Tara, Beth and the whole Piccolo crew did a wonderful job catering for our wedding. We had a magical outdoor wedding on a farm with about 80 people. We chose to serve food through ...cocktail hour (passed hors d'oeuvres, Tuscan display of meats, cheeses, veggies), a plated salad to start dinner service, a buffet, and after party snacks (flatbread pizzas and pretzels). We got many, many compliments on the excellent food!
For the months leading up to our event, Piccolo was kind, responsive, professional and thoughtful about making sure we had what we needed for the event we envision. They made a site visit to the venue with us, helped us create a list of needed rentals, and worked with us to make sure our guests' dietary restrictions were accounted for. During our tasting session at the restaurant to finalize our menu, it was clear that the team members had a great deal of respect and love for not only each other but for the food they serve.
On the weekend of the wedding, Tara and Beth came out with the team to set up and make sure we had what we needed. During the event, the service staff was kind and professional--they went out of their way to make sure they knew which guests needed the special plates, and made plates for my partner and I to make sure we didn't forget to eat getting swept up in the day. They went out of their way to make sure that the after party snacks were set up at a different site on the property. And their handling of clean up, folding all tables, chairs and cleaning up linens and glassware to be ready for rental pick up, was absolutely invaluable. Their smooth handling of so many of the pieces dramatically reduced our stress around those logistics and allowed us to be present with our people.
Our few very minor hiccups had to do with us not clearly communicating a couple of details we had prepped ahead of time (some signs we made for desserts that we brought didn't make it out to the tables, extra chairs we rented to give folks some space to move around had been put away so as to not be cluttered, etc). All of these were very much details that did not disrupt the flow of the event, and certainly didn't diminish what ended up being an absolutely extraordinary day. Extremely grateful for all their hard work in making the event so special and smooth!
