Wood Fire Food

ve expressed to us that it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. We experienced inclement weather during the first half of the wedding, and Dan and team kept the fire burning to deliver an even better taste and culinary experience than promised. What truly set Wood Fire Food apart was their exceptional day-of service. During the period of inclement weather, the staff adapted and made everyone feel calm during the storm. This kind of high-quality service in addition to the food is what sticks in our minds about the event. We did have a few unforeseen challenges, as is with any wedding planning process. There was difficulty with the tent vendor as the ceremony tent was smaller than expected and couldn't accommodate our guest headcount, and the reception tent did not come with siding even though we had planned for bad weather on the wedding day. Additionally, there was some back and forth on items being invoiced during the two week leadup to the date that created some stress, but was resolved swiftly. All this said, it truly was an exceptional day and the happiest of our lives thanks to Wood Fire Food. Thank you, Wood Fire Food, for making our special day even more memorable!

ceived nothing but wildly rave reviews from everyone (even the vegans!)- but, what they provided for us went way above and beyond simply the culinary tastes of the day. Everything that I asked for was represented. Things I didn’t ask for were worked in and mixed into our story, such as the charred peppers. That seemingly tiny addition brought in my mom’s Italian roots- there wasn’t a week of my life where there weren’t Italian long hot peppers drying in her kitchen. And with my mom having passed 5 years ago, it was such a special way to have a piece of her and her roots represented at the buffet. I truly can’t even pick my favorite dish of the evening, but the beef and the trout were both out of this world! And as for the drinks? I had told you I was making lemon lavender sage candles as favors and wanted to craft a special drink utilizing those flavors. And it was THE BEST mixed drink I think I’ve ever had! (And my groom kept getting me refills, which had me feeling pretty darn happy by the time we were roasting s’mores near the open flames 😆😆). Not only was that drink delicious, so were the welcome drinks (my 8 year old son LOVED it and kept asking if there was alcohol in his since it was so good! 😂) and the bourbon with orange bitters. AND the orange wine I tried, also divine! Now for the s’more roast… I can only imagine that the timing of s’mores with that absolutely glorious sunset was a testament to the professionalism of the entire Wood Fire Food team in combination with our other vendors, working together so seamlessly. I never once felt rushed, or like we were missing something we hadn’t wanted to miss, everything was so perfectly timed with dinner and the s’more roast and dessert. It was also pretty awesome to be able to watch the action happening outside, from inside the venue. The waitstaff were SUPER sweet, as well, and so very accommodating. Wood Fire Food helped to make our special day truly memorable and unique for our guests. And that is EXACTLY what we wanted. We wanted to treat our small circle of closest family and friends to the night of their lives… and thanks in large part to these guys and gals, I think we did just that. Would highly, highly recommend to anyone!

fter, we knew if we waited, they would have been booked on our date. Unlike other caterers, who may delegate managers to serve multiple clients on the same day, Wood Fire Food gives 100% to whatever couple is lucky enough to have the undivided attention of master chef Daniel Sabia. We felt like the luckiest couple in the world that we had Daniel and his incredible team running the F&B at our wedding. We knew the food would be breathtakingly delicious, beautifully presented, and have an aura of romanticism that would take our guests breath away. However, what impressed us further was that Daniel took care of so many other details. Because of his experience and connections to other vendors, the process of rentals, tent, etc were entirely seamless. We had planned a long table in a field, but Daniel was clear on his recommendation that we secure a tent just in case of rain. Thank goodness! Because of Daniel's advance planning, we had zero stress around the weather, as he interfaced with the tent company. It poured all morning, and the sun came out just in time for the service, so we ended up with a glorious setting - all the while, Daniel's team cooking the whole day under tents in the pouring rain to prepare the most delicious meal imaginable! Daniel is not just a phenomenal chef and logistics genius; he is an artist. I would trust him with any event and recommend him SO highly. In fact, our day was so incredible, we've already booked them and the same venue for our 5th anniversary party. Our only regrets were not scheduling more time for the meal and the music that followed, as people loved the food experience so much and could have sat another hour just enjoying it and visiting together. Please also know that since Daniel is so committed to each couple the week and day of their event, he doesn't spend a ton of time in the months ahead holding your hands, as he's very busy serving other clients. No matter - his professionalism is unparalleled when it comes to your day. THE BEST.

unforgettable bite, their artistry unfolded like poetry. Wood Fire Food's mastery extended beyond the kitchen to the art of hospitality. The warmth and grace with which they orchestrated every detail made us feel like honored guests in our own love story. The team's dedication and passion were palpable, turning our celebration into an all-day experience that exceeded our wildest dreams. Initially, our expectation was that The WFF team would cater a casual picnic style lunch and a simple, but elevated, family style dinner. Any other details or elements of our wedding weekend would be handled and coordinated by us and our friends and family. After our first consult with Dan, we could sense that his approach to events is not centered around a single moment, but every moment and every detail. Over time we ended up collaborating on nearly every component of planning, ordering, and execution of the entire weekend. WFF has an extensive network of resources and was able to source and keep track of dozens of items that needed to be rented, delivered, set up. Trusting in Dan and the WFF to execute on our shared vision was simple, because we could sense that he cared about our experience and that he was extremely passionate about crafting quality moments. When we had questions about rentals or had ideas about adding a service, the WFF team was available and eager to lean in and support. It is not uncommon to hear people reflecting on how challenging planning their wedding was, our experience was, in large part to Dan and the WFF team, easy and fun. While there were nearly a dozen WFF team members supporting with setting up, prepping, cooking, serving, etc, we got a sense early on that Anastasia (Stash) was going to lead the team as the conductor of the day. Stash was warm, engaging, direct, professional. Her presence and focus grounded the day and allowed the transitions to be completely seamless. She is an absolute joy and we felt honored to get to spend some time after the dinner getting to hear about her life and passions. It is absolutely apparent that WFF has many special components layered into its business, but it’s people are what bring it all to life. From the culinary perspective, what was originally ideated to be a simple lunch and an elevated family style dinner, turned into a culinary symphony that our guests lauded as “some of the best food they’ve ever had, ever”. Wood Fire Food curated an absolute masterpiece of a weekend. We hold them highly accountable for our fond reflections of what was one of the most special moments in our lives. Thanks Dan, thanks Stash, and thanks to the rest of the Wood Fire Food team!

looking for a caterer who did that. We got so much more than we were hoping for with WFF though. Dan was super flexible and excited to make all kinds of adjustments to the food and drink menus to really make it fit our style. We tried not to throw too many last minute curveballs, but Dan had everything covered and totally rolled with the punches. He also has an infectious confidence that help us keep cool headed: if we ever brought up something we thought might be a concern, or turn in to a problem, he was always already a step ahead and ready to solve it for us. He let us use, and helped us set up, a few of his fire pits as part of our wedding ceremony. The yummy smell of food cooking over open fires just wafted through the whole area all day, it was all amazing. TLDR: Couldn't recommend working with WFF enough. Everything they made was delicious, Dan is a great partner for putting a great event together, and his team was super on top of their game and made everything painless on the day of the wedding.
