Bourassa Catering and Events

Thank you so much for delicious food for my son’s graduation party! Everyone raved about how good everything was from the salads to the entrees to the desserts! I was a bit worried if I ordered enough food but the quantity was as amazing as the quality of the food. As you know this was the first time I used you but it will not be the last! Much appreciated!

My company used Bourassa Catering for several holiday lunches and dinners, all of which were fantastic! This included the seasonal cranberry shortbread cookies for dessert.
Bob goes above and beyond to provide high quality service:
— Delivery was on time with pleasant set-​up staff (she was amazing!).
— They answer questions promptly and provide helpful suggestions if needed.
— Food quality is excellent! Hot and delicious, perfectly seasoned meals.

I hosted a baby shower of 50 guests for my daughter on Sunday, 9÷13÷2015. Definitely one of the smartest things I did was to have Bourassa Catering and Events do the catering and for arranging for two waitstaff of Bourasa’s choosing to help at the event. The food was delicious and visually appealing. Natalie in the office provided guidance on what to select. Two of my guests had dietary restrictions and I was prepared to order addtiional food to accomodate them. Natalie showed me how easily the food I ordered could be easily adapted for my two guests and I didn’t incur any additional expense. The waitstaff — Jan and Dolores — were delightful, professional and accomodating. I truly did not lift a finger. They were charming and hospitable with my guests. I hit the jackpot with the decision to go with Bourassa Catering for this event and would recommend them without reservation.

I crossed my fingers and hoped I had picked a good caterer to help me arrange for a family gathering in Wallingford that I was orchestrating from out of state. I hit the jackpot! Bourassa Catering is fantastic! Catherine was very kind and delightful to work with. The delivery was on time and the lovely ladies who delivered helped me set up everything perfectly. The food was excellent; fresh, and very tasty. Clean up was a breeze. I highly recommend Bourassa Catering. Maureen O’Neil Dryja

My wife and I used Bourassa Catering for our outdoor wedding reception on 9÷27÷2014, of about 90 people. They were fantastic. We built our wedding up from scratch, using our house as the reception venue. During the initial meeting, Bob listened to our likes and dislikes, and then created a menu and proposal that fit our taste buds and wallets.
From that point, we worked with Natalie on putting the rest of the reception together. From the start we had a really good idea of what we wanted, and she worked through any changes that we threw at her — they were extremely flexible with our requests. We had some vegetarians and vegans and were able to create a separate plate for these guests. They were fantastic to work with and conscious about our budget through the whole process. They have a great rapport with other vendors for seating, tents, etc. They provided a «one stop shop» for all things an outdoor wedding would need.
On the day of, the team provided exceptional service. The entire staff was friendly and professional to us and our guests. They took care of all setup (tables looked fantastic) and breakdown, keeping our venue clean
The food was phenomenal. Our guests to this day, still talk about all of the food (appetizers and dinner) they had at our reception and how delicious it was. We could not recommend Bourassa Catering enough.

My husband and I used Bourassa Catering at our wedding reception at the New Haven Museum. Natalie was exceptionally attentive to our budget, concerns, and a few changes in the schedule. They were affordable, friendly, and didn’t charge us for «cake cutting.» They were able to amend the menu upon requests, willing to be flexible, and answer questions we had about what items were vegan, gluten-​free, etc.
The food itself was great! It perfectly met our expectations and our guests’! The dinning room looked terrific and the staff was efficient and friendly! They kept the venue looking clean and professional throughout the evening. They were also incredibly friendly to us and our guests.
As the grooms, we didn’t have a lot of day-​of interaction; however, we only heard wonderful things from the friends we had «on the ground» the day of about how attentive and flexible our Caterers were.
LGBT friendly! Would recommend them to other couples – especially if you are using the New Haven Museum!

Bob and his company catered my event for about 40 people this past Saturday. They did all of the food and a bar package. Everything was delicious — we received nothing but compliments, especially on their mini reubens! The staff was wonderful — from start to finish they were on top of everything, always anticipating my next question or request. By the time we arrived to the party everything was set up and ready to go, and my guests and I were treated to an excellent night. This was my first catered event and I cannot speak highly enough about this company.

We had the wedding reception in a museum, and it was fabulous because we were in the capable hands of Bourassa Catering. We were blown away by the excellent food and the professional staff and the smooth efficiency with which Bob and his crew conducted the wedding reception for our family.
From the ‘meet and greet’ to the dinner and the dessert, the term ‘well-​oiled machine’ doesn’t even approach the outstanding performance of everyone involved. The chefs were affable at the serving stations, The serving captain kept everything moving on schedule, and every one of the the servers was lovely and alert and helpful.
Thanks for helping us plan this event, stay within budget, and put on a feast for our family and friends.
Bourassa Catering will be our caterer for the next event, too.

I was referred to Bob to cater a corporate event and thought, «ok, standard cookies, cheese, crackers and beverages.» What we received was delicious cookies, a beautiful tray of crackers, the right amount of beverages and service that went above and beyond. So happy they will be catering two more events in the next few weeks. I would highly recommend Bob, you can tell he loves what he does and he truly cares.

We had an extremely positive experience working with Bourassa Catering for our wedding. From my initial contact with Bob, he was fantastic in answering my countless questions throughout the year and quickly became my go-​to person for advice on menu selections and day-​of logistics. He was always quick with responses and is enormously helpful with suggestions. Most importantly, he offers a fantastic variety of inspired food options that stand out from the typical catering fare. Based on his sample options, we hired him without even testing his food — we figured if he could put together such a wonderful menu, his food must be tasty! Sure enough, we were absolutely thrilled with our food the day of our wedding, and we received many enthusiastic compliments from guests. The service was phenomenal, the staff was down-​to-​earth, and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend Bourassa Catering for dependable, wonderful service!

I feel that their service was top of the line and professional. When I made the first call to find out information on pricing they handled everything with up most respect in regards to my concerns. They gave me more food then I had expected for the price. They arrived on time and set up the food and over exceeded my expectations. All my guests loved the food. I would highly recommend using Bourassa Catering and Events for your next party!
