Hi!
I am just starting to think about caterers if we go with a venue like Eastons Beach or the Towers.

Any suggestions?
Ive already called and gotten pricing and menus from Atomic.

    Russell Morin hands down! They are soooooooooo amazing!!!! and will work within your budget.  Their tastings are so fun and they are extremely reliable.

    We are using Atomic for our wedding in October and have had great luck with them so far. The tasting was AMAZING and they were really willing to work with us as far as budget. They have also been a great resource for as far as other vendors to use, in fact we have gotten discounts from vendors that we have booked because of Atomic.

    I highly suggest Liza at Morin's. She was amazing through our whole wedding process and took great care of us. They will work within any budget and their food is absolutely amazing. Everyone said that our wedding food was the best that theyve ever had.

    Morins! Our tasting was awesome and I can't wait for everything to be pulled together on our day. They work with your budget and guide you along the way.

    We love our caterer, B&M Clambake Co. (They do more than just traditional clambakes.) They gave us a full tasting before we even booked with them.

    Was Morin's really not willing to work under $100 pp? At all? I was hoping to meet with them but I'm not sure we can afford that... what did the $100 pp include?

    We're thinking of having our wedding maybe in May 2012.  I'm looking at the yachting center and regatta place too.  I just got an information packet in the mail about regatta place, they have some fun food station ideas.

    Hi...
    I know you had a ton of responses but I figured I would ad mine too :)

    I am using Russell Morin.  Laura has been amazing and has worked well within our budget (which is just under $100).  We opted for less expensive apps, and decided not to get our cake from them, but we are having open bar! We have not had our tasting yet but we can't wait!!!!   I'm sure they will work with you.
    It was stressful deciding but I am so happy with them! I feel like I won't have to worry about a thng that day, and that is priceless!! 
    Good Luck!
