We are the first choice caterer among many of the island's businesses and charities
"THANK YOU! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect catering experience. Every detail, every bite & every single server was absolutely incredible. You guys are the best of the best & by far our absolute favorite vendor on the island. You went above & beyond with short notice & gave us so much advice and support. Than you again for everything! P.S. You were so right about the cheese puffs :)" --Melissa & Mike--2023
"Thank yo so much for creating the most special menu for us. Food is so incredibly important to us and it has been so fun and wonderful working with you to make our dream day a reality. Thank you for your dedication, patience, and awesome energy throughout the whole planning process. We are so grateful to you and your whole team!" --Blaine & Simon--2023
"Thank you for all your help at our wedding celebration! The food was so great and the service was just as great as the food. Your staff did a phenomenal job. Please let them know everyone I have spoken to says it was the best food & service they have EVER had at a wedding. Thank you again!" --Linda & Lenny--2023
"Where do we begin? We loved every bite we took and so did our guests. While wedding meals are usually forgettable at best and bad at their worst, we have been told by everyone how incredible it was! Thank you for making every part of this process fun with your attention to detail and calming nature! You nailed it, thank you!" --Annette & Jamie--2023
"Thank you for creating the most delicious feast for our wedding guests! You certainly delivered on your promise of the food being plentiful and tasty! One of our favorite memories was getting our bride and groom appetizer plate during photos-I still dream about the cheese puffs. Taylor-you were so helpful and patient during our wedding planning and we can't tell you how much we enjoyed working with you. Our guests haven't stopped talking about the amazing food and the professionalism of your team. We can't thank you enough!" --Elizabeth & Josh--2022
"I cannot speak highly enough of Taylor and the team at Buckley’s. We worked with them over the course of 2.5 years for our 235 person event in a tent outdoors with no kitchen, no ice, and barely any running water. Taylor and her team made everything so easy and were so kind about my numerous questions. They corresponded directly with our planner (Plan It MV) and rental company (Big Sky) to coordinate anything that was needed to make our event a success. Our guests raved about how delicious our food was and how kind the servers and bartenders were. Coursing such a large meal is no small feat but they managed to bring all of the food out efficiently and there were zero lines at the bar. I can’t speak highly enough of Buckley’s catering - we feel so lucky to have worked with them. Thank you, Taylor!!" --Shalei & Adam--2022
"If you’ve stumbled across this review, it likely means you’re considering Buckley’s for your wedding or event. If so, my only advice is to book them IMMEDIATELY! Wow! I cannot stress enough how wonderful it was to work with Taylor and her team as we planned our wedding on Martha’s Vineyard. Not only are our guests still raving about the food (their selections are endless and everything was INCREDIBLE!) Taylor is so organized and on top of it all that she was the perfect companion for this type-A bride and offered so much knowledge and guidance beyond her job description. She is a DREAM to work with and we recommend Buckley’s to anyone planning an event on Martha’s Vineyard. I promise this will be the best and easiest decision you make throughout your planning process!" --Stephanie-An & Chris--2022
"Thank you so much to you and your team for making our wedding truly unforgettable. You all did such an amazing job bringing our vision to life. The table setup, food, and positive energy from you and your teams so incredible! We cannot thank you enough and we are so grateful we go to work together." --Sara & Alex--2021
"I wanted to reach out to you and the entire Buckley Catering team to let you know that you all were so amazing for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. The food was delicious and all the guests at the wedding were amazed and wanted to know how the hell you could possibly cook such delicious food out of a tent? You guys are a class act and you were a large part of making our daughter's dream wedding come true. All of your staff were so kind, friendly and professional. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Any bride and groom would be crazy not to hire the best catering team there is." --Bonnie & Tom--2021
"Buckley's Gourmet Catering was involved in nearly every meal of a long wedding weekend we hosted on Martha's Vineyard. From our buffet-style rehearsal dinner, to plated wedding, to a post-wedding brunch and burgers/hotdog style cookout, the entire Buckley family was right there with us. Not only was the service incredibly professional, but the staff were so warm-- by the end of the weekend, I felt we knew each other! The team helped take the stress of feeding everyone away so that we could enjoy our weekend, and the food was TOP NOTCH. We had braised short ribs and herb encrusted cod with a lemon beurre blanc for wedding dinner, and we got to have a taste of the sea-fare through a tour of shellfish for our appetizers. They provided professional bartending services, and our kitchen was always cleaned to sparkle when they left. We cannot thank the Buckleys enough for making our wedding weekend so delicious!" --Elke & Matt--2021
"LOVED LOVE LOVED having Buckley's gourmet cater my brother's wedding. I am NOT a wedding planner, nor have I ever been to MV. I was just helping out, and I would be nothing w/o Taylor's VERY generous guidance - not only with food, but with the entire event in general. I just had to say what the theme of our wedding was [Italian/Medi coast], and she devised the most perfect menu - from Hors d'oeuvres to dessert. 2 months after the wedding, the guests are STILL talking about how delicious everything was! The entire team runs like a well-oiled machine but with a heart of gold and a vision of an artist. AND let's not forget all of this in time of Covid with heavy restrictions and a VERY spontaneous, last minute wedding. Anyone looking for a caterer in MV, just stop at Buckley's Gourmet Catering." --Marina K--2020
"It has been a month since the wedding and each day since I have thought about how happy everyone was and what a perfect celebration it was of Tim and Hillary. Thank you for everything that you and your incredible team did to make the wedding perfect! The food was beyond delicious. People lost their minds over the raw bar. The cocktail hour, the dinner-all wonderful! The service was lovely in every way. You were easy to work with at every turn. Truly delightful! Thank you!" --Jennifer F--2019
"Thank you so very much for everything you did for us before, during, and after the wedding. Not only was the food delicious (we got so many compliments), but working with you was such a pleasure. You put us in touch with so many great vendors and made the entire experience amazing. You and your team worked so hard to make our wedding special, and we are so grateful for that." --Victoria & Owen--2019
"Thank you so much for providing the most incredible food at our wedding! Not only was the food delicious, but your hard work setting up, serving, keeping track of the timeline, and cleaning up made the day so stress free for us. Your advice and guidance leading up to the big day was the biggest help in the world. We are so happy you were a part of our wedding. Thank you for making it even more amazing than we could have ever imagined." --Michael and Olivia--2019
"We were lucky enough to have Buckley’s cater our wedding in September and truly could not be happier with our decision. Right from the beginning, the entire team was so easy to work with, no matter how indecisive I was! They helped us curate the perfect menu for our early fall outdoor wedding, accommodating allergies and picky eaters alike. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was so friendly. I 100% would recommend them to anyone for any event or party!" --Rebecca M--2018
"WHAT AN AMAZING EVENING! You guys made it so special for us before, during, and after. You are an absolute gem and we loved working with you. The food oh my goodness it was amazing. Every single person there loved it, and our parents were SO happy with everything!" --Katie and Victor--2018
" The food was amazing as was the charisma of the staff. All of our guests have been commenting on how great the food was and how pleasant all of you were to them. The beef was cooked to perfection, the swordfish was amazing, the beet salad was perfect, the martini potato bar was all the rage, and the artichokes were exactly what I was hoping for. It was spectacular! Being in the food industry, our guests had very high expectations of the food and you surely out-did yourselves." --Lauren and Todd-- 2011
" Thank you so much for making everything look so beautiful and taste so good! You were a calm, cheerful, and trusted advisor throughout my planning process and it wouldn't have been the same with out you. A million thanks!" --Susan and George-- 2010
" The food was absolutely perfect (people have been raving about it!), the service fast and generous, and it was truly a pleasure working with you these past months. Thank you for all of your hard work, your unwavering calm, and for a really perfect meal". --Emily and Josh-- 2009
