Weddings

Catering company known for farm-to-table menus and accommodating allergies, with friendly staff.

Plan your event

Booking basics

Mobile bartenders book by the date, not the walk-in — popular Saturdays (especially May–October) go months out, so inquire early with your date, venue, guest count, and whether you want a full package or dry hire. Most will hold a date with a deposit and a signed agreement.

A directory can't see anyone's calendar — availability, travel fees, and minimums always come from the bartender directly.

From the reviews

Wheelhouse provided exceptional catering for our wedding in Sunderland this August. We contacted three caterers while planning. Wheelhouse was by far the most responsive, organized, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. (One took weeks to respond and another ghosted us!

★★★★★ — Josh, Aug 2025

Last year I began my search for the perfect caterer for our outdoor wedding. I called and emailed many companies, but Wheelhouse really stuck out for me. They were detailed and thorough right from the beginning during our first phone call. We worked with Stephanie throughout the past year.

★★★★★ — Mariah, Oct 2021

We used Wheelhouse to cater both our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding, and could not be happier with the quality of food and service! Throughout the planning process, Zofia and Cassie were an absolute pleasure to work with.

★★★★★ — Katherine, May 2026

My husband and I got married at Montague Retreat Center this fall and we were lucky enough to have Wheelhouse as the exclusive caterer for our wedding day. We attended a spring tasting event and fell in love with both the food we were served and the people serving us.

Booking Wheelhouse Catering for a wedding

Weddings come up for Wheelhouse Catering — confirmed on their own site, so they'll know the rhythm of the day: cocktail hour hits all at once, then the bar settles into a steady hum until the last dance. Two numbers get your quote right. First, the staffing math: the standard rule is one bartender per 50–75 guests — so a 150-guest wedding usually means two to three bartenders, and going thin here is the classic cocktail-hour line mistake. Second, drinks per guest: plan on roughly two drinks in the first hour and one per hour after; a dry-hire bartender can turn that into an exact shopping list for your headcount so nothing runs out and nothing goes back to the store.
