Planner's guide

Best For: Corporate lunch meetings and business events, Wedding receptions and upscale celebrations, Private dinner parties and intimate gatherings, Community events and fundraisers

What planners usually like:

  • Direct communication with the catering team allows for menu customization and dietary accommodation discussions without intermediaries
  • Local Boston-based operation means shorter lead times for tastings and easier coordination during the planning process
  • Flexible service models that can adapt to venue constraints, setup requirements, and varying guest counts typical of Boston-area events

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Request detailed information about menu options, pricing tiers, and any minimum guest count requirements specific to your event type
  • Confirm whether they provide service staff, rentals (linens, plates, glassware), and bar service or if these are add-on costs
  • Discuss their availability window—with Friday hours ending at 2:00 PM, clarify whether evening or weekend events require special scheduling arrangements
  • Ask about their cancellation policy, deposit requirements, and timeline for finalizing menus and headcount changes

Common questions

What types of cuisine and menu styles does Catering By Andrew typically offer?

While specific menus aren't detailed in their standard listing, it's best to contact them directly at +1 617-731-6585 to discuss their available cuisines and whether they can accommodate specific dietary preferences or themed menus for your event. This conversation will help you determine if their culinary style aligns with your vision.

How far in advance should I book Catering By Andrew for my Boston-area event?

Booking timeframes vary depending on your event size and date. Contact them during their business hours (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, with Friday closing at 2 PM) to check availability and discuss recommended lead times, especially for weekend events or peak seasons.

Do they handle the full service setup, or do I need to arrange servers and rentals separately?

You'll need to ask about their service package details—specifically whether staff, table settings, beverage service, and cleanup are included in their catering quote or if these are separate line items. This clarifies your total budget and coordination needs.

Are they able to accommodate events outside Boston or at various venue types?

Since they're Boston-based and serve customers across the Boston area, confirm their service radius and whether they've worked with your specific venue type (restaurants, banquet halls, outdoor spaces, offices). Some venues have restrictions on outside catering.

How flexible is their menu if I have last-minute guest count changes?

Ask about their policy for adjusting headcount and menu selections, including any deadlines for changes and whether they can accommodate additions closer to your event date without penalty.

What payment and deposit structure should I expect when booking?

Clarify their standard deposit amount, payment schedule, final payment deadline, and accepted payment methods. Understanding these details upfront prevents surprises and helps with your event budget planning.
