Sample catered weddings

Gretchen and Zach met in the Caribbean, and wanted to include some island vibes in their wedding reception menu and decor choices. They also wanted other vegetarian food that would work with Caribbean flavors. So we curated a cohesive menu featuring Puerto Rican, South Asian and East Asian food, with extensive vegan and gluten-free options!

    Excellent communication throughout tastings, pre-wedding meetings, and the wedding itself. Upohar went to the venue beforehand to make sure they were prepared to bring their food truck. The food was absolutely delicious and we got so many compliments from guests. Josiah was professional and helpful throughout the entire process, and kept the night running very smoothly.

  • Great food and easy to work with.

    We were booking out of state for our wedding and the team at Upohar did a fantastic job. It was a multicultural wedding and we were wanting to accommodate West African food with Mid-Westerners. We didn’t want to slice them out too much and we wanted to introduce the flavors of West Africa. Upohar did a great job and the food was well received!

    Upohar was terrific, from the tasting to the wedding day; they were easy to communicate with and provided clear invoices with all information included. They had so many food options that we had trouble choosing our favorites. We loved having the food truck for our guests to pick up appetizers (samosas/empanadas) during cocktail hour and their entrees during the reception. All the food was served hot, and on the bamboo plates I requested. We even had plenty of leftovers to eat with friends for several days after the event. All the food was wonderful, but we especially highly recommend the beef empanadas and pollo asado entree. Don't hesitate to book Upohar for your event; they were a foodie's dream!
