“Woodman’s was fabulous, beginning to end, from mussels to shortcake! (The whipped cream was gorgeous…no melting!) Our guests relished it all and your meal really created a memorable event, Woodman’s excellent food was enhanced by the pleasant and professional staff, and a complete clean-up! We are so glad we selected you, and we will heartily recommend you to any friends who plan outdoor parties in the future.”

“What a party we had!! It was a great celebration and Woodman’s was one of the main reasons for its success! Everyone was raving about how delicious everything tasted. And a few guests arrived saying they were so excited to see the Woodman’s trucks in the driveway! The staff all did such a fabulous job! My husband and I were able to have fun and enjoy the day without having to worry about preparing and serving food or cleaning up, which is just what we wanted.”

“Thank you all so much for the wonderful bbq that you put on for our company, I have heard nothing but great reviews from the employees for both the delicious and fresh food and your first-rate team of professionals. This lunch went off without a hitch and I am so grateful for the truly excellent service and responsiveness. Everyone was so nice! It was an absolute pleasure to deal with your group… Thank you again for providing us with a fabulous event!”

“During the last 9 months, I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Lauren. She answered all of my many questions and was so very prompt in getting back to me, Lauren made planning the event from out of state so smooth and seamless; The Rehearsal Dinner was amazing and all of our guests are still talking about how wonderful it was. So many of our Nebraska friends and family had never had anything like the wonderful seafood they had at Woodman’s that night. The All-American Clambake was scrumptious! We will be anxious to come back to Woodman’s next time we are in the area. Thanks so much for everything!”

“Yesterday we attended a Wedding in Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, NH catered by Woodman’s! It was by far the absolute best presentation and quality food served at any of the many weddings we have attended in very high end venues. I would highly recommend Woodman’s for any occasion you would like catered! They are very professional, attentive to detail and will make your catered event the most memorable event your guest will ever attend! Thank you Woodman’s for making our grandson’s wedding reception a huge success!!!””
