Review from a wedding and event planner.



A Wedding & Event Planner’s Testimonial:

I have worked with Chef Eric Gaffin for the past 7 years and have availed of his talents on behalf of my clients for wedding and special events on numerous occasions. 





He has always created unique menu options with extraordinary value and integrity. Our clients have always been amazed by his attention to detail in the presentation, execution and final result in all his work. Whether he was catering to one of our cocktail parties, weddings or even my father's memorial service, Chef Eric has come through for us time after time. 














I would highly recommend contacting Chef Eric and his team for a show-stopping buffet, seated silver service dinner or even a home-cooked meal for entertaining in the privacy of your home. He is reliable, fair priced and loves what he does. It shows each and every time in the events he produces. You won't be disappointed.

Wedding Cupcakes or Wedding Cake by EatInClub.com

http://EatInClub.com  
Wedding cupcakes were originally thought to be a passing fad, but it looks like they're here to stay! It's no wonder: these pint-size confections add a whimsical touch to your wedding reception with the added bonus of being slightly more affordable than a traditional wedding cake. But is a cupcake wedding cake right for you? We break it down below.

Are Wedding Cupcakes Cheaper?

Cupcakes typically cost as a caterer in Boston about $3,50 each, whereas a traditional wedding cake is a hefty $7.00 to $12.00 per slice.
If you want to spring for fancy cupcake liners, decorative stands, and intricate decorations, that cheap little cupcake is going to cost a whole lot more. If you are choosing to serve cupcakes in order to save some money, remember to keep it simple. However, if you just like the whimsical feel of cupcakes, and have a big budget, you can make these desserts really memorable.

Are Wedding Cupcakes Appropriate?     
http://EatInClub.com 

There's something so nostalgic and childlike about unwrapping a cupcake. And that's what people both love and hate about wedding cupcakes – are they fun and familiar or too casual and unsophisticated?

If you're having a formal wedding, you may want to stick with a grand and formal wedding cake. If your wedding guests are traditional people, they might think cupcakes are too casual, or worse, cheap.

But if you're having a relaxed reception where fun is the primary goal, tell everyone to be a kid again and grab a cupcake. Once they're up and having fun on the dance floor, they won't have to sit again for dessert. They'll just grab a cupcake and keep on groovin'.

We have found a way for Brides and Grooms to have their cake and eat it too: get a small 6" cake to sit on the top of your cupcake tower. You can use this for the ceremonial cake cutting, and then freeze the rest for your 1-year anniversary.

Another 5 Star review for Chef Eric Gaffin


Alana & Aaron
http://EatInClub.com 
I used Chef Eric for my wedding as well as our rehearsal dinner and I can not say enough good things about my experience with them. I worked with Chef from the very beginning on my wedding planning process and I am so happy I had him as our caterer. Eric loves what he does and it shows. He is passionate and bent over backwards to help me with anything I needed. I am so happy with how our wedding went, the food was excellent and I still have people telling me how delicious everything was. We chose to have a blend of Italian foods (for my heritage) and New England foods (for the location of the wedding) and I was so happy how the combinations of the two types of food were incorporated into our appetizers and entrees.  We were so surprised when our trolley pulled up to see banners on each side with pictures of us and our names and wedding date. This was something Eric and his team did for us as a surprise-and it was such a good one! I am so happy with everything and I hope to go to weddings in the future who used Chef, so I can eat the delicious food! Thank you for making my wedding such a success.
