"Suddenly Simple Catered our Celebration of Life for my wife Mary Ann. Melissa immediately understood how important the event was to us. She was wonderful to work with. She is responsive, professional, expertly guided us to a perfect event. The food she and her team prepared in our kitchen was delicious, looked great, our guests loved the variety and quality. Her staff was warm, friendly, courteous and professional. We highly recommend Melissa and her team, this is the only caterer we would use going forward."

"I attended a dinner catered by Melissa, and the food was DIVINE! Not only was every morsel delicious, but her ingredients were sourced from local farms and businesses - obviously using high quality, fresh ingredients is important to her. To me, the best part was the the entire menu was gluten free and vegan! As someone with dietary restrictions, it was such a treat to be able to eat a delicious meal without having to worry about feeling lousy afterwards! I should also add that I had the chance to talk with Melissa after the dinner, and she is an absolute delight. She has such a beautiful passion for the food she makes and the satisfaction of her customers. I can't wait to eat her food again!"

"Amazing from start to finish! My husband had Suddenly Simple come and cater a New England clam bake for 13 people out on Saquish Beach for my 50th birthday....appetizers, fresh made clam chowder, steak, chicken, corn, salads, potato, steamers and ten 2.5lb lobsters!!! These two incredibly talented woman did it all and not a crumb left behind after they cleaned up!! Not only did they make a 30 minute beach drive to get to us, but they also lugged all the food, pots, pans and everything they needed to prepare our feast up a tall flight of stairs to the beach house out at the very tip of the point!! We will recommend to all our friends and family and without a doubt hire this company again...I am rating this entire experience a 10 out of 5! Don't miss this unforgettable opportunity the next time your looking to cater a special event or intimate dinner."

"We had a small family garden party. The servers/chef were outstanding. They arrived three hours before the event and hit the ground running. We loved the menu which was hot, fresh, well seasoned and artistically presented. They are friendly, cheerful and professional in every way.
Thank you for giving me an opportunity to be a guest at my own party."

I'd never dream of using anyone else."

"We had a fabulous 50th wedding anniversary with Suddenly Simple! From our initial meeting to the actual day, Melissa understood what we wanted and she delivered. The food was fresh, exciting and just what we wanted! We couldn't have had a better company to work with. It took out all the hassle that catering for our 50th Wedding Anniversary could have been and made it a very relaxing time for our family. We certainly will recommend her to all our friends! It was a very special day for us!"

She is passionate about her work and it shows!"

"I was very impressed with the event. It was well-planned and well-executed. My guests raved about the food and were eager to know who did the event. They did a great combination of working with my resources and theirs - a wonderful team effort. They left the event cleaned up but serviceable for the straggling guests. They even arranged the multiple bouquets of flowers that I received (What a thoughtful gesture!) My guests and I felt very pampered, and I was free to thoroughly enjoy my own party. Really well-done!"

"At work we have used Suddenly Simple for a handful of occasions. They are our "go to" caterer for our special events. We are a town office, and therefore have a budget we need to stick to. Not only has Suddenly Simple kept within our budget, they have gone above and beyond to make everything they do very special. The food is always delicious and very creative. The staff is always courteous and professional. Everything always looks beautiful and completely cleaned up when they leave. We can't wait to use them again. Thanks Suddenly Simple! You're the best."

"Melissa and Suddenly Simple events helped me to develop and execute a large fundraising event for the Cohasset Working Dog Foundation. Her amazingly creative ideas launched the theme for our event, which was so successful that we will use it again next year and the year after! Food ideas, decorations and creative cocktails all made our event so much fun for our guests and ultimately a financial success for us. I will absolutely use SSE again for my next event!"
