Lavishly Dunn

We hired Lavishly Dunn to cater our wedding in a unique venue in Boston. We chose them because their food quality and menu options were excellent and their pricing was the best that we could find of that caliber. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend them to others planning a wedding as their customer service is very poor. There were several different meetings in which the owner came ill-prepared and disorganized, which led to an incredible amount of stress. From the beginning there was misrepresentation in pricing and menu choices and lack of attention to detail which led to us having to micromanage the process. While the staff onsite was gracious and the food was delicious, dinner was served late and once the buffet was plated, there was no coordination or communication with our guests who needed to move through the buffet line promptly. Ultimately, we never received a thank you or congratulations after the event, nor was there communication or presence from the owner on the day of the wedding as we had discussed. So much so, that our venue coordinator actually removed Lavishly Dunn from their preferred vendor list.The food was very good, but the chaotic way the business is run outweighed the positives.

Our main focus for our wedding was DELICIOUS food, and Lavishly Dunn completely delivered. Every guest commented on how delicious everything was, and how it wasn't the typical wedding fare, but true restaurant quality cuisine. There were a few logistical issues, but the owner Jonathan completely stepped up on the day of the wedding, and even bartended when he was short-staffed. Definitely recommend!

We just had our wedding yesterday. They delivered to our home, our wedding "venue."The food was complimented by my guests more times than I can count. Lavishly Dunn was so accommodating to all of our guests' dietary needs/restrictions. Easy to work with. Lovely people.

Simply Dunn catering is the best the South Shore has to offer! It’s a family run business with the nicest staff ever. I have had two events catered by them where they came to our home. The first was a 50th birthday party with nearly 100 guests in our yard. The second was a Friendsgiving last week for 50 people. We had the most amazing Chef, bartender, and event coordinator both times. The food was outstanding, but the professionalism and ability to problem small last minute items will keep us returning time and time again. For the birthday party we had a lot of fresh seafood which they displayed beautifully. The Friendsgiving we did gourmet flat breads and Chinese food. The guests were raving about the food. Today I picked up our second catered Thanksgiving meal for 12. It takes all the stress out of the day and I can enjoy my family. Garlic mashed is always a fan favourite and their cranberries. You cannot go wrong with Simply Dunn! Special shout out to Jonathan Dunn who has hired cream of the crop staff. Also, grateful for Jane who has helped me pull off two events without any bumps. And to Chef Hugo who crushed Friendsgiving 2023. Yeah Simply Dunn!!

Our little bridal shower at the Scituate Marine Center was perfect! Desiree and her crew were amazing! The food was great and the service was fantastic. They thought of everything … and just as I’d wonder about something else … they’d take care of that too! Above and beyond my expectations. Thanks for making our day wonderful!

Love the service, food and professionalism of Lavishly Dunn. All events I have had them cater have been fantastic. Would highly recommend them to cater any event you are planning for a large or small group.

Jonathan and the Lavishly Dunn Team are the best in the business. We had about 190 guests for our Vineyard wedding and Lavishly Dunn delivered. They had to travel, bring all of the food and equipment over on a ferry in the middle of a storm. Despite so many obstacles they made it happen and the bride and I did not have to worry about any of it. If you are looking for a reliable caterer for your wedding, please look no further. Not to mention they are affordable, and you don’t get the impression that you are being overcharged. All of our wedding guests raved about how great the food was and they all wanted more. We are all aware that wedding catering not always the best, Lavishly Dunn is the exception. Our options were the Steak, Salmon, Chicken and for vegatarians we had the Butternut Squash Ravioli, and everyone was please with there meals. The hors d’oeuvre’s were also phenomenal. Everything about there service was just so seamless and perfect, I could not have asked for a better wedding caterer. We will be back for our 10 year!

Lavishly Dunn catered a baby shower for us recently, and we were so thrilled with how everything came together. We had an omelet station with sides. The food was delicious, and we received so many complements... someone called it the best omelet they had ever had. Scott and Lee were so nice, helpful, prepared and professional. Cannot say enough good things about the Lavishly Dunn team! Thank you for helping make our event a success.
