Reviews of Twelve 31 Events (Event Planner)

Sonali Divilek

I hired Twelve 31 Events to put together a celebratory weekend for me and my 45 guests. Everyone was from out of town and they made sure every part of the weekend went off without a hitch. Their food is amazing - my friends are still talking about it 2 weeks later. The planning leading up to the event was spot on. They managed and sourced all the vendors and were able to provide detailed, organized updates leading up to the weekend. I highly recommend.

I sampled a couple of amazing dishes prepared by Twelve 31 Events recently. Delicious Italian style cuisine, prepared simply and elegantly. A fine catering choice!

Food was absolutely delicious for our wedding. We had guests continuously come up to us and say how great it was-many got second plates. Twelve 31 worked with us as well to create quality meals for our guests without breaking our budgets.

I recently started ordering from Twelve 31. The food is excellent. I've ordered from the home menu to save myself time, and have good cooked food ready to go. The portions are very reasonably priced. There's always left over, so I get more than just one meal. Weekends are too short for me to be spending time in the kitchen cooking. Now I can get done what I need to do and not have to think about cooking because it's done for me. Every meal I have ordered has been great, prime rib, chicken Marsala, chowder (excellent). Melissa and Mike have created something special with their creative menus, and they are both a delight to work with.

Twelve 31 provided food for a team dinner of 30 high school students. I had ordered the chicken parm on-line incorrectly, but Michael caught it and made sure we had enough food for the crowd. The kids loved the food and ate everything except for a small portion of the mac and cheese. Mike and Melissa were also able to make a gluten free version of their mac and cheese that tasted as good as their regular mac and cheese. The only difference was that they did not put bread crumbs on top which made it easier to tell the difference between the two dishes. I would recommend their food to anyone who likes hearty and flavorful food. I also recommend that you contact them directly as both Michael and Melissa are very helpful and creative.

I've had the opportunity to enjoy Melissa's catering on a couple occasions and she knows her stuff for sure! We had these amazing baguettes with goat cheese and steak that were so tasty, authentic new England Clam chowder, and too many other goodies to recount here. The bottom line is Melissa knows how to cook and run a great event! I highly recommend her!

Jessica Melito

I seriously cannot say nothing but unbelievable things about Melissa and her team. The food was phenomenal and so organized with everything that you need. I still cannot get over the broccoli it was just simply amazing. There was so much food and just the service alone was simply marvelous. Everything was clean and she was just on top of everything, so that everyone enjoyed themselves and that to me deserves 10 stars. The chicken was very moist and the lobster was cooked perfectly. Wonderful food with unbelievable service. SERVICE WITH A SMILE AND WE ALL WENT HOME WITH VERY FULL BELLIES.

I attended a business meeting this morning that was catered by Twelve 31 Events. The food choices were plentiful and healthy with fruit, yogurt, eggs and bacon, and the coffee piping hot! I especially enjoyed the seasoned shredded potatoes and vegetables. Fine texture and yet enough crisp to be very enjoyable!

Tammy McGowan

Italian food made like you are IN Boston omg! The fresh chicken is to die for especially when added to the Mac N. Cheese- tender, melt in your mouth (absolutely no grizzle either). Look no further for your event or just to take home for your family on busy work weeks - they are life savers for me & the kids You just Will Not get better Italian food than @ Twelve31 - Best BAR.NONE

Mike D.

The best seafood chowder I have ever had. Also love the lunch selection for meetings.

Monica Perkins

We had Twelve 31 for my sister's baby shower . Food was fantastic! Everyone enjoyed it! Very organized.

Megan Muldoon

Melissa and her team go above and beyond. We first hired Melissa to coordinate the day of our wedding, and once hired she immediately started looking for vendors, sending us quotes and getting everything into place. We decided to hire her catering services because of the work she had already done and we couldn’t have made a better decision. Melissa made our wedding day run as smooth and stress free as possible. Even with the rain she was able to come up with a plan to make everything turn out perfect. Her food was excellent and we thank Melissa and her entire team for their hard work, bringing everything together and making our wedding day as perfect as it was. If you are looking for someone to coordinate your event and want to have a stress free, organized event we highly recommend Melissa and Twelve 31 events!

Stacie LeBlanc

My experience was beyond amazing! They have found the perfect blend of talent, professionalism, and a feeling of being a longtime friend. That is rare in a business today. The food was superb! We ordered from the Monday menu: cod with seafood stuffing, rice, garlic broccoli, rolls and seafood chowder. Everything was cooked to perfection and so incredibly savory!!! When do ppl rave about vegetables?? Never!

Caroline Scott

These folks are fabulous. Food is delicious (everything truly tastes homemade!), reasonably priced, they arrive on time, will deliver (and the food is always piping hot), very responsive to questions and feedback, and will help you create a perfect menu for your event. I'd recommend them to anyone planning any kind of event -- business meeting, party, or more!

Jessica McKay

They did my wedding and were just wonderful! Food is excellent, staff is great!

Jennifer Davis

We were MORE than pleased with what Twelve 31 did for us for our Dance Party (wedding)! The food was spectacular and got rave reviews from guests! There was so much food, which was good, it kept us coming back for more. The Mac n'Cheese was to die for, the cupcakes were nom nom nomable and the gold plates were such a fun surprise! We are going to use your services for all future parties I can come up with! I’m so glad you were available for our Dance Party!

Juliet Harvey-Bolia

We had the pizza dip, which was something new for me. Cool idea and it was gobbled up in no time. Came with loads of garlic bread!

Renee P

I was extremely pleased with the food and service from Twelve 31 Events. Our guests raved about the food, especially the hot meal "Tray Favorites" selections; which included Chicken Ziti, BBQ Pulled Pork, and Sausage Peppers & Onions. As a non-meat eater I very much enjoyed the Mac & Cheese and the Roasted Vegetable Ravioli. The side dishes, salads, and sandwiches were fresh and flavorful. The desserts were delicious, especially the cookie and brownie platter!!! My mother called the mini cheesecakes "Superb"! Michael and Melissa were wonderful to work and plan with. I highly recommend Twelve 31 Events and will most definitely work with them again.

We began planning our wedding shortly after our engagement, and knew that we were going to need help. Doing a quick search on the internet, we found Melissa at Twelve 31 Events. To put it plain and simple, Melissa is an absolute saint. From the first moment we spoke with her on the phone, she immediately made us feel calm and confident that we could plan the perfect wedding that fit our personalities (and our busy schedules). We gave her just basic ideas of what we thought we'd like, and she really did the rest (vendor sourcing, creative decor ideas, staying true to our initial ideas without going over budget, etc.). Also, after our first discussion together, we came to find out that she also owns her own catering company. We gave her some basic food ideas, and she invited us to a personalized food tasting. We were nothing short of BLOWN AWAY by how delicious her food was (she's been catering for 20 years!). Weddings can be an extremely stressful event, but knowing that we had Melissa and her team available to us whenever we needed them, alleviated any of our worries! Regardless of the magnitude of any issue that came up (ie, regarding hair decor, flower thoughts, table decor, food ideas, vendor changes, guest list issues, wedding website recommendations, etc.), Melissa was always there to provide us with guidance and support! We wish we could select more than 5 stars - seriously. Not only do we feel that we have an amazing planner and caterer, but we've also made a great friend in the process. Do yourself a huge favor and contact Twelve 31 events - we promise you won't be disappointed!

Very nice to work with and food was so delicious! Our guests just raved about the food!

I found Twelve 31 on google looking for catered food for a special occassion . I went by the the reviews and took a chance. Glad I did. Melissa responded right away, was very polite and helpful. Food was delivered on time at our scheduled date and time. Everybody responded that they loved the food and asked where we got it from. Thank you Melissa and her staff for making this a memorable event.

Scott Burns

Twelve 31 has been catering our events for our organization and we had no complaints. Butternut Squash hit the spot on a cold night. Pork Chops with apples was great. Very flexible and easy to work with when there are some changes.

Joe Molloy

Melissa knows how to cook! The BEST seafood chowder I have ever had! Her attention to detail is spot on and she can make any meal or event special.

Kim Chandler

We hired Twelve 31 Events for my daughter's wedding. They styaed an extra hour because of the delay of the wedding and pictures. Thank you for taking that extra time and care. The food was wonderful. Many compliments on the dinner.

Alex Molloy

Melissa is wonderful to work with and her food is beyond 5 stars. Everyone is still talking about how delicious our business lunch was. I highly recommend Twelve 31 Events for their professionalism and amazing food!

Britt Riner

Professional, delicious, timely, and great communicators prior to the event

Megan Lewis

Our office recently ordered from the "at home" menu. We ordered lasagna, chicken pot pie, and mac and cheese. It was hot when it arrived and everything tasted fantastic. The chicken pot pie was the standout for me. I would highly recommend using Twelve 31 Events for office lunches, or bigger catered events. I was very impressed and we've already started planning on ordering from them again for payday lunch.

Katie Benton

We are a small company and we got some items from their "at home" menu. Let me just say it is incredibly hard to please everyone I work with, but not a stomach went empty and there was nothing but amazing feedback. The delivery was prompt, the food was amazing, and correspondence was smooth and easy. I would highly recommend using Twelve 31 Events for any work function or even getting one of their Chicken Pot Pies and having it for a family dinner! We will 100% be ordering from them again!

Casey Smith

My son graduated and I went to Twelve 31 Events to most of the food, From day one, figuring out what we wanted to the last minute changes. Michael took the time on the phone, never rushed (even with my multiple questions) he understood my event and made sure that it was going to be a success with all the food. Thank you again and BTY the Mac & Cheese, best I have ever had.

melinda daigle

This company is great! Their food is absolutely delicious. They did my bridal shower and we felt the portions were a little skimpy then did them again for my rehearsal dinner and I was blown away. The portions were great the food was awesome and everyone loved it. We ordered lasagna, Mac and cheese, veggie ravioli, chicken parm, all of the salads and the chicken broccoli ziti and grilled veggies and everything was absolutely amazing. Will definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone! They are both very nice and get back to you quickly with questions!

Toni Belair

Melissa and Michael of Twelve 31 Events were wonderful to work with and the food was fantastic. We hired them to provide the meal for our sons wedding rehearsal dinner. The main course was lobster and steamed clams which were perfect and we also had sausage with peppers and onions, chicken breast with rice pilaf, potato salad, coleslaw, corn on the cob, rolls and corn bread. The price was very reasonable for the amount of food provided. Thank you Melissa and Michael for providing such a wonderful meal.

Kimberly R. Edwards CPA

Delicious food, all home made on site and Melissa is so friendly and accomodating. She makes you feel like family and that your event is the most important event in the world. Attention to detail and adds special touches...she is so talented! Book your next event with Twelve 31...you will happy you did!!

Isaac Davis

Look no further for your next catered business lunch. Guaranteed to help you close your next business deal! They’ll leave happy and full! I know I am!

Dedee Greenleaf

Just enjoyed a bowl of chowder at the Taste of NH event and it was awesome! It tasted just like the chowder I would have at home in Quincy, Ma.! It was perfectly blended and the texture was spot on! I hope to enjoy it again! Thanks

Rebecca Burke

I hired Twelve31 to cater my Son’s Wedding Rehearsal Dinner. We also used their venue space they have available to rent. The entire experience from the tasting to picking up items we left behind the day after the wedding was wonderful. They are a joy to work with and everything about it was top notch! They were more than happy to accommodate the needs of two children, a vegetarian, a vegan, and a nut allergy. You can feel absolutely confident in hiring Twelve31 to cater any event you may be considering. The food and service is by far the best I have ever had. All 28 of my adult guests at the dinner felt the same way. Every single person mentioned to me how great the food and service was. I really cannot say enough goods things about Twelve31.
