Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

We catered an event inside a newly renovated airport hanger at Logan airport. It had a 737 inside as the backdrop and we fed 600 people at the launch party; we had limited facilities and were able to feed everyone plenty of food. Our staff outdid themselves in the cold weather!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Reading reviews are a wonderful way to gain insight as to the interactions that we at Hostess Catering have with our clients.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Customers should think about the date and time of their event in order to check availability with a preferred caterer. Giving thought to a budget amount, along with the size and scope of their event is also very important decisions to be made early in the planning process.
