In 2017 Sweet Rellief catered our outdoor beach wedding. We had a lobsterfest that was out of this world. Grilled & boiled lobsters, grilled corn, sides, appetizers, and we added peallea which turned out to be a huge hit. If we have another event to have catered we will definately call Sweet Relief. Great service, food and value.

Eric catered our daughter's wedding reception - the food was delicious and very nicely presented, and the staff were courteous and professional. I highly recommend Eric and would certainly use him again.

Eric catered an art gallery reception of mine in Southington, and it was incredible! The thought he put into it, matching the type of food with the style of art, and putting thought behind the flow of the room, and how that would interact with the food setup. He asked questions, that I didn't think of regarding the art, and themes..things I never would have thought of.The way the food was displayed was above and beyond what I expected, and received so many compliments on how beautiful it was. Never once during the entire reception did I see an empty cup, dirty napkin, plate etc. He's an incredibly hard worker, I noticed how he didn't stop the entire event, and is an absolute master at this. Don't hesitate to use Sweet Relief!

Reception for 165 at the Overlook at Geer Tree Farm in Griswold, CT. We were a proactive couple and started planning/budgeting early. Pricing out a large dinner was an initial concern. After contacting a number of caterers (and being awe-struck by how much they were charging), Eric got back to us to set up a tasting in West Haven. In doing so, we expressed some interest in a number of his food offerings and services and told him our approximated (modest) budget. When we walked into his shop - he had a sweetheart table set up for us and he was cooking. He invited us in, introduced himself, and poured us some berry-infused ice water into our glasses. The whole tasting included many of the dishes we had expressed interest in and each was excellent - a full meal with hors d'oeuvres. We looked around a bit more, but no one offered the value that Eric and Sweet Relief had. Eric's style is very laid back - as a proactive couple with high expectations - that's something to get used to, but in the end, its what you need. From the contract, to the meal specifics, to detail planning, and set up/timeline, etc. Eric took all of the many requests in stride and kept our minds at ease. The day of went perfectly, the food and service were excellent - Eric kept saying through the whole process: "if you're happy, then I am happy." He practices what he preaches, and you can trust that if you have a vision for your wedding - Eric and his team can pull off your day. He did it for us, and I would highly recommend him for any event.

The pulled pork and chicken were delicious. The staff -- AWESOME!! Very disappointed with a few of the products and when I spoke to the owner about this he was not apologetic. I will not use them again because our health is more important than good food.

Above and beyond our expectations. Everything Eric made us was amazing and the extra attendants also did amazingly. We will absolutely use him again for any event.
We used Sweet Relief for my daughter's wedding this September. Most importantly, Eric was so easy to work with. Eric is honest, fair, communicative and easygoing. The staff was professional and friendly. Would we use them again? Absolutely!! Oh yeah, and the food...excellent!!

We booked Sweet Relief Catering for our wedding this past march 2018 and was the best choice we made! Eric was amazing to work with and was constantly reassuring me that everything would go fine, and sure enough it did! Having someone like Eric who knows the ropes and was really able to steer us in the direction of price and tasting style that we wanted was priceless. He made our wedding planning experience painless and so much easier! Now the food!! The food was excellent (we had a buffet style for 130 people with chicken piccata, ham, and plank seared salmon which was amazing!!!! I don’t even like fish and I loved it!) we got nothing but compliments about how good the food was, how lovely the tables looked, and how attentive and kind the servers were throughout the night. Sweet relief also provideded the linens for our wedding and set up our tables to look beautiful! If you’re looking for great, quality food at an amazing price then I would highly recommend visiting sweet relief for a tasting. :) We’re already planning on having Eric make us an anniversary meal next year! Honestly, If I could give them 10 stars I would!⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Eric was wonderful to work with. He was attentive, adequately assessed our needs for our nursing school gala, and was flexible with details. His staff was kind and professional at the event, and when we had a hiccup with the payment from our school, Eric was understanding and we were able to resolve it quickly. We highly recommend anybody planning an event choose Sweet Relief Catering -- you won't be disappointed!

I can not say enough good things about Sweet Relief Catering! They catered my wedding, and did a fantastic job! There was a few issues with my venue allowing an outside caterer, as they typically do not allow it, but i PUSHED for having them be part of our special day! Eric and his team not only went above and beyond, the day of the wedding, but leading up to the wedding Eric would call just to see how i was doing and make sure we were always on the same page! I can not thank them enough for making our day so special!

We looked for a caterer on the internet for our wedding and based on reviews decided to check out Sweet relief.We went down to West Haven to meet with Eric and talk about the menu. It is an unassuming building, but easy to find. Once we tasted the food Eric was preparing for us we knew we had found our guy.The day of the wedding, everything went as planned. The food was perfectly prepared and delicious. We received multiple compliments from our guests. The staff that worked the event were supremely professional; down to the detail of getting on hands and knees to clean a floor of the kitchen that was used for prep.This was an A+ for service and product; truly a diamond in the rough.Joe and Samantha Valentino
