Our guests raved about the food and the entire team was so kind. Everything looked as beautiful as it tasted great. I wanted to emphasize that nothing would have been possible without Jordan, she was so lovely and professional. Truly you were one of the most professional people I've ever worked with and for that I'm so enormously grateful and Tuomas is as well. I will never cease singing your praises.

Amby, you and your team were truly incredible from start to finish. We really appreciate all of the front end legwork that you did- from helping us to get a general framework, several modifications, visiting peak with us, to last minute revisions, you were incredibly helpful. Your attention to detail throughout the entire process blew us away - you are so talented. The day of the wedding you and your team consistently went above and beyond and made sure every detail of the wedding was perfect. The staff was sweet and cordial and fun- we can tell that they truly enjoy working for you. We cannot thank you enough, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with you. You guys will be the first we call for any future events.

WHY CHOOSE JOHNNY BURKE CATERING FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT

Quality is at heart of everything we do.

Fully Customized Experiences

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all catering. Instead of offering pre-set packages, we dedicate our time to understanding your vision and creating a completely unique experience tailored to you. From intimate dinners for two to corporate events for thousands, every detail is crafted specifically for your celebration.

Local & Sustainable Ingredients

Our commitment to quality is uncompromised. We source the finest local organic produce whenever possible and partner with sustainable ranches for our poultry and meat. This dedication to premium, responsibly-sourced ingredients ensures every dish exceeds your expectations while supporting our local community.

Excellence in Every Detail

We demand excellence in everything we do – from the initial planning process and venue site visits to training each team member. No matter your event size, we refuse to settle for mediocrity. Our full-service approach means every aspect of your event will be nothing short of spectacular.

    We’re the preferred caterer at 25+ premium venues across Greater Boston

    We cater weddings, corporate functions, private gatherings, birthdays, and holiday celebrations throughout the Greater Boston area. From intimate dinners to large-scale events, we offer full-service catering with chefs, servers, bartenders, setup, and cleanup—or drop-off service for simpler occasions. We also coordinate rentals, décor, and vendor partnerships to deliver a seamless experience from start to finish.

    Absolutely. Every event is unique, so we create custom menus that match your theme, taste, and dietary preferences. Whether you’re planning a formal plated dinner, a casual buffet, or interactive stations, we can adapt your menu to include vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, or allergy-sensitive options, all made with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.

    Our proposals include everything you’ll need—food, labor, rentals, bar service, and more—with transparent pricing and no hidden costs. A non-refundable deposit secures your date, and the remaining balance is typically due 7–14 days before the event. We’ll walk you through your proposal so you know exactly what’s covered.

    We recommend booking 6–8 weeks in advance for smaller events and 6–12 months ahead for weddings or peak-season celebrations. We cater at homes, offices, outdoor spaces, and event venues across Boston. As part of our full-service approach, we handle setup, service, and cleanup, and we’ll coordinate directly with your venue or vendors to ensure everything runs smoothly. However, our strong team is able to work efficiently to execute last-minute events, so we always encourage you to reach out to check availability.

    Yes! We provide complete bar service packages, including licensed bartenders, alcohol and non -alcohol bar menus, mixers, signature cocktails and bar setups. We can also elevate your beverage offerings by offering  hot beverages and infused waters – perfect for both weddings and corporate gatherings.
