{Working with Root and Stem was truly one of the highlights of our wedding planning and wedding experience. Michelle and Craig went above and beyond to make every aspect fun, from the beautiful tasting, to having them present at venue walk throughs, and the incredible, above and beyond touches they provided on the day of […]
{Root & Stem was absolutely a dream to work with from the beginning. Because I (the bride) am celiac, we needed a 100% gluten free wedding, and we needed our caterer to take it incredibly seriously. We worked with Craig, and he got it immediately. At our tasting (in June 2020), Craig confirmed again the […]

{Surpassed Expectations! We worked with Root & Stem for our wedding on 10/10/20. We decided to have a family only ceremony/dinner party at our home (backyard) with catering by Root & Stem. Craig was a dream to work with – it was easy to connect with him, he was very responsive to all our questions […]
{Craig and the rest of the Root and Stem crew did an amazing job at my wedding. Building up to the wedding, Craig was very responsive and accommodating. I planned my wedding from afar and Craig made the process as easy as possible. He cooked up some delicious food at our tasting with a wide […]
{Excellent Food and Catering! Root and Stem is an awesome company that makes delicious food. Christina was awesome to work with and very responsive. She was super helpful every step of the way!
