We loved every bite, and your team of cooks and servers were nothing but graceful and accommodating. We have gained a great deal of experience catering events throughout Maine at many different venues. We have received thank you letters by mail and reviews online. We have had the pleasure of being published in print and online. Here is a sampling of those kind gestures.

Growing up in Charleston in a Greek family, delicious food has always been a priority to chef Jennifer Banis. During her work experience in high-end restaurants in Charleston, San Francisco and Portland, Jennifer worked in both the front of the house as server, dining room manager and events planner, and in the back of the house as line cook and garde manger.
Choosing a caterer for your wedding is no small decision! Taste, presentation and vibe all come together to make a memorable experience for your guests. From the start, we like to work closely with your food tastes and style to create a menu that represents you as a couple and all of the amazingness of Maine produce, seafood, cheeses and meats.
Each wedding menu we create is carefully customized to meet the specific wants and needs of our clients. Pricing will range significantly based on menu selections and the size of the wedding. The following are some sample wedding menus. Meslcun with julienned carrots, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, watermelon radish, aged balsamic vinaigrette.
We provide licensed and insured bar service for the weddings and events we cater. If you are in need of event or wedding bartenders or have any questions about putting together a bar menu, let us know. We are happy to help! There are so many great local craft breweries in Maine and we are fortunate to be able to serve them up for you.
Nothing says "Maine Coast Wedding" more than seafood and nothing says "Fresh Caught" like a raw bar. A raw bar is the ultimate in decadence for your wedding guests. Friends and family from far and wide can experience the taste of fresh Maine seafood, such as, raw oysters and clams and cooked options, such as, lobsters tails, crab claws and shrimp.

Jennifer, Ian, and the entire team at 111 Maine Catering are consummate professionals. From the initial request for a quote, to the tasting, to the day of coordination, I was truly amazed at the level of professionalism and drive this team has. Jennifer and Ian worked tirelessly to ensure that we got exactly what we envisioned. The raw bar, the poutine bar, and the charcuterie were all top notch. One of the biggest issues I have with weddings today is the lack of GOOD FOOD. It is such a simple thing, you would think, but I have been to countless events where the food was just meh! The food at our

111 Maine was the caterer for our wedding. They worked with us as we navigated COVID cancellations and multiple reschedules. Jennifer helped us select our menu which turned out to be incredibly delicious. She and her husband also set our tables and cleaned everything up after the wedding. Truly unparalleled service and professionalism. I would recommend them to anyone.

We had a unique vision for our food on our wedding day and Jennifer and her team brought it to life! Instead of a formal seated dinner, we wanted all our favorite appetizers served all night! Not to mention our incredible crepe bar made hot and fresh by Jennifer! The 111 team went above and beyond to make our entire wedding guests and vendors, feel like one big family on our wedding day - which is exactly what we wanted!
We will forever be craving your chicken & waffles, late night garlic knots, and lobster rolls forever! Thank you for making our day so special.

Everything about our experience with Jennifer and her expert team at 111 Maine was outstanding. From the beginning, the menu planning process was thoughtful and Jennifer was very accommodating of our requests as well as offering great suggestions. Every dish was delicious and memorable. The goat cheese ravioli with Makers Mark cream made a huge impression on our guests. We were particularly impressed that the food was served piping hot despite being prepared outdoors in October. We would recommend 111 Maine without reservation.

Based on positive online reviews, I contacted 111 about catering my wedding next summer. Initially, they were great and easy to work with. They assured me that my date was available and we went back and forth on menu revisions for a couple months. Just as we were ready to sign a contract and submit a deposit, they abruptly emailed me to tell me they had booked another client for that date with no explanation or apology. There was no warning and we had been discussing and revising my wedding menu for the two months preceding with every indication that they would be our wedding caterer. I would have
