Below are listings for recommended caterers. These are suggestions and you are not required to use these vendors if you have others in mind.
**If you plan to serve alcohol at your event, it is strongly recommended and in certain cases required that you reserve bartending services. The Beverage Authorization Team (BAT) is a very good campus resource for inexpensive bartending services. Harvard Student Agencies (HSA) is another good resource for providing this service.
