Frequently asked questions
Planning a wedding caterer in Boston

How does Lazo rank wedding caterers in Boston?
Rankings come from the Lazo Score — verified reviews weighted for recency — and are never sold. Vendors without verified reviews yet start at the community baseline of 65 and earn their score as verified reviews arrive.
