ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Sheila Sullivan
Raised in a large Irish-American family in Boston's Mission Hill neighborhood, Sheila learned the value of hard work, high standards, and the importance of bringing people together around fresh, thoughtfully prepared food. While her father's strict "farm-to-table" upbringing instilled discipline, it was her mother who taught her that exceptional meals begin with quality ingredients and genuine care.
After more than 20 years in Boston's business world, Sheila founded Seasons Catering in 2006 with a simple vision: to create a company where exceptional food, personalized service, and unwavering attention to detail are never compromised. She believed catering should be more than delivering great meals—it should be about building relationships and making every client feel valued.
Today, Sheila remains personally involved in every event, working closely with clients to ensure every detail is thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed. Whether it's a high-stakes corporate meeting, a union gathering, a wedding, or a private celebration, she and her team are committed to delivering outstanding cuisine, seamless service, and an experience that feels both professional and personal.

A Hands-On, Thoughtful Approach
No two events are the same, and we believe the process should reflect that. We take the time to understand what you are planning, who you are hosting, and how the event should feel. Some clients come to us with a clear vision. Others come to us looking for guidance on all aspects of the event, from menu planning to timing and setup. Either way, we help shape the details and make sure everything comes together the way it should.
A Woman-owned Union Catering Company
Seasons Catering is proud to be a Women Business Enterprise (WBE) certified by the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office (SDO) and a member of UNITE HERE Local 26, reflecting the company's commitment to supporting diversity, strengthening the local workforce, and upholding the highest standards of professionalism.
Focused on Making Events Easier
No two events are alike, and we believe your planning experience should be just as personalized. We take the time to understand your goals, your guests, and the atmosphere you want to create. Whether you come to us with a fully developed vision or are looking for guidance every step of the way, our team works closely with you to shape the details—from menu planning and service style to timing and logistics. Every decision is made with care so your event feels seamless, welcoming, and unmistakably yours.
