What Everyone is Saying About BeyLoved Pairings

Eduardo G.

“Absolutely unique experience where you get to eat amazing food paired with beers or ciders that are simply perfect. Even if it is not a beer or cider you would typically drink, Joanne does an amazing job pairing them with food that makes it an absolutely enjoyable experience. Apart from the amazing food and drinks, you get to learn about different cultures and cuisines and the history behind every pairing. All that, combined with spending time with amazing people, makes BeyLoved Pairings Events a MUST GO!”
Jacqueline M.

“The great company, stunning décor, and culinary masterpieces made the experience incredibly special and memorable. The Indian music in the background brought back childhood memories of watching Bollywood films, and the relaxed ambiance in the room was simply beautiful.”
Megan Guerin

“I absolutely love attending Joanne’s Beer & Food Pairing events! I’m amazed by the variety of delicious cuisines she showcases, each paired perfectly with hand-selected beers that enhance the flavors. Joanne’s Cicerone® and culinary expertise shines through in every pairing. The excellent service and inviting atmosphere make the experience even more enjoyable. I love that she collaborates with local chefs, supporting the community and highlighting the best of what our area has to offer!”
Todd DiMatteo, Owner & Head Brewer, Good Word Brewing & Public House

“At Good Word we have been hosting beer dinners for our private guests for close to a decade; doing about 9 each year. They are always fun. When I had the opportunity to work with BeyLoved Pairings to elevate them I jumped at the chance. Joanne made the evening more inviting, more intimate, and truly more memorable for our guests, and we’re looking forward to working with her again.”
Kati Barnes

“BeyLoved Pairings put on an extraordinary event that was well organized, interactive and eye-opening! This was truly a divine experience that gave me an immense appreciation for food and beer pairings. I cannot wait for the next one!"
George Albury

"Each event has been amazing in ways that introduce us to cuisines we have never experienced along with the best beer styles to enhance the flavors of both the beer and the food. Joanne’s ability to coordinate with the chefs in the area to then come up with a theme gives them the exposure and the ability to create the magic. She then uses her skills as a Cicerone to find local beers to pair with these fresh cuisines, making it an unforgettable experience for the attendees at these events."
John LoScalzo. Owner, LoKo Cuisine
