Our Story
A Story Seasoned by Experience
Wildfire Catering was born from a love of travel, food, and hospitality. Our founders have worked in kitchens around the world, but their hearts have always been in New England. This is the journey that led to a catering company unlike any other.
Early Inspirations
Childhoods Rich with Flavor
David Goldstone’s upbringing in New York City introduced him to global cuisine early on, while Bryan McConnaughey’s roots in agriculture and farming instilled a deep respect for fresh, honest ingredients. Both grew up surrounded by families who valued travel and shared meals.
Culinary Education & Travels
Sharpening Skills Around the World
The journey continued in Switzerland, where both chefs trained at the Swiss Hotel Association in Bluche-Crans Montana. From there, they worked in Prague, Austria, Interlaken, Zurich, New York, Orlando, and Charlotte—gaining insight from top-tier kitchens and world-class events including the Oscars and the Olympics.
Forming Wildfire Catering
Bringing It All Back to New England
With years of experience under their belts, David and Bryan returned to New England to launch Wildfire Catering. Their goal? To merge international caliber service with a warm, local approach. Since 2009, that goal has remained their driving force.
Legacy & Future Vision
Proud Past, Bold Future
From private parties to prestigious institutions, Wildfire Catering continues to grow its presence across New England. As the company expands, the founding philosophy stays the same: deliver excellence, exceed expectations, and create culinary moments that last.
