We hired Keith and Aiyana to cater a small meeting for church workers. I recommended using them because of great service in the past. This catering couple are always friendly and professional. The food arrived when expected and ready to serve. Everyone raved about the meatballs and all the food was delicious. I only wish I'd ordered more because it all went so quick even though there were other dishes to choose. I particularly like that many of their menu items are unique and you can customize some things if you want.

Chef’s Culinary Journey, never in my life have I had food this good. The food was out of this world, we loved the organic farm-to-chefs-to-plate concept.

If I had to go back and re-plan my wedding, the first thing I would do is book Chef’s Culinary Journey again. They’ve been awesome collaborators and contributors in helping us realize our vision.

We are all about our handcrafted kitchen. From soups to dressings, sauces to desserts, we handcraft menus bringing together flavor and culture, in recipes, old and new. We are passionately committed to offering the freshest ingredients available and love to source local when our season allows.

My husband and I recently had our wedding on May 18th 2023 at The Conservatory at the Sussex County Fairgrounds. Krave caterers was one of their preferred vendors. I went to a wedding here before and Krave was catering and remember how AMAZING cocktail hour and reception were! I was so excited to use them as our catering and events vendor. From the beginning Kate and everyone who worked at Krave were nothing but amazing. At first I was nervous to use so many vendors and upkeep communication with everyone but it was totally worth it. Kate was truly the sweetest and most professional person. It was so easy to communicate with her and any last minute changes I needed she was able to assist. She took her time to get to know us and our vision for the day whether it was from food tasting to decor. The day of our wedding she was there alongside us asking if we needed anything. She did an amazing job coordinating the flow of the night. The food was just amazing! I have been to so many weddings and I can truly say that Krave puts in so much passion and love into their food. We got so many great compliments about the food and service! Knowing how busy my husband and I would be she brought us cocktail hour food to our bridal suite to make sure we got to eat and also packed us up soooo much food! We were able to eat leftovers for the next two days. They truly made our wedding day so special! We loved working with Kate and her Krave team. I highly recommend their catering services not only for weddings but other events!

To start let me say I've been in the food industry for a long time a good portion of that being in the carering/wedding industry, and coming from experience i knew how stressful planning a wedding would be. My wife and I decided to go without a planner and do it ourselves. I have known Georgio for many years and when it came time to plan the wedding there was no question on who I was having cater the event. I've always known him to be very adventurous and passionate about his craft but never to the extent that he generously showed my wife and I. Georgio and his team guided my wife and I through all stages of the process with ease and made us feel as comfortable as possible during the planning. Now the event itself was truly outstanding, he and his staff were so professional, hard working and meticulous. When it comes to a wedding your guest will forever remember two things the music and the food, now my music was absolute top notch the food stole the show. A family style feast was prepared for my guest and let me tell you I'm still getting calls and messages about the food. So to sum it all up LuShe'ann catering should be at the number one spot on your list for future events.

We had On the Border cater for our wedding, and I highly recommend them!! The servers arrived early to deliver, set up, serve, and tear down the food. Our guests loved the steak & chicken fajitas, queso, chips & salsa, rice, beans, drinks, and sopapillas. We had 100 guests, and the pricing for On the Border was reasonable for the delicious food. Lisa Wood was our catering sales associate, and she was extremely helpful! The entire wedding planning process is stressful, but she was always available to answer questions, and made numerous changes to our order/contract based on my requests.

Constellation is the caterer for numerous venues throughout the Philadelphia area, with unique locations from raw industrial spaces and lively concert halls to historic houses and iconic museums, and also offers in-home and office catering. Our dedicated team forms strong connections both inside our organization and with our clients, and these connections define us. Together, we bring restaurant-quality outside of restaurants, serving everything from intimate weddings to non-profit galas. We’ve built a culinary group that does what restaurants always have: get people talking—and daydreaming—about food, long after their last bite.

When we signed on with Constellation to cater our wedding, we had high expectations based on their stellar reputation alone, and they far exceeded our expectations on every level. During the year-long planning process, Brittany and her team were wonderful to work with; they were responsive from start to finish and very accomodating of our requests to ensure everything matched our vision from rentals to service to food. We had a backyard wedding so food service was anything but standard. They were flexible and nimble enough to service out of a barn (!) and a garage and somehow pulled it all off without a hitch. And, of course, the food was incredible. The cocktail hour spread with passed hors d'oeuvres and stations was a showstopper and I'm still dreaming about (and trying to emulate) our beautiful dual entree. Thank you to Brittany and the entire Constellation team for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Elizabeth, NJ

Starting their careers in the restaurant and food industry, Elie & Heidi Hanna decided to utilize their unique experiences and create their own vision of a full service event company. La Mila is named after their daughter, Milana, who provides them with limitless inspiration and motivation.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a classically trained chef, I hope my review of La Mila inspires anyone doing their “homework” to earn an A — for themselves, especially their guests. I’ve been to many weddings, and the food served is often an edible afterthought. How many times, when leaving a wedding, were you asked, “What did you think about the food?” — and you replied with shrugged shoulders, “Eh, it was okay.” That is not the case with La Mila. A huge shoutout and thank you to Sandy, who was able to pull together a phenomenal menu all in a very timely timeline. Sandy was honest, upfront, and available around our busy work schedule. The day before and the day of, Sandy was there to help with setup — from the big asks, like helping move furniture, to the small tasks—like lighting lanterns and ensuring no glass of champagne for our toast was served empty! Given our wedding took place at our home, we thoroughly appreciated Sandy staying late to clean the kitchen, empty overflowing garbage, and make sure our home was not a war zone when we woke up the next morning! Elie’s execution of our menu was stellar. As a classically trained chef, I was thoroughly impressed by the well-run machine Elie could create within our garage, the makeshift kitchen for the event. It rained on our wedding day, and we were blessed with a beautiful, vivid rainbow—right before dinner service. This blessing brought all our guests outside for 30 minutes—right before dinner. A major wrench in the moment-by-moment timeline. I know how this, for many chefs, can be a disruptive, unexpected delay—but Elie did not miss a beat. All of our guests raved about the food—notably friends who I graduated with from the Culinary Institute of America. One thing I learned in culinary school is that you “eat with your eyes first.” Simply put, Heidi’s presentation skills are on point! Her attention to detail in creating beautiful food displays, notably for our cocktail hour, showed the care, thought and love we wanted our guests to feel. Sandy, Elie, and Heidi may be the stars of La Mila’s show—but the success of our wedding would not have been possible without their hard-working and friendly staff. One of the elements that sold us on choosing La Mila, was their well-stocked arsenal of kitchen equipment they brought on site. (Most caterers require you rent equipment separately, which is not only more expensive, but introduces a whole new dimension of moving parts.) La Mila was also able to include chinaware, silverware, and the majority of our glassware! They even included soft drinks, water, condiments, cocktail napkins, etc. — all of this, and they still came in under what we were quoted by other caterers. Thank you, Sandy, Elie, Heidi, and the entire La Mila Catering & Events team, for making our wedding day what it was. Your talent, professionalism, and experience were felt by everyone who took part in our special day.
