Kelli's Kitchen 

5.0

  • Starts at $55
  • Serves Essex, CT

It is our mission at Kelli’s Kitchen to provide you with a wow factor through the elegance of our food, and the excellence of our service. Kelli has been cooking for over 20 years teaching her homeschooled children and their friends how to cook a wide array of culinary delights, from simple, tasteful appetizers to mouthwatering entrees. In that time, Kelli found her joy and artistic ability through food. That same creativity and hospitality is emanated through our food and staff to create a personalized, unforgettable experience at your event.

We had Kelli’s cater our 150 person wedding. The execution by the staff was exceptional. Her food presentation is beautiful, and the taste is even better. Kelly’s industry experience was a huge plus as she was able to think of the important things for our big day. Our guests raved about the food and their experience. We have even attended two other weddings where Kelli has catered and have seen consistency, continued creativity, and have truly enjoyed how personable and professional the entire staff is.

Gourmet Galley Catering 

4.0

  • Serves Essex, CT

We love weddings. We love them big and fancy or sweet and simple. We love brides who agonize over the size of their train, their pearls and their bouquets and we love brides who call up and say, “Let’s have a clambake at my dad’s beach house!” Celebrate everything—family reunions, birthdays, bridal and baby showers, anniversaries, retirement parties and just plain why-not? parties. Whether the whole clan is getting together for a long weekend or you’re having a sit down dinner for 20 just to honor some long and beautiful friendships, let us make the party that suits you.

We had a fantastic experience with Gourmet Galley Catering for our wedding. Their communication throughout the planning process was responsive, helpful and explanatory - they patiently answered all our questions and made helpful recommendations. On the big day, they went above and beyond to make sure we and all our guests were well-fed and hydrated amidst the busyness. The quality and taste of the food was fantastic - all our guests raved about it! Everything was delicious, well-presented, and clearly made from quality ingredients. We received so many compliments on the food. Gourmet Galley's exceptional service and delicious offerings were a huge contribution to making our wedding day special and memorable. We highly recommend them for any catering needs!

I am pleased to provide feedback about Shmayleys Mobile Event Bar and Hayley Pierce. We entrusted our daughter’s wedding to Hayley’s very capable hands and could not have been happier in doing so. From the very start last year, to the culmination of the wedding last month, Hayley provided outstanding support, amazing organizational skills, countless creative ideas, honed planning skills, strong negotiating and communication skills and consummate professionalism. I would urge anyone thinking about engaging a planner to help with their wedding to engage Hayley – you will not be disappointed.

Emily's Catering was an extraordinary part of our wedding day at South Farms in Morris, CT. Rick and his team handled everything wonderfully; They were organized, prompt, responsive, enthusiastic, creative, and VERY well-priced. Because we decided not to hire a planner, it was crucial that we retain vendors who could operate self-sufficiently, and Emily's truly went above and beyond in every respect. They even accommodated serving my husband's home-brew, including making wood signs for us as a surprise. My husband and I still talk about how much we loved and appreciated them, and we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking the perfect caterer for their wedding.

As a farm-to-fork luxury catering company, we work with the highest quality, locally-sourced fresh ingredients. Together we’ve created Forks & Fingers with the idea of combining our love of food, food staging, and mixology to share our ultimate form of entertaining

Being from Australia, we briefed forks and fingers to showcase US cuisine with a hint of Aussie. They exceeded expectations. They created delicious American appetisers along with Aussie meat pies! They exceeded all expectations and the food was absolutely delicious. The raw bar was fresh and tasty also. We had such positive reviews of the food. Would recommend forks and fingers!

Sunflowers Event Planning, Inc 

5.0

  • Serves Essex, CT for additional fees

With more then 25 years experience we find that listening to every bride and or client describe what they want for their special day or event is what it takes to be successful. It's what you want not what we want. Creativity is a strong characteristic and I enjoy the final product. It's simple. When the clients are happy I know we were to their expectations and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Sunflowers Event Planning, Inc. is a fantastic wedding caterer that I highly recommend. They are incredibly detail-oriented, ensuring that every aspect of an event, from the smallest decor item to the overall flow, is executed flawlessly. They communicate clearly, are always on top of timelines, and are highly responsive to any changes or requests, which makes them a trusted partner. Their ability to seamlessly integrate our tent services with their event planning and catering is unparalleled, and we always look forward to working together. If you're looking for a dependable, thoughtful team to bring your event vision to life, Sunflowers is the way to go.
