Aiyana and Keith were amazing from being to end. I hired them as the caterers for my wedding (100ppl). Their communication was timely and professional. This is one of the reasons we chose MAHFY over other catering vendors. We were able to do a tasting, which we made it into a whole date night. It was really good. We love their food and they have such positive energy. They helped us customize our menu. All requirements on their end were met for our venue. Last minute (two weeks prior) I needed extra help with clean up and they agreed to get more staff. My event decorator raved about how helpful they were with setup. They were early and ready to go! The cocktail hour and reception food was good and we received a lot of compliments from our guest. We also hired them to bartend the wedding and drinks were great as well. Clean up was fast and to the point. All staff were helpful, kind and professional. I cannot thank MAHFY for catering my wedding and making it a memorable night for us and our guest.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having been a customer of Renegade Outpost for a few years in a row, I think of Ellen, the chef, as my winning lottery ticket that keeps on winning. Each time I find more reasons to be grateful to Ellen: her expertise, professionalism, perfect execution, and plating that's worthy of a picture in MOMA. Ellen's menu repertoire is bottomless, yet she always accommodated me with the off-the-menu choices, as requested. She not only steps in at the right moment when attention is needed, she also anticipates the need, moving like a beautiful ballerina to assist the guests. She is THE Master Chef who serves her delicious, swallow-your tongue dishes at perfect intervals and with portions that are plentiful, even for a re-heat of the leftovers the next day. Ellen never once left without leaving my kitchen spotless. She rocks!!!! Thank you, Ellen. I am honored to be your customer. Mila

We work in a variety of cuisines, from New American to Cajun to Southeast Asian; accommodate all diets, including gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian; and are proud to partner with local farms and purveyors throughout the Hudson Valley and New York City.

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Jillicious! My husband and I are major foodies so we knew we didn’t want to have standard wedding food at our reception. We started searching for wedding caterers that would work with us to customize the perfect menu for our wedding day. Jillicious did not disappoint! We worked with Chef Jill to put together the most delicious menu of both apps and main courses. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was. It honestly rivaled many of our favorite restaurants in NYC. In addition to the food, Chef Jill and her staff were amazing. They were so responsive throughout the whole wedding process and offered so many great recommendations. On the wedding day, the staff were very helpful with getting the rentals in order, setting up the tables, etc. We also had some guests thank us for how allergy conscious the wedding and staff were. We're so grateful to Jillicious for bringing our vision to life and couldn’t recommend them more! They truly contributed to an absolutely perfect wedding day!

We worked with Krisp for our wedding on September 1, 2019. We had the chance to visit their space in Brooklyn for couple rounds of amazing tastings including all kinds of appetizers, entrees, cocktail and even dessert samples. Oh man, the variety and creativity of their food is simply mind blowing! We could clearly tell that their chef always puts their clients' need at front and center of everything. During the seated dinner reception, our guests were pleasantly impressed by the food's beautiful presentation and deliciousness. They even helped us source a couple of Lady M crepe cakes for the dessert station! We didn't have to worry about anything at all throughout the event because every member of their team was so professional and efficient. Thank you to the entire team who worked so hard to make our big day so unforgettable.

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

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.

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.

I finally decided to share my love and passion for making pizza with everyone around me through my mobile business. I have been working in pizzerias since I was 14 years old, working through every position available and fine-tuning my skills to become a business owner. One of my favorite moments was tossing pizzas and making conversation with the customers who became extended family after years of serving them. Now I am bringing my love of pizza to you. I can’t wait for all of you to enjoy the “Pizza Joe on the Go” experience!

Joe was absolutely amazing! He was so easy to work with and made the entire process seamless. We hired him for the welcome event of our wedding weekend in the Catskills, and his pizza was nothing short of phenomenal—our guests couldn’t stop talking about it! Not only is Joe incredibly talented, but he’s also such a kind and reliable person. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it truly showed. Highly, highly recommend Joe for any event—he’s the best!

From my very first conversation with Chef Lemaire from Sensory Delights, I knew that they were the perfect vendors for our wedding. Sensory Delights offers a very creative menu and with very fair pricing. The whole team is highly professional; and they have a very thorough system in place to ensure a quality service. As the day approached, Neima was very helpful. She communicated with my wedding planner and also helped us tremendously the day of. As I was getting ready to walk down the aisles, Neima was helping with my dress as I was getting down the stairs. My husband and I chose the plated dinner and Let me tell you, that exceeded our expectations! Our guests kept calling after the wedding to compliment me as they were impressed with the food and services from the servers. One of the main highlights is how they made sure that my bridal party ate during the cocktails hour after the ceremony while taking our pictures. At the end of the night, they had boxed food for my husband and me for the next day. My wedding planner told me how they went the extra mile to make sure that they delivered. They exceeded our expectations. I cannot wait to work with them in the future. Thank you, Sensory Delights. You have gained a lifetime customer. Rose & Deldy

Pheasant 

5.0

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

We LOVE weddings here at Pheasant! Being entrusted with one of the most important days of a couple’s life is not something we take lightly. After all, the bridal couple may be the focus of the day, but an amazing meal and impeccable service will make the entire event that much more memorable. Our knowledgeable staff will help guide you through the decision-making process as we go through menus, table scapes, furniture, timing, bar service and more together. We also have a strong rolodex of planners and florists that we work with on a regular basis - just ask us for more info!

Working with Pheasant was the best decision we could have made for our wedding!!! Yes, it sounds cliché, but it is true. The title of this post is not even a joke; friends and family will-not-stop-talking-about-how-good-the-food-was-at-the-wedding...I'm like...hello? What about me, the bride? Our hilarious and heartfelt vows? The live band? Or even our surprise choreographed dance? Nope!! The food was the **true highlight** of the day/night. Although I may sound mad about it, I am not because it was absolutely delicious, stunning, fresh, and extremely memorable. The appetizers at cocktail hour, the raw bar, and the family style dinner was 10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Most brides and grooms don't even eat at their wedding because they are mingling...but, we had seconds and thirds with extra romesco sauce!!!! Working with Pheasant was hands down the easiest part of the whole wedding. Lola and Cat were incredibly quick to respond to emails, they went along with our requests and offered incredible suggestions. On top of all of that, they handled the rentals, collaborated with our florist and made the table setting romantic, dreamy, and very us 3 They also emotionally supported my decision when I switched event coordinators somewhat late in the game and they helped me find a better match. Lola and Cat were present and professional throughout our time together and then disappeared like fairy godmothers on the special day. They were there, because I vividly remember demanding a hug, but once the event started, they were working their magic on the backend and making sure we had the wedding of our dreams. I do not have a single complaint and I aim to be as honest as possible when writing reviews because it is what helped me make my decision when I was hiring vendors. Do yourself a favor, and hire Pheasant to cater your wedding and you and your guests can thank me later.
