Renegade Outpost was the perfect catering choice for our wedding. From our first interaction, her communication was clear, helpful, and incredibly kind. Chef Ellen was so considerate throughout the entire planning process, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The quality of her work was truly impeccable - the food they served was absolutely delicious, full of vibrant flavors that left our guests raving all night long. Chef Ellen is more than just a caterer, she was integral to helping us have the wedding of our dreams.

    KGFare Catering & Events

    New York, NY

      In 2008 Josh Griffiths and Peter Killy decided it was time to create without compromise. They launched KG Fare, offering fun, dynamic and memorable full-service catering and event experiences. Hospitality without the attitude. Entertaining curations that raise the bar for food and drinks.

      We enjoyed collaborating with KG Fare on our dream wedding menu. They were flexible and supportive of our wedding vision, especially during the COVID period. They spent time with us to go over every single detail from the texture and flavor of the food to safety measures to the overall set up of tables, decorations and more. Weeks leading up to our big, special event, we were in constant communication via phone and email. On the big day, Peter and Josh and the crew were super attentive to us and our guests. The food was such a hit that our guests kept talking about it for days after the event. To this day, we still crave for everything on our menu because the food was scrumptious. KG Fare's check went beyond our expectation and made sure everything we talked about during the food tasting was incorporated on the actual event! We would work with KG Fare again in any future events that requires catering! Thank you!

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.

        Fig & Pig continues to be a creative, quality-driven catering company devoted to showcasing seasonal ingredients and producing exceptional, food-focused events. Our team of professionally-trained chefs cook with dedication and pride to create thoughtful meals that are both comforting and modern. We work closely with our clients to build curated menus and distinctive settings that reflect the personality and vision of their event. At Fig & Pig, the service is as important as the food. Our front of house team drives the success of each event and they take very seriously, the needs of our guests.

        I have nothing but effusive praise for Fig & Pig! They were the best catering team imaginable for our fall wedding in the Catskills. Holly prepares truly delicious meals, with huge crowd pleasers including the heritage smoked chicken, lasagne, and the cocktail hour crab cakes. Throughout the planning process Tammy was always quick to respond, and eager to incorporate unique little twists. We had homemade cookies we wanted to serve alongside Fig & Pig's delightful sticky toffee pudding and strawberry shortcake -- and they ensured it happened seamlessly. The bartenders and waitstaff brought fantastic, upbeat energy to the party. I can't overstate how thoughtful Holly and Tammy were every step of the way. Just one example: Fig & Pig had a small tray of appetizers set out for us in a private area following the ceremony, so my husband and I could savor a brief moment alone and enjoy all of the canapes before joining our guests at cocktail hour. Fig & Pig's food is magnificent. The specialty cocktails are stunners. I would recommend this team to anyone -- they are absolutely stellar.

Their food is incredible, their staff is so professional, and they are a dream to work with on the planning side. I also have to give them MAJOR credit for being a zero waste caterer. The work that they do in the name of sustainability is inspiring and I always recommend them to my couples looking to lessen the environmental impact of their weddings.

        • Serves New York, NY

        Serving the New York area since 1991, Steven Brown Caterers provides unmatched creative cuisine, professional service and exceptional value. Our individual approach means that our couples receive the personalized and dedicated touch they deserve for their big day! Our experienced team of event planners are extremely passionate about their work. Attentive and precise, they will make your vision, big, or small into a reality.

        “In my position as the assistant to the Chairman & Founder of a Fortune 1000 company, Steven Brown Caterers is the only caterer we use. Over the years the entire company from the chefs to the wait staff, to the management have become so much more than co-workers. I count them all as friends. So, when I married Frank in 2013, there was no question about who would be coming to spoil me on that special day. The food has always been the best in the city, but food is different things to different people, so I was anxious to see if my guests enjoyed it as much as I always have. That question was answered when half of them left clutching their contact details in hand. The other half called or e-mailed later to ask me for their contact details. 😉 Of course, the food was not the only thing that went right. Everything. Went right. From the table and tabletop rentals to the wait staff doing their usual magic by making every single guest feel as if they were the only person at the party. I’m not exaggerating when I say they got as many compliments as the bride, and nothing made me happier. Peace of mind on your wedding day is a luxury not many have, but we had it and we owe that to Steven Brown Caterers.”

        The food for the wedding was even better than the tasting! It was so good and everyone that attended was super impressed. My only note is that we missed some of the cocktail hour food and dessert during the wedding - I think the day-of coordinator could have been better catering to us knowing how busy we were during the wedding. As long as all of this is explicitly planned in detail ahead of time it should be fine!

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.

Every detail was perfectly planned and executed. They dedicated a server to me and my husband for cocktails so that we could eat between chatting with guests and so our needs were met. They figured out how to do a wedding cake tower of banana pudding when we decided we didn't want a cake. I wish we could get married again so I could work with this team and eat their awesome food

          Are tastings available before booking a wedding caterer?

          Who wouldn't jump at the chance for a sneak peek—or better yet, a sneak taste—of their wedding menu? Most wedding caterers in NYC know that the way to a couple's heart is through their stomach, and they stand ready to put their best plate forward. But do check in with your caterer about how they handle tastings—some offer them before you book (often for an additional fee), while others include full course sit down tastings of their menu offerings for you to select from after you’ve signed a contract.

          What's included in the catering package price in New York City?

          Let’s start with the most important part - the food. Typically, appetizers and a full meal are included in a wedding catering package (and sometimes even the cake!), but costs depend on whether you’re looking for passed hors d'oeuvres and a seated meal with individual entrees, or more of a buffet or family-style setup. The catering package often comes with the essentials, too - think tables, chairs, linens, silverware, and a professional staff ready to cater to you and your guests’ every need. That said, there are a wide variety of catering options available, so it's best to get the lowdown from your caterer directly. Will there be extra charges for setup and takedown? How about a corkage fee? Any chance of a complimentary food truck at midnight? Ask away, because chances are the right caterer will be able to work with you and your budget to achieve your dream culinary vision for your big day.

          How far in advance do I need to finalize the menu with my caterer?

          Generally, New York City caterers appreciate a final menu selection several months in advance of your wedding, and a final headcount several weeks in advance. Why? It's all about ensuring perfection, from procuring the freshest ingredients to coordinating the kitchen staff to ensure your menu is a showstopper.
