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.

My husband and I had our reception caterer by Chef’s Culinary Journey this past July.

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.

Don’t overthink wedding food! Go with what you know! On the border did an amazing job at my wedding, from the food to the service. I did a taco bar with chips and salsa, and it was perfect for us. They arranged delivery with my coordinator, set up tables, kept food warm and cleaned up. The food tasted fresh and honestly way better than I imagined for tacos! I decided on them based on the price, as it was a lot cheaper compared to other local catering. So I was extremely impressed with everything!
