From another vendors prospective Carey and the Haute Feast team are a dream to work with. The food from start to finish is always on point. Carey is incredibly friendly and 100% professional as is her entire team. The food is devine and their presentation is too! Their clients rave about the food, drinks and service.

Shore Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Ocean, NJ

5-Star Full-Service Catering from casual to elegant for all occasions since 1988. We offer packages for all occasions such as wedding receptions, lobster clambakes, bbq picnics, beach parties, showers, anniversaries, and so much more. Our team will assist you from start to finish, planning your menu, coordinating rentals, linen colors, floorplans, timelines, vendor referrals, private tastings and so much more. We bring our catering services to all corners of New Jersey and will also assist you in trying to find the perfect venue to suit your event's needs. Shore Catering can help make your event a memorable occasion.

When we tasted the food we knew that our guests would be happy with our selection of shore catering (and we were right! We recieved many compliments on the dinner and hors d'oeuvres). What we DIDN'T realize is that we were receiving more than just a catering service- we were receiving what felt like a warm welcome into a family business that took some of the stress out of the wedding planning process! Shore was the only caterer we encountered that was willing to work within our budget, and individually tailor a package to meet our needs, allowing us to feel comfortable financially without feeling like we were sacrificing ANY of the quality and elegance that we wanted for our wedding! Moreover, on the day of our wedding, summer took care of us as though we were her oldest friends, meeting us with so much genuine warmth and a contagious smile. She made sure we were able to actually eat and drink (which so many of our friends told us would be difficult to do at our wedding!) and kept the vibe HIGH even in spite of pouring rain and floods on the day of the event! We wish we could get married again and again and we would hire Shore Catering every single time!! I HIGHLY recommend Shore Catering to any bride and groom who want all of the quality with none of the stress!

Merri-Makers Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Ocean, NJ

Our story begins in 1978 with Rick Bott, a lifetime resident of Monmouth County and recent graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, at the inception of his career at his small storefront in Red Bank, NJ. At that little shop on Monmouth Street, Rick meets Cindy, his partner in business and in life. Over the past 40 years, Rick and Cindy have had the privilege of catering over 6,000 unique and custom weddings, nurtured four children (and one grandchild!), and have led Merri-Makers to become one of the distinguished caterers in the country.

MIYC is an absolute DREAM. Gianna is incredible at her job. Her and her team went above and beyond all day and all the days leading up to the wedding. When we toured Mallard, aside from loving the venue, we loved Gianna!! She was extremely patient with all my questions (and there were a lot), putting us completely at ease that our day would be seamless. Her and her team did such an amazing job making sure everything is on schedule down to the very minute. They are truly experts in their field and made sure us and our parents were taken care of the entire day. Not to mention you get the entire estate – we had our bridal party stay in the suits upstairs so the party could keep going! MIYC’s catering is MerriMakers who is also out of this world. So many of our guests raved about all the food, especially the cocktail hour. If you’re a sushi lover - SPLURGE FOR THE SUSHI. The display was incredible and the freshness was out of this world.

Roxanne, the Bridal Specialist, through foodwerx was absolutely amazing. Prior to the day-of she was organized, extremely communicative, and really helped guide us in the right direction in terms of food choices, decorations, and timeline. She gets started with documents and planning very early, which I absolutely loved. It really helped us shape what me and my fiance wanted the day to look like. Roxanne gave her own input, which I also love, because she's the professional and does this all year round! Each time I had a call with Roxanne, she would give little 'pearls of wedding wisdom' which were amazing tips/tricks that she's picked up through her experience. Day-of, everything was SO smooth because of Roxanne, she handled all the decorations and vendors and was there for my fiance and I with anything we could possibly need. Photos, food, drinks, you name it. She helped wrangle family for toasts, entrances, dances, etc. On top of all of that, the food was AMAZING! All our guests raved about the food at the cocktail hour and the pumpkin ravioli at dinner. After the wedding, Roxanne followed-up to ensure we were happy and had the best time, and she also sent photos that she took throughout the day to me (and my Dad). So incredibly grateful for Roxanne.
