La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Parlin, NJ

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.

Chef Ellen and her team did an outstanding job executing our office party for 125 guests. We had a fall themed menu (including Apple Pie Fried Ravioli & Grilled Mushroom w/ Sausage Gorgonzola Mascarpone! YUM!) and Chef Ellen made it extra special by dressing the room with fall florals, chalkboard signs & wooden boxes for elevation. Her staff was very professional (shout to Tom, whose Hospitality went a long way!). We will definitely look forward to having Chef Ellen & her team back at our office in the future!

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!

Whether you’re planning a wedding, bar mitzvah, sweet sixteen, graduation party, special birthday, anniversary, shower or a corporate event, foodwerx will meet your highest standards.

Alyssa and the team at Foodwerx could NOT have been more helpful in my desperate time of need. My husband and I decided to postpone our original big wedding plans for a small, intimate wedding in my parents backyard. Having worked professionally with Foodwerx in the past, I reached out to Alyssa; not only did they create a custom menu (matching exactly what we had originally planned), but at great pricing. She offered to handle all of the rentals as well, but I decided to do that on my own. I’m not going to lie, I was not very excited for this plan and stressing out every day. Little did I know, it was exactly what I wanted. The food was amazing (if you are debating on getting crab cakes... just do it, they were incredible), the displays were amazing, and the service was even better! A huge thank you to Alyssa, Nick, and the Foodwerx team for making our wedding the most perfect day!! :)

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!

We found The Backyard Bar Co through a vendor recommendation and were so glad we did! Brittany and Candice were responsive to our inquiry and so easy to talk with. Brittany helped put us at ease and from our first phone consultation we knew we were in good hands but could not have imagined just how wonderful it was to work with them. Brittany and Candice are both wonderfully personable yet also highly knowledgeable and professional. They worked with us through phone calls, email and a tasting night to create a bar menu that let our tastes and interests shine through. The menu also brought their considerable experience and love every step of the way using top notch ingredients including homemade lavender simple syrup, in house dried citrus garnishes, luxardo cherries and environmentally considerate serving ware. We had a group chat going the week of the wedding that helped us feel excited and cared for on our day. There were a lot of last minute headaches that we had to sort through and these ladies were joy and sanity in a head spinning time. Weeks after, many guests are still raving about how sweet they both were and what awesome drinks they made. They truly helped make our wedding day the best it could be.
