I absolutely loved working with Tasha and her team! We had our wedding at a rustic barn venue that did not have a kitchen, but Tasha was able to put together the perfect buffet setup that worked for us. She was very mindful of our budget, and was very helpful throughout the entire process. She came up with a delicious menu that went with our bbq theme, and the signature cocktails at our bar were a huge hit. Our guests gave me so many compliments about everything, and I am grateful that we had Tasha and her team there to make our wedding as special as it was.

Upohar was terrific, from the tasting to the wedding day; they were easy to communicate with and provided clear invoices with all information included. They had so many food options that we had trouble choosing our favorites. We loved having the food truck for our guests to pick up appetizers (samosas/empanadas) during cocktail hour and their entrees during the reception. All the food was served hot, and on the bamboo plates I requested. We even had plenty of leftovers to eat with friends for several days after the event. All the food was wonderful, but we especially highly recommend the beef empanadas and pollo asado entree. Don't hesitate to book Upohar for your event; they were a foodie's dream!

Hudson Table 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Reading, PA

Hudson Table is a culinary studio located in the heart of Northern Liberties in Philadelphia. We offer everything from cooking classes, to live chef competitions, to bespoke private catered events. Our catering department provides each guest with an extraordinary and memorable experience with a focus on impeccable service, chef-curated seasonal menus, and full customizability to exceed your expectations.

Hudson Table and its staff are a hidden gem for your wedding or special event. We hosted our rehearsal dinner for 45 people at Hudson Table in June 2022. Anne, Chef Doug, Christine and their staff were so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. Chef Doug crafted an amazing menu that catered to our large group and honored several dietary restrictions including vegans and nut allergies. Hudson Table is also BYO which helps keep an event like this within budget. The price point is so reasonable: we looked into numerous options and you cannot feed a group of 45 at this price point at any other venue in the city, and few others can accommodate this large a group. We opted for the additional barending staff and definitely recommend it, they were so helpful and the price was on-budget and elevated the event. Upon arrival, I was thrilled to see the space set up with table runners, and our event manager Christine had an eye for the space and helped us arrange our candles tastefully on some beautiful plateware she had on-site and set up the tables with pops of colored poetry. Hudson Table also has some outdoor seating which is great for a large event like ours, so we had run over into the outdoor space for seating, and Christine decorated those tales with some greenery. The photos from the outdoor space are STUNNING. Christine our event manager kept us on time and checked in with me and my groom frequently to make sure we were eating and to alert us when it was time for toasts, and when we're ready to clean up. Chef Doug also made sure we were eating while entertaining, and checked in about the quality of the food. The portions are generous, and even with 45 people we had leftovers. Hudson packaged the leftovers for us and our guests to take home which was such a pleasant surprise. My groom and I received so many compliments from our guests about the food and the space and were told it was one of the most fun rehearsal dinners they've ever attended. If you are looking for a casual, friendly environment where you can mingle with guests and eat to die-for food, honestly look no further.
