Awarded Best of Zola
First off let me say thanks to Chef’s Culinary Journey for an AMAZING wedding. Paul was very punctual, a professional at his craft, very friendly and easy to work with. I seriously could not have asked for a better catering company service for my wedding. He made me feel comfortable and relax to the point I was a guest at my own wedding and he was the host. Really. How did he do that? The food, yes, the food was a hit. All of my guests raved and complimented not only the presentation, taste, taste, and how delicious the food taste. This went on throughout the night. I have nothing but LOVE for Chef’s Culinary Journey. I would unquestionably work with Chef’s Culinary Journey again for my next celebration (hint, hint: Baby Shower) and I’m recommending them to everyone I know for they event

We booked the Culinary Curate for an intimate buffet style wedding celebration this summer. No rainy weather could have ruined the experience.

Ryan Brown Catering 

5.0

  • Serves South Orange, NJ

Established in Brooklyn in 2004, Ryan Brown Catering New York is a full-service catering company specializing in farm-to-table, New American cuisine. We use the best, locally sourced ingredients to craft a menu from organic produce, grass-fed beef, and sustainable fish and poultry from farms and purveyors we know and trust. We coordinate all staffing and rental orders for our events, which include weddings, engagement parties, corporate events, bar and bat mitzvahs, cocktail and holiday parties, and intimate dinners. We are a preferred caterer at more than two dozen esteemed NYC-area venues.

You don't realize it, but you do a TON of work with your catering, starting with the food itself, but you also have to work with them on things like rental furniture and the day-of schedule. You end up interacting with this vendor the most, and I was super glad we had Patty who was easy to work with and super organized every step of the way. She was so flexible and even biked across the city to meet us a couple times! Also the food was fantastic. We had so many amazing options to choose from, and it was hard to narrow down. But they also made sure that our selects made sense. We had two potato dishes, and they double checked that was on purpose. It was! :) We love potatoes. Also, the staff on the day-of was super professional and so nice to our guests! Everything was perfect!

While looks are important, for the actual product (food and delivery) to be such high quality is very rare and they always deliver. Alex has amazing taste and styling skills when it comes to design details. She is extremely professional to work with and her team is super friendly and reliable. AD Catering is truly unique from any catering and planning service I have ever worked with before and anyone would be so lucky to work with them!!

ONTHEMARC Catered Events 

5.0

  • Serves South Orange, NJ

OnTheMarc is a contemporary, full-service caterer with extensive experience in off-site catered events. Marc Weber and his team of Chefs, Event Coordinators and Managers bring an ardent passion for food and service to each and every event. Seasonal, bespoke menus are OnTheMarc’s signature foundation for an inspired and impressive gastronomic experience.

As soon as we visited On the Marc for our food tasting, we knew that the food would be fantastic—and more on that in a minute—but OTM really set itself apart with the service. They greeted our guests with flavored waters when they arrived (hugely helpful for a mid-summer wedding), had servers ready with drinks and food as soon as cocktail hour started, prepared an appetizer platter for a quick private moment as newlyweds, and much much more. A few things stick out over all though: first, the servers were so attentive that they realized a friend of mine was absolutely smashing one of the appetizers and kept bringing those to her (even learning to take the mint leaf off as she did). Second, they rolled with the punches as we realized we may have screwed up some food placards, accommodating our request to check with each guest to make sure we had it right. Third, they had servers march out all at the same time to bring courses during dinner services, a super-professional touch which gave the service a white-glove-service feel. The food was delicious, and everyone kept commenting on it (even on the dance floor where they brought desserts!!). Overall, the food was amazing, the only thing better than the food was the service, and we highly recommend OTM to anyone considering them!

Pheasant 

5.0

  • Serves South Orange, NJ

We LOVE weddings here at Pheasant! Being entrusted with one of the most important days of a couple’s life is not something we take lightly. After all, the bridal couple may be the focus of the day, but an amazing meal and impeccable service will make the entire event that much more memorable. Our knowledgeable staff will help guide you through the decision-making process as we go through menus, table scapes, furniture, timing, bar service and more together. We also have a strong rolodex of planners and florists that we work with on a regular basis - just ask us for more info!

Working with Pheasant was the best decision we could have made for our wedding!!! Yes, it sounds cliché, but it is true. The title of this post is not even a joke; friends and family will-not-stop-talking-about-how-good-the-food-was-at-the-wedding...I'm like...hello? What about me, the bride? Our hilarious and heartfelt vows? The live band? Or even our surprise choreographed dance? Nope!! The food was the **true highlight** of the day/night. Although I may sound mad about it, I am not because it was absolutely delicious, stunning, fresh, and extremely memorable. The appetizers at cocktail hour, the raw bar, and the family style dinner was 10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Most brides and grooms don't even eat at their wedding because they are mingling...but, we had seconds and thirds with extra romesco sauce!!!! Working with Pheasant was hands down the easiest part of the whole wedding. Lola and Cat were incredibly quick to respond to emails, they went along with our requests and offered incredible suggestions. On top of all of that, they handled the rentals, collaborated with our florist and made the table setting romantic, dreamy, and very us 3 They also emotionally supported my decision when I switched event coordinators somewhat late in the game and they helped me find a better match. Lola and Cat were present and professional throughout our time together and then disappeared like fairy godmothers on the special day. They were there, because I vividly remember demanding a hug, but once the event started, they were working their magic on the backend and making sure we had the wedding of our dreams. I do not have a single complaint and I aim to be as honest as possible when writing reviews because it is what helped me make my decision when I was hiring vendors. Do yourself a favor, and hire Pheasant to cater your wedding and you and your guests can thank me later.
