    Amazing food for our wedding and in budget

    Epicurean Delight did an amazing job for our wedding. Their food was fantastic and our guests told me for days after how much they enjoyed all of the food. I found the team super responsive and easy to talk to. I was very clear on what my budget was and they gave me many different options to fit inside my budget. I highly recommend for all event needs.

    The best wedding food we've ever had!

    We chose our wedding date based on when Epicurean was available to cater it, and it was 100% worth it! We had the BBQ station, salad station, and s'mores (over a campfire) and pie to end the night. All of our guests said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. It was so delicious (yes we ate EVERYTHING), the presentation was incredible (hence the beautiful photos), and their staff are just phenomenal. They provided a bartender for us, and worked with us to create our 3 signature drinks, which were amazing! They were also wonderful to work with, and they ensured that we had everything that we wanted in terms of menu, layout, and staffing for our backyard wedding. They always responded to us so quickly (shoutout to Gavin!!), and answered any questions/concerns that we had throughout the planning process. Cannot recommend them enough!

    Fantastic food and amazing service

    Epicurean was a top notch catering team for our wedding. Everyone raved about the hors d'oeuvres -- we're still dreaming about those pierogies and bacon wrapped scallops. Throughout the planning process they were incredibly kind and flexible, especially as we were planning from the other side of the country. Truthfully, food wasn't our number 1 priority for our wedding day, but the experience we had with Epicurean left people thinking that it was. If you want good food, service, and affordability - go with this team!!

    Epicurean Delight Crushed It!

    Epicurean Delight is rated five stars for a reason. Their food is out of this world and puts any wedding reception meal to shame. You can tell that they have passion for their craft not only in taste, but in the plating. Their attention detail is far beyond any catering service I have encountered. They go as far to set up on site and cook fresh for the event. Everyone raved about the food - from cocktail hour to dessert. Michelle and Patrick are extremely friendly people who are flexible and care very much about making your wedding day a special one. I hands down recommend Epicurean Delight.

    Couldn't have been more impressed!

    We gave Epicurean delight quite the job-- cook for 160 New Yorkers in the middle of the woods-- and they delivered way beyond what I could have ever imagined! From the start, they were easy to work with, the tasting day was *so* fun and a private, curated experience where they were very receptive to feedback, and they made a custom menu with lots of dietary restrictions. They brought an auxiliary kitchen and prepared the food in a way that was timely and delicious with unexpected flavors. They truly were the quality of a very high end restaurant. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for really sophisticated, modern, and delicious catering experience. They truly can do it all.

    Amazing food!!!

    We did drop off catering for my micro wedding in the Poconos 7/25/2020. There is an awesome selection of food to pick from, and I thought the price very reasonable for the quantity and quality of food. Everything was delicious and presented in a beautiful way! Carla gave great directions on how to heat everything up and was very nice (we wanted minimal in person interaction because of Covid). People were raving about the food - both the appetizers and entrees! Highly recommend Epicurean Delight Catering!!!

    WOW FACTOR ~ Amazing staff, delectable meals, lovingly prepared with an amazing presentation

    There's not a lot that we can say about Epicurean Delight that hasn't already been captured in their existing reviews. They create mouthwatering delectable meals, lovingly prepared, with an amazing presentation that will have you and guests saying "wow" for all the right reasons. We knew from our first tasting that we could trust the Epicurean Delight team to create a unique custom menu for our wedding and all throughout they were an absolute delight to work with. Our tasting was personal and intimate, not at all rushed. We got to try a variety of appetizers and entrees, all of with unique tastes and flavors that exceeded our wildest expectations. We were so excited to work with Epicurean that aside from our reception dinner, we also trusted them with our rehearsal dinner, bar tending, and even our wedding cake! If you are looking for a truly unique menu that will have you and your guests reminiscing long after your wedding, we promise you won't be disappointed with Epicurean Delight.

    On a personal note - The quality of the food, professionalism, responsiveness aside - we wanted to share something that in the grand scheme of things was probably a very small gesture but was one of the most important moments of our wedding day. The groom's late grandmother had a fig tree outside of her house in New York, and much of her family would be present at the wedding. We had thought it'd be symbolic to garnish our wedding cake with figs. We shared some inspirational photos with Epicurean Delight, and while they were excited to create the chocolate drip and the gold leaf, they warned that figs may be difficult because they are usually out of season in the winter.

    When we saw our cake for the first time, it was absolutely beautiful. Then we noticed, there on top, a beautiful fig. Then more figs scattered about. They were able to accommodate this and it made for such a special moment on our wedding day that we will always cherish. Thank you Epicurean Delight.

    10/10 Recommend!!

    My husband and I are so incredibly thankful for the staff at Epicurean for being such a huge part of our amazing wedding day! Our guests were constantly coming up to us raving about how wonderful the food was. Usually, the bride and groom don’t eat much food on their wedding day, I think we were the exception! The staff was phenomenal in making sure we were taken care of, we got a little bit of every single part of the food spread, including the appetizers. The way the food was presented and laid out was absolutely beautiful and the cake itself was just as pretty as it was delicious! Carla and her team were so easy to talk to and plan with, I would recommend Epicurean to everyone! Thank you again so much for making our day even that much more meaningful💕

    Thanks so much for choosing us to make your day special. We loved being a part of your day. All of your guests were so nice and we really enjoyed making everyone smile.

    Unbelievably delicious

    This review is not going to do Epicurean Delights justice. Carla deserves an endless amount of praise for my frequent emails with questions and changes throughout our wedding planning. We actually did two tasting because we made changes to our menu, which she accommodated graciously. From the first tasting with our family, however, we knew we made the right decision with this vendor. Carla is such a kind person and so professional. Food is arguably one of the most important things to me, so I knew I wanted the best whatever the cost. To say Epicurean Delights delivered is an understatement. From the fruit-infused water before the ceremony to our absolutely amazing hors d'oeuvres to our out-of-this-world dinner. If I had a dime for every food compliment we received during our wedding, we would be a very rich couple. Words cannot describe how amazing it was - even for our pickiest guests! Epicurean also accommodated our children guests and our one vegan guest by giving her a special salad and meal, which meant a lot to us. However, the actual taste of the food is only one part of my praise. The service provided the day of the wedding was also absolutely unbelievable. Every one of our needs were catered to, including one of the wait staff bringing me a personal platter of the appetizers as requested by one of my bridesmaids and a special boxed up meal for both my husband and I because we did not have a chance to finish our dinners. The same goes for our bartenders who worked so hard for our guests all night. Every aspect of this company is perfection and allowed for one of the most memorable parts of my wedding. THANK YOU, EPICUREAN AND CARLA! I cannot say that enough.

    Thank you again for taking the time to write a review.
    Lots of love

    Epicurean Delight exceeded all of our expectations. Their level of professionalism is admirable and their food is just down right delicious. Walking into the first tasting, all of my concerns regarding the food for our wedding disappeared. I immediately knew that everything was going to taste great and look fabulous. Carla and Cliff worked with all of our crazy ideas and made sure we had a menu from start to finish that we loved. The day of our wedding could not have gone smoother. Their staff was wonderful, accommodating, and very personable. Our guests still cannot stop talking about how much they loved the food. In fact, the day after our wedding we asked our flower girl (age 6) what her favorite part of the wedding was. Her response was, “the Caesar salad.” Our cake, baked and designed by Sarah, was an absolute showstopper. It was a pleasure working with the amazing team at Epicurean Delight and I would highly recommend them for any event….. and the mini Philly Cheesesteak sliders; words cannot describe how good they really are!

    My spouse and I are from New York City, one of the culinary capitals of the world, so we're no strangers to good food. But we were still floored at how delicious Epicurean's food was - it is seriously like a four-star restaurant's. We knew Epicurean Delight was the caterer for our wedding the minute we tasted their salmon, but everything they make is delicious. Our guests were raving about the food and did so for weeks after the wedding. The staff was incredibly accommodating and simply a joy to work with. Can't recommend highly enough!

    I normally don't write reviews but Epicurean Delight deserves the 5 stars! My guests continue to rave about the quality (and quantity!) of the food. Many have said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. The desert table was nothing short of amazing. In the days leading up to the wedding, Epicurean Delight was very responsive to any questions and concerns. They are true professionals who are extremely meticulous. HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to wow their guests with great food!

    Epicurean Delight catered my wedding this past weekend and did an amazing job! Carla and Cliff were so great to work with. They were extremely helpful during the entire planning process, and the day went off without a hitch! All of the servers and bartenders were professional and prompt. I highly recommend them and hope to use them for all future catering needs. Such a job well done, worth every penny!

    This company is 100% professional and took care of EVERYTHING food-related for our wedding day!!! The food was excellent, they did not complain about our somewhat hard-to-reach location; up a steep hill, in a field. All food was made on-location with fresh, local ingredients. And their presentation is outstanding.

    We tasted many items at our initial meeting (before we even booked them) at their Tunkhannock, PA, location, and the tasting was like a 5-course meal! Once booked, we were in touch leading up to the event, but they did not bother us with EVERY little decision, which we appreciated. They suggested many hot, passed appetizers (6, I think), which we did NOT end up going with. Having 2 cold appetizers was just fine for our guests, and was a good way for us to cut costs. We had their crudite platter and fruit kabobs; both delicious.

    This company needed our final count only the week before our event. We asked for a few services to be added the week before and that was no problem. Although at the higher end of our price range for our catering budget; WORTH every penny!! Many guests have commented on how wonderful the food was, better than the usual "wedding food!"

    Carla and Cliff were Epicurean DELIGHTFUL for our wedding last weekend! Our contract started with just a handshake last year and ended with a hug last weekend. Our guests were blown away by their amazing food! We then got to tell them that it was all made out of a truck and that our kitchen wasn't even touched! Their staff was professional, punctual and pulled off everything flawlessly! The presentation of their food was incredible and everyone commented on how it was the best wedding food they ever had (and we have some foodies in our group!) We were honored to have Cliff and Carla cater our entire weekend and will be highly recommending them to anyone having an event in our area. Thank you Carla, Cliff and team for an amazing experience! Ps: if you have an event where you need restrooms, they also have restroom trailers for hire that are out-of-this-world nice...didn't think I'd ever say that about a restroom but it's true! Eros Restroom Trailers!

    The food was fantastic! All our wedding guests raved about it. They had plenty of staff to accommodate serving plated dinners to our 180 guests. All of their servers and bartenders were super nice, professional and accommodating. The wedding cake and cupcakes were the best! They were so much better than other bakeries that we tried.

    Three words: Mashed. Potato. Bar. Perhaps you think that mashed potatoes aren't erudite enough for your wedding? Think again, brides, about the humble spuds. Epicurean did a phenom 10-foot mashed potato bar that the guests talked about for weeks--and it pleased both the snobby foodies and the meat-and-potatoes (wink, wink) crowd.

    I am being unfair about the rest of the food, of course. Honestly, everyone loved everything. As the bride, I never got to the cheese display--which at most weddings is more of a diversion from the booze than a focus of its own--but apparently ours was a huge hit. We also had passed hors d'oeuvres--all excellent, with the biggest praise going to the grilled shrimp. (I personally would stock my freezer with a gross of the spring rolls......ermagerd, best ever.)

    We had other stations that included chicken francaise, carved skirt steak, a pasta bar and caesar salads. It was all excellent, plus their presentation is first-rate. Their servers and bartenders are friendly, polite and VERY accommodating.

    Epicurean is one of the pricier off-site catering options, but well worth it! They are a first-class operation. They also worked with us to get the per-person price within our budget. If you are having your wedding at a venue that does not provide catering.....call Epicurean....go for a tasting and get a quote.

    To say that Epicurean Delight does amazing wedding food is putting it too lightly. The do amazing food...period. I would expect this quality at a 5-star restaurant. It is that delicious. Every single one of my guests raved about everything they ate from the hor d'oevres to the entrees (we did a seated dinner).

    Not only is the food great, but they are super flexible as well. They swapped out items with no issue and were accommodating when I had last minute cancellations. The only thing I will say is that they are a little slow on responding to emails, but the food makes up for it :)

    Avoid utilizing this catering company

    After months of conversations and finally meeting them, I asked for a breakdown of the cost. No more then 10 minutes later I received a email saying they were not interested in catering the wedding.
