The best experience!
I am so happy that I chose Zeffert and Gold to cater my wedding. From the start, our planner Samantha was so helpful and organized. Most of all the food was amazing and the guests would not stop raving about how delicious the food was from the grazing table to the appetizers to the entrees. Additionally, the service was top notch. The entire staff was super friendly, professional, and proactive. Pick Zeffert and Gold and you won’t regret it.I am so happy that I chose Zeffert and Gold to cater my wedding. From the start, our planner Samantha was so helpful and organized.

Perfect Planning and Execution
We recently worked with Zeffert and Gold to cater two of our wedding events in August 2024. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to help us plan everything seamlessly.
The food was absolutely outstanding—every dish was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. Equally impressive was the level of service. The staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making our events perfect. Their attention to detail and ability to anticipate our needs made the entire experience stress-free.
We went with the BYOB option and bartenders were great. They prepared the signature drinks ahead of time and there was never a long line for a drink.

Amazing food and service
Zeffert and Gold were amazing from start to finish. Lisa, specifically, was so helpful and accommodating. She answered all of our questions promptly, and helped soothe my anxiety. The all-inclusive pricing was very fair considering all that was included. We looked at other catering options, and there was a lot that Zeffert and Gold offered that other caterers did not. The food was so good, and our wedding guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Sarah also was very attentive on our wedding day, and was always available to bring us food and drinks. I would highly recommend Zeffert and Gold to anyone having a party.Zeffert and Gold were amazing from start to finish. Lisa, specifically, was so helpful and accommodating.

Exceptional Food and Thoughtful Service!
Our catering experience was nothing short of amazing! Lisa was a dream to work with—attentive, thoughtful, and committed to helping us bring our vision to life. They incorporated elements from Maine (Lobster Rolls), New York (NY-style cheesecake), and Maryland (crab dip) to create a menu that was both personal and delicious. The tasting was beautifully run, and it was such a special memory to share with my parents. On the big day, the food and service were impeccable, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how incredible everything was.

Best wedding caterer around
As a foodie, having delicious food at our wedding was important to me, and Zeffert and Gold did not disappoint. Even months after our wedding, I still get compliments about how amazing the food was.
Lisa and the team were incredible to work with! From the tasting to the big day, their team made the entire process easy and enjoyable.
We opted for a station set up and every dish and component was beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. They also offered great options for our guests with dietary restrictions, which we truly appreciated. Our guests really enjoyed the espresso martini signature drink set up, and it was the perfect end to the night!

The service on the wedding day was impeccable. The staff was professional, friendly, and attentive, ensuring that everything went smoothly and that our guests were well taken care of.
I especially appreciated that Lisa was flexible when I decided to change from the original buffet menu we had tasted to a stations menu, and scheduled an additional tasting to make sure all the food was to our liking.
If you’re looking for a caterer who will wow your guests and make your day stress-free, look no further than Zeffert and Gold. They played such a big part in making our wedding day unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Best wedding planning decision ever!
Zeffert and Gold's standard of excellence at my 150 person wedding was unbeatable. They are worth every penny and I would hire them again in a flash.
Pre-wedding: My now-husband and I worked with Matt Gold directly for about two years leading up to our wedding. Matt was incredibly responsive; helpfully honest in answering our food, drink, and decor questions throughout the planning process; knowledgeable about our venue and what layouts/flow worked best from his experience; accommodating of one-off requests; and willing to quickly research availability and pricing for specific decor requests.
Day-of: The Z&G team was on time and handled transitions from the ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dessert seamlessly. My husband and I...Zeffert and Gold's standard of excellence at my 150 person wedding was unbeatable. They are worth every penny and I would hire them again in a flash.

Day-of: The Z&G team was on time and handled transitions from the ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner to dessert seamlessly. My husband and I even had a dedicated server (shout to Sarah!) who met us after the ceremony with flutes of champagne and stayed by our side throughout the evening making sure we tasted the appetizers, enjoyed dinner, and always had a beverage in hand.
Guest perspective: Cocktail hour included passed and stationary hors d'ouevres, and dinner was served family style. Our guests raved about the food and the frequency with which servers were circulating passed appetizers. At dinner, guests were specifically impressed by how the servers noticed in advance when a table needed refills of sides or mains. Some servers gently instructed guests how to dine family style ("This is a marinated flank steak. Please help yourself and then pass to your left.") which is a small yet important detail to ensure all the dishes made their way around the table. Lastly, the bartenders were fantastic. We didn't have a specialty cocktail and yet a lot of guests had bright pink and purple drinks in hand... The bartender had concocted their own specialty drinks in the moment and they were a hit! -

Absolutely Incredible Catering Experience with Zeffert and Gold!
We couldn’t have asked for a more flawless catering experience for our 120-seat wedding reception, and it’s all thanks to Zeffert and Gold, especially the extraordinary Adelaide. From the moment we began the process, we knew we were in expert hands. After narrowing down our list of potential caterers to two, Zeffert and Gold won us over during the taste-off, which showcased not only their phenomenal food but also their unmatched professionalism and creativity.
Adelaide is truly a star in the catering world. She was an absolute dream to work with—knowledgeable, organized, and incredibly responsive at every stage. No detail was too small for her to address, and her ability to anticipate our needs before we even realized...We couldn’t have asked for a more flawless catering experience for our 120-seat wedding reception, and it’s all thanks to Zeffert and Gold, especially the extraordinary Adelaide.

The presentation was stunning, and every dish was as delicious as it was beautifully crafted. Adelaide and her team made us feel confident and stress-free throughout the entire process.
Zeffert and Gold delivered not just an amazing meal, but an experience that was truly unforgettable. Their team’s service was impeccable—attentive, professional, and always with a smile. Adelaide’s leadership shone through in every interaction, and her ability to flawlessly coordinate such a large event was nothing short of inspiring.

Adelaide from Zeffert & Gold is a rock star!
We recently got married, and Zeffert & Gold was our caterer. They did an incredible job managing everything and making our vision come to life. I contacted a lot of caterers in the wedding planning process, and Z&G was one of the best at communicating things clearly and concisely. When I reached out for a quote, they asked relevant follow up information and shared clear proposals with pricing laid out. Some other vendors would only give vague price ranges, but Z&G sent me custom proposals with price break downs for the various components needed for a wedding. It really helped me understand the value we would be getting with them as our caterer.

We worked with Adelaide Kachur specifically, and she was excellent. I cannot understate what a pleasure it was to work with her, and how easy she made things the day of our wedding. She truly is an event designer, and she worked with our coordinator to pull off the event of our dreams. The dining space for the reception looked wonderful, and everything was exactly what we wanted.
Overall, the catering staff was helpful and kind. When one of them overheard my new husband and I lamenting we hadn't even tried the appetizers during cocktail hour, they brought us a tray with all the apps on it, just for us! They also made sure we had enough water all night, and re-supplied us with cocktails as needed. They were so thoughtful.
Also, the food was absolutely PHENOMENAL. We did a tasting before booking, but it was all great. We had the teriyaki salmon, greek stuffed chicken, braised short ribs, and chickpea cakes as entrees offered at our wedding and got rave reviews about all of them. Z&G also made us little to go boxes of all the food since the wedding day flies by, so we got to enjoy all of it the next day too.
With Zeffert & Gold and Adelaide, every detail was considered. They leveraged their expertise about how weddings work and used it to ensure our wedding would be as enjoyable and beautiful as possible. We are so, SO grateful we chose them, and that they delivered in such an exceptional way. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a caterer or event planner! -

Incredible!
We had a hiccup with our original caterer 3 months out from the wedding and had to pivot quickly to find a suitable caterer that provided what we needed. We received multiple recommendations for Zeffert & Gold and were so happy that they were available for our day. The staff were incredibly kind, food was delicious, and overall service was perfect! We chose to do a buffet with passed apps and a few stationed ones as well as an open bar and all of our guests raved about them.

They set up a small tray of apps for my husband and I that was ready to go immediately after the ceremony along with our signature drinks to enjoy in private before entering into the cocktail hour to mingle. They continued to check on us throughout the event and made sure we had plenty of food and drinks. Absolutely loved them! -

We're so glad we went with Z&G
We are so glad we chose Z&G for our wedding. The food and service were phenomenal—several guests even told us it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding! Lisa was amazing to work with; she assisted us with so much more than just the food, making the planning process much easier. On the day of the wedding, we were able to enjoy all the appetizers thanks to the fantastic team. We highly recommend Z&G to anyone looking for a caterer and would definitely use them again for any future events.We are so glad we chose Z&G for our wedding.

The absolute best catering team -- amazing delicious food!
Zeffert & Gold did an absolutely incredible job! Samantha was amazing to work with -- responsive, kind, professional and gave us excellent advice. Day of our wedding, all of their employees, servers, and bartenders did a wonderful job!
I will also say we have heard over and over again from our family and friends how much they LOVED the food! A lot of them have said they've never been so well fed at a wedding as they were at ours -- the food was delicious, the portions were so big (had to get fuel to keep us on the dance floor!), timing and presentation was flawless. Amazing job and we would absolutely recommend working with Z&G for your big day.Zeffert & Gold did an absolutely incredible job!

Excellent wedding caterer
From our planning phone calls to the tasting to the venue walk-through to the wedding day, the entire Zeffert staff was extremely professional, communicative, and easy to work with. The food was beyond delicious, and our creative director, Matt, thoughtfully helped us to design a menu that reflected our cultural backgrounds. Zeffert was even flexible in trying new recipes to recreate dishes that were culturally meaningful to us! Moreover, the Zeffert wait staff and bartenders were so kind and friendly during the wedding itself. We are thrilled with Zeffert and could not recommend this caterer highly enough!From our planning phone calls to the tasting to the venue walk-through to the wedding day, the entire Zeffert staff was extremely professional, communicative, and easy to work with.

The Best Caterer!
Out of all the caterers we tried, the food from ZG was on another level! We were hesitant on the cost but after the whole event we fully believe it was worth it. They had a dedicated server to hand us drinks and apps before mingling during cocktail hour and made sure I never step foot at the bar. The reception was set up beautifully with all the details we discussed beforehand and Adelaide was so responsive to every email I sent prior to the wedding. Highly recommend!Out of all the caterers we tried, the food from ZG was on another level! We were hesitant on the cost but after the whole event we fully believe it was worth it.

MVP on the vendor team!
Zeffert and Gold was the MVP on our dream team of vendors! The quality of their food and service is truly worth every penny! Lisa was our point person, and she amazing throughout the wedding planning process. I knew I could trust her to give me good advice, to respect our budget, and to make things as streamlined as possible. By the time we left our tasting, I felt like the whole day was pretty much planned! On our wedding day, Lisa, Matt, and the rest of the catering team were very attentive and made sure my husband and I were well fed and hydrated. Most importantly, since the wedding, people have told us how much they loved the food! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Zeffert and Gold.

We can not say enough good things about Zeffert and Gold. Adelaide and the whole staff were very helpful from the start and were very good about calming our nerves while planning the wedding. It was difficult to decide which menu options to choose because all of the food from the tasting was delicious. They could not have been more wonderful on the day of the wedding. They made sure that my husband and I had enough food to eat and made sure that we had a drink whenever we wanted one.

They went above and beyond to help one of my guests who was pregnant and realized she could not eat the food she had chosen because she was not feeling well. The staff worked with her and gave her an entire plate of mashed potatoes because that is what she could eat at the time. They also worked very well with our Day Of Wedding Coordinator. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the leftovers that they gave us and we were glad that we were able to try the food that we did have time to enjoy during the reception. We wish we could plan another big event so we could hire Zeffert and Gold again!

Just Exquisite
My god, where do we even start with how amazing Adelaide and the entire Zeffert and Gold team were? We had our wedding at Gramercy Mansion on May 11. Having been to lots of large events, we didn't have a lot of confidence that large-scale catering could truly wow anyone, but Z&G proved us wrong, and we're so glad they did!
From the first contact, Addie was flexible, responsive, diligent, and enthusiastic. These traits only proved to be a cornerstone of our wedding day. The tasting was absolutely incredible. Addie suggested changes based on our dietary restrictions and personal preferences, no matter how seemingly minute. She was only helpful, never pushy.

From the first contact, Addie was flexible, responsive, diligent, and enthusiastic. These traits only proved to be a cornerstone of our wedding day. The tasting was absolutely incredible. Addie suggested changes based on our dietary restrictions and personal preferences, no matter how seemingly minute. She was only helpful, never pushy. When Ilana said she liked a salad we tasted, but did not like the beets, Adelaide said it was no issue to swap it out for carrots. And that was our first course at our wedding, just like that. When we were considering which vegetarian dish to add to the menu, Adelaide helped steer us to something that our vegetarian friends might enjoy more because it was a bit different than what they might be used to having at weddings. We appreciated that thoughtfulness. Addie helped us think through the details we never would have considered, making the planning straightforward and easy. And they worked with us on creating fantastic signature cocktails and mocktails! Adelaide and Z&G have a lot of experience, and it's always on display in a comforting way.
As for the food itself, the short rib was exceptional, and the teriyaki salmon main course was exquisite. I had people with distinguished taste say how much they like the mac and cheese appetizer. When I had the Natty Boh French Onion Dip, I was sold on Zeffert and Gold. They had such a good variety of food options for every course, and you couldn't go wrong. Their add-on packages were also transparent and all looked great. They were flexible when we wanted to change things in our package, like adding a champagne toast. At the same time, they made sure that non-alcoholic cider was available for the non-drinkers among us, which we expressed was important.
Adelaide and Ally (who was assigned to us, the bride and groom, to make sure we were always happy!) made sure we got a little bit of anything we wanted while we were scurrying around the day of. We were actually able to sample all of the apps, which they set aside for us despite the fact that we were busy with photos for the whole cocktail hour. They made sure we ate during the reception, and gave us a care package at the end of the night with samples of just about everything and some of each flavor of cake we had. They also dropped everything to help coordinate with my designated friends who were leaving early, about taking home leftovers from the event to their fridge. UNREAL. Talented, professional, and a pleasure to work with, Zeffert and Gold and Adelaide are just next level. -

Amazing Communication & Execution
Adelaide and Zeffert & Gold were outstanding! Immediately from our tasting we knew they were going to be an amazing vendor to work with. Adelaide was so incredibly nice, personable and professional. Great communication and execution. They will work with you to alter to your likings but will also give their professional opinion when it matters most. We had one slight defect in a table Select Events Group provided Z&G, but Z&G handled it even under pressure. Our guests are still raving about the appetizers over 1 month later. Bar service was a hit as well. They ALWAYS took the time to thoroughly answer our questions no matter how big or small.Adelaide and Zeffert & Gold were outstanding!

The best wedding food and team!
My husband and I have nothing but praise for Zeffert and Gold Catering! From the initial inquiry all the way through our wedding day, the Zeffert and Gold Catering team was an absolute pleasure to work with. We worked primarily with Adelaide, who is one of my favorite humans of all time; she is truly like family to us! I cannot stop raving about her. She acted as a day of planner and supported us throughout the stressful and crazy wedding process. She was incredibly kind, professional, understanding, responsive, and organized, which made for a seamless planning process and provided a sense of comfortability throughout.

She was incredibly kind, professional, understanding, responsive, and organized, which made for a seamless planning process and provided a sense of comfortability throughout. She worked with us consistently until the menu and wedding set up was exactly what we wanted it to be. My priority was a nacho bar, and she and the chef worked with me to make sure that it was perfect, which it was. My husband and I tried multiple catering companies before settling on Zeffert and Gold, and really what pushed us was their amazing food, supportive team, and Adelaide of course!! Every single bite of food was phenomenal! Our wedding guests RAVED about the food and stated that it was some of the best wedding food they had ever eaten!
At the wedding, we had Jane as the day-of manager, who was absolutely incredible! She made sure the wedding day progressed smoothly and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. Additionally, Zeffert and Gold assigned a personal assistant to provide drinks and food for us throughout the entire wedding day. This was such a unique touch and showed us how much Zeffert and Gold cares about their couples. I cannot put into words how much we appreciate all of their hard work to make our wedding day so special. We were so grateful to have Zeffert and Gold be a part of our big day and provide such phenomenal food and décor. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone 1,000 times over! WE LOVE YOU ZEFFERT AND GOLD CATERING!

Best Wedding Food, Incredible Service!
WOW! Zeffert and Gold was truly incredible on our wedding day. Months later and people still can't stop talking about the food at our wedding! 10/10 recommend splurging on the prime rib because it was out of this world. People also loved the donut bar! From the moment we reached out, Matt was incredibly helpful and always communicated quickly. He helped us not only select a perfect menu, but walked us through every minute of our wedding day and made sure we had thought through everything so it would run perfectly smoothly. They thought of everything, from making sure drinks were ready to be passed out right after the ceremony ended to helping us with a special toast! Zeffert...WOW!

Zeffert and Gold took care of so much for the set up and the day of servers were always around and making sure the bride and groom had everything they needed. We had an outdoor summer wedding and asked Zeffert and Gold if they could help us serve champagne with popsicles in it and Matt worked with us to make sure this would be affordable and do-able. It was a huge hit! If you're looking for a company to bring your day to life, this is the one!-
