Best food!

My husband and i had as much food as we could handle with all the excitement of our wedding and it was delicious! People are still raving to us about the food and it was almost a month ago. We could not have felt more comfortable with knowing we provided the best for our guests. Everything about Abigail Kirsch was above and beyond!

michelin star quality!

Abigail Kirsch was the caterer at The Lighthouse and we are so lucky! Every single person at the wedding told us how amazing the food was and we couldn't agree more. One guest had just returned from Italy and said the food was better than anything she tasted abroad! The cocktail hour was so different and everything was finger food which I loved! I don't like holding a full plate of pasta at steak during cocktail hours so this was an amazing solution. I wish I could relive the food at our wedding and eat it every night!

Amazing food and service

We had our wedding at Tappan Hill Mansion, an Abigail Kirsch venue. We could not be happier with the choice! All of the food selections were incredible; there were so many yummy-looking options that it was very hard to choose our menu! In the end, all of the food, from cocktail hour to the wedding cake, was fantastic. They didn't do a traditional "tasting," which I was initially disappointed about, but they do host a couple of nights a year where they serve a sample menu (it's a LOT of food) to all of the couples with upcoming weddings. After our tasting night I was sure we had made the right choice, as everything was fantastic. It also helped us choose which dishes to select for our own wedding! Many guests raved about the food, and the service was unmatched as well. Everything was wonderful!

The most delicious food!

We still hear people raving about the meal. There are so many options and we had such a hard time choosing the menu because the pictures all looked so mouth watering. The only downside is that they don’t do tasting but rest assured everything they serve is delicious (and very elegantly plated). They are very accommodating with special diet requests and do a great job of running through the menu after selection to ensure everything chosen works well together (ie. certain ingredients aren’t over represented, there’s a good balance of heavy and light food, etc). We also didn’t want the traditional cake so they let us use that as a credit towards something else on the menu which we used for late night pretzels which were a hit! Rest assured no one will leave hungry.

WOW! Some of the best food I've ever tasted, even better at some of the restaurants i've been to. The food sometimes (especially cocktail hour food) looks like art, is always beautifully presented and always delicious. Can't recommend enough. Too bad they don't do tastings, but after speaking to numerous people, reading countless reviews and looking at photographs, my husband and I were confident we were making the right choice. And we did. Our wedding 3 weeks ago was absolutely delicious

About a year or so ago We attended a wedding where Abigail kirsch was the catererer, everybody was so wowed by all of the food, it was like you were eating at a 5star restaraunt.
Everything was so Well thought out and organized that we could not wait to book them for our wedding.

Abigail Kirsch was fantastic! I could not have asked for a better caterer to handle my wedding. Although there was a shift in management mid way through our planning period, Abigail Kirsch handled themselves professionally and strived to give us the best service. The food was outstanding and very hearty. The mojito granitas were a hit! And the butlered service was impeccable. Great job to Carl Hedin and his staff. Thank you for a memorable evening. It was truly magical.

My husband and I were a bit anxious when we started the process of looking at venues because we really wanted a unique venue with stellar food. We also did not want to spend a fortune to achieve our vision. We struck gold when we found Abigail Kirsch’s Stone Mill at the New York Botanical Garden. The venue is absolutely stunning and the food is out of this world. It is on the smaller side, so if you are looking for a large banquet hall, this is not your place. It is quaint and romantic.

Our wedding was absolutely perfect and that is thanks to Stephanie and her team at AK’s Stone Mill. The course of the day flowed flawlessly thanks to them. We are so fortunate to have had our wedding at this location with the dream team.
