Incredible - food and service!

Jill and her team did such an amazing job with our wedding in the Hudson Valley. this past May. I have gotten endless compliments about our food, with several people telling me it was some of the best food they'd had at a wedding. Jill was lovely to work with leading up to the wedding as well - super flexible, super competent, really willing to accommodate our different requests. We got so many compliments about the bartender service as well, and it felt like everything was very seamless. Jill and her team truly do go above and beyond, and we are so grateful that they were a part of our day!

Thank you Above and Beyond!

Our daughter's wedding was made all the more special by having Above & Beyond as our caterer. We were looking for a modern, sophisticated kosher caterer that could accommodate different dietary restrictions and help with our wedding weekend events. Jill and her team were such a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. From our first meeting to discuss our vision for the wedding, to the tasting, to the wedding weekend, we appreciated Jill's knowledge, expertise, flexibility and most notably-- kindness in planning this memorable event for our family. Most importantly, the food was delicious!!! Our guests raved about the hors d'oeuvres selections, the dinner and the desserts that were passed on the dance floor. We highly recommend Above and Beyond!

The best of the best!

Jill and her team are one of the best decisions you can make when enlisting your wedding team! She is kind, guiding and not to mention her food and drinks are outstanding. Not only does she think of anything but she offers an array of services that go beyond just catering. She is a seasoned pro and worth every cent. Always making herself available to listen to the smallest concerns. Do not hesitate to book her as she is true to her name sake and goes above and beyond!!

Truly Above & Beyond!

Jill and the Above and Beyond catering team most certainly lived up to their name! Everything from beginning to end was absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented. Guests kept commenting to us how good the food was. Many asked for the caterer’s name . Jill was also a pleasure to work with and made sure everything was perfect. I would definitely use her again.

Highly Professional and Creative!

From first emails/calls to venue walkthrough to last detail calls and finally our wedding itself -- we always knew that Jill was on top of things and nothing would fall through the cracks! As someone planning my own wedding, Jill's insight and advice was invaluable; so, too, was the graceful way in which she interacts with other vendors and the venue. We heard nothing but praise from our venue and our guests loved the food and plating. It was such a lovely feeling to arrive to our wedding knowing we were in such good hands and could just be in the moment! The food was wonderful and Jill listened to our requests when finalizing our menu. We are already recommending Above and Beyond to our closest friend and would recommend to you, whomever you are!

First choice was the best choice!

We were blown away by the food at a friend's wedding so naturally Above and Beyond was our first choice. Jill understood our vision and created a cocktail hour and dinner that perfectly reflected our requests. She worked seamlessly with our other vendors and paid attention to details beyond the scope of food and drink and was always responsive to our concerns. We are so very thankful to Jill and her staff and would recommend them without reservation.

Elevated Kosher food for every Palate!

The Bride and Groom are vegetarian and knew they wanted some creative dishes, while still offering meat options. Well, Jill and her team really did go above and beyond. There were some many wonderful appetizers to choose from, and Jill was always flexible if they wanted to change a few things. Everyone loved the variety and most of all it was delicious. Working with Jill was such a delight, she made it look so easy, which we all know is an art. I would use Above & Beyond for every one of our Simchas. Thank you Jill!

Best Caterer EVER!!

We want to first start by saying Above and Beyond is AMAZING! Jill Lamstein makes sure that your wedding is PERFECT! Not only is her food EXCELLENT, unique, and beautifully presented, but she makes the experience so enjoyable!

We have had the privilege of seeing Jill’s work multiple times (within our family) before our own wedding. It was a dream come true to have Jill cater our wedding as well (April 2025)!

Our wedding was filled with guests from all different backgrounds but one thing that everyone came back to tell us was how great the food was! Jill takes kosher catering to the next level!

As soon as we met with Jill for ourselves, we knew we had nothing to worry about! She worked with our banquet coordinator (at a venue she hadn’t previously worked at) and was praised with the highest regard by the staff there as well! Jill also makes sure that any Jewish traditions are running smoothly and makes sure that all religious articles are kept safe throughout the night!

We 100% recommend Above and Beyond Catering! We know you will feel what we did! We love Jill and her team! Thank you for making the wedding of our dreams come to life!

Her team is creative, professional, and extremely user friendly. An absolute delight to work with!
