We opted for a kosher wedding, and I was genuinely nervous that the food might not be up to the same level as non-kosher caterers. Boy, was I wrong! Everyone raved about the food, and there was SO much of it! You would have never been able to tell it was kosher. For butlered hors d’oevres, we had 12 different selections, including pigs in a blanket, baby lamb chops with mint sauce, sesame salmon tartlets, chicken and waffles with maple glaze, mini soup shooters (butternut squash and tomato bisque), and sesame-crusted chicken. Besides that, we had four stations—a sushi station, a mixed grille station with steak, paprika chicken and short ribs, a corned beef carving station, and a cold antipasto and bruschetta station. It was delicious. Steve was very willing to work with us.. I saw that one of the stations offered mini chicken pot pies, so I asked if we could have those as one of our butlered apps instead since my husband LOVES chicken pot pie, and he obliged. They were delicious!

For dinner, guests had a choice between seared rosemary and thyme chicken with potato wedges and roasted asparagus and seared California white bass with teriyaki glaze, fingerling potatoes, and roasted vegetables. My sister’s a vegetarian and got the silent vegetarian option (quinoa-stuffed roasted pepper over spaghetti squash) and said it was fantastic. I’m now obsessed with finding out how they made the fish because it was probably the best fish I’ve ever tasted. Guests were also offered seconds of the entrees, which was a neat feature I’d never seen before. Besides cake (mentioned below), we also had six butlered desserts—fresh fruit kabobs, mini tiramisu, French macarons, mini apple cobblers, s’mores, and brownie lollipops. The food was definitely the star of the wedding, and I guarantee that no one left hungry (also because we had soft pretzels for guests on their way out!). Steve and his team were fantastic to work with and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect.

Steve was wonderful, patient and accommodating in helping us create a great non-traditional menu. The tasting was awesome! The preparation, organize and presentation were all exceptional. Everyone complimented us on the cocktail hour foods, and the meal. Desserts were delicious. When I told Steve I wanted apple strudel in loving memory of my grandmother, instead of a wedding cake, Steve was able to make it memorable!

Barclay Caterers were absolutely incredible! From planning the menu, to sampling the food, to the day of our wedding, everything was perfect. They were reasonably priced, always very fast to answer my questions, and worked closely with our venue to ensure everything ran smoothly without me having to worry about anything. I never knew kosher food could be so delicious until I tasted the steak and salmon we had chose to serve at our wedding (prime rib and seared salmon with an orange ginger sauce). So many people have approached me since and told me that they also were shocked the food was kosher. Even the cake was incredible! I will definitely be using Barclay Caterers for any of my future kosher catering needs.
