I recently hosted my daughter’s bridal shower at The Branches Catering, and to say it was awesome truly doesn’t do this venue justice.
From the very beginning, everything was exquisite until the very end i would DEFINITELY recommend

Baby Shower

Stacie and the entire banquet staff went over and beyond to help make my daughter's baby shower a huge success. Stacie was prompt in replying to all of my calls & emails and made every effort to accommodate all of my requests. We went with the brunch for our event. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. I received so many compliments from my guests. I will definitely have my next event at Branches.

Baby shower buffet brunch

We had my daughters baby shower at the newly opened Branches. Everything was wonderful. The brunch buffet was delicious and had something for everyone. The service was great. The mattre d was very attentive and made sure the food was replenished quickly. He even brought over extra eggs for my 2 year old granddaughter. The room was set up exactly as we wanted it for the shower and looked beautiful. The unlimited mimosas were a hit.

Great Venue would highly recommend

We held our Daughter's Dance at Branches this April and everything was wonderful. We were fortunate to receive a Sunday afternoon with a late request. The staff was great and so accommodating, making everyone feel welcomed and special. The venue was superb extremely clean, nicely decorated, and newly renovated. The food selection was also excellent and the chief offered special selections due to the group we had attending. The room size is perfect and can accommodate a very large or small size group. A definite must see and check for availability, Branches will not disappoint, a highly recommended venue.

Phenomenal Atmosphere

Phenomenal atmosphere/venue and very experienced staff. Such a roomy, newly renovated space with delicious food. A great place for any event. We had a communion here, but it would be prefect for a wedding. BTW check out the Bridal Suite, you won't want to leave it. I can't wait to get back because one side is a Restaurant that makes the best Halibut I ever had in my life.

Branches Catering Service exceeded our expectations

I have been to events catered by Branches but have never experienced such a unique experience with Branches at a very unique venue, Laurita Winery. Upon arrival, the staff accommodated our every needs, even providing us with a wagon to take pictures around the venue, a special thanks to our driver, Walt, who is always a pleasure to work with. Within two hours the staff transformed the venue into an even more magical venue then it already is. Even throughout the evening, they continued to transform the venue. From the cocktail hour to dinner and the dessert table to name a few. I didn’t even notice the staff was there, they took care of EVERYTHING. Mike, the wedding attendant, was there when we needed him and was extremely quick to deliver. The food, the venue and the staff were all very amazing. I hear from others that things aren’t always perfect the day of and try not to get upset. I can state that the entire day and evening was just perfect. I wish I can relive the day OVER and OVER again. Thank you Branches and Laurita for making our special day one that we will always remember.

Perfect location for our smaller wedding

Branches was the perfect spot for our wedding. The waterfall garden was the perfect setting for our ceremony and then right inside for cocktail hour and the reception! Monica was wonderful to work with and made sure everything was just the way we wanted it for our special day. Things went very smoothly on the day of and we were beyond happy with our decision to have the wedding at Branches. The whole team there was great and our wedding was wonderful. We would highly recommend Branches to anyone looking for a venue in the Jersey shore area.

Best experience!

Working with Monica at branches was amazing. She was so patient with us and paid attention to every last detail up ( even allowing for changes 5 min before the ceremony!) the food was excellent. We had a great time!
