Hire David Joseph’s special events!

We would highly recommend hiring David Joseph’s special events for your wedding or any major event.

Organising a wedding from Australia was extremely daunting, but David & Joseph made it so seamless and easy. They were generous, kind, professional and punctual.

The food and service they provided was 100000/10. Everyone at the wedding could not stop raving about how brilliant it all was.

We will miss them!!

We couldn't imagine a better evening

WOW! From the first phone call with Joseph, to the last goodbye of the night, he was a pleasure to work with. He and his team executed perfectly. I could not have imagined the number of compliments we would receive on the food and service alone. We were floored and so were our guests. Our amazement began right away. After the ceremony, 2 huge trays of cocktail hour food were prepared for us to enjoy. And not just prepared. The platters were decorated, and presented beautifully which really warmed out hearts (and stomachs)We dove in as if we had never eaten before and enjoyed every last bit of food with huge smiles on our faces. Next thing we new, there was more food! We then made our way into the dining room for dinner. Everything was set up beautifully. Our venue has no kitchen and no true back of house for staff to do what they need to. But you would never have known. Glasses were filled before they were finished. Food was brought out HOT - actually hot. And it was all delicious. Jospeh and his staff are miracle workers and we could not be happier that we got the chance to work with them! THANK YOU!

We met Joseph and Jen at the rental showroom a little less than a year before our wedding. They genuinely wanted to get to know us and help us have the best wedding celebration possible. They took the reign of our wedding and made a spreadsheet that thinks of everything a bride and groom should think about before their wedding. It felt like we had hired planners as well as caterers. We had several touch bases throughout the months and got everything finalized about a week out from the wedding. He helped us work within our budget and didn't try and rip us off in any way.
The food and energy of the wedding was incredible. So many people had told us the hors d'ouevres were the best they have had. They had made sure my husband and I and our family was taken care of the whole night.
Genuine good people, good food, and good service. They had made the venue look so gorgeous and elegant and didn't bother me at all while I was getting ready in the bridal suite. They are the complete packages and true professionals. We are so happy they made our wedding so memorable and would recommend them over and over again.

When we 1st spoke to Joseph Farahat on the phone we felt a connection. Our conversation lasted over an hour & he asked several questions about us, our relationship, and what we were looking for. He gave us some tips on how to save money. It didn't feel like a vendor/client phone call but rather a conversation between friends.

We had many meetings and phone calls with him to plan out every detail. We had floorpans, lists & spreadsheets, which at 1st feels overwhelming but by the end we realized all the paperwork kept everyone on the same page & left no question unanswered. He was very accommodating to our busy schedules & made himself available on weekends & evenings.

The food was also delicious! David Josephs invited us to a restaurant they own to do a menu tasting! We tried dozens of food items & gave notes and narrowed down to the food we exactly wanted. Everyone at the wedding complimented the food and said it was one of the best.

David Josephs isn't just a catering company. They basically took the role of a wedding coordinator. They worked with all our vendors simultaneously. Joseph's partner Jen was by our side for most of the wedding, answering every question we had, solving every minor problem that arose, and even would just magically appear with a tray of drinks, anticipating that we would want one.

We truly felt catered by Joseph, Jen and the rest of the David Josephs Catering company on our wedding day. They truly took the time and energy to give us exactly what we wanted and added so much to the magical day. They were so personal and caring, we truly feel like we made some new friends with Joseph and Jen and will definitely keep in touch with them.

I can't speak highly enough about David Josephs Catering. From the first time that we sat down with Joseph to the tail end of our wedding, he was attentive, open to different ideas, and completely on the ball. If my husband or I had questions, he was quick to answer them and the day of, he and the rest of his kick-ass staff did an absolutely amazing job. The food was spectacular and I couldn't have been more happy with their work. A++

We loved working with David Joseph's Catering! Joseph was fantastic about taking care of the bridal party before and after the ceremony. There was some fruit and cheese in the bridal suite before the ceremony, and then after the ceremony, he made sure that my husband and I got a chance to try every hors d'oeuvre that was being served during cocktail hour. The fact that he brought food to us as we were taking a moment to relax after the ceremony was truly a life-saver. And most importantly, everything tasted great! They also managed to execute a delicious dinner at the Museum of the Moving Image, which has unique restrictions, such as no open flame. They are great about covering all the details and making sure you don't have to worry about any of it. They were also wonderful about working within our price range and offering solutions to meet our budget. They truly seem to love what they do, and that makes all the difference.

Everything was perfect, and Joseph and his team went ABOVE AND BEYOND every step of the way. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the wonderful food (especially at a museum venue without a kitchen!) and how friendly and attentive the entire team was. From the tasting to the wedding, everyone was extremely professional, prompt and organized. Joseph helped us think through all details of our wedding (far beyond the catering/rentals) and helped us feel relaxed and ready for the big day. I really don't think we could have pulled the wedding off without Joseph, Jen and the rest of the team's help. If you're looking for a catering company for your wedding or event, there's no one better than David Joseph's Catering!!!!

Our wedding was absolutely flawless and David Joseph's was completely the reason why. It was beyond professional service. We didn't need a wedding planner or coordinator because they took care of EVERYTHING. 6 months later and we're still hearing from people that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Trust these guys to do their job- they know what they're doing and made me feel completely relaxed the day of- I was the opposite of the typical stressed out bride. I'm still shocked that it went so well and that people had such an amazing time, especially considering the value for the price. Joseph helped save us so much money because he was completely honest with what mattered to spend your money on and what really wasn't necessary. Hiring them was the best decision we made!

We used David Josephs catering for our wedding reception held at Midtown Loft and Terrace. They were nothing but spectacular. They provided food, rentals, and staff-- all of which far exceeded our expectations at a very reasonable price. If you, like us, are trying to put on a 5 star wedding (while avoiding 5 star prices) stop now and give them a call. You will not regret it. Leading up to the wedding, we coordinated with Joseph, one of the co-owners. To say that he was more than accommodating is an understatement. He worked with us around our schedule (which is hectic) and meant lots of weekend mornings. No problem, he was available. Above that, he made us feel so at ease with the process, Joseph was on it. He went way above and beyond in helping us capture our vision and give us the wedding of our dreams. He helped us coordinate the food, decor, rentals, staff, flow of events... basically the entire day, and all of it was perfect. The food was incredible. Their standard menu includes tons of options across a wide spectrum of cuisines. All of it is absolutely delicious. They even went as far as creating dishes off menu for us at our request! Day of, they provided a staff fit for an army. Everyone was so professional, friendly, and tended to our guests (and us) religiously. Joseph stayed on site the entire evening (!) and his captain, Jen, was awesome. We can’t say enough how fantastic the team was. Finally, cost. We received quotes from dozens of caterers, and none of them could provide the level of service or food quality at the price David Josephs quoted us. It’s really amazing how reasonable their cost is compared to the amount that you are getting. Now that it’s over, so many people are telling us, verbatim, "this was the best wedding I have ever been to". We completely agree. Sitting here writing this, my new wife just said to me, "I got my dream wedding". I did too, and you will as well if you go with David Josephs catering.

David, Joseph and all of their staff went above and beyond to make our wedding day more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Their professionalism, attention to detail and calm under pressure made them such a pleasure to work with. Jen - the captain - was exceptional and made sure that everything ran smoothly. She was outstanding and I do not think that the day would have run as it did without her and Joseph's leadership. And the food?!?! Everyone raved about how incredible it was. We did a BBQ theme and I cannot stop dreaming about the Mac & Cheese. They took our BBQ concept and turned it into high end dining! What a treat. If you are planning a wedding, I highly recommend DJ Catering. They will make the most special day of your life even more than you could have ever dreamed of!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
