    Highly recommended!!

    Emily and crew were fantastic! They set up all the decorations beautifully and with very little direction needed. The food was absolutely delicious as well! They made clean up after the evening so easy and efficient. I would definitely recommend Emily's Cafe & Catering for all of your catering needs.

    Perfect!!!!

    Our daughter (and now son-in-law) were married at Updike Farmstead in Princeton this past weekend. Emily's catered the event flawlessly. Working with Emily and her team leading up to the wedding was easy and helpful. Emily herself could not have been more responsive, flexible and simply delightful. The party itself became an extension of the lead-up. The food was terrific. Her staff was great. Everything went smoothly - not a single hiccup. If we could give 6 stars we would. We cannot recommend Emily's strongly enough for a wedding like this, which served 175 people. GREAT JOB EMILY!!

We got the chance to work with Emily and company at wedding at the Prallsville Mill in Stockton last year and they were amazing to work with. Dinner was spectacularly timed and was excellent. As a DJ I get to sample food from a lot of different caterers and the Chilean Sea Bass was out of this world! Emily was always very friendly and courteous and everything went amazingly well. Highly recommend.
