10/10 Amazing

I could not recommend Falco more! For starters, their food was delicious and their team is beyond friendly and helpful. We had our wedding in our backyard and we were blown away by how involved they were beforehand. The owner/chef came to see the property and work with us to create a floor plan. We also loved that he brought a rep from Ocean Tents to see everything and work together. Then about a week beforehand our maître d came out to see the property and go over all the details she would be able to help with. We loved that neither of them came in blind the day of!
Our maître d Lisa was incredible! She was so friendly/ helpful while also keeping everyone in line to make sure the flow of the day kept moving. We loved that she made us a plate of cocktail hour foods to eat privately after pictures and before heading out to say our hellos to our guests. We also appreciated that she looked out for us and our parents at dinner time. She would make sure all of us stopped and ate at some point, otherwise we probably would’ve spent the whole day on an empty stomach.

Finally we have to shout out Heather. Heather was our point person through email from day one. She was so friendly and helpful, we could not have pulled off the day without her. Trying to pull off a backyard wedding is stressful but Heather helped every step of the way.

Excellent service all around!

We used Falco's for our wedding at The Asbury Hotel. The service was top notch from start to end! We worked with Heather as our maitre d'. Heather and her team were very responsive and extremely helpful leading up to our event. On the day of the wedding they executed everything exactly as described and more. Her team was very professional, friendly, and helpful the entire night. We loved the food and the all our guests commented on how fun and tasty the hors d'oeuvres were during cocktail hour. Would highly recommend Falco's for your event!

June Wedding at the Asbury Hotel

If you want to have a wedding with food that is delicious and customized to you, Falco’s is the best. Working with Alissa for over a year of planning was absolutely amazing, she was always quick to answer our emails and went into detail with every possible option we could choose for our contract. We got married down the shore and inquired if we could have boardwalk inspired food at our cocktail hour. Not only did Alissa deliver with food recommendations, she created an entire boardwalk station for us (corn dogs, onions rings, cheese fries, so much more) which was something that was not included in the listed cocktail hour options! The team was so attentive and focused on making sure we had everything possible to make our wedding day perfect. Our maitre d’ Heather and bridal attendant Lisa made sure our reception went smooth and that we always had food and drinks in hand. We highly recommend getting the Italian ice as one of your dessert options, our guests absolutely loved them!

Great food and excellent service!

Highly recommend!! Falco's went above and beyond throughout the wedding planning process and they made our day so special at The Asbury Hotel. Heather kept us updated throughout our planning and she was helpful whenever we needed something. Both Heather and Renee provided unbelieveable service the day of our wedding, as well as the other Falco's staff. The food was great and we received plenty of compliments from our guests about it. The service and presentation was awesome as well. Truly a great experience working with them and would work with them again in a heartbeat!

Lisa is the GOAT

We had a wonderful experience with Falco's for our 4/28 wedding in Asbury Park. After meeting with Lisa and expressing that our goal was to get on to the dance floor after dinner as quickly as possible, she MADE IT HAPPEN! The food and service were both incredible, we keep hearing awesome feedback from our guests. Thank you to Falco's!

Churro Fries on the Dance Floor

We knew we wanted to do something different for our wedding, and Falco's was the perfect partner to help us bring our vision to life. Their wide array of packages and options allowed us to pick and choose what was best for us and our guests. Alisa, Heather and Lisa are in a league of their own, and their partnership over the year and a half planning process was much appreciated. They have a great reputation with other vendors and the way they worked across the aisle with the rest of our vendor team was excellent.

p.s. you certainly do not have to worry about your guests leaving hungry when working with Falco's!

Falco's Catering is the BEST

Where to begin? In short, 10/10. If you are considering using Falco’s Catering- do it, I promise you that it’ll be the right choice. Additionally, if you are considering a wedding at the Chapel at Sandy Hook, you MUST go with Falco’s Catering because not only is their service excellent, and food delicious, but they know how to execute flawlessly at this non traditional venue which can be a tricky. Despite the weather challenges (unusually windy) Falco’s kept us feeling stress free and made the right decisions to keep our guests comfortable and happy. Even with these challenges, I wouldn’t have changed a thing because the beauty of the venue and the expertise of Falco’s made it the perfect day.


Leading up to the wedding, Alissa gave us the best advice, helped us make decisions, and provided such detailed insight into the process. Despite being very busy, she always made time for us and never made us feel pressure regarding out choices. She always has great recommendations when it came to food, other vendors and color choices. Thank you Alissa, I don’t know what we would have done without you!

Lisa, our Maitre’D, is absolutely the BEST. Even under less than ideal weather circumstances, she was calm, cool, collected and executed everything perfectly. She made decisions on the fly that needed to be made, and never made me or my husband feel stressed or worried. When you decide to have an outdoor wedding, you know weather can be a factor, but Lisa kept us worry free the whole time. Our families were so impressed with her ability to run the event so seamlessly.

Renee, our captain, and the rest of the staff at Falco’s (Stephen, Alex, Jenna, Marissa and so many more) were on top of everything. Multiple people told me that the waitstaff went out of their way to accommodate them or bring them an appetizer they liked. One server went out of their way to make sure my sister, who is vegetarian, got all the vegetarian options. It’s the little thing like this that make Falco’s stand out and provide an excellent experience for your guests.

Lastly, Stephen, Joey, Marino and the rest of the cooking team make the best food! The variety, selection, and quality of their food is top notch. It’s so impressive that they can keep such high standards even when catering completely offsite without a regular kitchen. A family member from out of state said he’s been to a lot of weddings and ours had the best food he’s ever had hands down. He specifically commented how perfectly the meat was cooked and I would agree! The penne vodka at Falco’s is the best you’ll ever have. Six months later and my guest STILL tell us we had, and I quote “the most legendary catering” at our wedding. Thank you to the whole team for making our day even more perfect than I had ever imagined.

Falco's Catering is in a league of their own!

Falco's Catering's off-site catering is UNMATCHED! The best ever!

True story: We decided on a wedding date and began researching/booking vendors. When it came time to reach out to caterers, we asked Falco's Catering if they were available on the date we were asking for, found out they were booked, and we actually decided to move up our wedding date two weeks earlier in order to secure Falco's Catering for our special day (also had to go back and change our date with the other vendors) and Falco's Catering exceeded the hype!! They validated the best decision we made for our wedding and all of our guests agreed that Falco's Catering was excellent!

This is a family-owned business and they welcomed us in as members of their family with true professionalism and an unbelievable menu. They put together an outstanding taste testing night at The Renaissance months before the wedding where we got to meet the owner Stephen Falco, the maître d' for our wedding Lisa, and coincidentally also Lisa Porada who is the owner of Chocolate Carousel (they partner with Falco's Catering and provided our wedding cake and favors).

Stephen Falco came to a site visit and was an integral part in ensuring our tented wedding was laid out in the best possible way for us and our guests. He is genuinely the nicest man, a phenomenal chef, and the absolute best in the business. Alissa was a tremendous help via email communication and did an awesome job working with our wedding planner Brielle (I Do Wedding & Event Planning, LLC) and our tent rental company (Ocean Tents) to finalize rentals and our menu selections. She was with us from the very start.

On the day of the wedding, our guests raved about the food. As a wedding couple, you know that there is so much going on that you don't have much of a chance to take a break to eat, but our maître d' Lisa really went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of: We were eating and drinking all night! Lisa made sure our plates and glasses were full and all of our guests had wonderful things to say about Lisa and the Falco's Catering staff. Everything we tasted was delicious and we were so delighted to know that all of our guests were going home with full, happy bellies.

Falco's Catering is in a league of their own. Every other New Jersey catering service is playing catch up. If you're planning an event and you need catering, book Falco's Catering because it will be worth it! And be prepared to be flexible on your date because they are so good that they book up fast!

Sandy Hook Chapel Wedding

Falco’s Catering was AMAZING to work with for our wedding. It’s normally challenging and stressful to plan a wedding, but working with Falco’s made it as stress-free as possible.

From the initial communications with Alissa in setting up the big day, she was quick with responses and gave wonderful recommendations as we were trying to figure out the details for the big day. They were flexible in our menu selection so we could get steak, lobster and chicken & still have it as a sit down meal.

Our Maitre D, Lisa, and the whole catering team spotlessly executed all the details to make our special day so memorable. Everyone was raving about how good the food was and how friendly the whole staff was.

I would HIGHLY recommend using Falco’s to cater your wedding or upcoming events.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
