When I thought about what kind of food we wanted for our upstate New York wedding at Gather Greene, I knew I wanted something farm to table and family style. We looked at several vendors, but nothing felt quite right until we found Fancy Girl. Living in California, and planning the wedding during the height of the pandemic, we ended up having to book catering before even tasting the food. Because our planners hadn’t worked with Fancy Girl before, we relied heavily on Wedding Wire and Knot reviews when making our pick and I’m not going to lie and say I wasn’t a little nervous doing so. So I’m here to tell anyone in even remotely the same boat that you WILL NOT REGRET hiring Jeanette and her team. When I wanted to create an off menu salad to celebrate the tastes of summer (heirloom tomato, peach, basil, and burrara), Jeanette didn’t even blink. She just created the freshest, most delicious salad with the ripest tomatoes and peaches from nearby farms, and creamiest burrata I’ve ever had. When we saw the menu and saw pigs in a blanket and a shot of beer, we thought how freaking cute is that (spoiler alert: our guests LOVED them and couldn’t get enough of the tiny beer mugs). We’ve heard more times than we can count now how our food was the best meal anyone has ever had at a wedding, and while we couldn’t agree more, I’d also add that frankly it was just incredible food period. I’d pay good money any day of the week for the cedar planked salmon or tender short ribs or fusilli that must have had crack in it I couldn’t get enough. And though we originally intended to have only s’mores for dessert, when Jeanette tossed in some caramel bars during our eventual tasting, we couldn’t help but add those to the menu. They were, in a word, delicious. There’s so much more I could say, like what a big smile we had on our faces when our planners told us Jeanette was foraging the day before for our wedding, or how the food was not only incredibly delicious but also INSANELY beautifully presented, but I’ll try to keep this brief and just say Fancy Girl helped make our day positively perfect and anyone would be lucky to have Jeanette and crew on their team.

Every single guest we have seen since the wedding has made a point to RAVE about the food we had. Fancy Girl did an incredible job at taking our random thoughts and ideas and creating a cohesive meal that was able to accomodate every one of our dietary restrictions, from a vegetarian who is also allergic to mushrooms, to gluten free needs. Most impressively, not a single person with dietary restriction felt like they were missing out in any way. Everything that made it onto the table was fresh, delicious, and perfectly presented. Jeanette also took excellent care of our vendors, and was so good about keeping everything on schedule and running smoothly.

Hands down the best food ever - Jeanette and her team are amazing! My husband and I are major foodies and we knew the food had to be the best thing at our wedding at Crested Hen Farms in High Falls NY. We had an unfortunate circumstance and had to get a new caterer less than 2 months to the wedding. And we realized it was a blessing is disguise because Jeanette was amazing and her food and her service exceeded our expectations. She was so helpful and responsive throughout the whole process and we couldn't be happier. She was flexible and open with our menu options and helped us tailor the whole menu to the way we wanted it.

Every single one of our guests compliment the staff and food and said how AMAZING the food was and still continues to compliment 2+ weeks after the wedding. Our menu consisted of an amazing beet/granola salad, rosemary lemon chicken (best chicken I ever had, no joke) Hanger steak (omg amazing), smashed potatoes, cornbread and roasted carrots with pumpkin brittle. The desserts, WOW - chocolate milk shooters with mini chocolate chip cookies, bourbon popcorn brownies & carrot cake whoopie pies -they were all amazing!!! But not only did the food taste good, the plating was so beautiful presented and went perfect with our rustic romantic theme.

I can go on and on but if you book Jeanette and Fancy Girl Catering, you will not be disappointed and it will be the best decision you make for your wedding.
