About

We know what you're thinking.. “What does 'Grace & Grit' mean?”

The answer is simple; when thinking of the necessary qualities needed to cater a memorable event, two words come to mind:

Grace ...under pressure. Hosting off premise celebrations is a very detailed and ornate work of art that can bring one to the brink and back.. It is our policy to face any stress, hiccup or disaster with poise. Our goal is to have already fixed a problem before you ever even know it exists. Which brings us to...

Grit ... to make it all happen! On your special day, we want to deliver your dream come true. In order for all aspects of an event to seamlessly come together, it takes months of planning and preparation for our team to fearlessly take on any changes or challenges that may arise.

When Grace meets Grit, our ideas, values and skills come together to celebrate a day made just for you.

Unique Menu that WOW-ed Guests !

We worked with Grace & Grit for a Raw Bar, Passed Appetizers and Buffet Style Dinner.
Our guests were so impressed with the unique appetizers (esp the duck wraps) and loved the fresh raw bar. Our event was in the Hamptons (which gets tricky with permits and what is allowed by the town). Grace & Grit helped to navigate our event permits, which was not easy since our venue was semi-new.
They were super easy to work with and helped us plan our dream menu.

Exceptional Experience!

We got married in September 2020 at the North Fork, and had the pleasure of working with Samantha Payne-Markel and her team at Grace & Grit. Needless to say, during a pandemic, the stresses of wedding planning are amplified, added on by the changes needed in a relatively short span of time, however, we could not have asked for a more responsive, flexible, reliable, and pleasurable catering experience. And most importantly-- delicious! Samantha and her team were with us from beginning to end, working hand in glove to create the vision we wanted, providing suggestions that met that vision, customizing the menu over the course of our planning, and adapting with us as we needed to scale things back due to the pandemic. Even on the wedding day we felt supported. The team went above and beyond to create the vineyard wedding experience we imagined, despite the changes. Every staff working the event was gracious, hospitable, and flexible throughout. We received numerous comments from our attendees on the high caliber service and the diversity of mouthwatering food. And we agree! We highly recommend Grace & Grit for your dream event. You won't be disappointed!

Incredible Food for an Incredible Event

Samantha and her team were on top of every single want and need for the entire wedding weekend. From our very first tasting to packing up leftovers for our trip home after our Goodbye Brunch, Grace & Grit was incredible. The food was amazing, the staff ensured we ate before the ceremony, on our way to photos after the ceremony, and during the reception. They went out of their way to ensure people with allergies did not come in contact with anything that could cause issue. They also made sure to give us extra chicken and waffles because they are the most addicting food item known to man. Highly recommend.

"Best wedding food ever"

Samantha and Adam were a pleasure to work with. They had good ideas and were flexible when asked for adaptations. The passed hors d'oeuvres sold us on them and proved to be a hit at the wedding. The main courses might have been even better. Several guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. To top it off, the signature drinks were refreshing, interesting and perfect for a summer wedding.

My partner and I got married this past August and Grace & Grit catered our wedding. We can’t say enough how incredible the whole Grace & Grit team is. Stephanie and Samantha walked us through all the planning steps and along with head chef JenniLee, they helped us create the perfect pescatarian menu. They helped us add all of the personal touches we were hoping for, including an espresso bar and a grilled cheese late night snack!

During the wedding, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They made sure our grandparents and our friends with dietary restrictions were cared for. Many of our guests told us how their servers were always setting them up with whatever they needed. We loved that the staff were excited for us and looked like they were able to have fun and dance their way through the meal prep, delivery, and clean-up process. We would absolutely recommend you use Grace & Grit for every event you need catered!

*Queer friendly vendor*

We can’t speak more highly about the Grace and Grit team. From start to finish, they helped us create a flawless experience for our wedding day. We had high expectations but Grace and Grit exceeded them at every turn - from the perfectly tailored October seasonal menu, to the detailed (but not overwhelming) planning along the way. Steph, Sam, Joe and Chef Jenni delivered on the big day and we just couldn’t have done it without them. Each dish was unique and delicious, and our guests raved about the food, drinks and service. Many thanks. Highly recommend working with this team.

Grace and grit catered our wedding at breeze hill farm in June. People are still talking about the incredible service and absolutely delicious food. The bartenders were awesome and easily able to handle the 160 guests. The waitstaff made sure my husband and I didn't miss anything, including the pig roast. Hands down some of the best food i've ever eaten. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Have worked with and seen events in process for years, have attended weddings as a guest and each time it is truly magical how the food presentation and taste is by far better than any wedding I've ever attended. Food is taken care of with this vendor not a worry on your plate.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
