Perfect party with delicious food!

I cannot say enough great things about Gracious Thyme Catering! They recently coordinated and catered my sister's engagement party, and the experience was absolutely flawless. The food was simply incredible—every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and had our guests raving all night. The level of professionalism displayed by their staff was incredible; they were attentive, courteous, and made sure everything ran smoothly. It was such a pleasure working with their team from start to finish—they made the entire planning process stress-free. If you're looking for a catering company that truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Gracious Thyme!"

Go with Gracious Thyme; you won't regret it

Lawren and her team made our wedding absolutely incredible. Gracious Thyme consistently went above and beyond in facilitating the event, from the first phases of planning to the moment the last decoration was packed.

At least a dozen guests told us that ours was the best wedding they'd ever attended — we owe that entirely to Gracious Thyme's attention to detail, friendly staff, and inspired decisions.

The first thing my husband said to me after our wedding was, "I'm really gonna miss talking to Lawren at Gracious Thyme." When was the last time you felt that way about a caterer?

I highly recommend Gracious Thyme!

We could not have asked for more. From the early planning stages to our big day, my husband and I felt like we were in the best hands. Our wedding day was outside on one of the hottest May days in history, but all our guests could talk about were the refreshing cucumber cocktails, the delicious food, and the incredible service provided by Gracious Thyme! Thank you again to GT for making our wedding day so special and care free!

A flawless catering experience

There aren't enough words in this box to explain how grateful we are for the experience Gracious Thyme provided for our winter wedding in Brooklyn. From the tasting experience in the summer to the final touches that night, everything was executed to perfection. I have rarely been to weddings where the food was memorable but we have received countless compliments about the quality of the food and service. They are flexible and thoughtful when designing your menu and overall look and are willing to work with other vendors as needed. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Working with Lisa was an absolute pleasure. I live in SF and was getting married in NYC with a four-month engagement, and really needed a caterer who I could be in touch with remotely. She responded to email promptly, helped design a dream menu, and even sent me macaroons as a consolation when I couldn't fly to NYC for the tasting (my lucky fiance got to go). The food was delicious, the place settings were lovely, and the servers were gracious and helpful. Highly recommend.

We worked with Nancy Scocozza and she was amazingly helpful with planning the menus and coordinating the rentals. The food is wonderfully delicious, and the professionalism of their entire staff was commented on by many of our guests. The chef even worked with us beforehand to prepare a special hors d'oeuvre that is a favorite of ours, and we were able to serve it to our guests. Everything with Gracious Thyme was a pleasure, and they were also very helpful in working with us to stay within our budget. We would highly recommend them to anyone.
