Highly Recommend!!!

Harvest Real Food Catering was fantastic to work with! They were very involved from the day we hired them on, through the execution of our wedding day. They were very flexible and extremely helpful and willing to make our day as we envisioned. Additionally and most importantly, the food was fantastic and we still have guests raving about the dishes! I would highly recommend them to other brides and families.

Delicious and perfectly executed!

We had a fantastic experience with Harvest Real Food Catering! Kim and Michaele were lovely to work with, and their impressive project management skills made a huge difference. Kim was totally on top of planning each step of the way and kept the process on track, from the menu selection to rental coordination to seating chart to service timeline. Harvest also worked closely with our day-of coordinator and our venue to help make everything go smoothly. Kim arranged a secluded, private toast for us before we entered our cocktail hour, and it remains one of the most special moments of the day. Chef Mark absolutely delivered on the fresh, delicious menu. The entire staff was so kind, and they took good care of all our guests. We're so happy we decided to work with Harvest!

Great to work with

The caterers went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our wedding celebration! We had to reschedule and even go through a venue change but harvest real food catering was flexible and very helpful throughout the process. Also the food was so good, everyone in attendance loved it!

Best Wedding Food Around

Choosing Harvest for our wedding was a given because of their incredible menu. We had drop-off service and I worked with Kim for about a year getting the plans set. She was responsive and accommodating to everything I asked for and also guided me when I was unsure or had questions. The food arrived on time and was hot, fresh, and a hit with all of our guests. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the food and service, and I’d highly recommend Harvest for anyone who wants high-quality, locally relevant dishes.

Delicious food, professional service

Amy, Kim, and Chef Mark are the best! From our tasting, to coordinating with rental companies, to their food and service on the big day itself, the whole Harvest team truly was spectacular. Chef Mark and Kim organized an excellent tasting. Amy was so responsive to all of our questions and concerns in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding. The food at the wedding was excellent, and our guests continue to rave about how good it was. We even asked that Harvest serve, for an appetizer, a somewhat unknown kind of French street food to celebrate the bride’s heritage, and they totally nailed it. With Harvest, you’re getting real professionalism and excellent food at the same time.

We got married over Labor Day weekend this year and decided to go with Harvest Catering at Elmrock Inn for our Rehearsal Dinner. We had met Kimberly and her husband earlier in the wedding process and knew that this would be the perfect location for our dinner. We had a little less than 50 people and the space fit us perfectly. There were drinks on the porch and people were free to roam the backyard and mingle before the dinner. Then there was a buffet and we all sat together inside. I loved the location as we didn't have to worry about a rain plan, but were able to use both the outdoor and the indoor space. The space was comfortable while still being intimate.

We were able to pick from a few food and drink package options, while also having Kimberly open to our suggestions for menu changes here and there. The meal was delicious and the setting was perfect! I highly recommend booking with Harvest for anything from your rehearsal/event dinners to having them cater your wedding to them hosting AND catering your wedding! They can do it all and it was a pleasure to work with them.

Harvest Real Food Catering were amazing from start to finish. Chef Mark created and delivered an exquisite meal including chicken, steak and steelhead trout. The special drink for the wedding was delicious and a sumptuous carrot cake topped off the evening. The wait staff were amazing, attentive and thoughtful. I am particularly grateful to Kimberly for her help leading up to the wedding with rentals and coordinating with the florist. Thank you for making my wedding so beautiful.

I can't say enough about this amazing team. Food was a major player in our decision for a venue. We knew we wanted the food to be equally as memorable as the location and the service. Our menu was out of control. Just the most beautiful ingredients and the best of the Hudson Valley we could ask for. Mark really listened to what we were interested in and just made amazing happen. The entire process was a dream working with Kim. She made things very clear and simple for us. Our day of coordinator, Amy, met with us the night before to get a feel for how we wanted the night to flow and it was spot on. Everything was a dream, even in the pouring rain (which thankfully cleared up for our after party bon-fire). We had the greatest time. I'll be smiling for ever, feels like.

We loved Harvest!!! Excellent food, excellent team, excellent service. We were married on December 9th, we had the first snow storm of the season that day, there was never a doubt that they couldn't make it. Kimberley and Chef Mark came with smiles and Chef Mark assured us that snow was good luck :-). They and their staff were accommodating, friendly and personable. They all had a can do attitude. and made us feel very comfortable and at ease assuring us we were in good hands, which we were. They from the start when we visited their loverly Inn in the country for a tasting, made us feel welcome and comfortable. The best compliment we can give is that a month after the wedding we are still hearing from our guests how delicious the food was and what great service they provided. We can not say enough good things about Harvest, we will definitely be visiting the Inn.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Mark and Kim from Harvest Real Food Catering and Events are a perfect pair; he, a talented chef who turns out some of the most delicious foods I have ever tasted; she, a focused detail oriented planner who knows what it takes to pull off a flawless event. As a florist I'm always on hand for the set-up segment of an event...a time when you can get a real feel for just how efficient a catering team is; Harvest is always on time or early for their set-ups, there is never a feeling of stress or being"in the weeds" and their staff is always pleasant and excited about each event. Follow -up conversations with clients always reveal that once again Harvest Real Food went above and beyond what was expected. I think you will be thrilled with the services of Harvest Real Food Catering & Events.
