We LOVED working with Lola's - and both on our wedding day and after, so many guests have come up to us and said it's the best wedding food they ever had. My husband and I got married in Ghent NY at The Barn at Liberty Farms last week and working with Lola's was a dream. We first heard about them when touring venues in the Hudson Valley and their name came up again and again as a standard of excellence - and I remembered going to the cafe in Poughkeepsie when I was younger for their amazing peanut noodles. We knew we wanted to do food stations (e.g. a taco bar, a BBQ station, etc) and not all caterers would work with us or understood the vision (they were more comfortable with the 3 options of plated, family style, or traditional buffet) but in talking with catering director Michaela she immediately got it and riffed on the idea with us. In the end, we decided on three stations in the theme of His, Hers, and Ours to highlight some of our favorite foods individually and as a couple - His (Southern/BBQ) had delicious brisket, chicken sliders, collards etc; Hers (Hudson Valley seasonal) had an heirloom tomato nectarine salad, peanut noodles, Aleppo dusted salmon, etc. and Ours was an amazing taco bar. Lola's also worked with us to do such fun and delicious cocktail hour food - a stationary mezze table and cheese/fruit board that was instagrammed by many guests and the most fun/delicious lineup of pass hors d'oeuvres - mini cheesecakes with milkshake shooters, mini gazpacho cups, salmon tartare spoons and several others. I can't stress enough how delicious all of the food was, but even better was working with Michaela and Eddie. We did a tasting in spring 2021 and in addition to loving the food, just loved their warmth and great attitudes. Michaela is the most competent and on top of everything thought partner in the business and my fiance and I said to each other throughout the process how much we appreciated her. They also handled food restrictions SO well - I am allergic to dairy and they actually basically made everything without dairy except some of the passed apps and cheese on the side of tacos, which I don't think anyone noticed, and they made a couple of guests with severe food allergies feel so much more comfortable than they usually do when eating out. We cannot recommend Lola's highly enough - go book them for your wedding!!!

I cannot speak highly enough of Eddie, Michaela, and the entire team at Lola's Weddings & Events. They catered our wedding at Gather Greene in the Hudson Valley and we were truly blown away. We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding food they've ever had, with perfectly cooked halibut and steak for 140 guests. Eddie and Michaela worked together to devise the menu of our dreams. My husband and I are both veg-forward but we wanted to provide our guests with a fresh, locally sourced menu. They really delivered - we had an oyster bar that was freshly shucked on site, a beautiful mezze and charcuterie spread, the list goes on. The Lola's team was also so attentive to us throughout the day, always making sure we had what we needed. Look no further than Lola's for a wedding caterer! You will not be disappointed!

Lola’s is absolutely the best! Everyone on their team was so thoughtful and down to earth and incredibly organized. So, just for that, they were wonderful to work with. But now, THE FOOD! We got married almost a month ago now and our guests are still talking about an appetizer they ate, or the main course, or the honey-rosemary-butter (!!!) It is so rare to have good food at a wedding, but this wasn’t just good, it was amazing!! Every single dish was incredibly well composed, fresh, and delicious. Hire Lola’s for your wedding! You will be so happy you did :)

What an unbelievable experience working with Lola's! My husband and I are big foodies, and knew we wanted a fun menu with a range of options that reflected this. We're talking everything from a raw bar and tuna tartar to chicken & waffles, NY style chopped cheese, mini sausage & pepper sandwiches and an entire Japanese station with steamed bao buns and fried rice in Chinese take-out containers—and that was JUST cocktail hour!

For our reception, we had plated dinner where guests could choose from NY Strip, Branzino, or Ricotta Gnocchi. Each dish was absolutely delicious. Our guests are STILL raving about how incredible our wedding food was, but the real highlight were the fried oreos for dessert. YES, you heard that right - FRIED OREOS!!! Our guests could not get over these and thought it was so cool that we had them passed around while they danced the night away.

As the bride, my only regret was not eating more!!

If you're looking for a unique, fresh, creative spin on food for your wedding, look no further than Lola's. Eddie and Michaela GET IT and will create a wonderful menu that will knock your socks off. HIGHLY recommend!!!

If you need a caterer for an event and you’re on the fence about using Lola’s, just do it. I promise you won’t regret it. Michaela, Eddie, and team went above and beyond for our wedding this year. The food was amazing—people could not stop talking about it. Michaela was my point of contact throughout the entire process and she made me feel at ease every step of the way. You can tell that she really cares about her clients. While we were bummed she couldn’t be there the day of, Dawn was our events coordinator and she was AMAZING. From set up through breakdown Dawn and team made us feel so well taken care of. Truly a dream. Michaela and Dawn made our wedding perfectly seamless and we would have been lost without them. I have nothing but good things to say about the entire Lola’s team. I would use them again and again.

I seriously cannot recommend Lola’s enough for your next event. My husband and I are BIG foodies. We love going out to eat and trying new food. Lola’s gave us literally the best food we could have ever asked for at our wedding. The professionalism and care that they exhibited the whole day blew everyone away. When I ask my guests about my wedding they always bring up the food and the drinks!! They helped customize our menu to exactly what we wanted and by using the freshest, most delicious food in the Hudson Valley! My husband and I knew we were in good hands when we spoke to Eddie about our menu. His knowledge and passion for food shines through with even just one conversation with him. Michaela, who is the head of event catering at Lola’s was also so extremely accommodating and was so good at giving us advice and recommendations. Her experience and knowledge on how to plan a large event while catering to every guest was spot on and very much appreciated!! Our catering manager on the day of was Patty, and we were SO lucky to have her!!! She made sure from start to finish to bring us drinks, food, and always with pleasure and happiness. Patty executed our wedding flawlessly. We love you so much Patty!! Thank you!! If you are looking for a unique, one of a kind caterer to blow your guests away with the quality of their food, drinks, and professionalism look no further! The reason everyone says Lola’s is the best is because they truly ARE!

Lola's absolutely nailed the catering, the best wedding food I've ever had. The menu is fresh, seasonal and cooked perfect! Everyone was raving about the appetizers and the entree's. Being in recovery the fact that they offered mocktails and featured them at the bar was AMAZING. Everyone in and out of recovery absolutely loved them. The professionalism of the staff was also top notch. Each one I talked to seemed so nice and professional. Would absolutely recommend.

Lola’s was one of the best decisions we made for vendors at our wedding. We ended up postponing in due to Covid and they stuck with us the entire time! Michaela and Eddie absolutely delivered every detail we asked for and were very responsive leading up to the big day, dealing with my many questions and emails! The food - was exquisite- from a raw bar to late night bites to a massive cocktail hour and incredible seasonal entrees and bar service - the staff led by Michaela made our day so smooth! If you are getting married in the Hudson Valley, there is no other caterer I can recommend more.

We had a big crowd with many details and felt like VIPs the entire night! Thank you so much to Michaela and Eddie and their entire crew!

RUN, DON'T WALK, to hire Lola's as your wedding caterer. It was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. They are professional, amicable, flexible, and we worked seamlessly together. Make sure you have Michaela working with you. She basically double-timed as a wedding planner and day-of coordinator for us and she is such an incredible person. Lola's food tastes great and is presented as works of art. I had a 250 person wedding and the execution of the meals was perfect. There was not one mistake, and that is a pretty big wedding!! It was seamless! All in all, they were fantastic and I can't stress enough how much you should choose Lola's for your wedding. You will not regret it!

I cannot say enough about how fabulous my experience with Lola's. I worked with Michaela and Eddie. They catered the entire wedding, start to finish. My location was an a la carte venue so integration with food, rentals and venue was essential. Everything was perfect, food was presented beautifully, temperature appropriate, and delicious. The signature drinks were fantastic and the bar was very well run, both for the wedding proper and the after party. We had a lot of allergies and they accommodated seamlessly. Staff was superb. The dessert, which we begged them to take on, was stellar (cookies on the tables and homemade ice cream!) and highlighted the entire evening. OH! And the pizza truck! For the after party, they made fresh, out of the oven pizzas that were to die for! I didn't think people would eat pizza after a whole meal and dessert but they were GONE, also with rave reviews! People are still talking about the food and dessert and it's been weeks. I rarely write reviews, but had to take the time to let everyone know how much I would recommend Lola's as your caterer.
