Night Kitchen Catering

There are no words to describe how phenomenal our experience was with Night Kitchen. In the early stages of wedding planning, we had tastings with three separate caterers so that we could be sure to deliver a top-notch dining experience to our guests. We didn't just want the food to be good - we wanted it to be fantastic. Despite the fact that each of the caterers we tried was very highly rated, there really wasn't much contest - we knew after trying all of them that Night Kitchen was our caterer without a doubt. Chef Aaron was so thoughtful about creating a tasting menu just for us based on our wedding vibe. Our wedding theme was inspired by the roaring 20s/Great Gatsby, so we wanted an opulent feel to the menu. In particular, the passed hors d'oeurves Chef Aaron and his team came up with were exquisite (the caviar deviled eggs, saffron arancini with parsley pesto, tuna tartare on sushi rice cake, and mac and camembert with fried kale were probably my favorites, but they were all delicious beyond words). They also created a family-style menu for the main course including two proteins (hanger steak with duck fat fried potato roses and shug; Zaatar seared salmon with miso tahini) complemented by four vegetarian side dishes, plus a salad (kale Caesar salad with brown buttered croutons) and fresh bread course. So many of our guests absolutely raved about the quality of the food, even some of my family members who are very tough critics!

It was also such a wonderful perk that they offer in-house day-of coordination services. We were so happy to have Angela helping us with the details as the wedding approached - I truly don't know what we would have done without her attention to detail. She came up with a "run of show" day-of schedule early in our process with her which totally demystified how the day would go and what we needed to do to make sure we had all of our ducks in a row. Just knowing she was there making everything go smoothly was so reassuring.

Hiring Night Kitchen was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. We are so grateful to Chef Aaron, Angela, and their entire team. If you book them for your event, I'm certain you will be equally blown away.

If we were to re-do our wedding all over again, Night Kitchen would be the first vendor that we’d sign in a heartbeat! All of our guests raved about the food, and they were incredibly easy and professional to work with. Additionally, Chef Aaron and the Night Kitchen team pay incredible attention to detail and ensure that everything from numerous dietary restrictions to fussy-eaters are covered. One of the things we were particularly impressed by was that Chef Aaron really took the feedback we gave him during our tasting seriously and the food at our wedding was even better than what we had at the tasting!

A Night Kitchen review wouldn’t be complete without giving a shout-out to Angela, the in-house day-of coordinator. The days and weeks leading up to the wedding were and will always be a literal blur, and Angela was key to our sanity by being the point person between all of our vendors and making sure that our event went off without a hitch.

We absolutely recommend working with Chef Aaron, Angela, and the Night Kitchen team for your event–you won’t regret it!

Let me start this review off by saying that I met with a friend a day after our wedding in September, and before he could say hello he mentioned the delicious white rice that accompanied his salmon entree. This was the white rice– can you only imagine what everything else tasted like?!

We prioritized finding the perfect caterer when we first started wedding planning. To me, great food is the most important thing to have at a wedding. We contacted Night Kitchen and actually spoke to Chef Aaron himself. He and Angela arranged a tasting within 5 days of contacting them, and my husband and I had the most incredible meal at their Brooklyn kitchen. Angela was a dream to work with. She is organized, helpful, and her communication was excellent.

We live in NYC and we are used to eating at fantastic restaurants. The food at our wedding was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. We asked for a Asian- Italian fusion to reflect our cultural backgrounds and they DELIVERED. Every single guest we’ve spoken to after the wedding raved about the quality and quantity of the food. People literally close their eyes when recalling the hors d’oeuvres they had.

If anyone is looking for a caterer, please do yourselves a favor and ONLY contact Night Kitchen. Chef Aaron and Angela are one of the nicest people we’ve met. We look forward to our next event so that we can eat their food again.
