Halloween Wedding of Our Dreams

We hired Palms Plaza to cater for our wedding, and we are nothing short of grateful that we did! From the first initial meeting with Margo, leading up to the big day working with them was seamless & stress free. Margo goes above and beyond to see that all your needs are met, and the job gets done. They know what they're doing when it comes to weddings and can answer any questions you have & offer great advice if you're indecisive on anything. Literally anything you need; they make it happen. They offer a large variety of options to choose from, we went with their full-service stations package that offers a full spread from fruit platters to meat carving stations. The food quality is exceptional, we are 3 weeks post wedding day, and our guests are still raving about how amazing all the food was! Their servers and bartenders are attentive, polite and professional. There wasn't a time I sat at my sweetheart table when I wasn't approached by one of the servers asking if I needed anything. Although we didn't have much time to eat, there was consistently a spread of food on the table for us to snack in between dancing & photos. We can't say enough great things about Palms, they are number one on my recommendation list for any occasion. If you're looking for a caterer for your wedding, they are the ONLY right choice you won't regret it!

Say YES to Palms Plaza Catering!

I got married last weekend in Brooklyn, NY, and used Palms Plaza for my off-premise wedding catering (they’re based in Matawan, NJ). While planning our wedding, my now husband and I knew that food was one aspect of our wedding day that we did not want to mess up. I can 100% say all of our guests were blown away by not only the amount of food offered, but by the quality of taste and service provided by Palms staff. So many of our guests (many of whom traveled from all over the country) complimented the food and said they had to pace themselves during cocktail hour because they were excited for dinner. On top of that, my guests really appreciated the prompt and polite service of Palms staff, along with the beautiful presentation of food during cocktail hour and dinner. Aside from their stellar service, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention this…Palms traveled from NJ to northern Brooklyn and executed a flawless catering event in a space they’ve never worked in before. Allen, Margo, and their team are true professionals who can execute outstanding events outside of their premises. Our wedding day truly wouldn’t have been as special as it was without Palms Plaza, and I know our guests had a wonderful experience because of their team. If you’re looking for wedding catering, or any event catering, look no further than Palms Plaza!

Incredible- from start to finish!

couldn’t have asked for anything better. First,
I’ll start off by saying my husband is in the industry and has worked at nearly every venue in the tri-state area. When we started thinking of who to use for our 300 guest outdoor wedding at a camp, It was a no brainer! Margo- is a BOSS and can take on any challenge. I walked in clueless and she held my hand every step of the way. She was honest on what guests cared about and what I could skip. We got the most food BY FAR than any other caterer- they brought trays and trays extra and were so overly accommodating— I mean- it doesn’t get better than Alan and Margo @ Palms.

Lobster bar- awesome
Clam bar- awesome
Mashed potato bar- also awesome
S’more station- kids loved it

Everyone had nothing but great things to say. Palms took care of every detail. Table cloths, rustic elements added, multiple site visits, they even wrote our initials in the fruit 🤩❤️. Margo set all the tables for me, which looked amazing.

We also had my daughters first communion here, on site which was also perfect. We have always and will continue to recommend to anyone and everyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
