Love PAC so much!

We highly appreciated Caitlin and PAC team's support. They were easy to work with and support us throughout the whole wedding! Most importantly, the food and cocktail were extremely delicious including kids meals :) All of our guests highly praised them.

PAC Made Our Wedding Dreams Come True

We got married in September 2024 and used Park Avenue Catering for our wedding. We actually had attended a wedding the year before where PAC was the caterer and we raved about the food, and they came highly recommended from the bride/groom so we inquired with them on using them for ours. I had an introductory call with Anthony, and mind was made up to use them even just from that call. Their menu options was everything we were looking for, Anthony walked through all their services and the company (the staff had been there for years which is always a good sign), and was a pleasure to talk to. After booking them, we were so excited for what was to come - and that excitement was consistently reassured. From the active communication, responsiveness to questions, AMAZING food tasting, and calls prior to the wedding to ensure we were all set for the big day, PAC really goes above and beyond. As for the big day, it was everything we could have hoped for. The service was perfect, the flow of the drinks served, the quality of the food -- we were SO happy. Everyone was raving about how wonderful everything was. We highly recommend PAC for anyone's special day!!!

We even loved our own wedding food!

Usually wedding food is blah, not park avenue!
I just wanted to take a moment to express how much we enjoyed our experience with Park avenue catering. The food was absolutely delicious, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it.

We had the fall menu, and everything from the selection to managing changes in our guest count was handled with such professionalism. Caitlyn was particularly impressive; I highly recommend her if you have the opportunity to work with her!

She was incredibly accommodating to my ever-changing ideas and always made time to discuss everything, whether through email or phone calls. Her responsiveness and support truly made our planning process easier.
