My husband and I had Purslane cater our wedding a few weeks ago and we couldn't be happier with our decision! From the start, Purslane was wonderful to work with and very open to catering their menu to fit us and our wedding. We wanted a floating cocktail style event and Purslane was totally on board with this. In addition, my husband's family is from Jamaica so we were interested in having Jamaican food served. The chef was happy to do this for us and made Jamaican food for the first time for us at our tasting. My husband is much more of an expert on Jamaican food than I am, but he was very pleased with the results. What's even better is that all of his Jamaican family (and our other guests) absolutely loved the Jamaican food we served at the wedding. Purslane and the chef went all out, offering a Jamaican menu of jerked chicken, braised oxtail, plantains, rice, beans, fish ceviche, and chicharron. We were absolutely blown away by the passed apps and were told by so many guests how great they were! We absolutely loved the watermelon bites and tuna tacos. We also had passed tacos which were delicious and dessert bites. One guest told us that she followed the servers around to get as many of the churros as she could. Finally, we had a late night nacho bar which sadly I did not get to try (the whole "the bride and groom forget to eat" thing is sadly so true!) but I was told by someone that it was the best nachos they have ever had. We were repeatedly told by our guests how amazing all of the different foods we served were. In fact one friend said that she was so impressed by the passed apps during the cocktail hour that she made sure to eat as much as she could during our wedding and get seconds of everything. Purslane's coordinators were incredibly helpful and wonderful to work with and the staff who ran our wedding were friendly and very professional. We truly cannot thank Purslane enough for making our day such a special, and delicious, one!

Everything at Purslane was top-notch. Planning a wedding is quite stressful - there are so many moving parts and so many details to stress, so nothing is more crucial than clear communication, which is what we experienced with Elena from Purslane from beginning to end. We went through several different iterations of our catering plan and Elena was incredibly helpful and transparent throughout, helping us ultimately find a plan that we were delighted with. At our final site visit at the Prospect Park Boathouse, Elena helped us think through the pacing of our walks and many other practical details. Everything in terms of day-of execution was impeccable. Thank you Purslane for a dream wedding!

Yes delicious food but even more than that good food ~selection~ and even more than THAT excellet, excellent committment as professionals to our outstanding event (vs. just completing the contract)
