Excellent Catering

We absolutely recommend Sugar and Spice Catering. They really went above and beyond. We really wanted to prioritize good food in out wedding and our guests were very particular about their food and they all loved it. They put so much time and effort in doing our decorations and kept everything organized. The service was amazing, too.

Best food at a wedding ever

Sugar and spice catering is nothing short of remarkable. Over a week after our wedding I still have friends and relatives raving about the food and many saying it was the best food at a wedding they have ever had (and I agree with them). Working with Billy is amazing as you really feel that he is there for you throughout the whole process. He would constantly check in to see if we need anything and worked with us to design an unforgettable menu. Any issues that arose were dealt with swiftly by their team and all of the staff there on the day of the event were kind and helpful. Additionally, their prices were more than reasonable allowing for us to add extras and still stay below competitors' prices. They really go the extra mile and make you feel like your wedding is the only wedding they will ever work on. Can not recommend it enough to anyone getting married or having an event in the Hudson Valley!

Accommodating, helpful staff and personalized delicious food

Billy and his team at Spice Catering worked with my husband and I to bring our somewhat specific dream menu come to life (his family is half Chinese, half Filipino and I am vegan). They even came to our rehearsal to make sure everything would run smoothly, and the staff had cocktails and snacks waiting for my husband and I after the ceremony. Everyone raved about the food. I honestly can't think of anything that could have been better.

Vow Renewal and Anniversary Celebration

Hello Billy,
Ralph and I can't thank you enough for making our anniversary celebration a success. You worked with us all the way and it made it a perfect day in every way.
As I said many times, you helped me keep my sanity in check. I couldn't have done it without you and your calming demeanor and your love for what you do.
Everyone raved about the food from the start of the cocktail hour with appetizers right through the dinner. We actually have requests for some of your recipes!
Please pass along our thanks to Kate and Jessica for a terrific job of taking care of all the little details that mattered so much to us. We received many compliments of your staff being so caring and attentive. You and your staff were just amazing from start to finish.
You were right! We had nothing to worry about as everything was handled well. We look forward to seeing you again.

All the best.
Ralph and Diane

Spice catering is a wedding dream come true

Spice Catering is a wedding dream come true. Billy, Brandon and the entire Spice Catering team are diligent, detail oriented, and we’re truly invested in making sure our day went perfectly - and it did! From Day 1 Billy treated us like family. I called him all the way back in September 2020, almost a full 2 years (COVID engagement) before our actual wedding day. The moment we talked through my vision I knew I was working with an expert in the craft, and the kindest human being. These two things kept things moving and warmed our hearts through what can be a stressful process again and again.

In the weeks leading up to the wedding we worked more and more with Brandon who is an absolutely super hero of a human. Brandon is organized, has fantastic communication skills, and works to get every last detail from the timing to the decorations to the people movement absolutely perfect. People kept telling me “be prepared for things to go wrong” but you know what, they DIDN’T. The Spice team works tirelessly to keep people’s glasses full, their appetizers bottomless, and the timeline flawless.

If you’re on the fence, do yourself the favor to just sign with Spice. A direct quote from one of our guests was “there are good weddings, and there are excellent weddings, but this wedding might be one of the best ones I’ve been to.”

Excellent Caterer!

Billy and his team were incredible to work with throughout the whole wedding planning process! The food was delicious and complemented by all of our guests. Beyond the food they also helped us with coordinating rental company and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. The Maitre'd services were such a huge help for us because we did not have a day-of-coordinator or planner. Helene and Leanne were so helpful in coordinating all of the logistics and ensuring the day ran smoothly. We are so happy that we chose Billy and his team for our wedding catering!

Bravo from a grateful Venue Owner!

I own a wedding venue (The Barn at Black Walnut Farm in Saugerties), and because we don't offer in-house catering, we rely on outside catering businesses to provide the food for our events. As you can imagine, a couple's choice of caterer can make or break a wedding-- and we have seen it all; the good, the bad, and the ugly...

That said, we were all simply blown away by Spice Catering's team, service, and food! Honestly the service was flawless and probably the best we have seen at our venue-- Erick the Maitre D' was nothing less than a true pro and really impressed us all! Kate at the bar is amazing, and every team member we got to interact with had the best attitude. And, to top it off, Chef Billy's food was phenomenal.

After the event was over, I learned that the crew unfortunately had a faulty oven rental that needed to be switched out mid-event, so I was even more impressed that they pulled it off so seamlessly! The logistics of providing offsite catering can be a challenge-- and knowing that Spice Catering has mastered this makes me so confident in recommending them to all of our couples.
Bravo, Spice Catering team, we can't wait to have you back at our venue again soon!

Everyone was raving

Sugar and Spice went above and beyond my wedding. From day one, I'm sure I was annoying with all of my requests. My siblings own a bar, I own a bakery so there were a lot of things I wanted them to adjust for me. Right off the bat, they were more than willing to do anything I requested, one of them being to have my siblings supply the bar service. Yeah, I thought it was a great idea, and Billy, Kate and Leann were ready to help in any way, giving advice on how to do it, you know, since they are literally the experts. We quickly started to realized we were in over our heads. 3 months before the wedding I panic emailed Billy and asked if they could still do the bar, and he and Kate worked their magic and got us the bar we wanted, with the specialty drinks we wanted, and the specialty alcohol we wanted, all with a great price and an amazing attitude. BUT that's not even the best part about Sugar and Spice.

When my husband and I went for our tasting, we were absolutely blown away. Everything was AMAZING. I don't like fish, but we wanted to offer it at the wedding, so I had to try it, and I even liked it!! I also have a few vegans in my family, and Billy was so prepared for that, it tasted so good. The chicken and steak were OUT OF THIS WORLD. We did not expect the food to be this amazing at the wedding since we are just 2 people and the wedding was 150 people.... we were SO wrong. The food was just as good, if not better! Everyone was raving about how the food was hot, fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. And I'll have you know, it was a torrential downpour, they were cooking under a tent outside with a portable kitchen, the buses were over an hour late, so all of the events were now also an hour late! I mean, come on, how is that even possible!! Absolutely so impressed. To top it all off, we had ordered so many cocktail hour food items, and everyone was raving about everything! Mac and Cheese Station, Sliders, Soup Shooters, and so much more! I could go on forever about the food, but I promise, you will never be disappointed!!! Billy has some serious talent.

Now on to the background planning. Billy and Leann were so great in this department. They were there with us through every step with all the advice we could need and all of the assistance they could give. I said I wanted to make and decorate my own cake, they said sure just let us know flavors and size. I said we make our own coffee and would love to serve it, and they just told us how to they needed it ground. I said I wanted to create my own centerpieces and they said make up a prototype and have everything in a box and we will recreate it on all of the tables. They went so above and beyond. I honestly couldn't be any happier with the way they made my wedding turn out. The day before the wedding, I was feeling so overwhelmed with all of the tasks that needed to be done, and when Billy and Leann showed up at the venue, it felt like they washed away all of my stress, and gave so much assurance that they had this under control. And they did. Wonderful people, wonderful company, highly recommend!!

Wonderful experience

I can not say enough about Billy, Andrea, Isabel and staff. They are very professional and helped out on a personal level. They were accommodating to not only the adults, but the kids and my dog. Everything went so smooth, from when I first inquired about catering till they had all the chairs and tables stacked for the tent company. (Which they also had coordinated). They even made sure my husband sat down to eat. The food was excellent. Our guests kept talking about how good the food was, how each appetizer that came out was better the the last.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
