About

At Swoon Kitchenbar we believe in eating locally and seasonally as much as possible so that we can provide you with the freshest ingredients available. All of our food is sourced from local farms and growers and is organic whenever possible. Each menu we create is unique and designed specifically for your event with your wants and needs in mind.

We're not a large-scale catering company, but rather a fine dining restaurant with a boutique catering division. We consider ourselves a level above large-scale catering companies. Most often we cater events for people who eat at our restaurant, know our food, and trust us with their special occasions.

We are available for all of your wedding catering needs. Rehearsal dinners and receptions, both off-site or in our beautiful private dining room. Parties large and small. Please consider joining us for dinner while you're in the Hudson area.

Book now! Book now! :)

Working with Swoon was so easy and absolutely wonderful! Their prices are great compared to some of the other places in the area, and we fit comfortably with the 33 people we had. My husband and I never actually got to eat there before we had our rehearsal dinner there so we were of course nervous about it. The space was beautiful, and secluded (you do need to take the stairs up so keep that in mind), and we had our own bar and a little seating area too. The food was WONDERFUL! The staff were so attentive, and they were so kind and helpful. They walked around and poured wine, the bar was nice, and again the food was delicious! I am still dreaming about the dessert we had. All the meal options were great- the vegetarian option was very popular and everyone is still messaging me about the food. It truly was a wonderful experience and one of the top highlights of my wedding weekend and one of the best vendors I used for the entire weekend. It is a MUST for sure!

Swoon saves the day!

If not for Swoon, we probably would not have had our wedding celebration, nor would it have been a memorable one. Amy from Swoon saved us-- twice! Two months before our wedding celebration, we encountered major issues with our original caterer who was lacking in transparency and responsiveness. Amy, on the other hand, was incredibly professional and communicative when we contacted her to see if Swoon could provide our food and bar services at the last minute. It was a miracle that Swoon was able to accommodate our request. I guess it was meant to be! Amy was super organized and made everything easy in the midst of us feeling frenzied from the mess that our initial caterer created. She went above and beyond throughout the process, coordinating with the equipment rental company, setting us up with a few tastings when we visited the Swoon restaurant for lunch (everything was AMAZING), and she even responded promptly while she was out of the country on vacation! Everything was upfront regarding pricing and options, and the options looked so amazing that it was hard for us to choose! On the day-of, my husband and I were luckily able to eat during our celebration (the staff so graciously prepared plates for us) and we were impressed by how beautifully prepared and displayed everything was, from the passed appetizers and pre-plated salad to the buffet style dinner and dessert. Everything was so fresh! We were most notably surprised by how juicy the meat was. It is evident that the Swoon team takes the time to carefully craft their dishes. I can remember eating dinner that night while my father-in-law was discussing brunch for the next day, which Amy also helped schedule for us (this is the second time she saved us-- exactly what happens when your in-laws are last-minute planners)! Brunch at Le Perche, Swoon’s sister restaurant, was excellent as well. Go with Swoon if you want phenomenal food and service. We couldn’t have done it without them!

Delicious & Great to work with

We had a destination wedding. We picked Swoon based on a photo from their website. I was able to swing through while on a business trip and affirmed what we believed. The food was incredible. My only minor annoyance was that I had to find a supplier for the catering equipment. The folks at Swoon were helpful, but I would have paid a little more for them to just do it. Beyond that, they were really helpful and we navigated really well together.
