The best caterer

We were lucky enough to have Kim and Lily and The Rose cater our wedding, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Kim’s artistry and creativity shined through in creating a food menu that incorporated all of our favorites. We had a slightly unusual wedding day, featuring an additional stop before the reception, and Kim was more than happy to create the perfect menu to accompany the entire event. At the end of the day, our guests raved to us about how fantastic the food was from start to end — Kim even incorporated some of our more specific asks like a custom Pimm’s Cup drink, craft beers, tea sandwiches, gluten free options and much more. Her team were absolutely a pleasure to work with leading up to and on the day of our wedding. Above all, we feel privileged to have met someone during our wedding planning process who cares deeply about us. In the many phone calls, Zoom calls, in-person meetings that go into planning a wedding, Kim took the time to really get to know us as people and as a couple. Not only did we have food that people raved about, but we also feel like we met someone whose passion for life is infectious and who we want to keep in touch for years to come.

Kim from Lily and the Rose is the sweetest woman ever.

I’ve worked with Kim a handful of times and from the first time I met her, to the last time I worked with her, she (and her team) were nothing but sweet, accommodating, experienced AND she even made sure I was staying hydrated and bringing me water in-between tasks. No other vendor has ever done that for me; her kindness and personality has always stood out to me. Also, in the many years that I have been in the wedding industry, I have never seen anyone put together a culinary display that was as beautiful, colorful or unique as hers.

My good friends are getting married in 2022 and when they told me they were having a tasting with Lily and the Rose, I reassured them that they would be nothing less than blown away. They have a handful of dietary restrictions and allergies, and that did not stop Kim from putting together a menu/tasting that blew the both of them away and sealing the deal immediately for them. I could not be more delighted for my friends because I know how great Kim and her team are going to be to all of us on the day of their wedding.

Always a pleasure (and delicous food!)

I've had the pleasure of working with Kim in a number of settings and seeing her behind the scenes and in front of a client as well as in front of other vendors - I have nothing but wonderful things to say! She has been professional, accommodating and very flexible when special requests come up. As a bonus, her food is AMAZING! I'd be thrilled and lucky to have it for every meal everyday! Absolutely feel confidant in your choice of Lily and the Rose!

Saratoga June 2021 Wedding

Exceptional food and service!! Kim Klopstock is the ultimate professional. From our first meeting to our last, I was totally impressed with her attention to detail. Kim makes it a priority to get to know her clients and what their hopes are for whatever celebration is about to take place. The menu we planned together was perfect. Wedding guests are still talking about the food and I quote "We have never been to a wedding where the food was as exceptional as Lily and the Rose." Kim surrounds herself with an exceptional staff. Again, the guests are still commenting on how welcoming and friendly the staff was throughout the entire event. I highly recommend Lily and the Rose Catering/Kim Klopstock. You will not be disappointed! Kim is an artist and truly helped make my daughter's wedding spectacular!

Seasonal & Delicious

Tom & I cannot express how happy we are that we decided to have Lily & the Rose cater our wedding at M&D Farm. The whole event was absolutely incredible and all of our guests were complimenting the delicious food, lovely beverages, and competent, efficient, friendly service. The menu Kim created was seasonal, locally sourced, fresh, satisfying, and so tasty. Carm was an angel, she took such great care of us every step of the way! We loved every second of working with Kim, from the first phone call to the tasting, and of course the wedding itself. We highly recommend!

Couldn't have picked a better team.

Where do I begin with Lily & the Rose. Kim, the owner, is an angel on earth. From the moment I first called, so overwhelmed with the entire process, she sat on the phone with me and worked through every last detail - even beyond the catering - to help me get my ducks in a row. Her food is incredible and our guests couldn't get enough. She was super flexible in helping us create a non-traditional dinner that wasn't a traditional sit-down scenario and put together a menu that was not only delicious, but I felt reflected us as a couple too. Her team were so kind and warm with all our guests, and Carm immediately met us after the ceremony with a special plate of all the appetizers knowing we'd be hungry and need a bite before heading back out to greet everyone. Throughout the entire night she checked in with us to see if we needed a drink, making sure I had food, and even made a plate for us of our desserts to keep for our anniversary which I totally would have forgotten. I knew when I first chatted with Kim she and the team were meant to come in our lives as more than just a vendor, and she delivered every step of the way. I can't say enough nice things, I only wish I could have more of her food and more of her! 10/10, highly recommend.

More than satisfied!!

Kim and her team were incredible to work with! Our family and friends RAVED about the food and service at our wedding. Not only was the food delicious, but it beautifully presented. It was important to us to have organic ingredients from local sources which was no problem for Kim! She prepared a variety of cuisines that incorporated gluten-free and vegan options. She and her staff and professional, organized and experienced and we would recommend The Lily and the Rose over and over again.

Our May 26th Wedding

There are literally not enough kind words I can think of to express how grateful my husband Daniel and I are for Lulu and her team.
From the first conversation we had with Kim, I knew we wanted her to be our caterer. As our priorities changed from a sit-down dinner, to more of a buffet style, she was extremely accommodating, professional and kind. We are truly so grateful for all she has done for us. Her free spirit and absolute love of food what exactly what we wanted. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the food was on our perfect day.
Thank you for all you've done for us, Kim.
Our baby girl sends her regards as well.

-Daniel & Nataliya

Lily and the Rose is amazing. Their quality of service is truly almost indescribable. Their food is out of this world. It's a sublime combination of wholesome home cooking and a gourmet restaurant. The quality of their ingredients cannot be beat, with most of it farm-to-table and locally sourced. All of our guests raved that it was not only the best food they ever had at a wedding, but almost in any restaurant in New York City as well. Not to mention, their execution was also flawless. It is no easy feat to put 160+ meals out all at the same time, and each plate looked and tasted perfectly, and all piping hot. But best of all, the owner and chef Kim, and her head manager Ian, are the most warm, loving and sincere people. They are genuinely happy to share your day with you, and you can feel this love in every bite and drink they prepare. A million thanks to Lily and the Rose.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
