I am so glad we hired Agnes Devereux to cater our wedding. She and her team made delicious family-style meals (and three wedding cakes with different flavors) for our 100 guests, and many of them still rave about the food! For me, the most important parts of a wedding are the food and the music—both set the tone and satiate guests in more ways than one, so it was really important to find a great chef. When we went to her charming farmhouse for the tasting several months in advance, we were thrilled to sample delicious offerings and put together a balanced menu. I spent six months dreaming about the pinot noir braised brisket afterward, and couldn't wait to have it again on our wedding day. And not only is Agnes a great chef, but she is also a delightfully warm, funny, and detail-oriented person. She was communicative and organized throughout the process, a dream to worth with. We highly recommend her!

Hiring Agnes and her team to cater our wedding in May 2025 was the best decision we made! 10/10 recommend! She is well-experienced professional, cooks and bakes delicious food, and has a warm, kind presence. We knew we wanted to hire a caterer who gave the right "vibe" - not pushy, but knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, understanding and reliable AND sourced local ingredients. She was all of that and so much more.
We also appreciated how transparent Agnes was with cost. It wasn't a one-size-fits-all, but instead we could weight different options and pick and choose the things that were important to us. She helped us make decisions for rentals, all the while being considerate of our budget.
Our guests still talk about the food at the wedding..."those deviled eggs!" "the short ribs were sooo tender" "the roast beef crustinis!" and on and on. The food was incredible and her staff was so sweet, kind, and super on top of it throughout, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Hire Agnes Devereux Catering, you won't regret it!

Agnes was so lovely to work with for our wedding cake! We went with the almond/raspberry & chocolate layers for our cake and they were INCREDIBLE. We also really appreciated how responsive she was from the very first email! We can't wait to order mini versions of the cakes for our anniversary next year :)

If Agnes has your date open, you should put a deposit down ASAP - she absolutely lives up to her reputation as the best in the Hudson Valley (and beyond).

After our tasting there was no question about who we would go with, everything was excellent and we had a really hard time choosing between the options! Quality did not disappoint at scale on the day either: all of our guests, including my parents' most discerning friends, said it was the best food they had ever had at an event.

There are many things to stress over when planning a wedding, but I never stressed once about the quality of our dining experience. Agnes is so organized, has stellar advice, and gracefully guided us through decisions we didn't have experience with while still making sure all choices were ours.

I would recommend Agnes Devereux Catering to anyone!

My fiance and I absolutely loved working with Agnes. Given that we were planning the wedding on our own, having her as our caterer was invaluable. From coming with us to choose rentals, to attending a sight visit to lay out the placement of our tent, to answering numerous small questions promptly and kindly, our wedding wouldn't have been nearly as good without her. On the day, the food came out on time and hot, and everyone raved about the Bee Cake. Would highly recommend hiring Agnes for your wedding!

Agnes is truly the best in the business. She was incredibly patient with us when we were at our most stressed in the planning process. Agnes is knowledgeable about the industry—she knows what does and doesn't work for every event. She was super helpful in recommending other local vendors. She really goes above and beyond what you'd expect a caterer to do. She thinks of everything! She saved us time and money when we were deciding on rentals for our barn wedding. All of our wedding guests were blown away by the service and food. Months later, our families are still raving about the short ribs and the fagioli ala toscani side dish.

Agnes is a spectacular caterer. Her food speaks for itself, and her professionalism is unmatched— always on time, impressive attention to detail, personable and direct. We had a great experience working with her.

Book. With. Agnes. Do it now!! Agnes and her team catered our wedding for 155 guests - family style, in Sept 2024. I have a vivid memory of looking across the table and seeing my friend SLURP the short rib broth from the bowl towards the end of the meal bc it was THAT GOOD. People came up to us from the very start of the day - passed hors d'oeuvres - to the dinner/dessert - to the late night snacks - raving about the food. AT. A. WEDDING.

Agnes was such a pleasure to work with - she invited us to her home for the menu tasting, helped us order all necessary place settings/kitchen supplies, and provided expert advice and opinion on bar needs.

She is the best! I hope to be able to throw another epic part again so we can work with Agnes and her team.

Thank you Agnes!!!!!

My husband and I hired Agnes and her team to cater our wedding reception this summer and we are so happy that we did. We wanted a pescaterian/vegetarian meal that was filling, colorful, and easily shared amongst 150 guests family-style, and she both met and exceeded our dreams. One of those dreams included an off-menu poached salmon, and Agnes's was PERFECTLY cooked. Overall, Agnes was super responsive and collaborative and the end result truly hit all the buzz words: local? - yes! seasonal? -you bet! gorgeously plated - of course! Throughout the process, Agnes was nothing but collaborative, responsive, and incredibly professional. The tasting at her charming home was one of the highlights of the planning process! Agnes is not only a superb chef, but a delightful person. Highly recommend!

Agnes and her team were fantastic, there is a reason she was voted #1 in the Hudson Valley and we could see why! If you are foodies like my partner and I, Agnes is a no-brainer for your event. For our wedding, food was out top priority, and wanted to treat our intimate number of guests to a gourmet dining experience. We were connected to Agnes and when we realized she would be available, she helped us design the most perfect tented wedding at our family farm in upstate NY!

The food served at our cocktail hour grazing table and the family style dinner was outstanding, and so many of our guests were saying it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. We decided to go with beet and goat cheese salad, braised beef short ribs, sticky Malaysian chicken, mashed potatoes, summer squash medley, ciabatta rolls, and a really delicious carrot cake for dessert. She was accommodating to my nut allergy and offered vegetarian and vegan options to guests who needed. The tasting was one of the highlights of wedding planning, and honestly everything was so good it was hard to decide, but you can’t go wrong as her menu is seasonal and farm to table, local food!

Not only was Agnes wonderful with the catering aspect, but she is a wealth of resources for any wedding or event planning in the area. My partner and I are not based out of upstate NY, so it was invaluable having Agnes be able to connect us with trustworthy and professional wedding vendors. She recommended a great rental company for the tent, table setting and decor, and came in person to help us plan the cocktail hour and reception. She was always communicative and available via phone and email for any questions we had. she connected us with a fantastic wedding planner and was there every step of the way, making sure to coordinate with the rental company to ensure we had everything we needed, even things we had no idea we needed to think about. Working with her is having peace of mind knowing the cocktail hour and reception of your wedding will go seamlessly! Thank you Agnes for making our wedding a dream!
