We hired Palms Plaza to cater for our wedding, and we are nothing short of grateful that we did! From the first initial meeting with Margo, leading up to the big day working with them was seamless & stress free. Margo goes above and beyond to see that all your needs are met, and the job gets done. They know what they're doing when it comes to weddings and can answer any questions you have & offer great advice if you're indecisive on anything. Literally anything you need; they make it happen. They offer a large variety of options to choose from, we went with their full-service stations package that offers a full spread from fruit platters to meat carving stations. The food quality is exceptional, we are 3 weeks post wedding day, and our guests are still raving about how amazing all the food was! Their servers and bartenders are attentive, polite and professional. There wasn't a time I sat at my sweetheart table when I wasn't approached by one of the servers asking if I needed anything. Although we didn't have much time to eat, there was consistently a spread of food on the table for us to snack in between dancing & photos. We can't say enough great things about Palms, they are number one on my recommendation list for any occasion. If you're looking for a caterer for your wedding, they are the ONLY right choice you won't regret it!

Ultimate Caterer catered my 2/22/25 wedding recently and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with them. I originally met Alan back in 2021 at the Art Factory and he was extremely friendly, helpful and was one of their house caterers. To make a very long and complicated story short, we had to delay our wedding over 2 years and change venues and Alan & staff were so understanding and flexible with us. When we nailed down our new date and location, we worked closely with Heidi on our menu, day of plans and all the little details that come with planning a wedding. I am so grateful to have hired such an amazing company for our big day. The food was amazing - we had a vegetarian and vegan only menu with 5 international food stations and everyone commented on how excellent the food was. Not only was it delicious and to our specifications but the variety and amount of food that was served was generous. The staff was friendly, fast and did an amazing job setting up and cleaning up within our allotted event time frame. They were also able to recommend other fantastic vendors. Needless to say, I highly recommend them for your event!

I couldn’t let the year go by without writing this review. Let me start off by saying hiring Startup Caterings for my wedding was THE BEST decision I made out of my entire wedding. I am West African and had a big West African wedding with 300+ people and Sam and his staff fed everyone with so such professionalism and grace. The food was SUPERB and fresh! Till this day people still compliment the food and mention how flavorful it was. Sam worked with me, my husband and our parents to create the most perfect menu. He was kind, professional, patient, and all around amazing (even through my bridezella moments lol). I’m forever grateful for how well he took care of us the day of my wedding and I pray that you all read this and make the right decision and book them. Trust me, you will not regret it! Thank you Sam and team for everything!!!

Brennan's was the perfect choice for our wedding. After checking out a few catering halls, we hadn't found any place that had food that wow-ed us. We were a little apprehensive walking into the deli, but were quickly impressed by the food and by Brian and the staff. Our guests were stuffed by cocktail hour and have been raving about the food ever since. We didn't have much of a chance to eat during our wedding, but the event staff packed up meals for us to enjoy after our reception which was delicious. Brian is easy to work with and we couldn't be happier with our choice of Brennan's.

Basking in the glow of tying the knot ~1 month ago, we cannot thank Jacques Catering enough- especially our catering point person, Lisa Tevis and the staff. Jacques Catering is affiliated with our amazing venue, The Barn at Laird (Colts Neck, NJ). Lisa made what seemed like an overwhelming experience, seamless and stressless. Everyone is raving about the how great the food was from cocktail hour to reception. Highly recommend attending one of Jacques Caterings tasting events- my husband is still raving about the sweet chili chicken thighs. Lastly, Lisa and her team handled everything to make our venue- a blank canvas inside, the wedding of my dreams from ordering of furniture, the linens and perfect colors to match my fall wedding palette, placement within the venue, setup, execution, decor and EVERY detail was made. The staff is very accommodating- Rosie made sure we ate, drank and had everything and anything we needed. The WHOLE staff was amazing. We highly recommend Jacques Catering with The Barn at Laird.

We hired Alchmy Catering for our son’s wedding, and they exceeded all expectations. The food was truly five-star quality—elegant, delicious, and unforgettable. The passed hors d’oeuvres were a hit with every guest, and the arugula and pear salad with their sweet juicy pear slices and vinaigrette was simply outstanding. The pesto pasta was bursting with flavor, and the braised beef was so tender it practically melted in your mouth. They also thoughtfully provided a vegan, gluten-free cauliflower steak that was a huge success—our guests with dietary restrictions were thrilled. What really set them apart, beyond the incredible food, was the service. The staff was professional, kind, and attentive, helping the event run smoothly from start to finish. We’re so thankful to Alchmy Catering for helping make our son’s wedding day so special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch catering!

We had a catered buffet at our backyard wedding held in September. Lavoti's Old World Market had great pricing and the food was delicious! They offer an option that you can pay per person instead of per tray of food, and it includes extras such as rolls and salad. Everyone loved the food and there was more then enough with a ton of left overs as well. On time delivery, no issues, although be sure to follow there heating instructions as the food arrives cold. Our wait staff had a little difficulty getting the food warm on the sternos and wound up putting the trays in our oven.

The Luna family is workers and the owners area always smiling and ready to serve! They clearly use the freshest ingredients and take great care to put out the best product!

My husband & I chose to hire Shore Good Eats as a wedding reception & exit gift for our outdoor barn style wedding. They were perfect as everything came out fresh & fast. The owner, Stephen, was very easy to work with through email & helped us with all of our many many questions! We eventually decided on full sized sandwiches for the main course & several different appetizers for our guests to choose from. very fun, very clean & VERY fast! We can not wait to hire them again, hopefully for our baby's first birthday soon..
