Wedding Caterers in Albany

If you’re thinking about Mazzones for your wedding, just book them. They are worth every penny. From the beginning, Kinley was incredibly responsive and had answers to every question (and I had a lot, as I planned my wedding myself). She had answers within 24 hours it felt like, and no question was too silly or too small. I knew we were in good hands with her. The day before, we met with her and Jordan, who was our day of coordinator. He was fantastic. High energy and made sure we had everything we needed and kept us on track all night. We also had Lindsey, who also took care of us all night, making sure we had drinks in our hands and a bite of all the passed tray bites at cocktail hour. Mazzones truly delivered above and beyond. They made everything look so beautiful and exactly how I envisioned it. I didn’t have to worry about a thing all night. As for the food, my guests haven’t stopped raving about it. The dumplings at cocktail hour were the best! I don’t think anyone has stopped thinking about the crab dip either. Dinners came out on time and hot, and both the chicken and beef were amazing. We didn’t get any of our cake the night of, but it was so good that some of our guests were stealing other peoples plates! They sent us home with so many leftovers and the top of our cake to enjoy and even a day later everything was still excellent. Words can’t express our gratitude to the team at Mazzones that made our wedding the best night ever. They even brought out a cupcake to celebrate my husband’s grandmother’s 99th birthday which was the day after our wedding. They really knocked it out of the park!

Literally cannot recommend them enough. They were incredible to work with. The food was stunnnnnin’ perfectly cooked filet mignons, and an epic cocktail hour. Katrina was a dream to work with. Fun, down to earth, and just super helpful from the jump. They helped make the wedding seamless and the best day ever. Book book book!

We hosted our engagement party at Osteria Danny and it was everything we hoped for. From the planning to the night itself, the experience felt personal, thoughtful, and seamless. The space is intimate, and they did an amazing job helping us figure out the right flow so guests could comfortably mingle without it ever feeling crowded. The food was incredible (as always), and they worked with us to customize parts of the menu so it fit the night perfectly. Everything was paced beautifully over the evening — nothing felt rushed, and nothing lagged. Our guests are still talking about how good the food and drinks were. What stood out most was how warm and family-like the whole night felt. It wasn’t just great service — it genuinely felt personal, which made the celebration even more meaningful for us and our families. If you’re considering Osteria Danny for an engagement party, rehearsal dinner, or intimate wedding event, we couldn’t recommend it more.

Their creativity and ability to work within our budget was always a compliment to their professionalism and the services that they provided to us and the accommodating ability to change menu last min was an asset to the year that they brought the catered lunches that the staff. We absolutely appreciated everything they did for us. We miss Ali & Ben.

9 Miles East catered our wedding in a rural area outside of Albany, and so many wedding guests told us it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. Gordon was so helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the process. The team at the event were wonderful and did an excellent job, the dinner went off without a hitch. Good food was one of our top priorities for our wedding, and 9 Miles East went above and beyond with the delicious spread of appetizers, sides, and mains, while still being a budget-friendly option. 9 Miles East was a great value, incredible quality food and drinks, and a joy to work with; my wife and I would recommend them in a heartbeat to any other couple looking for a fantastic wedding caterer.

Rich and Linda were excellent bartenders working out of their awesome Traveling Tavern! All our guests had nothing but compliments for their service and professionalism. Above amd beyond would be a good way to describe our exprience. Highly recommended!

Anita was amazing. She worked with us to help create the vision we had. We enjoyed the test tasting experience and all of the food was delicious. Anita worked with us whenever we had questions or new ideas and her team was so great. On top of everything to make our special day memorable and easy.

Food was the most important decision for us at our wedding. And we made the right choice by going with Farm to Fire. The moment we sat down to try Brandon’s food we were hooked. Several of our guests have since commented that the food was amazing and one other couple - who were very picky about the catering at their own wedding - said we were the first wedding they’d been to that had managed to outmatch their own selection. The food is elevated while still being down to earth. We wanted to have food reflecting key moments in our relationship - mac n cheese, baked salmon, brussel sprouts, take out chicken teriyaki - and Brandon was able to take these run of the mill things and turn them into dishes so good that in the following days, our guests were asking if we had leftovers we could share. If you love food, go with Farm to Fire. You won’t be disappointed.

We loved working with 2Shea Catering! Catherine and Deanna were organized, professional, and a pleasure to collaborate with throughout the planning process. They were super responsive to questions. The tasting event was so much fun, and choosing our wedding menu was a highlight of the experience. Our guests raved about the food. Everything was delicious! Our main dishes were cooked perfectly and had great portion sizes (everyone who ordered our favorite dish, the pork chop, was talking about how juicy it was!). Guests especially loved the dessert station and the late-night pretzel bar. The bartenders made amazing drinks, and everything ran very smoothly on the day of the wedding. We also really appreciated the thoughtful touch of having a small plate of appetizers set aside in our loft and even at our head table, it made us feel special and well taken care of. It was also nice to be able to share leftover desserts that had been wrapped up the next morning at our Sunday brunch. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with 2Shea and would absolutely book them again and highly recommend them to other couples!
