Lisa G. Married on 10/03/2021Incredible!
Jill and her team are incredible. As many brides are, I was stressed but Jill's professionalism helped put me at ease. She was easy to work with, flexible, and clearly a pro with years of experience. She made excellent recommendations and did so much more than she had to for us. Her efforts did not go unnoticed. We are very impressed with Above & Beyond. The menu selections were creative and unique. The appetizers and entrees were plated beautifully and the food was incredible! Our guests were raving about the food. We opted for the passed desserts. They were wonderful and so cute! The service and staff were also a pleasure! I have only great things to say about A+B. We anticipate more events in our future where we will have them cater again. Thank you again, Jill! -

Rebecca S. Married on 10/18/2020Happiest that we chose Jill as our caterer!
Our wedding was at our home and July snd her team were able to cook the most amazing pescatarian menu out of our garage as their kitchen station. Every guest has called to tell me that the food was the best wedding food they ever had. I cannot recommend Jill and her team more -
User1324719 2+ years agoJill and her team are a dream come true! They can deal with any complicated setup, far-flung location, inclement weather situations (like a rainy, muddy outdoor wedding!), dietary restrictions, etc.
For example - before the event, many of our guests were grumbling about the absence of meat at our vegan wedding. Afterward, they had no choice but to concede that their anxieties were unwarranted. Let's just say, no one went home hungry. A month and a half later, our friends and family are still raving about the delicious food, its creative presentation, and the attentive and polite staff. They even enlisted me to procure recipes from the caterer post-wedding (which Jill happily provided).
Jill and her team were just a pleasure to work with. They had solutions for any complications that arose, were always responsive and on time to meetings, and had an enthusiastic attitude and calming presence.
Like another reviewer said - my only regret is not having the time to try everything on the menu. At the moment, I'm still thinking about those heavenly looking dessert truffles while trying to concoct an event for Above & Beyond to cater again soon! -
User1284220 2+ years agoJill and her team at Above & Beyond truly made our wedding dreams come true. My now-husband is a chef, and the food was extremely important to him. Jill offered a full tasting for us, including several passed appetizers, salads, entrees and desserts. It really gave us the opportunity to make an informed decision, and it was definitely the right one! Literally EVERY SINGLE guest commented on the food and went out of their way to mention how delicious everything was. For weeks after the wedding I was hearing from our friends and family about how amazing the food was. What was also noted by all of our guests was the attention to detail -- the way the food was presented (absolutely stunning!), how many options there were at every turn, and how polite and friendly the service team was.
I have to say, Jill herself was an extremely calming influence on me, my husband and my mother! She was always cheerful and completely in control, and responded to emails quickly and professionally. She never disappeared or was hard to track down, and she was patient and responsive throughout the entire process. The food was the one thing I knew I didn't have to worry about. My only regret is that I was too busy enjoying my wedding to stuff myself properly. I still daydream about the short ribs. If I could, I would have Above & Beyond cater every event for the rest of my life, including dinner 7 nights a week. -

Molly Married on 03/25/2017A modern take on kosher catering - tasted amazing!
Above & Beyond's kosher catering tasted amazing. We found out about them at another venue we looked at actually and are so glad we did! They were described as kosher catering service that had a more modern approach, which is exactly what we wanted. We hired them for our wedding and all of our guests could NOT STOP raving about our food. We had several cocktail stations, hors d'oeuvres, sit-down courses and passed desserts ranging in many food styles and the owner Jill and her team were able to execute flawlessly. Jill was very responsive/prompt during the wedding planning process and was accommodating to all of our needs (including many things to avoid due to allergies). She gave us a list of choices for cocktail hour and hors d'oeuvres but was happy to experiment with choices outside the list or combine elements from multiple stations. We did our tasting with her a couple months before the wedding, which was really fun. She had print outs of example menus and photos to share about what food items looked like. They also offered to print/design signage for our signature drinks. The presentation of everything at the tasting was great and she even had her chef prepare us a few extra desserts on the fly. We also appreciated that she had thought about a timeline and was committed to making sure the day ran smoothly. She also made our cake exactly how we wanted it – it looked so pretty and tasted great. Our only grievance was we didn’t get as many leftovers packed up as we’d like. We had a lot of people drop out last minute due to COVID and hoped to bring home the extra food we paid for. OTHERWISE, like I said, the food was truly knock out and Jill and her team were lovely to work with. -
