    The Real Deal

    Jeff and the entire team at Bon Soir Caterers are the real deal seasoned players. We chose them to cater our wedding at the Prospect Park Picnic House this past October over any of the other preferred caterers because of their excellent communication, glowing reviews and renowned expertise. And we wouldn't have had it any other way. From their professionalism, experience, attention to detail and warm hospitality, Jeff helped make our wedding day one of the best days of our lives. My husband is a chef and I am a caterer so we know how much hard work goes into putting together an event like this and food is incredibly important to us. Jeff's passion, humor and expertise left...

    Great caterer for weddings

    Jeff and his team did a fantastic job catering our event and I can't recommend them highly enough. The food and service was phenomenal and so many of our guests told us how fantastic their meal was, especially the pies we had in lieu of a traditional wedding cake. If you need a caterer, look no further than Bon Soir!

    Amazing All Around!

    Jeff and his company were amazing. Easy, everything was laid out for me with no hidden charges and they made everything super easy. The night of my wedding I was able to relax and enjoy the delicious food. The servers and staff were PERFECT. We will use Bon Soir for all future events we have!

    Best decision we made!

    Stop and hire Jeff now. Him and his team were absolutely amazing for us. Since the moment we spoke with him, we knew we were in good hands. We had a vision of the food we wanted and he made sure it came to life! He answered every single question quickly and helped with things that weren't even part of his job. Even after the wedding, he is helping us get back money from a vendor who over charged us. Not his job at all, but again that's the type of guy Jeff is.

    Best caterer for a Greenpoint Loft wedding!!

    We had chosen the Greenpoint Loft to celebrate our wedding and weren't very familiar with the catering options in the Brooklyn area coming from CT. Reviewing the recommended vendors listed on our venue's website we came across Bon Soir Caterers. I thought to do a little research and had a good feeling after reading so many positive reviews (pictures of food sold me too). I reached out and spoke to Jeff Riley and the rest was history. Jeff assessed our needs and created a custom menu tailored to what we wanted within a reasonable budget. Speaking with him, you can tell he has years of experience in this industry and we felt comfortable with his recommendations. Came the wedding...

    Amazing food

    He makes the absolute best quality food and is willing to customize your particular menu to perfection. He was very flexible in listening to exactly what he wanted. Everyone at the wedding was raving about how good the food was! I posted a pic of some of the desserts.

    Look no further

    Bon Soir, especially Jeff during planning and Victor on the big day, gave us the perfect wedding dining experience. The professionalism and organizational help from Bon Soir was top notch, but at the end of the day, their food is what made them stand out. Every single item was exquisite and tasted just as it did during our tasting session several months before the wedding. Many guests told us afterward that the food was better than they'd had at any wedding before, and we both certainly agreed. Would highly recommend!

    Bon Soir Caterers's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It has been our pleasure to have served you.
    May you have a blessed life together!

    My new husband and I had to make a ton of choices for our wedding at The Foundry in Long Island City... choosing a caterer was proving to be a challenge until we met Jeff.

    From my first phone call with Jeff to the very last goodbye hug at the end of our perfect wedding, every encounter with Jeff was great. Our first tasting (no charge, as some others do) -- was great, he had everything we had previously discussed freshly cooked for us, and even more food that we didn't pick. Everything was delish and the presentation was unexpected - wowed us a bit. We met a couple of times to go finalize the menu and the...

    Bon Soir Caterers Was Everything We Wished For

    We had initially found Bon Soir through our venue, as they were one of only several caterers allowed to work at the location. Turns out, it was easily the best decision we made in regards to our wedding.

    From the beginning up to the day of, everything was an amazing experience. Jeff Riley is a great guy and runs an incredible team. His immense experience helped us tremendously getting what is admittedly a chaotic experience for everyone involved to run as smoothly as possible. Everyone we worked with throughout the process was courteous, attentive, and showed the utmost professionalism. The chefs did an incredible job, leaving all our guests blown away by the food.

    We have absolutely zero reservations about wholeheartedly recommending Bon Soir to anyone looking for catering to an event.

    BonSoir Caterers

    Our only daughter’s wedding was one of our and her major life events. Jeff and his staff made it memorable and kept it at high point for all good reasons. Jeff’s many years of experience helped us to make excellent decisions. He was always available for any anxious re-question and led us to a beautiful evening. The food, bar and service were superb. We received constant compliments on food, flow, service all night. Many experienced consumers even called it “best wedding ever”! Jeff, his staff and food played huge role us achieving this!!!

    Jeff is the best!

    Jeff and his team were terrific. We were working on a tight budget and he was extremely accommodating, honest, and made sure we had terrific food at a price we could afford. He's a total pro with decades of experience and we felt like we were in excellent hands throughout the entire process. His team on the day of the wedding was also extremely helpful, professional, and accommodating. Highly recommend!

    Best Food I've Ever Had at a Wedding

    The food and day-of service provided by Bon Soir at our wedding was nothing short of amazing. We had our wedding at Greenpoint Loft in August 2021 – and were really impressed by how well the food reflected our experience at the tasting (braised short rib for the win!) – I’ve been to a number of weddings over the years and I’m proud to say our food ranked as one of the best dining experiences when compared to other weddings. Drink service was also a real hit. When planning our wedding, we were interested in having an extensive cocktail list at our wedding and Jeff and his team made it happen – making everything from martinis to palomas –...

    Guest are raving!

    Bon Soir caterers was amazing. Jeff was so helpful and flexible and made the stressful planning process so much easier. My guest are still raving about the food! Dinner was amazing but the guest especially loved the passed appetizers and the desserts that were offered after the cake cutting. I would highly recommend Bon Soir!

    Wonderful experience with bon soir

    Words cannot express how wonderful Jeff and the whole Bon Soir team are on every level. Not only did Jeff help us figure out the best menu for our budget he also guided us through creating a blueprint for our entire wedding day. Jeff and the Bon Soir team are always calm, always positive, always easy to reach and always working to make sure you get exactly what you want on your big day. No question went unanswered and every question was met with never-ending patience and wisdom from the whole team. We don't know how we would have planned a wedding for 220 people without Jeff's guidance. He even helped us with wonderful suggestions for alcohol and beer...

    Magical Night at The Picnic House

    My daughter's wedding reception at the Picnic House was catered by Bon Soir. They prepared delicious food and presented and served it beautifully. The owner, Jeff, was involved throughout the process. He coordinated all of our deliveries and his staff even helped with "last minute" decorating. His familiarity with the venue made for a perfect event. It was magical to see the empty building transformed into a stunning reception space. Our guests were very impressed!

    Bon Soir Caterers were a package deal with the Prospect Park Boathouse, and they were wonderful to work with. Yoriko (and our day-of captain Ryan) were so so helpful, responsive, and professional; the food was excellent (still getting compliments); and the price was pretty reasonable considering they also took care of our linens, flatware, plates, etc. I'd highly recommend them if you're looking for a caterer!!

    Bon Soir Caterers's reply:

    Thank you so much. Even after 40 years we still need and love the affirmation of a job well done.
    May you have a blessed life together!

    We had our wedding at the Prospect Park Boathouse. After the previous exclusive caterer went MIA, many of the couples, who were left stranded including ourselves, were invited to a tasting with Jeff and the team. We were blown away by the presentation and taste of the food. After careful considerations, we decided to go with Bon Soir and we are very glad we did!

    Yoriko knew the Boathouse like the back of her hands. She was one of the main reasons that we went with Bon Soir. She was calm and collected the whole night and moved things along, working with my Day-of Coordinator. The staff member were so courteous and sweet, making sure we had...

    Bon Soir was our wedding caterer at the Prospect Park Boathouse and the service was superlative. Yoriko has done events at the Boathouse for ten years, so we trusted her entirely, all the details were perfect, and the Bon Soir staff was kind, thoughtful, and frankly, the most professional staff I've encountered at a New York event. I really appreciate their level of service, and recommend them highly.

    No doubt Bon Soir among the best-- we are so grateful for their work for our daughter's recent wedding! The food and service were excellent, tailored to our needs -- everything was beautifully prepared and served, attentive to food allergies among our guests. They listened to the wedding couple and ensured the setting was beuatiful and addressed last their mintue questions calmly. Bravo-- a job well done.

    We were very pleased with having Bon Soir as our caterer. Our family and friends could not stop talking about the food at our wedding. We even got asked by multiple people if Bon Soir had a restaurant! Jeff's expertise, guidance, patience, and professionalism really made the whole wedding planning process so much easier on us. We can tell that he genuinely cared about creating an experience that suited our desires and budget. We wanted to have an environmentally friendly & sustainable wedding and he went above and beyond to make sure it came to fruition. We are eternally grateful for all the hard work, time, and effort that Jeff and his staff put into our wedding. We honestly couldn't have chosen a better caterer!
