    Great food, Great people.

    Its been two weeks since our wedding and people are STILL talking about all the food (and the neighbors are still coming over for leftover cake)!

    They're a catering company so lets talk about the food first: it was incredible (although I wish our wedding was longer so we could have more time to enjoy it!). I just finished the last leftovers of our stationary apps and they were AMAZING. I didn't get to try the passed apps, unfortunately, but everybody was talking about them... UNTIL DINNER! From the salad to the steak we were just thrilled with how all the food came out. Personally, the orzo was my favorite but MOST people were talking to me about the eggplant rolatini. Hannah, my wife, was most partial to the steak.

    While Chez Alice is a catering company, they were also our partners in planning the wedding. Let me start with Kelly, who runs a lovely business with an open heart as well as the love and respect of her employees. Kelly probably dealt with us more than she deals with other customers and treated us with generosity and respect throughout. The true star of the show for us, though, was PAULA! Our wedding was not your normal wedding: it was long, convoluted, and complicated; it mixed old jewish traditions with the ideas of young, open minds... Paula was not only open to all of it, but she went out of her way to go over the concepts with me and research the traditions in her free time. Paul negotiated deals with rental companies and alcohol companies, and even made difficult phone calls to some of those companies when I decided I didn't want to use them. Paula was enthusiastic and excited about our wedding during the planning, and took care of us all through the night while simultaneously making sure our 213 guests were entertained and happy at the same time.

    No event is perfect: I'm an event planner and I know that. That said, ours was pretty close, and there's no way it would have been to as good without all the hard work and LOVE that Paula, Kelly and the whole Chez Alice crew put into it.

    Seriously... even our snootiest of guests were pumped about the food...

    Attentive and Thorough

    Our daughter’s recent wedding at Strawberry Hill Mansion was perfect from start to finish. Our wedding coordinator, Nora went out of her way to attend to every detail and calm all our anxieties about the big day. When communications with the rental company broke down, she and Luzsaid what every bride wants to hear: “ I’ll take care of it”. The staff for the reception was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend the strawberry wedding cake. So many compliments. The venue was made even more perfect by gorgeous weather although we were prepared for Plan B. I would highly recommend the Chez Alice/ Strawberry Hill combo!

    wonderful job!

    Chez Alice catered our wedding in August. The entire experience with them was wonderful, from the tasting to the day itself. The food was delicious, we received so many compliments from our guests as well. It was an outdoor wedding and even with a tent for the kitchen all the food was served hot and presentation was lovely and most importantly, everything was tasted great!

    The staff was also fantastic to work with. Paula was our event coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. She was there every step of the way with planning. Communication was excellent, she was always quick to respond and always had an answer waiting for me. She was very efficient and helped coordinate with other vendors like the rentals and alcohol, so I felt like there was nothing I had to worry about forgetting or missing. The day of she made sure everything went smoothly and that we had everything we needed all night as well as taking care of the rest of our guests.

    I can't put into words how great this company is! Amanda was amazing!!! She was there every step of the way from planning to execution and made sure my husband and I were taken care of the night of our wedding. You get so busy greeting your guests and making sure that they are happy you forget to stop and take care of yourself but every time I looked at our swearheart table there was food for us to eat and cake! She was amazing and would recommend them for any event! So professional and great people all around. They cared about making our day special, but most of all they genuinely cared for us as people. Hire them! You won't regret it!!!

    What a fantastic experience. Can't express our gratitude and complete satisfaction with Chez Alice.
    From the first meeting to the tasting and all the last minute details we were completely thrilled. The food was amazing and Amanda's attention to detail was throughly impressive. We both appreciate Amanda's flexibility and expertise. Thank You from the bottom of our grateful happy hearts.

    Nora and Kelly from Chez Alice were amazing. From day one they were so flexible and responsive. On the day of our wedding the team and food were fabulous. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I would definitely use Chez Alice for future events.

    Dear Kelly and the entire Chez Alice team,

    Thank you so very much for making our day so incredibly special. From the moment we first contacted you and spoke to Amanda to schedule our wedding, you and your team were so thoughtful and helpful in every detail. From the amazing tasting we had with Kelly all the way through to the days after the wedding, you guys are the best!!!!!

    So many of our guests have commented on how amazing the food was and how great your team was during the event. That you were all on top of it when the sky decided to share some rain with us :-)

    And, of course, Jen! She took such great care of us throughout the planning and especially on the day of our wedding. She was wonderful to work with and we are so happy and lucky to have had her coordinate our wedding!

    I can go on, and I happily will. I wanted to make sure to share this with you and say thank you from the bottom of our newlywed hearts!

    These guys are a pleasure to work with. They really went out of their way to help us with every little detail for our wedding. Prices are very reasonable and the food was amazing. Weeks later our friends and family are still talking about how good the food was! Hands down the best cake I've ever had too!

    I loved using Chez Alice as my wedding caterer. They helped make our wedding (and welcome party catering) so perfect! They paid special attention to me and the groom, and my mom was a little sick and they even made her hot tea throughout the day! Great communication throughout the planning process, very accommodating and helpful, and delicious food. I was actually very nervous on our wedding day because the coordinator we had been working with had to miss our event unexpectedly and we had someone else fill in for her, and everything still went great! I would highly recommend Chez Alice to any bride or anyone needing catering service.

    Chef Alice was amazing to work with. My first experience with them was through email, I was trying to set up a tasting with them. As I had never done this before I wasn't sure what to expect, however, the really put me at easy with their quick and friendly reaponces. The day of the tasting was great, all the food we sampled was phenomenal.

    Once we decided to go with them our event coordinator Devin was on top of everything. Ma king sure every detail was exactly as we wanted. A few months before our big day we got an email from her stating she had taken another position and was leaving the company. I was extremely worried that the transition to another event coordinator was going to be messy, however, I'm happy to say it was such a smooth one.

    Our new event coordinator Amanda was just as amazing. She made sure she was up to speed on everything and when we went to the venue for another walk through she made sure she had every little detail down. She responded to every email very quickly and was there whenever we needed her.

    The day of the wedding, the staff was incredible. They served food and drinks with such quick and friendly service. Amanda was fantastic, she made sure we had everything we needed and was always asking us if there was anything we need. Her and her staff really did everything to make sure our night was the best it could be, and it was.

    As for the food at the wedding... simply amazing! Sometimes you try food during a tasting and it doesn't taste the same the day of the event but that was not the case with Chez Alice. All the hors d'oeuvres were delicious. We had a mashed potato bar our guests raved about. The plated dinners were cooked to perfection and the mini desert bar, I barely got to eat any of it cause all our guest's couldn't get enough of it.

    Overall, I would absolutely use them again without hesitation and I suggest them to anyone looking for a caterer that I'd really going to make sure your wedding day is perfect.

    My family has been buying cakes from Chez Alice for a decade, so when it was time to buy a wedding cake I knew exactly who I wanted to do it. Chez Alice has so many different interesting cakes available, and they can do decorations as complex or as simple as you'd like. Matt is absolutely great to work with, and we got many compliments on how good the cake tasted!

    Devin and the entire Chez Alice team were a pleasure to work with! They were so helpful with planning the wedding and all the extra details that went into it. Devin was there to help answer my questions at all hours of the day and I really appreciated that! She made the whole wedding a lot less stressful since we were constantly in contact up until the very day!

    The Chez Alice food is delicious!! We received so many compliments on the food and how great it was! The menu was exactly what we were looking for and they stayed within our budget too. We are so glad everyone enjoyed it! We even asked for something a little different, a hot chocolate bar, and they were so happy to accommodate it. That was also a huge hit and it couldn't have been done without their help! Thank you again Devin and everyone at Chez Alice, you helped make our day truly memorable!

    We had never heard of Chez Alice Catering Company, prior to seeing their name listed as an approved vendor in The Prallsville Mills Wedding Folder, Stockton, New Jersey.
    From the first (and second; then, third!) tasting at Chez Alice in Pennington, New Jersey, we felt not only personally comfortable but confident in our decision to select them to cater our wedding.
    The staff did a remarkable job serving our 135 guests with professionalism, meeting our admittedly high standards. From the hors d'oeuvres and champagne presentation, upon guests' arrivals, to the pasta course and three uniquely-crafted final course selections, everything was as expected - exceptional.
    Bar service, too, was a tall order, with Chez Alice servers serving all drinks on silver platters, with white gloves. It was a black tie, once in a lifetime affair for us, bringing only our closest family and friends from across the country, to tiny little Stockton, New Jersey. By each and every guest's account, the food and service were exceptional. Truly.
    We would like to add that Chez Alice worked very closely with our florist, Barbara Henderson from The Flower Shoppe at Pennington Market, to create the elegant, candle-lit, ambiance of the room (including the Chuppah for our Judeo-Christian, non-traditional wedding).
    Guests are still talking about the five-tiered, German Chocolate Cake, draped with cascading flowers by Mrs. Henderson. "It tasted as good as it looked," exclaimed more than one guest! The cake (yes, German Chocolate Cake!) was made for us by Chez Alice and left everyone wanting more.
    As a complete review, we add one final comment. The ceremony was moved inside, due to weather, so the staff of Chez Alice Catering Company, had to serve our guests hors d'oeuvres and cocktails for an hour, around tables and chairs set up for the banquet of 135. Every detail was well executed by Chez Alice Staff, even the last minute, weather-related adjustments.

    The Chez Alice staff were uniformly professional, helpful, and friendly. They helped make a wonderful day even more pleasant. Devin was very helpful in planning the event, and Nancy who was the onsite coordinator was unflappable throughout. The hors d'ouveres they served were excellent, as was the cheese table. I highly recommend them.

    Chez Alice was one of the caterers that our venue, Grounds for Sculpture, allowed. We didn't have time to do a tasting before we had to make a choice because GFS was changing its policy, so we went on reviews and the price/menu options. We were not disappointed, to say the least. It was a large wedding -- approximately 275 people. The managers at Chez Alice were absolutely wonderful to work with, they were very professional but also very responsive to our needs. They co-ordinated with the staff at GFS and the rental company. They met with us several times to make sure we were all on the same page, and it was always fun. And, most importantly, the food they served was delicious -- we got rave reviews from our guests. In fact, we are still hearing how wonderful the food was, the appetizers, the buffet, the desserts, the wedding cake. If you want to have the best, go with Chez Alice!

    The cake was delicious. Ordering it was the easiest thing we've done during wedding planning. The delivery was free to our venue. We ordered plain white sponge cake to allow our florist to decorate it. The filling had two types of mousse; chocolate and berries. It was the most delicious cake I have ever tried! It was much tastier than the samples in the cafe. It was not too sweet or too fatty. Just perfect balance of texture and flavor! We saved the top, but we ate it right after we came back from the honeymoon. We were dreaming about that cake! We will be ordering the same one for all our future anniversaries:)

    Nailed it! Fantastic job! The staff was friendly, helpful and on point with every aspect of our backyard wedding. Me and my wife could not be happier. Thank you all so very much. Our event manager Devin was amazing. You could tell she had a true passion for her job and it showed in even the smallest details of the talented young woman's work.

    Chez Alice catering was absolutely wonderful to work with. The food is amazing and we loved that they also offered an Indian chef to provide an international cuisine. Through the entire year of planning Devin was always quick to respond to any questions I had, and always had good ideas to help make the day perfect. The staff went out of there way to make things easy and beautiful, with helping with decor, centerpieces, and all the little things.

    Thanks Mallory, it was a great wedding. I believe everyone had a great time!
    Thank you for choosing Chez Alice Catering Company, wishing you the Best!

    The food was wonderful and just what we ordered. The wedding cake was great! Chocolate with raspberry filling. I have to say that unfortunately I didn't get to eat a lot of the food because I was so busy dancing, but what I ate was great and all the guests were raving about it.

    Kelly, Devin and the rest of the Chez Alice team made our wedding party one to remember. The food was fabulous and the servers and chefs were extremely responsive to our guest the day of the event. Kelly and Devin made the planning easy, with targeted recommendations and willingness to work within our budget. We would use them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend their work.
