  Wonderful & Unforgettable Experience

  James, Kady and the team were absolutely amazing! Not only was the food spectacular, but they were on top of everything and made it a point to engage with all guests and make the experience one of a kind. Thank you Heirloom Fire Team for a wonderful day that none of us will forget! ❤️

  Simply Incredible, Don't Hesitate to Hire Them!

  We were lucky to have Heirloom Fire cater our wedding in October 2023 and simply put, they stole the show- not just because they are theatrical and bring the stoke (literally), but also because they’re an incredibly warm, passionate and talented team who makes delicious, memorable food and experiences.
  
  Our wedding day was cozy (aka lots of rain) and James, Kady and their team worked so hard and with smiles the entire day and night. Through the downpour, our food was served piping hot, the lamb and trout we chose were cooked *perfectly,* and every single dish was displayed with such attention to detail. (Weeks later, friends and family are still reminiscing on how tasty and inventive the food was!) Whenever we had bits of downtime, Kady checked on my husband and me, and brought us food and the fabulous specialty drinks they crafted (ours were a ginger/pear/bourbon cocktail and lemon/spruce vesper martini). She's like a fairy godmother, flitting around and doing everything and anything.
  
  If we’re being honest, in the beginning we were a little nervous about this unique manner of catering being more “style over substance.” We were optimistic, but like many of our other wedding vendors, we wouldn’t really know the product until day-of. Thankfully, our tasting in Winter 2022 gave us the opportunity to meet James and Kady and provided a window into the amazing contraptions they cook with in person. We’re here to tell you our worry was misplaced. Their caliber of hospitality and quality of food made us feel at ease and confident for months to come.
  
  Over the full year and a half we planned with them, Heirloom Fire’s team was professional, dedicated and pleasant to work with. They may take a wee while to get back to you on emails, but seeing how all-consuming their work is and how present they were the day-of, we completely understand why. So, don’t be concerned! They never forget a detail and when they show up, they show up in every dimension.
  
  We genuinely couldn’t have imagined our wedding without them and hope we have another excuse to see them soon. Thank you, James, Kady, and your brilliant team!

  Unforgettable Experience

  HF truly creates a once in a life time culinary experience that our guests still talk about months after. James and Kady were amazing to work with and executed the day perfectly, with some of the best food you will ever have. We can't thank them enough and can't say enough positive things about them.

  Unrogettable

  James and his team created such an unforgettable experience for our rehearsal dinner. Every detail from load in to setup and breakdown was perfectly planned. James' vision for how to utilize our space was spot on, and everything from vision to planning to execute was perfect. The food really shined in it's quality, spectacle and flavor profiles. The Heirloom Fire team is really a talented crew and a must for any event where you want a memorable atmosphere, professional staff, and creative food. Our guests are still talking about it four months later.

  My favorite part of my wedding!

  Where to begin! Heirloom Fire is amazing and James and Emily were so very lovely to work with and the whole team is just amazing.
  
  My husband and I had two things we built our wedding around... he wanted a nice view and I had my eye set on Heirloom Fire.
  
  Let me tell you, they did not disappoint. James' food is art mixed with flavor and a bit of theater. Everything about his approach to food and how it is cooked is not only fascinating and delicious but added such a fun aesthetic for our guests.
  
  If you're thinking about it, hire them. I've basically become an Heirloom Fire groupie and would love to follow them from event to event.

  What a fantastic team

  The Heirloom team is made up of hands down the coolest, nicest, most dedicated people. We got so lucky and booked James, Kady, and their team a mer 3 weeks before our small backyard wedding. You would have thought they had been planning for our day for over a year. They made me feel so relaxed and confident that they had things under control. I truly would trust James to handle anything at this point. The meal was out of this world and they made us and our families feel like VIPs despite the fact that we were just 25 people sitting in a fancy tent. Kady is also a jack of all trades, functioning as our main contact AND our bartender the day of. She is bomb. The food was truly insane and the set up is SO COOL. Truly amazing. My niece and nephew who are really picky eaters are still talking about that chicken. I highly recommend them.

  Unforgettable

  Oh. My. God. If you are even on this page, just hire them. They're amazing. We are massive foodies, and catering was our first decision. You probably gathered this from the other reviews, but they cook everything over open fire, and all the ingredients are local, often foraged, homemade, and absolutely from scratch. They even make their own apparatus and are always experimenting with new beautiful equipment that looks like it came from a century ago, in the best of ways. No shortcuts here. They cook everything in bulk, which is why it doesn't taste like typical wedding food - the fish and duck was all cooked whole before being carved and served, the beef was cooked on the leg...Their technique is barbecue, but elevated to creative, farm to table haute cuisine. It never loses its rustic, "done the old way" feel, and it is delicious without being pretentious. Also, they are great to work with. We went for a tasting, and everything was delicious but they took the few notes we had in stride and really collaborated together. The presentation was stunning (he asked if we'd let him serve the oysters and clams over a "running stream," which he built himself), and in addition to the flavor, everyone loved watching them cook out in the open. Our wedding was in a private residence for 235 people, and they did a magnificent job. Best decision we made.

  A dream come true

  When I first started thinking the vision of the wedding, I knew I wanted open fire cooking so I started to search the internet. Then I came upon Heirloom Fire and was addicted. Needless to say, my wedding was planned around them. James and his team were a joy to work with from day 1. They were helpful in recommending venues and other vendors and making the whole process so easy start to finish. But let's talk about the food. My guests are still talking about it. "Best wedding food I've ever had" is what we hear from everyone. They kept going back for seconds. From setting up, to cooking, to serving, to mixing drinks, you can count on Heirloom Fire to exceed all expectations. I would do it all over again if I could and wouldn't change a thing.

  Amazing experience with Heirloom!

  Heirloom Fire provided food, drink, and their typical understated flair for our wedding in May 2019. From the getgo, it was clear that there was no other choice than James and his excellent team to provide the high quality, deeply researched, and incredibly thoughtful experience that we and our guests would appreciate. (So much so that it seemed natural when the entire Heirloom crew received a round of applause when dinner first came out!)
  
  I'll also note that Heirloom was working at a private site for the first time for our event, and yet everything was flawless and perfectly executed; this owes to James taking the time to conduct site visits, have discussions with us about menu, event flow, and exact ingredients, and coordinate directly with all other wedding collaborators so that things were seamless. Guests had amazing interactions with the Heirloom team, and immensely enjoyed the food.
  
  If you're considering working with Heirloom, I recommend it 100%!

  I honestly can’t give Heirloom Fire higher praise. They are the absolute best. My wife and I hired them to cater our wedding day and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. They were a huge hit with our guests. I lost count how many times we heard, “This food is amazing! This is some of the best food I’ve ever had.” We are still getting messages about it a month past our wedding. The food was matched only by its presentation. It was absolutely magical (another word we heard a lot from our guests). Heirloom Fire’s aesthetic is simply stunning, and they use no short cuts to create the perfect atmosphere. All of the above coupled with approachable and interactive chefs and servers made the whole experience memorable for everyone. Jim is a professional in every sense of the word. It was clear from the outset that food is his life’s passion. So much love and thought goes into every single detail to make sure your wedding is as special as it can be. Jim was thrown some curve balls on our big day with heavy rain and having to deal with two very difficult venue owners, but he took it all in stride and never let those issues effect what he was there to do.
  
  In short, if you want a one of a kind, magical wedding day with a feast fit for a royal banquet, hire Heirloom Fire. You’ll also make a new best friend along the way. Jim, whisky next time you’re in the city!

  Heirloom Fire was truly our dream come true and we never thought we could convince them to do their first ever Canadian wedding! It was the most unforgettable experience we (and our guests) ever had, especially since they built their kitchen and equipment entirely from scratch to make it extra special. Highly recommend!!

  The ONLY choice.

  I have had the honor of working with Heirloom Fire twice now. The first was for our wedding in 2018. The second, just this past weekend, for my wife's 40th birthday on our farm.
  
  For context, I am a photographer and have shot many weddings. There are plenty of good caterers who make good food. There are a few that are great.
  
  Heirloom Fire is special. Chef James Gop and his team will make your event special. James is a deep and lovely soul who truly cares about his craft and wants to share it with good people. We are incredibly grateful just to know James, let alone to have him and his team provide for us twice over. What he does is an art form: a sensory experience that becomes a cornerstone of your day, your guests journeying through his kitchen, conversing with his skilled staff and him, watching as their food is prepared in a manner they have never seen before.
  
  Again, there are plenty of caterers that make good or great food. Heirloom's culinary creations are well above the rest. Michelin star quality food presented in a Michelin star quality way. None of this is hyperbolic. The conversation around the dinner table becomes about the food. "The best chicken I've ever had!" and "I didn't know carrots could taste like that!" are actual quotes by our guests. About chicken and carrots!! From start to finish, James and Heirloom will craft a menu of your dream dinner, each and every bite more sublime than the last.

  It's hard to put into words how unbelievably talented and special the Heirloom Fire family is. And I certainly wish there was a way to give more than a five star review here, because working with Heirloom Fire was a 5+ star experience. We were lucky enough to have Jim and his team cater our October wedding and they truly made it into the most magical and memorable evening. Our guests from across the country have continued to rave about the most delicious food, the unique presentation and everything in between. It was no surprise to us that the Heirloom team exceeded our expectations. Working with Jim before our wedding to finalize our menu was a particularly special experience in itself. Jim's attention to detail and more importantly, unbelievable passion for food and the work he does is truly inspiring. We're just hoping to be invited as guests to another Heirloom Fire event soon!

  Working with James and his team was by far my favorite part of my wedding! He is deeply passionate about food and it shows in the quality of local sustainable ingredients he uses, the colors and presentation, the attention to detail, the taste, and the incredible end result. The overall experience is interactive and sensual and the next day most of our guests realized they didn't take any photos with me and my husband but got plenty with the food! They were truly a pleasure to work with, both friendly and professional. Thank you Heirloom Fire for an incredible event.

  Jim and his Heirloom Fire team were simply the best! From beginning to end, with the fresh food prepared in front of you, to the pressing of the coffee beans to go with dessert, everything was expertly handled! I had guests coming up to me after the wedding saying that it was one of the best weddings that they had ever attended! I highly recommend Heirloom Fire for your catering needs. What a memorable experience Jim and his team created for my daughter and her special day!

  Based on all the reviews and recommendations we expected great things. But the food, the aesthetic, the set-up, the service, the treatment of our guests, the professionalism, and the clean-up all exceeded those high expectations. All through the night our guests kept telling us how perfect everything was and that they never experienced anything like it. The food blew everyone away and the "kitchen" enchanted everyone. We also got great compliments about how the staff was on top of everything -- always cheerful and helpful -- yet unobtrusive. Jim and Magdalena have a passion for excellence and it shows. It was all perfect!

  We used Heirloom Fire for my daughters wedding and they were exceptional! The quality of the food, their method of preparing the food (over open iron wood stoves), the food presentation and the way in which they interacting with the guests is truly unique. Jim Gop, the owner, is a delight to work with and takes his craft very seriously. It shows in the end result. The food was delicious! Could not recommend him more highly!!

  I can't say enough good things about Heirloom Fire! James, Magdalena and the entire team were absolutely amazing! They not only make delicious food, they create an entire experience that is unique, special and completely unforgettable. They created such a beautiful backdrop to our reception and literally left our guests (and ourselves) in awe. The way they cook the food and set up their stations is spectacular and unlike anything you've ever seen before. They were also so professional, friendly and communicative. The weather did NOT cooperate with us on our wedding day, and I was so glad to have HF there - they knew exactly what to do when it started raining and jumped into action like complete old pros. I don't know what I would have done with a less experienced caterer. Everything about their operation is incredible and of the highest caliber. I can't recommend HF highly enough. Hiring them was the best decision we made!

  James, Magdalena and THE ENTIRE TEAM were consummate professionals. Not just fantastic at their job, but their passion & the joy they get from doing the work is evident in their positive disposition and quality of their output. I had multiple guests from my wedding comment that 1) "This is the best wedding food I've ever had!!" 2) "The caterers are all so pleasant! They're on top of their game, and with a smile on their faces!" and 3) The entire food set up is GORGEOUS." All of those comments, as the bride, were music to my ears AND I agree with whole-heartedly. Heirloom Fire was the best darn wedding caterer I could ever have imagined and they really helped craft our wedding day into the extremely special occasion it was, at the Basilica in Hudson, NY. Thank you, James and team!!

  I don't have enough words to describe what a wonderful experience we had with Heirloom Fire. Now that the wedding is over Jim feels more like a friend than a vendor we hired. Our venue was a gilded age mansion and Jim was able to take what his team does so well and "glam it up" so to speak to fit our venue. Everything from cocktail hour, to the dramatic entrance of dinner, to the craft cocktails and late night cuisine was absolutely perfect... I am seriously salivating thinking back on it. The experience was like nothing I've been a part of at any event and I think that's what made it so special. During the event almost every guest told us that this was by far the best food that they had ever had at a wedding and that the entire experience was something they would always remember. The only word for it is magical. The other thing that set Jim and his team apart was their dedication to giving me and my husband a day that was custom and special to us. I unfortunately have to deal with wheat and dairy allergies. I let Jim know about these allergies early on in the planning process with the focus being "don't ruin the food for the entire wedding because I have allergies". Jim never wavered and ensured that not only my guests had an amazing meal but that I was also taken care of. What this manifested itself into was almost an entirely gf/df spread that was absolutely spectacular. Jim made homemade gf bread, late night gf pizza, an entirely gf dinner menu, gf beignets, cast iron skillets of gf cobbler with a special dairy free glaze, gf graham crackers for s'mores... seriously the list goes on and on, I'm just touching on a few. The point I'm trying to make is that Jim is more than a caterer. He cares so deeply about giving his clients the most special day ever and that is so evident in his food and the detail that he puts on every element of the event. Hiring Jim was the best decision we could have made. Thank you for everything Jim & HF team! xo Adrianne and Chris

  Aside from marrying my own wife, choosing Heirloom Fire to cater our wedding was the best decision I've ever made. The unique food, experience, and service... it all truly made our day so special. The menu was inventive and transcended anything you could imagine being served for a large group - and every single guest was blown away by how delicious it all tasted... our foodie friends and family are still talking about it weeks later. Heirloom Fire's work and aesthetic is like a performance, and it added a really cool "experiential" element to the event. Jim and his team clearly have a passion for what they do and it shows in the output and their professionalism. They were extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the process (which including a very extravagant tasting), and we didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of. I would recommend Heirloom Fire for ANY event - weddings, parties, my own funeral, etc.

  Jim and his team are so amazing. My guests were blown away by the food and service. The chickens!!!! I mean seriously, the chickens are the best chickens I've ever had. And the carrots! Don't even get me started on the carrots. I'm a pastry chef in New York, and my guests came expecting something great and Heirloom fire just blew everyone away. I mean, I've had Jim's food, so I knew what to expect, but he even exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds. I can't tell you how many guests have asked me to get them recipes. My only regret from my wedding is that my husband and I didn't get to have a solo hour with the charcuterie station before the guests arrived. Or a beer with Jim after it was all said and done. He is so clearly loving his work and having fun with his team. There is so much passion and love in the food. What's more he makes planning painless. He is so responsive and organized. Every step of the way was great. I can't recommend Heirloom Fire highly enough. They really know how to throw a party.

  Jim and his team are true artists, from the food to the decor every element was thoughtfully executed. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience! Our guests were thrilled and enamored with the open kitchen and the staff was courteous and service amazing! I highly recommend them!

  Not sure I can really put into words how amazing the experience was to work with Jim and Magdalena. I say ‘work with’ but that puts my involvement with them on an equitable footing…which it was clearly not. They took our idea of a wedding involving nearly 200 guests and turned it into a wonderful intimate affair far exceeding anything we could possibly have imagined.
  Looking for catering/event coordination? Then stop right here…Heirloom Fire and Magdalena Events…cross everyone else off your list and you will not go wrong.
  Would not hesitate to recommend … and in fact am looking for an excuse to do a similar event again. Obviously can’t use the excuse of a wedding (The wife would kill me!!) but trust me I will find a way…Maybe Summer 2017 … a 1st Wedding anniversary.
  Many thanks to you and all who put some much effort in.
