    best wedding caterer you will find!!

    Brandon, Erica & team were AMAZING to work with! We could not recommend them anymore, and had an incredible experience working with them for our wedding. The process of working with them was seamless and their food + execution was flawless. We enjoyed working with them to craft a menu based on our vision combined with their guidance on what is seasonal and made the most sense for our desires. Our guests were raving about the food for weeks. Every request they accommodated and fulfilled flawlessly and creatively. We couldn't recommend a family style meal with Hunt & Harvest any more. Our cocktail hour menu was impeccable and we loved every single passed item along with the stations. Their service was amazing throughout the whole night, and Brandon + Erica checked in with us + our parents throughout to make sure everything was going smoothly.

    The entire menu was custom designed for us by them. We loved not just getting a standard "pick package A or B, pick 4 entrees from our options" etc. We loved really curating with them what we wanted.

    The sliders and chicken tenders for the after party were a hit!!!

    Exceptional Catering by Hunt & Harvest

    We worked with Hunt & Harvest, the exclusive caterer at Lion Rock, and now we fully understand why, they were absolutely exceptional. The food was incredible from start to finish, and our guests are still raving about it. Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and perfectly executed.

    Our tasting with Brandon was amazing, he truly blew us away. His creativity, attention to detail, and passion for what he does came through in every bite, and the final menu on our wedding day exceeded even our highest expectations.

    Beyond the food, the entire Hunt & Harvest team was a dream to work with. They were professional, organized, and so attentive throughout the entire process. Everything ran seamlessly, and they managed the weekend with such care and ease that we were able to fully enjoy it.

    We’re so grateful we had the chance to work with Hunt & Harvest and couldn’t recommend them more highly. They played such a big part in making our wedding at Lion Rock unforgettable. If you’re considering them, absolutely do it!

    Best Decision!

    Hunt & Harvest food is incredible, and was even more so on our wedding day! I’ve been a fan of their grab-and-go food in Millbrook for years, and knew they had to be our caterer when we got married in Ancram, NY on August 23, 2025.

    All of the food was outstanding—we had a hard time narrowing down our favorites at the tasting! But more importantly, the food stood up on the wedding day and tasted exactly the same as when we fell in love with our menu items at our tasting. The corn & burrata ravioli was spectacular, and everyone couldn’t stop raving about the short rib with the Hillrock sauce (my husband’s family’s whiskey company).

    The charcuterie grazing board was stunning, and our guests couldn’t shut up about it!

    I look forward to partnering with H&H for many celebrations in the future!

    Wedding Review!

    We absolutely loved working with Hunt & Harvest for our wedding! The food was incredible, the service was seamless, and every guest raved about the meal. Brandon and his team went above and beyond, he truly felt like family. We couldn’t recommend them more!

    We love Hunt & Harvest!

    For our outdoor wedding, Hunt & Harvest was by far the best choice! They were able to feed our ~170 person wedding with the most amazing food and drink. Everyone told us it was the best food they ever ate at a wedding! Brandon, Cindie and Erica were great partners, they really listened to us and were flexible when necessary. It was a pleasure to work with their team! We absolutely recommend them!

    Hunt and harvest are the only caterers you should hire!

    Absolutely LOVE Hunt and Harvest, Brandon and his team made our families so happy that we performed our first dance for our parents... in his kitchen at our tasting! Our wedding was in the NY Times, and Hunt and Harvest deserve all of the press love in the world, truly, because of how beautiful their food is, the way they care, the way they make your day feel like it's their top priority... could NOT recommend them more if I tried!!! With so much love and gratitude. - Liv Schreiber + Kyle Shaub

    amazing food & incredible service

    We couldn’t have asked for a better caterer for our wedding. The food was absolutely incredible—creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they’d ever had! Everything came out perfectly. Can't recommend H&H enough!

    Cout not have imagined a better dining experience for our big day

    Simply put, Brandon and his team created a truly special dining experience for one of the most important days of our lives. The food was unforgettable. From the passed apps to the entrees, desserts, and perfectly paired wines, every bite was decadent and deeply satisfying. We didn’t need a separate catering option for the after-party. Hunt & Harvest provided more than enough to keep everyone full and happy all night long. We’re so grateful to Brandon, Erica, and the entire H&H team for bringing so much joy to our guests through their incredible food and warm, seamless service. They were wonderful to work with throughout the planning process, in fact, the tasting was one of our favorite moments.

    Delicious and unique!

    We used Hunt & Harvest for our rehearsal dinner and wedding day, and were simply floored by the quality and presentation of their food. They were easy to partner with and very thoughtful from day 1, working with us on tailored menu inspirations and inventive options for our guests. They provide their couples with an array of options after discussing palette and dining preferences, and our tasting experience was exceptional and left us so excited for our wedding weekend. We took the option for family style dining at our outdoor rehearsal dinner in late summer, which was so fun for everyone, and the food at the cocktail hour and reception received deservedly high praise from all of our guests. Bottom line - H&H is far from “standard” wedding food, and provided an incredibly unique, delicious, and memorable dining experience!

    H&H is the best!

    Hunt and Harvest was better than we could have hoped for. They catered another family member’s wedding a few years ago so we knew that we were getting the best. They were very organized, listened to what we wanted, and pretty much made everything we wanted come true. They worked great with our wedding planner and most importantly – the food and service was fantastic!

    Don’t look any further-Hunt and Harvest is the one!

    The talented staff at Hunt and Harvest and co-founder/chef, Brandon Scimeca, made my son’s wedding one of the most memorable weekends. The food for the rehearsal dinner and wedding was not only restaurant quality but the presentation was creative and beautiful. My guests are still talking about how delicious the food was and that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. The staff was extremely attentive and supportive to all our dietary needs. I cant say enough about Hunt and Harvest and highly recommend them.

    Catering superstars

    We couldn’t be happier and more appreciative of all the care, effort, and talent that Hunt & Harvest put into making our spring wedding in upstate New York spectacular. Brandon worked with us to craft a menu that reflected our pescatarian preferences and included everyone in all the deliciousness, which was important to us. Our guests are still talking about the food, so many months later. And, we received glowing comments from those with dietary allergies/restrictions, who loved that they were able to partake in the majority of food offerings at a big event and not feel like an outsider in that regard. We'd happily throw another wedding just so we could hire them again. Brandon and his team are true superstars.

    Succulent Summer Repast

    Our guests are still raving about the food at our daughter's wedding. Brandon created a feast both for the eyes and the stomach! From the corn risotto to the crab cakes to the steak, every bite was a delight. And the staff was quick, personable and efficient. If you want an amazing caterer in the Berkshires or beyond, one who will deliver upscale culinary food, Brandon and Hunt and Harvest are a perfect choice for any event.

    We ate so well all weekend!

    Brandon and his team did an incredible job preparing the food for our rehearsal dinner, wedding and after party. Our guests are still raving about the food from our wedding. H&H had an incredible attention to detail and each dish was thoughtfully prepared. Their dishes are fresh and unique, and the food overall was fantastic. It was a wonderful experience overall working with them and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

    Five-star restaurant quality food!

    We were matched with Hunt & Harvest when we decided to have our wedding at Lion Rock Farm in Sharon, CT, and what a fantastic situation we found ourselves in. From the get-go, Brandon from H&H was responsive, collaborative, willing to listen to our every whim, and above all, a true culinary genius. My husband is vegan, and we wanted to make sure he had copious options to eat at his own wedding. Brandon didn't miss a beat, and was able to make the most fantastic menu of vegan and non-vegan dishes that everyone could enjoy. It never felt like we were calling out the differences in the food - the side dishes just happened to be vegan and no one had to feel like they were an outsider in any way! It's a small thing like that, that makes everyone feel included and welcomed at a wedding. Multiple people came up and told us afterward that this was the best food they had ever had at a wedding - and one guest even said the smoked chicken was the "best chicken he had ever had in his life." Needless to say, H&H's work is absolutel restaurant-quality. H&H did our Friday night rehearsal dinner and welcome party as well, kicking off the weekend with a beautiful, alfresco, Tuscan-inspired dinner and cocktail party, which was also a huge hit. Make sure you get the nutella bomboloni on your menu! H&H also staffs the best servers in the business. Each and every server, bartender, and staffmember was so friendly, cool, and helpful at every turn. We could not be happier that booking Lion Rock Farm led us to Brandon and Hunt & Harvest - truly couldn't have dreamt up a better catering company for our wedding.

    Hunt and Harvest, the best!

    Our daughter got married a couple of weeks ago in Amenia, NY and it was delightful. A beautiful place on a beautiful day with a wonderful couple all conspired to deliver a great day. But perhaps the best decision of the day was hiring Hunt and Harvest. The food, the service, the selections, their incredible professionalism, all enhanced the magic of the day. Brandon and the team at Hunt and Harvest are the only choice for a special event!

    The most exquisite, delicious, unparalleled, show-stopping...

    So many superlatives to describe Brandon, his team, and the delicious food they served. I was first lucky enough to be a guest at a friend's wedding that Brandon catered. Delighted by the harvest table at cocktail hour, my jaw was dropping by the time I sat down to dinner... I turned to the table and said this is the best food I've ever had at a wedding, and then realized there was no need for a qualifier. Brandon serves the best food I've ever had, period. When it came to my wedding, he was the first vendor I booked. At the tasting with my family, my mom's first response was, "Well, this is guaranteed to be a great party." And it was -- with countless comments from guests asking who was the caterer?! But Brandon is more than a caterer. He is an expert wedding professional, especially if you're getting married at a private residence, with all of the challenges that go with it... His recommendations were flawless, and he went above and beyond to guide us throughout the planning process. Follow all of his advice, is my advice :)

    Incredible experience, friendly people, delicious food

    Brandon from Hunt & Harvest did an amazing job at our wedding and we truly couldn't have been happier! The food was amazing, and our guests were consistently raving about how impressed they were with everything (especially the stone fruit and burrata with bee pollen!) In addition, Brandon couldn't have been more of a pleasure to work with – he was helpful, friendly, organized, and went above and beyond. We can't recommend Hunt & Harvest more!

    Wow Your Guests with Hunt & Harvest!

    If you're looking to impress your guests, here's where to start. I knew Brandon and his team would do an amazing job but WOW. His team is extremely talented and our wedding was such an exceptional experience. Guests have not stopped complimenting the food, service and execution of our event. Each compliment starts with one dish that was served and continues on through the full list from hor d'oeuvres to dessert. Unlike any other wedding experience our guests have had because of the level of skill and artistry. One of my favorite memories from our wedding is a moment at the bar mid-way through dinner service, smiling so big and high fiving Brandon because he knocked it out of the park.

    Best farm to table food/experience you could ask for!!

    WHERE DO I START? Brandon + Hunt & Harvest is essentially why my husband & I picked Lion Rock (they are the exclusive vendor). What amazing attention to detail + they worked with us to curate our DREAM menu - an asian-inspired theme using the freshest hudson valley ingredients for friday night (they had never done this before - but worked with us to creatively come up with a menu) + traditional farm to table on our wedding night. Their beautiful charcuterie board alone is worth hiring them for!!

    Our friends & family proactively said it was the best wedding food they have had - like a Michelin farm to table restaurant!

    Incredible

    I can’t recommend Hunt & Harvest enough. Our wedding was two weeks ago and our family and friends are still raving about the food. The food is truly as beautiful as it is delicious. Brandon was so helpful and collaborative throughout the entire process. If you are looking for seasonal ingredients and a beautiful meal, Hunt & Harvest is the way to go.

    Above and Beyond

    My wife and I got married at Lion Rock Farm in Sharon, CT last month and many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Hunt and Harvest, led by Brandon Scimeca, was one of the big reasons why. He and his team are the epitome of professionalism and class. But let me tell you about the food. When we had our tasting, it was our plan to have a first course and entree. But then he brought out the Mushroom Risotto. It was so good that we had to add a course, and Brandon was totally on board. He is a pleasure to work with, and provides an immensely stacked array of options for the reception, as well as hors d'oeuvres. My wife is a vegetarian, and we were able to create a perfect mix of vegetarian options along with plenty of food for our carnivorous guests. Everything was served in a timely fashion, and the cocktail hour harvest station along with the passed canapés table and dessert bites left nobody nobody hungry at the end of the night! If you’re looking to have the PERFECT wedding, look no further. Hunt and Harvest is above and beyond anything you could imagine.

    Guests still raving about the food weeks after the wedding...

    Brandon and his team created an incredible dining experience for our wedding. Our friends and family are still raving about the quality of the food weeks later. Hunt & Harvest uses locally sourced, fresh foods and ingredients that align with the seasons and come together in a truly special way. The food was unbelievable and the presentation was equally as impressive and elaborate - from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the dessert and everything in between. Brandon and his team were flexible and considerate as our wedding date bounced around the calendar due to COVID and our guest list had multiple iterations and even last minute cancelations. He was truly a pleasure to work with in every capacity and we would recommend Hunt & Harvest to anyone!

    Divine wedding food

    Hunt and Harvest came recommended by my wedding planner, Stephanie Holst-Grubbe, and they did not disappoint. The menu is far from your typical catering menu - it’s modern, locally sourced, and it makes your mouth water just reading it! While not cheap, the food will blow your guests away. I had a family member who kept saying, “don’t spend money on the food! No one will remember it!” Well, they ate their words, literally, and the next day sheepishly admitted they were wrong in this case. Everyone remembered the food - particularly Brandon’s delicious short ribs. I should also note that my wedding was this fall in the middle of the pandemic (we couldn’t postpone because of a family health concern) - Brandon was completely on top of all the local Covid guidelines and worked with us to figure out how to safely serve food and drinks to a crowd that was fairly anxious about Covid! I feel so lucky to have had him as my caterer.

    A master & creative genius!

    Brandon is an absolute artist. Not only is his vision 5-star, his execution matched and surpassed all! He was my rock during such a stressful time to plan a wedding, the calm within the storm with the patience of a saint. He helped guide us with menu selections so effortlessly, creating gorgeous magazine-worthy tables to match the stunning backdrop of the farm & the early autumn change of season. Everything was exquisite- with all of our guests raving! We will be recommending him to friends and family from the Litchfield hills to the Hamptons and we certainly look forward to working with him again!

    Exceptional!

    Where to even begin.

    Words cannot fully express how grateful we are to have had Brandon cater our wedding; he is an exceptional chef and we cannot imagine a better catering team.

    Food is very important to us so we knew from the start that we needed a caterer who would leave a lasting impression. We had expressed to Brandon that we wanted some of our favorite dishes to be incorporated into our special day. He curated the most incredible menu for us - from the hors d’oeuvres to dinner and dessert, every single dish was absolutely phenomenal. Our guests are still raving about the food, and even some of our toughest critics have expressed how delicious everything was.

    Brandon was so great to work with in general, and was so helpful with guiding us through all of the COVID-related changes. He and his team played an integral part in the day running smoothly, despite all of the restrictions in place.

    To say we were stressed out with wedding planning during the COVID pandemic is an understatement, but one thing we took solace in was knowing that the food would be incredible - Brandon and his team truly delivered.

    We cannot recommend Hunt & Harvest enough!

    Attention to Detail Unmatched

    Brandon and the team at Hunt & Harvest catered our wedding and rehearsal dinner in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. They made adjustments such as incorporating social distancing protocols, such as replacing the buffet with individual servings and giving each guest bottled water, small things that made a noticeable difference.

    Their food quality, taste, and presentation is superb; nothing tops it at any price point. Despite a tough year for all involved they made our wedding special and for a 48-hour period things felt normal again.

    The team at Hunt & Harvest is incredibly hard working and truly loves their craft, which is serving others and making big days special. We wish them all continued success and brighter days ahead!

    Charcuterie Board Of Our Dreams

    When people are still talking about the charcuterie board MONTHS after your wedding, you know you made the right choice with your caterer. We knew we made the right decision with Brandon and Hunt and Harvest even before our first tasting - on our first phone call with him, we knew he was super creative and collaborative. Food is super important to us, and we wanted our wedding to be no different. He took all of our favorite foods, worked with what would be in season, took one of our favorite salads in The City and created the most amazing menu. Our tasting was an incredible experience and the food was absolutely phenomenal, not just when he cooked for the two of us but even for all 168 of our guests with only a cooking tent at his disposal. Brandon is a true artist and he truly cares about the food he prepares and you can tell. We have been to our fair share of weddings and it’s safe to say that the catering is not really ever the highlight, until our own. From the passed apps and bounty table to the family-style meal, everything was absolutely beyond delicious and not at all what you think of when you think of “wedding food”. So do yourself and your tastebuds a favor and hire Brandon and Hunt and Harvest IMMEDIATELY.

    Fresh, creative and delicious!

    The first time we looked at LionRock Farm was for my daughters wedding 3 years ago. We stopped by on a whim and Brandon happened to be there breaking down after a Saturday night wedding.
    In about two minutes my fiancé said: well if she doesn’t get married here, we will. Well she didn’t, and we did!

    Brandon was great that day 3 years ago and proceeded to nail our wedding on all counts. He was spot on with every detail. The food was fantastic, creative and fresh. Everyone is still talking about it!
    He was great. His staff was polite, professional and friendly. I can’t say enough. HIRE HIM!

    Unforgettable!

    When we were looking at venues and fell in love with Lion Rock Farm, one of the main reasons we knew the venue was right for us was because we would get to work with Brandon. Brandon did not just cater our wedding with his team at Hunt & Harvest, but he was also there every step of the way to ensure that we had the right team surrounding us to help us plan our wedding. Brandon and Hunt & Harvest worked to ensure we had our perfect menu at our wedding and accommodated every request that we had. From our taco station to the harvest table, to the passed hors d'oeuvres, to the peaches and burrata appetizer, to the braised short rib and branzino entrees, to the after-party grilled cheese bites and mini sliders, there was no shortage of delicious and award-worthy food. We got so many compliments from our wedding guests on the food, most saying it was the best that they ever had, wedding or otherwise. I made sure that I tried everything, because I knew I didn't want to miss out! Our wedding day was more than we could have ever asked for and we feel lucky and grateful to have had Brandon and Hunt & Harvest as our team.

    Delicious Food, Beautiful Presentation & Amazing Service

    Brandon and his team at Hunt & Harvest catered three events (welcome dinner, reception and brunch) at Lion Rock Farm for my daughter's wedding in September. Each was truly perfection. From the planning stage through execution, Brandon and his team excelled. Brandon has an amazing ability to take your vision and elevate it with his creativity and expertise. His food is delicious, his presentation is beautiful and his service is impeccable. And somehow Brandon was omnipresent at each event ensuring that not only everything food and service related were perfect but that the bridal party was personally catered to. His personal touch was astounding. Luckily for us, Brandon provided more than catering. He takes the time to understand his client and helps match you with a planner (if needed) and was super helpful in choosing locations and set up for each event as well. And finally, Brandon is an absolute delight to work with. His patience, calm demeanor, energy, attention to detail and responsiveness are remarkable. We could not have had a better experience.

    Delicious and creative farm-to-table dishes with bold, beautiful displays

    I heartily endorse Brandon of Hunt-Harvest for a wedding of food your guests will rave about! From the beginning, Brandon was supportive in helping to develop the menu for my daughter's wonderful wedding. They wanted a creative, healthy mix of flavors and textures. As all good chef's will tell you, it starts with quality ingredients. This is where Hunt-Harvest shines; They don't skimp on anything. The highlight of the Cocktail Hour was an amazing Harvest Table. Our guests were amazed by the variety of food choices and their quality. He also expertly executed a Taco and a Raw Bar. And then came the plated dinners, which were served hot to 250 guests. This was all done at a Hudson River farm where a temporary kitchen was constructed. Brandon excels at this! If you're looking for delicious and innovative dishes to wow your guests, definitely talk to Brandon. He's flexible and accommodating. Good luck to you!

    Wonderful, kind, delicious

    Brandon and his team were a dream to work with! In terms of menu, he was eager to listen to what we wanted (almost vegetarian), to let us try a range of options, and to pull together a menu that was even more perfect for us than we could have imagined. In terms of logistics, he was, by far, the most helpful, flexible, positive, and can-do of anyone we worked with and pulled off a complicated and perfect event (outdoor, tented wedding, not at a venue). He also helped us with mixers and cocktails, so that we could do the alcohol ourselves. I highly highly highly recommend him!

    Our best decision!!

    My husband and I got married at Lion Rock Farm in Sharon, CT on June 15, 2019. We had a fairytale wedding weekend, but from what we have heard, a big highlight for our guests was the food. Hunt + Harvest catered our wedding and it was by far the best decision we made. We knew we wanted something special, unique, and memorable. That's exactly what Brandon gave us. Brandon was the most incredible person to work with. He was always available to help us, share his advice, knowledge, and give us input- which we so very much appreciated! This really alleviated many of the stressors that accompany wedding planning. He helped us create a beautiful and delicious family style menu of all local farm fresh ingredients that highlighted the season and area perfectly. Fresh, local ingredients..this was key for us! The food at our wedding wasn't going to be boring or predicable. Everything that he promised, he delivered beyond our expectations! Our initial tasting was so impressive. Compressed watermelon?! Yes! Once we sampled what was going to be on our menu, we could not wait for our wedding day and for our guests to enjoy it as well.

    Besides being absolutely delicious, everything Brandon and his team created was SO aesthetically pleasing. I love a good food photo!! The food was one of the most complimented aspects of our wedding. Every single person commented how incredible the food was, saying it was the best they've ever had at a catered event. Four months later, our guests are still raving about it! Even the coffee!! From our gorgeous harvest table (my personal favorite, no two are the same!), to our carefully selected passed hors d'oeuvres, thoughtfully curated family style menu (highly recommend family style!), desserts, coffee; it was all perfection. Brandon is so creative and talented and it was both fun and inspiring working so closely with him throughout the catering and wedding planning process.

    This was truly a unique and memorable experience for us. We would recommend Hunt + Harvest a million times over. We have been to many other weddings (where the food often feels generic) and interviewed several other caterers for our wedding; no one compares to the passion, quality, flavor, attention to detail, creativity, presentation, service and uniqueness that Hunt + Harvest gives you. If you're looking for an invaluable asset to your team of vendors on your wedding day, this is it! You will wow your guests.

    Thank you Brandon and team for making our day magic and for taking such good care of us. We are beyond grateful. We will find a reason to work with you again!! We are still hoping that one day you offer cooking classes, we'll be first in line!!

    Exceptional

    We hired Hunt & Harvest to cater our wedding this past July and cannot recommend this company enough. From beginning to end, the Hunt & Harvest team delivered at every level:

    1. The BEST food: My husband and I love to eat and wanted to offer a food experience outside the norm. Brandon worked with us to build a custom menu designed around our tastes, supported the best local & seasonal ingredients of the Catskills. This included eight passed for d’oeuvres, a multi-course family style meal and several dessert canapés. It’s been almost three months and I’m still hearing compliments about how amazing the food was on a weekly basis. My foodie friends and picky relatives were equally impressed. I’m very glad Brandon (the Chef) forced me to sit down and enjoy it too!

    2. The People: Brandon and his team were extremely pleasant to work with throughout the whole planning process. The catering was by far the least of our worries. They communicated well and executed flawlessly. On the day of our wedding, there was a horrific heatwave that brought their catering tent to 100+ degrees. They didn't miss a beat.

    3. Overall value: this was by far the easiest vendor to work with and worth every penny spent. We interviewed a lot of caterers - nothing else compares to the quality, attention and creativity you will get with H&H. Just hire them.

    I DO (love Hunt & Harvest)

    Hunt and Harvest catered our wedding at Lion Rock Farm. Honestly, it was the best decision we made in wedding planning. Brandon was professional, fun, opionated when it mattered most, and so easy to get along with. Plus, he's a damn good chef. The food was BEYOND good. Everything. The apps. The entrees. The desserts. And his team was SO great. Now I only wish that I could have the H&H team caterer every wedding I attend.....

    Incredible Food!!!

    Hunt & Harvest catered our daughter's wedding at Lion Rock Farm in Sharon, CT on September 1, 2019. The food was simply incredible! Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was and how beautifully it was presented. Brandon's farm to table menus combine the freshest ingredients to create a truly unique and memorable experience. Everything tasted unique and tailor made for us! I whole heartedly recommend Hunt & Harvest!

    Next Level

    We could not have begun to imagine that our wedding food would be what it was, or that any wedding food could be that good, but Hunt & Harvest delivered beyond all expectations. We have received so many compliments on the food at our wedding- by far the most complimented aspect of our wedding.
    We met Brandon at our venue, and while he in no way pressured us to use him, it immediately became clear from the first conversation that hiring him was a no-brainer. When we went for the tasting, it felt like a chef tasting at a 5-star NYC restaurant. Seeing his kitchen, and the passion that he puts into each dish, and curating each menu was absolutely incredible.
    Please look no further, Hunt & Harvest is the best of the best! Thank you Brandon, and team for exceeding all expectations, and being such a pleasure to work with!

    Best food, best weekend, best person

    “Your food was fantastic. So f*cking good.”

    “We ate like kings all weekend”

    “I have never been to a wedding that had good food - until yours.”

    We had an amazing wedding weekend for so many reasons. But as far as we can tell, the highlight for all of our guests was the food. Post wedding, almost every single person commented on how exceptional the food was. I don’t understand how Brandon is able to cook food so amazing for almost 200 people but he can and it’s great. He catered our welcome BBQ, our Saturday reception, and our Sunday brunch. Each meal was fantastic in its own special, unique way. Everyone knew he was doing our whole weekend and by Sunday, it was clear that our guests were far more interested in tasting his food than talking to us!

    Brandon did an elevated BBQ for our Friday night dinner that was some of the best BBQ we’ve ever had. There was brisket and brick chicken, as well as incredible sides (mac and cheese,, grilled corn on the husk, coleslaw etc.). He threw in some exceptional, thoughtful touches (such as pickled blueberries) and we asked him to recreate a hot sauce that is special to us, which he executed flawlessly. Brandon is so creative and caring about his food, and it really shows - not just in the taste, but also in his beautiful presentation. We ate it all - everyone had at least seconds if not thirds.

    The reception food was a completely different vibe, but also perfect - showcasing how versatile he is. Brandon made one of the most amazing duck dishes I have ever tasted (not to mention completely Instagram worthy – if you are into that kind of thing). We did both a main, as well as some family-style sides - largely because we wanted everyone to be able to taste multiple of his creations. Our cocktail hour was filled with our favorite dishes in perfect, bite sized forms. His harvest table looks like something out of a movie. And our Sunday brunch was a gorgeous spread of bagels, lox, yogurt, egg sandwiches and fruit (yellow watermelon??? Who knew, but it was exceptional). Brandon’s food really does make the soul feel good. It energized everyone through the weekend.

    But it’s not just his food that’s amazing - we loved getting to know him over the course of planning. He is a wonderful person, and a creative thinker - willing to consider anything. He will tell you if something is a bad idea and come up with original recipes if you want something special. Getting to see how he thinks about food and the whole catering process was a definite highlight of planning the wedding. In fact, one of the reasons we chose Lion Rock Farm was because we knew we would get to work so closely with him.

    You will not find a more creative, compassionate caterer. If you are in need of extra wedding guests, and have Brandon as your caterer, please call us because we would be DELIGHTED to have any excuse to eat his food again.

    A Whole Other Level Above Everyone Else

    Hunt and Harvest hit a home run for our wedding. My wife is a professional chef at a high-end restaurant in NYC. She is very critical about all aspects of the culinary arts - quality, ingredients, flavor profile, presentation, service... We wanted our guests to feel like they were having an alfresco summer gathering somewhere in Tuscany with the food being the centerpiece. Our friends and family had high expectations for the food.
    Brandon and his team were so easy to work with, and they delivered on all levels. All our guests said that the food was the best they've had compared to any wedding or party they've been to. It's been over a month since our wedding and our friends are still talking about the food. The passed hors devours and the market table were a huge hit. The 4-course dinner was just magical. People were saying, "even their coffee is amazing." That just goes to show that Hunt and Harvest put a lot into what they do, and they do it well.
    Brandon's team operated at such a high level of efficiency. I am still amazed at what they were able to accomplish, especially since our wedding venue had no running water or electricity.
    My wife and I had done a lot of research on food caterers (social media, reviews, websites, etc) and had a few tastings but no one came close to Hunt and Harvest. They made our special day so magical and exceeded all expectations, especially my wife's.

    Awesome food and a real pleasure to work with


    Hunt & Harvest provided exceptional food for our wedding, and Brandon was a pleasure to work with. My wife and I felt lucky to work with a bunch of great vendors, but Brandon was unsurpassed among them in his professionalism, kindness, good ideas, and attention to detail.

    Before we settled on Hunt & Harvest, my wife and I made a list of the 150 or so caterers we thought might be possible for our wedding in Kent, CT -- everyone from Westchester County to the Berkshires and from Hudson Valley to the Boston suburbs. We narrowed things down by looking at websites and Instagram pages, scrutinized online reviews, scheduled about a dozen calls, and finally solicited proposals. At the end of this process we selected Brandon because his food looked amazing, because everyone we could find who’d worked with him seemed to have a great experience, and because we thought that the prices seemed like a good value for the quality of his offerings.

    I’m happy to report that our experience was consistent with those first impressions. Brandon really took the time to understand what we like and what we were hoping for from the food at our wedding. Our initial tasting blew us away, and was followed by additional conversations to sort out passed hors d'oeuvres, desserts, and late-night food. Throughout the planning process, he asked great questions, was always very available for advice, and made us feel like we were in great hands and had nothing to worry about on the food side of things. Brandon also went above and beyond, connecting us to a mixology specialist, handling all sorts of complicated logistics about some pies we had brought down from Vermont, helping us fine-tune our order with rental company, formulating a plan for our vegan guests, and ensuring that all the dozens of details and logistics for our wedding day went off without a hitch.

    We also felt very well taken care of as bride and groom on the wedding day - Brandon saw to it that we had a chance to try all of the passed hors d'oeuvres, our table was first to be served during dinner (followed by our parents!), and he checked in with us throughout the night to be sure we were happy and ask if there was anything we needed, without detracting from the time we wanted to spend together and with our guests.

    At the end of the day, I would say that if food is important to you and Hunt & Harvest is within your budget, you absolutely won’t regret choosing them. My wife and I also thought that it was worth investing the time to really communicate to tell Brandon what we like and what we wanted for our wedding, since it meant that on the big day we wound up with a set of food that delighted us.

    Oftentimes food at a wedding can feel generic and tired, but Brandon stays on top of food trends and exciting ingredients, all while creating a meal that less adventurous eaters will still enjoy. We’ve also gotten a ton of compliments about the food at our wedding being the best food folks have had at a catered event, and it remains one of our favorite memories of the day. Hunt and Harvest was easy and comforting to work with, and really came through in the end.

    A night of perfection

    We could not have asked for more on our wedding night from Hunt & Harvest. Cocktail hour began with a perfect mix of small plates and a full mozzarella bar complete with numerous types of tomatoes, dressings and seasoning salts that had all of our guests in awe. The dinner/dessert was delicious and could not have been executed any better. Most importantly, everything that went into the night was personalized down to the last detail, and Brandon and the entire Hunt & Harvest team could not have been more of a pleasure to work with. The whole team was truly amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend Hunt & Harvest to anyone looking for a premier quality event.

    Most Amazing Food I've Ever Eaten

    AMAZING. If we had to pick one word to describe Hunt & Harvest, it would be that. Brandon made the entire process seamless, and really assisted us in making our wedding food fit our personalities - we loved how the food was an extension of the vibe of what we were trying to achieve on our wedding day. Hunt & Harvest provided the best “wedding food” that we have ever had, this is continuously what people keep telling us when reminiscing about our wedding day. If you want fresh, fun, delicious, and a personable caterer, Hunt & Harvest is it.

    Amazing Service from Brandon and Crew!

    My husband and I got married at Lion Rock Farm this past June, and hired Hunt & Harvest for our catering service. We could not have been more pleased with Brandon's service, expertise, flexibility and friendship before and during the wedding. We requested an all vegan menu, and Brandon was more than willing and excited to create a unique menu for us - it was delicious and all of the guests (even meat eaters) loved it! They were able to customize certain items, whether it be for cocktail hour or the family style dinner, to meet our needs. Every aspect of working with them was fanstastic and we would recommend their services to anyone! Thank you Brandon and Hunt & Harvest for EVERYTHING!

    Highest praise - truly a gem!

    If I could give Brandon and his amazing team more than 5 stars I would do so happily. Brandon is not only an extremely talented chef, but he is intuitive, creative and a consummate professional.

    My husband and I were married at Lion Rock Farm in October of last year and our guests still rave about the experience and the food - that harvest table alone has deservingly become Instagram famous!

    The weather was precarious, but I knew we were in good hands with Brandon's team. His food is seasonal, inventive and outstanding - from cocktail hour through brunch he didn't have one miss.

    But Brandon is so much more than a caterer - he was an event expert who listened to what we were looking for and delivered ten fold. He has a great eye, completely understood my vision, and the realities of wedding planning and even provided tips to save on expenses (which matter at each stage in a wedding). He and his team pivoted seamlessly when needed and recommended talented local vendor options so that we could truly lean into our surroundings while still achieving our aesthetic goals.

    Brandon is a gem of a human and he and his whole team allowed us to realize our wedding dream. Bottom line - I could not recommend him more highly!

    Brandon and his team are excellent! Highly recommend!

    From the tasting to the wedding day, the entire experience was phenomenal. Brandon created a custom menu for us that we absolutely loved (and so did everyone at the wedding). He was extremely professional and our wedding day went flawlessly. I cannot tell you how many times people said this was by far the best wedding food they’ve ever tasted. We absolutely loved the grilled short rib — that was our favorite. Thank you Brandon and the entire staff for making such delicious food on our special day!

    We could not have been happier with Brandon and team! The food was incredible - couldn't tell you how many compliments we got from our guests! From the presentation, to just the overall quality of taste and ingredients used, everything was perfection. Hunt & Harvest was incredibly professional and enthusiastic when it came to our big day. We loved working with them and would recommend to anyone in need of an amazing caterer with wonderful taste!

    Creative, beautiful, and delicious food!

    Brandon and Hunt & Harvest were tremendous. They catered our entire wedding weekend—rehearsal dinner, reception, brunch—and all of the food was creative, beautiful, and (most importantly) really delicious! Working with Brandon during the planning process was also a great experience. He was so open minded, collaborative, and enthusiastic about our ideas; he helped us create a really unique menu for every meal with food that was just perfect. All of our guests were so impressed (and full!). His food is simply spectacular. Don’t miss out on working with him!

    Excellent Caterer

    Hunt & Harvest was a great caterer! We appreciated the extensive list and creative list of appetizers and main courses. All of our guests raved about the food and appreciated all of the detail Hunt & Harvest put into the "Harvest Station". Brandon was great to work with and very flexible with our schedules!

    Wonderful and perfect in every way

    We had the great pleasure of working with Brandon for my goddaughter’s wedding for 220 people at Lion Rock Farm. What first impressed us was during the interview process. Brandon didn’t come to the meeting to tell us what he could (or would) do, but instead he asked the bride and groom about their vision, their tastes, their dreams. He LISTENED rather than reciting a sales pitch. He didn’t present ‘set menus’ but instead came up with an amazing custom menu based on local ingredients and the couple’s input. Everyone RAVED about the food, particularly the fall-off-the-bone short ribs which had been cooked for 3 days sou-vide! The presentation, especially of the bountiful harvest board, was spectacular and sophisticated without being pretentious, precious or stuffy. He was extremely flexible, attentive and creative when planning for people with food allergies and the kids’ meals. The service was perfectly attentive and gracious. I was a meeting planner for NBC Sports for over 25 years and worked with caterers all over the world. I can honestly say that Brandon’s food, service and professional attitude was among the best I ever encountered. His excellent and respectful working relationship with his fellow vendors ensured a seamless and perfect event. We would all recommend Brandon wholeheartedly.

    Oh man - we had such a lucky turn of events TWO WEEKS before our wedding that allowed Brandon and his team to swoop in and help save our wedding day. As our initial wedding venue failed to finish construction on time, we were left scrambling last minute to find a venue and caterer for our upstate wedding. Our wedding planner was very excited when she found out Brandon was available that day; once we met him we quickly realized why. Brandon traveled from Connecticut on a day's notice to meet with us at our initial visit (which was simultaneously our final walk thru) to our newly picked venue 12 days before the event. Even on such short notice, we were able to choose from a variety of menu items for cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert, one sounding more delicious than the next. Our wedding was May 5th, so we threw out the idea of some Cinco de Mayo menu influence. Knowing that beggars can't be choosers this late in the game, I was ecstatic when Brandon effortlessly asked us what kind of tacos we preferred, if we'd like red or white sangria, etc. (This was in stark contrast to our last caterer who was struggling with the idea of even chips and salsa at cocktail hour so we had previously given up on the Mexican idea.) After months of stressing out about our previous venue and their caterer, we were finally excited about our wedding plans - as we should have been all along! Brandon was able to gather staff, equipment, and local, fresh ingredients in this short period of time, ultimately producing a meal that was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. Our guests (many NYC food snobs, other tough critics included a handful of older folk and a few picky little kids) raved about our wedding food, surprised that "wedding food" could actually taste so good. We also were told by several people that the waitstaff were wonderful too. Pro-tip: Make sure to eat at your wedding when you book Hunt & Harvest! If Brandon had a restaurant, we'd be regulars.

    I still can't get over how incredible Brandon and his team are. From our very first interaction to our wedding day, he was professional, kind, responsive and made some of the best food I've ever eaten. Our guests, other vendors and our venue coordinator were equally as impressed. Everything was flawless and perfectly executed. While we were signing our marriage certificate, Brandon brought us a little tray of 2 of each of our passed apps. It was one of the sweetest moments of the day (especially since we weren't able to eat that much during the rest of the reception). Everything about our food felt deeply personalized, which I never thought was possible for wedding food. And his harvest board?? OMG the harvest board was insane. Just look at his instagram. Incredible all around. Our guests raved and are still raving about his food.

The food is incredible , the service is impeccable . Brandon is “in the know” and will always give you his honest opinion and leaves no stone unturned. I recommend Brandon to everyone for a dinner party or a wedding of 300+

    Hunt & Harvest had us from hello when founder and chef Brandon Scimeca met us at Lion Rock Farm in Sharon, CT. Highly professional, uber-responsive, patient, creative, organized and visionary, Brandon guided us every step of the way in planning my daughter’s wedding and we could not have been happier with the outcome. We knew we were in good hands after the tasting, but he delivered above and beyond with restaurant-quality seasonal-inspired food – from a bountiful harvest table that still has our guests talking to beautifully plated entrees to inventive desserts. His wait staff was both polished and pleasant. Brandon also provided wise counsel on rentals and the bar. We could not have imagined a better caterer and partner than Hunt & Harvest.

    If you are looking for a wedding caterer, you must use Hunt & Harvest! Our wedding guests would not stop raving about the food at our June 2018 wedding, including that it was the best part of our wedding and that it was the best wedding food they had EVER had. These compliments came from the guests that have the highest food standards.

    Brandon customizes your wedding meal by giving a list of ingredients to rate and select from. He then uses his incredible talent and vision to create your dream dinner. Not only is the food delicious, the presentation is beautiful (seriously look at their Instagram). I am a pescatarian and he was able to put together a menu that I liked, but also catered to meat eating guests.

    Brandon is a pleasure to work with, flexible, always available, dependable and has incredible attention to detail. He coordinates well with other vendors and is very hands on. Our cocktail hour and dinner were run seamlessly. There are not enough amazing things to say about Hunt & Harvest!

    Hunt and Harvest came to our rescue after a previous venue disappointed us and was not ready for my daughters wedding. We met with the owner, Brandon, and we were immediately impressed by his demeanor, his professionalism, flexibility, and his ideas. With just 12 days from initial meeting to the wedding, we put a lot of responsibility in his hands. Together with Brandon, we came up with an extraordinary menu that I would be thrilled to order in a top restaurant. His creativity and unique ideas made us have full faith in him. He did all the ordering of not only food, but equipment and all necessary items for catering in a beautiful barn. Just 12 days after our initial meeting my daughters wedding took place this past Saturday, May 5th. I never could have dreamed that it would turn out so magnificently. The food was superb, the presentation was amazing and everything so very plentiful. My guests said that they were full after the constantly passed Hor d'Oeuvres, but once they saw the mains they managed to eat even more. Brandon suggested family style service and it was perfect so that guests could sample every selection of food. He promised alot and produced even more. Guests at the wedding even commented on the lovely, polite and helpful service staff he hired. It was an absolute delight working with Brandon and his team. Words cannot express the appreciation we have for Hunt and Harvest for producing such an extraordinary wedding dinner and party! We thank you with all our heart!

    Brandon and his team are fantastic. He met with us at the venue several months in advance of our big day to help us determine the layout and how the day would go. He was incredibly responsive throughout the process. He and his team had nearly everything set up the night before so that when we arrived at our venue for the dress rehearsal we were able to get a lot of details in place well in advance. The food is fantastic and we're still getting compliments 15 days later. His coconut cream pie was to die for. And, his team went above and beyond to assist with umbrellas when it started to rain prior to and after our on-site ceremony. We could not have made a better choice than to work with Hunt & Harvest. We would highly recommend Brandon and his to team to all.

    We were very fortunate to have Brandon cater our wedding last month. He was a joy to work with through the whole process, and was a perfect fit for what we wanted food-wise: locally grown and mostly vegetarian, with elegance but without being stuffy. We opted for family-style, and Brandon knocked it out of the park. The appetizers were all amazing, and the Harvest Table was stunning. Our visit to Brandon's commercial kitchen for the tasting let us know right away that we chose the correct caterer. His operation was spotless, and that gave us a lot of confidence that everything else he did was to the same standard. At and after the reception, our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed the dinner. We wouldn't be happier.

    Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had Brandon as my wedding caterer. Not only did he come up with our AMAZING California inspired menu with passed deserts (macaroon and mini s'mores cakes being my absolute favorite!). He also assisted me in finding local vendors and gave suggestions for the overall design of my reception and tables. Everyone was blown away by the food and staff and continued to come up to me throughout the night to let me know how wonderful it was. The short ribs were an absolute hit! I would recommended Brandon and his team over and over. Thank you Brandon for giving me everything and more. It was truly an amazing weekend and it wouldn't have been complete with you!

    Working with Brandon was a true pleasure from start to finish. Having just moved back from living in Japan for 2 years, my husband and I wanted to introduce some Asian flair to our hors d’oeuvres, and while this was not Brandon's specialty, he totally understood our vision and ran with it - but also brought in his own ideas and expertise at the right moments. The process was collaborative and fun, and the evening was all that we had hoped for and more! The hors d’oeuvres and dinner were both totally us and truly delicious (even very picky guests gave us positive feedback!) It felt like down-to-earth fine dining – what more could you want?! I can't recommend Hunt & Harvest highly enough for the creative bride and groom looking to create a non-fussy and delicious event.

    Brandon was beyond fantastic to work with! He was more than just a caterer, he was part of the entire wedding process and helped complete the vision for our whole weekend. He made it clear he didn't just care about the food but he cared for us and our entire wedding! He and his team added a unique and delicious element to our wedding. The food was spectacular and certainly not your typical wedding food. Our guests are still raving about it! We can't say enough wonderful things about working with Hunt & Harvest!

    Easily the best decision made throughout our entire wedding planning process was hiring Brandon. Not only did he prepare the most amazing meal for our guests, he helped coordinate and plan our dream wedding. He is much more than just a caterer. He gave us the best vendor recommendations and expert advice when we needed it. He and his team flawlessly executed each and every part of the night, from setting up to breaking down. His calming presence was so re-assuring when everything was getting crazy. I honestly can't say enough good things about Brandon, and can't thank him enough for pulling off our dream wedding! Amazing!!!

    Brandon was the most incredible caterer we could ever ask for. From the second we met him at our venue we knew he was the perfect person to work with. He is incredibly easy going, seasoned and most importantly designs dishes that are elegant and sophisticated yet modern. One of our family members said that this is not "wedding food" after trying Brandon's creations. There was not a morsel left on any plate at the end of the night and everyone saved room for Brandon's famed pie bar. We want an excuse to work with him again!

    I can only speak in superlatives when reviewing our experience with Brandon at our daughter's wedding. Our criteria was simple; delicious food with local ingredients that delivered a fine dining experience, coupled with a fabulous presentation. Brandon delivered it all! His hors d'ouvres, dinner and desserts were truly spectacular. The bonus we had not anticipated was his oversight on the logistics of the day and evening. Brandon organized and oversaw his team that was stellar; professionally handling 225 people. When your well-travelled guests comment that they've never had a wedding dinner like this EVER before, you know you made an excellent and wise choice with Brandon. Frankly , he's the best!

    Being in food business myself, food for our wedding was one of the most important elements of our wedding. Brandon definitely out did it!. We were very happy after the tasting for the reception food, but ALL of the cocktail hour food was above and beyond our expectation. Everyone was so impressed by his food, its presentation, taste, to staff coordination that 2 weeks after the wedding, they still talk A LOT about how great the food was. This area may be country, but his food is definitely NYC level. We highly recommend working with him especially since he really understands your needs and wants (unlike some reputable caterer who may insist that his/her flavor is the bestest).

    Hunt & Harvest was incredible to work with! Brandon is so creative and innovative with food. He listened to what we wanted and gave us amazing food. I keep getting compliments on how spectacular our wedding food was and even people asking for his contact information for parties of their own. He also pays close attention to detail to when it comes to logistics to ensure that the event flows well with the food selection. He's also a super nice guy and really fun to work with. A+!

    Brandon is fantastic to work with! We loved that everything is locally sourced and fresh. Good ingredients go in and amazing dishes come out! Multiple people said that the filet mignon they had at our wedding was THE BEST they ever had, and I have picky family and friends. He also did our rehearsal dinner food I'm still dreaming of the Southern Fried Chicken that we served. Food is such a huge part of an event and he totally nailed it for all of the meals during our our wedding weekend!

    Truly Incredible

    I cannot say enough good things about Hunt & Harvest. Everything was so delicious and we received so many comments about how this was the best food people had ever had at a wedding. One of my friends said, and I quote, “I was sad eating the blood orange salad because I knew I’d never get to eat it again.” From creating a special borscht and pierogi passed hor d'oeuvre to honor my now husbands polish heritage, to creating the most delicious, seasonal menus it truly was so special. In particular, we had one guest with severe allergies who said this was the first wedding she had ever been able to eat at (including her daughters last month) and that her meal was fantastic. She was so over the moon. We couldn't have had a better experience with Hunt & Harvest and I couldn't recommend them more highly.
