Exceeding Expectations: Exceptional Catering by Olga at MBC
We spent a lot of time looking for the perfect caterer. We wanted someone professional and responsive, who valued not only the quality of the food but also its presentation, and who paid close attention to the details. Olga at MBC excelled in each of these aspects.
From the beginning, Olga's organization and attention to detail were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and built a menu that brought that vision to life. We never felt like we were choosing from a prebuilt list of options; instead, our menu was built around our favorite foods. Who else could think of mini milk glasses with chocolate chip cookies resting on top?
The quality of the food was outstanding. Not only was it delicious, but it was also beautifully presented, adding an elegant touch to our reception. Since our wedding, multiple guests have told us that the food was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding, and the presentation made them feel like they were dining in a trendy downtown restaurant.
What really set Olga apart was her willingness to go above and beyond her usual responsibilities. She helped us with ceremony flow, selecting the right equipment rentals to create an experience instead of just a dinner, and patiently addressed our constant questions as the wedding date approached.
In summary, Olga provided an exceptional service that exceeded all of our expectations. Her professionalism, quality of service, and excellent communication made her an invaluable part of our wedding. For us, one of the hardest parts of the wedding was realizing don't get to work with Olga anymore! We highly recommend Olga at MBC to any couple looking for a top-notch caterer.We spent a lot of time looking for the perfect caterer.

You need to book this caterer!
Cannot say enough good things about this team! The most responsive, flexible, amazing vendor with quite literally the best wedding food we've ever had. Something not everyone realizes is your caterer books your full staff and coordinates all rentals on top of bringing in your bar, your setup and all food - and the Marcey Brownstein team has perfected it. The staff was lovely, the setup was stunning, the food was delicious and they couldnt have been nicer to work with. I can't say enough good things about them - they are worth it in every sense!Cannot say enough good things about this team!

I cannot recommend Olga at Marcey Brownstein Catering enough!
Olga catered our wedding dinner for roughly 175 guests at the Harold Pratt House, and working with her was a delight on both a professional and personal level. Olga’s talent, creativity, and flexibility made the catering decisions the least stressful element of planning our wedding. Everything was perfect, from the signature craft cocktails to the late-night snack Olga helped us execute. And I can’t not mention the hors d'oeuvres, which our guests still talk about (one friend in fact told me she replanned the entire menu for her wedding after attending ours 😅).

The most AMAZING team ever!
We just got married on 10/13/23 and needless to say it was a process getting to the day. We had an Italian tuscan theme wedding. Our venue was The Foundry in LIC and this particular venue you have to do all the leg work meaning you have to bring in outside vendors for everything. Thank god we found Olga and her team at Marcey Brownstein Catering + Events because she really helped take over that role as our wedding planner. Every question that popped into our heads we reached out to Olga for answers and she was more than happy to answer and help point us in the right direction. Her and her teammate Nicole were so amazing through the entire process and even on the day of the wedding they stayed to make sure things ran smoothly. Whether it was queueing me for walking down the aisle for the ceremony or making sure my husband and I ate dinner. Every step they were there. They are also some of the nicest people we have ever met. They gave us their opinions on everything and really helped us shape our ideas and make them a reality. They helped our Italian tuscan theme come to life and everyone that attended the wedding was just in awe of it. All throughout the night people were telling us how beautiful the venue was and they were also raving about the food. Normally when you think of a wedding you think pretty decor and "meh" food. But the food that Marcey Brownstein puts out is absolutely amazing! So many people came up to my husband and I to tell us how much they loved the food and even still a little more than a week after our wedding people are still telling us how much they loved the food. I honestly can't thank Olga Nicole and the team enough for such an amazing night they really made our dreams come true for this wedding.We just got married on 10/13/23 and needless to say it was a process getting to the day.

Outstanding food and service!
We chose Marcey Brownstein Catering + Events as our Wedding catering vendor because we had heard amazing things from our venue team and we were totally blown away when we did our tasting. The food is not only delicious, but so beautiful. Olga helped us dream up a menu that reflected both of us and all of the things we love, and worked with us every step of the way to ensure our wedding day was perfect. She was so helpful with her recommendations, and we felt like we were in great hands throughout the process. Our expectations were totally exceeded on the day of the wedding with the incredible service, presentation (and of course flavor!) of everything. Our guests are still raving about the food and drinks at the wedding one month later and some of them said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Truly an exceptional experience working with Olga and everyone at Marcey Brownstein - cannot recommend them highly enough!We chose Marcey Brownstein Catering + Events as our Wedding catering vendor because we had heard amazing things from our venue team and we were totally blown away when we did our tasting.

Working with MarceyBrownstein was the best decision we made!
I can not say enough good things about working with Marcey Brownstein for our recent wedding in June! We worked directly with Olga, and I truly don't think I could have planned a wedding without her.
We started with an intro call with Olga, which was so personalized and she was really trying to get to know us as a couple. I was blown away by the menu they put together after that first call. They tailored it to things we loved (cheeseburger dumplings with shake shack sauce?! boozy popsicles?!) and even helped us decide that a cocktail style dinner is what we were looking for. After that we knew we wanted to go with the MB team for our wedding. We had a tasting in the NY office which was so well done, the food was amazing, the cocktails even better!
Olga helped us pick out rentals for the wedding, helped us visualize how everything would work together and was so patient as we changed out minds a few times through the process.
The day of the wedding was truly perfect, the set up of stations and the bars, the passed canapés - everything went so smoothly. The thing that stood out the most to us and all of our guests was how amazing the service was. Every single person on the MB team was attentive, kind, fun and did an incredible job. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food and service was.
Do yourself a favor and work with this amazing team!!!! It was the best decision we made throughout the process. I wish I could do it all over again!I can not say enough good things about working with Marcey Brownstein for our recent wedding in June!

Superb Food and Service!
My daughter’s Brooklyn, NY wedding was just perfect, and in large part thanks to Olga at Marcey Brownstein Catering. Olga was one of the very first people I spoke to when my daughter got engaged and with her guidance, I easily assembled a dream team of vendors — wedding planner, florals & lighting, and of course, Marcey Brownstein Catering, which is truly a next-level culinary experience. This is not your typical wedding food! From a poke bar to mini falafel and bao buns to upscale fresh pasta and branzino and amazing signature cocktails — and Kosher-style too!! — everyone who attended our wedding told us that this was the BEST wedding food they’ve ever had. Besides the delicious fare, Olga’s impeccable hospitality the level of customer service she and her team provide ensured that the food and beverage service at our party was seamless and free-flowing. Just as importantly, throughout the entire planning process, Olga’s calming, can-do manner allowed us to truly be a guest at our own event and be fully present for ever magical moment.My daughter’s Brooklyn, NY wedding was just perfect, and in large part thanks to Olga at Marcey Brownstein Catering.

Absolutely amazing!
If you do one thing right for your wedding, make it your catering choice. The only things guests really care about is good food, alcohol, and music. Marcey Brownstein Catering covered the 2 of 3!!! Our guests raved about how incredible the appetizers and buffet dinner was. The drinks were very well made (and our guests appreciated that they were nice and strong). Over and over we heard how it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. A massive thank you especially to Olga! She was kind, patient, creative and very helpful always. She helped to fuse both of our cultures into the food choices (Brazilian and Trini) while ensuring it was very elegant. Also shoutout to the incredible servers! They were all so nice, happy, and so quick to ensure everyone was well served. They also ensured my husband and I were offered food and drinks very often, honestly I wouldn’t have eaten at all if they didn’t because we were so distracted. They are also great at pivoting if needed. We were originally hosting an outdoor wedding and the morning of it was very windy and we had to make a decision to host it indoors instead (since it was on a rooftop), the catering team made it work and literally set up outside to ensure we had sufficient spacing. My husband already said that any future private events we hold he wants this incredible team to cater for us. Do yourself and your guests a favor and HIRE MARCEY BROWNSTEIN CATERING!If you do one thing right for your wedding, make it your catering choice.

Top notch planning and catering
Marcey Brownstein and her team (Olga, our planner) recently planned our intimate wedding and handled the catering. To say they were top notch is an understatement. In terms of event planning, we had a small wedding (~20 ppl) and they handled all aspects of the planning - rentals, florals, A/V, day-of coordination, etc. They were extremely thoughtful and detail-oriented on all accounts including nuanced safety protocol for COVID related items. The day could not have gone more smoothly and all of our guests felt extremely comfortable and taken care of. In terms of catering, we had a fully kosher event and the team served the most delicious food and provided full kosher supervision. We can't speak more highly of our experience.Marcey Brownstein and her team (Olga, our planner) recently planned our intimate wedding and handled the catering.

Unforgettable!
I could not recommend working with Marcey Brownstein more for a truly memorable experience! Looking for a more creative caterer than what we’ve usually encountered at other events, my partner and I happily decided on working with MB with Olga Svirkova at the lead. We loved how Olga involved us in the creative process, encouraging us to give culinary ideas from our cultural backgrounds as well as personal tastes. From there, Olga produced a proposal that incorporated all these ideas while also maintaining an elegant and cohesive note. After being very impressed by the quality of everything at our tasting, we were simply wowed at the actual wedding reception! Everything tasted wonderful, with all of the special touches we decided on executed seamlessly. Olga went above and beyond to provide us with a truly special menu — from hors d’oeuvres at cocktail hour, to the reception and dessert — that was both unique and elevated. Throughout the whole planning process and on the day, Olga was always very approachable, clear, and open to notes while keeping us on track. On the day, the MB team provided exceptional presentation and service, all of our guests commented on how great the timing was. We are so happy to have shared such a unique menu with our guests, and only wish we could work with Olga again!I could not recommend working with Marcey Brownstein more for a truly memorable experience!

The Best Experience
Olga and all the staff at Marcey Brownstein Catering could not have made our day any more perfect. Olga went above and beyond to make sure the day went on without a hitch. We wanted a more casual wedding that integrated a food truck and a friend to help bartend his cocktails -- it was no problem. We asked for budget conscious menu -- it was not problem. We had some food sensitivity request -- also no problem. She contacted all our vendors to make sure they had the details of the day, she helped develop the timeline, she seriously did more than we could have asked for. We didn't hire a wedding planner but Olga made it feel like we did. We planned from out of state and it was a breeze. Everyone loved the food, drinks, and the kind, professional, and attentive staff. I cannot say enough about this company. Hire them. You won't regret it...christy + mackOlga and all the staff at Marcey Brownstein Catering could not have made our day any more perfect.

Wonderful experience
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Olga and her team at Marcey Brownstein Catering. Everything from our initial tasting to the shower/tea to the wedding reception and brunch was executed perfectly. The staff was flexible and professional and a pleasure to have in our home. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. We couldn’t have been happier!We thoroughly enjoyed working with Olga and her team at Marcey Brownstein Catering.

Marcey Brownstein helped bring our dream wedding to life!
Marcey was so creative in coming up with menu for our New Orleans themed cocktail hour and our Italian style family feast. She really took the whole event to another level. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the way things went and we had so much positive feedback from guests. Her staff was also so on top of everything from keeping our glasses full to the finest of details without every seeming to break a sweat. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a top notch caterer.Marcey was so creative in coming up with menu for our New Orleans themed cocktail hour and our Italian style family feast.

Olga was incredible!
The food was fresh, delicious, and plentiful. The staff was attentive, efficient, and so incredibly kind. Everything was executed to perfection and this was in HUGE thanks to Olga. After planning for over a year and a half, my now husband and I got married at the Foundry on August 2020. We went to a few tastings with other companies where we were very unhappy with the quality of the food, until we had our tasting with Marcey Brownstein. After a brief preliminary conversation over the phone, Olga immediately picked up on what we envisioned for our menu, and set up a tasting that was beyond our expectations. She incorporated our cultures, added fun touches, and yet still maintained the elevated elegance we wanted for our wedding.
Since then she was responsive to every question and concern, and offered amazing advice along the way. She also coordinated our rentals, which was a huge help as that takes a lot of detailed planning. She was a great support system through a covid-postponement, and worked with us to make sure our wedding was safe and appropriate procedures were taken to comply with any restrictions and guidelines we had to meet.
In terms of value for the food and service - you get what you pay for. It was very important that we had an abundance of food for our guests, and that was what we got. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was and how beautifully it was presented. They said our cocktail hour was “out of this world” and we love hearing all the compliments.
To wrap this up – when the ladies at The Foundry gave us the long list of caterers that we can choose from, it was overwhelming on where to start. For all future brides – we HIGHLY recommend going with Marcey Brownstein.
The food was fresh, delicious, and plentiful. The staff was attentive, efficient, and so incredibly kind. Everything was executed to perfection and this was in HUGE thanks to Olga.

Amazing! Highly recommend!!
Leslie, Sue, and their team helped to make our wedding day - from initial phone conversations, to promptly answering questions throughout the planning process, to a seamless execution on the day of. Everything was fantastic - the food, service, and professionalism of the whole team! Guests left our wedding complimenting on the food (from cocktail hour through dinner and dessert!), and how friendly and professional all the staff were. I highly recommend anyone in the NYC area to use Marcey Brownstein! My husband and I are so thrilled we did, and they left a memorable mark on our wedding day!Leslie, Sue, and their team helped to make our wedding day - from initial phone conversations, to promptly answering questions throughout the planning process, to a seamless execution on the day of.

Champagne and Pastrami Dreams
Marcey Brownstein was the perfect caterer for our wedding at The Foundry. Leslie Russell (our event manager and main contact from the firm) is an expert in her craft and knows how to throw a party that our guests described as “Magical,” “The Best Ever,” and with “amazing food.” We knew Marcey Brownstein was our choice following our initial meeting with Leslie—she made us feel warm and welcomed, taking each and every desire we had about the wedding and making it come to life. The food and service provided by Marcey Brownstein are simply impeccable. She was able to make our dream Katz’s Deli Display and Raw Bar come to life during the cocktail hour, in addition to a seated dinner that was divine. It is almost too difficult to put into words how incredible Leslie and her team were on our special day. We were truly guests at our event. If you want a caterer who will not only do anything for you in making your wedding dreams come true, but also execute on it flawlessly—work with Leslie and Marcey Brownstein. And if you’re having your event at The Foundry—Marcey Brownstein should be the only option as they are the experts at this venue.Marcey Brownstein was the perfect caterer for our wedding at The Foundry.

HIGHLY Recommended
We said we wanted it to feel like we were cooking for 165 people in our home... Marcey's team, especially Olga, blew us away. We served dishes like nachos (2 ways), mini pastrami & fried chicken sandwiches, scallion pancakes and farm-fresh Long Island salads. They worked to keep the cost in our comfort zone and made good recommendations along the way. We received A LOT of compliments on the food and would work with this team again. They did our sister's wedding - flawlessly (and with a completely different vibe) - too!We said we wanted it to feel like we were cooking for 165 people in our home...

Everyone will be wowed by an outstanding wedding that will be talked about long after the wedding is over.
We explored several catering companies and were by far the most impressed with Marcey Brownstein. Working with Olga Svirkova from their kosher division was a true delight, she was attentive to small details, thought out of the box to make our wedding special and representative of us, she helped us create our vision every step of the way and drew upon her knowledge, experience and connections to give us an amazing wedding. For those of you who have been to a kosher wedding, Olga ensured our wedding adhered to the highest standards while also making sure people left wowed by an elegant, gentile sense that the food and ambiance were not from the old world Shtetls and Bubbies (yiddish for grandma). Olga always approached us with warmth and joy and excitement to be apart of planning our wedding. I have only heard of the storied struggles couples face planning a wedding, and after working with Olga I can tell you it need not be anything like you heard. You will be relieved and relaxed by partnering up with Marcey Brownstein, and you and your guests will be wowed by an outstanding wedding that will be talked about long after the wedding is over.We explored several catering companies and were by far the most impressed with Marcey Brownstein.

Good food, Good drinks, Even better service!
Marcey Brownstein's phenomenal reputation exists for a reason. Working with Leslie Russell was hands down the best part of this experience. Throughout our two year planning process she was accommodating, responsive, and flexible. On the day of the wedding we did not have a thing to worry about. She was in control and made sure that all of our needs were met. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and the cocktails. Service was timely. The tagliatelle was to die for!!!! The cocktail hour was perfect and the bartenders were amazing. Leslie was one of the main reasons why the wedding went off without a hitch!Marcey Brownstein's phenomenal reputation exists for a reason.

We couldn't imagine our day without them!
When we started our planning process we had NO idea what we wanted other than to get married. We fluxuated from small to big back to small guest list, said we wanted a sit down dinner then decided we were uncomfortable with it, had a color scheme scrapped the color scheme etc etc.
Through it all for 2 years Leslie was patiently there for us and helped craft our non-vision in to a day that perfectly represented everything about us as a couple. From appetizers and stations that featured food from our favorite travel destinations to delicious handcrafted cocktails every detail was spectacular. All while staying in our strict budget!!
As for how the food tasted - simply put a friend of ours ate meat for the first time in 10 years because all the guests wouldn't stop raving about the lamb. He said it was well worth it!!
We couldn't talk about our wedding day without mentioning the flash thunderstorm during our outdoor ceremony. If it were anyone other than Leslie there with us I think the whole day would have gone chaotic. But she calmly and quickly implemented a plan b and guests had NO idea the original vision went belly up.
I also couldn't write a review without mentioning how fun the entire staff was. The whole event just felt like a warm party full of love and the Marcey Brownstien team just added to it.When we started our planning process we had NO idea what we wanted other than to get married.

Best decision we ever made (outside of marrying eachother)
It’s been almost 9 months since my wedding and people are STILL talking about the food! Selecting Marcey Brownstein Catering was by far the easiest and best decision we made for our wedding. Our amazing wedding planner, Jose Rolon, recommended we check them out for our wedding in April at 26 Bridge in Dumbo. This is an empty space where you have to bring in every single thing which can be a bit daunting, but the Marcey Brownstein team worked so well with my planner to make everything perfect for us and helped to execute our vision flawlessly. We were lucky enough to work with Olga Svirkova, who was an absolute pleasure. Olga was incredibly attentive, flexible, detail oriented and so easy to work with. She consistently went above and beyond and made sure we were happy with every single detail. She even went to one of our favorite restaurants to try one of the dishes we mentioned so they could come up with something inspired by it for our wedding ! Olga completely killed it with our menu was also so patient with us when it came to little changes we wanted made to the menu a month or two before the wedding. It was so hard to pick between all of the options at our tasting because everything was so good !! At the actual wedding (and for the tasting), everything not only tasted delicious, but was presented in a really unique, fun way. On the actual wedding day, Olga and her team also made sure my husband and I and our families always had everything we needed. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that people still come up to me and tell me our wedding had the best food and no other wedding has compared. I couldn’t recommend Marcey Brownstein Catering (and Olga !) more highly and hope to have another event sometime soon that I can work with them on.It’s been almost 9 months since my wedding and people are STILL talking about the food!

Wedding Experts, Great to Work With
We loved working with Leslie throughout the entire planning process. Her expertise goes way beyond food, and we really trusted her judgment when it came to hiring other vendors, decor, etc. Of course the food was excellent! We loved the creative menu options and appreciated the company's flexibility when it came to dietary preferences. We got so many compliments about everything, from the appetizers to the wine, and day-of we were so glad to have someone with Leslie's knowledge and experience on our team. If you are looking for food that your guests will be excited to eat, this is a great option.We loved working with Leslie throughout the entire planning process.
