Michelle M. Sent on 09/28/2022Truly loved working with Purslane
My husband and I truly loved working with Purslane for our outside Hampton wedding. The food was delicious, from the hors d'oeuvres to the entrees to our trio of desserts. We had many people saying after our wedding that it was the best Branzino they've ever had. We also really loved the team. We loved how accommodating they were in creating our package and how smooth the on site team was the day of. One of my favorite parts of planning the wedding was our tasting with Purslane. Overall, can't recommend them enough. -

We had an amazing experience with Purslane! Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Purslane was responsive, professional, and organized throughout our entire planning process. Kendra and the whole Purslane team did an incredible job helping us plan and prepare for our dream wedding. Also, the food was incredible! Our guests were complimenting the food even days after our wedding! Furthermore, their staff were amazing. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, we were never in need of anything throughout the night. We would highly recommend Purslane for your wedding/event! -

Christina L. Sent on 08/01/2023Great food and service
We had a wonderful experience with Purslane. We worked with Kendall on organizing our wedding, and she was super communicative, answered all our questions and was willing to accommodate special requests. All our guests mentioned how wonderful the food was and how beautiful the venue looked (Boathouse at Prospect Park). Staff on the day were really friendly and had to quickly pivot the cocktail hour inside when there was a very stray thunderstorm that blew through. We would highly recommend Purslane for the coordination and catering of any wedding. -

Dream Catering in a Dream Venue!
Purslane was the perfect catering company an vendor for our wedding at The Prospect Park Boathouse. They were quick to respond to all questions and created a private tasting session due to the schedule of my partner and I. We enjoyed every step of working with them. We had an idea to have a certain "event/catering activation" added to the day and they were willing to work with the vendor that we picked and figure out the logistics to make sure we had the two elements added and it was seamless. The day-of was seamless from the serving, to the bar setups and to the food that was incredible! We could not have gotten a more perfect catering company and venue to have our wedding! -

We loved working with Purslane. We got married at The Boathouse at Prospect Park, where Purslane is the default caterer. We went with Purslane because we wanted a stress free wedding that the majority of things were included since we weren't hiring a wedding planner, and that's what Purslane delivered. The team was very communicative and even helped us get our timeline in order. If you are looking for a low stress wedding, definitely consider getting married at The Boathouse. Purslane handled all of the rentals - we just had to make decisions about food, linens, plateware, chairs, etc. The venue itself is incredible and speak for itself - you really don't need that many decorations because the Boathouse photographs beautifully without them. We had a hiccup with the final bill, but everything was eventually sorted out and they were responsive and easy to work with. -

Perfect catering experience and incredible venue
Working with Purslane, and especially with Machaela and Justin, was a highlight of our wedding planning, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had such excellent partners in producing our event. The staff, especially Machaela and Justin, are responsive, friendly, accommodating, and professional; the space is gorgeous and beautifully maintained and operated; the food and drink were bountiful and delicious, and the service rivaled any of New York’s fine restaurants. Best of all, the process of collaborating to make our wedding happen was easy and fun, and Machaela and Justin made us, the nervous engaged couple with a million things to manage, very confident that our day would not just go as planned, but would be a beautiful success. And indeed it was!
Of all the people we worked with. Machaela and Justin deserve special mention. They are excellent communicators, responsive to the million questions and people that wedding planning entails. They are proactive collaborators, laying out a clear process and schedule not just for the day, but for the process of working to plan it. They provided useful, detailed documentation at every step of the way, including a very helpful list of recommended vendors. Every meeting with them was fun and friendly, but also productive, punctual and a good use of time. And of course, the food and wine tastings were delicious.
Machaela and Justin were so helpful in giving us a sense of how the venue would perform in a situation we wouldn’t get to experience until the day itself. They guided us expertly, making shrewd suggestions we might not have considered (“Since you have an open bar, we recommend choosing a heavier vegetarian entree.”) My wife and I had a unique vision for our event, and these two not only assured us that it was possible, they worked with the park to accommodate myriad details, even down to the selection of lightbulbs. It’s no exaggeration to say that without their help, the event would not have had the specific atmosphere we imagined, nor would it have been the roaring success that it was.
All the confidence they inspired along the way paid off on the day, when Machaela, Justin, and their staff were a machine. The service was prompt, helpful, and invisible; the food was great, not losing too much in the translation from tasting to event; the wedding ran perfectly smoothly, with Purslane on top of the schedule, keeping the momentum of the night alive as they moved tables, served each course, operated the bars, and so on with perfect cadence.
We are so, so grateful to Purslane for making our wedding a true dream come to life. Our only regret is not responding sooner to their lovely post-wedding thank you note, and for taking so long to write this review! To you recently-engageds with so many decisions to make, let me help you with this one: your search is over; just hire Purslane.

Heather Sent on 08/20/2019Stellar caterers for people who love food.
From start to finish, working with Purslane for our wedding was an absolute dream. My fiance was set on having a vegetarian reception, and I was concerned about finding a caterer who could make an all vegetarian feast that would please even the most ardent meat-lovers in our extended families. Boy, did they deliver!
Even better than the food (if that's possible!) was interacting with the company. Isabel was our event manager and she was amaaaaaazing. From the very first meeting I knew we were in extremely capable and organized hands. It was also great that they managed logistics for all our rentals and I didn't have to worry about how many napkins or plates, etc.
I would recommend them to anyone hosting an event of any size in the greater NYC area. Purslane truly took our wedding reception dinner from being a just great meal to being a legendary meal for all our family and friends. We consider ourselves to lucky to have found them, and are so happy they came on board for our wedding! -

Olivia Sent on 10/29/2022Loved our experience with Purslane!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Purslane! They were totally willing to work with us on customizations and made sure we were comfortable with all of our selections. On the day of our wedding their team was totally professional and helped our whole event run smoothly, even when there were some issues with the rentals. Even after our wedding they were advocates for us with the rental company, which allowed us to go off on our honeymoon with peace of mind. Thank you Purslane team! -

Amazing food! Amazing people!
We had a great experience using Purslane as our caterer and event manager for our wedding at the Prospect Park Boathouse. The staff they provided for our event were professional, and the food they served our guests met a high culinary standard. My wife’s father works in the restaurant business and he was impressed by what Purslane was able to do for our 100 guests. My wife was also very impressed by their sustainability ethos. Everything went like clockwork and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Procedurally, Purslane will host you at a tasting event prior to your wedding where you will sample their menu and decide on that basis what you will like to serve at your own event. One piece of advice: enjoy yourself at the tasting event. You may find yourself so busy at your own wedding that you have little time to eat, but Purslane’s food is so great, so make sure to eat heartily at the tasting! -
