    Amazing food and staff!

    Real Foods did an amazing job with our recent wedding at the Foundry in Long Island City. Yen was very knowledgable and flexible throughout the process leading up to the wedding. While creating our menu, Yen was able to provide excellent feedback and guidance, both proposing dishes that worked within our Mediterranean theme and helping us choose some of our own favorite dishes to incorporate. She was easily able to accommodate a family style service with a largely vegetarian menu as well as some friends with particularly complicated allergy issues, not to mention a last minute change in dinner layout due to weather.
    On the day of, Real Foods' staff was extremely kind and attentive, and took special care to ensure our elderly grandparents had what they needed. Also the food was delicious! We got many comments afterward on how good everything was, how there was never a line at the bar, and how nice the staff had been.
    Two thumbs up, definitely recommend!

    Look No More

    Look no more! My daughter got married at the Foundry. We did a tasting before wedding and Yen was quick to understand our preferences and make any changes we wanted. Day of wedding: NOT ONE PROBLEM. Everything was beyond perfect. The food cocktail hour food and bar was perfection- no one ever had to wait. The staff was professional and lovely. You won't have more delicious food with more beautiful presentation and service anywhere. Our guests are still talking about the food and service. Thank you so much, Yen and Co. I cannot recommend you highly enough!!!

    Amazing Vendor!!

    Real Food Catering was absolutely AMAZING! We got married in Aug 2022 at the Foundry & having Real Food Catering at our event was the best decision. From the first moment we started working with Yen and the team, they were so attentive to every detail & gave us ideas along the way that made the event so special. They accommodated every request & were so great about communicating along the way - especially since we had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid! Not to mention, the food was UNBELIEVABLE. Our guests cannot stop talking about how great the food was. The service was impeccable - Our guests drinks were never empty, Real Food was always right there to refill drinks and to offer any service. I am so impressed and they really made our wedding day perfect!

    Spectacular vendor, team, food, everything.

    Real Food Catering is nothing short of spectacular. They are worth every cent and more. The investment you make with Yen is a memory that will last you a lifetime. We had the pleasure of working with Yen and her team for the past two years for our October 2021 wedding. Thanks to Yen our wedding was magical. We had the most incredible dinner service and the most wonderful staff. Our guests are still raving over the food and drinks; our wedding had restaurant-quality food and white-gloved service. Yen's attention to detail is like no other. When you hire her, she only brings the best of the best. Yen truly is a vendor who puts her heart, love, and dedication into every event. You can tell that this is her passion. Yen is sweet, honest, and an elite professional. Hiring Real Food Catering was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. Yen truly is a wonderful human being and befriends all her couples. I never felt lost or worried with Yen as my vendor. I trusted her wholeheartedly because I knew that our wedding day was just as important to her as it is for us. Real Food Catering offers extraordinary talent at an affordable price with the most loving, humble, and caring staff. It will be one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding day. It was most definitely one of ours.

    Renee & Ibrahim

    Wow....just, WOW!!!! We got married on October 25th at the Foundry and hiring Real Food Catering was hands down one of the best decisions that we made (second only to marrying each other, haha). There are no words to adequately describe just how incredibly patient, attentive and helpful Yen and her entire team are. We didn't use a wedding planner and honestly, with Yen's expertise, we didn't need one.

    From the very beginning, Yen and Gary walked us through the entire process (every step of the way) and gave tips and feedback that helped to make our wedding day as seamless as possible. Yen's attention to detail is truly unmatched! I am Type-A and neurotic and was completely floored that every. single. detail and logistical item was accounted for. There are so many moving parts on the day-of and Yen's experience/professionalism reassured us that she was in control and that we didn't need to worry about anything. We were able to truly relax and soak in every moment on the big day since we knew that if something went wrong (literally nothing went wrong!), Yen would have us covered.

    Almost every guest that we spoke to in the days after our wedding RAVED about the food and the copious amounts of passed hors d'oeuvres. Our day was magic partly because Yen and her team are magic. Thank you a million times to Yen, Gary, Marianna and every single solitary person on that team. You guys are incredible :)

    Exceeded All Expectations.

    We got married in October and it has taken me until now to write this review because I honestly did not know how I would he able to put into words how amazing Yen/Real
    Food Catering was. The truth is that choosing Yen/Real Food Catering was the best decision we made for our wedding. We could not have pulled off a wedding at the Foundry without them. First, Yen’s food is not only the most spectacular wedding food we have ever had - it’s the best food we’ve ever tasted. Seriously rivals the top restaurants in the city. Our wedding was 9 months ago and our guests are STILL raving about the food. Literally everything served at our wedding (and we served quite the variety) was amazing.
    But Real Food Catering is much more than just a wedding caterer. Yen and Gary are event coordinators who knew our venue like the back of their hands and went out of their way to give us the wedding of our dreams. For example, my husband is in the spirits industry and it was very important to him that our bar be stocked with particular spirits and that the bartenders be top-notch (career bartenders able to make obscure classic cocktails on demand - rather than your typical wedding/event bartenders) and Yen made it happen - and without upcharging us for it. I honestly cannot say enough about Yen, Gary and the entire Real Food Catering team. They are the real deal. Not only are they the absolute best at what they do, but their primary motivation is to give couples the wedding of their dreams. Unlike most vendors who are primarily concerned with finances/making money, Yen went out of her way to try to save us money even when we didn’t ask her to. I will never be able to adequately thank Yen, Gary and the Real Food Catering team for all that they did for us. Trust me, if you are getting married at the Foundry (or any similar venue), have your first call be to Yen and Gary at Real Food Catering.

    Amazing NYC Caterer

    Real Food Catering was amazing to work with for my wedding in August 2019. Yen and Gary were wonderful during every stage of the process and I greatly appreciated their straight-forward advice (which was extremely valuable with their many years of experience at my venue). My guests raved about the food, many said their favorite part of the reception was the passed appetizers during cocktail hour! I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a caterer in the NYC area!

    Hiring Real Food will be the best decision you make!

    I truly have no words to fully describe just how amazing working with Yen and Gary and the rest of the Real Foods team has been. Hiring them was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding at the Green Building!

    From our first communication with Yen - we knew we were in great hands. Not only was Yen very responsive, but she and Gary were so helpful with not just food choices but also the rentals, the layout, the timeline and so many other details of the night!

    When we had our tasting, we were so impressed and when we tasted the food at our wedding, we were just blown away! All our guests raved about how delicious the food was and how much food there was - everyone was stuffed!! I want to re-do the wedding just to have more of the delicious food!

    Trust me when I say, hire Real Food Catering for your wedding and you will be so thankful you did! I didn’t have to worry about a single thing the day of my wedding - Yen and her team had it all under control. We would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend them wholeheartedly!

    Real Food Catering is the best!!!

    Yen, Gary and the Real Food Catering team are so exceptional. Choosing them to cater your wedding will be the best decision you could possibly make while planning your wedding. My now husband and I looked all over NYC for someone who could make our vision of a Sichuan (Szechuan) wedding menu come alive and Real Food Catering made that happen above and beyond our loftiest and wildest expectations. We chose an incredibly difficult menu that would showcase our culture and personality--complete with spicy lamb skewers and fish filet--and they absolutely KILLED IT. Even the Asian parents and relatives from China we invited (who are usually a very tough crowd when it comes to food) thought the food was amazing!! :) I heard endless raves from friends about the food and like many of the other reviews on this page can corroborate the phrase "BEST WEDDING EVER" being heard throughout the night. Real Food Catering is seriously in a league of their own when it comes to service as well--all of the servers were so professional and so nice which really contributed to the flow of the wedding being so seamless. If you have the luck of scoring Real Food Catering as your caterer, you should for sure hire them. They are a warm, talented group of professionals that deliver on the food, service and will be there every step of the way with planning to make your party is a unique and absolutely magical one!!

    Thank you Yen and Gary!

    We are so happy to have chosen Real Food for our wedding. Throughout our planning process, we left each meeting and phone call feeling very happy and assured that we were in the right hands. We could not have imagined our wedding day turning out any better than what Yen and her team accomplished. The tables were beautiful, the setup of everything was beautiful, and the transitions of everything from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner were seamless. We are still hearing from our guests, raving about how delicious the food was. There is a reason why Real Food is listed as a preferred vendor for every venue that we had looked at!
    With Yen and Gary running the show, we did not have to worry. They are true professionals!

    Delicious food, great team

    I cannot recommend Yen and her team (especially Gary!) enough. They were fantastic to work with. The food was delicious, Yen was extremely knowledgeable of the building and made great suggestions on how to layout the space. She was a great help when it came to selecting the rentals, how much alcohol we should provide, and she made me and my fiancé feel like we were in great hands through every step of the process. Everyone kept raving about the food, and it's all thanks to Real Food Catering!

    Yen & Gary have outstanding reviews online everywhere, but these 5-stars don't even do justice to just how incredible Real Food Catering is! This fabulous duo helped me in every aspect of planning - they went above and beyond with everything! They held my hand through the entire process, explained everything clearly, created a floor plan, dealt with the rentals, hooked me up with *the best desserts* and a sushi station, and were all around AWESOME. Talented, geniune, funny, a complete pleasure to work with -- not to mention, all of the food offered is delicious (go to your taste test starving). I love them! If you're considering them, let me sway your booking decision - *DO IT.*

    For any brides and grooms looking for an amazing caterer who makes you feel like family - look no further; Real Food Catering is five star. Yen, Gary, and their staff are truly the best in their craft. From day one, they worked with us to make sure the food, cocktails, and vision stayed within budget. Our July 28th wedding couldn’t have been more perfect thanks to Yen and the team! Yen was super attentive and accommodating to our needs the entire night. The waitstaff was always available while remaining stealth and the bartenders were top-notch and kept up with the crowd effortlessly. Almost a month later and our guests are still talking about the yummy food and drinks - especially the steak, the French 75, and desserts! Yen & Gary - thank you for everything! You are true professionals who worked seamlessly among all of our vendors, and we couldn’t be happier.

    There is a reason why Real Foods has so many wonderful reviews! Yen was such a pleasure to work with! She was a tremendous help to my son and his fiancé with the planning. It can be overwhelming to choose all of the food, while planning so many other elements. Yen has so much experience, her advice is priceless. The food was excellent, more like restaurant Food than catering. We had tons of compliments. Don’t wait! If Yen is available book her NOW!!!

    Best choice we could have made for our wedding

    Yen and Gary are absolute professionals and amazing at what they do. The quality of their food is exceptional (we are still getting compliments on it, six months later) and they will guide you through every step of the process. Yen made planning our menu and venue layout so unbelievably easy. Gary was amazing as our day-of coordinator and ensured that everything ran smoothly and on-time, despite some spotty weather and an impromptu dance party before dinner. Their staff was incredibly attentive (my parents are still gushing about how great all of the waiters were) We are so grateful for their work and help. Highly recommend Real Food Catering!

    Everything related to Real Food was perfect (from the moment we received the proposal all the way through the wedding). Yen's communication was excellent throughout our planning process (both with us and our wedding planner). We were able to have a tasting, which was delicious and appreciated! Our guests raved and raved and raved about the quality, quantity and variety of food at our wedding. Thank you!!!

    Real Food's Yen and Gary are incredible! We partnered with them for our March 2018 wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made in planning. Yen & Gary were super easy to work with and actually made wedding planning fun! They were extremely accessible throughout the planning process and helped guide us to plan the most incredible night. We had our wedding at a 'raw space' and I was a bit intimidated at first knowing I would have to bring in all vendors and items, that worry went away the second we met with Yen & Gary. They helped us with coordinating the night, gave us recommendations for florists, photographers, rentals etc. We were so happy to have found them... and this was even before we tasted their food! Where do I begin with the food! They crafted a custom menu for us with our guests and preferences in mind, every single guest said how delicious the food was and the quantity was impressive! The wedding night went off without a hitch, we felt so comfortable with Gary there taking care of all coordination. The day of we were able to completely relax and enjoy the moment because we were so confident in Real Food. Their staff for the night was also very impressive, super courteous and made every guest feel super special. I could go on and on about how much we adore Real Food catering. On top of their high quality service and professionalism - Yen and Gary are the sweetest people, we loved meeting with them and I was so happy that they were a part of our big day. Don't look any further and hire Real Food immediately!

    Yen and Gary from Real Food Catering could not be easier to work with. They made what could have been a stressful part of the wedding planning so easy AND FUN. They let us provide our ideas and then helped us tweak based on their experience and everything was amazing. We have picky eaters on both sides of our family and literally everyone was telling us how great and abundant the food was. People said that they have never had so much food at a wedding before and they loved that. Yen and Gary also were extremely helpful with our alcohol count, our table placement at the venue, and other details that we were doing on our own, without a wedding planner. They go above and beyond to make you happy before, during and after the wedding.

    I don't know where to begin! Yen & Gary were true experts in their craft!! Everything they told us and recommended was spot on. Not only were they helpful when we were planning, but were genuinely the nicest and most organized team that we worked with. I did not have a wedding planner and I did not need one because of Yen & Gary! The day of we did not have to worry about anything -- everything was set up beautifully and Gary made sure that our ceremony ran flawlessly. He also made sure that we got to eat the delicious food that day!! We had a plate of appetizers waiting after the ceremony and he made us both dinner plates (and took the time to make sure we ate). They really went above and beyond. We have and continue to receive so many compliments about the food at our wedding and how great everything was. If you are researching catering companies, look no further!! A big thank you to Yen, Gary, and the real good catering staff!! You guys are amazing!!! :) - Marie & Charles (Wedding on 12/2/17)

    Yen and Gary from Real Food Catering were absolutely amazing. We could not be happier with how the planning, service and execution turned out for our hybrid chinese/american wedding. Their flexible budgeting and planning process made our lives so much easier. Our venue was an loft/open space rental in Dumbo, NY and needed quite a lot of planning to accomplish properly. They helped us through every step of the way, ceremony layout, DIY decoration placement, space transitions, tea ceremony, schedule, vendor coordination, basically every aspect of the wedding was well thought out and we could not have pulled it off without them. With Real Food Catering, you get so much more than just caters providing food, you get a team that helps you think through the concept and management of the entire event. Weddings can be incredibly stressful and I'm so thankful that we picked Real Food Catering.

    Besides the unreal pre-wedding and day-of service they provide, the food was truly top-notch. We had passed Hors D’oeuvres during cocktail hour and the classic seated dinner service. Our guests were split into two types, half traditional chinese that preferred asian inspired cuisine and half hip foodie friends that have always complained about wedding food. Real Food Catering helped us navigate this clashing of preferences by offering a wide range of options like chicken/waffle and peking duck. It's been 3 months since our wedding and we are still receiving compliments from family and friends for the food. Food was my greatest concern because the backlash from a chinese family for going non-chinese traditional family style can be unbearable and Real Food Catering really satisfied everyone! Instead of receiving brutal chinese criticism we're actually receiving praise.

    The other 5 star reviews I've read are all true. Real Food Catering is the best option in every imaginable category. Greatest part was that since everything was so well planned we actually both got to eat!!

    We genuinely felt so lucky to have found Yen and Gary! From the attention to detail to the phenomenal catering to the flawless day-of execution, their team was above and beyond. The instant we met for our meet and greet, all concerns about planning a multi-vendor wedding disappeared. They instantly put us at ease with their professionalism and proven experience in the industry (they knew and worked with just about all of our other vendors!). We had a great time brainstorming menu ideas, and ultimately crafted the perfect menu with vietnamese influences for our Brooklyn wedding. Our guests happily cleared their plates and four months later, still tell us how impressed they were with the food -- a true wedding rarity!

    Also highly recommend Real Food Catering's day-of coordination services. They were complete pros and always seemingly ten steps ahead of us. Our wedding day was in short a total home run, and we owe a large part of it to Real Food Catering. If you have the option to work with the whole dream team -- do it!

    Yen and Gary are the BEST OF THE BEST. It's not even worth looking at any other vendors. Our guests were raving about the food, service and the entire day. There was no way it would have been as good as it was without Real Food Catering. It was the best decision we made hiring them. Thank you SO MUCH!!

    During our year of wedding planning, my husband and I found ourselves falling in love with other people. Those people were Yen and Gary of Real Food Catering. Giving them all of the compliments in the world doesn't do them - and their extraordinary staff - justice!

    We first felt Real Food fireworks in our initial meeting with Yen and Gary. We had been shopping around for a wedding caterer, but had yet to experience the aha moment of finding someone that really understood our vision - that is, until we busted through the doors of their oh-so-stylish office on Great Jones. And we had quite the vision, given that we wanted to build a wedding from the ground up that reflected our love for food, sense of humor, and typical levels of hysteria...

    Every off-the-wall idea we threw at Gary and Yen - running through a giant banner (like a basketball team!) for our entrance, setting up a DIY station so that guests could accessorize themselves with temporary tattoos of our faces, finding space for a self-serve keg of beer - was welcomed with open arms. And they went ABOVE AND BEYOND to come up with plans / timelines so that everything was executed flawlessly on the big day (and so that we could imbibe, worry-free, far too many signature cocktails). My Type A mind was swooning - no detail went overlooked.

    EVERYTHING for our wedding seemed to fall into place after the stars aligned in that first meeting. Gary and Yen made exceptional suggestions for our other vendors, presented an ideal layout, and helped us pull together a personalized and utterly delectable menu.

    For all of your wedding needs, look no further than Real Food Catering. They're more than just a catering company - they're impeccably detail-oriented, innovative and professional planners, coordinators, decorators, chefs, ringmasters and, above all else, two truly kick butt people.

    We'd get married all over again just to spend more time with Yen and Gary.

    From the minute we met Yen and Gary, we knew they were the one (I didn't even have that feeling when I met my husband). And we couldn't be happier with their incredible work at our wedding this past weekend!

    Yen and Gary were patient, understanding and went out of her way to work out all the details for our wedding. We emailed back and forth often... over 300 emails!!! From the beginning, they welcomed our questions and provided us with their honest feedback.

    I cannot begin to tell you the overwhelming positive response we received and continue to get from our guests about our food! ANDDDD I know the food was delicious because when I walked around to greet our guests at dinner, I noticed many plates that were scraped clean!

    Yen, Gary and their incredible team worked hard to make our wedding run smooth, STRESS-FREE, and most importantly, delicious! We could not be happier with our experience with Real Food Catering.
