My son's weddding

We recently had a wedding at Paterson's Farm in Howell NJ. The location was perfect, but required us to search for a caterer. The owner Sharon, recommended Shore Catering as one of a handful of options. I personally spoke with a few and decided on Shore. What a great decision as they were perfect in all areas and thoroughly exceeded our expectations. We dealt with Patty (the founder) and Bryan the current owner and they both made it happen with great communication and exemplary service. We had 173 guests and they delivered on delicious appy's, and then plated dinners for all our guests. Maria was there to ensure everything went well, and the feedback from our guests has been amazing. I highly recommend Shore. You will not be disappointed.

Thank you Shore Catering!

We cannot thank Shore Catering enough for making our wedding day at the Taylor Pavillion absolutely perfect!

From the very beginning, Summer was incredibly helpful and responsive — answering all of our (many!) questions about booking, menus, and logistics. She made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free, and we always felt like we were in great hands.

On the big day, Maria, our maitre’d, was a total superstar. She coordinated every detail behind the scenes with grace and precision, making sure everything ran seamlessly. We were able to fully enjoy our day knowing she had everything covered.

The food? Amazing. Our guests are still raving about the cocktail hour — from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the unique stations, everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The appetizers kept coming and guests were impressed by the amount of options; we did upgrade the package to add some additional appetizers! The dinner buffet was standard!

We’re so grateful to the entire team for their professionalism, warmth, and top-notch service. If you’re planning a wedding, do yourself a favor and book with Shore Catering— you won’t regret it!

With heartfelt thanks,
The Cogars

Outstanding service!

When we tasted the food we knew that our guests would be happy with our selection of shore catering (and we were right! We recieved many compliments on the dinner and hors d'oeuvres). What we DIDN'T realize is that we were receiving more than just a catering service- we were receiving what felt like a warm welcome into a family business that took some of the stress out of the wedding planning process!

Shore was the only caterer we encountered that was willing to work within our budget, and individually tailor a package to meet our needs, allowing us to feel comfortable financially without feeling like we were sacrificing ANY of the quality and elegance that we wanted for our wedding!

Moreover, on the day of our wedding, summer took care of us as though we were her oldest friends, meeting us with so much genuine warmth and a contagious smile. She made sure we were able to actually eat and drink (which so many of our friends told us would be difficult to do at our wedding!) and kept the vibe HIGH even in spite of pouring rain and floods on the day of the event!

We wish we could get married again and again and we would hire Shore Catering every single time!!

I HIGHLY recommend Shore Catering to any bride and groom who want all of the quality with none of the stress!!

We love you Summer & all of the staff at Shore!!

Perfect for Us

My wedding was basically an elopement, but it still felt so fancy and grand because of Shore Catering. They set everything up and made it so easy. Although the setting was my parent's backyard, it felt like we were at a venue. It was awesome. Thank you so much!

Rocking party in a storm

August 5th I got married at an out door venue. As soon as the caterers showed up it started to down pour. the staff was well prepared, didn't bat an eye, popped up some tents, continued to set up the buffet where it was originally planned and everything was delicious and amazing. Would highly recommend Shore catering for all party needs! Thank you for everything we couldn't have been happier.

We cannot thank Summer and the entire Shore Catering team enough for their professionalism, dedication and amazing service for our wedding on October 8th at the Mantoloking Yacht Club! From start to finish, Summer and the team made sure our questions were answered and our requests were honored. The food was absolutely delicious and many compliments were received! They worked collaboratively with all of our vendors and made our special day run smoothly and without issue. Look no further for a caterer for your special event! Thank you Summer and crew! Love, The McKees

Shore catering is outstanding

“ I’m not one to leave to many comments or accolades-
HOWEVER, Shore Catering is an exception to excellence and must be praised! I am so thankful for an outstanding job handling my daughter’s wedding! Her Husband-to-be had some dietary challenges and were met with willingness to take on the challenge!” Our sweet day was GLORIOUS! They are professional and work very hard to collaborate and eloquently expedite the vision of food you want served! Thank you for a wonderful experience (I am a nurse of 26 yrs and used to be a waitress at “The Cabin” and “The Castle Restaurant doing weddings myself!)

Amazing job at our beach wedding!

Patty, Summer & Bryan were so amazing to work with in planning our beach wedding at Taylor Pavilion. The food was phenomenal! Bryan came out with a tray of food from the cocktail hour for us when we were taking photos on the beach which was so nice! Working with George from the township to set everything up was fantastic, he did the best job and was there in a blink for everything we needed. Our dream wedding truly become a reality!

Best Decision for our Backyard Wedding

Due to COVID we decided on having a backyard wedding. We interviewed multiple food vendors and once we chatted with Summer there was no question Shore Catering was the right decision. Summer worked with us from the beginning: she helped us decide on the best package, set up a tasting, and was our Maître D on the day of our wedding.

On the day of the wedding Summer and her team arrived timely to set up. The staff were extremely friendly and made sure all of our guests were taken care of, they even carried small baskets to take care of waste as they passed out appetizers. Summer and the staff also made sure that we had plenty to eat (which is often tough for the bride and groom). We chose the buffet style dinner and the food itself was extremely tasty and hot. We received many compliments on the spread from our guests, especially the macaroni and cheese bar and eggplant rollatini. Summer coordinated with the other vendors to make sure our day was perfect and she also found some extra flower decorations lying around the house and added them to our sweetheart table for an extra touch.

We can't thank Summer and her team enough for making our day extra special. We would highly recommend Shore Catering and would certainly use them again for other events.

I have used Shore Catering for 3 tented weddings. They have been very responsive, efficient and timely. They worked with me before the wedding making sure that the clients booked everything they needed and even suggested awesome menus. During the wedding they were very efficient and attentive to all the guests needs! I will definitely recommend them again.

Shore Catering was a pleasure to work with!!! Highly recommend!

Shore Catering was amazing to work with for my daughter's Bridal Shower. Patty, the owner, was a joy and made the whole process seamless. She suggested the venue, Taylor Pavilion in Belmar, NJ, and it was amazing. The food was delicious and raved about by all the guests. She easily incorporated multiple GF options. Summer was also wonderful to work with. She oversaw all on the day of the event. The other waitstaff, Lindsey and Xavier, were equally professional and eager to help with anything and everything. This was our 3rd event with Patty and they honestly just get better and better. Highly recommend. Thank you Patty!!!

Covid Backyard Wedding

We are so happy that we used the unlimited services of Shore Catering for my son’s wedding last week. Having never planned such an event, we relied on Patty to not only provide the food, but also order the tent, portable restroom, tables, chairs and even the wedding cake. The servers were terrific and saw to it that everything went smoothly. The food was great. We look forward to working with Shore Catering in the future.

Shore Catering is the BEST!!!

I can’t praise Shore Catering enough!!! Patty was an absolute delight! She knew exactly what I wanted and was incredibly helpful and throughfuk throughout the entire process. Some back story we were a Covid wedding on 10/10/2020, our original venue could no longer accommodate so we needed to start fully from scratch, new venue, catering, vendors, downsize guests from 167 to 60 all within 90 days. Shore Catering was a God send! The food was absolutely amazing! The staff was extremely attentive and personable! They saved so much food for my husband and I from the cocktail hour which was so sweet! They even were able to roll with the punches, the DJ announced the food was ready about 45 minutes too soon and they figured it out and it went smoothly! This was all outdoors in a private establishment without a professional kitchen or anything they just knew what to do and where to go. They took every precaution for Covid and everyone at the wedding felt very comfortable. Patty said they specialized in backyard weddings and she wasn’t kidding they were terrific! If you are hosting an event I highly highly recommend Shore Catering! The food was amazing and the service was phenomenal! Also they are extremely reasonable and flexible with prices and packages!!!! Again I can’t thank Patty and the whole team at Shore Catering enough you helped make our wedding an absolute dream come true!!! (Which says a lot for a Covid wedding!) thank you so much again will definitely call Shore Catering for future events!!

Pandemic Backyard Wedding

My husband and I worked with Shore Catering for our big day. We were supposed to have it at a venue, where Shore Catering was the caterer, but we had to change to our backyard because of the pandemic. When we called to say we we're switching to backyard, Patty was all for it & ready to help. Working with Patty & Summer was absolutely amazing. They answered any questions we had, came out to make sure our backyard was fit for the event & gave great recommendations. Their food is SO good & very reasonably priced. We loved it so much & plan to order from them again for our one year anniversary to bring back all the feel good memories. I can't say enough good about Shore Catering, we wouldn't have been able to make our wedding the night of our lives without all of their help. Highly recommend to anyone considering catering any event!

Excellent - Professional

We had our wedding at home. It was both our third marriages so wanted something that we could cherish with our families and close friends. Shore Caterers gave us that and more. As many would know it is difficult to give up control over your kitchen and your home. Shore Caterers were so professional and on top of everything that I was able to give up control and enjoy our wedding. For that I am grateful and thankful and want everyone to know that Shore Caterers are an outstanding professional catering service and that their staff is terrific and more than accommodating.

Absolutely loved this vendor!! Had a week-long event and they catered almost all of the meals for 15+ people. They were early every morning to set up breakfast, were extremely professional and totally accommodating to our requests. They even delivered a meal when the house was flooded with 5 inches of water!

The food is always spectacular. We have done everything from a clambakes to cocktail parties and our guests are still raving about the food!

Simply the best! We used Shore Catering to cater our wedding on 4/22 at the Sandy Hook Chapel. From Day 1, Patty was incredibly helpful and very responsive. She helped us to plan the perfect BBQ style menu and coordinate everything from our cake design to rentals and set up. She answered every question promptly and even offered some great advice. Bryan and the rest of the staff did such an amazing job with our day-of coordination! Everything looked beautiful, ran smoothly, and the food was fantastic! Our guests are still talking about the food! We would highly recommend hiring Shore Caterers for your next event!

Wow!!! First I must say that we have never before had an event at our house catered. We have always done everything ourselves so we were extremely cautious and nervous about handing over the "control" of our event - especially this being our wedding. But, turns out that all our worry was for nothing. Shore Catering was TOP NOTCH right from our very first phone call to book their services. Patty and Sue were so patient, understanding and helpful while planning our big day with us. They catered our wedding clam bake in our backyard and took care of EVERY LAST DETAIL for us. Even on the morning of our wedding, Patty reached out to us to see what she could do to take any of the stress out of our big day. Who does that these days???? The food was over the top DELISH - it was an extremely hot and humid day and their team of people at our house smiled the ENTIRE day. They couldn't do enough for Bill and I each and each of our guests. Every single one of our guests commented about the staff's professionalism, courtesy, and friendliness and are still praising them 2 weeks after the fact. We are planning another big party next year around Labor Day and will definitely be calling on them once again to make our party a success. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Shore Catering for making our wedding day such a success!!!

We used Shore Catering for my husband's 60th birthday party. It was a pleasure from beginning to end. They are a full service caterer. They even recommended a perfect venue for the event. Patty, Sue and the staff of the Catering Office worked with me to create the perfect day. They responded to all of my calls and questions and made excellent recommendations. We could not have asked for more. The food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. All of our 70 guests commented on the good taste, variety, and quality of the food served. The serving and cooking team sent were well trained and professional. Thank you to Katie, Val, Mike and John for organizing the day. They were fabulous!!!!!!. Each one of them was hard-working, personable, organized, welcoming to my guests, and were just generally nice people. The food was cooked perfectly and it was plentiful. It was hot when it was supposed to be hot, and cold when it was supposed to be cold. The banquet tables and kitchen looked clean and pristine while they were setting up and serving, and the area looked even better when they left. There are not enough superlatives to describe their performance. Shore Catering helped make my husband's 60th birthday a memorable occasion for him and everyone who attended. I would trust them catering an even of any size.

We used shore catering for our wedding this past September. From my first conversation with them to discuss what we were looking for I knew they were the right choice. The food was OUTSTANDING! We did the premium clambake and the lobster was one of the best I have ever had. It's really awesome too, because they boil the lobsters on premise, which is really cool for guests to see. The staff was extremely professional, and even in the inclement weather they were on point the whole night.

Our wedding was in our backyard, which led to a lot of questions on how everything would come together. Shore catering took care of way more than I would have expected a caterer to do. They truly made the day go off without a hitch. I would recommend them to everyone I know (I already have actually).

One of my friends used them for her wedding, as well. Where we wanted a lot of sea food/clam bake style, she was looking for more of a bbq style. The food at both (which spanned from whole lobster to filet to roasted pig to veggie dishes) was absolutely to die for!! If you are looking for amazing food, great service and ease of mind go with shore caterer.

There are no words that can completely express the wonderful service we received from Shore Catering on our wedding day on August 15, 2015. From the first conversation to the last and everything in between, Patty and her staff were helpful, accommodating and gracious. It was a pleasure to work with a company that held true to core values and wanted to make our day as special as we did. Shore Catering was open and honest about pricing, choices, and what would be the best options for our family and our vision for our wedding. Our wedding went off without a hitch and this was due mainly in part because of Shore Catering and the amazing 4 individuals who arrived to set up, cook, serve and break down the entire event. The staff was efficient, courteous, friendly and above all, professional. The food was amazing and people were still raving about it days and weeks later. All of the food, from the first passed appetizer to the last piece of cake, fit perfectly into our vision for our wedding, tasted amazing and was served with a smile. Many friends and family have inquired about Shore Catering and we, without hesitation, have recommended them to cater any one of their next events.

Thank you again for making our wedding day special and exactly what we wanted.

We used Shore Catering for our at-home, 100 guest wedding. We selected the "casual clambake reception" and it was wonderful! Everyone loved the food, and they were impressed with both quality and quantity. We did not have to ask the staff for A THING. they knew what to do every step of the way.

One of the best things about Shore Catering is that they have detailed menus (with prices!) right on their website, which seems to be rare in the wedding vendor world, but it made my life easier when trying to decide on a caterer.

Shore Catering made my wedding reception absolutely fabulous! Patty and her team provided wonderful food that not only tasted delicious but that also complimented our wedding theme. The whole staff attended to all of our guests with respect and provided great service. Patty did an amazing job of making us all feel special. We never had to worry about one single detail being out of place or missing in general. Shore catering is extremely professional. I highly recommend using shore catering with any event; you will not be disappointed!

I cannot say enough about Patty and Shore Catering! We got married on LBI and chose the Lobster Bake Reception and it was amazing! I typically hate buffets because more often than not there are one or two good items and then everything else is awful. That was not the case with Shore Catering. Everything was fantastic from the hor d'oeuvres to the perfectly cooked lobster and our guests could not get enough. Patty was so easy to deal with and it was so helpful she was familiar with house where we were having our wedding because she was able to provide me with some direction. Additionally our servers were the best! Kelsey, Jess and Steve were on top of everything and so fun, friendly and accommodating from set-up to breakdown!

Thank you much for contributing to a fantastic day!

We had a small backyard wedding and went with the Traditional Clambake from Shore Catering. Patty was excellent to work with. I went back and forth with her on perfecting the menu and she was quick and so easy to work with. I couldn't have asked for better staff the day of the wedding. They arrived beforehand to set up and were so nice to work with. Our guest are still raving about the food and we couldn't have ask for a better experience with Shore Catering.

I hired Shore Catering for a clambake at my home for a 40th birthday celebration and couldn't be happier. Everything from start to finish was done perfectly and professionally. The seafood and other sides were fresh and delicious. Myself, the birthday man and all the guests couldn't get over what an excellent job the staff at Shore Catering provided. Would absolutely recommend and use again. Thank you!!

Had a small wedding celebration at home and we wanted something informal and fun. Decided on a pig roast and Shore Catering was the best, everyone of our guests raved about the food. From our first conversation with Patty up to a few days before the event, Shore Catering could not have been more helpful. Everything went smoothly, not one hiccup, servers and 'grill master' were professional, friendly and just the best. Would highly recommend Shore Catering.

We had a wonderful experience with Shore Catering! From our first phone conversation with Patty we felt totally comfortable which was very important because we are on the west coast and thus were planning from afar. Beyond the food service (which I'll get to in a minute), Patty and Bill were extraordinarily helpful in helping us create our whole event which took place on empty lot on the bay. Patty and Bill directed us to our week of wedding planner, they took care of the tent and facilities rentals, they found us our bartenders and they designed the layout of both the ceremony and reception. Without question they went way above and beyond the duties of a caterer and in all cases they came through with flying colors. In terms of the food, Patty was totally supportive and flexible at every turn. We changed the menu a number of times over the planning period and Patty was always amenable and always had great ideas for how to get what we wanted. And the service in the days leading up to the wedding and on the day of was impeccable. Patty and Bill made us feel super secure that everything would go as we had planned and on the day of, that was just the way it went. We used them for our rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, and Sunday brunch and in all cases the food and service were AMAZING. Appetizers, entrees, salads, dessert, you name it, it was awesome. And in the midst of all the madness during the reception, Patty somehow managed to find time to make sure my wife and I actually ate which we really appreciated (and enjoyed!). It was a wonderful experience across the board and we cannot recommend Shore Catering highly enough.

We hired Shore Catering for our rehearsal dinner. They coordinated rentals (tent, tables, chairs) and provided excellent customer service leading up to the event. Everyone we interacted with, from the office staff to the servers, was professional. But most of all the food was incredible! We've used Shore Catering before and will continue to use them in the future.

Patty and her team made our wedding day complete! The food was incredible and received so many compliments. The bakery they partner with made a beautiful and delicious cake that was gone in seconds! Even when I needed an extra set of hands for some miscellaneous details, Patty's team was there to offer a hand, and a reassuring smile. The 'icing' on the cake of the day was Patty's expertise. Not only did she have affordable, reliable and professional referrals for other wedding vendors, she also gave us simple detailed advice on things like timing of the events and photographer lighting. Patty herself surpassed all expectations and gave us peace of mind throughout all the planning that our day would be just perfect...and despite the rain, it absolutely was!!! Thanks Patty and team!!! I would recommend you again and again!

This is the second time in as many years that we have used Shore Catering. The event was a BBQ for our annual Team Appreciation Week. Like last years, everyone enjoyed the food. We lucked out this year and had a beautiful day for it. The servers, Mindee and Julie were excellent. They have wonderful customer service skills and were very attentive. Shore Catering is lucky to have them working there.
Thanks Mindee, Julie and everyone else at Shore Catering for making our event such a success!

Our family of 75 spent an entire week on the shore in Brigantine, NJ and Shore Catering handled our morning breakfast for the week as well as 3 catered dinners (a clambake, a BBQ, and an Italian-style dinner). Patty and her staff are the best! Everything ran so smoothly! We can't thank them enough for feeding us so well and making our family reunion perfect. Thanks also to Julie who was there every morning during breakfast (and for those delicious strawberry basil muffins), and to Katie for bartending. You guys rock!

We used Patty and her staff at Shore Catering for both our pre-wedding BBQ and Wedding Catering down in Stone Harbor, NJ for our June 21 wedding. I can't say enough good things about them. All our meetings with Patty before the wedding went so well, she had so many great ideas and tips that the planning was easy and worry-free. All the details for both events were taken care of flawlessly.
And of course the most important things was the food! Everything was delicous. We had many people say that it was the best fried chicken they ever had at the BBQ. The food for the wedding was also fantastic. Our raw bar with our own shucker was a great hit as well as the mashed potato bar. The service also was impeccable and everyone was so sweet to us they really felt like family.
I can't recommend them enough and am looking forward to using them again in the future.

I found Shorecatering from a web search to cater a rehearsal dinner / beach party at a rental home on LBI for the evening preceding our son's wedding. 11 months in advance, I confirmed their availabiity by email and placed a deposit and picked a package menu. Then I didn't have to think about anything for 10.5 months. About two weeks before the event they reconfirmed times, location, and asked for my final head count about a week before the event.

Amazing food, and our catering head steward (Jes) exuded calm and low-key organization. Due to uncertain weather, we staged the dinner in the same room as the open kitchen, and the staff still managed to be unobtrusive to the whole event. If I were ever going to be back in Jersey, I would use them again and again.

Because they were local, the bride's family spent lots of time picking wedding food, flowers, tasting, re-picking, etc. But I confess I'm feeling lucky that being the long-distance groom's mom, I could do it all with two emails and a credit-card. I got the lucky end of the arrangements - and have a wonderful new daughter to boot.

Shore Catering did our wedding this past August and were wonderful to work with! Patty and Bill were responsive, helpful, gave suggestions and handles EVERYTHING on our big day...oh, i forgot to mention their food is DELICIOUS! I will forever cherish the pictures of my guests enjoying their feasts dressed to the 9's sporting lobster bibs. HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who may be considering Shore Catering as an option for your big event!

My husband and I chose Shore Catering for our wedding reception because we wanted a clambake reception and read reviews that they did it the best. We were not disappointed! Patty and her crew were wonderful to work with and were very responsive to all of our needs. All of our guests raved about the clams, lobster, and the fried chicken, and about how much fun it was to have a clambake. The Shore Catering crew even packed up all of the extra food that was not eaten so we could do it all over again the next day. I highly recommend them!

Our experience with Shore Catering was nothing less than FANTASTIC!!! Our servers Mike and Annie were friendly, prefessional and above all fun. They knew how to have a good time with all the guests while maintaining they're composure to provide outstanding service. Working with Patty was a delight as well. She made it a point to be availble for any questions we had and if she wasn't she made sure to get back to us. I would, without hesitation, hire Shore Catering for our next event. Thank You So Much.

We had our wedding in August at Sandy Hook in Monmouth County, and Shore Catering catered and staffed our event - both wedding and rehearsal dinner

We could not be more pleased with everything! Our rehearsal dinner was at a B&B in Asbury Park, and Patty and her crew were more than accommodating. Everything was brought in a timely matter, and the quality of the food incredible!

For our wedding we chose the lobster boil, and honestly I've never had a juicer or better cooked lobster. The clams were succulent and so tasty, the chicken and accompanying dishes were so flavorful and hot, even on site in a field by the bay! My guests could not stop raving about our food, the words "Best wedding food I've ever had" came from at least a dozen of our guests.

The servers were so professional and friendly, all Patty's recommendations for bartenders, rentals, bakeries were on point.

I hope to use Shore Catering for another event in the future, we cannot RAVE enough!!!

I could not wait to call Patty (Shore Caterting's owner) to thank her for the services Shore Catering provided for our wedding. My wife and I are both super busy and work long hours so communicating quickly and efficiently is important to each of us. The process from coming up with the initial menu, to the tasting, the wrapping up loose ends, was relatively seamless. Patty worked with us to come up with a menu that was truly tailored to our wants. We felt confident leading up to our big day, that things were set. It was just one less worry admist a stressful time. But the day of the event is truly where we were blown away. First of all, the food was excellent. From the appetizers to the main courses, not one single complaint could I lobby. In fact, we received many compliments about "exceptional" taste! That being said, what I really want to talk about is the staff provided to serve the food. When they first arrived, my instincts were to give some directive. Patty's staff politely urged me to step back, allow them to handle everything, and ENJOY THE WEDDING. So I did. And I must say, the four individuals that served our guests were PHENOMINAL. I can't say enough. My wife and I both agree that it was the BEST PARTY we have ever attended and SHORE CATERING is due so much credit.

Shore Catering did a fantastic job at our recent dinner party! The food was delicious; fresh and hot. Not only was the food great but the service was even better! Bryan set up the buffet, bussed and cleaned all by himself. Several of my family members couldn't believe he was the only worker! Helpful and accommodating to all the guests requests, without making his presence known. Thank you Shore Catering for helping our lobster boil dinner party to be a huge success!

I am an extremely demanding customer and find it amazing that I could not even find a tiny flaw. I dreaded having a wedding celebration partly because of having to deal with the "vendors". SHORE CATERING WAS PERFECTION FROM DAY ONE! It is extremely rare to have such wonderful service and attention. To be honest, I kept waiting for something to happen or not happen but it never did. They truly excelled at making my wedding exactly as I wished. They took care of everything from my fairly freqent changes and questions to the linens and exceptional bartending referrals. With everything going so well in the planning stages, we decided to ask them to cater a breakfast at our home for our out of town guests. For a lot less money and logistical issues than it would be to take everyone out to a restaurant, we had an absolutely great, relaxing breakfast in our home. (And how about this, that morning Patty called to make sure everything was going well...Yeah, she didn't have to do that the night before at the reception because both she and Bill were there. Do you ever have that happen??)

Do yourself a favor and give yourself the privilege of having these fine folks cater your wedding or any special event. I truly felt catered to. I so enjoyed my wedding and really did not think I would. Shore Catering is top shelf in every aspect. I could go on and on...and I have to all friends and family. They have set the standard and I would never use anyone else for my needs. (I did, unfortunately have to use several caterers in Houston for a work-related week long function and let's just say it went as expected. Typical. Forgettable. Standard. Mediocre. Everything Shore Catering is NOTt! I just knew none of them could hold a candle to Shore Catering. ) I totally endorse and recommend Shore Catering. I can't thank them enough for making my wedding!. And if you're not in New Jersey, consider moving your event here...they are THAT worth it!

Shore Catering catered our daughter's wedding reception and they were excellent. Patty is experienced, knows the business, very friendly and a pleasure to work with. She worked with us to come up with a tremendous menu and also arranged for our tables, chairs, tent and linens. The staff who worked the reception were wonderful. Last but not least the food was outstanding.

We would not hesitate to use Shore Catering in the future and would recommend them to anyone. Matt & Liz Kurtz

My experience with this caterer was far more than I expected. From Patti, with whom I made arrangements from Florida, I received a lot of help with the menu, a number for a bartender, the tent set-up, tables. linens, tables set as I wanted them, and a minister, who was wonderful, to perform our ceremony. I changed directions in menu quite a few times, as well as changing placement of chairs, one place for the wedding and a move to the tent for the reception. All these changes she took without a word of complaint and all in good humor. Her staff arrived on schedule, completed all tasks efficiently and smilingly, even to repacking some antique toasting goblets, and knowing exactly where they were the next day. Everything went off beautifully . The butler served h'or d'oevres were delicious and plantiful, the dinner was delicious, and the cake was ver good. It couln't have been done better and I would highly recommend Patti, her expertise and her wonderful staff to manage any wedding, party, or special event. Very sincerely, Leslie Bettencourt-Meister

Shore catering was truly a pleasure to deal with. Their pricing was very reasonable, the quality, preparation and presentation of the food was top notch and the team of waitstaff was friendly and helpful.

Also, after the event they made sure that the venue was neat clean and any leftovers were wrapped up & ready to go!

They made the rehearsal dinner great!

I cant praise this company enough! We began our wedding plans with a dream, a dream of a beach wedding with family & friends & a very different menu. I searched the internet for beach wedding & found shore caterers not realizing it I stumbled into the anchor of my entire event! Patty had the perfect menu of lobster clams shrimp along with chicken & ribs all homemade & delicious! But Patty didnt stop at our stomach she provided assistance in countless ways She found my venue . . a perfect hall on the water in Brick, the tent rental, bartender & even her daughter to be my personal assistant for the day! Andrew & I will remember our wedding forever as a beautiful loving stressless day! Patty we will love you forever thank you!!!

They helped me set up the table & centerpieces beautifully, at the end of the evening broke down my decorations & boxed them up to take with me at the end of the night. The catering & extra service that comes with the package is well worth the money, VERY inexpensive compared to the other caterers,but without the sacrifice of food quality!! Many compliments were made on the quality & presentation of the food, best of all, if anythings left they'll pack it up & send it home with you! That was helpful for the out of towners whom got together the next day with local family without the bother of cooking, just visiting. I also opted to use them for my rehersal dinner at my family home to alleviate the unexpected high cost of a resturant site & was very pleased with the quality of food as well. Book them if you love to get value for your hard earned dollar, especially if you like great food & exceptional service!!!

Shore Catering did our Rehersal Dinner Lobster Bake at the NJ Shore. From the start they were great to deal with and worked with us on every aspect of this event including coordinating tents, supplies and suggestions for the menu. The day of the event they were outstanding. All their workers were courteous and hard working and the end result with an outstanding lobster bake that only got rave reviews from all who attended. Once they arrived we had little to worry about and the price was very reasonable. This event went so well we have since then used them on 2 different occasions for the same thing with only the same outcome. If your looking to do a lobster bake or anything along those lines, I would highly recommend Shore Catering.

Patty and Bill and Shore Catering were amazing. Their service and professionalism were above and beyond. The food was perfect. Most of the guests are still raving. I will have only Shore Catering handle any of my forthcoming events.

Easy to work with Shore Catering

Shore Catering provided us with pretty great service from the moment I first spoke with Patty 9 months before our wedding and all the way through. Patty was consistently easy to work with, offering tips and suggestions, but never being pushy. She was respectful of our budget and even suggested some venues to us (including the one we wound up going with, that we had never heard of before and didn't come up in any of our searches- and wound up being perfect! Thank you for that, Patty!) Our first conversation was over the phone and the next day she emailed me a mock up quote with a sample menu and cost. We live across the country so were only in town a few times before the wedding and each time, Patty made herself available to meet with us. In between meetings, she was very responsive over e-mail fine-tuning the menu based on our requests. She was able to accommodate our style by offering alternatives and substitutions, which was much appreciated. The ease of communication and willingness to work with us on our many requests was invaluable, as it never added to the stress of wedding planning. Due to this we wound up ordering brunch for the next morning (after the wedding) with Shore Catering as well, which was completely customized to our requests. Patty was great at thinking of things that we hadn't and making suggestions of things we may need. She felt like more than a caterer in that she not only suggested venues to us, but also handled working with a vendor that we rented some tables from, helped set these tables with linens and ties that we provided, suggested where we buy our alcohol from, and connected us with a bartender (who also did a great job and was within our budget). All of these things really helped us with securing many needs for our wedding besides just the food. We heard from many of our guests that the food was great, especially the cocktail hour- which unfortunately, we didn't get to experience much of. My only complaint is that the dessert that we ordered was not what was served and we never heard an apology following the event about it so we were disappointed by that. In the big scheme of things that was pretty insignificant, as the dessert(s) were still yummy and the above-and-beyond service otherwise overshadowed that one oversight. The staff that was on hand was also great, as was the buffet display, including the decor that they used on the catering tables, that matched our beach theme. The day after brunch was delicious. The bagels from Jersey Shore Bagel and Deli were outstanding and the omelet bar was a huge hit! All the food was spot on and the staff was on point. We were very happy with Shore Catering and recommend them to help reduce the stress of planning your event!

I used shore catering for my Wedding.
The food and service was excellent.
The staff was efficient, professional, and personable.
Patty was very easy to work with and very flexible.
Being a trained chef and caterer myself I know how the event should go.
I would definitely use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend.

Some of the food was to bland. Maybe due to our culture we loving cooking with heaven spices and herb.
Servers and presentation was of first quality! I have called w lots of question, to hang up with a great assurance everything was being taken care of. Pat and Sue always was happy to answer and help in anyway. Thank you for making this wedding unforgettable one.

Just wanted to share with you what an amazing job your staff did at our wedding on Saturday. Everyone was so professional, incorporated the look we were going for, and above all provided amazing service and delicious food. The cocktail hour was smooth, your chef accommodated changes to the day and was an excellent communicator, and your wait staff worked their butts off to make it happen. We are 100% satisfied with Shore Catering and can not wait to refer some new customers to you. From day one, you and your staff have been professional, informative, and above all kind.

I was incredibly please with the service and quality of food provided by Shore Catering. Our wedding was a beach-sdie lobster boil, and we were able to customize the menu to fit our wide range of needs. The food was fresh and tasty, and I really enjoyed seeing the lobster pot as they are cooked right on the premises. It was a pleasure to have them cater our wedding.

The WORST experience I have ever had with a service provider. They demanded that we pay $675 to the wait staff before our reception and refused to deliver our food until we paid them in cash. We wanted a casual but nice outdoor BBQ for our wedding reception. We were told that one of the "partners" would be our cook and the food would be to order. They set up a grill on the side of the building and cooked hamburgers and hot dogs and put them in an aluminum tray on a table, cheese and condiments in another tray. They were cold and overcooked when served. We were also told that would could have shrimp shooters at the same cost and I was informed 2 hours before the reception, that we would be charged additional and the bill would need to be revised and paid before they would change it. None of the food, nor wedding cake was wrapped properly, the food was piled on top of each other and put in the refridgerator at our sites kitchen. They were rude and Unprofessional and when I called and told the owner that I was not happy with thier service, he replied..."you were probably Drunk"!!!!! To say the very least, I would never recommend this Company and I fully intend on ensuring that they do not have the chance to ruin another even as they did mine.
