Romit Sent on 10/08/2024The BEST Wedding Caterer in the Northeast!
The food was 11 out of 10. At a wedding one of the things that people remember most is the food. We are an admittedly ‘belly-first’ family with high standards for food. We also care a lot about aesthetics and want to make sure the food looks beautiful. So approaching Sukhadia and asking for a mix of Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, and western/Mexican to be presented beautifully with authenticity and taste across cuisines was a tall order for anyone - but Shaivi and the Sukhadia team delivered to RAVE REVIEWS!
*Food* - Wow. I cannot imagine the food being any better. Every hard-to-please auntie and uncle were raving about the food. Every guest from India used to having hot paratha at street stalls was floored by the kathi rolls. The paalak chaat was crispy and delicious. The masala chai and madras coffee was kadak and refreshing. I’m making myself hungry again just reading this. Forget the rest, hire the best.
*Vibe/Energy* - Shaivi is THE BEST. You spend a lot of time with your vendors on your wedding day and you want a team around you that uplifts you, makes you feel everything is possible and that they will handle any bumps in the road with grace. Shaivi was that and more. When other vendors put up roadblocks, she jumped at the opportunity to have her team handle a challenge. Shaivi even helped pin my wife’s dupatta at one point in the night. Feels like she is part of the family now.
*Service* - We had a difficult venue - outdoors, with decent-but-not-perfect facilities, water with a sulfur-taste (but beautiful! Don’t @ us!). Shaivi and team jumped in, recommended porting in their own water, brought all the materials they needed, allowed us to rent their equipment, hired a full staffing team to help our planner out as well, and just NAILED IT. Wow, it was so seamless it felt like the easiest thing in the world. Thank you Sukhadia!
*Presentation* - My wife (!) and MIL are all about the aesthetics. They like things to be understated yet elegant - whatever the equivalent of quiet luxury for food is (eye roll). But wow, they did a great job. The stations for appetizers and cocktail hour were so thoughtfully presented. The live stations brought a freshness and crispness to every texture and flavor of delicate snacks. The dinner was served buffet-style (our choice) and the serving dishes and serving ware had a gorgeous antique aesthetic. 10/10.
*Communication/Professionalism* - Before we tasted the food this is what made us hire them. Shaivi is the consummate professional. Responsive, SUPER hard working, answering phone calls at all hours of the night after she had completed an event, and able to communicate not just with her millennial clients, but with our parents and our entire wedding team. It felt like she was putting on an event for her own family member.
*Value* - How do you put a price to an experience that is this wonderful?! Well, you must, and it turns out the price was reasonable, if not a steal! This is your most important vendor, and the price includes not just the cost of the ingredients, but the incredible service, professionalism, and true caring/investment in your event. There is tremendous value to this vendor, and I would strongly encourage future clients to not just think of this as purchasing food. High ROI.
*Overall* - Yes, chef. -

We only have the best things to say about Sukhadia! The food was exceptional and our guests were raving about all the stations (the dosa especially!) at the event itself and in the weeks after. I also can't emphasize enough how helpful Shaivi was throughout the process -- the communication with her was always easy and reliable, and she was instrumental in making sure the event was such a success. -

Working with Sukhadia Caterers for our wedding was a great experience! Shaivi and her team were very accommodating and helpful with all of our dietary restrictions. We had 3 separate events that needed catering and Shaivi helped us create a unique menu for each one. All of the food tasted amazing and we got many compliments from our guests about the quality and variety of dishes the whole wedding weekend. We strongly recommend having Sukhadia cater your event! -

We got married in North Carolina and looked far and wide for catering. We ended up going with Sukhadia because of their creativity and professionalism. We went back and forth on the menu several times over the course of months. We wanted different themes for every event and they delivered 100%. They also had a list of their tried and true recipes as well as new ideas they are willing to try. Our tasting experience was exceptional and the worked with parents on both side to find the perfect menu. During the actual wedding, the caterer made sure we were happy with every detail. The presentation was outstanding and they collaborated with our decorator to completely wow every guest. Even 7 months out, we still get compliments about the delicious food at our wedding from Sukhadia -

I was so happy we went with Sukhadia. Shiavi is so pleasant to work with, and really knows what items to combine together to create the perfect menu. She was so accommodating for the food tasting, and willing to tweak dishes to our taste when needed. I would 100% recommend. The food was absolutely amazing. -

Chirag Sent on 08/16/2021The Perfect Caterer & Best Food!
Our journey for a caterer started in parallel with our search for a wedding venue. As I'm sure many Indian couples can agree, food was extremely important for us. As Shaivi was a personal friend, we decided to reach out to her for a quote. Although their team have catered destination weddings all over the country, they had never done an event in Lake Tahoe before. We were a bit hesitant on the initial call as we wanted someone who knew the area, however Shaivi expressed her confidence that they would be able to do accommodate us and make it an amazing weekend. After doing the tasting at their NJ office, we were completely sold. Not only did we appreciate the presentation, taste, and variety, but the pricing was reasonable and the team felt like family.
Our wedding took place at The Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe, which has never allowed outside caterers for weddings, but after an incredible amount of pressure, they agreed. It was important that they felt comfortable with the professionalism and quality of the outside caterer and Sukhadias was the perfect fit. Apart from doing a physical site inspection at the resort, Shaivi kept in constant communication with the F&B team there and made sure both teams were able to work with synergy. The Ritz was super impressed with Sukhadia's operations.
When we arrived in Lake Tahoe, Sukhadias was already there prepping for all of our events. Little did we know the obstacles that they had to overcome; with their cargo flight getting cancelled a few days before, Shaivi made the call to have over 1000 lbs of food be brought to Lake Tahoe via their Sukhadias van all the way from New Jersey! She also had to deal with many last minute changes to the layouts, but handled everything with ease.
Throughout the weekend and even after the weekend was over, our guests RAVED about the food. Absolutely nothing but compliments and dozens of people said it was the best food they had ever had at an Indian wedding, including some non-Indian guests who could not stop eating the food at the Vatan Village station! At the reception, people were in awe at the endless table of desserts. Also we are so glad we upgraded to have fresh jalebis at the goodbye brunch -- they were be the best we ever had.
We feel honored to have had Sukhadias cater our wedding weekend and thank you Shaivi for sincerely making all of our events special for us and our guests. Five stars all around and next time we have a big event, they will be top of mind. If you are looking for a caterer who will go above and beyond and make sure everything is perfect down to the dot, hire Sukhadias! Thank you Shaivi, Oscar, and the rest of the Sukhadias team for helping us create an unforgettable weekend. -

Meerali Sent on 06/22/2021Ft. Lauderdale 3 day/5 event Indian Wedding
Absolutely beyond amazing food, variety, presentation, and professionalism from Shaivi and her team!!! We’ve been planning our 3 day, 5 event wedding with Shaivi for over 2-3 years. Her attention to detail and planning for different food options and live stations at each of our events made our wedding the #1 wedding that all of our guests have attended or thrown themselves! Our guests can’t stop raving about all the new items they tried (a live sushi station) to how wonderful each of the Indian food items was. After waiting a year in a pandemic to have a wedding, our guests truly appreciated having all the food items they haven’t had in a year available to them in a 3 day span!! We had no less than what seemed like 50+ different and unique items over 3 days and each item was even better than the next!! We would recommend them to anyone to use for their events or weddings to have the most incredible experience!!! Between the live stations and additional food displayed and available, we know we had happy guests leaving each of our events fully stuffed to the brim. Their food and presentation helped elevate our wedding to a next level success that we hadn’t seen coming!! -

Ashwin Sent on 06/13/2021Sukhadia Caterers are rockstars, look no further!!!
Out of this world wedding services!! Shaivi, Oscar, and the entire Sukhadia Caterers team completely knocked the events for our New York City rooftop wedding out of the park! Choosing a caterer at the beginning of wedding planning based off of quotes and menus is one thing, but having your vendor plan with your wedding team to deliver an exceptional experience come the big day is a completely different thing, I couldn’t have imagined any other caterer being able to do what Sukhadia Caterers did for our multi-event Hindu wedding in NYC.
Shaivi & Oscar guided us throughout the entire planning process, brainstorming themes & event flow, selecting dishes, ironing out day-of plans, etc. Once they understood what our vision was for the big day, Shaivi & Oscar came up with the most creative and innovative ideas for presentation of food and an action plan on how to wow our guests. They went above & beyond to ensure our day was amazing and they definitely exceeded every expectation we had.
The food, the food!!! The food was amazing. Whether it was veg, non-veg, or snacks & dessert, each dish that we selected for our big day was absolutely delicious - they were able to accommodate both South Indian and North Indian cuisine that allowed us to represent the different backgrounds of our families. Even a week after our wedding, our guests are still raving about the food, the presentation, and the creativity that the Sukhadia team brought to all of our events.
Most caterers focus mainly on the food; however, Shaivi and her team played a major role in influencing our venue and wedding vendor teams on how to best utilize the venue and space in order to ensure that the events flowed well and that the guests had an amazing time. Sukhadia’s nailed it everytime, whether it was small snacks, drinks, a buffet line, butler-passed food, or live food stations!!
Lastly, our venue, being brand-new, had not completed all construction in time for our big day, at the last minute, Sukhadia Caterers had to plan to bring in kitchen equipment and setup a kitchen on an NYC rooftop to make our vision come true, and they got it done, no fuss.
I strongly recommend that you select Sukhadia Caterers as the caterer of choice for your wedding events and any other events you may have! -

We hired Sukhadia to cater an intimate, sit-down, anniversary dinner of 11 and they made it memorable. They both prepared and served the multiple courses and showed an amazing eye for detail. They brought all the dinnerware and set the table, even doing some simple and elegant flower arrangements. The food was great and they were attentive without being intrusive. They even went the extra mile and taped the toasts when they saw that no one else was. Shaivi was really calm even during the inevitable pre-party frenzy and very easy to deal with. And Oscar, the chef, if not only a great cook but a great dancer as we discovered when he made a brief appearance on the dance floor. I'd highly recommend them. -

Janaki Sent on 09/10/2020They saved our COVID wedding!
As most of us have experienced this year, our dream wedding in August had to be quickly re-planned. We had originally hired Shaivi Sukhadia and her team to cater our multi-day 400+ person wedding in upstate New York. When we had to dramatically scale down our event due to COVID, Shaivi and her team did not hesitate to help us in any way they could! They were extremely flexible with working within our new budget, still traveling to upstate NY to cater our small backyard wedding, and making arrangements to provide food for all of our guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. They also went above and beyond to ensure that the entire process was compliant with current recommends for food service during COVID. What I loved the most was that we were still able to incorporate many of the small details and fun things that we wanted to include in our originally planned wedding including live stations, custom beverages and custom snacks for our guest. We can't thank Shaivi and her team enough for literally saving our COVID wedding and making the entire process as best as it could have been! We would definitely recommend this team and would absolutely hire them again in the future!

Avni Sent on 07/12/2019Amazing service and food. We loved the creativity!
We loved working with Shaivi and her team at Sukhadia. We had a two day wedding in an outdoor uncommon venue and from the beginning we felt supported by them to help us achieve our vision. We had many guests come up to us and say that Sukhadia's food was the best food they've had at a wedding and their presentation and service was top notch. They were incredibly flexible and worked closely with our coordinator and venue to achieve our goals. We couldn't have asked for a better and more supportive team! -

Sukhadia Caterers provided us with excellent services with full attention through the events. All of our guest enjoyed the food and were very happy with the varieties, taste, quality and freshness. The creativity with the chocolate fountain was one of the favorites! We will look forward for your excellent food service for our future events. -

Sneha Sent on 05/27/2018If you're looking for a caterer for your event, the search stops here. From the first inquiry call I made to the very end of our event, they maintained a strong attention to detail and were extremely easy to work with. Despite having only met them once prior to the event, the process and selection for our event was smoother than I could've imagined. During the event itself they were very capable and independent, not needing any guidance or help from us, and had excellent presentation of all the items. People thoroughly enjoyed their food and even now I'm still getting calls from guests talking about the food. If I were to have an event in the future, I know I've already found my caterer. -

Excellent Food and Presentation
Sukhadia did a fantastic job. They were very easy to work with. Shaivi paid a lot of attention to detail and helped us with our needs for the religious function. We had asked for specific things for the Muhurtham and she delivered flawlessly. The food including the presentation wowed all our guests and the quality was outstanding. Hot Jalebi station was a instant hit. Shaivi and her team are the best and we would definitely recommend them for any event. Thanks Shaivi!!! -

Amazing food, unique menus, and genuine people
I had the best experience with having Sukhadia do my wedding events. The food was amazing and they offered so many unique items. The attention to detail was next level- Sukhadia hand crafted macarons for our wedding ceremony. They really personalized the menu for our needs. I have a nut allergy and they were able to create a menu to fit my requirements. Our guests were raving about how good the food was. I highly recommend Sukhadia for any event! -
