Meghan D. Sent on 11/18/2023Food Your Wedding Guests Will ACTUALLY LOVE!!!!
THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for making our dream day come to life so seamlessly! We are eternally grateful to your entire team who made our wedding at the Community House possible on 11/03/2023.
Thank you for your dedication to detail, artistry, and excellent service. Thank you for honoring our detailed notes and making our vision come to life joyfully. We appreciate your staff being there early to ensure the entire day went smoothly. Thank you for working with all our vendors so graciously - a true collaborative effort.
The compliments have been nonstop from our family and friends about the food. EVERYTHING was delicious, hot, and served so professionally. The presentation was top-notch. A cocktail hour like none other. Everywhere guests floated there was an abundance of food and bartenders. A DREAM! The staff and bartenders were above and beyond kind, friendly, and helpful to our guests. Thank you for ensuring everyone was having a grand time.
Erika + Jackie - THANK YOU so much for being my Mom's right-hand team. She cannot stop raving about how on top of everything you were! Whatever we needed it was taken care of - and done so easefully and graciously. Thank you for making sure we always had a drink in our hands, food in our bellies, and time to breathe in each moment.
Thank you for packing up our cars so quickly, for carrying everything out, making sure our guests got home safely, and making sure the food made it back to my parents. Thank you for all your advice and assistance along the way - we could not recommend a better team!

We hired Erika and Due Amici to plan our wedding at Valenzano’s Vintner’s Pavilion. Erika made everything run smoothly from planning, rescheduling in a pandemic, to the night of the wedding. The food is excellent and they are so attentive to any sensitivities. Everyone was raving about all of their food options. They take the place of an outside wedding planner which is so convenient! The planning meeting was great and Erika made sure all our decisions were made then. We definitely recommend Due Amici! -

Due Amici has always been the place where our family celebrates special moments in our lives, so we knew we wanted to celebrate our wedding day with them too! When you work with Due Amici, you receive an experience far beyond expectations. Erika, Maryann, and their team were by our side every step of the way in coordinating our vendors, decor, timeline, and all of the wedding day details. Their expertise and organization are unmatched, resulting in the most effortless event. Not only are they super talented, but they are some of the kindest people you will ever work with as well. Erika was flexible, accommodating, and extremely helpful, full of advice gathered from many previous events. In addition to their fabulous coordinators, Due Amici provides the most delicious food! They had so many options to choose from for our hors d’oeuvres and main course, as well as a full dessert bar with our favorite sweets from the restaurant. The option to have a buffet meal allowed guests to have a taste of everything! Because of the help from everyone at Due Amici, our wedding day was everything we could have ever wished for. -

We are officially one week after my wedding and STILL going through desserts, appetizers, pasta, veggies, and seafood! The food is absolutely delicious and everyone LOVED the pasta dishes and my brother is still talking about the cannolis. Aside from delicious food, Due Amici had everything running smoothly at the wedding. Everything went absolutely perfectly and I thank Nicole for that. She is not only an awesome person but an amazing, secret CIA agent, talented, wedding guru! She was able to see things that were needed without me even noticing or thinking to ask for something. After the ceremony she asked if I wanted anything and jokingly I said my sneakers. Next thing you know, she speaks into her camouflage headset and someone appeared with my shoes and socks in hand! CIA moves right there! Throughout the wedding Nicole was very attentive and ready to do anything that was needed, including filling our plates with all our favorites and making sure a packaged meal was placed in the car, which was gratefully devoured at home that evening. That evening everything was packed up the car PERFECTLY with left overs and all my DIY décor, all I had to do was hop in the car and leave.
I honestly don’t know how else to put it, but I am beyond glad that Due Amici catered my wedding- I do not think it would have gone so perfectly without them. I can promise that with Due Amici, you will be nothing but pleased with everything they do. There is a reason they continue to receive rewards each year, they truly earned them.

Diana Sent on 09/09/2019Venue on fire? No problem! Erika's got it under control!
Erika and Due Amici were the glue that held our wedding together. And not like glue stick. Like super glue on a toddler's fingers. Planning the ceremony, all the in's and out's, last minute and late night emails, fire in the kitchen at the venue on day of, closing and packing cars? Yep yep yep yep yep. Yes I said fire in the kitchen. At the venue. ON THE DAY OF. Dishwasher went up in flames. Erika? Calm as a cucumber, helped direct the fire department. Had the smoke out and the wedding party back into hair and makeup within 30 minutes.
Erika's a champion of the wedding game. She helped us each step along the way and helped us plan a fantastic ceremony then ran it down to the minute. She made the day easy. When we needed a few minutes alone? No problem. Add 10 minutes to cocktail hour on the day of? No problem. Climbing a ladder to help take down lighting at the end of the night? No problem. Erika does and does and does.
Due Amici? Just as good. If you plan a Chinese/Jewish wedding, Italian is the way to go. ;) Food was absolutely fantastic. Cocktails were great. Appetizers? Bacon wrapped shrimp, meatballs (Yes, meatballs! They were so good, the guests raved about them!), bacon wrap all of the things because it's excellent. Dinner, salads, and entrees were loved by all.
So what should you do? Use them for your birthday, your wedding, your funeral if you like to plan way in advance. Any party they throw? Absolutely fantastic and easy as cake. Speaking of cake? Their deserts are also absolutely fantastic.
11/10, 12/10 if the scale is arbitrary and non-linear. You cannot go wrong with Due Amici and Erika.

(Since my hubby, Adam, and I agreed to divvy up the task of writing these reviews, I'll let him do much of the talking -- see above. I just wanted to say, though, that Erika was absolutely wonderful at keeping us on schedule and helping keep us calm even with the literal fire during setup! Hey, if she can keep a bride calm through that, I don't think there's anything Erika can't do! :) Thank you, Due Amici crew for all of your hard work in making our day perfect!) -

We do not have enough good things to say about Due Amici’s catering! We used Due Amici for our wedding this past November and the whole thing went off without a hitch. Our wedding was at the Moorestown Community House and we had 150 guests. Dan had me feeling confident in our decision from the very beginning. They organized all of our vendors, communicated with our band and coordinated the flow of the wedding from start to finish. We didn’t need to worry about when to be where, there was always someone from the Due Amici staff letting us know how the cocktail hour was going, how long we had until they opened the ball room, and whether or not any modifications needed to be made to the schedule as the party progressed.
While we were doing photos during cocktail hour there were multiple servers who came and brought us food so we didn’t miss out on the fabulous hors d’oeuvres. I asked the guests what they thought of the food and everyone only had positive things to say. I personally had the Penne Ala Vodka and it was so delicious! We even had several people with dietary restrictions and Dan was on it! I called him to let him know we needed a special meal option and he provided me with that meal and added it to our entre options immediately. We actually had ordered the Caesar salad for our sit down meal… but the huge recall on romaine lettuce happened the week of our wedding. Due Amici called me mid week to tell me they had to improvise – we talked about our options over the phone and I never thought about it again. This was so important for us because we are a military family and got relocated to Missouri while trying to plan a wedding in New Jersey. Due Amici made it so easy!! We brought all of the decorations, but they did the actual decorating so we didn’t have to worry about it. One of the best parts was that they broke everything down as well! Before the party started my parents gave their keys to Dan and the staff broke down the entire venue and packed their vehicles with the decorations, presents and leftover food! The whole place was cleaned up before my parents had even finished saying goodbye to everyone – so all they had to do was get in their cars and head home. No extra work for them post-party. We are so thankful we choose Due Amici as our wedding caterer. I would use them again for another party any day!

Lindsey Sent on 11/30/2018Married 11.03.18 - Fabulous Service!
Words can't describe how integral Erika and the Due Amici team were in making our wedding day perfect. Erika was so responsive to my (absurdly numerous) questions - she answered every email almost immediately. We felt so prepared and comfortable on our big day because she had thought of everything, and helped us make it a reality. The Due Amici team was involved in setup, breakdown, and the entire day. They set everything up perfectly for us, we had no stress! The food was delicious, as well! But it says a lot about this vendor when the food, which was seriously amazing, is still not as important as the service; the service and attention we received was just above and beyond. On the wedding day, Erika worked seamlessly with our vendors and handled last-minute changes with ease. We are SO GRATEFUL for Erika and Due Amici for their role in making our wedding amazing and perfect! -

Martha Sent on 05/31/2018Dan and Erika are two of my favourite people on the planet. They made sure that our wedding day ran as smoothly as possible and went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Not only were they there whenever we needed them on the day, but in the run up to the wedding they were easily contactable and checked in with us regularly. They anticipated our every need on the day and before we had to ask for anything, it had already been taken care of.
Aside from the exceptional service, the food was wonderful. We had a few vegan and GF guests who were amazed by the amount of food they could eat during cocktail hour, as well as their delicious main meals. We got so many compliments from our friends and family about not only the food, but all of the incredibly attentive staff.
Everyone from Due Amici made sure the whole day ran smoothly, set up and broke down all of our decor, and had our cars packed before we left the venue meaning we didn't have to worry about a single thing that day.
We could not have asked for a better team of people to be around us on one of the most important days of our lives! -

Patrick Sent on 08/25/2017Simply stated, I cannot imagine a better caterer/coordinator than Due Amici.
My wife and I were won over by Dan's enthusiasm, charm, and the way he spoke about doing weddings. It was clear that he loves it and brings that with him every step of planning and executing a wedding along the way. Wedding planning is a long and frequently tiring experience, but Dan and Erika were invaluable sources of knowledge, advice, and brilliant ideas that made our wedding absolutely perfect.
Dan gave us the idea of taking advantage of the patio area at Valenzano to have a cigar and whiskey bar that turned out to be a smash hit with the guests, worked with us and the DJ to ensure our friend's band could play during our cocktail hour in the awesome barrel room at Valenzano, and countless other times proved himself to be a tireless worker with an incredible staff. This was not a wedding where a spattering of people were dancing and everyone else was sitting at their assigned table. Everyone was up, making the most of the space and enjoying themselves, due in large part to the brilliant way Dan and Erika utilize the venue.
Our guests could not stop raving about the food. From the cold appetizers, to hot hors d'oeuvres, bread (with garlic knots, a personal favorite), main dishes, pasta station, desserts, everything was not only presented beautifully but was delicious. This is the restaurant quality food that you wish all your friends had at their weddings. We had a few vegans and food allergies to worry about and they were taken care of masterfully.
Dan and Erika are experts at making the most of the venues they work in and it shows.
They consistently exceeded our every expectation, repeatedly outdid themselves, and my wife and I could not be more grateful for the incredible work they did. We now hold them in the highest of esteems, both professionally and personally.
Do yourself a favor, and let Due Amici make your wedding the best day of your lives. -
User2691269 Sent on 07/18/2016Dan and Erika at Due Amici were amazing. We could not have asked for a better experience. They were there every step of the way to answer any questions we had in a very timely manner. Dan was my day of coordinator and was in touch with all of my vendors before the big day which relieved SO much stress off of me. I felt like I could completely trust him with everything and he did not let me know. He was there the entire reception making sure everything went off without a hitch (and it did!); everything was on time, he hit on all the little details that I wanted, and the food was great! Definitely do the sweetheart dinner if you can; it was so nice to have a special, quiet moment such my new husband and I. Dan made sure any problems were solved immediately. Everyone LOVED the food- SO much food haha, all delicious. We love going to the restaurant itself and will be back for many more years to come and use them for events in the future. My husband and I just got back from our Honeymoon and waiting for us in the mail was a thank you card from Due Amici with pictures that Dan himself took at the reception with a gift card to the restaurant. It was so thoughtful! Thank you so much for making our day the BEST day we could have ever hoped for.
