“Me and my husband chose MAHFY to cater our 80 person wedding because they offered extensive menu options and the price was right. We are SO GLAD we went with them. This husband and wife team was a true pleasure to work with from the beginning. They came to our home for a tasting, which made for a lovely sort of date night. We enjoyed getting to know them and felt very taken care of. They remained attentive and communicative in the months leading up to the wedding, answering any questions right away. At the wedding, our guests were delighted by the food, and I’m still hearing praises of it a month later. Our guests had a wide array of tastes and dietary restrictions, but we easily found something for everyone (see our menu in the photos!). Don’t hesitate to hire MAHFY for your event! They’re good people serving good food :).”

“From the moment that we met Marianne for our tasting, we knew not only would she be our caterer but that she was a new friend. Due to freezing cold temps & layers upon layers of ice in NJ last winter, a pipe at the catering facility burst so Marianne graciously hosted us at her home for our tasting which was phenomenal!! We had the greatest time together talking with her & her husband (& adorable dog) that we forgot we were at a wedding tasting and just felt like we were socializing. This is how amazing & kind of a person Marianne is. We talked so many times over choices and changes and relied on her expertise suggestions which were always spot on!! She was always very available to discuss questions or concerns. When the time got closer to our wedding date, we started to communicate with Melissa more often as she was going to be who we had with us at out wedding at Founders Grove. Melissa is incredibly hard working, literally non-stop!!, efficient, was very tactful in situation where she needed to be firm and handles a wedding like I have never seen before. She is so incredible and we owe her & her amazing team an abundance of gratitude! I had a very specific vision of how I wanted the tablescapes to be and when we were brought into the reception room, I was brought to tears and how exquisite it turned out. It was perfection. With all of this already said, the main attraction of course is the INCREDIBLE food. Our wedding was about 6 weeks ago and everyone is still talking about how delicious every single thing was. From cocktail hour, to dinner, to the milkshakes (a must!!), & ohhh the desserts!!!!! everything was out of this world!! We wanted stations for dinner and wow were our guests so happy we did because they kept going back over & over again. We even had cheesesteaks for our end of night take home snack which was also a really big hit, although everyone said how full they were, they still found room for an end of night cheesesteak!! The carving station NY striploin, lamp chops milanese, short rib, grilled tequila shrimp, scallops. the tater-tini station, pickled crab spoon, roast pork & crabcake sliders all a must amongst so sooo many others!! Cannot thank Marianne, Melissa, the amazing chefs and all of Andreotti's staff enough for making our wedding day so fantastic. What a professional, fun, hardworking group A!!”

“Jill truly is THAT girl! From her keen eye for detail to incredible patience and personalization, from the start we knew our experience was going to be top notch. Jill worked with us to create a menu that spoke to all of our childhood favorites and tastes from home that had all of our guests watering at at the mouth, and some even bonding over what some of the dishes meant to us and our families. As a Miami native and Italian American (respectively), we wanted the food to touch on our love of Latin and Italian food, which Jill touched on perfectly (especially with the meatballs and empanadas!). From day 1, Jill was truly Team Shelby and Jordan, and for that we could not be more grateful.”

Uncommon Unions

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

Uncommon Unions started as a shift in how I wanted to cook and share food. I’ve spent years working in kitchens, and over time I realized what stuck with people wasn’t the most complicated dish. It was the one that felt thoughtful, well made, and actually enjoyable to eat. That’s what I try to bring into everything I do now. Cooking in a way that feels intentional, a little different, but still grounded and approachable. A lot of what I care about is how people experience food together. The energy around it, the way it brings people in, the moments it creates. That’s really what Uncommon Unions is built on.

“From our first conversation with Chef Jacob at Uncommon Unions, we knew we were in good hands. His communication was clear and educational—he took time to understand what we wanted and tailored everything to fit our vision, not what we thought a wedding dinner should look like. Having someone guide us through both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day meant we could stop stressing about food and start enjoying our celebration. On the actual day, Chef Jacob and his team delivered exactly what we hoped for: locally sourced, high-end dishes that felt fresh and nothing like typical wedding fare. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good and FRESH the food was, and honestly, without a day of planner, having Uncommon Unions handle everything so smoothly was a huge relief. We're grateful for a vendor that made one of our biggest worries disappear.”

Of course the food was outrageously good with super unique choices (our appetizers included turkey and brie egg rolls and bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese to just name a few), but the start-to-finish support and care taken by Tori, Nina, and Patty put our mind at ease throughout the entire day. And that was so important to us. Tori helped us throughout the entire planning process make the decisions that suited us best, and was always there to hype up our choices. Nina ran the smoothest ship the day of the wedding. And Patty was incredible day-of, making sure we ate, drank, and were well taken care of. We wanted a fun party that felt uniquely us, and Summit helped us achieve that. We are so, so grateful, and hope to be able to work with them again in the future.”
