Awarded Best of Zola
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 :).

AMAZING!! Where to even begin- My fiance and I got married this August (2024) and since day one La Mila has been nothing but Professionally Perfect. The food was exquisite, the staff was phenomenal and every moment leading up to the wedding while working with La Mila was smooth and effortless. Though everyone was on par, we do have to give a special shout out to their OG, Sandy - Sandy was the most compassionate, patient, informative saving grace we have ever worked with in our lives. She is such a gift from God- I don't know how we would have done this wedding journey without her. She truly made this experience enjoyable and exciting!! Sandy felt like the sister I never had- guiding and comforting me through every step of the way. If you are looking for a stress-free, flawless wedding you must use La Mila !!

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Jillicious! My husband and I are major foodies so we knew we didn’t want to have standard wedding food at our reception. We started searching for wedding caterers that would work with us to customize the perfect menu for our wedding day. Jillicious did not disappoint! We worked with Chef Jill to put together the most delicious menu of both apps and main courses. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was. It honestly rivaled many of our favorite restaurants in NYC. In addition to the food, Chef Jill and her staff were amazing. They were so responsive throughout the whole wedding process and offered so many great recommendations. On the wedding day, the staff were very helpful with getting the rentals in order, setting up the tables, etc. We also had some guests thank us for how allergy conscious the wedding and staff were. We're so grateful to Jillicious for bringing our vision to life and couldn’t recommend them more! They truly contributed to an absolutely perfect wedding day!

After 29 successful years of serving South Jersey, Joe, Dory, Kevin, Tori, and Alysa are ready and eager to make your next event a culinary experience!

Tori, Nina, Dory, Patty, and the whole Summit crew made our day spectacular. 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.

The setup was smooth, her team was incredibly competent, and the bar was a major hit with the guests. While the food for this particular event was casual picnic fare, everything was served efficiently and on time. I've also had the pleasure of trying Renee's hors d'oeuvres at other events, and they were absolutely delicious - she's clearly a talented chef with a great sense for elevated flavors.

We are beyond grateful to Shore Catering for helping make our wedding day so special. From the first tasting to the final bite on our big day, everything was absolutely perfect! Working with Summer, Maria, Brian and the entire Shore Catering team was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Summer always took the time to answer all of our (many!) questions and never made us feel like an inconvenience or like we were being rushed, which meant the world to me. One of the things that impressed us most was how thoughtful and gracious the entire catering team was. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the care and attention they gave to every single guest was outstanding. We had several dietary restrictions to accommodate, including gluten-free, vegan, and a few food allergies, and they handled it all seamlessly. Every guest felt considered and taken care of, and no one had to miss out on an amazing meal. What meant the most to us was how the staff went out of their way to make sure my husband and I actually had time to eat during the whirlwind of the day. They personally brought us plates and checked in on us to ensure we were fed and hydrated — something that’s so easy to forget in all the chaos, but so important. We received so many compliments on the food, from the flavorful appetizers to the beautifully presented entrees and desserts. The entire team was professional, warm, and truly went above and beyond. If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers both exceptional food and heartfelt service, look no further. We can’t recommend Shore Catering enough!

Stuf'd

  • Starts at $65
  • Serves Avenel, NJ for additional fees

As a kid, Rebecca could be found in the kitchen cooking with either her Mom or Grandma. Traveling to Albany was always a treat, as her favorite dish to eat was Nan's French toast. While studying at NYU, Rebecca came up with the concept of STUF'D to fulfill the need for a savory French toast, as it was yet to be done. She decided to start the business as a food truck in 2016, as a way to keep her brand more mobile. Since then, we have evolved into a full-service catering company, offering a variety of sandwiches, sliders, and cocktail bites, and serving events that range from weddings and birthday parties to large-scale events!

There are so many great things to say about Rebecca and the entire crew at Stuf’d. Stuf’d catered our wedding in Highland, NY, and they were absolutely amazing. First and foremost, the food was delicious—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it and loved the wide variety of sliders and appetizers. The entire team at our wedding was incredibly friendly, helpful, and even joined us on the dance floor — such a blast! From day one, Rebecca was the most communicative, thorough, and responsive vendor I worked with. As a bride with a full plate, that level of support was beyond appreciated. She answered all of my questions, accommodated a few changes to the menu, and was truly a delight to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend Rebecca and the entire crew at Stuf’d for any of your catering needs. Many, many thanks!
