  • Serves Darien, CT

Odeen's Catering Company is a family-owned, open-fire catering specialist serving couples throughout Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. We create elevated off-site wedding experiences with restaurant-quality cuisine, personalized service, and meticulous attention to detail. From custom menu development and private tastings to curated bar packages, event timeline planning, staffing coordination, and seamless collaboration with planners and venues, we provide a comprehensive catering experience designed to make your wedding day effortless and unforgettable.

Odeen’s Catering delivered a wedding dining experience that genuinely rivaled some of the best restaurants we’ve been to. The quality of the food was exceptional from start to finish — not just “great for a wedding,” but truly outstanding on its own merits. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully executed. The ingredients tasted fresh, the flavors were balanced and elevated, and everything was served at the perfect temperature — something that’s incredibly hard to achieve at scale. From the cocktail hour through dinner, there wasn’t a single dish that didn’t impress. What stood out most was the consistency. Whether you were one of the first tables served or the last, the quality never dipped. That level of precision and care is rare in catering, and it did not go unnoticed by our guests — many of whom are serious food lovers and couldn’t stop talking about the meal. Beyond the food, the service was seamless and professional, but it was the culinary experience that truly set Odeen’s apart. If food is a priority for your event, you will be in exceptionally good hands with this team.

They provided so much between the service and the linens and easy bar package. Everyone raved and continues to rave about the food, especially the salmon and passed appetizers.

ONTHEMARC Events 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Serves Darien, CT

ONTHEMARC is a contemporary, full-service caterer with extensive experience in off-site catered events. The culinary experience is at the heart of everything we do. We handle every detail to bring your vision to life —from custom menus and logistics to staffing and artful presentation—creating an event where you and your guests feel truly celebrated.

As soon as we visited On the Marc for our food tasting, we knew that the food would be fantastic—and more on that in a minute—but OTM really set itself apart with the service. They greeted our guests with flavored waters when they arrived (hugely helpful for a mid-summer wedding), had servers ready with drinks and food as soon as cocktail hour started, prepared an appetizer platter for a quick private moment as newlyweds, and much much more. A few things stick out over all though: first, the servers were so attentive that they realized a friend of mine was absolutely smashing one of the appetizers and kept bringing those to her (even learning to take the mint leaf off as she did). Second, they rolled with the punches as we realized we may have screwed up some food placards, accommodating our request to check with each guest to make sure we had it right. Third, they had servers march out all at the same time to bring courses during dinner services, a super-professional touch which gave the service a white-glove-service feel. The food was delicious, and everyone kept commenting on it (even on the dance floor where they brought desserts!!). Overall, the food was amazing, the only thing better than the food was the service, and we highly recommend OTM to anyone considering them!

The Crafted Cook 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Darien, CT
  • Offer

I’ve gained passion for crafting up a sharp cheese board and catching some sunshine! I grew up in a family where food was plentiful, the focal point of any gathering or celebration and knowing you would never leave hungry. My passion for food and the culture behind it began when I was 6, working in my family’s deli, and that’s when I learned why food was a necessity to a gathering, celebration or corporate event (no matter the guest count). Customers faces gleamed when they knew eggplant parm was a special, or could walk in and smell a fresh pot of sauce was being made. It's now my passion for my clients to be gleaming too.

The Crafted Cook was amazing! From start to finish, the communication to the food display was so great! We hired them for our private back yard wedding and can’t wait for future parties! We had a graze for 50 guests and there was absolutely nothing left! Months later, our guests still talk about our cocktail hour and how that was the star of the show! Run, don’t walk, to book them for any of your future parties or events! Thank you for making our day so special!

The dishes were absolutely delicious and looked stunning on the plate, with flavors and presentations we'd never seen at a wedding before. Cat and her team went above and beyond to make our day special, handling details we didn't even think to ask about. We can't recommend them enough to couples looking for caterers who genuinely care about their guests.

San Martino: Italian Street Food Stations (Pasta, Pizza, Mozzarella, Gelato)

  • Serves Darien, CT

** Expanded offerings now include authentic Neapolitan Pizza, LIVE Mozzarella Bar, & Artisanal Gelato Cart ** When you book San Martino, you will experience authentic Italian cuisine.📍 Now servicing: NY, NJ, & CT

San Martino was a wonderful addition to our engagement party. Multiple guests raved about the pasta served, particularly the Paccheri ai Frutti di Mare (which was custom-made for us after inquiring since it is our favorite dish). The Pentolo pan was a showstopper and a huge hit - I've never seen anything like it. It made for some memorable photos and a talking point amongst family & friends. The chef was not shy when loading up our bowls with pasta, which was served right out of the huge pasta pan. Loved that the chef was a native of Italy and spoke the language, which made the evening feel genuinely and authentically Italian. We chatted about my family's Italian roots and shared our experiences and travels in Italy. All in all, the vibes were immaculate, the food was fantastic, and the presentation was stunning. Would definitely use San Martino again, and would certainly recommend them to others!

Joint Venture 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Starts at $20,000
  • Serves Darien, CT

Danny has spent the past dozen years working in kitchens around New York City and abroad. After attending the French Culinary Institute, Danny worked at Momofuku Ko, Isa, Estela, and Cabane à Sucre Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal. In 2015, Danny founded Joint Venture as a way to explore how food can bring people together beyond the confines of a restaurant’s four walls. JV is a departure from and reaction to the kitchens of his past. It's about collaborating with friends, reconnecting with nature, and working directly with farmers and producers. JV creates menus that are of the season and expressive of their surroundings. JV is ever-evolving.

Awarded Best of Zola
Joint Venture cooked some of the best food of our lives for our wedding of 135 people last year in the Catskills. Danny somehow managed to create a menu that was comforting and indulgent, yet nourishing. I'm a musician who's played hundreds of weddings and I've never experienced a caterer close to Joint Venture's level. He also focuses on seasonal ingredients and sustainable farming practices-- even growing some of the food for the meal himself. We couldn't recommend Joint Venture more to anyone looking for a transcendent catering experience that's also down-to-earth (literally).
