“Odeen’s Catering absolutely knocked it out of the park for our wedding. We had high expectations going in, and somehow they still managed to exceed them. From the start, they were easy to work with, flexible, and genuinely invested in making everything exactly how we wanted it. But the real magic happened on the wedding day — the food was unreal. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Multiple people told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had (which says a lot!). Beyond the food, the entire team was incredible, especially Mary the event manager who quarterbacked the planning so ably. Everything ran so smoothly, the service was on point, and they handled all the behind-the-scenes details so we didn’t have to think about a thing. If you’re even considering Odeen’s, just do it. They made a huge impact on our day and delivered an experience that felt effortless, elevated, and genuinely special.”

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!”

“We could not have been happier with our experience with Shale Hill Events. My husband and I were fairly clueless at the start and Brianne immediately put us at ease and helped us plan out our wedding day, ensuring zero stress and a wonderful day. Brianne met with us several times to discuss food, timing, what she amd her team would need from our venue, and was very helpful working within our budget. On our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Brianne and her staff set up everything wonderfully and our guests absolutely loved the staff. The food was truly incredible!! I had multiple guests tell me it was the best food they ever had at a wedding, and we could not agree more! From the passed hors d-oeuvres all the way to the late night bites, the food was melt-in-your mouth delicious and we were so happy with how everything turned out. If you want amazing food, incredible service, and a stress-free day, I cannot recommended Brianne and the staff of Shale Hill Events highly enough!!”

  • Serves East Canaan, CT for additional fees

With more then 25 years experience we find that listening to every bride and or client describe what they want for their special day or event is what it takes to be successful. It's what you want not what we want. Creativity is a strong characteristic and I enjoy the final product. It's simple. When the clients are happy I know we were to their expectations and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

“Laura and her catering team did an absolutely incredible job for our wedding and they do so much more than just catering! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond. We had various phone calls in advance to be sure everything would run smoothly. I needed all the help I could get, and she was able to give advice and share her expertise with every aspect of the wedding. Not only did she help us stay organized for months, double-checking invoices and quantities along the way, but she also graciously prepared a special family recipe for the wedding dinner that meant so much to us. The food was absolutely incredible, her lobster rolls are a MUST HAVE. Guests have continued to bring them up weeks after the wedding. Laura’s staff during the wedding day were extremely professional to all guests. They made sure both myself and the groom had full dinner plates while we talked to guests, which was an amazing surprise. Her attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism made our day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to have had her be a part of it from the beginning.”

“To start let me say I've been in the food industry for a long time a good portion of that being in the carering/wedding industry, and coming from experience i knew how stressful planning a wedding would be. My wife and I decided to go without a planner and do it ourselves. I have known Georgio for many years and when it came time to plan the wedding there was no question on who I was having cater the event. I've always known him to be very adventurous and passionate about his craft but never to the extent that he generously showed my wife and I. Georgio and his team guided my wife and I through all stages of the process with ease and made us feel as comfortable as possible during the planning. Now the event itself was truly outstanding, he and his staff were so professional, hard working and meticulous. When it comes to a wedding your guest will forever remember two things the music and the food, now my music was absolute top notch the food stole the show. A family style feast was prepared for my guest and let me tell you I'm still getting calls and messages about the food. So to sum it all up LuShe'ann catering should be at the number one spot on your list for future events.”
