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.

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.

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!
