Chef Julienne 

5.0

  • Starts at $534
  • Serves Hillside, NJ

Chef Julienne delivers the elegance and creativity of fine dining in a way that feels warm, personalized, and inviting, not exclusive or out of reach. Our cuisine is elevated, artfully plated, and thoughtfully seasonal, but always rooted in hospitality. We’re more than caterers, we create experiences. We think about how the food will feel at your table, not just how it tastes. That’s what leaves an impression. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter catering. Every menu is built around your event and your taste. Our offerings are always flexible and always beautifully executed. We make gourmet accessible and curated to you.

From the moment we first connected with Chef Julienne, their communication was always available, quick to respond, and filled with kindness. The quality of their work was truly top-notch - the food was delicious, the presentation was detailed and curated to perfection. They thought of everything, allowing me to fully enjoy our special day without a single worry. I'm so glad I connected with them about adding a send-off brunch for our family and friends. It was a gorgeous, economical way for everyone to reconnect one last time before heading home, and the perfect end to our wedding weekend.

Chef SweetLadyR 

5.0

  • Starts at $40
  • Serves Hillside, NJ

I am a Jersey City native with Indo-Caribbean roots, currently residing in Bayonne NJ. I found my passion for cooking in my mother’s kitchen, where I learn to create flavors that would leave you wanting more. After my mother passed away when I was 20, I took on the responsibility of caring for my younger sisters, keeping her spirit alive through her recipes. In 2017, my culinary journey took a significant step forward when I joined Liberty House Restaurant, where I developed a passion for fine dining and large-scale catering. I honed my skills in menu creation and banquet hosting.

ChefSweetladyR can do it all, from private daily meals to large scale catering events, and in any cuisine or fusion you can think of. Highly recommended for any occasion

Finding a way to bring my carnivore family into my to vegetarian/vegan new family was smooth sailing with GCC. Everyone under the sun was happy.

Purslane 

5.0

  • Serves Hillside, NJ

Purslane is part of The Oberon Group, a Brooklyn neighborhood-focused restaurant group with a commitment to sustainability. We started Purslane in 2012 as a way to serve our community outside of our restaurants. Sustainability wasn’t part of our origin story, but we realized we had an opportunity to make a difference in one of the most wasteful industries out there. We are seasoned experts in executing corporate events of all sizes, ranging from galas and banquets, to private dinners, to multi-day conferences for hundreds of guests, to weekly lunch drop-offs for your whole office.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Purslane, and especially with Michaela and Justin, was a highlight of our wedding planning, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had such excellent partners in producing our event. The staff, especially Michaela and Justin, are responsive, friendly, accommodating, and professional; the space is gorgeous and beautifully maintained and operated; the food and drink were bountiful and delicious, and the service rivaled any of New York's fine restaurants. Best of all, the process of collaborating to make our wedding happen was easy and fun, and Michaela and Justin made us, the nervous engaged couple with a million things to manage, very confident that our day would not just go as planned, but would be a beautiful success. And indeed it was! Of all the people we worked with. Michaela and Justin deserve special mention. They are excellent communicators, responsive to the million questions and people that wedding planning entails. They are proactive collaborators, laying out a clear process and schedule not just for the day, but for the process of working to plan it. They provided useful, detailed documentation at every step of the way, including a very helpful list of recommended vendors. Every meeting with them was fun and friendly, but also productive, punctual and a good use of time. And of course, the food and wine tastings were delicious. Michaela and Justin were so helpful in giving us a sense of how the venue would perform in a situation we wouldn't get to experience until the day itself. They guided us expertly, making shrewd suggestions we might not have considered ("Since you have an open bar, we recommend choosing a heavier vegetarian entree.") My wife and I had a unique vision for our event, and these two not only assured us that it was possible, they worked with the park to accommodate myriad details, even down to the selection of lightbulbs. It's no exaggeration to say that without their help, the event would not have had the specific atmosphere we imagined, nor would it have been the roaring success that it was. All the confidence they inspired along the way paid off on the day, when Michaela, Justin, and their staff were a machine. The service was prompt, helpful, and invisible; the food was great, not losing too much in the translation from tasting to event; the wedding ran perfectly smoothly, with Purslane on top of the schedule, keeping the momentum of the night alive as they moved tables, served each course, operated the bars, and so on with perfect cadence. We are so, so grateful to Purslane for making our wedding a true dream come to life. Our only regret is not responding sooner to their lovely post-wedding thank you note, and for taking so long to write this review! To you recently-engageds with so many decisions to make, let me help you with this one: your search is over; just hire Purslane.

La Mila Catering & Events

  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Hillside, NJ

Starting their careers in the restaurant and food industry, Elie & Heidi Hanna decided to utilize their unique experiences and create their own vision of a full service event company. La Mila is named after their daughter, Milana, who provides them with limitless inspiration and motivation.

Awarded Best of Zola
La Mila Catering & Events was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding in August. From our very first conversation, their team impressed us with their responsiveness, compassion, and genuine desire to bring our vision to life. During the tasting, we got to experience the true heart and craftsmanship behind their food — every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared. On the wedding day, La Mila exceeded every expectation. The cocktail hour was a huge hit — guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. The team went above and beyond to personalize our menu, even incorporating Jamaican beef patties for the first time, which was such a meaningful and crowd-pleasing touch. Despite our large guest count, the food was abundant, fresh, and perfectly executed throughout the entire evening. La Mila didn’t just cater our wedding — they helped create an unforgettable experience. We are endlessly grateful for their professionalism, warmth, and incredible food. We truly could not have asked for a better catering team to help make our wedding day so special.

Plate and Graze Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Hillside, NJ

As a husband-and-wife team, we know firsthand the power of love and shared experiences. Our story began when we were just eight years old—two kids from the same town and school. Years later, when we reconnected, we knew instantly we were destined to be together. Through our journey, we discovered that our shared passions for food, cooking, events, and styling were meant to be combined. With a unique blend of skills and expertise, we’re dedicated to creating memorable experiences that celebrate every moment. We’re excited to be part of your story—let’s make something amazing together!

From the moment I had my first call with Adrienne, I knew we had found the right caterer! She has such passion and love for what she does, and I immediately felt comfortable and in great hands. Adrienne and Randy’s enthusiasm and dedication to bringing our vision to life were evident every step of the way. They were incredibly responsive, offering creative ideas and making sure every detail was perfect. The tiramisu was, hands down, the best we’ve ever had, and the presentation was beyond impressive. It wasn’t just the quality of the food that blew us away, but the whole experience working with their amazing team. Their commitment to making everything just right truly elevated the event, and we couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience. We absolutely loved working with Adrienne, Randy, and their team. I would absolutely recommend them!

Abigail Kirsch Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Hillside, NJ

The seeds of the business go back to the 1960s when Abigail started a cooking school from the basement of her home. Her entrepreneurial spirit and early success drove her to quickly expand the school to a retail outlet, and few years later, her husband, Bob, sold his company to join her in launching the catering business. Their son, Jim, joined the couple in 1980 and has been running the business with Partner & Chef Alison Awerbuch since the early 2000s. Through the years, the DNA of Abigail Kirsch has never changed. Rooted in the belief that, “We are only as good as our last event,” its culture centers on creativity, planning and flawless execution. The company’s mission is to execute events in which the client feels like a guest and guests feel as though they are in someone’s home.

Don't consider Abigail Kirsch. Book your wedding at Abigail Kirsch! From beginning to end it was such a wonderful experience! Our Event Coordinator was absolutely amazing. He made it so easy for us to enjoy our day, knowing that he would take care of everything. The venue was gorgeous, the service impeccable, the food outstanding, the presentation beautiful, the staff were all friendly and welcoming. What more could you ask for? We would highly recommend having your wedding at an Abigail Kirsch property. You will be in great hands!

We can't rave about Pheasant Catering enough! They catered our wedding and we were truly blown away, as were our 200 guests. We got so many compliments about the food, especially the harvest table. We had a late night kebab station and passed desserts, which were all delicious. The staff is the best of the best. Everyone was so kind and helpful, especially for allergies and dietary needs. They were so easy to work with from start to finish, and made planning easy and fun. Thank you for making everything so organized and seamless!

  • Starts at $40
  • Serves Hillside, NJ

Have you ever wanted catered food that reminded you of home? Our chef puts in extra effort for you to enjoy the taste presentation & comfort of our food! We pride ourselves in making the menu tailored to our clients needs while being affordable and food richly packed in flavor.

The Brooklyn Kitchen Catering team was an absolute dream to work with for our September 2025 wedding! From our first call to the wedding day, we had nothing short of a pleasant experience. The team was very easy to communicate with and was quick to make adjustments to our contract as needed. We did a tasting, which they delivered to our home (with complementary wine!), and once we tasted the food, it was a no-brainer choice to book them to cater our wedding. From the cocktail hour to our wedding buffet, the food was so flavorful and delicious. The team also provided our bar service, which went very smoothly. They were very accommodating to requests and were also very sweet in person on the day. We would definitely recommend booking this team for your next event!

Red Oyster USA 

5.0

  • Serves Hillside, NJ

We are a boutique catering business, specialized in Oystertaining people. Our Oystertainers open fresh oysters on the spot while entertaining your guests. The oysters come from carefully selected oysterfarms in the Northern East coast of US/Canada. With their outgoing personality, our Oystertainers know how to persuade almost anybody to eat oysters. The founder, Matijn Wijn, started the company 20 years ago in the Netherlands. He is driven by a passion for oysters and when he introduced Oystertainment® it was an overnight success. We also run oyster bars at world leading art fairs like Art Basel and TEFAF. Let's Oystertain you!

If you have the opportunity to book Red Oyster USA for your event you 100% should! First off the booking experience was above and beyond with customer service, answering all of my questions promptly and with ease. My husband and I renewed our vows on a rooftop in New York City December 30. My husband and a lot of our guests enjoy oysters so I thought this would be the perfect addition to our reception! We had the pleasure of having Sophia as our Oystertainer for the evening. She was AMAZING!!! She was extremely friendly and helpful! I was not much of an oyster person before, but she had me try them a couple of different ways and I did find one that actually worked really well for me. If it wasn’t for her knowledge and guiding I probably would’ve never tried them and now I am a fan! The Oystertainer was really another amazing staple to our evening and I am so glad we were able to book them. I would book them each time I had an event if I was given the opportunity, I highly suggest you do the same!!!! You won’t regret it!!! Now I will have to wait until they expand to Oklahoma (hint,hint) to book again!

Stuf'd 

5.0

  • Starts at $65
  • Serves Hillside, 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!

Stuf'd really went the extra mile to make our wedding special. The team provided thorough, individualized attention every step of the way, allowing us to feel at ease knowing the food would be exactly what we were hoping for. They even came to view the space well in advance of the wedding to make sure the day would run smoothly. Our guests could not stop raving about the quality of food, which struck a perfect balance between casual and formal. We're very grateful to have worked with such a talented and dedicated catering team.

We found The Backyard Bar Co through a vendor recommendation and were so glad we did! Brittany and Candice were responsive to our inquiry and so easy to talk with. Brittany helped put us at ease and from our first phone consultation we knew we were in good hands but could not have imagined just how wonderful it was to work with them. Brittany and Candice are both wonderfully personable yet also highly knowledgeable and professional. They worked with us through phone calls, email and a tasting night to create a bar menu that let our tastes and interests shine through. The menu also brought their considerable experience and love every step of the way using top notch ingredients including homemade lavender simple syrup, in house dried citrus garnishes, luxardo cherries and environmentally considerate serving ware. We had a group chat going the week of the wedding that helped us feel excited and cared for on our day. There were a lot of last minute headaches that we had to sort through and these ladies were joy and sanity in a head spinning time. Weeks after, many guests are still raving about how sweet they both were and what awesome drinks they made. They truly helped make our wedding day the best it could be.
