Shore Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Manahawkin, NJ

We offer packages for all occasions such as wedding receptions, rehearsal dinner, welcome parties, after-wedding brunch, clambakes, showers, anniversaries, and so much more. Our team will assist you from start to finish, planning your menu, coordinating rentals, linen colors, floorplans, timelines, vendor referrals, and so much more. We bring our catering services to all corners of New Jersey and will also assist you in trying to find the perfect venue to suit your event's needs.

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!

We were then ushered into a cozy, intimate setting for a five-course meal that surpassed all expectations. Christiann's culinary skills were truly impressive; each dish was expertly prepared and showcased fresh, local ingredients. What stood out the most was her attention to detail. From the thoughtfully curated cocktails to the perfectly matched wine pairings, every aspect of the meal was meticulously planned. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it easy to relax and enjoy the company.

Summit Catering

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves Manahawkin, NJ

Summit Catering officially opened in 1991. The owner built this small family business from the ground up. In 1998, they welcomed their first child with three more to follow. They work alongside Joe and Dory to help this family business thrive. In 2018, Summit welcomes Chef Kevin to their team to work alongside Joe. Our event planners, Alysa and Tori, will be with you from booking to executing your wedding day. They work 24/7 to ensure you a stress-free wedding planning experience. 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.

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.

Choosing Italiana Foods to cater our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the very first consultation, their team was not only professional and organized, but also incredibly warm and passionate about creating something truly special for us. They worked closely with us to design the perfect menu one that felt elegant, meaningful, and deeply personal. The food? Absolutely unforgettable.

This review is a tad long so bear with me. I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024. While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team. I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends. Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely. In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her. Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert. We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated. Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed. Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism. *I wish I took pictures.

Stuf'd

  • Starts at $65
  • Serves Manahawkin, 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.
