Abigail Kirsch Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Thanks to Tracy & George and their staffing team, our wedding day was far beyond what we ever dreamt of!!!! I will rewind back to when I first emailed Tracy about our wedding catering inquiry. She was super responsive and able to get us in for a tasting ASAP. We instantly were drawn to Platinum Party Planners because they offered a variety of catering packages and we were able to pick one that suited our budget. A lot of other caterers were firm with their pricing which is stressful! During the food tasting, Tracy sat with us to discuss our wedding day vision and took thorough notes while George cooked & served us the food. Because I did not have a "day of" planner to setup all my DIYs/decor, she said not to worry and her team would handle it (ummm AMAZING!!!!!!). At the tasting, we were blown away not only by the taste of everything, but the gorgeous plating! Everything was absolutely beautiful and screamed high end, even with our limited budget. We had our wedding at RGNY Riverhead and initially they wanted us to choose a caterer from their exclusive list. Tracy went out of her way to meet with the managers/staff at RGNY and thanks to her high level of professionalism and expertise, they allowed us to proceed with using Platinum at our caterer!!! Prior to the wedding, Platinum assembled a whole timeline/order of events for our wedding day (with my approval of course!). Fast forward to our wedding day, Tracy NAILED our decor instructions, food was delicious, and the staff was awesome!! Platinum also made up menu cards for each seat, UNREAL!! Tracy only approached me ONE time the whole wedding day and it was only to say hi and congratulations!! This showed me she had everything under control and didn't need my input on anything. Once the reception ended, the team thoroughly cleaned up and took care of disposing all the garbage. All this to say, I truly could not thank Platinum Party Planners enough. Tracy & George went above and BEYOND to make me the happiest and most stress-free bride in the world. I will forever look back on that day as the happiest day of my life. Love you guys, you are absolute PROS!!!!

Purslane 

5.0

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

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 Manhattan, NY

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.

We want you and your guests to be impressed, well-fed and happy. We are serious about good food, but principally, what we like to do is work hard to produce a wonderful experience and fabulous memories for you, your family and friends.

Chef Aaron and the Night Kitchen team were an absolute dream to work with. We had a fully plant-based wedding, and they went above and beyond to create a delicious, beautifully designed menu that exceeded our expectations. It was important to us to impress our guests and show them how stunning and flavorful vegan food can be and Night Kitchen delivered. The menu was incredibly creative and thoughtful, and every dish felt intentional. From the seamless communication with the team to the wonderful tasting experiences, every step of the process was a pleasure. Our guests were blown away by the food—months later, we’re still hearing how much they loved it. We can’t recommend Night Kitchen highly enough!

Steven Brown Caterers 

5.0

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Serving the New York area since 1991, Steven Brown Caterers provides unmatched creative cuisine, professional service and exceptional value. Our individual approach means that our couples receive the personalized and dedicated touch they deserve for their big day! Our experienced team of event planners are extremely passionate about their work. Attentive and precise, they will make your vision, big, or small into a reality.

“In my position as the assistant to the Chairman & Founder of a Fortune 1000 company, Steven Brown Caterers is the only caterer we use. Over the years the entire company from the chefs to the wait staff, to the management have become so much more than co-workers. I count them all as friends. So, when I married Frank in 2013, there was no question about who would be coming to spoil me on that special day. The food has always been the best in the city, but food is different things to different people, so I was anxious to see if my guests enjoyed it as much as I always have. That question was answered when half of them left clutching their contact details in hand. The other half called or e-mailed later to ask me for their contact details. 😉 Of course, the food was not the only thing that went right. Everything. Went right. From the table and tabletop rentals to the wait staff doing their usual magic by making every single guest feel as if they were the only person at the party. I’m not exaggerating when I say they got as many compliments as the bride, and nothing made me happier. Peace of mind on your wedding day is a luxury not many have, but we had it and we owe that to Steven Brown Caterers.”

Stuf'd 

5.0

  • Starts at $65
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

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!

There are so many great things to say about Rebecca and the entire crew at Stuf’d. Stuf’d catered our wedding in Highland, NY, and they were absolutely amazing. First and foremost, the food was delicious—our guests couldn’t stop raving about it and loved the wide variety of sliders and appetizers. The entire team at our wedding was incredibly friendly, helpful, and even joined us on the dance floor — such a blast! From day one, Rebecca was the most communicative, thorough, and responsive vendor I worked with. As a bride with a full plate, that level of support was beyond appreciated. She answered all of my questions, accommodated a few changes to the menu, and was truly a delight to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend Rebecca and the entire crew at Stuf’d for any of your catering needs. Many, many thanks!

We are committed to creating an awesome place to work while taking great care of each other, our partners and our guests.

Working with Evalyn, Cortney, and the team at Dish was a truly incomparable experience! I had the pleasure of getting to know Dish a few years back at my first job and had told my contact at the time, Bonnie, that I would definitely be back when it was time for me to host my big event - my wedding. After reconnecting with the Dish team, in particular speaking with Evalyn, we couldn't have felt more confident that it was the right fit for our big day. From the personalized menu, to the in house tasting, and the amazing day of coordinator, Cortney, the most important and expensive party we ever threw (and likely ever will) was in the best hands. When any changes or adjustments came up the team was eager to help make our vision come to life. A few weeks before when I wanted to do another itinerary run through, Cortney, was not just game, but so enthusiastic and supportive. As small things came up day of, Evalyn and Cortney were on it and as we were packing up, the whole Dish team helped us pack up and carry out our numerous flower arrangements. We truly couldn't have pulled this off without Dish and are so grateful for their partnership. Thank you, Dish!
