We had a great experience working with Chef Ellen. Not only did she do an amazing job on the food, she also helped with furniture rentals and staffing as well. She was extremely accommodating and worked with us to create some unique dishes based on my wife and I’s background which she absolutely nailed.

We started searching for wedding caterers that would work with us to customize the perfect menu for our wedding day. Jillicious did not disappoint! We worked with Chef Jill to put together the most delicious menu of both apps and main courses. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was. It honestly rivaled many of our favorite restaurants in NYC. In addition to the food, Chef Jill and her staff were amazing. They were so responsive throughout the whole wedding process and offered so many great recommendations. On the wedding day, the staff were very helpful with getting the rentals in order, setting up the tables, etc. We also had some guests thank us for how allergy conscious the wedding and staff were. We're so grateful to Jillicious for bringing our vision to life and couldn’t recommend them more! They truly contributed to an absolutely perfect wedding day!

Sweet Basil catered our wedding in September and we were thrilled with them. The food and service were both excellent. My husband and I are both foodies so it was important for us to find a catering company with great food. We found them on-line based on their great reviews. Amy was very easy to work with, and it was clear from the start that the team was interested and excited about creating a menu that was not your standard wedding fare. Our day went off seamlessly and their staff is so nice and had great energy. I'd definitely recommend Sweet Basil

Stuf'd 

5.0

  • Starts at $65
  • Serves Merrick, NY 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!

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!

HOW IT ALL BEGAN As a child the best times were our Family Gatherings.

My first jobs were working at a bakery, restaurant, catering company and butcher shop. In 1982 I started my business AAA Royal Catering. Today 39 years later with the help of my wife, children and dedicated staff we continue to bring Long Island the best in food and service. We welcome the opportunity to serve you.

AAA Royal Catering catered my wedding January 31, 2024. Mr Tony Responded to my inquiry promptly with a full breakdown of each item I requested and the price. He gave me great advice on what I would need based upon the number of guests. They arrived on time, the food was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Everyone was asking where I got the food. AAA Royals professionalism is commendable and very cost effective. Thank you AAA Royal for making my special day even more memorable.
