Chef’s Culinary Journey, never in my life have I had food this good. The food was out of this world, we loved the organic farm-to-chefs-to-plate concept. I am still getting calls from family members and friends stating that my wedding was the BEST wedding that they have ever been to. If I had to go back and re-plan my wedding, the first thing I would do is book Chef’s Culinary Journey again. They’ve been awesome collaborators and contributors in helping us realize our vision. Paul was amazing during the planning stages. Every member of the team was very responsive and helpful. And they did work within our budget. I absolutely would recommend them again and again

We booked the Culinary Curate for an intimate buffet style wedding celebration this summer. No rainy weather could have ruined the experience. Charmaine and her team made sure every guest had a wonderful time. From the early planning days of timely communication to clean up time following the event, Charmaine and her team’s execution was exemplary. Aside from delicious food, we were treated like family. Charmaine was assertive and professional when she needed to be as well as creative and accommodating at the time of the event. Thanks for such a memorable evening!

I was concerned that I ordered a large spread and we would have so much left over. It turns out it was mostly gone by the end of the night and it was the talk around the table. I went ahead and used them again after that for some work functions and they never disappoint.

We wanted our guests to have various choices, and that's exactly what we did with a flatbread pizza station, pasta station, taste of Philly station, and lettuce wrap stations. In addition to our dinner, the dessert parade that followed was even better! Our maitre'd Tori was also excellent and all of her staff made sure we had everything we needed!

foodwerx featuring Nicholas Caterers

Cherry Hill, NJ

  • Serves New Jersey

Established in 1998 by chef Nick Wall, foodwerx is the premier catering and event-production company in South Jersey and Philadelphia. Delicious food is Nick Wall’s passion; creativity, flawless execution and exceptional attention to detail are his hallmarks—and the foundation of foodwerx. We use only the finest and freshest ingredients to create delectable offerings served up with an added ‘wow’ factor. We are 100 percent committed to impeccable service. Whether you’re planning a wedding, bar mitzvah, sweet sixteen, graduation party, special birthday, anniversary, shower or a corporate event, foodwerx will meet your highest standards.

Alyssa and the team at Foodwerx could NOT have been more helpful in my desperate time of need. My husband and I decided to postpone our original big wedding plans for a small, intimate wedding in my parents backyard. Having worked professionally with Foodwerx in the past, I reached out to Alyssa; not only did they create a custom menu (matching exactly what we had originally planned), but at great pricing. She offered to handle all of the rentals as well, but I decided to do that on my own. I’m not going to lie, I was not very excited for this plan and stressing out every day. Little did I know, it was exactly what I wanted. The food was amazing (if you are debating on getting crab cakes... just do it, they were incredible), the displays were amazing, and the service was even better! A huge thank you to Alyssa, Nick, and the Foodwerx team for making our wedding the most perfect day!! :)

Krave Events Caterer 

5.0

Newton, NJ
  • Serves New Jersey

We are all about our handcrafted kitchen. From soups to dressings, sauces to desserts, we handcraft menus bringing together flavor and culture, in recipes, old and new. We are passionately committed to offering the freshest ingredients available and love to source local when our season allows.

We LOVED working with Krave so much for so many reasons. We got married at the Conservatory at Sussex County Fairgrounds and they do most of the weddings there, and the whole day went so smoothly. First – the food is AMAZING. You get so many options and such a variety of food. Everything was so delicious. When we went for our tasting, we were blown away by how good everything was. We loved that they have the more traditional options, as well as options that are more unique. Everything we tasted was so good and they were so helpful with recommendations. The cakes are so delicious also! We heard so many compliments from all of our guests about how the amount of food was perfect and how delicious everything was. Second – the service leading up to the wedding. They really helped us make decisions about honestly everything. They gave suggestions for the amount of alcohol to order for our guest list, recommended florists for the look we were going for, and helped us decide on timeline for the cocktail hour and reception. They also provide the linens and we rented pillar candles and the glasses from them. We had multiple calls before the wedding which were informative and really got us excited rather than stressed, because we knew we were working with an expert vendor who also really cared about our vision for the day and how the day went. Finally – the wedding day itself. Kate is so amazing to have with you on the day of your wedding. She is so energetic and kind. The team set up the rooms so beautifully and watching it all come together was breathtaking. She was always making sure both us and our parents had drinks, she made sure that we ate and brought us so much cocktail hour food to the bridal suite after the ceremony so we could just have a moment alone and try everything. They also packed up food for us to bring back with us so we could try everything if we didn’t get a chance to, which was so helpful because we didn’t have to worry about grocery shopping when we got back home. I am a very anxious person so I barely ate that day, so I was so grateful to get to try everything. I was so appreciative of her coming to get us to make sure we ate because I probably wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for her. They also brought fruit and snacks to us while we were in the bridal suite. Kate was also working with our day-of coordinator through the Conservatory and the DJ and MC to make sure everything was running smoothly based on our conversations with them and that was so helpful, too – we really felt like we didn’t have to worry about anything that day because they had such great communication. Finally, all of the staff was so wonderful. They always made sure we had what we needed, and our guests told us afterwards that all of the staff was very positive and kind and really went above and beyond. The value you get from working with Krave is so high – not only delicious food, but an ally along the way and a stress-free wedding day!

Shore Catering

Brick, NJ
  • Serves New Jersey

5-Star Full-Service Catering from casual to elegant for all occasions since 1988. We offer packages for all occasions such as wedding receptions, lobster clambakes, bbq picnics, beach parties, 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, private tastings 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. Shore Catering can help make your event a memorable occasion.

When we tasted the food we knew that our guests would be happy with our selection of shore catering (and we were right! We recieved many compliments on the dinner and hors d'oeuvres). What we DIDN'T realize is that we were receiving more than just a catering service- we were receiving what felt like a warm welcome into a family business that took some of the stress out of the wedding planning process! Shore was the only caterer we encountered that was willing to work within our budget, and individually tailor a package to meet our needs, allowing us to feel comfortable financially without feeling like we were sacrificing ANY of the quality and elegance that we wanted for our wedding! Moreover, on the day of our wedding, summer took care of us as though we were her oldest friends, meeting us with so much genuine warmth and a contagious smile. She made sure we were able to actually eat and drink (which so many of our friends told us would be difficult to do at our wedding!) and kept the vibe HIGH even in spite of pouring rain and floods on the day of the event! We wish we could get married again and again and we would hire Shore Catering every single time!! I HIGHLY recommend Shore Catering to any bride and groom who want all of the quality with none of the stress!

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Jillicious! My husband and I are major foodies so we knew we didn’t want to have standard wedding food at our reception. 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!
