Excellent experience working with JAN for our wedding. Nick was such a star—so accommodating, professional, and communicative. The food was also wildly good, especially for a 200 person wedding. Guests were raving.

      New York Food Truck Association 

      5.0

      New York, NY

        The New York Food Truck Association, NYFTA, is a collection of New York’s top street food vendors: a diverse, vetted group of culinary professionals who operate in the five boroughs of NYC, Long Island, and Westchester. We believe that food brings people together, which is why we are committed to connecting New Yorkers to our members for unique food truck catering experiences.

        The New York Food Truck Association was an exceptional choice for our wedding catering. Their communication style was easy, precise, helpful, and professional from the very beginning. The quality of their work and value was simply outstanding - the food they served was delicious, and they were punctual and well-organized throughout the event. They were extremely willing to adjust to some schedule changes as the venue needed an earlier start, and they provided the necessary staffing to allow me to have the food truck outside while also serving the truck food indoors. I only provided my event coordinator with the type of food I was looking for, and he was able to give me a great variety of choices. The truck that was selected arrived on time, the staff were beyond kind, and they even allowed my husband and I to take photos in the vehicle! Overall, the New York Food Truck Association went above and beyond to make our wedding day a huge success.

        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

        Abigail Kirsch Catering 

        5.0

        New York, 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.

          Abigail Kirsch is expert at what they do. They are not just a venue or a caterer, they are trustworthy partners who do not miss a beat, provide so much value to their couples and clients, and are truly amazing people. You'll miss them after the wedding! What struck me most, in all the quotes I've seen whether for work or my own wedding, Abigail Kirsch makes it easy for you. Their costs make sense, there are no fees to be figured out on your own, they are clear and diligent from the get-go and through to the very end.

Alex has amazing taste and styling skills when it comes to design details. She is extremely professional to work with and her team is super friendly and reliable. AD Catering is truly unique from any catering and planning service I have ever worked with before and anyone would be so lucky to work with them!!

          Red Oyster USA 

          5.0

          New York, NY

            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!

              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!

              About wedding caterers in New York, NY

              How much do catering services usually cost in New York, NY?

              Full service catering packages range from $100 to $18,000 and average around $1,500.

              Which are the most popular caterers in New York, NY?

              Some of the most popular caterers in this area include Infuse Catering & Events, Insatiable Eats Catering and JPO Concepts | Catering.

              Do catering packages include serving staff?

              Yes! 40% of packages in New York, NY include serving staff, such as servers and bussers. Many others also include rental coordination, just ask before you book!

              Can caterers in New York, NY accommodate specialized diets?

              They can! 18 offer kosher services and 64 offer vegetarian packages. You can search on Zola for caterers who can accommodate nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, halal and vegan diets as well!

              Are tastings available before booking a wedding caterer?

              Who wouldn't jump at the chance for a sneak peek—or better yet, a sneak taste—of their wedding menu? Most wedding caterers in NYC know that the way to a couple's heart is through their stomach, and they stand ready to put their best plate forward. But do check in with your caterer about how they handle tastings—some offer them before you book (often for an additional fee), while others include full course sit down tastings of their menu offerings for you to select from after you’ve signed a contract.

              What's included in the catering package price in New York City?

              Let’s start with the most important part - the food. Typically, appetizers and a full meal are included in a wedding catering package (and sometimes even the cake!), but costs depend on whether you’re looking for passed hors d'oeuvres and a seated meal with individual entrees, or more of a buffet or family-style setup. The catering package often comes with the essentials, too - think tables, chairs, linens, silverware, and a professional staff ready to cater to you and your guests’ every need. That said, there are a wide variety of catering options available, so it's best to get the lowdown from your caterer directly. Will there be extra charges for setup and takedown? How about a corkage fee? Any chance of a complimentary food truck at midnight? Ask away, because chances are the right caterer will be able to work with you and your budget to achieve your dream culinary vision for your big day.

              How far in advance do I need to finalize the menu with my caterer?

              Generally, New York City caterers appreciate a final menu selection several months in advance of your wedding, and a final headcount several weeks in advance. Why? It's all about ensuring perfection, from procuring the freshest ingredients to coordinating the kitchen staff to ensure your menu is a showstopper.
