Chef Julienne 

5.0

  • Starts at $534
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

Chef Julienne delivers the elegance and creativity of fine dining in a way that feels warm, personalized, and inviting, not exclusive or out of reach. Our cuisine is elevated, artfully plated, and thoughtfully seasonal, but always rooted in hospitality. We’re more than caterers, we create experiences. We think about how the food will feel at your table, not just how it tastes. That’s what leaves an impression. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter catering. Every menu is built around your event and your taste. Our offerings are always flexible and always beautifully executed. We make gourmet accessible and curated to you.

Chef Julienne was a superb choice for the morning of my daughter's wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was communicative, honest, and responsive. They took care of everything, and their main focus was my daughter's happiness- I couldn't have asked for anything more. I booked Chef Julienne as a surprise for my daughter to make sure she had something to eat on the morning of her wedding, and they exceeded my expectations. The food was gorgeous, of true quality, and delicious. Most importantly, my daughter felt special throughout the entire process. Everything was beautifully executed, and we are so grateful to Chef Julienne for helping make her wedding morning even more special.

Chef SweetLadyR 

5.0

  • Starts at $40
  • Serves Oakland, NJ

I am a Jersey City native with Indo-Caribbean roots, currently residing in Bayonne NJ. I found my passion for cooking in my mother’s kitchen, where I learn to create flavors that would leave you wanting more. After my mother passed away when I was 20, I took on the responsibility of caring for my younger sisters, keeping her spirit alive through her recipes. In 2017, my culinary journey took a significant step forward when I joined Liberty House Restaurant, where I developed a passion for fine dining and large-scale catering. I honed my skills in menu creation and banquet hosting.

ChefSweetladyR can do it all, from private daily meals to large scale catering events, and in any cuisine or fusion you can think of. Highly recommended for any occasion

Purslane 

5.0

  • Serves Oakland, NJ

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
Purslane was a dream to work with, and we could not have imagined a more perfect caterer for our wedding. The food was to die for. So many of our guests told us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding—and we agree! Choosing all the food was so fun and easy, and our event manager at Purslane walked us through all our options, pointing out favorites and making accommodations to let us choose something off the standard family-style menu as well (highly recommend the short ribs with polenta!). We also had some dietary restrictions—one we were made aware of just two weeks before the wedding—and they ensured all guests had delicious options to meet all restrictions. All communication for our venue was done through Purslane too, and they helped us arrange all the rentals, create the run of show, and ensure the night ran along as planned, which it did! They went above and beyond every step of the way. They helped us figure out how to move our cocktail hour to a new space within the venue when a new exhibit went up a few weeks before our wedding that wasn't very well suited to a wedding environment. The waitstaff was so kind and made sure we always had a drink in hand, had our coats ready for us at the end of the night, and even set aside a plate of appetizers for us to be sure we could both greet all our guests and eat all our apps. Overall 10/10, we would highly recommend booking Purslane for a truly seamless night with insanely delicious food.

  • Serves Oakland, NJ

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.

Plate and Graze Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Oakland, NJ

As a husband-and-wife team, we know firsthand the power of love and shared experiences. Our story began when we were just eight years old—two kids from the same town and school. Years later, when we reconnected, we knew instantly we were destined to be together. Through our journey, we discovered that our shared passions for food, cooking, events, and styling were meant to be combined. With a unique blend of skills and expertise, we’re dedicated to creating memorable experiences that celebrate every moment. We’re excited to be part of your story—let’s make something amazing together!

From the moment I had my first call with Adrienne, I knew we had found the right caterer! She has such passion and love for what she does, and I immediately felt comfortable and in great hands. Adrienne and Randy’s enthusiasm and dedication to bringing our vision to life were evident every step of the way. They were incredibly responsive, offering creative ideas and making sure every detail was perfect. The tiramisu was, hands down, the best we’ve ever had, and the presentation was beyond impressive. It wasn’t just the quality of the food that blew us away, but the whole experience working with their amazing team. Their commitment to making everything just right truly elevated the event, and we couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience. We absolutely loved working with Adrienne, Randy, and their team. I would absolutely recommend them!

Abigail Kirsch Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Oakland, NJ

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!

Red Oyster USA 

5.0

  • Serves Oakland, NJ

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!

Stuf'd 

5.0

  • Starts at $65
  • Serves Oakland, 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!

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!

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves Oakland, NJ for additional fees

We are a luxury mobile bartending service based out of a converted vintage horse trailer. We bring the party to you by providing everything for the bar but the alcohol. When you hire us, you get our beautiful trailer, a custom menu, certified bartenders, insurance, cups, napkins, straws, fresh squeezed juices, fancy garnishes, homemade syrups, mixers, some decor, all the fun, an alcohol shopping list & much more!

We found The Backyard Bar Co through a vendor recommendation and were so glad we did! Brittany and Candice were responsive to our inquiry and so easy to talk with. Brittany helped put us at ease and from our first phone consultation we knew we were in good hands but could not have imagined just how wonderful it was to work with them. Brittany and Candice are both wonderfully personable yet also highly knowledgeable and professional. They worked with us through phone calls, email and a tasting night to create a bar menu that let our tastes and interests shine through. The menu also brought their considerable experience and love every step of the way using top notch ingredients including homemade lavender simple syrup, in house dried citrus garnishes, luxardo cherries and environmentally considerate serving ware. We had a group chat going the week of the wedding that helped us feel excited and cared for on our day. There were a lot of last minute headaches that we had to sort through and these ladies were joy and sanity in a head spinning time. Weeks after, many guests are still raving about how sweet they both were and what awesome drinks they made. They truly helped make our wedding day the best it could be.

I used Tavola for our backyard wedding ceremony. They were on time, the food was fresh, the presentation was beautiful and a huge hit. 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.
