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.

From the moment we first connected with Chef Julienne, their communication was always available, quick to respond, and filled with kindness. The quality of their work was truly top-notch - the food was delicious, the presentation was detailed and curated to perfection. They thought of everything, allowing me to fully enjoy our special day without a single worry. I'm so glad I connected with them about adding a send-off brunch for our family and friends. It was a gorgeous, economical way for everyone to reconnect one last time before heading home, and the perfect end to our wedding weekend.

Chef SweetLadyR 

5.0

  • Starts at $40
  • Serves Old Tappan, 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

Chef Ellen and her team delivered delicious food for our wedding on May 1st. My husband and I had spoken to other caterers who seemed to want to tell us what we wanted our wedding to be like, but Chef Ellen listened to us and enthusiastically created a menu that checked all of our boxes, including dietary preferences and restrictions. We had a tasting at our home and once we tasted the food, we knew we picked the right caterer. Our guests agreed. It didn't go unnoticed that our food options were anything but the regular wedding fare. We wanted a Mediterranean vibe for all of our entrees and Chef Ellen and her team delivered. As the venue was outside, she worked with her preferred rental vendor, Big Dawg Rental, and ordered all of the equipment needed for the catering operation, keeping me in the loop and checking in on cost. She identified cost savings by asking if I wanted to order some items outside of rentals, which I did on occasion. We hired the serving staff from Renegade as well and they did a great job. I highly recommend Renegade Outpost for a unique catering experience. We definitely received what we wanted.

Plate and Graze Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Old Tappan, 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 Old Tappan, 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.

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.

Pheasant 

5.0

  • Serves Old Tappan, NJ

We LOVE weddings here at Pheasant! Being entrusted with one of the most important days of a couple’s life is not something we take lightly. After all, the bridal couple may be the focus of the day, but an amazing meal and impeccable service will make the entire event that much more memorable. Our knowledgeable staff will help guide you through the decision-making process as we go through menus, table scapes, furniture, timing, bar service and more together. We also have a strong rolodex of planners and florists that we work with on a regular basis - just ask us for more info!

Working with Pheasant was the best decision we could have made for our wedding!!! Yes, it sounds cliché, but it is true. The title of this post is not even a joke; friends and family will-not-stop-talking-about-how-good-the-food-was-at-the-wedding...I'm like...hello? What about me, the bride? Our hilarious and heartfelt vows? The live band? Or even our surprise choreographed dance? Nope!! The food was the **true highlight** of the day/night. Although I may sound mad about it, I am not because it was absolutely delicious, stunning, fresh, and extremely memorable. The appetizers at cocktail hour, the raw bar, and the family style dinner was 10/10, 5 stars, 100%. Most brides and grooms don't even eat at their wedding because they are mingling...but, we had seconds and thirds with extra romesco sauce!!!! Working with Pheasant was hands down the easiest part of the whole wedding. Lola and Cat were incredibly quick to respond to emails, they went along with our requests and offered incredible suggestions. On top of all of that, they handled the rentals, collaborated with our florist and made the table setting romantic, dreamy, and very us 3 They also emotionally supported my decision when I switched event coordinators somewhat late in the game and they helped me find a better match. Lola and Cat were present and professional throughout our time together and then disappeared like fairy godmothers on the special day. They were there, because I vividly remember demanding a hug, but once the event started, they were working their magic on the backend and making sure we had the wedding of our dreams. I do not have a single complaint and I aim to be as honest as possible when writing reviews because it is what helped me make my decision when I was hiring vendors. Do yourself a favor, and hire Pheasant to cater your wedding and you and your guests can thank me later.

Coffee should be a unique experience. A lot of people can do espresso but the personality of a coffee shop is what keeps people coming back. At Ramblin we embody this principle and we bring that show to you.

Ramblin Coffee Truck was an absolute delight at our wedding! From the moment they arrived, the staff was prompt, reliable, friendly, organized, and clear in their communication. The quality of their work was truly impressive - the coffee and specialty drinks they served were fresh, high-quality, professional, unique, and absolutely delicious. Everyone was so blown away by how cool this was! The coffee truck arrived early to my house and then my fiance's house, serving made-to-order drinks for everyone getting ready, creating such a fun, cozy vibe for the morning. I would highly recommend Ramblin Coffee Truck to any couple looking for a unique and memorable addition to their wedding day.

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!
