Hudson Table 

5.0

Philadelphia, PA
  • Starts at $1,000

Hudson Table is a culinary studio located in the heart of Northern Liberties in Philadelphia. We offer everything from cooking classes, to live chef competitions, to bespoke private catered events. Our catering department provides each guest with an extraordinary and memorable experience with a focus on impeccable service, chef-curated seasonal menus, and full customizability to exceed your expectations.

Hudson Table and its staff are a hidden gem for your wedding or special event. We hosted our rehearsal dinner for 45 people at Hudson Table in June 2022. Anne, Chef Doug, Christine and their staff were so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. Chef Doug crafted an amazing menu that catered to our large group and honored several dietary restrictions including vegans and nut allergies. Hudson Table is also BYO which helps keep an event like this within budget. The price point is so reasonable: we looked into numerous options and you cannot feed a group of 45 at this price point at any other venue in the city, and few others can accommodate this large a group. We opted for the additional barending staff and definitely recommend it, they were so helpful and the price was on-budget and elevated the event. Upon arrival, I was thrilled to see the space set up with table runners, and our event manager Christine had an eye for the space and helped us arrange our candles tastefully on some beautiful plateware she had on-site and set up the tables with pops of colored poetry. Hudson Table also has some outdoor seating which is great for a large event like ours, so we had run over into the outdoor space for seating, and Christine decorated those tales with some greenery. The photos from the outdoor space are STUNNING. Christine our event manager kept us on time and checked in with me and my groom frequently to make sure we were eating and to alert us when it was time for toasts, and when we're ready to clean up. Chef Doug also made sure we were eating while entertaining, and checked in about the quality of the food. The portions are generous, and even with 45 people we had leftovers. Hudson packaged the leftovers for us and our guests to take home which was such a pleasant surprise. My groom and I received so many compliments from our guests about the food and the space and were told it was one of the most fun rehearsal dinners they've ever attended. If you are looking for a casual, friendly environment where you can mingle with guests and eat to die-for food, honestly look no further.

I absolutely loved working with Tasha and her team! We had our wedding at a rustic barn venue that did not have a kitchen, but Tasha was able to put together the perfect buffet setup that worked for us. She was very mindful of our budget, and was very helpful throughout the entire process. She came up with a delicious menu that went with our bbq theme, and the signature cocktails at our bar were a huge hit. Our guests gave me so many compliments about everything, and I am grateful that we had Tasha and her team there to make our wedding as special as it was.

The whole team at Bissou made our wedding amazing! Their coordinators- Esther & Ty made me feel so taken care of the entire night of our wedding and the week leading up. We had them handle the coordination, florals, cake, bartending, and full catering, and the whole experience was fantastic! We had a wedding of around 80 guests, and there was plenty of food, and it was delicious. The cake was wonderful, and the platter they made for our cocktail hour was custom Greek and sooo good! The only thing is that Chef T sometimes can be hard to reach, so I would definitely work with Esther as his main point of contact/coordinator. However, he is so lovely and sweet, and his food is fabulous!

Tori, Nina, Dory, Patty, and the whole Summit crew made our day spectacular. Of course the food was outrageously good with super unique choices (our appetizers included turkey and brie egg rolls and bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese to just name a few), but the start-to-finish support and care taken by Tori, Nina, and Patty put our mind at ease throughout the entire day. And that was so important to us. Tori helped us throughout the entire planning process make the decisions that suited us best, and was always there to hype up our choices. Nina ran the smoothest ship the day of the wedding. And Patty was incredible day-of, making sure we ate, drank, and were well taken care of. We wanted a fun party that felt uniquely us, and Summit helped us achieve that. We are so, so grateful, and hope to be able to work with them again in the future.

Stuf'd 

5.0

  • Starts at $65
  • Serves Philadelphia, PA 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!
