Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Multiple people told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had (which says a lot!). Beyond the food, the entire team was incredible, especially Mary the event manager who quarterbacked the planning so ably. Everything ran so smoothly, the service was on point, and they handled all the behind-the-scenes details so we didn’t have to think about a thing. If you’re even considering Odeen’s, just do it.

The Crafted Cook 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Riverside, CT
  • Offer

I’ve gained passion for crafting up a sharp cheese board and catching some sunshine! I grew up in a family where food was plentiful, the focal point of any gathering or celebration and knowing you would never leave hungry. My passion for food and the culture behind it began when I was 6, working in my family’s deli, and that’s when I learned why food was a necessity to a gathering, celebration or corporate event (no matter the guest count). Customers faces gleamed when they knew eggplant parm was a special, or could walk in and smell a fresh pot of sauce was being made. It's now my passion for my clients to be gleaming too.

The Crafted Cook was amazing! From start to finish, the communication to the food display was so great! We hired them for our private back yard wedding and can’t wait for future parties! We had a graze for 50 guests and there was absolutely nothing left! Months later, our guests still talk about our cocktail hour and how that was the star of the show! Run, don’t walk, to book them for any of your future parties or events! Thank you for making our day so special!

I have been going to Grounds Donut House ever since they opened and their donuts are unlike anything else I’ve ever tried! They always have new donuts each week and one is more delicious than the next. Since I loved them so much, I’ve ordered their donuts for everything you can imagine- friends houses, birthday parties, meetings, holidays (they always make cute holiday donuts too!). I used their donut truck for my wedding and my sons birthday and the truck itself is so cool and beautiful. But the donuts were a hit- everyone is still raving about them! 10/10 recommend to anyone!!

Joint Venture 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Starts at $20,000
  • Serves Riverside, CT

Danny has spent the past dozen years working in kitchens around New York City and abroad. After attending the French Culinary Institute, Danny worked at Momofuku Ko, Isa, Estela, and Cabane à Sucre Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal. In 2015, Danny founded Joint Venture as a way to explore how food can bring people together beyond the confines of a restaurant’s four walls. JV is a departure from and reaction to the kitchens of his past. It's about collaborating with friends, reconnecting with nature, and working directly with farmers and producers. JV creates menus that are of the season and expressive of their surroundings. JV is ever-evolving.

Awarded Best of Zola
Joint Venture cooked some of the best food of our lives for our wedding of 135 people last year in the Catskills. Danny somehow managed to create a menu that was comforting and indulgent, yet nourishing. I'm a musician who's played hundreds of weddings and I've never experienced a caterer close to Joint Venture's level. He also focuses on seasonal ingredients and sustainable farming practices-- even growing some of the food for the meal himself. We couldn't recommend Joint Venture more to anyone looking for a transcendent catering experience that's also down-to-earth (literally).
