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

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.

We hired Kate for our corporate event and everything was seamless and delicious. The presentation was absolutely stunning — you can tell that every platter and grazing detail is made with care and creativity. The sandwiches and salads were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully arranged, and the charcuterie spread was truly the highlight of our event. Our higher up administrative team couldn’t stop raving about the quality and attention to detail. Communication was easy, delivery was on time, and everything exceeded our expectations. If you’re hosting any gathering — big or small — The Crafted Cook is the way to go. Highly recommend!

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!!

Working with Ellen was wonderful. Her professionalism, courtesy and thoughtfulness were outstanding. Her food was both delicious and presented beautifully. I am so happy I went with her and will gladly call her again. So low key and genuinely a very nice person. She helped with so many things that were above and beyond her job. I highly recommend Ellen to cater your party. Mine was a graduation party at a community room in a NYC apartment building. It has difficult parking and drop off for all her catering materials. But Ellen made it work. She also helped me plan a very tasteful menu. Also her assistant, Alex, was so professional and diligent. They both really helped make my party a success!"

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).

Emily's Catering was an extraordinary part of our wedding day at South Farms in Morris, CT. Rick and his team handled everything wonderfully; They were organized, prompt, responsive, enthusiastic, creative, and VERY well-priced. Because we decided not to hire a planner, it was crucial that we retain vendors who could operate self-sufficiently, and Emily's truly went above and beyond in every respect. They even accommodated serving my husband's home-brew, including making wood signs for us as a surprise. My husband and I still talk about how much we loved and appreciated them, and we enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking the perfect caterer for their wedding.
