ONTHEMARC Events

  • Serves Riverside, CT

ONTHEMARC is a contemporary, full-service caterer with extensive experience in off-site catered events. The culinary experience is at the heart of everything we do. We handle every detail to bring your vision to life —from custom menus and logistics to staffing and artful presentation—creating an event where you and your guests feel truly celebrated.

“As soon as we visited On the Marc for our food tasting, we knew that the food would be fantastic—and more on that in a minute—but OTM really set itself apart with the service. They greeted our guests with flavored waters when they arrived (hugely helpful for a mid-summer wedding), had servers ready with drinks and food as soon as cocktail hour started, prepared an appetizer platter for a quick private moment as newlyweds, and much much more. A few things stick out over all though: first, the servers were so attentive that they realized a friend of mine was absolutely smashing one of the appetizers and kept bringing those to her (even learning to take the mint leaf off as she did). Second, they rolled with the punches as we realized we may have screwed up some food placards, accommodating our request to check with each guest to make sure we had it right. Third, they had servers march out all at the same time to bring courses during dinner services, a super-professional touch which gave the service a white-glove-service feel. The food was delicious, and everyone kept commenting on it (even on the dance floor where they brought desserts!!). Overall, the food was amazing, the only thing better than the food was the service, and we highly recommend OTM to anyone considering them!”

“San Martino was a wonderful addition to our engagement party. Multiple guests raved about the pasta served, particularly the Paccheri ai Frutti di Mare (which was custom-made for us after inquiring since it is our favorite dish). The Pentolo pan was a showstopper and a huge hit - I've never seen anything like it. It made for some memorable photos and a talking point amongst family & friends. The chef was not shy when loading up our bowls with pasta, which was served right out of the huge pasta pan. Loved that the chef was a native of Italy and spoke the language, which made the evening feel genuinely and authentically Italian. We chatted about my family's Italian roots and shared our experiences and travels in Italy. All in all, the vibes were immaculate, the food was fantastic, and the presentation was stunning. Would definitely use San Martino again, and would certainly recommend them to others!”

“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.”

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).”

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!”
