Chef Julienne 

5.0

  • Starts at $534
  • Serves Scotch Plains, NJ

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 very first interaction, Chef Julienne's communication style was open, honest, and quick to respond. Their catering services were cultivated, detailed, elevated, and absolutely delicious. They went above and beyond to make my wedding day special - there were small touches they remembered I liked, and they included these complimentary as a gift. My sister has severe allergies, and Chef Julienne made sure she felt completely secure and comfortable with all the food options. Even though catering felt like an extra expense at first, it ended up being one of the premier moments of my wedding day. The food was gorgeous and nourishing, keeping my wedding party energized and happy throughout the long day. I'm so grateful to Chef Julienne for their incredible service and attention to detail.

Chef SweetLadyR 

5.0

  • Starts at $40
  • Serves Scotch Plains, 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

Plate and Graze Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Scotch Plains, 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!

Our wedding was on Saturday 10/4 and we cannot say enough good things about Adrienne, Randy and the entire team at Plate and Graze. Throughout the entire process their communication and attention to detail was top notch. Adrienne always made us feel like our wedding was a priority and was always willing to offer a personal touch. Our guests can’t stop talking about how amazing the food was and how amazing the presentation was of both the buffet and the dance floor options (including the bottle service style pretzels and beer cheese). I highly recommend trusting Plate and Graze for your special day.

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.

The oysters come from carefully selected oysterfarms in the Northern East coast of US/Canada. With their outgoing personality, our Oystertainers know how to persuade almost anybody to eat oysters. The founder, Matijn Wijn, started the company 20 years ago in the Netherlands. He is driven by a passion for oysters and when he introduced Oystertainment® it was an overnight success. 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!
