Odeen’s Catering delivered a wedding dining experience that genuinely rivaled some of the best restaurants we’ve been to. The quality of the food was exceptional from start to finish — not just “great for a wedding,” but truly outstanding on its own merits. Every course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully executed. The ingredients tasted fresh, the flavors were balanced and elevated, and everything was served at the perfect temperature — something that’s incredibly hard to achieve at scale. From the cocktail hour through dinner, there wasn’t a single dish that didn’t impress. What stood out most was the consistency. Whether you were one of the first tables served or the last, the quality never dipped. That level of precision and care is rare in catering, and it did not go unnoticed by our guests — many of whom are serious food lovers and couldn’t stop talking about the meal. Beyond the food, the service was seamless and professional, but it was the culinary experience that truly set Odeen’s apart. If food is a priority for your event, you will be in exceptionally good hands with this team.

The Crafted Cook 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Shelton, 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!

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).

Starting their careers in the restaurant and food industry, Elie & Heidi Hanna decided to utilize their unique experiences and create their own vision of a full service event company. La Mila is named after their daughter, Milana, who provides them with limitless inspiration and motivation.

Awarded Best of Zola
This review is a tad long so bear with me. I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024. While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team. I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends. Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely. In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her. Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert. We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated. Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed. Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism. *I wish I took pictures.

Our experience with The Woodwinds Planning and Catering was fantastic throughout. Michael, our coordinator, made the planning process smooth with quick email responses whenever we had questions or needed to make changes. On the day of our wedding, the team showed up prepared and ready to execute our vision without any hiccups. My bridal attendant was great, shoutout to her! The food was delicious and our guests haven’t stopped talking about it. We felt taken care of throughout the entire process. Sergio was our day-of-coordinator, his attention to detail made all the difference; he certainly made my whole vision come to life!!! The only thing we had requested that we unfortunately did not get was the sparkler send-off, but nothing that really took away from the night as we were on the dance floor right up until the last possible minute. We would absolutely recommend The Woodwinds to any couple looking for a caterer who actually listens and delivers. We had the most amazing night.
