My husband has Celiac and Emily's was accommodating with this and any other dietary restrictions from our guests. The food was consistently delicious and looked professional.

Ww love being part of milestone moments in the lives of our customers. Weddings, Baby Showers and first birthdays are just some of the events we love to work at. We are a small family business and believe in treating our clients like family. We take great pride in our product and of bringing the flavors of Naples to your venue or home.

We had Va Fa Napoli at our new home for a combined housewarming and milestone anniversary celebration. With an invitation of 75 guests, we wanted to be hands off the food and work while providing our guests with great food… and who doesn’t love pizza!? Well, from the very beginning, communication was great and Va Fa Napoli delivered everything as stated. The pizza truck arrived on time and set up perfectly in our driveway along with setup of three high top tables. The pizzas flowed for a full two hours and the array of different toppings left nobody hungry! The party was exactly the casual atmosphere with yummy food we envisioned. We also had them provide salad to round out the menu and it was fresh and delicious also. The entire staff was a pleasure to have here, friendly, respectful and very professional. We would not hesitate to have this amazing company back another time for a future event, so don’t hesitate to use them for your next celebration! You won’t be sorry… thanks again Ava Fa Napoli for helping to make our special day an absolute pleasure and so yummy on all levels!

Under the Moon Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,955
  • Serves South River, NJ

Under the Moon Café was born in 2006 from the desire of Estela Buontempo Orosco and Santiago Orosco to create a restaurant with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that offers home cooked style meals and the best desserts in Bordentown, NJ. The exquisite made from scratch food from our internationally inspired cuisine, along with a well known customer service reputation drove us to open another location in Lambertville, NJ, giving us the opportunity to expand our family.

We selected Under the Moon for our afterparty, as it’s located just a five-minute walk from Lambertville Station, our wedding venue. Working with Dayna was delightful. Her communication was prompt and she provided excellent suggestions for our menu. Weeks before the wedding, we had received more interest in the afterparty than we initially planned for. We were grateful that Dayna offered that we move the party to the restaurant’s heated tent. Ultimately, an impending snowstorm post-wedding limited attendance, allowing the party to be held indoors in the restaurant’s larger dining room. Nonetheless, we were very appreciative of Under the Moon’s flexibility, hospitality, and delicious food. Our family happily devoured the after party leftovers the next day during the blizzard.

Renegade Outpost Review Chef Ellen was really great to work with! From the start of our conversation to the wedding day, working with Renegade Outpost was an exceptional experience. Everyone raved about the food at our wedding! The appetizers were an early show stopper. Our favorites were the Cremini mushrooms & Jackfruit Mini Tacos - YUM! We had Latin style main entree, Pollo Guisado, which my husband absolutely loved. On top of the amazing food Chef Ellen was really fabulous to work with personally. She worked within my budget, made it easy to stay in touch, and I felt she had our best interest at heart. She was personable and gave us her honest options and opinions. She also helped us with the rentals we needed and finding a bar tender. I was very satisfied with our whole experience.

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Jillicious! My husband and I are major foodies so we knew we didn’t want to have standard wedding food at our reception. We started searching for wedding caterers that would work with us to customize the perfect menu for our wedding day. Jillicious did not disappoint! We worked with Chef Jill to put together the most delicious menu of both apps and main courses. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding couldn’t stop raving about how good the food was. It honestly rivaled many of our favorite restaurants in NYC. In addition to the food, Chef Jill and her staff were amazing. They were so responsive throughout the whole wedding process and offered so many great recommendations. On the wedding day, the staff were very helpful with getting the rentals in order, setting up the tables, etc. We also had some guests thank us for how allergy conscious the wedding and staff were. We're so grateful to Jillicious for bringing our vision to life and couldn’t recommend them more! They truly contributed to an absolutely perfect wedding day!

We enjoyed getting to know them and felt very taken care of. They remained attentive and communicative in the months leading up to the wedding, answering any questions right away. At the wedding, our guests were delighted by the food, and I’m still hearing praises of it a month later.

After 29 successful years of serving South Jersey, Joe, Dory, Kevin, Tori, and Alysa are ready and eager to make your next event a culinary experience!

Tori, Nina, Dory, Patty, and the whole Summit crew made our day spectacular. Of course the food was outrageously good with super unique choices (our appetizers included turkey and brie egg rolls and bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese to just name a few), but the start-to-finish support and care taken by Tori, Nina, and Patty put our mind at ease throughout the entire day. And that was so important to us. Tori helped us throughout the entire planning process make the decisions that suited us best, and was always there to hype up our choices. Nina ran the smoothest ship the day of the wedding. And Patty was incredible day-of, making sure we ate, drank, and were well taken care of. We wanted a fun party that felt uniquely us, and Summit helped us achieve that. We are so, so grateful, and hope to be able to work with them again in the future.
