About Jillicious Foods & Events

Jill Freiberg (She/Her)

Owner and Head Chef

Jillicious Foods is an all-in-one catering and event company dedicated to creating inspired, authentic wedding, social and corporate experiences. For us, every client represents a unique opportunity to tell a new and delicious story. Chef Jill has been telling these stories for nearly three decades. We work in a variety of cuisines, from New American to Cajun to Southeast Asian; accommodate all diets, including gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian; and are proud to partner with local farms and purveyors throughout the Hudson Valley and New York City.

Chef Jill and the Jillicious Foods team bring a passion for local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients to all their catering events — from black tie to rustic weddings, and from cocktail parties and wine dinners to casual BBQs — and always handpick all the ingredients. We’re guided by our commitment to using only the finest, freshest, sustainably grown, and raised products we can find, sourcing locally whenever possible, and following practices that protect our planet. And we never use the same menu twice.

    Absolute Rockstars!

    Jill and Sadia were absolute rockstars for our wedding in early September. Food is important to us and our families, and we knew we wanted a family-style meal that felt like us. From my very first phone call with Jill, I was completely in. She took the time to really get to know us, what we like, and what we wanted our wedding to feel like before building a menu that brought all of that together. The food was fun, fresh, creative, and SO delicious. It’s been three weeks since our wedding, and our guests are still talking about how good the food was! Jill is truly so good at what she does, but what made the experience even more special was how much fun she was to work with. She has such great energy and brought that same warmth and excitement to our wedding day. We also had the pleasure of working with Sadia for day-of-coordination and she was equally incredible. She was thoughtful, organized, responsive, and somehow managed to make everything feel completely seamless while also bringing such a kind and joyful energy to the process. Our guests have commented not just on the food, but on how lovely, welcoming, and wonderful both Jill and Sadia were. We are so grateful that we got to work with them and that they were such a big part of our wedding. They made the whole experience feel personal, easy, and genuinely fun. And honestly, if you’re considering working with Sadia for coordination or Jill for catering, don’t think about it, just hire them. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat (and I would absolutely have another wedding just to eat more of Jill’s food!).

    Fantastic experience with Jill and Team

    Jill, Darren, and the team hit it out of the park! We truly could not have been happier with the food and service on our wedding day. Our guests loved it, and we have gotten dozens of compliments including "the best wedding food I've ever had." Two highlights were how special the staff made us feel on the day (servers were constantly offering my husband and I drinks food to make sure we were enjoying it all as well) and how seamlessly Jill crafted a creative half-vegan menu at my request (mushroom wellington, soy chorizo tacos). The Jillicious team made the catering experience enjoyable from the first tasting to the end of the wedding night. 10/10. We give them our highest recommendation!!

    Jillicious is THE BEST!

    Jill, Darren, and the entire team at Jillicious were a class act. When we went in for our tasting, Jill took care to design a menu that really reflected us as a couple and she worked with us to offer delicious, fresh seasonal options. Throughout the planning process the Jillicious team was very timely and took care of us as we navigated the rental process and made our final selections. No detail was left untouched at our final walkthrough and meetings, and we were very impressed with the insights and experience the entire team provided, especially pertaining to our venue which was an old house and had a very unique dining/serving setup. When it came to the night of, Jill and her team were so accommodating, flexible, professional, and kind throughout the day during setup and the evening of the wedding. We got SO many compliments on the food. The next morning I had people raving about it to me and texting me that they tried to bribe Jill & team for seconds! It was soooo delicious and I wish we could eat that short rib for every anniversary! My husband and I spent a lot of time on the dance floor and Jill even brought us our special desserts to enjoy a bite while we danced, just the nicest touch and a testament to how her team treats every couple they work with. The team at Jillicious is absolutely the team you want in your corner for such an important day, they are stellar caterers, but more importantly — lovely, caring people who will approach every second of your day with care. I'm so grateful my planner introduced me to Jill & her team and I would 100% recommend them to every couple in NYC looking for a catering service that truly listens to you, is not one size fits all, and sets a new standard for wedding meals!

    Above and Beyond

    I really don’t have enough good things to say about Jill and her team. Jill and Darren were with us every step of the way - they were the first vendors we booked because we knew immediately that it felt right. And we were proven time and time again that they were our best decision (aside from getting married!). Not only is Jill’s food spectacular - we had multiple guests tell us it was the best food they’d had at a wedding - Jill went above and beyond by being our constant source of support and knowledge on the wedding industry. No problem was too big for Jill to fix, and we immediately trusted our day would go perfectly because we trusted Jill and her team that much. They really are the most knowledgeable professionals in the business and it’s always evident how much they protect and prioritize the happiness of their clients. If you’re still deciding, look no further than Jillivious Foods!! I promise it will be the best decision you’ve make too.
