Jillicious Foods & Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $20,000
  • Serves New York, NY

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.

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!

Chef Lemaire, LLC 

5.0

  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves New York, NY for additional fees

Award-wining Chef Alain Lemaire is a native of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where he first discovered his interest in cooking. That interest in food grew out of the need to feed himself what he wanted, and when he wanted it by watching his mother and grandmother in the kitchen, to full blown passion by the time he graduated. Chef Lemaire has featured on several TV shows: he was the host chef of the “Taste of Haiti” episode of the "Luda Can't Cook" series on Discovery+ with award winning rapper, actor, restauranteur Chris "Ludacris" Bridges. He is also a contestant of the Food Network's hit series, Fire Masters, Cutthroat Kitchen, and Chopped.

Clear and consistent communication throughout the entire journey further highlighted their commitment to ensuring a flawless execution. I highly recommend chef Lemaire to anyone seeking top-tier services for their special occasion.

JOLAS KITCHEN 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves New York, NY for additional fees

We pamper your tastebuds with authentic African Foods. To us, it’s more than just food, it’s a brand. It’s THE JOLAS KITCHEN BRAND. We have created a brand, with some amazing loyalty. Our aim is to take you back to the streets of Lagos with the Jolasjollof, and if you have never been to Lagos you can enjoy what the Nigerian party Jollof tastes like. It’s cooked with parboiled rice in a mixture of carefully selected peppers to give you that authentic taste of Nigerian Jollof. Looking forward to bringing our flavors to your next event!

Jolas Kitchen catered at our wedding on December 27th. I cannot say enough good things about Chef Jola, she was so communicative, and made excellent recommendations and suggestions, which was so helpful to me as a first time bride who had never planned such a large event before. We were absolutely blown away by the presentation, and the care and attentiveness of chef Jola and her team. I have never worked with such thoughtful and kind caterers, they really thought of everything and made the night such a wonderful and stress free experience for us. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved everything, from the Beef Suya (my personal favorite) to the Cole Slaw, to the Jollof and Meat Pies, and the Puff Puff. A lot of brides don’t eat much on their wedding day, but I cleaned my whole plate and even took some home with me. Highly recommend!

Are tastings available before booking a wedding caterer?

Who wouldn't jump at the chance for a sneak peek—or better yet, a sneak taste—of their wedding menu? Most wedding caterers in NYC know that the way to a couple's heart is through their stomach, and they stand ready to put their best plate forward. But do check in with your caterer about how they handle tastings—some offer them before you book (often for an additional fee), while others include full course sit down tastings of their menu offerings for you to select from after you’ve signed a contract.

What's included in the catering package price in New York City?

Let’s start with the most important part - the food. Typically, appetizers and a full meal are included in a wedding catering package (and sometimes even the cake!), but costs depend on whether you’re looking for passed hors d'oeuvres and a seated meal with individual entrees, or more of a buffet or family-style setup. The catering package often comes with the essentials, too - think tables, chairs, linens, silverware, and a professional staff ready to cater to you and your guests’ every need. That said, there are a wide variety of catering options available, so it's best to get the lowdown from your caterer directly. Will there be extra charges for setup and takedown? How about a corkage fee? Any chance of a complimentary food truck at midnight? Ask away, because chances are the right caterer will be able to work with you and your budget to achieve your dream culinary vision for your big day.

How far in advance do I need to finalize the menu with my caterer?

Generally, New York City caterers appreciate a final menu selection several months in advance of your wedding, and a final headcount several weeks in advance. Why? It's all about ensuring perfection, from procuring the freshest ingredients to coordinating the kitchen staff to ensure your menu is a showstopper.
