San Martino: Italian Street Food Pasta Station 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Darien, CT

Book our pasta station for your wedding celebration(s) with our exclusive pasta pan, ‘Il Pentolo’, imported directly from 🇮🇹 Italy with authentic 🍝 pasta dishes cooked LIVE in front of you by a native Italian 👨🏽‍🍳 chef. This one-of-a-kind, 40-inch diameter, stainless steel pasta pan will impress your guests. ‘Il Pentolo’ LIVE offers your choice of Spaghetti Pomodoro, Fettucine al Ragú, Paccheri ai Frutti di Mare, Tonarelli Cacio e Pepe, Bucatini all’Amatriciana & more… A full menu of offerings and pricing will be provided upon inquiring and can be tailored to your event.

San Martino was a wonderful addition to our engagement party. Multiple guests raved about the pasta served, particularly the Paccheri ai Frutti di Mare (which was custom-made for us after inquiring since it is our favorite dish). The Pentolo pan was a showstopper and a huge hit - I've never seen anything like it. It made for some memorable photos and a talking point amongst family & friends. The chef was not shy when loading up our bowls with pasta, which was served right out of the huge pasta pan. Loved that the chef was a native of Italy and spoke the language, which made the evening feel genuinely and authentically Italian. We chatted about my family's Italian roots and shared our experiences and travels in Italy. All in all, the vibes were immaculate, the food was fantastic, and the presentation was stunning. Would definitely use San Martino again, and would certainly recommend them to others!

We hired chef Ellen/Renegade Outpost to provide all the food for my son's large engagement party in a cocktail lounge. They were so easy to deal with, unobtrusive when preparing and serving in a place that was not totally intended for such service, and everyone commented on how delicious and creative the food was! We felt very fortunate to have found them!

Joint Venture 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,750
  • Serves Darien, CT

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.

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).

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Darien, CT

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.

As a classically trained chef, I hope my review of La Mila inspires anyone doing their “homework” to earn an A — for themselves, especially their guests. I’ve been to many weddings, and the food served is often an edible afterthought. How many times, when leaving a wedding, were you asked, “What did you think about the food?” — and you replied with shrugged shoulders, “Eh, it was okay.” That is not the case with La Mila. A huge shoutout and thank you to Sandy, who was able to pull together a phenomenal menu all in a very timely timeline. Sandy was honest, upfront, and available around our busy work schedule. The day before and the day of, Sandy was there to help with setup — from the big asks, like helping move furniture, to the small tasks—like lighting lanterns and ensuring no glass of champagne for our toast was served empty! Given our wedding took place at our home, we thoroughly appreciated Sandy staying late to clean the kitchen, empty overflowing garbage, and make sure our home was not a war zone when we woke up the next morning! Elie’s execution of our menu was stellar. As a classically trained chef, I was thoroughly impressed by the well-run machine Elie could create within our garage, the makeshift kitchen for the event. It rained on our wedding day, and we were blessed with a beautiful, vivid rainbow—right before dinner service. This blessing brought all our guests outside for 30 minutes—right before dinner. A major wrench in the moment-by-moment timeline. I know how this, for many chefs, can be a disruptive, unexpected delay—but Elie did not miss a beat. All of our guests raved about the food—notably friends who I graduated with from the Culinary Institute of America. One thing I learned in culinary school is that you “eat with your eyes first.” Simply put, Heidi’s presentation skills are on point! Her attention to detail in creating beautiful food displays, notably for our cocktail hour, showed the care, thought and love we wanted our guests to feel. Sandy, Elie, and Heidi may be the stars of La Mila’s show—but the success of our wedding would not have been possible without their hard-working and friendly staff. One of the elements that sold us on choosing La Mila, was their well-stocked arsenal of kitchen equipment they brought on site. (Most caterers require you rent equipment separately, which is not only more expensive, but introduces a whole new dimension of moving parts.) La Mila was also able to include chinaware, silverware, and the majority of our glassware! They even included soft drinks, water, condiments, cocktail napkins, etc. — all of this, and they still came in under what we were quoted by other caterers. Thank you, Sandy, Elie, Heidi, and the entire La Mila Catering & Events team, for making our wedding day what it was. Your talent, professionalism, and experience were felt by everyone who took part in our special day.

We had an incredible experience with Big Green Truck Pizza at our Wedding Welcome Event! Renting their pizza truck was one of the best decisions we made. The entire process was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The team from Big Green Truck Pizza was professional, friendly, and exceptionally accommodating. They arrived on time and set up efficiently, bringing their signature charm and enthusiasm that immediately engaged our guests. The smell of their delicious pizzas filled the air, setting the perfect tone for a fun and relaxed event. The variety of pizzas they offered was fantastic, with something to please every palate. Each slice was made with high-quality ingredients and cooked to perfection—crispy crusts, flavorful toppings, and mouthwatering cheese. The salad and gelato included made it a no brainer for us! We were looking forward to espresso and cappuccino but I don’t think they brought it to our event. But no one noticed because our guests couldn’t stop raving about how amazing the food was! They even brought gluten free crusts and made them dairy free for my MIL. The unique experience of having a pizza truck added a fun, interactive element to our event that everyone enjoyed. Big Green Truck Pizza truly elevated our welcome event, and we couldn’t be happier with their service. A huge thank you to the team for helping us kick off our wedding weekend celebrations!

The New York Country Club 

5.0

  • Serves Darien, CT

Nestled in the hills of the Hudson Valley just 30 minutes north of NYC the New York Country Club is home to some of the most scenic views in the Hudson Valley, including a dramatic backdrop of the Manhattan skyline! Our covered & partially enclosed terrace offers panoramic views of our award winning golf course with rolling hills, beautiful gardens, serene ponds and waterfalls. Our Grand Ballroom comfortably accommodates 50 to 275 guests in elegant style. Our talented and accomplished Executive Chef offers delicious reception menus with a wide variety of culinary offerings providing for a customized dinner reception.

We loved every moment of wedding planning with Julie Ann at NYCC. She was the first coordinator we spoke to and we knew she was fantastic right away. We visited several other venues to be sure, and they just didn’t measure up to NYCC’s hospitality and attention to detail. Julie Ann kept us updated throughout our year and a half engagement, even through many Covid changes. NYCC always reassured us that they would be up to date with safety policies and procedures, and they most certainly were. The wedding day was absolutely spectacular. Julie Ann and my bridal attendant Lori did not let me worry about a single thing. The vendors got all set up and ready to go and I didn’t even realize! I just got to enjoy my day thanks to the ease and efficiency of NYCC. My guests cannot stop telling me how delicious the food was, and how much food there was! We didn’t even include any add-ons to our menu because there is so much food already (although we really toyed with the sushi station and the ice sculpture add ons!) My husband and I enjoyed all of the cocktail hour food intimately in our bridal suite on a beautiful charcuterie tray. How lovely to have a private moment right after the ceremony! We also got to keep our things in the locked bridal suite the night before the wedding, and could have left things until the next morning if we had chosen. It was so great to have that private, safe space, and to be able to give the key code to select members of family and bridal party. I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful Julie Ann was in helping us coordinate the best day of our lives. There isn’t a single thing I would have changed! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Sunflowers Event Planning, Inc 

5.0

  • Serves Darien, CT for additional fees

With more then 25 years experience we find that listening to every bride and or client describe what they want for their special day or event is what it takes to be successful. It's what you want not what we want. Creativity is a strong characteristic and I enjoy the final product. It's simple. When the clients are happy I know we were to their expectations and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

We hired Sunflowers for our daughter's back yard wedding on Sept 12, 2020. Once Chef Laura and her crew arrived (hours before the event), they took over and I knew I was in good hands. Chef Laura was a pleasure to work with and also provided excellent guidance during the planning stages. The appetizers, passed during cocktail hour, looked and tasted great. All of the food during the buffet dinner was also excellent. The bar was well stocked with everything we needed for our crowd, which enjoys their cocktails. The crew were professional and responsive and kept everything clean during the party. Because of their hard work, I was able to enjoy the day! I will definitely call on Sunflowers for future events and would recommend them highly.
