Koray and the entire team at Hudson Table Catering are incredible. Hudson Table was our caterer for our wedding ceremony is July 2023. As an out of state bride, Koray worked with me via phone calls and emails throughout the wedding process to create a unique and delicious wedding menu. Koray was able to connect my husband and I with a fantastic bartender, Daniel, who created stunning drinks all night! The entire Hudson Table team was professional, easy to work with, creative, and attentive to our every need. I look forward to visiting both Hudson Table restaurants and hope to work with their catering services again!

Purslane 

5.0

  • Serves Dover, NJ

Purslane is part of The Oberon Group, a Brooklyn neighborhood-focused restaurant group with a commitment to sustainability. We started Purslane in 2012 as a way to serve our community outside of our restaurants. Sustainability wasn’t part of our origin story, but we realized we had an opportunity to make a difference in one of the most wasteful industries out there. We are seasoned experts in executing corporate events of all sizes, ranging from galas and banquets, to private dinners, to multi-day conferences for hundreds of guests, to weekly lunch drop-offs for your whole office.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Purslane, and especially with Michaela and Justin, was a highlight of our wedding planning, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had such excellent partners in producing our event. The staff, especially Michaela and Justin, are responsive, friendly, accommodating, and professional; the space is gorgeous and beautifully maintained and operated; the food and drink were bountiful and delicious, and the service rivaled any of New York's fine restaurants. Best of all, the process of collaborating to make our wedding happen was easy and fun, and Michaela and Justin made us, the nervous engaged couple with a million things to manage, very confident that our day would not just go as planned, but would be a beautiful success. And indeed it was! Of all the people we worked with. Michaela and Justin deserve special mention. They are excellent communicators, responsive to the million questions and people that wedding planning entails. They are proactive collaborators, laying out a clear process and schedule not just for the day, but for the process of working to plan it. They provided useful, detailed documentation at every step of the way, including a very helpful list of recommended vendors. Every meeting with them was fun and friendly, but also productive, punctual and a good use of time. And of course, the food and wine tastings were delicious. Michaela and Justin were so helpful in giving us a sense of how the venue would perform in a situation we wouldn't get to experience until the day itself. They guided us expertly, making shrewd suggestions we might not have considered ("Since you have an open bar, we recommend choosing a heavier vegetarian entree.") My wife and I had a unique vision for our event, and these two not only assured us that it was possible, they worked with the park to accommodate myriad details, even down to the selection of lightbulbs. It's no exaggeration to say that without their help, the event would not have had the specific atmosphere we imagined, nor would it have been the roaring success that it was. All the confidence they inspired along the way paid off on the day, when Michaela, Justin, and their staff were a machine. The service was prompt, helpful, and invisible; the food was great, not losing too much in the translation from tasting to event; the wedding ran perfectly smoothly, with Purslane on top of the schedule, keeping the momentum of the night alive as they moved tables, served each course, operated the bars, and so on with perfect cadence. We are so, so grateful to Purslane for making our wedding a true dream come to life. Our only regret is not responding sooner to their lovely post-wedding thank you note, and for taking so long to write this review! To you recently-engageds with so many decisions to make, let me help you with this one: your search is over; just hire Purslane.

The Fork Goes on the Left 

5.0

  • Serves Dover, NJ

What we offer you is not only great food, but elegant presentations and impeccable service. We have successfully combined the flavorful elements of traditional Southern, Caribbean, Cajun and Continental Cuisines which are prepared healthfully, with fresh seasonal vegetables and herbs. Your wedding day food will be memorable.

The Fork Goes on the Left provided everything we needed for our wedding: incredible food that the guests keep talking about, an amazing team to make sure everything went smoothly, and a real enthusiasm for making sure the event went as well as we envisioned it. Mellanee is a true professional. We knew we wanted to work with her as soon as we left the tasting. She brings her unique style of fusing southern and Caribbean flavors in a way that is entirely original. Everything was presented beautifully and was absolutely delicious. We made a what felt like hundreds of decisions while planning and picking a caterer is probably the most important. After the wedding, we felt that choosing the Fork Goes on the Left was the best decision we could have made. I cannot imagine having had our wedding catered by anyone else.

  • Serves Dover, NJ

Awarded BEST Of Catering 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 on ALL Major Platforms! Chef Angelo Napoli has been in the restaurant business his entire life. His passion and esteemed aspirations to become a chef grew stronger throughout the years while watching his father work in their family owned restaurant, Napoli Pizza. His love for delicious cuisine became an addiction. Competing throughout his early education in various culinary battles, Angelo knew he had a gift. He spent years mastering his craft, working sous chef and head chef positions at some of the Lehigh Valley's top restaurants!

I recently worked with Modern Fusion Catering for a Welcome Reception the night before my son's wedding. Although I was in Massachusetts and never met Angelo, the process of remotely planning an event for 80 people was made smooth and stress-free. Angelo's professionalism and expertise truly stood out. He was incredibly responsive, detail-oriented, and proactive in ensuring that every aspect was covered. From menu planning to execution, he provided peace of mind throughout the entire process. The event itself was a huge success, and the food was absolutely delicious. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Modern Fusion Catering!

Shore Catering

  • Serves Dover, NJ

5-Star Full-Service Catering from casual to elegant for all occasions since 1988. We offer packages for all occasions such as wedding receptions, lobster clambakes, bbq picnics, beach parties, showers, anniversaries, and so much more. Our team will assist you from start to finish, planning your menu, coordinating rentals, linen colors, floorplans, timelines, vendor referrals, private tastings and so much more. We bring our catering services to all corners of New Jersey and will also assist you in trying to find the perfect venue to suit your event's needs. Shore Catering can help make your event a memorable occasion.

When we tasted the food we knew that our guests would be happy with our selection of shore catering (and we were right! We recieved many compliments on the dinner and hors d'oeuvres). What we DIDN'T realize is that we were receiving more than just a catering service- we were receiving what felt like a warm welcome into a family business that took some of the stress out of the wedding planning process! Shore was the only caterer we encountered that was willing to work within our budget, and individually tailor a package to meet our needs, allowing us to feel comfortable financially without feeling like we were sacrificing ANY of the quality and elegance that we wanted for our wedding! Moreover, on the day of our wedding, summer took care of us as though we were her oldest friends, meeting us with so much genuine warmth and a contagious smile. She made sure we were able to actually eat and drink (which so many of our friends told us would be difficult to do at our wedding!) and kept the vibe HIGH even in spite of pouring rain and floods on the day of the event! We wish we could get married again and again and we would hire Shore Catering every single time!! I HIGHLY recommend Shore Catering to any bride and groom who want all of the quality with none of the stress!
