My family and I had a great experience! Due to the current Covid environment, we were a bit hesitate to still have our wedding. We new most of our family members and close friends had their 2nd shots but were worried about hired staff. Just a Nibble NYC did an amazing job and really surpassed our expectations. They were professional, clean and most importantly, safe. Food was great too!! Would very highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a wedding or any catering services needed.

Abigail Kirsch Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

The seeds of the business go back to the 1960s when Abigail started a cooking school from the basement of her home. Her entrepreneurial spirit and early success drove her to quickly expand the school to a retail outlet, and few years later, her husband, Bob, sold his company to join her in launching the catering business. Their son, Jim, joined the couple in 1980 and has been running the business with Partner & Chef Alison Awerbuch since the early 2000s. Through the years, the DNA of Abigail Kirsch has never changed. Rooted in the belief that, “We are only as good as our last event,” its culture centers on creativity, planning and flawless execution. The company’s mission is to execute events in which the client feels like a guest and guests feel as though they are in someone’s home.

Don't consider Abigail Kirsch. Book your wedding at Abigail Kirsch! From beginning to end it was such a wonderful experience! Our Event Coordinator was absolutely amazing. He made it so easy for us to enjoy our day, knowing that he would take care of everything. The venue was gorgeous, the service impeccable, the food outstanding, the presentation beautiful, the staff were all friendly and welcoming. What more could you ask for? We would highly recommend having your wedding at an Abigail Kirsch property. You will be in great hands!

KGFare Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

In 2008 Josh Griffiths and Peter Killy decided it was time to create without compromise. They launched KG Fare, offering fun, dynamic and memorable full-service catering and event experiences. Hospitality without the attitude. Entertaining curations that raise the bar for food and drinks.

We enjoyed collaborating with KG Fare on our dream wedding menu. They were flexible and supportive of our wedding vision, especially during the COVID period. They spent time with us to go over every single detail from the texture and flavor of the food to safety measures to the overall set up of tables, decorations and more. Weeks leading up to our big, special event, we were in constant communication via phone and email. On the big day, Peter and Josh and the crew were super attentive to us and our guests. The food was such a hit that our guests kept talking about it for days after the event. To this day, we still crave for everything on our menu because the food was scrumptious. KG Fare's check went beyond our expectation and made sure everything we talked about during the food tasting was incorporated on the actual event! We would work with KG Fare again in any future events that requires catering! Thank you!

While looks are important, for the actual product (food and delivery) to be such high quality is very rare and they always deliver. Alex has amazing taste and styling skills when it comes to design details. She is extremely professional to work with and her team is super friendly and reliable. AD Catering is truly unique from any catering and planning service I have ever worked with before and anyone would be so lucky to work with them!!

Red Oyster USA 

5.0

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

We are a boutique catering business, specialized in Oystertaining people. Our Oystertainers open fresh oysters on the spot while entertaining your guests. The oysters come from carefully selected oysterfarms in the Northern East coast of US/Canada. With their outgoing personality, our Oystertainers know how to persuade almost anybody to eat oysters. The founder, Matijn Wijn, started the company 20 years ago in the Netherlands. He is driven by a passion for oysters and when he introduced Oystertainment® it was an overnight success. We also run oyster bars at world leading art fairs like Art Basel and TEFAF. Let's Oystertain you!

If you have the opportunity to book Red Oyster USA for your event you 100% should! First off the booking experience was above and beyond with customer service, answering all of my questions promptly and with ease. My husband and I renewed our vows on a rooftop in New York City December 30. My husband and a lot of our guests enjoy oysters so I thought this would be the perfect addition to our reception! We had the pleasure of having Sophia as our Oystertainer for the evening. She was AMAZING!!! She was extremely friendly and helpful! I was not much of an oyster person before, but she had me try them a couple of different ways and I did find one that actually worked really well for me. If it wasn’t for her knowledge and guiding I probably would’ve never tried them and now I am a fan! The Oystertainer was really another amazing staple to our evening and I am so glad we were able to book them. I would book them each time I had an event if I was given the opportunity, I highly suggest you do the same!!!! You won’t regret it!!! Now I will have to wait until they expand to Oklahoma (hint,hint) to book again!

Chef’s Culinary Journey, never in my life have I had food this good. The food was out of this world, we loved the organic farm-to-chefs-to-plate concept. I am still getting calls from family members and friends stating that my wedding was the BEST wedding that they have ever been to. If I had to go back and re-plan my wedding, the first thing I would do is book Chef’s Culinary Journey again. They’ve been awesome collaborators and contributors in helping us realize our vision.

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!

My wife and I really loved working with Melody and her team and we are so glad that we chose her for our wedding. All of our guests loved the food and service was handled perfectly. The food and service was a big reason that we loved Eventfull, but Melody also went above and beyond to help us throughout our wedding planning process. Our venue had very strict rules and Melody very carefully and professionally helped us meet every guideline and catered to all of our needs and preferences. She also helped us find rentals, wine & liquor, and put together our seating plan for the venue. Whenever we had any questions or requests we would always get a prompt and thoughtful response. We were amazed by how helpful and knowledgeable Melody was. We probably would not have been able to plan our wedding without her. All of our guests told us that they enjoyed their meals and unlike many other weddings, they had generous portions and were able to get drinks without a long wait. We had a lot of requests for our dinner and hors d'oeuvres, whether it was due to our own preferences or guests' dietary restrictions, and Melody helped us put together a delicious, and unique custom menu to fit our needs. Selecting Eventfull to help with our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in our planning process and we would highly recommend Melody + Eventful to anyone!
