Chef Ellen and her team delivered delicious food for our wedding on May 1st. My husband and I had spoken to other caterers who seemed to want to tell us what we wanted our wedding to be like, but Chef Ellen listened to us and enthusiastically created a menu that checked all of our boxes, including dietary preferences and restrictions. We had a tasting at our home and once we tasted the food, we knew we picked the right caterer. Our guests agreed. It didn't go unnoticed that our food options were anything but the regular wedding fare. We wanted a Mediterranean vibe for all of our entrees and Chef Ellen and her team delivered. As the venue was outside, she worked with her preferred rental vendor, Big Dawg Rental, and ordered all of the equipment needed for the catering operation, keeping me in the loop and checking in on cost. She identified cost savings by asking if I wanted to order some items outside of rentals, which I did on occasion. We hired the serving staff from Renegade as well and they did a great job. I highly recommend Renegade Outpost for a unique catering experience. We definitely received what we wanted.

Thanks to Tracy & George and their staffing team, our wedding day was far beyond what we ever dreamt of!!!! I will rewind back to when I first emailed Tracy about our wedding catering inquiry. She was super responsive and able to get us in for a tasting ASAP. We instantly were drawn to Platinum Party Planners because they offered a variety of catering packages and we were able to pick one that suited our budget. A lot of other caterers were firm with their pricing which is stressful! During the food tasting, Tracy sat with us to discuss our wedding day vision and took thorough notes while George cooked & served us the food. Because I did not have a "day of" planner to setup all my DIYs/decor, she said not to worry and her team would handle it (ummm AMAZING!!!!!!). At the tasting, we were blown away not only by the taste of everything, but the gorgeous plating! Everything was absolutely beautiful and screamed high end, even with our limited budget. We had our wedding at RGNY Riverhead and initially they wanted us to choose a caterer from their exclusive list. Tracy went out of her way to meet with the managers/staff at RGNY and thanks to her high level of professionalism and expertise, they allowed us to proceed with using Platinum at our caterer!!! Prior to the wedding, Platinum assembled a whole timeline/order of events for our wedding day (with my approval of course!). Fast forward to our wedding day, Tracy NAILED our decor instructions, food was delicious, and the staff was awesome!! Platinum also made up menu cards for each seat, UNREAL!! Tracy only approached me ONE time the whole wedding day and it was only to say hi and congratulations!! This showed me she had everything under control and didn't need my input on anything. Once the reception ended, the team thoroughly cleaned up and took care of disposing all the garbage. All this to say, I truly could not thank Platinum Party Planners enough. Tracy & George went above and BEYOND to make me the happiest and most stress-free bride in the world. I will forever look back on that day as the happiest day of my life. Love you guys, you are absolute PROS!!!!

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!

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Cento Percento 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

The phrase "cento percento" was born in the heart of Florence, Italy with the simple idea of bringing Tuscan style food to New York. It has since evolved into an experience like no other, including traditional antipasti, hot and cold main dishes, panini and decadent desserts, including pastries and soft serve gelato. Fresh ingredients and tradition are a reflection of Italy's love and passion for serving only the finest foods to their guests. At Cento Percento, we strive to uphold that tradition and provide you with a 100% (cento percento) unforgettable experience.

I hired Cento Percento for several events for my clients and they were amazing to work with. The food is top notch and the service was impeccable. The staff understood the clientele and listened to my ideas and accommodated. They are very professional and a fun group to work with. I plan on using them whenever I have the opportunity.

Hearth & Table 

5.0

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Jess’ passion towards food comes from growing up in a bi-cultural and bilingual home where life revolved around the kitchen table. As a Peruvian, Irish New Jerseyian, she spent most of her childhood in NJ, as well as Lima, Peru. Seeing such different worlds gave her a sense of belonging to a global community. Her travels began first to Peru, visiting family, then to Europe and Latin America where she lived in Spain, studied in Italy and worked in Mexico. The inspiration for Hearth & Table is to bring us back to the table. Everyone understands the concept of breaking bread. Her hope is that Hearth & Table will help everyone experience it.

Hearth & Table was an exceptional catering choice for our wedding. From the start, their communication was direct, consistent, and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was outstanding - the food was delicious, creative, and perfectly captured the warm, eclectic vibe we were going for. Jess went above and beyond to meld our two cultural backgrounds through the menu she presented us. The end result was a meal that left all our guests raving. We're so grateful to Hearth & Table for helping make our special day truly unforgettable.
