We booked the Culinary Curate for an intimate buffet style wedding celebration this summer. No rainy weather could have ruined the experience. Charmaine and her team made sure every guest had a wonderful time. From the early planning days of timely communication to clean up time following the event, Charmaine and her team’s execution was exemplary. Aside from delicious food, we were treated like family. Charmaine was assertive and professional when she needed to be as well as creative and accommodating at the time of the event. Thanks for such a memorable evening!

Tavola Charcuterie

We love creating luxury charcuterie platters that allow you to gather your friends and families, enjoy the food and create unforgettable memories. We hand select every item that goes into your custom board and take so much pride in our curations. We believe in using only the freshest and finest, local ingredients. We specialize in customized charcuterie platters, corporate orders, grazing tables, and classes. Rest assured we are licensed and insured.

I used Tavola for our backyard wedding ceremony. They were on time, the food was fresh, the presentation was beautiful and a huge hit. I was concerned that I ordered a large spread and we would have so much left over. It turns out it was mostly gone by the end of the night and it was the talk around the table. I went ahead and used them again after that for some work functions and they never disappoint.

Krave Events Caterer 

5.0

  • Serves Maplewood, NJ

We are all about our handcrafted kitchen. From soups to dressings, sauces to desserts, we handcraft menus bringing together flavor and culture, in recipes, old and new. We are passionately committed to offering the freshest ingredients available and love to source local when our season allows.

Krave truly made our wedding special. My wife and I connected with Kate during the 1st call, when we were just shopping around. When then did a menu tasting and were impressed by the personalized menu, the extremely friendly staff, and how delicious the food was. After talking to over 5 other caterers, we still felt like all of them lacked the individual attention, care, personalization, and wide variety of food options that Krave provided. After we booked with Krave, when began looking through extensive menu options, scheduled a 2nd tasting to try more food, and asked a TON of questions to Molly, who was so patient, kind, accommodating, and wonderful throughout the process. Kate and Molly helped my wife and I through every phase of planning, from our seating chart/floor plan, working through our guests allergies, to even decor pieces we planned on having. Kate and Molly alleviated our stress and fears and truly helped guide us for just about a year. If we weren't impressed by the planning process, we were even more impressed with our wedding day. Kate and her team were at our venue early making sure everything was well, and setting up additional decor items (at no extra cost) and it looked AMAZING. Kate and her team helped set up our food stations and bars, and it looked better than we could've imagined. The team was so quick with handing out food, professional, and friendly. Kate ensured our families allergies were taken care of and she even hand delivered food items to my mother so she didn't have to second guest what she was and wasn't able to eat the entire night. Her husband Rich was the bartender for our wedding and the drinks were also amazing. Our family still raves about Kate and the Krave team, 2 months after our wedding. We truly couldn't be thankful enough to Kate, Rich, Molly, and the entire team at Krave for how well they took care of us, and how special they made our wedding.

To start let me say I've been in the food industry for a long time a good portion of that being in the carering/wedding industry, and coming from experience i knew how stressful planning a wedding would be. My wife and I decided to go without a planner and do it ourselves. I have known Georgio for many years and when it came time to plan the wedding there was no question on who I was having cater the event. I've always known him to be very adventurous and passionate about his craft but never to the extent that he generously showed my wife and I. Georgio and his team guided my wife and I through all stages of the process with ease and made us feel as comfortable as possible during the planning. Now the event itself was truly outstanding, he and his staff were so professional, hard working and meticulous. When it comes to a wedding your guest will forever remember two things the music and the food, now my music was absolute top notch the food stole the show. A family style feast was prepared for my guest and let me tell you I'm still getting calls and messages about the food. So to sum it all up LuShe'ann catering should be at the number one spot on your list for future events.

Purslane 

5.0

  • Serves Maplewood, 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.

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.

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.

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Maplewood, NJ

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.
