I work with Melody and her team, supplying rentals, on 100's of events each year. Without fail, each event goes off without a hitch. The level of communication between caterer and rental vendor is of utmost importance in understanding not only their needs, but the client's as well. This never goes unnoticed. I can say, with full confidence, that Eventfull is one of, if not the most, dependable and reliable caterers/event planners in the tri-state area. I've even contracted Eventfull for a personal event. As anticipated, the event was a HUGE success. Working with many caterers and event planners in the industry, Eventfull was my personal choice given my working relationship with the team and how wonderful they are! Working on each event, whether it is a wedding or corporate function, is always a breeze. I would more than highly recommend Eventfull!

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Serves New York, 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.

This review is a tad long so bear with me. I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024. While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team. I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends. Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely. In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her. Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert. We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated. Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed. Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism. *I wish I took pictures.

      Sweet Basil catered our wedding in September and we were thrilled with them. The food and service were both excellent. My husband and I are both foodies so it was important for us to find a catering company with great food. We found them on-line based on their great reviews. Amy was very easy to work with, and it was clear from the start that the team was interested and excited about creating a menu that was not your standard wedding fare. Our day went off seamlessly and their staff is so nice and had great energy. I'd definitely recommend Sweet Basil

      New York, NY

        Catering in the New York Tri-State Area since 1987 You're not just choosing a menu. You're choosing an experience. People who know caterers choose Thomas Preti for the events that matter. When we promise grilled grouper, that’s precisely what we serve. Grilled perfectly. Served impeccably. We’ve been delighting our clients and their guests for over 30 years. We’ve seen fads come and go. We don’t follow fads. We focus on what really matters. Real food, prepared in surprising and delicious ways. Preti is famous for delivering what we promise, flawlessly.

        After struggling to find a NYC caterer that I felt could execute my vision, I decided to give Thomas Preti Events a call before I settled on someone else. Thank god I did, from the second I connected with Tom I knew I finally found my match. He was professional, down to earth but elevated and got exactly what I was trying to accomplish. After working with him I can now say his food and staff emulate all of that! My guest still rave about my delicious chic food and cocktails. I highly recommend Tom and his team!

        Abigail Kirsch Catering 

        5.0

        New York, 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!

            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!

            Red Oyster USA

            New York, 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!

                About wedding catering in New York, NY

                How much do catering services usually cost in New York, NY?

                Full service catering packages range from $100 to $18,000 and average around $1,500.

                Which are the most popular caterers in New York, NY?

                Some of the most popular caterers in this area include Infuse Catering & Events, Insatiable Eats Catering and JPO Concepts | Catering.

                Do catering packages include serving staff?

                Yes! 40% of packages in New York, NY include serving staff, such as servers and bussers. Many others also include rental coordination, just ask before you book!

                Can caterers in New York, NY accommodate specialized diets?

                They can! 18 offer kosher services and 64 offer vegetarian packages. You can search on Zola for caterers who can accommodate nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, halal and vegan diets as well!

                Are tastings available before booking a wedding caterer?

                Who wouldn't jump at the chance for a sneak peek—or better yet, a sneak taste—of their wedding menu? Most wedding caterers in NYC know that the way to a couple's heart is through their stomach, and they stand ready to put their best plate forward. But do check in with your caterer about how they handle tastings—some offer them before you book (often for an additional fee), while others include full course sit down tastings of their menu offerings for you to select from after you’ve signed a contract.

                What's included in the catering package price in New York City?

                Let’s start with the most important part - the food. Typically, appetizers and a full meal are included in a wedding catering package (and sometimes even the cake!), but costs depend on whether you’re looking for passed hors d'oeuvres and a seated meal with individual entrees, or more of a buffet or family-style setup. The catering package often comes with the essentials, too - think tables, chairs, linens, silverware, and a professional staff ready to cater to you and your guests’ every need. That said, there are a wide variety of catering options available, so it's best to get the lowdown from your caterer directly. Will there be extra charges for setup and takedown? How about a corkage fee? Any chance of a complimentary food truck at midnight? Ask away, because chances are the right caterer will be able to work with you and your budget to achieve your dream culinary vision for your big day.

                How far in advance do I need to finalize the menu with my caterer?

                Generally, New York City caterers appreciate a final menu selection several months in advance of your wedding, and a final headcount several weeks in advance. Why? It's all about ensuring perfection, from procuring the freshest ingredients to coordinating the kitchen staff to ensure your menu is a showstopper.

                What types of caterers are in New York, NY?
