We hired chef Ellen/Renegade Outpost to provide all the food for my son's large engagement party in a cocktail lounge. They were so easy to deal with, unobtrusive when preparing and serving in a place that was not totally intended for such service, and everyone commented on how delicious and creative the food was! We felt very fortunate to have found them!

MR HOSPITALITY 

5.0

New York, NY

    Our team has the expertise and resources to make your wedding day a true reflection of you. Besides food & beverage services, we specialize in the following: venue scouting, planning + production (partial or day of coordination), event staffing, speciality rentals + A/V, and entertainment scouting.

    We couldn’t have been happier choosing Mr. Hospitality for our wedding planning, coordination, and design services. From the beginning, Mario and his team stood out with their blend of professionalism and personal touch, making us feel truly supported. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and flawless execution exceeded all our expectations. When we started looking for a coordinator, we spoke with eight companies. Our priorities were simple: someone affordable, organized, and easy to communicate with. With demanding jobs and limited time, we needed a team to handle the details, allowing us to focus on our big day. While other companies were professional, Mr. Hospitality was the only one that checked all the boxes and added a personal touch that set them apart. From the start, Mario’s genuine enthusiasm made us feel at ease. It was like catching up with an old friend who was excited about our lives—our two cats, how we met nine years ago, and even our plan to walk down the aisle together. He remembered these details in every follow-up, showing a level of care that made us feel truly special. As planning progressed, Selina joined the team with her organizational skills, vision, and positive energy. She brought detailed floor plans, timelines, and vendor coordination materials, even taking the time to review our Pinterest boards to understand our design preferences. Kiara, our day-of coordinator, joined closer to the event, bringing a calming presence while keeping everything on track. On our wedding day, their expertise was evident. Kiara met us at the getting-ready location, tissues ready for our first look, and drinks and hors d'oeuvres in our suite after the ceremony. She knew when to step in and when to stay in the background. Selina transformed our venue, blending last-minute Amazon decorations with stunning rental pieces like the ceremony arch and lighting features. She worked seamlessly with their trusted vendor partners, ensuring everything came together beautifully. They didn’t just arrange flowers—they elevated our vision with high-quality elements and professional touches that made the space feel cohesive and uniquely ours. A standout moment was during family photos when emotions were high. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, we could simply say, “Kiara has the list,” and trust her to guide us. Later, when we needed lights dimmed for the dance floor, they handled it without a hitch. Even when the cake was delivered to the wrong location, they ensured it arrived perfectly. After the event, their thoughtfulness continued. When they picked up our items a few days later, we found a handwritten card with personal moments they cherished from working with us, along with a Polaroid from our first dance, humorously labeled as the “paw-rents” of our cats. A few weeks later, Selina recognized one of us at a company holiday event and came out to say hello, making it feel like reconnecting with an old friend. This is just one more example of the care and thoughtfulness they bring to their work. If you’re looking for a team that combines expertise with heart, Mr. Hospitality is the one. They not only made our wedding day unforgettable but also made the entire planning process a joy.

    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

    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!!!!

After reconnecting with the Dish team, in particular speaking with Evalyn, we couldn't have felt more confident that it was the right fit for our big day.

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

      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.
