We hired Keith and Aiyana to cater a small meeting for church workers. I recommended using them because of great service in the past. This catering couple are always friendly and professional. The food arrived when expected and ready to serve. Everyone raved about the meatballs and all the food was delicious. I only wish I'd ordered more because it all went so quick even though there were other dishes to choose. I particularly like that many of their menu items are unique and you can customize some things if you want.

Krave Events Caterer 

5.0

  • Serves South Orange, 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.

We LOVED working with Krave so much for so many reasons. We got married at the Conservatory at Sussex County Fairgrounds and they do most of the weddings there, and the whole day went so smoothly. First – the food is AMAZING. You get so many options and such a variety of food. Everything was so delicious. When we went for our tasting, we were blown away by how good everything was. We loved that they have the more traditional options, as well as options that are more unique. Everything we tasted was so good and they were so helpful with recommendations. The cakes are so delicious also! We heard so many compliments from all of our guests about how the amount of food was perfect and how delicious everything was. Second – the service leading up to the wedding. They really helped us make decisions about honestly everything. They gave suggestions for the amount of alcohol to order for our guest list, recommended florists for the look we were going for, and helped us decide on timeline for the cocktail hour and reception. They also provide the linens and we rented pillar candles and the glasses from them. We had multiple calls before the wedding which were informative and really got us excited rather than stressed, because we knew we were working with an expert vendor who also really cared about our vision for the day and how the day went. Finally – the wedding day itself. Kate is so amazing to have with you on the day of your wedding. She is so energetic and kind. The team set up the rooms so beautifully and watching it all come together was breathtaking. She was always making sure both us and our parents had drinks, she made sure that we ate and brought us so much cocktail hour food to the bridal suite after the ceremony so we could just have a moment alone and try everything. They also packed up food for us to bring back with us so we could try everything if we didn’t get a chance to, which was so helpful because we didn’t have to worry about grocery shopping when we got back home. I am a very anxious person so I barely ate that day, so I was so grateful to get to try everything. I was so appreciative of her coming to get us to make sure we ate because I probably wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for her. They also brought fruit and snacks to us while we were in the bridal suite. Kate was also working with our day-of coordinator through the Conservatory and the DJ and MC to make sure everything was running smoothly based on our conversations with them and that was so helpful, too – we really felt like we didn’t have to worry about anything that day because they had such great communication. Finally, all of the staff was so wonderful. They always made sure we had what we needed, and our guests told us afterwards that all of the staff was very positive and kind and really went above and beyond. The value you get from working with Krave is so high – not only delicious food, but an ally along the way and a stress-free wedding day!

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.

Don’t overthink wedding food! Go with what you know! On the border did an amazing job at my wedding, from the food to the service. I did a taco bar with chips and salsa, and it was perfect for us. They arranged delivery with my coordinator, set up tables, kept food warm and cleaned up. The food tasted fresh and honestly way better than I imagined for tacos! I decided on them based on the price, as it was a lot cheaper compared to other local catering. So I was extremely impressed with everything!

La Mila Catering & Events

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
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.
