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 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!

Stuf'd 

5.0

  • Starts at $65
  • Serves West Hempstead, NY for additional fees

As a kid, Rebecca could be found in the kitchen cooking with either her Mom or Grandma. Traveling to Albany was always a treat, as her favorite dish to eat was Nan's French toast. While studying at NYU, Rebecca came up with the concept of STUF'D to fulfill the need for a savory French toast, as it was yet to be done. She decided to start the business as a food truck in 2016, as a way to keep her brand more mobile. Since then, we have evolved into a full-service catering company, offering a variety of sandwiches, sliders, and cocktail bites, and serving events that range from weddings and birthday parties to large-scale events!

Stuf'd really went the extra mile to make our wedding special. The team provided thorough, individualized attention every step of the way, allowing us to feel at ease knowing the food would be exactly what we were hoping for. They even came to view the space well in advance of the wedding to make sure the day would run smoothly. Our guests could not stop raving about the quality of food, which struck a perfect balance between casual and formal. We're very grateful to have worked with such a talented and dedicated catering team.

AAA Royal Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $400
  • Serves West Hempstead, NY

HOW IT ALL BEGAN As a child the best times were our Family Gatherings. Every weekend we would meet at one of our relative’s house where Our Family would meet for huge dinners and all types of special occasions. Ever since I've been recreating that atmosphere. My first jobs were working at a bakery, restaurant, catering company and butcher shop. In 1982 I started my business AAA Royal Catering. Today 39 years later with the help of my wife, children and dedicated staff we continue to bring Long Island the best in food and service. We welcome the opportunity to serve you.

AAA Royal Catering catered my wedding January 31, 2024. Mr Tony Responded to my inquiry promptly with a full breakdown of each item I requested and the price. He gave me great advice on what I would need based upon the number of guests. They arrived on time, the food was fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious. Everyone was asking where I got the food. AAA Royals professionalism is commendable and very cost effective. Thank you AAA Royal for making my special day even more memorable.

ONTHEMARC Catered Events 

5.0

  • Serves West Hempstead, NY

OnTheMarc is a contemporary, full-service caterer with extensive experience in off-site catered events. Marc Weber and his team of Chefs, Event Coordinators and Managers bring an ardent passion for food and service to each and every event. Seasonal, bespoke menus are OnTheMarc’s signature foundation for an inspired and impressive gastronomic experience.

As soon as we visited On the Marc for our food tasting, we knew that the food would be fantastic—and more on that in a minute—but OTM really set itself apart with the service. They greeted our guests with flavored waters when they arrived (hugely helpful for a mid-summer wedding), had servers ready with drinks and food as soon as cocktail hour started, prepared an appetizer platter for a quick private moment as newlyweds, and much much more. A few things stick out over all though: first, the servers were so attentive that they realized a friend of mine was absolutely smashing one of the appetizers and kept bringing those to her (even learning to take the mint leaf off as she did). Second, they rolled with the punches as we realized we may have screwed up some food placards, accommodating our request to check with each guest to make sure we had it right. Third, they had servers march out all at the same time to bring courses during dinner services, a super-professional touch which gave the service a white-glove-service feel. The food was delicious, and everyone kept commenting on it (even on the dance floor where they brought desserts!!). Overall, the food was amazing, the only thing better than the food was the service, and we highly recommend OTM to anyone considering them!
