I hired Chef Ellen for a dinner party that I was hosting for 20 people, and she absolutely EXCEEDED my expectations. From our first call about planning the event, to the event itself, Chef Ellen was fantastic. She has such an impressive rolodex of appetizers and meals she can prepare, and she worked with me to customize a perfect menu for the evening. We chose 5 hors d'oeuvres, and she surprised me on the night with two additional ones on top of the five we'd chosen! Every single appetizer was delicious. From there, we did a sit down dinner that included a soup (amazing butternut squash), salad (the best salad my guests have ever had - who knew a salad could be that life changing!), and then guests had a choice of filet mignon or arctic char for their main course. Both main courses were so thoughtfully prepared, perfectly cooked, and the presentation for everything was stunning. On top of that, there was a mini pizza delivery crisis for my 5 and 7 year old nephews who were over, and Chef Ellen graciously offered to make pasta for them -- all while preparing a 20-person dinner. What more could you ask for?! After dinner, she also surprised me with mini passed desserts :) Chef Ellen also had brought a server with her, who was professional, charismatic and on top of everything to ensure the night went smoothly. To sum it up, Chef Ellen helped make the night so special, and I was thrilled with all of her hard work. If you're looking for delicious food, beautiful presentation, great service, and a hell of a personality, don't hesitate to book Chef Ellen. I am so glad I found her and am already looking forward to having her back for another event!

We used Shmayley's on 2 different occasions. First in August for my daughter's wedding! Smayley's was the bar for the wedding, the owner Hayley was Hands-On helping both prior to the wedding and, of course on the big day! She created two signature drinks (that were marvelous) that my daughter absolutely loved! Let me just say she made my daughter's day one she will never forget! In October we celebrated an anniversary in which we again hired Smayley's services for the bar, rolled ice cream and her wonderful photo booth options. Let me add, this young entrepreneur has made all both events that we hosted unforgettable. Both with her professionalism and her willingness to work hard she will be at every event we host in the future!

    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.

      We asked Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill to create an all vegan wedding. Their food was truly delicious and it is not easy to make excellent vegan food. The entire wedding experience was made very easy for us. It was very professionally handled. They answered every question. They anticipated our needs before we anticipated them. I highly highly recommend them. We had a truly wonderful wedding thanks to them..

      KGFare Catering & Events

      New York, NY

        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 

        5.0

        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!

          Great Performances

          New York, NY
          • Starts at $1,500

          Great Performances is more than a catering company. The goal of our team at Great Performances is to help you achieve your goals through your catered events. This includes planning, staffing and catering events for clients of all sorts and celebrations of all sizes. From small, intimate gatherings to large, elaborate productions, we bring professionalism, skill and care to each client project. Services provided by Great Performances include full-service, catering, beverage service, service staffing, venue selection, design and special event production.

          When you think of service with a smile, your first thought should be Great Performances. Starting with our initial correspondence with the CEO and Founder, Liz Neumark, followed by a personal call with Shaun Roberts, who took the time to hear about our vision and budget and then followed up with a list of potential venues, we knew this was the company we wanted to work with for our wedding. Shaun quickly connected us with Patty Scull (Director of Simplicity at Great Performances) with whom we developed a close working relationship. Patty and our event producer, Abby, were top notch professionals throughout the process. Patty and Abby’s infectious smiles and the teams’ love for the wedding craft made us feel at home and comfortable on this journey. Throughout the planning process they helped us find and select high quality rentals and supported us throughout the whole experience. On top of that, the food was amazing!! We went with a buffet style event and it exceeded our expectations. It was nothing like the buffet that you picture in your head. It was beautifully crafted and artfully staged. Not only was the food clearly made of fresh and high quality ingredients, but made with care. The short rib was juicy, the mashed potatoes were velvety, and the desserts were fantastic. Nobody at the wedding went home hungry, that's for sure. Not only that, but the team at Great Performances made sure to wrap up the small amount of leftovers for us to pick up the next day which was a nice touch. The wait staff was kind and helpful throughout the event making sure to cater to our guests needs and to take the time and make plates for us when we didn't quite have the time to do it ourselves. We would highly recommend Great Performances for any wedding or event. Their team is wonderful and their product is next level. We are so grateful we chose Great Performances for our wedding! We can’t imagine having gone with anyone else!

We enjoyed getting to know them and felt very taken care of. They remained attentive and communicative in the months leading up to the wedding, answering any questions right away. At the wedding, our guests were delighted by the food, and I’m still hearing praises of it a month later. Our guests had a wide array of tastes and dietary restrictions, but we easily found something for everyone (see our menu in the photos!). Don’t hesitate to hire MAHFY for your event!
