I cannot sing this company's praises enough! We heard about them through a friend who was thrilled with her wedding catering through JAN NYC, so we booked them to do my bridal shower. We were so pleased that we had them do our engagement party. Now they are doing our wedding! Nick Miller, the head of the company, is your point of contact, and his awesome personality will make you feel so at ease. I didn't have to lift a finger for either event, really. I told him some basic ideas for a menu and theme, and he ran with it. He had so many great suggestions to give in keeping with my vision. He's extremely thorough and plans everything out to the tee. We were amazed at how seamless and perfect everything turned out, considering we ended up making last minute changes and adding 15 extra people last minute! Most importantly, the food is delicious and the presentation impeccable. I was very impressed with the creativity! The guests were raving about the food from both events. There is a very big selection to choose from...and it is great that they so versed in simple comfort food as well as fancy cuisine. Nick is now doing my wedding because I know I'm in the best hands. He has been in the catering field for many years and I trust his expertise. Weddings are stressful and there are unpredictable factors when it comes to planning. Nick's organization and attention to detail is honestly keeping us sane while we plan this big event. He has been in contact with our other vendors and even got us a discount! I can't recommend highly enough. I will be back to give feedback after our wedding!

      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..

          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 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!

                    About wedding caterers 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?
