We would highly recommend Juste Hors D'Oeuvres for your wedding or event. We reached out to several caterers before choosing Juste Hors D'Oeuvres and it was a decision well made.From the beginning, Marylyn demonstrated a level of professionalism and dedication that set her apart. Unlike other caterers, she took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and budget constraints during an initial call. Throughout the planning process she was attentive and quick to respond to communications. She took care of rentals and offered valuable advice for the floor plan and timeline. She welcomed us into her home for the tasting - which was delicious. We had a lot of flexibility in creating the menu with her and she was mindful of our budget throughout the process.Day of - Marylyn and her team were amazing. Everyone was SO pleasant and organized. The setup, set down, coordination, and execution of the catering went smoothly, requiring little direction from us. The cocktail hour included plenty of spectacular hors d'oeuvres and drinks served promptly. Everyone had great things to say about the dinner! Juste Hors D'Oeuvres was very mindful of our guests allergies and dietary restrictions.In summary, Juste Hors D'Oeuvres, led by Marylyn and her fantastic team do a great job and really care about you and your event.

Marylyn at Juste Hors D'Oeurves was an incredible help in planning our wedding. They are more than just a caterer - they are truly a partner in planning your wedding! Marylyn went above and beyond to help us in a unique venue situation with a first-time venue - she spent a lot of time with us and with the venue coordinating all of the details. She was extremely communicative and responsive throughout the process. She created a menu that was perfect for us (I am gluten free, so she found ways to incorporate that for me!) I also really appreciated that Marylyn was conscious of our budget - she was great at recommending ways to save, while also calling out things we would definitely need given our venue. I would highly recommend Marylyn!! She is the best.

Marylyn worked WITH us and helped plan through the details of our day. She kept our vision and budget in mind and offered great advice and creative solutions — we appreciated her honesty and transparency. Response time was good, this woman is on top of it.The menu had wonderful variety and tasted great — we especially loved the stuffed mushrooms and salmon steak bites.We received so many compliments from guests for the staff. They are so friendly, kind, and attentive. Aside from that they ran our day efficiently and accurately. It’s easy to see they are a team that works well together and knows what they’re doing.Bottom line: Marylyn and her team are great, very reasonably priced, and will make your day a deliciously memorable one.

Juste Hors D'Oeurvres was simply fantastic. I threw a surprise party for my mother in her home. When they arrived, perfectly on time, all my stress went away. Fun and sweet and open, the staff generously and calmly set up the party and truly helped us make it feel like a PARTY. The food was AMAZING - everyone asked me about it all night. The way the staff made everyone feel comfortable and cared for, including my mother when she arrived and found all these people in my kitchen, was truly beautiful. The party went on without a hitch. The team was so flexible and again, just fun. So grateful!!!

I am deeply disappointed and angered by our experience with Juste Hors D'Oeuvres's catering. Our event was marred by numerous issues that I feel potential customers should be aware of:Communication Difficulties: Engaging with Marylyn became increasingly challenging as the event approached. Not only was she often rude, but she also stated she would charge us additional fees if we reached out to her via email or phone a month before the wedding day. This restriction only permitted us one final call before the big day, making coordination and addressing of concerns nearly impossible.Service Shortcomings: Due to the limited communication, a significant oversight occurred during our event. Even though we had both red and white wine at our disposal, they were not served to our guests, who were restricted to only cocktails throughout the night.Pricing Inconsistencies: We were blindsided when we received a rental proposal from Marylyn a mere 4 days before the wedding. The costs presented were substantially higher than initially quoted. When we approached her about this discrepancy, Marylyn informed us that the order had already been placed and was non-refundable, leaving us with no choice but to accept the escalated prices.Final Payment Discrepancies: To our dismay, the final bill was almost double the original proposal. New charges seemed to be continuously tacked on without clear justification or prior intimation.In conclusion, our experience with Juste Hors D'Oeuvres's catering services was riddled with challenges and unexpected complications. I would advise prospective clients to exercise caution. The lack of professionalism, transparency, and communication made our journey stressful and disillusioning.

Marylyn and her team provided a superb experience. Marylyn gave us a tremendous amount of help, advice, and experience as well as coordination with the rental vendor which frankly would have been impossible for us. It was clear within minutes of meeting her that she knew how to plan and execute on a wedding. Day of, the staff arrived and were friendly, responsive, and kind. Every dish prepared for our wedding was outstanding in quality. All the food was ready on time as well, and we were free to have fun. I couldn't recommend this company enough!

Everything about our experience with Juste Hors D’Oeuvres was amazing. Let me tell you, they are so much more than just hors d’oeuvres! We had an extremely personalized experience for our wedding, down to a menu that was built from scratch to fit our budget’s needs and express who we are as a couple, to an individualized tasting with Marilyn that left us so excited for the final meal, to the day of, where Marylyn and her team were so on top of everything, and our guests wouldn’t stop raving about the food! We had a brunch style wedding, so when people are raving about smoked salmon and brioche french toast, I can’t imagine how divine a a full sit down dinner would taste! I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome of our day, and I highly recommend Juste Hors D’Oeuvres for any event.

We couldn't have had a better experience than working with Marylyn and her talented team at Juste Hors D'Oeuvres! Marylyn worked closely with us to design a menu that reflected our multicultural relationship and ceremony, and the guests raved about how delicious the results were.She also went far beyond that in helping our planning - visiting our home to help us figure out how to best use our space, taking responsibility for managing our rental contract, and connecting us to other vendors of exceptional quality.On the day of, her staff were both highly professional and a pleasure to interact with. They gracefully handled all of the unexpected surprises the night held, and were super friendly and accommodating for all the requests coming from us and from our guests.A good example of how attentive and friendly the Juste Hors D'Oeuvres team was is that they prepared plates of appetizers for my wife and I, just to make sure that we had the chance to relax and feed ourselves (it's easy to forget when things are so busy)!We couldn't recommend them more highly.
Marilyn and her staff catered our party on 7-29-23. Their professionalism was exemplary. The food was outstanding, servers, bartender Jill, and Manny her chef were extremely pleasant , kind, and made the party better. From start to finish they took care of everything so we can relax and enjoy our guests and party. I highly recommend Juste Hors D'Oeurves and Much More, LLC for everyone!

Marylyn and her Staff are the most professional, versatile, talented event planning team we have experienced."We reached out to Marylyn for our sons graduation party which was a unique event. With the myriad of option on the internet its hard to decipher the truly best caterers from the just average but after just one phone call we knew we had a professional reliable person in Marylyn. For us the party was an “in between”, not quite a wedding so it needed to be more intimate, personalized touch but we still needed all the services of an event planner from parking to bartending to setup and breakdown in addition to great food. Well Marylyn and her staff did not disappoint. The one thing we appreciated the most was the versatility of the menu. We were very impressed with the choice such as the pulled pork meatballs and Vegetarian Thai Spring Rolls which were big hits. The second most notable aspect was the professionalism and courteous nature of the entire staff. This was a large family event and it was important to us that everyone felt comfortable around her team. They fit right in, were extremely friendly, personable and down to earth while maintaining focus on their respective jobs bartending, parking cars or cooking. We are so glad we found Marylyn and plan to book Juste Hors D'Oeuvres again for family events. Thank you so much!Tom and Amanda, Southport, CT

Thank you Marylyn to you and your team’s absolutely elegant, tasteful, classy approach to and execution of our double graduation party - and for helping me plan it from the start! The food was unique, delicious and beautifully prepared. Your team was professional and warm. Everyone had a wonderful time and we loved every minute. We look forward to another event in the future!

Marilyn and her staff from Just Hors D'oeuvres were just phenomenal. This past weekend we hosted a celebration of life for our family member who recently passed away and they made our lives so much easier that day as well as the days leading up. In the days/weeks before celebration Marilyn worked with us to make sure that we had everything that we wanted. On the day of the staff was on time, efficient, clean and so so thoughtful. They made sure that we ate even though we had a lot on our minds and our plates that day. Our beautifully sunny day turned into a rainy one and they coped extremely well with having all of our guests inside and also in and out of the kitchen. The bartender was fantastic and served our guests with a smile and also made us some extra for after she was gone. Overall our experience was great and we would definitely recommend these wonderful people for any event you may have coming up. We will 100% be using them again in the future. ❤️

Just wrapped up our wedding two days ago and I am still glowing and beaming with happiness. It was such a special day, everything I imagined and better, and all of this was made possible by Marylyn and her team, who went above and beyond for my wife and I. Our venue turned out to be smaller than I thought, but that didn't stop Marylyn from doing the most. Did I mention this was a gay wedding, hosted by the brides who knew nothing of weddings? Marylyn was so respectful and catered exactly to our needs, everything from budget to schedule to even hosting responsibilities. The food was amazing (everybody raved about the duck breast that was on the menu), the setup went incredibly smooth (again, she worked with a small Brooklyn venue) and everything was beautiful. And even more the big day, she was so thorough with her communication and planning, I cannot thank Marylyn and her team enough. Thank you, thank you, if you ever have an event that needs to be catered, contact Marylyn and her team now!!!!
