The team at Encore Catering did an amazing job catering our wedding on June 29th at the Morris Museum in Morristown, NJ. Our guests raved then and continue to rave now about the food and the desserts. The service was exceptional. The team pull this off without any hiccups. It was so much more than I expected. Shout out to Pam and Susan for taking care of us and ensuring everything was perfect. I would recommend these guys any day of the week. ❤️
We recently held a fundraising gala using Encore Catering. Not only did they take care of the food but also the various rentals we needed. It made it so much easier for us. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. We had a few particular food requests which they were able to accommodate. Susan Silberman was a pleasure to work with. A wealth of knowledge and resources. Encore Catering was outstanding in every aspect.
Susan at Encore helped us plan for our 100-guest wedding at 18Label Studios in Montclair, NJ. Encore is very familiar with the venue which made the day-of service seamless. Every single member of the staff was kind, attentive and professional. We loved our bridal party attendant Pam, she took such good care of us all night long. The food was so delicious and exceeded our expectations! In the days and weeks after our wedding we kept getting rave reviews from friends and family. Our favorite items were the taco bar, buffalo chicken pop, French onion soup pretzel bite, Mediterranean station especially the salmon and falafel, and the short rib. The bartenders did a delicious Paloma, margarita and espresso martini for us. Yum!
Absolutely the best! We just used encore catering for our daughter B’not mitzvah and it was fabulous. Susan is a pleasure to work with, as is Michelle who was on-site at the party. My champagne glass was never empty! All our guests loved it and raved about the food. We would definitely use them again for another party.
I work for a nonprofit that recently hosted a special event at the Morris Museum and for the second year in a row, used Encore Catering for our dining, set-up and bartending needs. First of all, their food is AMAZING. But beyond that, they are the most professional, calm, kind and capable group of people who truly love what they do. Susan the head waitress was incredible and bartenders Roger and Bill are simply the best. We can't say enough about how happy we were using this company and if you have the chance to work with them, do not hesitate to sign that contract. They made it 10X easier for a very small nonprofit office to pull off a seamless fundraising event that people are still buzzing about. Thank you, Encore Catering!
I attended a wedding yesterday catered by Encore. I have to say I’ve never had tastier passed hors d'oeuvres and desserts! And their wait staff was phenomenal! They served tray after tray of a variety of culinary delights, always with a smile. And other wait staff were at the ready to take away used picks, napkins, glasses, etc. I can’t wait to recommend your business to anyone I know who needs an exceptional caterer!
I cannot speak more highly of Encore catering - 5 stars is just not enough! Encore catering did our rescheduled wedding in a backyard August 2021 and from the initial email, Sandy was fantastic to work with! She was warm, responsive, provided great recommendations, and was very patient as we made a number of changes! She even came out for a site visit which really made us feel comfortable! The staff came onsite like a well oiled machine and took over the kitchen with German like precision and the food was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! We did a cocktail style reception and people are still talking about how creative, fun and delicious the food was! The staff was professional, attentive, and we did not want for anything!Thank you for everything and we will definitely be calling Encore for any future catering needs!
The best cater we have had in a very long time! Amazing service and delicious food! Thank you

I cannot say enough good things about Encore Catering. We had an amazing experience with them under a very stressful situation. We had to find a brand new caterer for my daughter’s 150 guest wedding with less than two months lead time. We worked with Sandy who was AMAZING. She was so knowledgeable, service oriented, and a calming force. I cannot say enough good things about her. She provided valuable insights, worked with us to create a fantastic menu, handled all of our rental needs and worked collaboratively with the venue to ensure everything was perfect. As last minute curve balls arose, she calmly addressed them and kept us apprised via amazingly prompt emails and phone calls. Encore’s food is outstanding. From the cocktail hour's plentiful passed hor d’oeveres (that never stopped they kept coming and coming!) and beautiful stations, to the artisitic and yummy salad, to the main course entrees and passed mini desserts, everything was delicious. Besides being delicious, Encore’s presentation is BEAUTIFUL! The staff that worked our event were all super courteous, professional and service oriented. Two weeks later, our guests continue to rave about the food and service Encore Catering provided. I highly recommend them without any reservation, you won’t be disappointed. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
We first met with Encore more than 2 years ago. Because of COVID we had to reschedule our daughter’s wedding twice. This weekend we held the wedding and our guests raved about the quality and presentation of our food. Encore had a challenge. Our food was made in their kitchen and prepped and heated on site. Despite this situation, the food was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. We had several “foodies” at the wedding and they were very impressed. The staff were courteous and very focused on meeting, and exceeding, our expectations. Special shout out to site manager Andrea. You defined exceptional service. Thank you for taking care of our family and guests!! Few people expect good food at a wedding. Our guests were pleasantly surprised!
Thank you!
This was the first year I did not cook Thanksgiving dinner! Because of COVID I had lost my sense of smell and taste for a while so cooking wasn’t much of an option. I have used Encore many times to cater a party, but for a holiday this was a first! Everything from the way it was packaged, directions to heat, food quality, and portion size was amazing! They did an absolutely outstanding job and I will now be using them for many more holidays! Boy does it make cleanup much easier too!! Thank you!
Food was nothing special considering the price. Not very creative expected more from a chopped winner.
