50 Best Caterers near Livingston

“There are simply not enough words to describe our joy and gratitude for having our wedding at Crystal Plaza. From the moment we stepped into the Grand Ballroom, we knew without a doubt this was the place. It is hands down the most stunning ballroom we have ever seen — elegant, timeless, and unlike anything else.

The entire team at Crystal Plaza was a dream to work with. Their professionalism was unmatched, and they clearly listened to and respected every request we made. The service throughout the process, and especially on the wedding day, was absolutely first class. Both the bride and groom were given personal attendants who took care of us every step of the way, making sure we had everything we needed and could simply enjoy our day.

The food was phenomenal — even the “basic” offerings are first class and provide everything you could possibly want. Guests raved about the quality, variety, and presentation, and we felt like we were treated to a true fine-dining experience.
Beyond the ballroom, the ceremony space was just as incredible.

The glass-ceiling atrium created a naturally lit, romantic environment that made for the most beautiful ceremony. The lighting throughout Crystal Plaza — both in the ceremony space and the ballroom — is also top notch. Having a dedicated lighting engineer added a whole new dimension, transforming the ambience and elevating the entire experience.

The day-of experience was out of this world. Everything was seamless, elegant, and beyond anything we could have imagined. We will forever be grateful to Crystal Plaza for making our wedding day not just beautiful, but truly unforgettable.“

“Great food and great service. Going back next week!!!!“

“Livingston Bagel catered a lunch on Thursday for 20 people for my Mom #BerniceSturtz 90th Birthday! We had their man Abe as Mr. Everything- chef, set up and clean up. He was professional and charming. A gem. Ask for him by name! He was a two-fisted omelette maker. They were delicious! And appropriately priced. As always-perfect bagels and salads and made to order omelets. Thank you LB and Abe. Judy Sturtz Karp and Bonnie Romberg“

“Nana's is my go to place for sandwiches, back yard parties, and I hade my 78th birthday party in the new beautiful room. Jason and his staff did an outstanding job. The room is beautiful. The food was (of course) delicious, and the service provided by the staff was excellent. Needless to say I LOVE NANA'S“

“Seafood pimps was the best decision I could had made to celebrate my 56th birthday. I decided to purchase the Nexf ix & Chill. First the presentation was SUPERB. The crabs, mussels and shrimp were FRESH and DELECTABLE. The vegetables were seasoned to perfection. least of them all the amount that you receive is enough to feed a full size family, and we only ordered for two. I will definitely be back. I recommend Seafood Pimps to anyone that enjoy fresh mouth watering seafood.“

“Hands down, one of the best venues in New Jersey!
We’ve had the privilege of capturing countless events across New Jersey and New York, and The Grove in Cedar Grove continues to stand out year after year. It’s always an honor to document celebrations at such a breathtaking location — where elegance meets excellence in every detail.

What truly sets The Grove apart is its outstanding service and the attentiveness of its staff. Every event is flawlessly coordinated, creating an atmosphere that’s both seamless and unforgettable.

To the entire team — thank you for always taking such great care of your guests and us vendors. We can’t wait to be back capturing more incredible moments at The Grove soon!“

“Good afternoon FBF. Well I got about 2 hours of sleep and I am back at it again! I actually saved the most important thing that set this party aside from others... The biggest shout out to THE HANOVER MANOR. I want to thank the following individuals who made EVERYTHING possible for our events (Even our church's 180th Anniversary) Kudos to Angelo, John Tsanakos & Steve, all the staff and the maître d's for both occasions, I cannot thank you enough for all the accommodations you made that made each event spectacular. So if anyone needs a place to have an event, whether its your parents or your anniversary, weddings, birthday parties, family reunions or hell even a divorce party, I recommend The Hanover Manor in East Hanover, NJ located at 16 Eagle Rock Avenue. They are very reasonable. I appreciate Angelo, John & Steve because they appreciated me - no matter what! That is how a true business is ran. So hats off the everyone at The Hanover Manor. You have my vote for a few more celebrations in the near future! 🥰❤☺😄“

“We recently hosted our baby shower at The Loft in Montclair, NJ and it was truly an incredible experience. From start to finish everything went smoothly thanks to the amazing team especially Te’Niijah and A’tasia. The space itself was beautiful modern and spacious with a great layout that worked perfectly for our event. One of the things we really appreciated was that they provided tables and chairs which made planning so much easier. It’s a great setup and the venue is very well maintained. Te’Niijah and A’tasia were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional friendly and always accessible whenever we had questions. They offered helpful recommendations and made us feel supported throughout the planning process. You can tell they genuinely care about making your event special and stress free. On the day of the shower everything went off without a hitch. We were able to enjoy ourselves and be present with our guests while knowing that everything behind the scenes was being handled. We’re already looking forward to rebooking The Loft for future events. Huge thanks and major kudos to Te’Niijah and A’tasia for their incredible work collaborating with us and our vendors. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue and team to anyone planning a special celebration.“

“If there were more stars to post then 5, Michelle's Catering would definitely receive a Perfect 10! Michelle and Anthony were so easy to work with. Michelle took care of EVERYTHING. She accommodated special requests and made suggestions that worked very well for my event.

I held a bridal luncheon for my daughter mid August in my backyard. The food was amazing! Every guest commented on how delicious everything was; salads, sandwiches, the hot dishes and quiches; all wonderful! I can't forget the desserts! Perfect serving size for those trying not to over indulge but love a little sweet.

I can't thank Michelle's Catering enough for making my daughter's day a perfect event.“

From the moment we reached out to them, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident, ensuring that our event would be nothing short of perfect. The menu they curated for us was outstanding. Every dish was not only beautifully presented but also incredibly tasty. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the variety and quality of the food. The grilled veggie platters were fresh and flavorful, the sandwiches were generously stuffed and impressively large, and the fruit platters were an absolute delight. Special mention to the Sloppy Joe’s Platter, which was a huge hit and had everyone coming back for seconds! Beyond the food, the team at Giuliano’s went above and beyond in their service. They were prompt, courteous, and truly attentive to our needs. Their staff handled set up seamlessly, allowing us to focus on the decorations and last minute details. They also took special care to accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, Giuliano’s Catering Company exceeded our expectations in every way.

“Incredible food every time! My family and I are obsessed. 10/10 would recommend! Joshua cooks a wide variety of cuisines and works with our dietary restrictions. He has a real passion for food that comes through in every dish. Always delicious with great service too. Also, ask about his hot sauces!“

“Connected with Domenick from a colleague’s recommendation to use his services for a professional network event I was hosting this week. From start to finish, working with him and his team was a total breeze. He is polite, courteous, and straightforward and provides clear directive and recommendations. We booked DR Catering for passed hors d’oeuvres (including desserts!) and mocktails for our event, and I was thrilled to learn that he also handled furniture rental. The team was so professional and friendly. Our event went so smoothly thanks to the talents of Alejandro, Ricky, Lily, and Eloy who were staffed for the evening. Domenick made a top notch menu recommendation and I had 0 changes and loved every bite I took! The food and drink were plentiful and we had lots leftover to take home and enjoy again. I must have drank 12 of the spicy mojito mocktail. I absolutely recommend DR Catering and will be more than happy to use them again when we are in need of their services!!!“

“The Great Wazu is the reason small businesses are the HEART of a community. I am a soon-to-be small business owner myself. I walked in this place tonight like I do every 1-2 weeks to get dinner. Sara behind the counter has gotten to know me and ALWAYS remembers my order. Tonight, she asked me what was new, and I told her I had been upset all day worrying about all the stuff I have on my plate right now getting my business ready to open. She was the sweetest. When I reached for my credit card, she told me my order was on her and gave me a hug and said, "You got this." It was one of the most human experiences I've ever had, and I just want everyone to know how special this place is. It's not just the sandwiches. It's the kindness.“

“The cocktail hour was the best in the United States. Everything was fresh and top quality. The service was excellent, very attentive and polite. We had a choice of five entrées. Everything was delicious when it comes to desserts they didn’t stop it seemed like they wouldn’t stop bringing more and more. The cocktail room and dining room. Spotless I wish I could give Parks Savoy 10 stars.“

“Chef Clinton cooked a wonderful 3 course dinner at our home for my wife’s birthday. He’s a delightful person and an amazing chef! The food was beyond delicious and when it was all over, he had scrubbed the kitchen clean. It was an incredible experience and worth every penny. We’ll definitely be asking him back!“

“Hot Pot Caribbean restaurant is the place to go when your taste buds are calling for a good Jamaican dish. Highly recommend!“

“Such a fan and handsome owner.“

“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. ❤️“

“I had the Mushroom Oyster Burger 🍔 and I’m not Vegan but wanted to try something new………. It was absolutely AMAZING!!! Actually I usually never finish my food but I ate every bit of that sandwich…… if you haven’t checked them out you definitely should you won’t be disappointed 😁“

“First time popping in and I will be back!
Chef Loryn’s worked perfect for my needs last week, which included multiple meals to go. I got the strawberry chicken salad (made fresh for me), meatloaf, Mac and cheese, sautéed vegetables and 2 crab cakes.“

“The best service and dishes in the area! Of all the towns nearby, I've had catering from a handful and Cheryl's team delivers above and beyond, better than anyone else. I can't wait to order again for our next event. Thank you for your amazing food and excellent service!“

“What did it take for our small wedding reception to be completely worry-free? Drew and The Fruited Plain Caterers! Having an outdoor wedding reception on October 19 on our back deck could have been "hit or miss" because of the uncertainty of the weather. But Drew connected us with the right rental company and the heated tent was AMAZING! With 25% of our guests being vegetarians we needed a caterer who could deliver deliciousness to all our guests. Drew totally hit it! We opted for a family style luncheon and got raving reviews on the quality of the food. From the first contact email 12 months ago, to the last dish put away on wedding day, we felt we were in great hands with a consummate professional. Drew was flexible enough to accommodate some of our special requests, and because we were dealing with the company owner, decision-making was straight forward. His servers were professional, efficient and friendly. My kitchen was probably cleaner after they left than it was before they arrived! And if all that wasn't enough, honesty and integrity were also a key aspect of our working with Drew. He caught a staffing level mistake on our final invoice and personally delivered a refund check for the amount we had overpaid. Now THAT's someone I will be working with again, and recommending without hesitation to all my friends!“

“100% The food is so fresh. My family had Thanksgiving and Christmas catered. The taste of the food is so very Good. The meat was so tender it melts in your mouth.“

“Had a beautiful baby sprinkle upstairs in the yellow and blue rooms and everything was wonderful! The food and tea were delicious and Jenna was so detail oriented and easy to work with, definitely book a party here!“

“Oh man… where to start. The service was phenomenal, great recommendations, great atmosphere, the owner, Ms. Dana greeted us with a smile, Nikki the manager was great to deal with. Now the food… I had the special, “The Gobbler” and it was unbelievably tasty. The crunch from the toasted bread, the flavors all together were a symphony on my taste palette. My gf got the “Toni Ann” and she couldn’t talk while we were eating together because she wouldn’t stop stuffing her face. After she said the chicken cutlet was cooked perfect, mozzarella was fresh, peppers were exquisite. Overall experience was just mind-blowing. I’d recommend Ferraro’s to any person, local or travelers, you NEED to stop and eat here.“

“We feel so lucky to have had Judy cater our wedding (Masker’s Barn, 90 guests). I had never had anything catered in my life and Judy was so patient addressing all of my questions. All the food looked and tasted delicious. Among the guests' favorite dishes: Mini potato pancakes, honey glazed salmon filets (my favorite), stuffed shells with marinara sauce, oven-roasted baby potatoes. Judy was also able to accommodate my last minute requests for gluten free servings. Her staff were efficient and proactive and the way they arranged my mom’s desserts made her so happy. We look forward to working with her again!“

“My husband and I weren’t into the idea of wedding cake, so we went with wedding donuts! From start to finish, Lauren was incredible to work with. Not only are her donuts ridiculously delicious, she was super accommodating and always quick to respond when we had any questions or concerns. She even let us borrow a donut wall and stands for the big day! Whether you want to treat yourself or have something fun and unique for a special event, Lauren and her donuts will not disappoint😊“

“Anthony and his staff were very easy to work with. He cooks with pride and it shows. The food is excellent, especially the pasta Bolognese and Graffiti salmon. The hors d'oeuvres were the highlight of the party, the mac & cheese crocks, the kobe beef sliders, coconut shrimp, just to name a few. The wait staff was very personable and pleasant. The buffet stations were set up beautifully. I highly recommend Creativa Catering and look forward to using them again.“

“Going to the Hot Tuna concert last night at the Wellmont with my son and stopped in for pizza before the show. The pizza was out of this world! Great crust, toppings were all quality and the staff was great. The owner Joe was friendly and place was going.“

“Best restaurant. Staff is great, food is great and prices are good. I'm from Montreal, Canada and everytime I go to New Jersey its a must that I eat at Top Knotch restaurant.“

“Awesome staff and great sandwiches!“

“Lovely food and good people“

“Catered this food out for my bridal shower. The prices were very affordable and the dishes were delicious! At a point I realized 2 of the entrees were missing and I called them to let them know. They dropped it off in 10 minutes! Amazing! Great service and communication. Would definitely“

“I eat out on a regular basis since my children moved out of my home a few years back and this is the only home cooked food spot that has been consistent with flavor, seasoning, pricing and portions. Comparing to other soul food places that I've been to, and I've been to PLENTY, this is hands down the #1 place with the best consistent home cooked food. you gotta taste Lola!!! You will thank me later, I promise you!!!“

“My favorite catering place of all time. I’ve used them for Corporate Events as well as personal and I cannot rave about them enough. I’ve tried so many of their dishes and not only has everything always been delicious the presentation is beautiful. From appetizers to main dishes to desserts and even Sandwich and Salad platters Maggie Cooks impresses every time. Love this place!“

“We came here to celebrate a family members birthday and I have no cooking skills at all, so I was surprised by how much fun I had taking this class! The food was amazing and chef D made it an amazing experience. Super excited to come back again and I learned a lot“

“They are the best. Food is amazing. Just plain great food. Love the broccoli rabe and sausage sandwich!“

“We just had a Summer Soirée which was catered by Ome caterers! The entire experience was wonderful! I can’t say enough about the sublime food, the professional staff (shoutout to Ali for all the help in planning and to Josh for his amazing managerial skills at the party)! The rest of the staff was equally professional and wonderful! Josh made sure to check in with me throughout the event and they were set up and ready to go on time! The food displays and fresh flowers elevated the atmosphere and was a perfect foil to my white party theme! The fresh raw bar, cheese display and the slider selections were phenomenal! The desserts were exceptional! They even provided a delicious gluten free dessert for those guests with gluten sensitivity. Everyone had a wonderful time! I would give them 10/10 for the entire catering experience! Josh made sure to leave some food for us as I never eat at my own event so we enjoyed the food the next day! We’ll definitely be using them again for future events! I look forward to trying all their menu options in the future!“
