50 Best Caterers near Montclair

“My husband and I had our 40th birthday here this past weekend. We worked with Te'Niijah and she was great! At this venue, you must expect that you have to bring almost everything yourself except tables and chairs (and the provide black linen if that's the color you're going for which worked out for us). They also have 4 small black couches and 2 coffee tables you can use. They also provide a small stand alone bar. We added 3 regular tables around it to make a larger bar since we had 100 people. You should plan how much time you will need to set up vs clean up when figuring out your party time slots. We did a cocktail hour turned nightclub, hired bartenders and waitstaff (from John Claude Catering - who I would highly recommend!) and had no issues with set up time or clean up. JC staff took care of most of the clean up. I just had to get everything out by the time I promised I would be out by, which wasn't an issue. The space was exactly what we were looking for, exposed brick with that lounge vibe. We loved the long hallway before you entered - there is so much you can do with the space. The staff set up 2 tables in the hallway around 10pm (our party was over at midnight). One table was for cigars and the other was for McDonalds. It was a nice surprise that no one can see until they left the main party room. I tagged The Loft on IG so you should be able to see the rest of the set up from there. I would highly recommend having a party here! We loved it!“

“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.“

“The Best 🌟🌟🌟🌟 reminds me of my Nona and PopPop’s house every Sunday.“

“So much to offer. Great people, great events, great food. What more to ask for!“

“We had my daughter’s wedding at Venetian and we couldn’t be happier!! The food was amazing and the service was the best I have ever had any where!!“

“Crystal Plaza was amazing to work with! The whole team was so kind, easy to work with, and super attentive. They made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free.

Even though they do weddings all the time, they made us feel like ours was special. Every detail was perfect, and the staff went above and beyond to take care of us and our guests.

We’re so happy we chose Crystal Plaza!“

“MAHFY was fantastic for our ~100 person wedding, we had a cocktail hour style reception which provided an array of heavy hors d'oeuvres, along with a grazing station and fruits! The team was very professional and ensured that every guest was fed including my husband and I. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for catering services within the Tri-state area!“

“Great place if you want to have a successful event or a wedding reception. I had my wedding at Mamma Vittoria Catering back in October 2019, and went to some other events organized at this catering hall. Food was fresh and very tasty, and the staff is always friendly and professional. I have had nothing but great experiences with Mamma Vittoria and everyone working there.“

“From the moment of pulling up to the venue i knew the experience awaiting inside was going to be special. The ambiance, the level of service, professionalism and attention to details were all in order. Lavish grounds wrap around the outside with mini gardens embedded. The inside is tasty decorated with just enough without being too much. The food offered during cocktail hr. was steady with each new bite teasing the palate in a very good way. The servers were highly skilled and trained. I was very very impressed. The reception room changed 3 times from cocktail hr to buffet to deserts and cordials each transformed quickly and elegantly again with attention to details. The entire staff and MGMT from valet to chefs and servers deserve a 5 star standing ovation for a perfect performance.“

“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! 🥰❤☺😄“

“This one the BEST rice ball I have ever had!!“

“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.“

“We absolutely love the Kurly Kurdish shop. I had a Kurly kone with cherry vanilla ice cream. This is the best sweet treat. I recommend everyone stop in and try one!“

“In the past year I used Custodi to cater two parties, a Hawaiian Luau and Texas BBQ. Both times the food was delicious! Chris is so easy to work with and very accommodating with what your needs are. His staff took care of everything the day of, very professional. Our parties were a huge success and everyone raved about the food! Thanks so much Chris!“

“We ordered the general tso’s pizza yesterday for dinner and my family loved it. My son ate the last 2 slices for breakfast this morning. The guy who took my order over the phone was very patient and nice. I personally love their food as I’ve ordered many times from them when I was working in Wayne. We will definitely be ordering from now on because my family loved it. I can’t wait to try the Thai chili pizza with fried calamari. Great job Pizza One !!!!“

“As the owner of Arlene Brief Entertainment, I have worked with many caterers, as you can well imagine...but I have never been so impressed as I was tonight working with Chef Kenny Collins and his staff. It was the best & most enjoyable meal I've ever had...Five Stars just isn't enough and I can't wait to work with them again! Bravo, Kenny....not only was the entire meal delicious...you make it into an art form! Jason Craig, my fabulous entertainer, who usually never eats while he's working, couldn't resist tonight..........and that's saying something!“

“I use San Carlo for our company holiday party for the past 6 years. We keep coming back because the service is that good. Food , venue, parking, and especially the friendly and attentive staff. I get so many great reviews on the food from my employees. Why would I go any where else. The staff change in the past few years but service is still great. I refer alot of my family and friends to this gem.“

What truly stood out was the attention to detail, from the elegant decorations to the seamless setup. Gabriel and his entire staff were professional, courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Their dedication and genuine care made our event unforgettable.

Highly recommend this catering service for anyone looking for top-tier food and outstanding customer service. ¡Gracias, Gabriel y equipo!“

“I had dinner here and it's the best ITALIAN FOOD I've had in a long time,SERVICE was great as well.“

“There is a reason Chef Mark and Remarkable Cuisine are the only people I will work with when hosting an event and I CANNOT say enough good things about the entire team, notably Tara who allows you to be the crazy host and is patient and kind and ultimately just wants to make sure you get what you want and are happy with the result. First and foremost, the food is delicious. Second, Tara and Mark really make planning an event a fun and stress free experience. They listen to your vision and come back with menus and presentation suggestions that are perfect. I’ve done everything from big parties to intimate dinners with them and each time has been a delicious culinary experience that my guests rave about. And they are extremely accommodating! Most recent event I wanted a menu that worked for adults and kids - playful but still adult appropriate. They nailed it. We had a perfectly curated menu that everyone loved and the details were impeccable. For our burger bar for example, I asked if we could add some fun toppings to the mix. Chef Mark and Tara came back with a multitude of items for the display and they were a HIT with the guests. Execution was perfect, food was fired throughout the night so nothing felt old or like it had been sitting out all day. The servers were extremely kind and helpful - made you feel welcomed and at home and that is really important to me when hosting in my home. Remarkable is high end, professional, delicious - not your cookie cutter catering. Further, the experience is consistent EVERY TIME (I’ve done multiple events now so I can say this) and really only has gotten better. I like to host and the one thing you just can’t screw up is the food and the service. It’ll ruin a party. So if you want to guarantee that your guests will be talking about the food the next day, and commenting on how extraordinary the service is, call Remarkable asap.“

“The food was absolutely delicious, highly recommend“

“It was a pleasure providing the DJ Entertainment and working with Ira of Foremost Caterers at Wave Hill in Riverdale. Every detail was taken care with the utmost professionalism and white glove care. Plus, the food was absolutely stunning to both the eyes & taste buds!“

“Do you know how hard it is to find a good, reasonable, reliable caterer??? Especially when it's for a work event and everyone is relying on you to feed a room full of hungry employees on a budget?? Well let me tell you, it's not easy! I have used DR Catering 3 times now, twice for large team meetings at work (25 people) and today for our annual team bbq (30+ people). The owner Domenick is responsive, professional and flexible! Previously we used restaurants that also do catering for our work events, and there was always something missing from the order, or charged incorrectly, or just plain screwed up. What I love best about DR Catering is they are not a restaurant that also does catering, they are a caterer and that means they do nothing but catering and they get everything right the first time! My team members have absolutely raved about the quality and taste of the food provided, and there is always plenty of it, they do not skimp! I've told my entire department about DR Catering and I know some of our other teams have used them as well and gave been just as happy with their results! I look forward to continuing to use Domenick's company for ALL our team events! I NEVER want to have to find another caterer! Thank you Domenick, my team and I are so glad we found you!“

“I had to order last minute for my daughter's St. Marys high school teachers appreciation week. The owner was amazing. Not only did he take my huge order last minute...he delivered it in time for lunch for the teachers and staff!!! They loved it. Fresh and delicious....the turkey and provolone ...and Spicy Italian were a crowd pleaser!!! Will definitely order again...and highly recommend ? ? ?“

“If you really want some real authentic Jamaican food this is where you get itBest stew chicken around curry goat and curry chicken will keep you chewing on those bones not to mention the oxtail??? ????????Jerk chicken is a plus plus !!!!!You have to try it and see for yourself and i know you'll agree with me“

“The absolute best tacos in Jersey and probably US. So flavorful and and delicious. This place does Birria Tacos right and the owner is amazingly sweet. Forget 5 stars this place needs 100. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾“

“My boyfriends birthday party was a huge hit on 2/7. The delivery service was great. And the talk of the night was how good the food was!!!. I'm still getting calls and texts about where I ordered all the food from. Big thank you and shout out from chris and I for making his birthday so memorable and special.“

“Always the best service and food“

“Excelentes atenciones y muy lindo personal.👈🏼🤝“

“We have used Daily Catering since the 80's. Yesterday, they catered a party at our home and EVERYONE talked about how wonderful it was. The steak, meatballs, baked ziti, chicken were outstanding. The menu is on their website and with one phone call, it was all set. They delivered and set up on time. Cannot recommend highly enough for any type of party. Absolutely made my function a huge success.“

“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!!!“

“We had our party for 4yo birthday catered, everything was delicious! The meat was soft, pilaf, blini, beef - super tasty. Napoleon for dessert was airy, fluffy and just right. Our guests enjoyed everything, and left full and satisfied 😊“
