Recently had a church event at 2 Shea. Staff service, food and ambiance were terrific! But what impressed me even more was the honesty of the staff. At some point in the evening, my diamond and ruby bracelet came off my wrist! I was unaware this happened! The bracelet was found by the staff and they contacted the chairman of the event who recognized my bracelet and it was returned to me. Whoever found that bracelet could have slipped it in the pocket but they didn’t!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your honesty. This bracelet has great sentimental value! Highly recommend this venue for ALL your events. They are the best!!!

We had the most amazing experience with 2Shea. From the beginning, they were easy to work with, plan, and execute with for our big day. Deanna was FANTASTIC and was wonderful to work with. She was always transparent, helpful, and provided years of knowledge to help us with decisions. Catherine was also great at keeping us on track and wonderful to work with too! The tastings were amazing and we highly recommend going to both options: the private and grand tasting. On our wedding day, they had plates of the passed apps waiting for us with champagne and His/Her drinks. They kept us fed and hydrated for our wedding. The food... it was phenomenal. The steaks were cooked perfectly, Fish was fantastic, Chicken and Veggie dishes were also amazing. Our friends and family keep raving about the food saying it was the best wedding OR general catering food they've ever had. And, we agree! :). The dessert station was a hit. Everyone was gushing over the donuts, cupcakes, brownies, and cookies after our wedding. Don't look any further, book 2 Shea and you will have a magical and delicious wedding. We're looking for other excuses to have 2 Shea cater for us in the future :).

Look no further than 2Shea for your wedding catering! We used 2Shea for our September 2024 wedding in Windham, NY and could not be happier! The food was DELICIOUS and the drinks were tasty and strong! Our guests left our wedding happy and full. Catherine was so helpful and sweet, and made sure we had everything we could possibly need on the wedding day! Thank you 2Shea!

2Shea was amazing to work with and our guests absolutely loved all of the food! We need to specifically recognize Deanna and Catherine for making our day stress free and everything we could have hoped for! Both women really put our minds at ease and we could not recommend them or 2Shea more for any couple!

A wonderful family-owned & operated catering business! There is a reason 2Shea is widely recommended by so many other wedding vendors... They truly care about their couples, are extremely reliable and of course, serve delicious food! Our wedding guests could not stop raving about the food! Everything was perfect and many who ordered the filet mignon said it was the best they had ever had (wedding or not). The craziest part about that is our venue (the Sablewood) did not have a kitchen on premises so 2Shea had to bring a mobile kitchen. I was super impressed that the quality is not affected at all!

It was great to work with Deanna and Catherine who were very patient with my many emails and questions. We also really enjoyed the planning process, particularly attending to the tasting events which are such a fun activity to enjoy with your spouse & family. Highly recommend 2Shea to all future brides!!

2 Shea catered my baby shower over the weekend and I cannot rave enough about the experience! The food and service were both the best in the capital district by far. Absolutely delicious. Incredible staff. Highly recommend!

We were initially a bit nervous about the food for our wedding, given some challenges our venue had, but Deanna quickly put us at ease. She was attentive and accommodating from our first email, offering tastings of their extensive menu options, from main dishes and stations to cocktails. Choosing our courses was tough because everything was exceptional! On the wedding day, Deanna and the team were superb, dressed professionally and serving with smiles. She ensured flawless setup and smooth operations throughout. We're immensely grateful to 2shea — guests raved about every dish and drink. 1000/10!

2Shea's team far exceeded all of our expectations. They were active and supportive during the preparation leading up to our wedding, assuring every detail was double-checked and every bit of nervousness I had was addressed. They curated the most magical cocktail hour that our guests continue to talk about months later. The timeline of cocktail hour, dinner service, dessert, and late-night snacks went smoothly and left all our guests raving.
We would pick 2Shea again 100 times over. Our day wouldn't have been as perfect as it was if it were not for 2Shea's team. It goes without saying that the food they produce is phenomenal, but what makes 2Shea most special is the quality of their service and the people you will work with. Book them for your event, you will never regret it!

I just used 2shea catering (out of the Italian American community center venue) for my sister in law’s bridal shower this past weekend. Not only was the venue beautifully set up, the staff was exceptional and ensured that everything was perfect from start to finish. The food was fantastic. We chose items from the “garden party” menu and everything was delicious. Fan favorites: garbage breads, the cornbread Turkey sandwiches, the passed cucumber and Boursin cheese bites. Thank you for assisting in making this day so special for my sister in law. If you are looking for catering services for an event or to host an event - 2shea should be one of your top choices on your list.Thank you!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 2Shea’s for any event.When my father died in 2023, I contacted 2Shea at the Italian American Community Center (as it was known at the time) to plan our memorial gathering. I worked with Judy and her staff to plan the memorial gathering.From the first time I talked with Judy through the entire event, my family and I were treated with compassion, kindness and graciousness. The service was EXEMPLARY, the staff accommodating and helpful (even when I dropped a chicken parm on the carpet).I am planning a 50 year HS reunion and am contacting 2Shea to see if they have the availability to accommodate our group.

2shea catered our wedding in May and we loved our experience with them. Deanna and Catherine were hands on, communicative, and flexible with us the whole way through. We truly felt like the entire company was as committed to our day being great as we were. Highly recommend!

Steven Kane

Absolutely a delight to work with from the start. Deanna was extremely responsive and thorough throughout the planning and goes above and beyond expectations. The staff was amazing at my daughters wedding and the food was outstanding. Highly recommend them!

2Shea Catering is one of the best in the business! The enthusiasm that they have for each of their events and clients is clearly shown in all that they do. They radiate professionalism and are always a pleasure to work with! We highly recommend!

We got married about 6 months and we are still hearing about how delicious the food was. We can’t thank Deanna and Jesse enough. They made our day flawless. Deanna was so easy going and Jesse was relaxed and made sure our glasses were always full. The bartenders were amazing and the rest of the staff was perfect. I have no complaints. We already are trying to figure out when we can have 2shea cater for an event for us again.
