East End catered our wedding in Riverhead and they were the absolute best! Joanne and Chris were so lovely to work with and they were the reason our wedding was perfect and ran as smoothly as it did. They were a preferred vendor for RGNY and it was a no brainer to book with them. We were nervous about having to bring in an outside catering team but working with East End was so seamless and ended up being the best thing for our wedding day! They did it all — food, bar, staffing, setup, breakdown & provided all dishes/glasses/cutlery which allowed us to keep our wedding in budget. The most important part — the food was absolutely delicious! They have a large list of food to choose from and are willing to work with you! From our first tasting, we knew we made the right choice. We chose their trilogy option for dinner which gave each guest chicken & steak on the plate with fish passed around which was so helpful for the timeline and gave guests more time to enjoy the party. All of our guests are still raving how perfect the filet mignon was and how it cut like butter.
We also wanted to give a special shoutout to Jane, our day of coordinator, and Danielle, our maître d'. We hired Jane through East End which was so helpful during planning since she already worked so closely with the team and she was so familiar with RGNY. They set up everything impeccably & efficiently and were on top of the timeline to ensure my husband and I had the best day. Jane is so hardworking and hilarious and we had so much fun with her! She is also so patient as I was definitely a crazy, detail-oriented bride and she made my dreams happen.
We have this team to thank for our perfect wedding day, great logistics & flow, and for the delicious food. We definitely recommend them for your big day/private event!

I had the best experience working with Chris and Joanne from east end events catering for our wedding on 9.5.2025. The food was absolutely amazing, I am vegetarian and was nervous when looking for a wedding caterer but they went above and beyond with everything. They were super communicative, always responded very quickly, gave good recommendations for our wedding, and made the best food I have ever eaten. My husband and I worked with them for almost two years planning and preparing and Chris and Joanne made everything beautiful for us. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding caterer and if I could rate higher than 5 stars I would. We also used their horse trailer which was a huge hit with our guests! For cocktail hour, they served espresso martinis from it and during our reception they repurposed it into a cigar bar. It was adorable!

It’s hard to keep this review brief because I can’t say enough about my experience for my daughter’s wedding with East End Events. Having an off premise wedding at your home is a daunting endeavor for anyone that has considered it or been there. From the get-go I was thoroughly impressed by Chris’s enthusiasm and creativity, and knew from recommendations that we were in good hands. Chris captivated us with his creativity and delectable culinary expertise. His ideas were truly unique and he followed through with outstanding food, service, and an event that literally brought tears to my eyes and so much joy to my heart. Joanne kept everything in check, and was always available for scheduling and anything we needed in between. Jen our Maitre d blew us away with her warmth and attentiveness. She had us in awe with her meticulous delivery of everything we wanted and more. All the staff, each and every one was a delight, their kindness and eagerness to please was outstanding to say the least. Thank you East End Events I’m beyond grateful for everything ❤️

East End Catering recently provided catering for my wedding and we had such a wonderful experience with them. The food and service was outstanding and they were with us throughout the entire night making sure that all the details of the night came together so smoothly. Would recommend to anyone looking for an amazing experience!

Couldn't recommend enough. Best Service. Our daughter's wedding was just Saturday, June 28th. Joanne and Chris were awesome. I don't think any guest had any to say other than the best wedding ever and raved about the food. They catered to a barn in Riverhead. The number of helpers was great, and no one had to wait for ANYTHING. Everything went flawless and the help were nothing but professional and helpful. Everything was OUTSTANDING. They were over the top.

Absolutely loved East End Catering for our North Fork wedding. The food was fantastic, all of our guests were complimenting the food. Chris and Joanne are wonderful to work with. A special shoutout to Lisa. the maitre d, who worked as our Day Of Wedding Coordinator as well. She was absolutely integral to our day running smoothly. From rain planning to last minute changes, Lisa handled everything with grace and a smile on her face. We are so appreciative of the whole catering team, and was impressed with everyone. Would highly recommend!

I cannot recommend east end catering enough for your wedding or any event in general.
My husband and I had our wedding at the Vanderbilt museum and the day would literally not have been possible without them. Jane and chef Chris are so good at what they do and work so well under pressure. They executed the day seamlessly and we were told by multiple guests that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. The cocktail hour was out of this world and the trilogy for the reception was perfect.
Book east end catering for every single one of your events! They are the BEST!

I don't know how to begin to express how incredible Chris and Joanne are. My original wedding caterer cancelled less than one month prior to my wedding for 150 people at a venue that required complete customization. Every chair, tray, fork, knife, etc. I was required to bring in and my wedding simply wouldn't have been possible without them. They truly go above and beyond to make your day incredible, and most importantly stress free. The attached photo shows Chris literally wiping the floor during a band break. Their staff set up all of my beautiful tablescapes, welcome stations, etc. Chris also set up my entire ceremony after an issue day of with the rental company. Aside from how above and beyond they went, the food was incredible. I married an Italian so my guests take food very seriously and the positive feedback was resounding. Chris and Joanne truly saved my day and blew every expectation out of the water. We are immensely grateful to have found them!

We loved working with Joanne! They're by far the most affordable option out there, as the per person cost includes everything, even tips. We paid extra for a day of coordinator, Jane, and she was an angel sent from heaven and well worth it. The food was excellent and they made our day so much smoother.

Can not say enough about everyone at East End. We recently were married at Brecknock Hall. Joanne really made us feel special and took the time to go over the menu in detail. The food was fantastic!! The staff the day of the wedding were professional and accommodating. They made everything easy.
Absolutely fantastic. Chris and Joanne are wonderfully kind people and their team did an excellent job. They made certain that we had everything we wanted and were able to accommodate all our requests. Jane our Maître d' was also excellent and took great care of us and our guests. Could not recommend more strongly.

Chris and Joanne, where do I start? They make you feel like family. C&J went above and beyond for us – because of course we had a little pickle thrown at as 5 months before our wedding day. C&J helped us find a new venue, made sure that we remained calm (well me… my husband is as calm as they come), and was just there for us. Chris and Joanne are professional and such kind hearted people. PS go out and try CJs American Grill in Mattituck its honestly amazing.Food… East End Caterers: their food is absolutely amazing. I wish I ate more. Everyone and I mean everyone loved the food. Cocktail hour was amazing – they set up a few plates for us to eat in our bridal suite which was so nice because as soon as we went to cocktail hour it was chatting and picture time with everyone. The food was honestly so delicious. Passed horderves were to die for, cocktail hour tables were set up so amazing and delicious, action table phenomenal, dinner trio was so good, and the dessert came out amazing as well.Jane – our day of coordinator. I don’t think I could have remained as calm if she wasn’t right by our side. It rained (briefly) and we had to decide if we wanted to move the ceremony inside – Jane just let me know everything was going to be alright. Weather right after the drizzle was gorgeous. There were a few other hiccups with different vendors and Jane was right there to help every step of the way.All staff- all staff members at East End Events are kind and professional. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew

Chris is amazing! We’ve used EE Events Catering multiple times, most recently for a bridal shower dinner. His service was perfection! Locally sourced ingredients with a beautiful presentation. He’s also hilarious and a joy to work with. Absolutely recommend!

JoAnne and her husband are true professionals at what they do. With very little notice they put together a wedding we only dreamed of. We selected a menu and did not have to worry about anything else. Their staff was top notch and Jane the Maitre’D was keen on the little details making our ceremony and reception perfect. Our guests went on and on about not only how great the food was; but how the service and coordination was better than the best catering halls they have been to. It doesn’t get any better than them; they go above and beyond to ensure you have smile during the planning of your event and very long after. Cannot say enough how much they meant to the success of our day.
