Exceptional experience working with Susanne and Joe! From the initial inquiry email to all the communications, every aspect of it was flawless. Susanne's professionalism and attention to details was exactly what we needed. The food was *chef's kiss* We received countless compliments from our wedding guests! Wedding planning was undoubtly high stress but we're so thirilled to say that our experience with LCI alleviated much of that pressure. We highly recomend them to anyone looking for top-tier catering services.

LCI Caterers was incredible!!! We were so proud to have them cater our wedding. The food was phenomenal, Joe and Susanne were present and supportive, and all the staff they brought on were kind and and attentive to our guests. My now husband and I are both gluten-free (celiac) and dairy-free so we are not the easiest to cook for, but they made sure we had more than enough delicious food to enjoy. When we did our tasting we were both blown away by our GF/DF versions of the food and knew if that was the case, our guests would be in awe of their food as well, which they were! In addition, I can't even begin to describe how helpful Joe and Susanne were leading up to the wedding. We had what felt like a million questions along the way and they clearly answered every one and offered us such helpful guidance. Of all our vendors (and there were MANY as we were married in a completely raw space), LCI Caterers was the absolute creme de la creme.

Music and food were definitely a priority for our wedding and Joe surpassed any expectation we had in regards to the food and open bar. The process of setting up at the venue was seamless, the food was to die for and the open bar was a success. Joe and his son went above and beyond to make my wife and I happy in every sense of the word. They are so incredibly thoughtful and they truly care about the customer service they are providing. You can taste the passion they have through their incredible food. Everything was so delicious, and everyone at the venue had only great things to say. A text from one of my bridespeople:"Please save the caterers number. Maybe someday, someone will want to marry me and I can look forward to that chicken again :)"We had the angel hair pasta - SO GOOD.Chimichurri steak - AMAZING.Chicken and chorizo - WOW.Slow roasted pernil asado - LORD JESUS!Arroz moro and vegetables - JUST FAB.Open Bar - A1.You guys truly made an impact. Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

LCI catered our wedding and we're so happy we went with LCI! They were wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning process and the day of the wedding! Not only did my husband and I enjoy the food, but our guests commented how much they enjoyed the food as well! Joe went out of his way to make sure my husband and I had the food we wanted throughout the evening, which made it easy to eat at our wedding!

We hired LCI for our wedding at the W Loft. Joe and his team were absolutely fantastic! Professional, kind, attentive, you name it! The food... seriously the food! We had Joe make us a taco bar for the wedding and our guests have not stopped raving about it. We had one small snafu when we ran out of alcohol (we ordered the alcohol ourselves) and Joe's team came to the rescue and ordered more on the spot. Our night ended with churros in to-go bags and our guests were just thrilled! Thank you for making our night so special.

My wife and I envisioned this gourmet taco bar for our wedding and LCI Caterers couldn't have done a more phenomenal job bringing it to life. Everything was so delicious and I regret declining one of the servers' offer to make us a plate of the passed hors d'ouevres. People kept talking about the chicken and waffle sliders, which I didn't get a chance to have. Sad.Beyond the food, LCI Caterers provides outstanding service. We vastly underestimated how much people would gravitate toward the signature cocktails (jalapeno pineapple margaritas, btw) and ran out of tequila within 45 minutes. Chris was like, "Don't worry, I'm on it" and sent someone to the liquor store before people even realized.LCI Caterers did a perfect job and I couldn't recommend them enough!

We could not be happier with LCI Caterers, we used them for our wedding in Brooklyn of 125 guests. Joe's food was incredible (received so many compliments, some saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had!) and he and his team were so helpful in getting things ready day of. We were a little disorganized and Joe jumped in at every chance he could to lend a hand, even helping us when we got locked out of one of the bride/groom suites. He helped with some last minute cake decorating adjustments, and probably did so many more things day of I (the bride) don't even know about. The whole team was smiling, helping, and celebrating with us the entire event. Susan was amazing with all my questions (of which there were many) leading up the wedding, answered in the speediest fashion every time, and was so informative. What a wonderful team!! So many things come included with the price, hors d'oeuvres, linens, glassware.. which is so hard to find! And we got all our rentals through them, so easy to just have all in one vendor. Could not recommend them highly enough.

Joe and his team are AMAZING! We had an 80-people wedding and Joe’s son was there as the main chef. When we did the food tasting, the food was so good, especially the homemade pasta, simply incredible. All of our guests love the food at the event.And they are super professional. We chose LCI because they were on the venue’s recommended list. Everything went super smoothly, the building manager knows them, and they know the venue inside out. We didn’t have a wedding planner or coordinator since we had a really simple schedule. It turns out we don’t need one! LCI took care of everything, the setup, the breakdown, etc.I also want to mention that they put down some of the appetizers for the bride and groom at the main table at the beginning of the night because we were just too busy greeting people and had no time to eat food. That was such a thoughtful touch. We are so thankful for Joe and his team!

We had an overwhelmingly positive and satisfactory experience with LCI as our wedding caterers. I found them to be incredibly flexible - we wanted a mostly vegetarian menu for our wedding and Joe and Susanne were happy to accommodate - we even converted some entree ideas to appetizers and LCI handled it. I was impressed by their setup presentation - our wedding was at a rooftop venue that was also a soccer facility, and LCI arranged the lounge into an unexpectedly tidy and upscale buffet. Last but not least, Joe and Susanne were a dream to work with from the start. They were clear and friendly in all of our communications, and on the day the entire staff was warm and professional. Joe worked our wedding, and made us plates and saw to it that we were taken care of. You can tell they are proud of their work and it really reinforced the joy of the occasion. We’re grateful to LCI and would recommend them without reservation to anyone planning a wedding in NYC. It was also a great value for 100 guests!
I was an extremely nervous bride who had no idea what I was in for with booking a venue that needed all vendors to be brought in separate. Joe and Susanne made every step of the way comfortable, enjoyable and overall, an extremely positive experience. They worked with me on my budget and changes and were there to support. Not to mention every single person complimented the food to me about how delicious it was. I cannot recommend this family business more!!! You will be in AWESOME hands!!

We used Joe and the LCI team for our wedding a couple weeks ago. We were so happy with them from start to finish. They had so many options, they let us try so much at our tasting, they were very reasonably priced, they were professional and incredibly helpful. My husband and some of his family members have Celiac disease, and they were able to accommodate us very easily - providing many gluten free options. We ended up providing our own alcohol and using LCI’s soda bar option, and their bartenders served our alcohol, including two custom cocktails. They assisted us with all our additional table rentals, and everything went very smoothly day-of thanks to them and their staff. Susanne, who helped us with all the admin work, was without a doubt the most responsive vendor we worked with for everything wedding related, which was incredibly helpful! We would recommend them to anyone getting married in the New York area.

We couldn't have more great things to say about Joe and LCI Caterers. We had the pleasure of chatting with Susanne in the planning stages and she was incredibly helpful, communicative and friendly. At our tasting, we felt like we were sitting down with good friends and they made great suggestions - not only to the food itself but the timeline, alcohol and general run of show. On the actual day of the wedding, Joe himself showed up several hours early and his team was ON it. We got married at the Greenpoint Loft and they clearly have this all down to a science. They made sure to keep myself and my husband's glasses full the entire time and brought us our meals and made sure we eat (which was much appreciated!). Thank you so much, Joe, Susanne and the entire LCI team!

LCI did my son’s first birthday BBQ, it was great, they came with a charcoal grill, set up and grilled for 4hrs, and provided all the sides! My guests were extremely happy and everyone was full! There was plenty of food for guests and left overs. My friend hired them for her daughters baptism and the food was delicious!!! Joe and his staff are awesome!!!
