There are no words…to describe how CN Catering is essentially unmatched in their craft. Food is a HUGE deal, folks…huge. We were looking for the perfect caterer for our wedding and this was the one vendor I was going to be PICKY about given I am such a foodie. We knew we wanted a plated meal for the right ambiance and CN knocked it out of the park. Anyone planning a wedding needs to be realistic about the true costs associated with having such an event - especially a plated meal. It will likely be the most expensive ticket item for your wedding day - and for good reason! Do your research, take a deep breath, and set a realistic price point for your fabulous wedding meal. CN is reasonable and worth every single penny.To start off - we went to a public tasting event for CN Catering to really get a proper snapshot of what all they have to offer. We not only got to see how great the food looked and tasted, but we got to see true presentation, service, and how much they pay attention to detail. We had some favorites from the tasting and decided it was time to do a private tasting. We got to curate our menu and taste every single item - everything was SO good and we got to make tweaks here and there to each item. CN was incredibly receptive and paid attention to each note when it came to the final product. Andrew was a dream to work with throughout the entire process and was readily available if we had any questions come up!While we didn't do a drinks package (bought our own from Spec's), we did add on various rentals, a dance floor, and an elevated mixers package so that we could have a really nice open bar. I probably messaged back with Andrew 10-12 times with questions regarding my liquor order from Spec's and he provided such great guidance on how much we should order. I didn't even get to taste test their cocktail mixes before the wedding (we could have - I just didn't bother) - but I can tell you I was SHOOK on the presentation. The espresso martinis even had a chocolate swirl pattern inside the martini glasses! The French 75s had a perfect lemon twist rind on top - these details may not matter to many, but I am a person who lives and thrives in the detail, and they nailed it. We even had a bit of a difficult plate rental that had scalloped edges so the plate covers couldn't perfectly lock - and the CN team handled it with such finesse and no plates were dropped! Not even a bobble. We missed our entire cocktail hour since we were taking pictures, and CN was nice enough to curate an entire tray of fresh appetizers for my husband and I to munch on during our plated meal. SO SWEET!For anyone wondering what we got - we did the pear crostini, the meatball, the honey walnut shrimp, and the tortellini skewer for appetizers. All are incredible - but I will say the honey walnut shrimp blew everyone out of the water. It tends to be commented on the most in reviews with CN catering and there is a REASON for that (it is that good). For our plated meals - we offered the Dallas strip steak medallions with the mushroom peppercorn sauce, a creamy tomato basil sauce smothered on seared chicken breast, and an eggplant parmesan for our vegetarians. All options came with the same sides - broccolini, Yukon gold mashed potatoes, and dinner rolls. EVERYONE was happy. I nitpicked all three dishes at our head table to spot check flavor and each one was perfection. To finish the night, we had their classic gyoza dumplings and it was the perfect snack while killing it on the dance floor.THANK YOU, CN CATERING, for playing such a crucial role on our big day! We will cherish the memories (and GOOD food) forever.

Montclair was a literal BEAUTY. The most perfect venue with everything you could possibly need. We loved working with CN catering as they made everything SO easy! All of the people who worked for CN were super responsive, helped us out in any way, and made us feel at ease on our wedding day. Everything was organized and clear throughout the whole process. I truly loved Montclair, and the magnificence within, but I would highly recommend any CN event space. I would not have changed one thing about this whole experience. They were the best!!
Nicole Hartzell
Great place to work for and great company to do your catering events.

Did some subcontracting as temp help for a young lady and I feel I did a good job but I haven't heard about any new events. I just hope it wasn't because the subcontractor is of Arab descent and I am Jewish. So at times like this I can only think of the immortal words of Rodney King, can't we all just get along?
Leah Turney
I'm a wedding photographer who has worked with CN Catering several times. Every time the food has been delicious and the staff super helpful. I highly recommend them!!
Kendall Twiddy
Andrew and Jarrah at CN were amazing to work with throughout the process of planning our wedding. I can't begin to count how many revisions of the menu we went through but they were always so responsive and gave us all the information we needed. At our last meeting Jarrah was so easy to work with and helped to make sure we got the tablescape look we wanted while still staying in our budget. Our wedding was a few weeks ago and we are still getting comments from our guests about how much they loved the food and that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. Seriously can not thank CN Catering enough for the amazing job they did!!

The Food and Service for our luncheon event was above and beyond. Afterwards, the first words uttered from the group were “The food was sooo good!!”. The catering team delivered the best meal – it truly was memorable - the prosciutto stuffed chicken was exceptional– the asparagus grilled melted in my mouth. Truly an exceptional meal like no other. Definitely at the top of my list!

We used CN Catering for a 50th birthday party and everything was great! The food was ALWAYS hot and delicious as we had passed hors d'oeuvres the entire party. The staff was polite and accommodating with all of our guest. You will not be disappointed with their services.

We have used CN for our holiday parties at Usability Sciences for the past 6 years. Very helpful in the planning process. Food is great. Staff is great. Altogether an excellent experience.

Worked with CN Catering on an alumni event in Texas. They made working with them from out of state a breeze. The display of food was beautiful. CN made this very easy, and delivered on every aspect of the event.
CN catering was incredible. From picking out table settings to finalizing the details on the menu, they were accommodating and great to work with. Not only did they create beautiful settings, but the food was DELICIOUS! One of the comments I kept hearing from my guests after the wedding was how good the food was.Amber managed my wedding and I worked with her from day 1 until the event was over. She was incredible and made the planning process easy. The event staff was great and very attentive to my guests. The bartenders were fast and knowledgeable. We had 240 guests attend and there was never a line at the bar.

We got married this past weekend and CN Catering was amazing! Our guests raved about how great the food was and the service was fantastic. The catering staff hand delivered our food and drinks to us and made us feel so special. and with their BYOB alcohol option, we saved a bunch of money and have a lot of alcohol left over. I’d highly recommend CN Catering for their professionalism, great staff, and PLENTY of tasty food options.
Kirsten Cronin
Our planner recommended CN Catering and I’m so glad that she did! Our experience with CN and Andrew in particular was such a great experience. We did a private tasting at first and tasted 3 meals, multiple salads, apps and sides and it was amazing! We then did a group tasting closer to our event to make sure we were 100% confident in our choices and see if we wanted to add anything. The group tasting was great because we were also able to see their rentals in action as well as their photobooth options, which was super helpful. We ended up using their photobooth as well as their linens, flatware, glassware and plates and our big day was everything we had hoped for. We also elected to have the bar package from CN and would recommend to anyone wanting to have professionals handling the alcohol! Everyone loved the food on our big day and we even had friends tell us they tried to recreate some of the dishes afterwards because they couldn’t stop thinking about our food! If you have the chance to work with CN, take it!Special shout out to Andrew specifically for answering all our questions, accommodating last minute changes and generally being a really cool dude! We are so grateful we got to work with you for our big day!

Our facility has previously ordered from CN Catering. They were a huge part of our recent event and everyone truly enjoyed the display. The food was high quality with an assortment options. Cruz and Luis were very kind and took great care of our guests. Amber was also a big help with selecting the best menu for our needs and finalizing the small details. Always a great experience working with CN Catering!
