Awarded Best of Zola
Me and my husband chose MAHFY to cater our 80 person wedding because they offered extensive menu options and the price was right. We are SO GLAD we went with them. This husband and wife team was a true pleasure to work with from the beginning. They came to our home for a tasting, which made for a lovely sort of date night. We enjoyed getting to know them and felt very taken care of. They remained attentive and communicative in the months leading up to the wedding, answering any questions right away. At the wedding, our guests were delighted by the food, and I’m still hearing praises of it a month later. Our guests had a wide array of tastes and dietary restrictions, but we easily found something for everyone (see our menu in the photos!). Don’t hesitate to hire MAHFY for your event! They’re good people serving good food :).

We booked the Culinary Curate for an intimate buffet style wedding celebration this summer. No rainy weather could have ruined the experience. Charmaine and her team made sure every guest had a wonderful time.

  • Serves Newark, NJ

We are all about our handcrafted kitchen. From soups to dressings, sauces to desserts, we handcraft menus bringing together flavor and culture, in recipes, old and new. We are passionately committed to offering the freshest ingredients available and love to source local when our season allows.

We used Krave to cater our wedding at the Conservatory at the Sussex County Fairgrounds and I wouldn't change a thing! From start to finish, they were so kind, helpful, and prompt and made it the best day. Of course, the food was INCREDIBLE and there were so many options and we were able to customize everything. We had people telling us afterward that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. As a bonus, we also had our rehearsal dinner at their cafe the night before the wedding and they made it so special and all their staff were so kind. The BEST!

Chef Julienne 

5.0

  • Starts at $534
  • Serves Newark, NJ

Chef Julienne delivers the elegance and creativity of fine dining in a way that feels warm, personalized, and inviting, not exclusive or out of reach. Our cuisine is elevated, artfully plated, and thoughtfully seasonal, but always rooted in hospitality. We’re more than caterers, we create experiences. We think about how the food will feel at your table, not just how it tastes. That’s what leaves an impression. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter catering. Every menu is built around your event and your taste. Our offerings are always flexible and always beautifully executed. We make gourmet accessible and curated to you.

From the very first interaction, Chef Julienne's communication style was open, honest, and quick to respond. Their catering services were cultivated, detailed, elevated, and absolutely delicious. They went above and beyond to make my wedding day special - there were small touches they remembered I liked, and they included these complimentary as a gift. My sister has severe allergies, and Chef Julienne made sure she felt completely secure and comfortable with all the food options. Even though catering felt like an extra expense at first, it ended up being one of the premier moments of my wedding day. The food was gorgeous and nourishing, keeping my wedding party energized and happy throughout the long day. I'm so grateful to Chef Julienne for their incredible service and attention to detail.

We infuse every celebration with the beauty of romance. Join us for a seamless blend of creativity and imagination, where exceptional dining, impeccable service, and stunning décor create lasting memories long after the event ends

To start let me say I've been in the food industry for a long time a good portion of that being in the carering/wedding industry, and coming from experience i knew how stressful planning a wedding would be. My wife and I decided to go without a planner and do it ourselves. I have known Georgio for many years and when it came time to plan the wedding there was no question on who I was having cater the event. I've always known him to be very adventurous and passionate about his craft but never to the extent that he generously showed my wife and I. Georgio and his team guided my wife and I through all stages of the process with ease and made us feel as comfortable as possible during the planning. Now the event itself was truly outstanding, he and his staff were so professional, hard working and meticulous. When it comes to a wedding your guest will forever remember two things the music and the food, now my music was absolute top notch the food stole the show. A family style feast was prepared for my guest and let me tell you I'm still getting calls and messages about the food. So to sum it all up LuShe'ann catering should be at the number one spot on your list for future events.

I hired Chef Ellen for a dinner party that I was hosting for 20 people, and she absolutely EXCEEDED my expectations. From our first call about planning the event, to the event itself, Chef Ellen was fantastic. She has such an impressive rolodex of appetizers and meals she can prepare, and she worked with me to customize a perfect menu for the evening. We chose 5 hors d'oeuvres, and she surprised me on the night with two additional ones on top of the five we'd chosen! Every single appetizer was delicious. From there, we did a sit down dinner that included a soup (amazing butternut squash), salad (the best salad my guests have ever had - who knew a salad could be that life changing!), and then guests had a choice of filet mignon or arctic char for their main course. Both main courses were so thoughtfully prepared, perfectly cooked, and the presentation for everything was stunning. On top of that, there was a mini pizza delivery crisis for my 5 and 7 year old nephews who were over, and Chef Ellen graciously offered to make pasta for them -- all while preparing a 20-person dinner. What more could you ask for?! After dinner, she also surprised me with mini passed desserts :) Chef Ellen also had brought a server with her, who was professional, charismatic and on top of everything to ensure the night went smoothly. To sum it up, Chef Ellen helped make the night so special, and I was thrilled with all of her hard work. If you're looking for delicious food, beautiful presentation, great service, and a hell of a personality, don't hesitate to book Chef Ellen. I am so glad I found her and am already looking forward to having her back for another event!

  • Serves Newark, NJ

Mellanee is a passionate culinary professional dedicated to creating unique dining experiences that cater to individual tastes and preferences. With a strong belief in the importance of healthful food preparation, Mellanee focuses on crafting dishes that are not only delicious but also visually appealing. Driven by a sense of purpose, Mellanee takes pride in her ability to nourish others through her cooking. She values the opportunity to collaborate with clients, ensuring that each dining experience reflects their vision and desires.

Our wedding took place in July 2025 at the Foundry. We were in touch with The Fork Goes on the Left for almost an entire year beforehand getting everything ready for the big day. Mellanee worked tirelessly with us throughout all the months leading up to our event, answering emails on the smallest details and helping to guide us through the process. This was not only about selecting the food, but also getting all of the moving pieces right, down to the linens, the glasses, the cutlery, etc. Even helping us to print out special menus. And we live in a completely different time zone on the other side of the world – it couldn’t have been easy! But she was always on top of every step. The whole The Fork Goes on the Left team made the entire day spectacular from start to finish. The food was fantastic, and so many guests came up to us and let us know how much they enjoyed each course. The passed hors d’oeuvres and charcuterie were full of variety (this team can really do any kind of cuisine!) and presented so professionally – I found myself going back over and over during the night to grab more. Our salads and mains came out so beautifully for our outside family style dinner, and the portion sizes were perfect. The bartenders were excellent, and the team even worked with us to put together three specialty drinks, all of which were delicious and a huge hit with our team. But it wasn’t just the food – the service and attention to detail delighted all of our guests. I am a planner, and all of the staff worked so well with me to make sure everything was going smoothly all night long. It really took the stress out of it for me. I think even a few of her staff left as good friends to our family members by the end of the night. Hats off to The Fork Goes on the Left from us, we couldn’t have asked for a better team! Would highly recommend their team for your event.
