Bon Soir Caterers

Jeff and his team were terrific. We were working on a tight budget and he was extremely accommodating, honest, and made sure we had terrific food at a price we could afford. He's a total pro with decades of experience and we felt like we were in excellent hands throughout the entire process. His team on the day of the wedding was also extremely helpful, professional, and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Jeff and the entire team at Bon Soir Caterers are the real deal seasoned players. We chose them to cater our wedding at the Prospect Park Picnic House this past October over any of the other preferred caterers because of their excellent communication, glowing reviews and renowned expertise. And we wouldn't have had it any other way. From their professionalism, experience, attention to detail and warm hospitality, Jeff helped make our wedding day one of the best days of our lives. My husband is a chef and I am a caterer so we know how much hard work goes into putting together an event like this and food is incredibly important to us. Jeff's passion, humor and expertise left us feeling confident we wouldn't have to worry about a thing, and it was true. He is a gem! Their adherence to safety protocols helped make us feel very safe. Even when there were some hiccups like things not showing up on time, we had absolutely no idea because Jeff took care of everything. They really went above and beyond. The presentation, the food, the guidance in the entire planning and production of the day was made so easy because of Bon Soir. The event staff were fantastic, upbeat and professional, and if you are lucky enough to have the Bon Soir team cater your event please show your gratitude through smiles and generous tips because they truly go above and beyond. This business can be grueling work and Jeff is not only an exceptional caterer but he absolutely loves what he does and that love and care really shines through. Our wedding guests are still calling us to rave about how delicious the food was and how it was one of the best parties they have ever been to in their lives! That was one heck of a party! Thank you Bon Soir!

Jeff and his team did a fantastic job catering our event and I can't recommend them highly enough. The food and service was phenomenal and so many of our guests told us how fantastic their meal was, especially the pies we had in lieu of a traditional wedding cake. If you need a caterer, look no further than Bon Soir!

The food and day-of service provided by Bon Soir Caterers at our wedding was nothing short of amazing. We had our wedding at Greenpoint Loft in August 2021 – and were really impressed by how well the food reflected our experience at the tasting (braised short rib for the win!) – I’ve been to a number of weddings over the years and I’m proud to say our food ranked as one of the best dining experiences when compared to other weddings. Drink service was also a real hit. When planning our wedding, we were interested in having an extensive cocktail list at our wedding and Jeff and his team made it happen – making everything from martinis to palomas – tracking down hard to find ingredients and making fresh simple syrup for the reception. It was also nice working with a vendor who remained conscious of price – and steered us towards options within our budget, but of the best quality. Seriously – if you want people to remember your wedding food in a positive way – go with these guys, you won’t be disappointed.

The food was a excellent. Our guests are still asking about it. Bonsoir's staff was also extremely professional and pleasant. Jeff, the owner, helped us in understanding what we needed for our day, as we hadn't a clue. All in all, an exceptional experience.

Literally the best. Came recommended and surpassed my expectations and went above and beyond to make my wedding amazing. The food was incredible but what really got me was the transparency between Jeff and I during our communication and the service of the servers and bartender we hired to work our event through Bon Soir. They made sure we ate on our own wedding night, they accommodated a few picky eaters and vegan/vegetarian options, and they left the house we got married in cleaner than when they arrived. I would recommend Bon Soir to anyone anywhere. Truly phenomenal.

If you need one less stress on your big day hire bon soir!!! Jeff went out of his way to make me happy. My guest were shocked by how amazing everything was, best thing said was” I thought I was at a hall by how good the food was”. Jeff is exceptional at what he does and it shows!

Jeff and his staff did a first rate job. He made himself available, answered all of our questions and all of our guests raves about the food. The staff was professional and courteous. You will not be making a mistake if you hire this caterer.

The best decision that my husband and I made was hiring Jeff from Bon Soir caterers. The menu options were vast but all sounded delicious--the hardest part was choosing from so many delicious options! Reasonably priced and highly customizable, we trusted him implicitly with many decisions and he helped us in every way possible. He was very familiar with our venue (he's a preferred caterer for the Prospect Park Picnic House) and had AMAZING suggestions including table setup and placement. Our tasting was outstanding, and we even went home with extra treats. The day of our wedding happened to fall just before the pandemic and shelter-in-place began in New York City. As a result, we had lots of people cancel at the last minute. Jeff was incredibly understanding with us and made sure that we got to take home every last bite of leftover food. The leftovers fed us, my parents, my husband's parents, and his grandparents for nearly 6 meals each during our first week of quarantine. The food was not only delicious but beautiful--our guests took pictures of their plates. All in all, if you're looking for the best catering option for your wedding, congratulations because you've already found it.

Jeff and his team were great at our November wedding at the Picnic House! He knows the venue extremely well and helped us figure out so much more than just the food (which was great). It did sometimes take a little while to hear back in our email correspondence, which is totally understandable with so many events, but just something to keep in mind if you don’t hear back right away. Thank you, Jeff!

Words cannot express how wonderful Jeff and the whole Bon Soir team are on every level. Not only did Jeff help us figure out the best menu for our budget he also guided us through creating a blueprint for our entire wedding day. Jeff and the Bon Soir team are always calm, always positive, always easy to reach and always working to make sure you get exactly what you want on your big day. No question went unanswered and every question was met with never-ending patience and wisdom from the whole team. We don't know how we would have planned a wedding for 220 people without Jeff's guidance. He even helped us with wonderful suggestions for alcohol and beer vendors and helped us figure out the best amount to order which was above and beyond his call of duty for our party. The entire staff on the day of the event made sure the party was seamless. Every staff member treated us like royalty from start to finish and they were so sweet to our guests. And, now...the FOOD! Every single one of our guests made a point of raving about every item that was served from appetizers to entrees. Everything was fresh, hot, delicious and looked great. Our friends and family went up for seconds and thirds and could not believe we were serving such delicious food at a party for so many people. For example, the pita with our appetizers was served fresh and hot. When have you ever had fresh, hot pita bread at a party? We did (and so did all our guests) at our wedding. We hope to have another party just so we have an excuse to hire Jeff and his team again. If you are looking for a caterer for your big event, look no further.

Stop and hire Jeff now. Him and his team were absolutely amazing for us. Since the moment we spoke with him, we knew we were in good hands. We had a vision of the food we wanted and he made sure it came to life! He answered every single question quickly and helped with things that weren't even part of his job. Even after the wedding, he is helping us get back money from a vendor who over charged us. Not his job at all, but again that's the type of guy Jeff is.

We had chosen the Greenpoint Loft to celebrate our wedding and weren't very familiar with the catering options in the Brooklyn area coming from CT. Reviewing the recommended vendors listed on our venue's website we came across Bon Soir Caterers. I thought to do a little research and had a good feeling after reading so many positive reviews (pictures of food sold me too). I reached out and spoke to Jeff Riley and the rest was history. Jeff assessed our needs and created a custom menu tailored to what we wanted within a reasonable budget. Speaking with him, you can tell he has years of experience in this industry and we felt comfortable with his recommendations. Came the wedding day, everything was seamless with the staff being punctual, professional, and attentive whenever needed. The food was just as good or if not, better from when we had our tasting! We continue to hear compliments to this day from our guests on how amazing the food was 2 months later. We can't thank you enough on the amazing service you provided us and making our wedding day so much more special.

Our wedding reception at the Picnic House was catered by Bon Soir. They prepared delicious food and presented and served it beautifully. The owner, Jeff, was involved throughout the process. He coordinated all of our deliveries and his staff even helped with "last minute" decorating. His familiarity with the venue made for a perfect event. It was magical to see the empty building transformed into a stunning reception space. Our guests were very impressed!

We chose the Prospect Park Boathouse for our wedding and could not have been more pleased! In addition to the venue being absolutely spectacular, we cannot recommend Yoriko and the entire Bon Soir Catering team enough. Throughout the entire process, they guided us every step of the way, ensuring that every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. Yoriko in particular was an incredible coordinator when it came to planning. She is so organized, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. The Bon Soir team prepared a delicious menu and orchestrated the presentation flawlessly. The entire team, from servers, to chefs, to our bartender were all so friendly and we could not have asked for a better team to work with when celebrating our wedding.

Jeff Riley has tons of experience, is reassuring and straight forward. He really knew our venue and told us what to expect, made great recommendations. His staff was professional and on top of things. We now know why he is on the recommended vendors list. The food was delicious and we received a lot of great feedback from our guests about his staff's professionalism on the day of our wedding. Highly recommend!

Bon Soir Caterers were a package deal with the Prospect Park Boathouse, and they were wonderful to work with. Yoriko (and our day-of captain Ryan) were so so helpful, responsive, and professional; the food was excellent (still getting compliments); and the price was pretty reasonable considering they also took care of our linens, flatware, plates, etc. I'd highly recommend them if you're looking for a caterer!!

We had our wedding at the Prospect Park Boathouse. After the previous exclusive caterer went MIA, many of the couples, who were left stranded including ourselves, were invited to a tasting with Josh and the team. We were blown away by the presentation and taste of the food. After careful considerations, we decided to go with Bon Soir and we are very glad we did! Yoriko knew the Boathouse like the back of her hands. She was one of the main reason also we went with Bon Soir. She was calm and collected the whole night and moved things along working with my Day-of Coordinator. The staff member were so courteous and sweet, making sure we had everything we need and we looked our best on the day. The food was absolutely amazing. I have friends raving about crab cakes and chateaubriand for days. Everything was executed perfectly and timely to our plans and we can't thank Bon Soir enough for our beautiful wedding.

We celebrated our wedding at the Prospect Park Boathouse where Bon Soir is the exclusive caterer. Throughout the planning process, Yoriko quickly answered our questions and provided suggestions to ease our planning stress. On our wedding day, Yoriko and the rest of the Bon Soir staff executed the entire wedding flawlessly according to the timeline we planned. We were very pleased with the food selection during the tasting and many of our guests raved about the food during and after the wedding.

We were very pleased with having Bon Soir as our caterer. Our family and friends could not stop talking about the food at our wedding. We even got asked by multiple people if Bon Soir had a restaurant! Jeff's expertise, guidance, patience, and professionalism really made the whole wedding planning process so much easier on us. We can tell that he genuinely cared about creating an experience that suited our desires and budget. We wanted to have an environmentally friendly & sustainable wedding and he went above and beyond to make sure it came to fruition. We are eternally grateful for all the hard work, time, and effort that Jeff and his staff put into our wedding. We honestly couldn't have chosen a better caterer!

Folks at the wedding could not stop raving about the food. From start to finish. My sister-in-law said, “These guys are so good I want them to cater all my parties, even my wake.” All were highly impressed. A good part of the success comes from the crew who were friendly, professional and extremely caring. They did a magnificent job of taking care of us. Thanks to Bon Soir for making my daughters wedding a special success. Ed & Anita

Bon Soir catered our wedding at the Picnic House in Prospect Park over Labor Day weekend. The staff were terrific and so attentive! We were pleasantly surprised to get to our Bride/Bride table after the ceremony/photos to find full plates of everything on the menu! They also checked in a few times during the event to make sure we had everything we needed, which helped us avoid the issue of not having time to eat during the wedding. Staff seemed to really know what they were doing and made sure the day ran smoothly with food, setup, and flipping the space from ceremony to dinner without a hitch. We also received several compliments from our guests on the food. In general, Jeff was easy to work with and pretty communicative via email. The only thing that was a little frustrating was the cost breakdown of the rentals (e.g., tables, glassware, etc.) - would have been great to have a more clear explanation of why each item was needed. Although we were initially a little nervous about being limited to a small group of caterers on the Picnic House's list, Bon Soir ended up being great and we were very happy with our experience! Would definitely recommend them for Picnic House weddings and otherwise. Our wedding was beautiful from start to finish.

Highly recommended!!! It was an absolute pleasure working with Jeff and his entire crew for our wedding at the Picnic House in Prospect Park. Jeff has been in the business for a long time and every time we started to get nervous about something he quickly calmed our nerves ensuring us that everything would be fine. He seriously went above and beyond and had a huge hand in helping us plan our wedding, organizing rentals, helping with layout and in general giving us great recommendations to help us keep our costs down. Oh yeah and the food was AWESOME, everyone was raving about it! On the actual wedding day, his team was incredible. They made the space look incredible and kept everything running smoothly the whole night long.

Bon Soir did a fantastic job at our wedding at the Boathouse in Prospect Park. Jeff and Yoriko were very attentive and answered all our questions throughout the planning process. They also catered to our budget needs while still offering a delicious menu that our guests raved about! On the day of our wedding, Yoriko and the staff were extremely attentive and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We were thrilled with their service and would definitely recommend them to anyone searching for a reliable caterer. As a couple, we were especially thrilled because they made the day so enjoyable and stress free!! We really cannot thank them enough!!!

Jeff @ Bon Soir really knows what he's doing. There's a reason he does 80+% of weddings at the Picnic House in Prospect Park. He knows the venue like the back of his hand. Multiple people told us it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding, and we agree! Bon Soir cooks everything right there at the venue so it tastes fresh and amazing. The filet mignon was incredible, but we absolutely loved all the passed hors d'oeuvres. We still talk about how good the fish tacos were! We highly recommend Bon Soir for your wedding - their rate is really really good for the quality and professionalism they gave us - we have no doubt the food was better than another caterer asking double the price! Thanks Jeff for knocking it out of the park.

Jeff and his team did an amazing job coordinating our menu, along with setting up our venue! The food was incredible and people are still talking about it! We are so grateful for the time and energy he put into making our wedding vision happen!! *We got married at the Picnic House in Prospect Park.

Yoriko is professional, responsive, and helped make our day special and unique. Bon Soir was flexible and open to food and beverage changes and was easy to work with although it would have been great if better notes were taken during the tasting as it felt that we had to repeat our preferences several times during the process. The waitstaff overall is very professional, courteous and responsible. They worked very hard to make all of our guests happy. All of our guests were very happy with the food and we received dozens of positive comments. The only reason that we are giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that we had several vegan guests and requested several vegan appetizers. Unfortunately, one of the appetizers that should have been vegan was not and another appetizer that was not vegan was advertised as though it was. The waitstaff should have been better educated on which items were vegan and which were not. We would not hesitate to use them again.

We used Bon Soir for our wedding at the Prospect Park Picnic House. Beyond being incredible value, Jeff was so very helpful throughout the process. He went as far as to help us create a timeline for the evening and provided us with multiple different options for room setup. He went above and beyond in helping us leading up to the day and on the day of, his staff was wonderful and according to every guest, the food was amazing. We are so thankful that we chose to work with Jeff and Bon Soir!

I highly recommend working with Bon Soir. Jeff was incredibly helpful, from the amazing food to helping us with the layout in the venue, to connecting us to a rental company for flatware, linens, and furniture. Multiple people remarked that it was the best food they've had at a wedding. Jeff was supportive every step of the way in helping me make decisions that felt true to who we are as a couple, and never tried to upsell me. My family plans to use Bon Soir again for holiday catering and other parties.

Jeff and his team are simply amazing! We had a wonderful time planning the menu with him. Many of our guests had dietary restrictions, and Jeff easily met them—we chose BBQ and still had a great amount of options for our vegetarian friends. He also proved to be an important asset in the whole wedding process. We had a pretty strict budget, but under Jeff's advice we were able to make good decisions that helped stretch our dollar. I was very confident the day would be smooth sailing under Jeff's advice and years of experience. The day of the wedding couldn't have been more perfect. We were introduced to the captain, Victor, who took such great care of us. You know you're in good hands when the catering staff stops you from entering the reception for a few minutes to eat (the amazing!) appetizers. I never felt in want of anything, things simply just happened. Our guests commented multiple times on the amazing food and service during the reception. In fact, the other day a friend mentioned to me (again!) how delicious the BBQ was—and (as a Texan!) I have to agree. We would hire Jeff and his team again in a heartbeat. The food was incredible and the service was exquisite. I feel really lucky to have had hired them, everything was just so easy.

Yoriko, Jeff, and the Bon Soir team made our wedding at the Prospect Park Boathouse a highly magical event. Yoriko is communicative, efficient, and know the Boathouse through and through. She made sure all the behind-the-scenes activities were pulled off and all the timing worked out for the evening. Jeff and his team's food was delightful. The staff was attentive and thoughtful. Everything was great.

We ended up working with Bon Soir under unusual circumstances. The exclusive caterer of our venue, the Prospect Park Boathouse, unexpectedly shut down, leaving dozens of couples hanging (and without their deposits...). Bon Soir stepped in and saved the day. Our wedding was 7 weeks after we got that news, so we had a little bit more time than other couples to get everything sorted out, but from what I've heard, every wedding went off without a hitch - ours included. Jeff was great in working with us to make sure we would get at least what was promised to us by the former caterer. And in fact, we were even able to work with him to provide our own liquor for the event, which was an added bonus for us. All in, we ended up saving about $5,000 over what we would have spent with the now-defunct caterer, which goes a long way toward making up for that lost deposit! As for the food, it was seriously good. Not just wedding good, but genuinely good stuff. Our guests raved over it. We had salmon and chateubriande beef, and the beef was SO tender. That is seriously impressive when serving food for so many (we had 131 people). And the cake, which I believe they provided through Ladybird Bakery, was out of this world. I truly believe the food we got was MUCH better than what we would have got with the original caterer, so you can't beat the value. The only downside was that Jeff could be hard to get ahold of, and sometimes his emails weren't exactly clear. We had to cut him a break here though, since he was in the midst of pulling off so many last-minute weddings. All in, if you want a caterer that provides excellent food, fantastic service and who truly cares about the business and ensuring your wedding is perfect, look no further than Jeff and Bon Soir.

Jeff at Bon Soir catered our wedding at the Prospect Park Picnic House last Spring and did an AMAZING job! He held our hand the whole way through and dealt with all my questions and concerns just perfectly. He and his staff were such a pleasure to work with. And, above all, our guests raved about the food both that night and months after the wedding! Highly recommend.

We couldn't recommend Jeff and his team at Bon Soir more highly. They catered our daughters wedding this weekend at the Boathouse in Prospect Park. The food, drink and service were exemplary! All our guests raved about the filet, salmon and sides. The staff are incredibly good, kind and fun. Many thanks Jeff and your team. Best wishes Dee & Alvin

I have to start this review by saying that Bon Soir was THE BEST choice my husband and I could have ever made for our Wedding. We got married in April this year at the Prospect Park Picnic House and of all the catering options they offer, Bon Soir is by far the one to go with. Jeff from Bon Soir has been in the wedding industry for many years and he knows what he's doing. When you talk to him, he will put your mind at ease and be very straight forward, explaining details of how things work and also taking away all the "shenanigans" from the process. We started communicating with him via email and then scheduled our in-person meeting. The meeting was great and he made my husband and I feel confident that they were the ones we wanted for our wedding. We booked our tasting and the food was beyond delicious. We were so excited with the food and he surprised us even more giving us a good portion of the generous tasting leftovers for us to take home. We loved every bite of those leftovers. As the day approached, he made sure we had all the details were sorted out and he was super quick and responsive when we had a hard time finding a Beer vendor for our wedding. I messaged him asking for advice and he immediately jumped in and gave us a great alternative. Not only he found our vendor, but he did all the due diligence to make sure everything would be fine on the wedding day, meeting with the vendor in person and making sure they were aligned before the big day. Needless to say that our wedding day went smoothly, he set up everything the way we had envisioned and the food was FABULOUS!! Everything was on point, and our guests were thrilled with the wonderful selection. From appetizers to main course, to the bartenders and waiters, everything was perfect. Him and his staff work like and great orchestra knowing exactly what to do. And I can't understate how amazing the food was. To this day, I still have guests telling me how much they enjoyed the food. Rocco and I couldn't be happier with our decision. If you're looking for a caterer for your wedding, Bon Soir is the right choice. They made our dream and vision become a reality by their professionalism, reliability, quality service and excellent food.

Jeff and his crew were incredible. He was very accommodating to us and made our dinner gluten free for our guests. The food was very delicious and all our guests raved about it. The team was very professional at our wedding. We even had an issue with our venue not providing a liquor permit and he took care of it no problem. We were completely at ease with Bon Soir!

We had a really great experience working with Jeff from Bon Soir! He is extremely professional and knows how to organize a wedding smoothly. My fiance and I were (like many young couples!) completely unaware of how to schedule and organize the reception. Jeff took care of not only all of the food, but all of the rentals that we needed, as well as helping us to figure out our timeline and room set-up. Additionally, the food was delicious!! We have had a number of guests comment to us how amazing the food was at our wedding. The only reason that I wouldn't give Jeff a full 5 stars is because he is a little difficult to communicate with. He was at times hard to reach. He did, however, always eventually get back to us and was clearly able to pull off an incredible night!! My only recommendation for anyone working with Bon Soir is to be persistent because it is absolutely worth it in the end :) We definitely recommend working with Bon Soir!!

I realize that I'm adding to an already overwhelmingly positive consensus of Jeff and Bon Soir but I would be a fool not to contribute. My husband and I got married this past October at the Queens County Farm Museum and everything went off without a hitch, thanks to Jeff. When you hire Jeff and the Bon Soir team, you are getting so much more than food. In a time that can be incredibly stressful, Jeff's experience and expertise will bring you a calm that reminds you to stop and enjoy your engagement. He knows this business like it was the back of his own hand. He has great relationships with other vendors, rentals, locations, etc., and speaks so matter-of-factly about putting on a perfectly orchestrated wedding that you wonder if he's actually a zen master. What he IS is a a great guy, a husband and dad, and someone who truly loves what he does. Now, let's talk food. Good GOD. It, not my beautiful dress or killer dance moves, was the highlight of our wedding. We so desperately wanted good, accessible, unique food and we got all of that and more. I'm a vegetarian and my husband is not, and we rocked a southern BBQ mix that left both of us stuffed and busting out of our fancy clothes. We had a unique situation in that our wedding was dry (I'm in recovery) and Jeff didn't bat an eyelash. Instead we were showered with sparkling cider, hot spiced apple ciders, teas, lemonades, coffees, and more. The desserts were out of this world and kept people dancing with their "strolling" serving style. I can't rave enough about Jeff and Bon Soir. They are so reasonably priced for the kind of service and peace of mind they provide. Book them now!

Jeff and Bon Soir caterers catered our July wedding at the Picnic House. The food was fabulous (guests are still talking about it), and Jeff was knowledgable about the venue, had relationships with other vendors to streamline the process, and helped us think through every aspect of our ceremony and reception. He was kind and helpful and his food is just delicious! The only thing holding me back from a 5 star review is that Jeff was a little hard to communicate with via email. In person he was fantastic and attentive, but we often wouldn't hear back from him for extended period of time during the planning process (which was a little stressful). That being said, he pulled through when it counted, did an amazing job the day of, and is very affordable compared to many of the other options out there in NYC. We recommended him to friends who used him for their wedding this fall and that food was delicious too!

Jeff and his team at Bon Soir catered our May 2015 wedding at the Prospect Park Picnic House. First, if you pick this venue - you need not look any further. We tried a few of their caterers, and liked many of them, but Jeff's experience with the venue and prices make him the obvious choice. If you're looking for your caterer to be your best friend, Jeff is not your guy. While courteous and extremely professional, Jeff's company is incredibly busy. Phone tag and lapses in email are possible during the process, but if it's urgent Jeff will follow through right away. We had Bon Soir serve BBQ at the wedding, and we had a lot of happy guests. The menu we planned with Jeff was exactly what we were hoping for - if Jeff already didn't have it on a menu, he found a way to get it done. His contacts and other vendors also helped us save a lot of money. The wedding day was smooth, with the only complaint from guests being one of the bartenders not knowing how to make an Old Fashioned. Again, only complaint. Our maitre d was incredible, and our wedding coordinator told us after the face he was easy to work with, knew exactly what he was doing and followed the plan to a T. We are beyond grateful for Jeff and the Bon Soir team - they were absolutely critical in what became a perfect day.

Bon Soir is an excellent Catering company! Jeff and his team are a well oiled machine when it comes to doing weddings. We hired Bon Soir for our wedding at The Picnic House in Prospect Park. Jeff and Erica (one of their amazing Chef's) listened to us as we came up with menu ideas for a cocktail hour and Buffet dinner. Their food is excellent, fresh and comes with a great price tag. We provided our own alcohol but overall, I don't think there's a caterer out there in Brooklyn, to beat excellent food and service at a great price.

Jeff and his team are great! The food was absolutely fantastic - I'm still getting compliments months after our wedding. Plus, Jeff thought of every single detail and ensured nothing was left unaccounted for in the planning process. Not to mention their reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Eventually, Jeff Riley will figure out that along with being the best value, most delicious caterer in town, he also acts as a pro-bono wedding planner. But I'm so glad he hasn't figured it out yet. Jeff walked us through every step of our wedding, from the timing of the ceremony to a CAD representation of the table arrangements to recommending a wine vendor who took back every unopened bottle at a full refund. We went with the pulled pork, jerk chicken, and brisket. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the food - which was our goal. I would recommend Jeff Riley and Bon Soir to anyone getting married in NYC. You won't be sorry!

They are the best choice. Their receive five starts across the board. Our March wedding was a breeze thanks to their excellence service and great quality food!

You know the food at your wedding was delicious when guests, family and friends are still raving about it even 2 months after they've had it! Jeff Riley and Bon Soir Caterers had me and my then fiance at first bite! We had our food tasting with him, and pretty much decided on the spot that we wanted to work with Bon Soir Caterers for our cocktail hour and dinner reception. With Jeff, you get so much more for your money, and I don't just mean quantity with that. Exhibit A? The first thing I heard upon entering our reception venue coming for cocktail hour, was how AMAZING and DELICIOUS each of the 10 different appetizers/passed hors d'oeuvres was, and how warm and efficient the staff were. Exhibit B? So many guests have told us that while they've learned to expect the appetizers/hors d'oeuvres to be the best part of the meal coming from other weddings, they were so happy and pleasantly surprised at how delicious our entrees were as well! Exhibit C? Jeff was able to bring in some hard-to-find drinks/beverages that I requested so my fiance and I could each have something representative of our culture/ethnicity. These are just small examples of just how wonderful it was to work with Bon Soir Caterers! Jeff and his team at Bon Soir Caterers truly helped make our wedding a memorable and happy one. We were so well taken care of and blown away by the food, service and care! Thanks Bon Soir Caterers!

Food is beyond fabulous. They showed up an hour late due to traffic, shut down roads, and the parade. Bride was late an hour getting ready because she was setting up and organizing. Homemade mints that traveled 3,000 miles were asked to be put out with the cake..which never happened. The bride passed them out at the door to guests leaving. Appetizers where amazing. Caterers spoke Spanish and bride had maid of honor translate the needs. Champagne flutes that were full we're cleared prematurely. Food was cleared before eaten. Cheesecake was to be passed out and guests asked which flavor they would like...instead they were just placed down and guests couldn't choose. Bride gave out custom champagne flutes to bridesmaids, which were collected and taken...they had to be sorted from the used ones that were boxed to leave. Food was delicious though. Overall a good experience.

Bon Soir, and Jeff Riley, the owner were fantastic! We were a wedding of two brides (together 21 years!) and Jeff could not have been easier to work with. The food was so good and plentiful that guests were raving about it. From appetizers to the main course and dessert it all all perfect. The filet mignon -- grilled at the site -- was unbelievable. All of the staff were very professional and friendly. I recommend them without question!

I used Bon Soir for my wedding reception held at the NYC Fire Museum. They handled everything beautifully. The cocktail hour was on a separate floor, and the food was very plentiful and absolutely delicious. Presentation was gorgeous. The bar flowed smoothly. When we reached the main reception room, all of the tables had been set up as we had discussed, with all of my requests granted. The buffet line went very smoothly, and the food was delicious. There was also never a line at the bar, which made people very happy. We have gotten rave reviews from all of our guests, who commented on how good the food was. I was also very happy that Bon Soir handled the timing of everything as we had discussed previously - I did not have to take time out of the reception to monitor anything that was going on - everything flowed very easily, which is exactly what we wanted and needed. The staff was fantastic. We could not have been happier with using Jeff Riley and the Bon Soir team for our wedding.

We used Bon Soir Caterers for our pit BBQ reception and I think, more than anything else, our guests were raving about the food. They're amazing -- their appetizers are to die for, they let us customize our menu from start to finish, and had professional, courteous, and helpful staff. Jeff the owner is amazing -- I would absolutely recommend working with them.

Our wedding was a month ago - and we are still getting compliments on how incredible the food was. Because the groom and I were so busy that day, our biggest regret was not getting to eat more at the wedding. My husband keeps trying to suggest ideas where we could use them again just so we can get some more of their appetizers. It may take a few attempts to get them to respond to your initial email inquiries or phone calls, but once you book, Jeff and the team were incredibly attentive, and helped calmed all of our worries. Finally - their prices are very reasonable - and they will not try to push anything on you, in fact Jeff gave me numerous cost cutting suggestions for our wedding. I still cannot thank them enough!
