Bridge Creek Catering

Where to even begin with Jessica and Bridge Creek Catering?! From our very first email inquiry to our over 80 emails together through over one year of wedding planning to finally having our big day, everyone with this group was nothing but fantastic. Catering and service is such a staple to a wedding day and was one of the vendors I was most nervous about booking. My husband and I were looking for someone who would work with us and meet us at our ideas and needs for budget, experience, and food/plating type. Jessica was our main contact and planner at BCC and she was warm, friendly, and enthusiastic from our first exchange. She was unlike the cold and very to the point package offer emails that I received from other businesses. She immediately offered to chat over the phone about not only what I was specifically looking for but to also explain BCC’s usual role and offerings for weddings as well as additional ways she could brainstorm a plan for our wedding day that was in line with exactly what we imagined. It was immediately clear that her customers mattered to her and she was very service oriented. Throughout our year plus of working together she was very consistent and prompt with her communication, always very professional, and extremely helpful with a list of things longer than I can even write. In an endless exchange of emails she was always there to solve problems, answer questions big or small, and take on tasks and organization without even asking. I was blown away by her very clearly organized and ironed out preparation and execution of wedding planning. For example, Jessica offered sample wedding day timelines, finalized menus, and complete venue blueprints (with countless rearrangements and touch ups) for me to work with often before I had even thought to tackle these myself. As an overly organized bride this made me so happy and made my planning of décor, schedules, and seating charts infinitely easier. She approached all of these items with nothing but excitement and always with ensuring I was able to get exactly (or as close to as possible) what I wanted and needed. Our wedding was held at Senate Garage, where BCC is a regular vendor and I was so grateful for this given Jessica’s familiarity and experience with the venue and her already established relationship with our venue coordinators. I have no doubt that Jessica and her team do fabulous work at all places but I was grateful for this cherry on top combo. Another added bonus to BCC is their fun and up to date Instagram account. I loved following the events that they hosted leading up to our wedding and of course adore the reel that they created of our own wedding day. This is a small but noticeable detail to brides, showing that BCC is proud of displaying their work and truly present and invested in their client’s events and the big role that they play in it. We asked a LOT of both Jessica and her team in terms of décor, tablescapes, and dinner timing. They happily took on the responsibility for our place settings, tablescapes, and venue décor with the additional help from our venue DOC’s and PERFECTLY executed out vision. They seamlessly executed rather quick course turnarounds in order to get through speeches and get to dancing as I hoped for and still later had dessert prepared and displayed (with an even better donut display than I had imagined, all without asking!) in time before our photographer left. Jessica and her team did this happily and gracefully. Our guests all raved about the passed appetizers at cocktail hour and there was plenty to go around, with the staff doing an excellent job of making rounds to all of the guests. My husband and I enjoyed our private bridal suite appetizer platter that they hand delivered to us after the ceremony to ensure we were able to sample everything. We decided for dinner to do a one standard duet plating of salmon and chicken for all of our guests (with a silent vegetarian option if chosen). We were so happy with this decision and were quite impressed by the quality, taste, and portioning of dinner. I told Jessica on wedding day that I have never attended a wedding that I didn’t leave hungry from until ours. It was so important for my husband and I to try to keep all of our wedding vendors and as many pieces of wedding day within “supporting local” and I am so happy that we chose Bridge Creek Catering to fulfill this. An overall incredible group to work with, outstanding service, a beautiful execution of the best day of our lives, all while offering tasty food to experience it with. BCC was a huge piece of our wedding day and we could never thank them enough for all of their hard work in everything they gave us on this day!!

Jamie, Jessica, and the entire team at Bridge Creek were absolutely fantastic!! I am SO thrilled that we decided to work with them. Every step of the process was easy and also fun! AND the food was FANTASTIC! So many friends came up to us throughout the night commenting on their meals, salad, even to make sure we knew how delicious the bread was! (Which then reminded us to make sure we sat down to eat). The team also sent us home with an amazing box of leftovers of our dinner options and dessert. Food was a huge priority to us and we were so thrilled to find a company that not only had amazing food but also offered such amazing support and detailed planning. From our first proposal, they provided us with extremely detailed information. They took care of setting up all the rentals with the rental company (events unlimited) and provided us with a great seating chart, timeline, and more. On top of having all of this detail, they were extremely communicative, flexible, and kind. Anytime I had big questions they were more than willing to jump on the phone to chat through everything with me. They were especially helpful the week leading up to the wedding as our weather outlook was not great and they were calling for rain on the day of the wedding. We were so close to being in the clear for our ceremony and cocktail hour, but had a downpour right before the wedding began - and the entire team worked so quickly to move everything under the tent and still make it feel AWESOME! I also wanted to note how great the tasting and then cake-tasting experience was. My husband was unable to join me so my man of honor and I drove up to Bridge Creek for the tasting and it was a really lovely experience. They also made an iconic dessert from my hometown (Gooey Butter Cake from St. Louis) and were so open to adjustments to make sure it tasted like home! We opted for a small ceremonial cake as we were doing a large dessert table so did not place too much pressure on the cake element. Well - the cake was DELICIOUS! When we went to pick up our 3 samples, they were not only delicious but so beautiful. I could go on and on about how wonderful Bridge Creek was. So I want to comment on one last element. The Staff. The staff was kind, attentive, and worked diligently to make our wedding everything we dreamed of and more! Don’t hesitate to reach out to Bridge Creek if you will be getting married in the Hudson Valley area!

We hired Bridge Creek Catering for our September 2023 wedding at Senate Garage and everything from the food, drinks, set-up and service, exceeded our expectations. The tasting was such a fun and delicious experience (so much food!), and also a nice moment to meet Jessica and TJ in person before the wedding day. Throughout the entire process, the BCC team went above and beyond to help us craft our menu, signature drinks, ideal cake, the rentals, timeline for the evening, floor plan, and more. Figuring out the rentals list, as well as a floor plan, were intimidating tasks but Jessica made both seamless and everything looked great when it all came together. Everyone kept talking about how good their meals were after the wedding. We had many guests with allergies or dietary restrictions and BCC was so accommodating to make sure everyone could enjoy their meal on the wedding day. I have an allergy and during cocktail hour the captain found me to alert me of how they swapped out the nuts in my salad for ones I could eat. This level of service truly impressed us and I've never experienced this at any other wedding. Working with Jessica was so easy and enjoyable - she is incredibly thoughtful, responsive with communication, has great attention to detail (often thought of things we hadn't yet) and mindful of our budget. We are so glad we hired BCC for our wedding day and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a down-to-earth, helpful, professional, farm-to-table and delicious caterer.

Jamie at Bridge Creek did what was most important, communication we were informed every step of the way every detail was presented to us. The service was incredible. The food was also top-notch. I couldn’t ask for more I totally recommend them.
