Thank you Charles & Charles for making our wedding day a flawless and tasty day that my family and I will remember forever. I don't know how it is possible, but they were able to provide five star quality food to all of our 200 guests on Hunter mountain. It was by far the best braised beef short ribs I have ever had. Our family is still raving about everything! Well done guys and bravo!

If you're looking for a catering company, this is the one! Charles and his team were incredible for our wedding. After our wedding tasting, it was so hard to pick the menu because everything we had tried was OUTSTANDING. At the wedding, my husband and I got to try eachhors d'oeuvre selection and every dish! We were blown away once again. All of our guest had amazing things to say about the food through the cocktail hour and dinner service! Thank you chef & team!!

Charles and his team were absolutely AMAZING!!! He made my husband and I so comfortable and calm amongst all of the chaos of the uncertainty, inclement weather and last minute changes that come with an outdoor wedding. It was such a blessing to have him and his FOOD. Truly the most talented kind and genuine team- they were one of the things that went so so right! Way above expectations. Charles is incredible at what he does and we were beyond appreciative for his talent, professionalism and attention to detail. Working with him was the cherry on top! Truly grateful for Charles & Charles making such delicious food on our special day, but even more so for their commitment to making it the best day for my husband and I and our families. Thank you SO much again!!! We cannot recommend you enough- you are a rock star.

I HAD to come and make a profile to leave a review! I attended my cousins wedding and OMG the food was out of this world. Im old school and always was told to fill up during cocktail hour because you never know with the food. LET ME TELL YOU the cocktail hour was amazing food!! The meatball sliders were F**** outstanding, and the dinner was the best short ribs ive ever had. For every one looking at these reviews, there food is hands down the best food ive had at a wedding and im 63 years old and been to a lot. BOOK THESE GUYS!

I should have written this review months ago for these guys!!! Chef Charlie sent us a wonderful thank you message last week asking if I wouldn't mind taking a minute to write a review. For ALLLL that you did for us this is the least we could do!!! We cannot thank you enough for organizing our wedding day (multiple times). We began our wedding planning process just before the pandemic. After 3 changed dates, we finally made it happen this past summer. Charlie was so accommodating, calm, and collective the entire time. Gave my husband and I reassurance that our day would be flawless. CJ and Charlie are the best! The food was out of this world! I hope these guys open up a restaurant soon because I will be there every week!!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you guys.

OUTSTANDING! Charles and Charlie took care of my daughter's big day from start to finish. The waiters were all top notch and beyond polite. I am a bit picky when it comes to this line of work as I myself grew up in this industry. Let me tell you. They know their craft! The food was devine. Everyone still talks about how wonderful each course was. I cannot express enough gratitude towards this team.

We absolutely loved working with Charles and Charles for our wedding catering. From the initial meeting/tasting, we were made to feel special and they came across very prepared, competent, friendly, and easy to work with. These traits continued throughout the planning process and during our event. They were pro-active to schedule quick meetings to walk through event details to ensure they were prepared. On our wedding day, we had multiple guests compliment the attentiveness and friendliness of the staff. The food and drinks were also excellent. Throughout the process my husband and I reflected multiple times on how happy we were that we chose them. One of our favorite vendors and would highly recommend!

He created a flavorful autumn menu that our guests are still talking about! Trust me, you need to book these guys!!!! Thank you, Charles and Charles!!!!

I just threw a bridal shower and had so many compliments about the food from Charles & Charles! From the beginning, the process was very easy. Chef Charles was very helpful with helping me pick the menu and was able to accommodate the entire menu for the bride who is gluten free. The food looked BEAUTIFUL and the extra cost for the wood trays was well worth it. The food was absolutely delicious as well. I highly highly recommend!

I don't normally leave reviews but I felt it would be a disservice not to for Charles & Charles Catering.
They were so easy to work with, reasonably priced, set-up was on time, food was kept warm, and my needing adjustments to the menu was never met with resistance.
The cajun tofu tacos that is not normally a menu item was not only prepared perfectly but received so many compliments from my vegan/vegetarian friends (and my carnivorous friends as well.)
Highly recommend C&C catering for your next event!

My wife and I could not be happier with Charles and Charles. They helped guide us through some uncertain months of postponing and planning our wedding during the pandemic. Luckily we were able to have our dream wedding come to life this past summer. Charles and Charles were a godsend! We cannot thank them enough!! Book them now!

How do I even begin to say how amazing these two gentleman are. Chef Charlie was an angel from the day we met to the day of our wedding. So kind and reassuring. Cj (the other Charles) brought a level of service that is unmatched. Their team is just as wonderful and professional! They go above and beyond every step of the way! We could not have asked for a better catering team to execute our wedding day! And the FOOOOD!! Out of this world!

We used Charles and Charles for our daughter’s wedding this past month based on the rave reviews, reasonable pricing, ease of use of their website, variety of options, and friendly service. We worked with Together for a little over a year since we had to postpone the wedding due to the pandemic. They were incredibly helpful, patient, informative, and attentive to all the details. They were kind enough to honor the pricing on our original contract even though we had to postpone a year. They thoughtfully handled special requests for our guests with gluten allergies, the vendor meals, our ice cream cakes, and a family who had to depart early with toddler but we wanted to have meals. They kept everything neat and clean without removing table coverings until the guests were leaving. They had everything ready on time, were polite, warm, friendly and respectful with all of our guests, and they did a great job of cutting the 8 ice cream cakes we had delviered and getting them out quickly before any melting. We went with an Italian meal and food was quite good and especially loved the seasoned vegetables and garlic bread. Outstanding service and presentation. So thanks again Charles and Charles

We just had Charles and Charles cater our wedding. It was perfect! The food from beginning to end. The hors d'oeuvres and the main meal we had were both amazing! We had them serve an Italian style meal that was to die for! We wouldn’t have changed a thing. The staff that helped make this all happen were so nice and sweet to everyone. I even talked to a couple people at the wedding that were serving and setting things up and they are very professional and sincere to anyone they talked to. They focused on our details, helped me with listing the ingredients for people we had coming who had allergies just in case. These guys are amazing. We will definitely use them in e future for another big event. Thank you Charleses for everything you are, your staff and the amazing food you create. You helped make our day feel whole. Thank you!

Charles and his team are the absolute best vendors we could have possibly asked for; Charles was an absolute godsend from start to finish - so communicative and kind, we truly felt like we were working with a friend rather than a vendor. He handled my THOUSANDS of questions and emails with such grace and patience and eased my mind at every turn. The food was absolutely fantastic - cooked perfectly, delicious and served by professionals for our 180 person wedding. I cannot recommend them enough - I am forever indebted to them for pulling off such a fantastic event!

This food is amazing. Our wedding was almost 1 month ago now and people are still raving about the food! Charles & Charles has so many great food options, and the price is right!! We worked with Charlie throughout our planning process and he was so attentive, professional, and fun to work with!! At our tasting we fell in love immediately. Charles & Charles went out of their way to accommodate us after a venue change and we could not be more thankful to them for that. Even with traveling farther then originally planned they made it work perfectly and served some of the best food we have ever had. The quality of the food is top notch. My husband runs a restaurant and was very picky when choosing our caterer. They had us with the first bite of food we tried. If you want true good food and a memorable meal I would HIGHLY recommend Charles & Charles Catering.

Oh my gosh. Where do I even begin with Charles & Charles Catering? I love them! Absolutely amazing people, incredible crew, and phenomenal food. This review will pale in comparison to how great of an experience my wife and I had with this catering team.
To start off, I have to talk about Charles Birney. What a kind, patient, enthusiastic individual; someone who radiates authenticity and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. He’s down-to-earth, inviting, accommodating, but also someone who is passionate about his work and takes great pride in making sure you’ll get the wedding dinner you desire your guests to have.
When we sat down to go over menu options, he answered all our questions, explained his dishes to us in detail, and told us which options would do better with an autumn-themed wedding…I can go on and on. We didn’t feel like a bother to him whatsoever and you can tell he genuinely loved talking about his menu and couldn’t wait to start cooking everything for us. He even made an extra dish of his braised-short rib and risotto and dropped it off at my house so that we could get a sampling! Who does that??
Being that my wife is gluten-free and had special requests - he was able to meet all our needs with ease. We even had to make some changes throughout the weeks leading up to our wedding and he was so gracious and worked with us every step of the way. Lastly, I want to mention Charles was willing to work with our budget as well which was much appreciated because weddings get expensive rather quickly.
The other Charles, CJ, was awesome as well. He showed up to the venue the day before the wedding to set up the tables and make sure everything was going according to plan. Super nice guy and had a great attitude during, what can be, a stressful time for a bride and groom. He reassured us that we had absolutely nothing to worry about as far as the food was concerned.
And their crew - oh my goodness, what a great team! All their servers were so hardworking and friendly. Warm smiles all around and met our every need. Everyone got their food on time, they made sure drinks were being refilled, and Chris, one of their servers, even brought hors d’oeuvres to my wife and I during the photos to make sure we were fed. How thoughtful!
Again, I can go on and on. I highly recommend this caterer. If you want to have food that your guests will rave about while simultaneously receiving top dining-service, then Charles and Charles Catering is the caterer for you!

Charlie and CJ are AMAZING! From the first day we started to plan our wedding they communicated everything with us so clearly and thoughtfully. Their food and service are both INCREDIBLE! They make themselves totally available to you and make sure to work with you to make your bid day the best that it can be. They are so kind and down to earth, we felt truly taken care of. Their level of attentiveness, thoughtful touches, and professionalism really sets the bar high for everyone else in the business. Truly, I don't know how we could've ever had our wedding without them! I wish I had more space to write a longer review. I cannot say enough good things about them. BOOK THEM!

Charles & Charles catered my wedding with 40 days notice. We had to re-schedule and re-plan our wedding from scratch. We reached out to Charles & Charles and luckily for us, the date was open! They worked with us through the voluminous menu which truly showcases their culinary talents, we picked a menu based on our guests, location, weather and type of dinner service. Charles & Charles are true professionals who think of every little detail so that you don't have to. The food was presented thoughtfully and beautifully, and it tasted incredible. Our guests still talk about how delicious our food was.
They are true professionals and beyond accommodating. They took a very tense and stressful time and made it fun and relaxing. Our wedding would not have been complete without Charles & Charles.

Charles & Charles took the worry away from me when I had to change my wedding plans from a local venue to my parents' backyard. The buffet was spectacular and they went to such great lengths to adhere to protocols to keep us all Covid-safe! That extra attention to detail at this time really gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our very special day!

Charles and Charles Catering did an exceptional job catering my Mother’s birthday dinner. Chef Charles is so easy to work with. He listened to my needs and gave great suggestions on what to serve. I utilized the pick up option and the food was ready to go on time and still hot. Everyone at our party commented on how fresh and amazing everything tasted. Their professionalism is truly unmatched.

Charles & Charles Catering was able to serve the off site wedding we attended on a mountain top in Saugerties, NY with the same level of quality as though they had full commercial kitchen at their disposal. Chuck’s paella is outstanding and truly something to behold. You can’t go wrong with Charles & Charles!

Charles & Charles Catering offers exceptional service and even better food. I was especially blown away by the Chef's taco station which offered 3 different options including beef, chicken and fish. I am not exaggerating when I say these were some of the best tacos I have ever had! Do not hesitate to book this company for any of your catering needs, you will not be disappointed!

Charles and Charles Catering is five stars across the board. To start, Chef Charles is professional and extremely personable . He understood all that I was looking for and provided an array of entrée and appetizer options. When it came down the actual event, Chef Charles and his team were flawless. From cooking and serving all the way to clean up, I did not have to stress about a thing! I can honestly say, this was the best food I've ever had at an event/wedding and could not speak more highly of Charles and Charles Catering to friends and family. Hands down #1 caterer in the Hudson Valley.
