East End Events Catering

fe, etc. I was required to bring in and my wedding simply wouldn't have been possible without them. They truly go above and beyond to make your day incredible, and most importantly stress free. The attached photo shows Chris literally wiping the floor during a band break. Their staff set up all of my beautiful tablescapes, welcome stations, etc. Chris also set up my entire ceremony after an issue day of with the rental company. Aside from how above and beyond they went, the food was incredible. I married an Italian so my guests take food very seriously and the positive feedback was resounding. Chris and Joanne truly saved my day and blew every expectation out of the water. We are immensely grateful to have found them!

riday night. He helped us negotiate prices, and wouldn’t let us give him a down payment until we tried his food at a tasting with our parents. We had 2 tastings and went with the trilogy (every guest gets beef, poultry, and fish), which everyone raved about. The cocktail hour food was out of this world, and we did pies and apple cider donuts for dessert, along with passed late night apps. If you are thinking of getting married on the North Fork, call East End Events before anything else and see where they work!!

food was excellent and they made our day so much smoother.

s. From the moment guests arrived to right before they left East End had everything covered. The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the attention to detail made our wedding day that much more perfect. And of course Melanie, our day of coordinator made the day go off without a hitch! She took over so we had no care in the world. Simply amazing, highly recommend.

hich was a highlight (as was the raw bar). Chris and Joanne were so helpful in the planning process too - Joanne basically replied immediately to any email I sent and she helped us coordinate with other vendors too. Our maitre d Jane was so great - she had a tray of appetizers ready for us as soon as we were done with pictures and had us sit down and take a minute to eat and enjoy some time alone. She made sure we always had a drink in our hands too. The entire wait staff was so attentive as well. They also did a great job at our venue working with the florist to set up all our decorations and make sure everything was beautiful. I can't say enough about how much we loved the food and the service!!!

ined calm (well me… my husband is as calm as they come), and was just there for us. Chris and Joanne are professional and such kind hearted people. PS go out and try CJs American Grill in Mattituck its honestly amazing. Food… East End Caterers: their food is absolutely amazing. I wish I ate more. Everyone and I mean everyone loved the food. Cocktail hour was amazing – they set up a few plates for us to eat in our bridal suite which was so nice because as soon as we went to cocktail hour it was chatting and picture time with everyone. The food was honestly so delicious. Passed horderves were to die for, cocktail hour tables were set up so amazing and delicious, action table phenomenal, dinner trio was so good, and the dessert came out amazing as well. Jane – our day of coordinator. I don’t think I could have remained as calm if she wasn’t right by our side. It rained (briefly) and we had to decide if we wanted to move the ceremony inside – Jane just let me know everything was going to be alright. Weather right after the drizzle was gorgeous. There were a few other hiccups with different vendors and Jane was right there to help every step of the way. All staff- all staff members at East End Events are kind and professional. I couldn’t have asked for a better crew.

ith various due dates (menu decisions, seating chart due dates). Chris (chef) is so passionate about what he does, you can truly tell he loves his work. We had a raw bar during cocktail hour and Chris himself was shucking oysters and took the time to take pictures with us eating fresh clams and oysters!! Our guests raved about the food….their “trilogy” style menu is both a time saver (no down time with wait staff taking orders) and amazing for guests - everyone gets everything! The fish, steak, and chicken! You really do get it all! Even our foodie friends were impressed with how every thing was served hot, cooked perfectly, and seasoned just right. Everything is cooked on site - they bring a grill and make everything fresh. It’s incredible. The waitstaff couldn’t be more accommodating, they were so friendly to each one of our guests and helped to set the tone of the evening. Finally, the cake that’s included in the caterer package is beyond delicious…definitely get their cake, there’s no reason to find another baker! We did the cupcake tower with a small cake on top for pictures. We added our own ice cream bar with local pies and cider donuts keeping with the theme of the wedding. I don’t have a single negative thing to say about the entire experience from when we did our first tasting right up until the dessert bar at the wedding. Hire Chris and Joanne, no need to look at any other caterer!!!

own of costs everything was communicated clearly and what we were told back in 2019 was the same when it came time for payment in 2021. In terms of the food, chef Chris and his team do such fine work. We received so many compliments from our guests about the food and its presentation. Nobody left our wedding hungry. Lastly the staff assembled to work our wedding was top-notch. We felt to attended to on our big day that it left us feel stress free to the point where we were truly able to enjoy our wedding. Back when planning began, we coincidentally decided to go with Chris and Joanne before we even picked our wedding venue, turns out that was 100% the right decision. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for catering services.

h was a HUGE hit and Chris was at the raw bar shucking clams the whole time. All of the food from cocktail hour, to our plated dinner was incredible. We got so many compliments and are guests could not believe he was able to cook everything fresh and on site. Chris and Joanne are so passionate about what they do and will ensure that your wedding day will be nothing short of amazing! I would recommend them 1000x.

nding and was repeatedly complimented by the guests. The wait staff was incredible: very friendly to the guests, efficient and always attentive. Clare served as our event manager/maitre d’ and never missed a beat! We depended on her to make sure all was in order and she did not disappoint. All in all, this is a top notch, all inclusive caterer whose value and professionalism are unmatched!

re they experienced, professional, honest, and TRUSTWORTHY, but their food is OUTSTANDING too! We could not recommend them more! Everyone at the wedding was so impressed by them as well!

have or things you are not sure about, they will help you meet whatever goals you have price-wise and will connect you with other vendors to make your wedding the best!

oanne make the perfect team. Meeting Joanne at the beginning and planning the wedding to having Chris at the wedding making sure the food was amazing, which mind you it was. I could have not asked for a better caterer to cater my outdoor wedding. Mind you, my wedding was not supposed to be outdoors but due to covid, adjustments had to be made. This amazing team made it quick and easy for me. They are literally the best! Thank you, The Babiak's 5/15/2021

s and oysters during the cocktail hour and that was a big hit. Jane made us feel very comfortable during the wedding and she was very professional. My guests all commented how delicious the food was and all asked who the caterer was. East End Events made us very happy with our choice of caterers.

hat everyone was taking pictures with and it helped with our wedding theme. They are wonderful to work with, and quickly responded to any questions we had in planning everything last minute during COVID. They made us feel safe and comfortable and made our wedding event so beautiful and intimate. They made our dreams come true. Thank you!

ional. We are over the moon with our choice. Look no further.

n-laws wedding a great experience all around. Owners Chris & Joanne we’re a pleasure to work with from start to finish.

aitre’D was keen on the little details making our ceremony and reception perfect. Our guests went on and on about not only how great the food was; but how the service and coordination was better than the best catering halls they have been to. It doesn’t get any better than them; they go above and beyond to ensure you have smile during the planning of your event and very long after. Cannot say enough how much they meant to the success of our day.

person, let alone vendor, I’ve ever come into contact with. My husband and I work full time and would do a lot of wedding planning at night and it was to the point where I almost felt bad emailing Joanne late because I knew she would respond right away. Not only that, she is ridiculously experienced and has a great personality. She helped us select our menu, offered ideas for various speciality things we wanted to do (a mac and cheese bar!) and was extremely helpful with organizing other aspects of our wedding. Besides your venue, your caterer is the most important vendor to deal with regarding the flow of your day, and it is important to choose someone who knows what they’re doing. Tina was our maitre’d, and she was so sweet and professional. Tina was instrumental in coordinating our day and in helping us with all the little details. Our guests raved about the food, and we opted for East End’s “trilogy” selection, which was super unique and like nothing I had ever seen before. We also opted to do late night grilled cheeses and burgers, which our guests also loved. We loved working with Chris, who was genuinely excited for us and executed the entire evening flawlessly. Overall, we are so happy we used East End Catering and cannot recommend them enough!

e still talking about it! Thank you so much for making our day so special and unforgettable!

he cocktail hour was so good and everything was made gluten free for my husband and tasted amazing. Ah and the dinner was so amazing! All of my guests raved about how good the food was. Also, I have to say a big Thank You to our Maitre D, Barbara, who also works with Chris and Joanne. She is a legend! She made my wedding come to life and I was able to have my pinterest wedding. She was the best! I can not thank everyone enough. If you want an amazing wedding you need to have Chris and Joanne. FACTS!

like they were trying to nickel and dime us on anything. The food was amazing, the best wedding food I have experienced. Everyone loved the raw bar at the cocktail hour! Our maitre d Marissa was super easy to work with and helped us figure out all the logistics the day of. She made sure everything went smoothly and the day was absolutely perfect for us. I cannot enough good things about east end catering, they helped to make my wedding day perfect and I am so grateful!

ible to work with and we would recommend them to ANYONE who has any kind of even to host. First of all, not only do Chris and Joanne run a restaurant and cater, but they also will help you (greatly) with the wedding planning process. When we first decided to get married out east, they had us over their restaurant and presented plate after plate of delicious food (drinks, too!) where we talked about our vision for our wedding. This wasn’t even an official tasting. Then, Chris proceeded to drive us to different vineyards that we may be interested in for our wedding. Once we decided on one, Chris and Joanne also helped us by recommending vendors, who were also awesome and very reasonably priced. Since we did not get married in a traditional hall, so many people asked us if we were getting a wedding planner. With Chris and Joanne, we did NOT need one. So, about the food. Delicious! And so much! I come from a traditional Italian family and they raved about the stuffed clams and the pasta--not an easy feat. While selecting our menu, Chris and Joanne kept letting us add on and making suggestions for what else to include, at no extra cost. People still talk about our cocktail hour. My husband and I were busy schmoozing during it, but the staff constantly made sure we had food and drinks in hand. We also did not do a traditional sit down dinner, we did a buffet, and they did an amazing job. As an added bonus, people, especially the kids at our wedding--for whom they did not charge us AND made special kid-friendly plates--loved the s'mores pit. Our guests also made room for the Kobe beef sliders and pigs-in-a-blanket from the food truck at the end of the wedding. (I’m convinced they saved me from a hangover.) It takes not only admirable business owners, but an incredible staff to make an event run as well as our wedding did. Their staff is exceptionally professional and warm. Everyone was extremely accommodating, efficient, and friendly. Fantastic to work with. They set up the wedding beautifully. They even put out corn hole on the lawn outside the vineyard. They also provide a day-of-planner. Jane was ours and she was absolutely outstanding. I could NOT have enjoyed our wedding day as much as I did without her. She was incredibly receptive, open, and hilarious from our initial meeting and went above and beyond to help us plan. You should see the texts and e-mails between us. She even mapped out the table placement for the seating charts--lifesaver! I don’t think my wedding day could have been possible without her. We truly were in good hands. Finally, they will come to your rescue--no problem is unsolvable for them. Around four weeks before our date, we had an issue with our rehearsal dinner--which ⅔ of the wedding guests attended--and had to completely shift gears. When we contacted them, asking them if they could cater our rehearsal dinner, they responded immediately and even made a menu with options that would be different from our wedding. (Their chocolate cake was seriously one of the best desserts I’ve ever eaten. It tasted like a chocolate shake in cake form.) The last-minute change was extremely stressful for us, but once we knew Chris and Joanne were involved, we felt so much better.
