10 out of 5! We highly recommend hiring Fancy Girl Table for your wedding or next event! Everything Jeanette and her team created was an absolute masterpiece. From her amazing menu...
, unique farm-to-table food/ingredients, and most of all her stunning presentation blew us and our guests away! During and after our wedding, our guests and ourselves have not stopped raving about how incredible the food was. Every single detail and serving was so special and delicious, it truly felt like we were eating art! It was everything and more we could have ever envisioned for our wedding day. We fully trusted Jeanette and her team to create an amazing feast for our wedding, and they exceeded all expectations! Jeanette is an absolute pleasure to work with and is a true professional. Her passion and love for her craft glows in every conversation with her. She was consistent and clear in communication and planning and always made us feel at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure our creative vision was beautifully executed, and the day of events went smooth and stress free. We feel so lucky and are so grateful to have had Jeanette and her team to be a HUGE part of our special day! All of our guests, especially us absolutely adore her and look forward to having her be a part of our events in the future!
I am not exaggerating when I say we were absolutely blown away by the food at our wedding. Every guest (literally every single guest!) we've talked to since has said it was the bes...
t food they've ever had at a wedding. Jeanette was lovely to work with and we knew everything would run smoothly, but the food itself really exceeded our expectations. Ingredients were fresh and local, steak and fish were perfectly cooked. Jeanette did both our wedding and rehearsal dinner, and was able to work with us to create two menus that felt different/evoked two unique experiences. Jeanette could not be a sweeter person to work with, and she brings with her an amazing bar partner in Michelle at Tapped Into the Catskills. The team really made our wedding special. Thank you Jeanette!!
When I thought about what kind of food we wanted for our upstate New York wedding at Gather Greene, I knew I wanted something farm to table and family style. We looked at several v...
endors, but nothing felt quite right until we found Fancy Girl. Living in California, and planning the wedding during the height of the pandemic, we ended up having to book catering before even tasting the food. Because our planners hadn’t worked with Fancy Girl before, we relied heavily on Wedding Wire and Knot reviews when making our pick and I’m not going to lie and say I wasn’t a little nervous doing so. So I’m here to tell anyone in even remotely the same boat that you WILL NOT REGRET hiring Jeanette and her team. When I wanted to create an off menu salad to celebrate the tastes of summer (heirloom tomato, peach, basil, and burrara), Jeanette didn’t even blink. She just created the freshest, most delicious salad with the ripest tomatoes and peaches from nearby farms, and creamiest burrata I’ve ever had. When we saw the menu and saw pigs in a blanket and a shot of beer, we thought how freaking cute is that (spoiler alert: our guests LOVED them and couldn’t get enough of the tiny beer mugs). We’ve heard more times than we can count now how our food was the best meal anyone has ever had at a wedding, and while we couldn’t agree more, I’d also add that frankly it was just incredible food period. I’d pay good money any day of the week for the cedar planked salmon or tender short ribs or fusilli that must have had crack in it I couldn’t get enough. And though we originally intended to have only s’mores for dessert, when Jeanette tossed in some caramel bars during our eventual tasting, we couldn’t help but add those to the menu. They were, in a word, delicious. There’s so much more I could say, like what a big smile we had on our faces when our planners told us Jeanette was foraging the day before for our wedding, or how the food was not only incredibly delicious but also INSANELY beautifully presented, but I’ll try to keep this brief and just say Fancy Girl helped make our day positively perfect and anyone would be lucky to have Jeanette and crew on their team.
The food was amazing! It has been a month since the wedding and the guests keep complimenting on the food. Jeanette was also a blast to work with. Highly recommend her for any even...
t that you need a caterer for!
Every single guest we have seen since the wedding has made a point to RAVE about the food we had. Fancy Girl did an incredible job at taking our random thoughts and ideas and creat...
ing a cohesive meal that was able to accomodate every one of our dietary restrictions, from a vegetarian who is also allergic to mushrooms, to gluten free needs. Most impressively, not a single person with dietary restriction felt like they were missing out in any way. Everything that made it onto the table was fresh, delicious, and perfectly presented. Jeanette also took excellent care of our vendors, and was so good about keeping everything on schedule and running smoothly.
Fancy Girl Table was an absolute dream to work with! The food at our wedding looked beautiful and tasted incredible. A lot of it was grown at their garden in New York adding a spec...
ial touch to each dish (including gorgeous edible flowers). They were quick to respond throughout planning. They keep their menu fresh, seasonal and locally sourced when possible. I highly recommend Fancy Girl Table to anyone looking to work with wonderful people and eat delicious, beautiful food!
We moved our wedding due to COVID and needed to find a caterer pretty last minute. We came across Jeanette and never looked back. We wanted a 95% vegan wedding with some fish and J...
eanette delivered. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her - from the tasting which was so fun and delicious, designing and executing the menu, her amazing staff who did a fantastic job, she also happily jumped in to help our florist who needed a favor the week of the wedding. The food was genuinely delicious (not just wedding delicious) and we received so much positive feedback. It was also presented beautifully. Could not recommend higher- only wish I could eat her food every day!
We wanted all the food to be vegetarian and stand out. Fancy Girl catered to our needs and provided us with delicious local and organic produce dishes. We had a chaat station at co...
cktail hour, delicious entrees, and crepe and ice cream stations for dessert. All of the guests raved about the food, and my meat-eating friends said it was the best vegetarian food they had. The salad had beautiful edible flowers, and Jeanette made sure to cater to our guests' dietary restrictions. Fancy Girl provided to-go boxes that helped minimize food waste. We enjoyed working with Fancy Girl and highly recommend them to cater your next event!

ncredibly responsive throughout the entire process.
The food we had at our tasting with Fancy Girl was so incredibly delicious, and I'm not sure how, but the entire menu we chose tasted even better the day of our wedding. We've been getting non-stop compliments from our guests about how delicious the entire menu was, from the hors d'oeuvres, to the salad to dinner & desert.
Jeanette also went out of her way and helped us with finding all the vendors we used, and the wait and bar staff she provided were so attentive and took care of absolutely everyone, especially going out of their way for my wife and myself, consistently checking in on us.
I really cannot say enough great things about how amazing Jeanette and Fancy Girl Table were. Would recommend using them as they made the entire process so easy and helped us so effortlessly to make our wedding the biggest and best party Brooklyn has ever known.
"The best wedding food we've ever had!", is what we hear most from people after our wedding in Upstate, NY in October 2018. We were on the verge of a catastrophe after having a fa...
lling out with our first caterer only a few months prior to our wedding date over unexpected charges and exorbitant prices. Jeanette was there to pick up the pieces. She provided an excellent tasting on short notice, worked within our budget, and was transparent about ALL costs upfront. She went above and beyond the call of duty by working hand-in-hand with the rental company to ensure we had all we needed for our wedding, which took a lot of the stress off of us. Her menu was nothing short of incredible, from all of the plentiful options, it's great taste, the beautiful presentation, and on. Best of all, it was all organic, farm-to-table food, exactly what we envisioned people enjoying at our wedding. I cannot say enough great things about Jeanette and her team (wonderful day-of coordination, to boot) and highly recommend booking for your next wedding/big event in NYC/the Hudson Valley region!
My husband and I wanted to have a vegan wedding - which we knew would be a challenge! One of our top priorities whilst planning our wedding was to have good food - we had been to t...
oo many weddings where the food was mediocre or sometimes inedible. We were introduced to Fancy Girl Table via my wedding planner, and boy were we glad she recommended them. Jeanette and Margaret gave us a tasting that was beyond our wildest imaginations. We knew immediately that they would be the ones to cater our special day. Jeanette and Margaret were both so unbelievably accommodating - there were several times that they went out of their way to meet me at my office - they even hand-delivered cake samples to me because I couldn't get away from work. They made the entire catering process smooth and easy. When the big day came, our guests were floored - even the skeptical ones. Every single guest commented on how good the food was - we even heard some people say they could go vegan! When my husband and I walked around to greet guests, we couldn't help but notice how everyone had cleaned their plates. Jeanette worked with us to customize the perfect menu that left everyone satisfied and impressed with how delicious vegan food can be! Fancy Girl Table made our wedding day even more spectacular than either of us could have imagined. THANK YOU!!!!
Jeanette and her team of "Fancy Girls" are an outstanding group. We had a vegetarian/pescatarian wedding and they concocted a delicious and impressive menu that pleased all of our ...
guests, vegans and carnivores alike! Along with the plated dinner and passed apps, they created a cheese station for cocktail hour, a cookie bar for take away treats, an all night coffee/tea bar AND our DELICIOUS WEDDING CAKE. Our relationship with Fancy Girl Table also began with a complimentary and comprehensive tasting. We felt very secure in our decision and could clearly see our wedding on their plates. Very easy to work with and their service staff was excellent!
The first thing that drew us to Fancy Girl were the rave reviews of the vegetarian friendly cuisine (which I can now confirm were true). What won us over was the amazing tasting th...
at Jeanette and D'Anne put on, which allowed us to try so many delicious options.
Everything Fancy Girl prepared for our vegetarian wedding was delicious, beautiful, and well put together. The team was easy to work with leading up to the wedding and the day-of went perfectly.
We had so many complements on the food and specialty cocktails and couldn't recommend Fancy Girl more!
With an understanding of dietary restrictions, Fancy Girl Table met with myself and my mother -who helped organize most of the planning- to make sure everyone involved in the weddi...
ng party was happy. From colors to themes, the professionals of this business went above and beyond to please myself and my husband.
The staff was polite and courteous, the food amazingly delicious, and the range of selections kept a wide variety of people happy. From bacon to vegan cupcakes, Fancy Girl Tables ensured that I had one of the best days of my life!
Thank you!!

Truly truly amazing, delicious, impressive, BEAUTIFUL, creative food --and charge half of what the other folks will charge you. I work in PR and events in NYC and I know every cat...
erer in the tri-state area, and Fancy Girl is truly a step above. By the way, look at her profile on The Knot --you'll see how every dish she looks like it stepped out of the pages of a magazine...gorgeous.
I also had a rule that I would ONLY use vendors for my wedding that were lovely and kind and fun to work with -- Fancy Girl is all of these things as well as professional, fast, responsive.
If you want people to TALK about the incredible, delicious food at your wedding, Fancy Girl is your caterer! People never talk about how amazing food is at wedding because it's usually...not amazing.
Here are just a few of the reasons why I was SO blown away with the food at the wedding and the entire process of working with Fancy Girl:
-I had some ideas for what we wanted that we gave to Jeanette, Deanna, and her team at Fancy Girl, and they took it up about 5 notches...SO creative. We ended up doing family style with the most delicious Mac & Cheese, steak, chicken, and other tasty dishes...(surprise late night snack: artisinal grilled cheese sandwiches that I still dream about)
-Fancy Girl is one of the few caterers that is organic/farm to table and uses local farms for the best ingredients; this means you're not getting mass produced chicken that's been frozen for 4 years (my worst fear!)
---they also specialize in vegetarian, organic, vegan food options... so tasty and amazing, your meat and potato-eating uncle won't even notice!
-I told her my budget and she was so lovely about staying within this; it's incredibly hard to find a caterer that isn't going to try to get you to spend even more
-Jeanette who runs Fancy Girl ONLY hires lovely, super professional staff...so everyone at my wedding SO friendly, and sweet...and went out of their way to make me feel so special for the wedding
-Want super unique touches like edible flowers on all of your dishes? check.
Can't recommend Fancy Girl enough...
Fancy Girl Table catered my New Year's Eve wedding and did an amazing job. The wedding was vegan and many of my guests were leary about the idea of vegan food, but Fancy Girl total...
ly proved them wrong! After the dinner, several of my "foodie" guests came over to rave about the food. They couldn't believe how good it was. My husband is a professional chef with very high standards for food. He loved it as well. We feel that Fancy Girl was the perfect fit for us--extremely competent, easy to work with, and able to create a truly delicious menu that matched our values. I can't recommend Jeanette and her team strongly enough!
We went with Fancy Girl after Jeanette, Margaret, and D'Anne walked us through an outstanding tasting, with a complete menu of truly delicious (and quite large) dishes. We were sim...
ply wowed by how good the food was. And their help picking out table decor in the rental showroom was indispensable.
We needed all-vegetarian (and some vegan) catering for our wedding, and wanted to surprise our meat-eating relatives with just how good eating veggie can be. Fancy Girl absolutely delivered, with a wonderful, eclectic menu that had our guests complimenting the food at every turn. Highlights included sweet potato and black bean enchiladas, tofu vera cruz with heirloom potato and chipotle tomato sauce, quinoa sliders, a great Mexican cobb salad with veggie chorizo, and simply fantastic desserts (carrot cake whoopie pies, a dark chocolate pudding with caramel sea salt popcorn, and chocolate caramel cookie bars).
The team was extremely responsive to our emails and calls throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, D'Anne served as our captain/coordinator, and was truly helpful and responsive, keeping us updated regularly as the day went on. It was truly a relief to know we were working with someone who was keeping track of everything for us on the big day.
