Fresh Company is fantastic! They were great to work with, they were eager to accommodate our special requests (including by creating amazing charcuterie cones and specialty cocktails featuring cherries from Michigan, where we met!), and they served absolutely delicious food. We'd be thrilled if we got food of this quality at any top restaurant (which is so impressive given that Fresh Company was cooking for 150 in a tent on a 95 degree day!). Our guests were raving about their meals. We highly recommend Fresh Company!
Fresh Company was a major contibutor to making my daughter's vegan brunch wedding a big success. Many caterers say they are adept at a vegan menu but really have no idea of how to do it. Fresh Company can do vegan as well as any type of food. They presented our 132 guests (many of whom were not familiar with, and wary of, anything vegan ) with delicious and beautifully presented food. Many guests complimented us on our choice of caterer. Aside from the great food, the service was excellent. They provided wonderful guidance on choice of alcoholic beverages and approprate foods for a brunch. They paid attention to what we envisioned for the type of wedding we wanted and they were always prompt in answering our many questions during the whole planning. My advice is do not hesitate to use them. You will look back and say you made a good choice.
When we decided to have our wedding in our home for our thirty guests, we knew we wanted the food to really be something special. We stumbled across The Fresh Company online and what we read (and saw), described exactly the kind of caterer we wanted. They prepare the food on-site using locally sourced ingredients, creating a seasonal menu that appeals to children as well as adults. We contacted them by phone just 3 weeks before the wedding! We met with our planner, Damaris Drummond, and she really paid attention as we described our vision for the food. We were treated to samples as we described our special requirements and requested alternate ingredients. She made sure we knew we could have anything we wanted. She created the perfect menu for us! When we made the decision to move ahead, they had just two weeks to pull everything together. On the morning of the wedding, our event manager, Kevin, took charge and transformed our home beautifully. Our chef and wait person did an outstanding job preparing and setting out the buffet. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the food or service and would highly recommend them for any event, large or small. Our friends and family are still talking about how great the food was at our wedding. Thank you, Fresh Company for being an important part of our special day!
Fresh Company played a huge role in making our wedding an absolutely success. The food was delicious and the service was perfect. Many of our guests kept commenting on how delicious the food was and not just delicious "wedding food" but all around awesome goodness. The ingredients were fresh, the food was served hot, everyone seemed to get their food in a timely manner, the staff was super sweet. If there were any hiccups that day we knew nothing of them.
Working with the Fresh team was wonderful throughout. We chose to serve dinner family style and the team at Fresh helped us craft the perfect menu for that format. Everything was easy - we went in for a tasting, they customized the menu to meet our budget without sacrificing on flavor and delivered on a perfect evening. Our dinner was on a farm - Kevin made sure we had all of the appropriate rentals, he thought of every detail, and guided us through the process. He handled everything on the day of. It was seamless!
So so so happy we chose Fresh for our wedding.
From the first e-mail exchange to the post-wedding breakdown and cleanup, the team at Fresh Company was a dream to work with. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the draft menu they presented as it clearly displayed Shelley and the culinary staff's creativity, sophistication, and in-depth knowledge of international cuisine. This was further confirmed as we settled into the tasting session which quickly turned into an exchange of recommendations of hole-in-the-wall- restaurants and spice stores, and other food experiences. Damaris and Kevin also provided great coordination support. Kevin helped us keep on top of our wedding timeline, and was able to advise on setup/design, flow, and other day-of wedding logistics. He always responsed quickly to all the questions we threw at him, and wonderfully managed all the details (table displays, timeline, stationing of catering staff etc.) on the wedding day. By the end of the evening, all the leftover food, cake, and drinks were neatly packed and the venue was broken down and cleaned. My husband and I remember saying to each other, "how lucky are we to find a caterer that not only is able to design a menu featuring Chinese/Honduran fusion, but also match our overall vision for the wedding?" We highly recommend Fresh Company for those who are seeking to craft a truly unique menu for their special occasion.
After tasting several other caterers who serve the Catskills area, we were thrilled to find Fresh Company. They offered a menu that suited our tastes - fresh ingredients, lots of vegetables, elegant but simple presentation. They worked with us to get us exactly what we wanted - including a whole roasted pig! We appreciated their flexibility in us providing our own dessert. Kevin was amazing throughout - responsive, thoughtful, easy to work with. At the wedding, he was such a reassuring presence - everything came together wonderfully, his team was amazing and so kind. All of our guests loved the food! Overall, the experience and quality was excellent, especially considering their very reasonable price.
The most professional, friendly caterer I have worked with. Helped us have an amazing reception dinner the night before our wedding for 60ish people. Really enjoyed the seasonal and local options they provided for us as well.
Great bartender and staff, so friendly and fun to work with.
Highly recommended.
When my son told me at the end of June that he wanted to get married at my home at the beginning of September, I was nervous about whether we would be able to pull a wedding together in such a short period of time. But thanks to Fresh Company, we succeeded. They produced excellent food that was within my budget and their staff was both warm and professional. The event planner, Kimball, one of the owners of the company, adjusted to our timelines and assisted with the rentals and everything went smoothly. When we went for the tasting, the chef listened to what my son and his fiancée wanted and made adjustments. We even got a tour of the herb garden. Overall, if you want a worry free event, use Fresh Company. They will make your special day stay special.
Good food at a wedding can make or break it, and we are thrilled that we were able to work with Fresh Company for our big day! The selection of food was diverse, in season, and delicious. We decided to try something a little less traditional and go with family style, and boy am I happy that we did! The presentation of each plate was beautiful, and why choose when you can try everything?! I am still receiving compliments on how delicious everything was. In addition to a great menu, Fresh were awesome partners throughout the whole planning process. They will assist in rentals, table settings, day of timeline, and are great partners if you decide to bring in an outside Wedding Coordinator. The day of staff were friendly, professional, and I love them a bit more for agreeing to go with our theme and all wear bow ties. ☺ We highly recommend Fresh Company and will be using them again for future events.
Fresh Company was our caterer for our wedding and rehearsal dinner a few weeks ago. The food was so delicious and Felicia, Kimberly and Shelley were a joy to work with!
Fresh Company helped us with all parts of our ceremony from the beginning, going above and beyond the services for a catering company. My husband and I both love ethnic food and I am also a vegetarian. They created a unique menu for us based on our eclectic food preferences that incorporated Spanish food, Middle Eastern Food, Asian food and Mexican food, all of which we had said we loved. the meal had so much variety, but also fit together perfectly. We received so many complements on the food at both the rehearsal and wedding.
Fresh Company helped us with all aspects of our ceremony, working closely with us from shortly after we got engaged. They gave us suggestions of venues, florists, and wedding planners. They also helped coordinate our rentals, and gave us advice on decor and ambiance. We were in constant contact with them throughout the whole process. They were extremely professional, flexible, and responsive. Since we got married on a farm where we had to bring in all of the rentals, having such a comprehensive, experienced, and attentive catering company helped us immensely. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!
My husband and I knew we wanted the food to be a highlight of our wedding and we couldn't have picked better caterers. Fresh company walked us through every detail of the food, sat with us for a tasting where we reviewed each ingredient and adjusted it to our request. Not only that, but the staff is so incredibly knowledgeable and good at what they do that they were basically our wedding planners as well. Chelsea handled the rentals and since she knew our venue so well, she was able to give us input on where to place tables and how it would all work out best. She even gave the groomsmen suggestions for some fund activities before the wedding. The staff they brought for the day of the wedding (handled through a different company I think) was also wonderful and our family and friends commented on how friendly and attentive they were. We cannot say enough good things about this company. We also appreciate their values about good food and that everything is locally sourced.
I could not have been happier with choosing Fresh Company. Their food is amazing and they are really great to deal with. Food was probably the most important part of our wedding and we consider ourselves "foodies" and I really wanted to give our guests a memorable meal. We served everything family style at long tables, so the food needed to stand out. We tried one other caterer and when we did a tasting with Fresh Company, it blew them out of the water. Their food is amazing and delicious and really has that "farm to table" vibe we were going for. They even were able to deliver on an entree that is probably not very typical and they did it well. Their staff was also amazing and worked incredibly hard. I got a lot of compliments from our guests at how nice and great the service was. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a different foodie option for their wedding.
At our tasting and first meeting, my husband and I loved the food and thought the staff was extremely professional, helpful, and accommodating. However, all our subsequent interactions were extremely frustrating. The event manager did not accomplish tasks as promised and wouldn't return our phone calls. I am sure that they have the capacity to put on a great event with terrific food, but we were extremely frustrated with the lack of service and attention. We ultimately terminated our contract with them and found a new caterer 3 months before our wedding.
