Hudson Valley Trendsetters

As a fellow caterer I know how hard it is to make an event great and look easy. The staff is extremely professional and skilled. The chefs are top notch and produce good looking tasty food. You couldn't ask for a better company to do your event.

I cannot say enough about Hudson Valley Trendsetters! Danielle and her team are phenomenal in every way! Danielle is a logistical queen when it comes to planning and will work endlessly to make everything perfect for the couple. Her staff are such an incredible group of adults who make sure each and every guest is more than well taken care of...all my guests were commenting about what an amazing staff she has. They made sure not detail was missed and we felt the love through the entire planning process. Love, love Hudson Valley Trendsetters! You’ll be soooo happy you booked her!

Danielle's professionalism and attention to detail made our wedding everything we hoped for. As you all know, getting married is very stressful and Danielle was very understanding and patient through the whole process. Danielle made our dreams come true and we highly recommend Danielle to make your dreams come true!!!

Danielle and her team at trendsetters staffed our 10.12.19 wedding for Rebecca and Keith. Danielle hand picks all of her staff specifically for the needs of each event. All staff brought their A game and professionalism to the day. Our bride and groom along with the guests were never in need of anything. You know you have a great staff when you don't even have to ask.. Thank you for making this day as easy as its gets with staffing, Frank & Kerri

Danielle is a wonderful planner who has great attention to detail, gives great advice and ideas that made my day perfect in every way! Danielle's staff is also top notch. They were very detailed oriented and attentive to all of our needs. I highly recommend this company if you are getting married!

Amazing, and above and beyond all my expectations. Danielle was everything I needed in an event planner. She coordinated everything and took so much off my plate. I didn’t know how much I needed her for this until I didn’t have a thing to worry about. I can’t explain how incredible she made the day!! If you want to breath and enjoy the day she’s the answer to all your questions.

Danielle provided the staffing for our special all-day event. It was a logistically complex day, and she and her crew came through like champions. Each and every member of the staff was diligent, gracious, and super attentive to detail. We simply couldn't have been happier!

Danielle’s professionalism reflects onto her whole team as well as her colleagues. Truly a pleasure to work with!

They were great to work with. Always on time and there to help with whatever we needed them to. Made our special day easy for us to enjoy and even the week leading into it. We felt that we had nothing to worry about. Thank you for helping to make our day even better than we had hoped for!!!

Not sure how we would have done it all without Hudson Valley Trendsetters. Danielle was beyond amazing and went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. I couldn’t recommend them enough and would give more than 5 stars if I could.

THE BEST!!!! My Husband Tim and I were so lucky to have been told about Hudson Valley Trendsetters. Danielle made every vision of ours come true. She and her staff were on point through everything. She helped guide us on every detail. Working with outstanding chiefs and on point rentals. Our day was full of excitement from an outdoor ceremony (Danielle decorated for), to a beautiful mountain top reception closing with a firework show. Guests left that evening saying it was the best wedding they've been to. We could not have pulled this day off without Danielle and her staff. If you're looking for help planning your event, call danielle!!!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! From start to finish, so lucky that we stumbled upon Hudson Vallery on The Knot. Exceeded our expectations. We are from out of state, and they took on a lot of our stress, easing up our day big time. Forever grateful A fantastic job. There were certainly a handful of unexpected challenges that arose and the team handled them flawlessly. Greatly appreciate all of your help and assistance with our big day. Thank you!

We loved working with Danielle. She is super easy going, and made us feel at ease throughout. Extremely flexible and a great team player. Would highly recommend her. Thank you Danielle for bringing our vision to life and making our wedding so perfect. Assal&Dave

Oh my goodness! HV Trendsetters are absolutely incredible in every way! They paid attention to details I never would have thought of and created a seamless experience for us and our guests. It was so smooth and everything was so gorgeous. Their staff blew us all away with incredible service. So professional. Loved every second dealing them. Danielle and her crew should plan everyone’s wedding! And her decor skills are amazing. She created exactly what our dream wedding vision was. Love them. 5 stars all the way.

My husband Brian and I are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Danielle and Hudson Valley Trendsetters. Daniellle and her team were extremely professional and provided exceptional customer service. They made sure every guest was well cared for. I have already recommended Hudson Valley Trendsetters to my friends.

Danielle is amazing. I had no idea how much planning went into a wedding! With every new decision, she was there with advice and a solution from vendors to flowers to table settings to staff. My caterer wanted to bring in waiters and bartenders from New York City which was absolutely not in my budget. Danielle used her staff and saved me a fortune! The staff were cheerful, professional, and so attentive to our guests. The day before the wedding, I called Danielle in a panic. I guess I did what a lot of brides do and thought I could do a lot of the work myself. When I finally realized I wasn’t going to be able to get everything done, Danielle and her staff jumped in putting together hotel bags and assembling favors. Danielle was there with anything and everything that I needed to make my wedding day the perfect day. I cannot ​thank Danielle and Hudson Valley Trendsetters enough.

We adore working with the entire Trendsetters crew! From the communication in the beginning, all the way to the day of, Danielle and her team were easy to talk to, a pleasure to work with, so kind, and extremely professional. The food is of top notch quality and they had vegetarian and gluten free options as well. Quality food and service are two of the most important aspects hosts look for. We're pleased to have Hudson Valley Trendsetters as one of our preferred caterers and know that our clients are in the best hands possible when choosing them for their event.

I was totally amazed at how awesome Danielle and her staff at Hudson Valley Trendsetters were at making my day unforgettable! I never needed to worry about a thing! They had everything covered from the beginning to the end! Thank you again , you guys Rock!!

Absolutely the BEST! Event planning, staffing...incredible attention to logistical details and super thoughtful follow through of every single thing you can think of! Love, love, love HV Trendsetters! My go-to for EVERY event! Bravissima!

Danielle and her staff were amazing! Stress free day for all involved and extremely professional. Highly recommended and well worth it!

I recently worked with Danielle on a Hudson Valley wedding and she was terrific! Danielle was very organized and responsive leading up to the event and on the wedding day the set-up and timeline went exactly as planned. Danielle was a pleasure to work with and I hope to collaborate with her on future events.

Danielle & her team at HV Trendsetters were on point and professional beyond expectation! Often, a wedding lacks real attention to timelines and small mishaps occur; Danielle kept the show running smoothly and worked with all vendors accordingly! The wedding was perfect and everything went off without a hitch!

Who can you turn to when you want turn-key event planning and catering excellence for an intimate group of, say, 300 family and friends? Let me suggest Danielle Paulding at Hudson Valley Trendsetters!! Last summer we experienced the most amazing wedding we’ve ever been a part of in our not-so-short lives – planned, executed and catered to perfection by Hudson Valley Trendsetters …and I do mean perfection. This was no mean feat! The site itself surely was one of the most challenging we could imagine: a many-acre piece of paradise here in the Hudson Valley with no amenities whatsoever! No power, no water, no restrooms, no buildings – just a beautiful grove of mature trees adjoining a large field a half-mile down a winding old farm road. The transformation would prove astounding – everything from quiet commercial power generation to clubhouse-style air-conditioned restroom buildings with full amenities. Picture this: that access road became a way to set the mood -- ‘planted’ with wedding-themed ‘slogans’ for all to enjoy as we slowly motored to a well-managed parking area -- chauffeured golf carts waiting for those in need of assistance to proceed to the reception area. Numerous elegantly-draped meet-and-greet cocktail tables decorated the mature forest understory of the reception area, anchored by a large well-staffed bar with myriad libations, plus a huge self-serve groaning-table of Italian specialties including home-made cured sausage, cheeses and many truly delectable morsels. As if that weren’t enough there were also several staff continually serving freshly baked traditional appetizers. And that’s just while everyone was gathering and enjoying taking pictures and posing in the clever ‘photo-frames’ placed so family and friends could ham-it-up and snap some fun memorable pics before the main event. In due course we ambled to the main tent where we picked-up our table card and were escorted to a beautifully adorned round table. The main tent was truly extraordinary – looked to be about 50’ x 75’ with 25-30’ tall spires – tables left and right with music and wood dance floor centrally located. A dozen commercial air movers strategically positioned around the perimeter made for a very comfortable and pleasant experience even on this otherwise sultry summer afternoon as we enjoyed the music, the merriment and everyone’s company -- and some wonderful on-site chef-roasted meats to complement the yummy traditional Italian food and drink at this paramount wedding made extra special by Danielle and her extraordinary team. Actually my wife and I were so impressed with the whole affair -- thoughtful planning, extensive preparations and authentic home-made foods from amazing appetizers to delectable deserts and coffees -- that we had to inquire who did all this -- and how? That was when we met Danielle Paulding, the engaging perfectionist-dynamo behind Hudson Valley Trendsetters. She runs the enterprise and oversaw the event – making sure everything went flawlessly, as planned and just as it should. We were simply stunned by the whole operation – the thoughtfulness, professionalism and helpfulness of the staff, and how such a complex feat was so well-planned and executed without a hitch – a family’s dream event transformed into a memorable reality by Hudson Valley Trendsetters. We whole-heartedly recommend Hudson Valley Trendsetters for any event – they do a truly superb job. Kudos, Danielle!

I can’t say enough about the quality, expertise, and attention to detail that Danielle of Hudson Valley trendsetters gave to me during the entire planning process and execution of my incredible event. Her staff was impeccable, curtious , and exceeded all of my expectations. The entire experience was amazing, and the ease of mind I had, knowing that her and her staff were taking care of every single detail was incredible. They handled everything and I could just enjoy my event. I am forever indebted to Hudson Valley trendsetters for making my dream a reality. Truly an amazing team!! I can’t thank them enough.

Trendsetters is truly one of the Hudson Valleys premiere Caterers. Danielle has a unique touch for any and every event. Weddings, birthdays, themed events, you name it Trendsetters has done it! I have had the privilege to attend several of their events and all of which surpassed even the highest expectations. Trendsetters is 5 stars from start to finish!

I would highly recommend Hudson Vally Trend Setters. Danielle and her Staff exceeded my expectations. Every detail of my event was planned out and executed to perfection. If there were more then five stars I would give them more. Contact Hudson Valley Trend Setters for your next event. You will not be disappointed.

I loved everything about this wedding. The ceremony itself was perfection. It was so filled with love! The welcoming and warm display as I approached the reception was only the beginning of an amazing and fun night. The wait staff.....signature drinks and appetizers were delightful. The decorations set up a cozy and relaxing environment. Being outside under that enormous tent with those giant fans..... beautiful tables..... great music and delicious food made for a magical night. I have to mention the pie bar, which I'm still talking about, and what a treat that was! Also, by far, the bathrooms were the fanciest and classiest "porta-potties" I've ever seen! There was so much attention given to making the guests feel welcome and loved. As we left that evening we were handed fresh pop corn! We all left with a full heart ❤️ and a full belly! I loved writing this review and reliving that beautiful day!

Danielle’s attention to detail is impeccable!!! She attentive and on point every step of the planning process through my wedding day.

Danielle is amazing at what she does. Trendsetters it the company that can do it all. Her planning is impeccable. I have personally had the privilege of going to several of her events from birthday parties, a Cooperate event, and a wedding. It didn't matter what the event was, you could tell that she thought of it all. Danielle really pays attention to detail. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any event.

Danielle and her staff are beyond amazing. I am all about detail and presentation. Hudson Valley Trendsetters fully executed a fairy tale wedding for my son and 'daughter'-in-law. The entire day was a dream and I didn't have to worry because I knew that Danielle had everything under control. The food during cocktail hour and dinner was not only picture-perfect, but impeccable and flawless, too. Danielle's staff was attentive, capable, pleasant, and experienced. Furthermore, I must tell you that this was an outside tented wedding with more than 300 guests. The day was magical and will forever hold a special place in my heart. If you are looking for that special planner that will fulfill your every wedding or event need then you've come to the right place.
