hing to our specific needs. She was very responsive when we had questions and kept us up to date on delivery days as well. The staff that delivered and set up everything were amazing. They had the tables and food all set up in less than an hour and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We received so many compliments on the food - everything was delicious! We were also able to rent the tables and chairs from them - having a one stop shop made the planning process even easier. We can’t thank them enough for making this process so smooth and everyone was such a joy to work with. Highly recommend to use Jacques for your next event! You will not be disappointed.

iliated with our amazing venue, The Barn at Laird (Colts Neck, NJ). Lisa made what seemed like an overwhelming experience, seamless and stressless. Everyone is raving about the how great the food was from cocktail hour to reception. Highly recommend attending one of Jacques Caterings tasting events- my husband is still raving about the sweet chili chicken thighs. Lastly, Lisa and her team handled everything to make our venue- a blank canvas inside, the wedding of my dreams from ordering of furniture, the linens and perfect colors to match my fall wedding palette, placement within the venue, setup, execution, decor and EVERY detail was made. The staff is very accommodating- Rosie made sure we ate, drank and had everything and anything we needed. The WHOLE staff was amazing. We highly recommend Jacques Catering with The Barn at Laird.

ng with Maria made it so easy to choose a menu that pleased everyone. My son wanted something other than the "usual" wedding fare, and he got it. Maria was right there to answer questions, make helpful suggestions, and respond to changes. Food delivery was on time and instructions for the wait staff were clear and simple. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, I knew Maria would handle the food part of the planning beautifully. Great food, no hassle, I'll use Jaques every time!

My daughter booked this venue for her wedding almost a year in advance. I live in upstate New York, so did not have any contact with the venue before the wedding rehearsal except ...
for email and some phone conversations. My daughter and son in law picked the menu, did all the planning .
BUT what I can say is once we arrived on site for the rehearsal the staff was amazing. I was not sure what to expect but everyone was so knowledgeable and knew what was needed before we needed it. They anticipated all our needs and were there to help. The service was spot on and top notch! the food was amazing! they set up , cleaned up, did everything contracted and went above and beyond.
I can not say, nor could the guests how wonderful the whole event was and that was due to the expertise of the venue.
Thank you Jacques , you helped make the day for my daughter and son in law wonderful.

Lisa the Sales Coordinator went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Lisa offered us a bunch of wedding signs that we could use for our wedding that day, so this also helped us save some money. Lisa was always there to answer any phone call or text I had. The staff did an amazing job from start to finish!! Rosa our Maitre D was wonderful the whole night and my husband and I always had a drink in our hands. CHEERS!

The food was excellent and we were able to use a mix of cuisines to cater to our multi cultural wedding! The tent setup was wonderful and spacious and allowed our wedding guests to mingle without constraint. Lisa and her team also helped with the setup of the ceremony chairs and arbor and brought our vision to life perfectly. We would absolutely recommend Lisa and Jacques. An extremely worthwhile investment that resulted in the best memories!

My husband and I were blown away at how amazing Lisa and Jacques Catering made our wedding day! Our wedding venue was a complete blank space and requires you to bring in everything...
yourself. I am so happy that we called Jacques and spoke with Lisa who was so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable on how to put together a wedding at Sandy Hook Chapel. Jacques did all of our catering and rentals, making it so easy to communicate with just one vendor instead of several different ones. Lisa was attentive to our vision of what the day would look like and made sure all of the necessary rentals were there. Leading up to the big day, Lisa stayed in communication with us and our planner. She definitely made us feel at ease and excited throughout the planning process!
Since our venue doesn’t have a kitchen, they were able to set up a cook’s tent on site and the food was so delicious. We’ve had so many guests compliment the food on the day of and still to this day! After the ceremony, Lisa kindly set up a plate of hors d’oeuvres from cocktail hour in our bridal suite so we could enjoy some time alone which was so needed. Throughout the day everyone from Jacques made sure my husband and I had food and something to drink. Everyone with Jacques was professional and so kind.
We truly had the most perfect wedding and we are so grateful that Lisa and Jacques Catering were able to make our wedding even better than we could’ve ever imagined.

Lisa is a very dedicated and extremely good at what she does. She treats you as if you were part of her own family and helps you make your dreams come true.
We used Jaques catering for all of our rentals and catering needs as well (tents chairs linens flatware chinaware lights) when I say soup to nuts I mean soup to nuts!!
I had an off site wedding and it was perfect! My wedding was flawless.. everything went as planned and I have Lisa and the staff at Jaques to thank for that!!

She was able to handle any problem and solve them without worrying the bride or groom. She even went to the parents tables several time to check on them and bring them whatever they requested!! Jacques was so kind to us that they even wrapped up all of our extra food to bring home. We will be using Jacques in the future for catering!

We live in Hawaii and had to send family members to the tasting for us ahead of time, so we did not get to taste the food ourselves until the day of the wedding and wow it was even better than we had expected! Lisa, the catering director, was very responsive and knowledgable and worked very hard to make everything work out perfectly. :) Our families had some specific requests and she made everything flow seamlessly. Many people told us after the wedding how delicious the food was, how attentive and courteous the staff were and how pleased they were with both the buffet and the bar set up. Our maitre-d, Mary, was on-top of everything and made sure that we had plates of food for the cocktail hour, the dinner and dessert and got to taste everything! She was great at anticipating our needs and checked in with us through out the day just the perfect amount. Jacques' provided gluten-free and vegetarian options as well as traditional options and everything was so delicious that every guest, with every type of diet was able to have plenty of food to eat. What a wonderful experience! Thank you!

When Mary, the maitre'd , and her staff arrived, it was more of this flawless help. They were helpful, kind, so incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. They helped troubleshoot some logistics and didn't mind at all. And the food! The food was so great - I ate it and loved it. I also heard many compliments from the guests. I would love to work with Jacques again and will definitely be recommending them. Thank you Lisa, Jay, Mary and all of your staff in making my job easier. Besides that, the couple (and parents of the bride who paid for the event) LOVED you!

WOW!!! From the moment we sat down with the incredible team at Jacques, we knew we were in GREAT hands. Everyone at Jacques is top notch and will treat you like family. Anthony ...
and Lisa helped make my wedding dreams come true.
From my first phone call with Lisa, I knew every detail of the wedding would be executed perfectly. Lisa is incredibly KIND, well organized, attentive to details, and professional and knows how to pull off an unforgettable night filled with wonderful memories. My family and I are so grateful to Lisa and her ability to coordinate a MILLION things at once, perfectly. Thanks to Lisa and her amazing team, the night ran seamlessly. The food was SUPERB and the service was beyond words. Everyone and everything was amazing. I am so thankful to Lisa and everyone at Jacques for bringing forth incredible energy and effort to make our wedding night perfect.
Not to mention, our wedding was not at a traditional venue (we had it at Sandy Hook) and EVERYTHING had to be brought in. Lisa’s experience and expertise is above all - she was able to anticipate issues BEFORE they arise and did not miss a thing. Lisa collaborated with my wedding planner so effortlessly and put countless hours of extra work into making sure the night was beautiful, and it was!
Jacques went out of the way to personalize our wedding night for us - even incorporating some food from my husband’s culture which was AMAZING! We cannot thank Anthony, Lisa, and all the other amazing team members at Jacques for pulling off a truly magical night for us. I cannot recommend Jacques enough!!!!!

We want to extend a huge thank you to Cathy and the Jacques Catering team for catering our 10/27/18 wedding! Cathy was an incredible resource to us throughout the entire planning p...
rocess. She answered every question we asked and gave helpful suggestions and feedback. We wanted a buffet to appeal to our guests’ many tastes, and we received rave reviews on the options we chose — chicken franceise, paella, eggplant parmesan, and vegetable quiche. We were also pleasantly surprised when a server presented us with a plate of hors d’oeuvres for just the two of us. Everyone on the serving staff was professional and pleasant, and kept things running smoothly from beginning to end. Our wedding dinner was everything we hoped for and more! — Zack & Danielle Schagrin

guided us through every step along the way. She answered every question or concern I had quickly and returned calls to me on a Sunday. Jacques' staff is top notch. They coordinated the cake with Normandy Bakery and the cake was absolutely beautiful. It was moist and delicious. The maître D (Mary) was on top of every detail. She made sure that my daughter and her new husband was fed and had a drink in their hands. She also made sure that I was taken care of as well. Mary and her whole staff made sure that the ceremony, right down to the appetizers and the candy station, was set up and ran smoothly. The whole staff was excellent. I would definitely recommend and use Jacques for any occasions that I have in the future. Thank you very much to all of you.

ive, and professional. Also, just a really warm person. As for the food, we went with their bbq and it was excellent. We had several guests who are chefs at our wedding and they were raving about it. Our wedding day went so well thanks to them. The maitre d was on top of schedule, making sure everything was great and the staff followed suit. One of them even helped with my bustle because we couldn't figure it out lol! We had our wedding at Bayonet Farm which is a very large venue and they knew the whole place very well. I cannot recommend them enough.

t I was against having an outdoor event but Lisa placed me at ease - it was a big investment and I wanted Tina to have her dream wedding. Lisa took over and informed us of all the details necessary.
