Reviewed On 1/31/2022 by Madeline E
AMAZING!!! I would recommend Krave over and over again! They were perfect for our wedding of 140 people. My husband and I were really passionate about having great food at our wedding and Krave came along side us to make that happen.
After an...
initial quote, call with Kate (head of the catering), and making a rough draft of our menu, we went for our first tasting. All the food was excellent and Liz, our server, was very knowledgeable as well. We knew we wanted to make a few changes and were able to schedule a second tasting to make sure everything met expectations (of course it did!!). We were able to alter the meal details within reason (switched out steak and chicken fajitas for shrimp and veggies since it worked better with the other dishes we chose). They encouraged us to customize our bar services to what worked best for our guests. A few days before the wedding, Kate & I went over the menu and she made some final suggestions based on how all our food worked as a whole, not as individual dishes.
At the wedding itself, the Krave service team was incredible. I got multiple compliments on how friendly and service oriented the team was. Especially towards our parents and grandparents. At the end of the night, they sent us home with four bags of leftovers so my husband and I could enjoy the food afterwords without feeling pressured to eat during the wedding.
Kate also went above and beyond by setting up all of our decor for us and even bringing her own to fill in some blank spaces that I hadn’t thought about (like cocktail hour decor).
Truly could not have dreamed of anything more for a caterer. Five stars!!!

100/10 Krave Caterers were incredible to work with and the food was UNBELIEVABLE . We still have people talking about our late night snacks (TEC on a hard roll)! From the very beginning we knew we wanted to go with Krave after sampling their fo...
od at a Sussex County Fairgrounds Conservatory Wedding Show. Their staff (especially the owner Kate and sales lead Anna) have been so responsive to every question and idea we had and were so accommodating to our guest's dietary needs as well as any feedback we gave them from our TWO tastings. We did a station dinner which was perfect for our guests to get exactly what they wanted from our Asian Wok Station to the Southern BBQ or Prime Rib carving station. Krave decorated the food tables so romantically and it fit right into our overall theme. Kate did an extremely thorough job spending hours on phone calls with us, walk throughs on site, and creating an ever-changing site plan. The food was so delicious and had such a great variety, our guests were only sad that they got so full and couldn't fit anymore! The extended 90minute cocktail hour was perfect for us to finish pictures, have some alone time, and then join our guests before reception. They even delivered our favorites to the bridal suite for us to enjoy privately! Their bartenders were so friendly and kept the drinks flowing all night (they even ensured that my special bottles of Skinny Girl Marg were only available to me!). Krave was everything you could ask for in a caterer and more, they were truly the cornerstone of our entire event.

We originally planned to have a simple backyard wedding. Instead we had our wedding at The Conservatory catered by Krave and that was one of the best decisions we've ever made.
Krave was absolutely amazing in making our wedding so beautiful an...
d unforgettable. We're SO HAPPY we chose Krave.
In our first meeting with Kate at our venue, she gave us the layout and a detailed itinerary which was very helpful in planning this out. At that point, everything felt so real and throughout all the stress, she was the calm. She gave us good tips and advice. It was so easy to trust that she'd run everything smoothly. She went above and beyond at our wedding.
Anna was on top of handling the administrative side of things. She responded to our emails and calls right away.
Liz made our menu tasting such a nice and intimate experience. She's so friendly and it was so nice to see her again at our wedding.
We loved how they set up The Conservatory. Everything was beautiful!
We loved how thoughtful they were in setting aside a plate and drinks for us during cocktail hour knowing how crazy the after ceremony could be. We were really grateful that they packed us to-go bags in case we missed out on our dinner. The food was delicious as was the beautiful cake! They made our wedding so much more than we could have ever imagined! Thank you so much, Krave!

Krave Catering was the MVP of our wedding day! They went above and beyond, and it’s clear their team loves doing what they do! Throughout the planning process, Kate was polite, professional, and easy to communicate with. She has many years of e...
xperience in the industry - she offered us valuable advice and helped us understand what our wedding day would look like. Kate was well-informed and kept us updated about the constantly changing COVID-19 guidelines. We felt very reassured and safe having our wedding during the pandemic.
Early in the process, we scheduled a tasting and we appreciated how accommodating they were of the fact that both of our families wanted to join in on the experience. They were receptive to our feedback and by the second tasting they had perfected our wedding day meal. They even created an appetizer and dessert especially for us inspired by our favorite foods. We ended up going with the family style service and it was a hit with our guests!
Krave Catering really shined on our wedding day. Kate and her team laid out our centerpieces for us and brought their own decorations for the catering/gift tables to complement ours. We told her we were looking for a modern farmhouse type feel and she definitely delivered! During the actual celebration, her team took very good care of our guests and we particularly loved that Kate made sure to know who my parents, my husband’s parents, and my grandmother were to ensure they had anything they needed. Their team was flexible to unexpected delays to our timeline and they worked really well alongside our other vendors to make our big day a success! At the end of the night, her team tore down all our decorations for us, packed them away for next day pick up, and sent us home with some food so we could enjoy our night as a newly married couple! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team! Definitely will be using their catering services again in the future!

ed at the Sussex County Conservatory, which is a gorgeous DIY type of venue. The Conservatory is partnered with 3 caterers, of which you have to choose from. I contacted Krave first and immediately felt comforted and confident they would make our wedding special. With DIY weddings, there is tons to do and remember. It is so fun creating your vision, but there is an extra element of stress added. Kate assured me she would fill in any gaps that I missed and it would be perfect. It was PERFECT, and I wouldn’t change a thing!
Kate was so incredibly sweet and flexible, especially during the crazy times with pandemic regulations and uncertainty. She kept me inspired and hopeful and kept me on track throughout the whole experience. She is more than just a business owner.. she puts her heart and soul into your event.
I am so happy Krave has a restaurant that we can visit from time to time, because their food is amazing. It’ll be great to reminisce about our perfect day on date nights. Thank you Kate and all the Krave team members for everything!!!! You guys do phenomenal work :-)

Krave’s food was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately not all of our guests got to enjoy their dinner due to how long it took for them to serve. Dinner started at around 7:45 and it was still 9:30 and people had not been served yet.

e. From the first phone call more than a year prior to our wedding to the weeks following our wedding, the Krave team proved to be not only a caterer but an event coordinator, a logistics manager, a therapist, and a friend.
We worked with Kate and her husband Rich, Kerry, and Pamela for our event. Kate and Kerry specifically spent countless hours ahead of our event conference calling over every minute detail of the event. Details that are not catering related but that is what sets Krave apart from other vendors. They are true professionals who understand that the comprehensive success of your event means success for their business, and personal and professional reward.
If you want a wedding that is luxurious but a team who will understand and accommodate your budget, Krave is your caterer. If you want a small army of experienced event coordinators to ensure all of your decor is staged to perfection, including decor that they brought on their own, Krave is your caterer. If you want a point of contact to call on a Sunday morning when you are panicking about incoming storms, Krave is your caterer. If you want to serve your guests food that they will talk about for weeks following your event, Krave is your caterer. If you found an impossibly gorgeous wedding venue with impossible challenges and you need a caterer to create a wedding out of thin air, Krave is your caterer. If you want your caterer to be so amazing that your father dedicates a portion of his wedding speech to thank them, then Krave is your caterer.
Trust me, you want Krave Caterers on your team and you will not regret it.
