Night Kitchen Catering

the tasting, and even went out of his way to do research on dishes he wasn't very familiar with. His own menu is amazing as well! We had a healthy mix of his own recipes and ours for the wedding. Everyone had nothing but complements for the food! Angela, the day of coordinator, is a literal angel. She is so organized and patient despite having to assist with multiple weddings and clients. She will think of every little detail and ensure your special day runs smoothly and stress free. You could not ask for a better team.

in July 2021. There aren't enough positive adjectives in the English language to describe how happy we were with NK's service. Our wedding guests are still going out of their way to tell us how amazing the food was. We never want to plan another wedding, but we would like to be guests at as many future NK events as possible! One specific thing our guests commented on was that they felt like the passed apps were delicious and plentiful, having experienced average snacks that are hard to come by at other events. In addition to amazing food, the event was perfectly executed. Our only regret is not eating more ourselves at the wedding! We REALLY hope the NK team keeps up the Chefs Table tasting menus in event off season, because we will be first in line!

very personalized elements we wanted for our wedding and Night Kitchen was able to deliver above and beyond. We wanted to serve Korean-inspired food like Atoboy, Danji, etc. However, many of these places do not cater outside of their own restaurant. We were able to work with Chef Aaron and his team to develop a menu that was elegant and so authentic. Everyone at the wedding was blown away by the food. My Korean aunt in her 70s could not believe this food was not from a Korean chef. We also wanted to deliver part of the food to a local homeless shelter for young mothers a few blocks away from the venue. Chef Aaron and his team was able to cook and set aside food to be delivered to the shelter prior to the wedding on top of prepping for multi-course dinner with at least 12 dishes for over 80 people. We were a little concerned this Michelin star Korean-fusion fine dining experience we wanted would lost with the volume of food that was cooked at once, but we were absolutely blown away with out nuanced and delicious everything was. You can bring any type of cuisine and experience you want to Night Kitchen and they will deliver! Day of Planner - We highly, highly suggest hiring Night Kitchen's day of planner, Angela when you book their catering services. Angela's planning template is what dreams are made of for Type A planners. She thinks of everything to the very last detail and went above and beyond with everything behind the scenes to make sure we could enjoy our day to the fullest. We also had some special events like a surprise puppy party for our guests, ice cream truck for dessert, and donating our flowers the next morning, and they were able to help us execute these on top of regular wedding stuff.

THANK GOODNESS for such a fun, fun, FUN night before it all changed. We are so thankful for Angela, Chef Aaron and all Night Kitchen did for us to help us make magic happen. It was seriously the BEST WEDDING EVER! We had a lot of quirks and surprises planned during our night and they helped us make all of it happen in the best way. The staff was friendly, approachable and funny. Never in the way but always there when needed. The Food? You will never have better food at a wedding. Need gluten free? Vegan? Vegetarian? Nothing is impossible for Chef Aaron. And can we talk about Angela, the day of coordinator? There are not enough words to describe her patience, humor and organization. She will help you get it all done and keep things on schedule like the pro she is. Trust me - with Night Kitchen - you are in the best of hands!

I were delighted with food and service. Chef Arron and his team really listened to what we like and was honest with what his team could due during Covid. They made getting married very easy and everyone loved the food!

are the Gochujang Fried Chicken, Lobster Rolls, and Lemongrass Beef. And then the main courses! All so very delicious, and catered to exactly what we were going for with the Indian-American theme of our wedding. It was all so, so much better than usual wedding fare, and all our guests agreed. Perhaps the greatest of all was Angela herself, as our day-of coordinator. She went above and beyond WELL in advance of the wedding, to make sure that all our vendors were in the loop on everything, and that we felt completely comfortable with the pace of our day as it approached. If anything went wrong she was ALWAYS immediately ready with just the right solution to alleviate our concerns. Hire these folks for your event ASAP!

our little asks. Here we are 9 months later and friends and family are still talking about the food.

moothly. We threw a lot of "favorite" foods at Chef Aaron and he somehow blended everything together into a cohesive, creative, menu that reflected both of us. Our menu included takes on some of our favorite meals together (like mapo tofu and pav bhaji) some individual favorites (like serving mashed potatoes with the salad course) and some of Chef Aaron's best dishes. Night Kitchen Catering exceeded my wildest expectations!! I don't plan on getting married again, but I do hope to find MANY reasons to work with Night Kitchen Catering again. Thank you for making our special day so special!

into their work. Angela (day of coordinator) was amazing. Nicole and I DIY'd many aspects of our wedding, and Angela spent hours on the phone with us coaching us through everything we needed to get done, helping us develop check-lists to stay organized and gave us invaluable guidance on everything from how much alcohol we needed to buy to how best decorate tables. While DIY'ing was at times stressful, Nicole and I look back on the planning process fondly, and that would not have been possible without Angela's help. Aaron (chef) was incredibly fun and easy to work with. Whether it was preparing 41 different bites for our tasting, scheduling an 11am sunday morning follow-up steak tasting when we wanted to change a menu item, or surprising us with blood orange in one of our salads day of, its clear that Aaron just loves to cook and gets as much joy from cooking good food as his clients get eating it. We can't recommend working with Knight Kitchen enough. Their love for their work is infectious and truly made our wedding an incredibly fun party!

h a true skilled sophistication to back it up. Not only did Night Kitchen make us feel completely comfortable with the (still raved about) dining experience, but also with the organization of the whole 'run of show'. Angela, the coordinator, was an absolute Rock Star. She helped dealing with vendors, timing, setup and breakdown. Our minds were at ease! We truly cannot recommend this passionate and professional team enough!

tarian wedding menu, every detail of which was thoughtful, unique, and exceptional. Chef Aaron took the time to, based on our preferences, create a menu that was not "lacking" meat but, quite on the contrary, wowed our guests. We received so many compliments and inquiries on who the catering firm was! The food was served family style and was beautifully plated. Everything was prepared freshly on site. Night Kitchen was even able to work with the limitations of our venue (which didn't have a full kitchen). The staff was exceptionally friendly and professional during the event, and every single team member was a joy to work with. Night Kitchen went above and beyond wherever possible - they served the drinks and late night snacks we brought in ourselves, advised us on the amount of alcohol to buy, helped to set up and take down some of the decor, and communicated with the venue on their own initiative to make sure everything went smoothly. Before the event, Angela and Evgenia were extremely accommodating, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Night Kitchen did all of this at a very reasonable price compared to other firms in the city, and they respected our budget throughout the process. I cannot express how highly I recommend working with Night Kitchen Catering - you will not regret your choice! THANK YOU to the entire team!

Kitchen was the right choice. When we first did research on wedding catering, we found Night Kitchen and found that all of the reviews were phenomenal - so we quickly booked a tasting, where we got to taste a variety of appetizers, salads, and entrees. Just about everything was delicious enough that we had no doubt immediately after that we would be going with Night Kitchen. Chef Aaron, who runs Night Kitchen, was great. He was extremely nice and really cared about what our vision for our food. But perhaps the absolute BEST part of going with Night Kitchen is their day-of-coordinator, Angela. Angela is the most organized, friendly, and open person you will ever meet. She guided us throughout the entirety of the wedding process and made sure our special day went perfectly. She was on top of every little detail that came up in the back and forth of the planning process and was always flexible and understanding when we had any questions or last-minute changes. She reached out to vendors, squared away so many day-of-logistics, and even met with us independently to make sure our planning was going smoothly. Finally - the actual day of was great! Many of our guests commented on how great the food was, and we both agreed. We gave our guests a number of passed appetizers followed by a plated meal, with a salad course and a choice of chicken, fish, or steak for the main course. We only had one tiny hiccup—several of our guests said that they did not receive the right dish (the groom included). There may have been some miscommunication based on what was written down on what software, but in the end, it truly didn't matter. Even if a guest got the wrong thing, they still loved what they got! Overall - I would HIGHLY recommend Night Kitchen to anyone looking to cater their wedding, or really, anything else. Their food and service is high-class restaurant quality, and their day-of-coordinator is someone who you will be forever grateful to.

d out for a quote. Evgenia responded promptly and provided some helpful general information and pricing guidelines, and offered to set up a time to discuss further. Initially, the prices she provided were a bit high for our budget and I thought we would have to continue our search for a caterer. I responded to Evgenia, telling her about our budget constraints. To my surprise, she responded back and said that they would work on a catering proposal that would meet our budget. Over the next several weeks, I communicated back and forth with Evgenia, and she was extremely patient as I explained our budget concerns and what we wanted for our wedding. I kept asking for more time to think, and she never rushed me. Ultimately, my husband and I decided to go with Night Kitchen, and it was the best decision we made! After signing the contract, Angela reached out to me to begin the planning process. She raised all the right questions and thought of details that never even crossed my mind. It was clear that she was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. We set up a time for her and Chef Aaron to do a walk-through of our venue. Even though the venue was not typical (it was a church), they were not phased at all and assured us that they would be able to work with the space just fine. Between the walk-through and the wedding date, Angela continued to be in touch, and I never had to stress about a thing. I could trust that she had everything under control. I spoke with Chef Aaron over the phone about the menu, and he had lots of great options to offer. Our menu ended up being very versatile, but somehow also completely gluten-free, which several of my guests appreciated. We also had plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. Food was a priority for me, so it was such a pleasure to work with people who know and love food as much as I do. On the day of the wedding, everything was executed flawlessly. The servers were kind, helpful, and efficient. The food was AMAZING. All my guests were raving about the food and wanted to know the name of our caterer! Everyone said that the food was way better than what they get at traditional wedding venues. Our food was served family style, but the tables weren't crowded or cluttered at all, and everyone had more than enough to eat. The team also packed a few boxes for my husband and I to take home, which we were so grateful for! I could go on and on about our wonderful experience working with Night Kitchen. They were amazing to work with and were such a key part of making our wedding day as special as it was. Choose Night Kitchen, you won't regret it!!

truly reflected our love of different types of food. The execution was flawless and the food was truly outstanding.

from the most outrageous cheese plate we've ever beheld to scrumptious vegetarian appetizers and fabulous entrees! We heard from many of our guests it was the best wedding food they'd ever experienced. Highly recommend this enthusiastic team!

y day-of-coordinator and I couldn't have planned the day without her.

old us it was the best food they've ever had (not just at a wedding!) - and these are foodie New Yorkers! We knew after our tasting, over a year ago, that we had to work with Night Kitchen. Aaron helped us customize our menu so that it felt like "us" but was still very cool and inventive. He was super flexible if we needed to alter an appetizer or add a flavor to a dish. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was phenomenal. I actually find myself missing Angela, our day of coordinator. She was incredible. Super easy to chat with, so organized and helped me stay sane throughout the wedding planning process. It's worth every penny - they've got something very special going.

, they work with the flawless execution of a well-oiled machine. Chef Aaron is a master of all cuisines and everything tasty (and honestly, on top of that really just the nicest guy). I love asian food so our menu had a bit of asian fusion mixed in, and he nailed it. Guests raved about the appetizers and entrees (Chef Aaron's duck confit was life-changing for more than a couple guests, one even asked later if it was from a restaurant because he had to have more of that duck). I literally spent the week after our wedding brainstorming what other events I could plan/hire NK for because I needed to have their food again, it was SO. SO. Good. Guests were astounded at the attentiveness, consideration, and friendliness of the servers, remarking that that's something they never see in catering hall staffs. We had a bubble tea bar setup at our reception, something that NK's bartender had never worked with prior, but she learned on the fly and was an absolute PRO. I cannot recommend NK enough, they are a literal catering-dream-come-true. If you're on the fence between another caterer and these guys, HIRE THESE GUYS!!

e food is elegant and flavorful with ease. It's food everyone wants to eat more of, cooked to perfection with totally understandable ingredients that your guests will love. Aaron, the chef, knows good food. We did the summer grill menu: the summer ratatouille was full of flavor, the salmon SO GOOD, and the steak with chimmichurri cooked to perfection. The passed hors d'oeuvre were out of this world tasty. Aaron and the entire Night Kitchen staff are super friendly, professional, serious, and hospitable. We've heard from over a dozen people that it was the best food and drink they've ever had at a wedding. We actually received a hand written card from a guest about the food. It was a love story between our guests and Night Kitchen. My mother can't stop talking about how friendly the servers were. When Aaron came to say goodnight, he was swarmed by mothers, friends, bride, and groom. Then there is Angela, who works for Night Kitchen and will work as your day of coordinator. She is beyond the beyond helpful. Angela is super easy going, but thinks of everything, and makes critical calls that will make your event run smoothly, and put you at ease to enjoy yourself. She reads the room and offers her advice. Take it. Always take it. Night Kitchen has great relationships with other vendors in the industry as well, so they are a great resource for you. They worked with the rental company, making sure we had everything we could possibly need down to the teaspoon. After the wedding, they broke down the rentals and organized everything in a timely and orderly fashion. The next day you couldn't tell we had a huge party, not a napkin or orange peel in site. All of our personal things were gathered and set to the side, well taken care of.

t Kitchen as caterers! So after all that, we had expected the food to be fantastic- watching Chef Aaron's virtuosity during our tasting and hearing his excitement when we brainstormed the menu based on restaurants and dishes we loved showed us that. But what we could not have anticipated was the loveliness of his entire team- Angela was the perfect coordinator, super responsive, and with spot on advice for everything from rentals to the drinks we ordered. And the waiters and bartenders the day of were so kind and caretaking- when can you say that the waiters were genuinely happy for the couple and made connections with all the guests? Everyone was talking about how nice they were and how delicious and unique the food was. On top of all that, we were sent home with tons of amazing leftovers that we've continued to enjoy. We can't recommend them more strongly- if only we could think of more reasons to hire them and eat that food again.

uffed) we knew that there was no need to attend any other tastings! We opted for a selection of passed hors d'oeuvres and a family-style meal for our wedding reception, with several seasonal salads, beef and chicken entrees, and a host of hearty vegetarian dishes, and our wedding guests are still raving about the food at our wedding a month after the event. (One guest exclaimed during dinner: "I am in heaven right now!") We had our hearts set on a non-traditional olive oil and citrus naked wedding cake, and when we had trouble finding a cake shop that would make one for us, Aaron stepped up to the challenge and made a three-tiered version that was as beautiful to look at as it was delicious! And Angela is the most organized and professional day-of coordinator. She put me at ease on our wedding day, as I knew she had absolutely everything covered. I am a very organized person myself, but I can honestly say that we could not have pulled off this event without Angela's help with the rental orders, timeline, and a million other small details that came up before and during the wedding. We highly recommend Aaron, Angela, and the rest of the Night Kitchen team!

As our coordinator, Angela made each step easy and painless. She helped us plan and took care of things we didn't even know we had to take care of. Every member of the Night Kitchen staff was professional and extremely friendly. If you're smart, you'll book them. Much thanks to Angela, Aaron and the staff for such an amazing night.

rst conversations with each of them, I knew they loved the work that they do and they were going to be great to work with. Throughout the planning process, both Angela and Aaron provided amazing ideas and suggestions that were based on our vision of the day and they were incredibly helpful in providing the professional expertise on the flow of the day. They showed flexibility and welcomed our ideas and really helped us think through the details so the day can go off without a hitch. The food and presentation the day of was even better than we could have hoped! Our tasting with Aaron was wonderful so we knew that the menu was going to be tasty but we were blown away at how delicious everything turned out for our 100+ guests. We weren't sure how the family style service was going to go but we trusted the Night Kitchen team and it was wonderful to see everyone enjoying their foods. We are receiving compliments about the food and service months after our wedding, and I always give credit to Aaron and Angela for that! Angela, who we hired for our day of coordination was incredibly supportive and organized, and walked us through the schedule multiple times to make sure all the details were covered. My wedding party and my families enjoyed working with her the day of and I knew that I wouldn't have to worry about any details because Angela had it covered. I highly recommend the Night Kitchen team for any event and you will be in great hands!

it was the best wedding food they had ever had! Furthermore, the team delivered exactly the type of event we hoped for and having been to many weddings it was clear that Night Kitchen is able to bring in the right team for the job. The entire bar and serving staff were so lovely and professional. We are both big foodies and wanted something special for our NYC wedding that was also somewhat affordable. My husband is extremely detail-oriented and is a good cook. He was adamant about making sure our guests got the quality and variety/creativity we normally offer at home. Personally, I thought his expectations were off the chart, however Aaron took the time to understand him and thoughtfully guide us to the perfect menu. The flavoring, diversity, and quality of every dish was out of this world. I literally ate the leftovers they sent us home with the next day and was savoring every bite. The tasting in their Brooklyn kitchen was one of the best meals we have ever had, especially considering that we live in NYC and dine out regularly. I also highly recommend hiring Angela as your Wedding Day Of Coordinator or full the full planning process. She is so well-organized, has great ideas, and helped us through many decisions easily with her knowledge of the ins and outs of how to make a wedding run smoothly. Aaron and Angela will work with you to go above and beyond in every way. Book Night Kitchen now before everyone finds out about him!

e of weeks after the wedding and I continue to get compliments on the food. Night Kitchen also pulled of a delicious meal in a completely outdoor venue. Angela was amazing and took the time to sit with us on various occasions and organize our wedding day. When it came time for the wedding, my husband and I had an excellent time and were truly able to enjoy every moment, in large part due to Angela's organizational skills. Angela and all of Night Kitchen were the best decision we made!

n many ways - like making the effort of getting to know us and our history, listening to our preferences and vision, being so flexible and accommodating with our requests, working within our budget, coming out to our apartment for a private tasting, creating a customized menu to represent us as a couple, and just being such friendly, fun, and down to earth people. Chef Aaron not only warmly embraced my wife's challenge of an all vegetarian meal but also delivered above and beyond our expectations. The food was so interesting and flavorful that no one even noticed it was vegetarian because it was just SO good. Like others have claimed, our guests continue to compliment and ask about not only the food, but the service as well. The staff did a wonderful job setting up the space and creating our vision as well as providing professional yet friendly service to our guests. Angela was the contact person and was very responsive and helpful throughout the process, giving us advice and recommendations whenever we had any questions. We ended up having her as our day-of-coordinator as well and she made the night run so smoothly. With so many of our own DIY projects, Angela really allowed us to have a stress-free and enjoyable night. We're not sure how much more we can add with all the other glowing reviews but we do highly recommend Night Kitchen for your next event - you'll be in great hands!

election Process: The first good sign was that their website wasn't pretentious or overthought, unlike those of many other caterers. After I inquired about their availability with the basic details of my wedding (date, location, number of guests, budget), a tasting was set up at our apartment with Chef Aaron. He magically showed up on his bike with a big plastic container filled with many smaller containers of pure deliciousness. The whole tasting lasted about 3 hours, and we ate until our stomachs hurt--everything was just SO GOOD. That golden tomato sauce... Chef Aaron also was super warm and genuine. He just seemed so happy to cook! It was a wonderful experience, and we couldn't stop smiling. Planning Process: Angela, the Queen of Extraordinarily Helpful and Detailed Emails, communicated with us extensively about all the logistical matters, including letting us know what sort of rentals we would need. We definitely felt like we were in good hands since Angela was always quick to respond and thorough. Angela and Chef Aaron also were very keen to help us plan within our budget. We also asked Chef Aaron if we could customize and change up certain dishes, and he was extremely receptive to our wishes. The Wedding: The day-of was a bit hectic since we were doing everything ourselves, but once Chef Aaron and his crew showed up, they completely handled everything related to the set up, food/drink, and break down with grace and professionalism. My husband made our wedding cake, and he was really anxious until Chef Aaron reassured him everything was going to work out, which meant a lot to him. The crew were beyond courteous--everybody was pleasant to interact with, and our guests greatly appreciated the service. We were also so happy that we went with family style since everybody was seated at long tables and got to eat without having to wait around in a line. It was so much nicer than buffet style and so much easier than a plated meal. Family style just creates a warm, homey dining environment. Aftermath: Months later, people are still commenting on how amazing the food was and that it was the best food they've ever had at any wedding or event. It wasn't just good "wedding food"; it was good food, period. Finally, I recommended Night Kitchen to my coworker who is getting married, and she ended up hiring them too! : )

are serious Night Kitchen Catering fans! We were drawn to Night Kitchen because of the combination of pictures on the Night Kitchen website, and the positive reviews on yelp. Chef Aaron was the first caterer we contacted and we felt a great connection beginning with our initial phone conversation. We then met him when he came to our house to cook the tasting menu, it was a three hour meal of vibrant flavors across a variety of cuisines. As soon as the tasting started, we knew Night Kitchen had to be our caterer! Not only did Aaron cook us amazing food, but he had such a calm demeanor and welcoming personality. As we began the planning process, we were introduced to Angela who supported us with the logistics and she is absolutely wonderful! Our conversations continued with Chef Aaron around the menu, and we met with him to collaboratively create the menu. He was extremely attentive to our vision guided us to food he knew would be delicious while fitting in the intricacies of our tastes and preferences within every dish. From the night of our wedding at the Green Building to this day- so many of our guests have told us it was the best wedding food they ever had! In addition to the amazing food, the catering staff were lively, fun, attentive, and just all around great people. We are thrilled with our Night Kitchen Catering experience and wish we could eat their delicious food all the time. Thank you Aaron and Angela! You were amazing to work with and we would love to stay in touch! Best wishes, Simone & Adam

tasting in our tiny tiny kitchen. The food blew us away, we knew right then he was our man. We hired Angela as part of the package to be our day-of-coordinator. She went above and beyond helping us throughout the entire wedding planning process. Angela helped us with all the rentals, helped put together our menu, including the most delicious signature drink ever, and helped perfecting the layout of the space Angela took our vision and made it come to life. The food was absolutely amazing. We went with buffet style which worked perfectly for our wedding of 75. The wait staff and bartenders were all very professional and attentive. Our guest not only raved about the food but also raved about the staff. We would definitely recommend Night Kitchen. Our day could not have come together so perfectly with out Chef Aaron, Angela, and the rest of their team. They truly helped us make our wedding day the best day of our lives. We hope we get another chance to work with them, or at least attend an event they are catering!

pical boring wedding food" "Can Night Kitchen do my next party?" Aaron and his whole team were all so so lovely to work with from the first correspondence up through the wedding itself. We arranged to have a tasting dinner (he will come to you!) and that amazing dinner set the tone. He was professional yet easy going. And the food was delicious. It was a no brainer. The whole Night Kitchen team was great (shout out to Angela who was beyond helpful!). They were professional and prompt to respond to my emails throughout the planning process and quickly understood what we wanted for appetizers at cocktail hour, the family style dinner, and service. They also handled the rentals and staffing, which was all seamless. At the wedding itself, the food and service exceeded our already high expectations! About an hour before the wedding ended my husband was starving (the rumors are true -- you do not eat as much at your own wedding as you would like), so Aaron brought him a huge plate of leftover food. He was a happy camper (as was everyone else at our after-party who benefitted). We highly recommend Night Kitchen! Do yourself and all your guests a favor and hire them for your wedding!

He managed our kitchen deftly and professionally. He created a tasting that allowed a complete sampling of a variety of choices. He had a clear system for setting up, cooking, and cleaning up. The food was absolutely delicious, and made with such precision, and to perfection. We loved the spices and complex flavors, the colorful food that came from interesting pairings. Before the wedding: Angela was hired as a coordinator, and worked closely with us in the planning process. Our wedding was mostly DIY, and she helped us with some of the problem-solving. On the wedding day, she assisted in making sure things went smoothly. During the wedding: The wait staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. We liked this, especially considering that at big catering halls this tends not to be the case. They made managing food for such a large group seem seamless. We did not want to have stations, but rather passed hors d'oeuvres, so NK made sure there were some platters strewn about where the guests would be lounging before cocktail hour had begun. The food was served family style, which is my personal favorite, as it allows guests at mixed tables (bride’s family + groom’s family) to interact and allows guests to sample everything. We had three bartenders, and there was never a line at the bar. The waitstaff was always active, passing drinks around making sure everyone’s needs were being met. The food was presented beautifully, and it felt as, from the catering end, there were no hiccups (Which if you planned a wedding you know, there are always hiccups). Even the dessert station was gorgeous, and once again delicious. After the wedding: Our guests are still, weeks later, talking about the food. We have even had a family friend call us about the jicama salad so that she could look up recipes. We heard how delicious the mac + cheese bites were, the hake fish, the chicken in pistachio crust, the chicken wings, and the peach gazpacho. People were simply blown away by the attractive presentation. Although we already knew that Chef Aaron is amazingly talented, how everything came together was—wow. We should say, that we usually dislike wedding food. Many caterers when cooking for large parties, dry out the foods, or use shortcuts that make the meal difficult to enjoy. To walk away and say we absolutely loved the food at our wedding, and that our guests are still raving about it a month later, feels like a special gift within itself.

hich he prepared for us in our home) we knew for sure he was our guy - he was able to take our ideas for our menu and make them come to life in a way that made them seem elegant and unexpected (all while being mindful of our budget). Communication with Angela in the office was thorough and timely. The staff at the wedding was professional, polite, and attentive and did an excellent job of making sure we had everything we needed on our day. Just as important - they kept time for the event, which is crucial. The food was fantastic and we are still getting compliments on the meal. We didn't have to worry about a thing all night. It was perfectly wonderful and we look forward to having the chance to work with Night Kitchen again!

over the royals in Buckingham Palace, but he was ours. Best catering service ever.

n, a two-day affair blending two cultures, included three ceremonies, and four distinct meals from a Friday evening vegetarian dinner to a blend of Cambodian and Middle Eastern dishes Saturday noon and evening. Numbers of guests ranged from seventy-seven Friday evening to 138 Saturday lunch, to 188 Saturday evening. The bride’s mother prepared the Cambodian dishes and Alan took care of the Middle Eastern. Each meal, served family style, was a work of art in brilliant color, texture and flavor. We had fun during the planning process as Alan’s enthusiasm and creativity made for lively discussion. His knowledge of additional staff needed (all expert), even additional port-o-potties and where to get everyone and everything at the best prices made us feel secure and confident that everything would go off perfectly. And it did. He went beyond our expectations rising early Saturday morning, to make omelets to order and French toast out of Friday’s remaining challah, lacing it with Bourbon to the delight of our guests who camped out on the grounds. He kept the coffee pots and hot water going all weekend. Using fresh produce from a local farm, Aaron came in $5000 less than expected in fees. We cannot praise him enough. His generosity, enthusiasm, skill, love for his profession, ability to stay calm and focused no matter how chaotic a situation could be, makes him the best caterer in the business. We can’t wait to hire his services again.

ssment was right time and time again. In the end, we can honestly say that Aaron and the Night Kitchen Catering team were everything that we could have asked for and more. We would recommend them very highly without any reservations. Aaron, the culinary genius behind Night Kitchen Catering, was helpful, accommodating and understanding; he was efficient and easy to work with; he remained calm, and fun, the entire time; he was reasonably priced; and his food was just outstanding. He produced creative and unusual courses, worked with our budget (and never pressured us to try and increase it) and offered helpful suggestions along the way. Everything he made was a hit— I had no less than 7 of our guests come up and ask for Night Kitchen Catering's contact information because what the food was so memorable. Perhaps my overwhelming impression of Aaron, however, was just that he was a genuinely nice guy who wanted to make our wedding special. He was far more concerned that we were happy- and felt we were getting a fair price- than in anything else. He shared in our enthusiasm and we had fun with him— from pre wedding planning meetings to a tremendously festive tasting that he arranged at our apartment. He was our partner throughout the process, and not just someone we contracted. Given that we moved to Istanbul five weeks before the wedding, his patience and responsiveness really went above the call of duty. My (now) wife and I have gone to several weddings over the last year. At each one we said, “The food was nowhere near as good as what Aaron made— and I’m sure they paid a lot more than what we paid for Aaron.” Simply put, we can’t recommend Aaron and Night Kitchen catering enough— they really were the perfect choice.

rable for us and all of our guests. From the first moment we saw your site to our first meeting we knew you were the right person to make our day filled with a delicious memory for us and all of our guests. We consistently have our family and friends bring up the amazing food as a highlight of our wedding (a year later) and we know people will remember your amazing meal in years to come. We couldn't have imagined a better meal to start off our lives together and we hope to have you participate in more of our celebrations in years to come. You are a truly gifted chef and we cannot thank you enough for aiding in making our wedding day so special! All of our best, Linet and Davon Peters

inks outside of the box, coming up with fresh and new ideas on how to make food at a wedding an experience.

rs d'ouvres. It was 100% a success! We love Aaron and would hire Night Kitchen for any catered event.

cribes Night Kitchen's head Chef Aaron Unger is that he's an Artist. He worked closely with us in providing a seasonal selection of appetizers and Mains that fit perfectly well for our Summer outdoor wedding. He understood that the food itself made a statement about the wedding. I think what speaks volumes about his love and passion for cooking was that he worked with an ingredient he had never worked before... Mexican Mole. We shipped it from Puebla, Mexico a few weeks before the wedding and we were bit hesitant on how it would turn out. All my doubts about his skill quickly vanished as soon as the apps and meals were served. The Mole was simply profound, and out of this world. Even to this day, my wedding guests continue to rave about the food. I have no doubt that if you choose Night Kitchen as your caterer you will be greatly satisfied with the service and attention that they will give you. Location: Queens County Farm When: July 11th - Perfect summer weather, not hot at all (74 degrees). Full moon Guests: 82 +/- Bride and Groom age: 26/27 Theme: Country Outdoor

that fit our budget and taste. Our venue was extremely difficult to navigate but he handled it with grace. The servers were sweet and professional. Overall the team was excellent. I highly recommend Night Kitchen if you want something special and elegant but also accessible and down-to-earth.

the budget reasonable. We are trying to think of another event we can hire Aaron for asap! I dream of the lobster corn dogs and grilled shrimp often!

ght our Brooklyn caterer all the way upstate to show our family how the cool kids eat. Wholesome, real, food with seasonal ingredients and beautiful display. I have already told so many people about him and I plan on continuing.
