Paula LeDuc Fine Catering & Events

I didn't end up using the catering company after being quoted $500-$550 per person for food, non-alcoholic beverages, and tableware rentals for a 62 person wedding. I don't know who can afford over $30k for food alone, but that's insanity. The caterer we ended up going with is incredible, well-reviewed and is a 1/4 of the price. Stay away from people like this who are trying to take advantage of the wedding industry.

My venue exclusively uses PLD and that definitely sealed the deal for the decision for me. Everywhere I looked and everyone I talked to said that PLD is the best of the best and boy are they right. From the delicious cookies and popcorn given to us at the venue tour and tasting to the addictive appetizers at the cocktail hour, the experience truly was perfect. Maya and Kate were fantastic to work with. I only wish they had a restaurant or a storefront where I could eat their food all the time!! Could not recommend highly enough, they are the BEST.

Paula Leduc Fine Catering IS the best. There is no other caterer who comes close to their presentation, flavors, or service. Not only is their food outstanding and my guests will NOT stop raving but their staff actually cares about your guests! This is not any other caterer but the one you hire when you want the best.

PLD is truly a gem and tour de force. To be lucky enough to have PLD cater any event always guarantees brilliance - food, service and creativity! This June, PLD catered our wedding held at a Private Estate in Rutherford. From start to finish, we were greatly impressed by their professionalism, highest food quality and offerings and their enthusiasm for our event. We are so grateful have had PLD on our team - it was one of the best investments we made! They truly are the best. We worked with Jaclyn, who is incredibly thoughtful, professional and truly a star. She always went out of her way to accommodate us and make us feel special. Casandra was our lead in execution and she could not have been more accomplished - her wealth of knowledge in the industry speaks volumes. Casandra and her team executed our vision without a hitch. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, and I couldn't have asked for a better team to help! Everything, from our rentals to the food to the service, was flawless. PLD manages to think of all the details before you and are always there in the moments that you need them. For instance, while I was waiting to walk down the aisle with my dad, we had to stand in the sun for some time and a member of the staff had an umbrella for us and held it above our heads up until the moment went started walking. PLD worked with us to design a few food items that we wanted to personalize for our wedding. The pastry chef collaborated with us to design a beautiful dessert buffet and was always willing to work with us to get it right. Vegetables were sourced from the estate's garden. They are extremely conscious of consumption and always try to source locally. Tres bien! Event staff was gracious, timely and never intruded into the event. They had impeccable timing, Throughout our day we had our own private servers who always tended to us. Never over the top, always just right. At the end of the evening, we were sent home with a gift basket and food from the day so that we could enjoy it. During the ceremony, Casandra and Jaclyn both checked in with us to make sure there wasn't anything else we needed to feel comfortable. We truly felt like stars! A few quotes from our quests: "The BEST food, let alone WEDDING food!" "The staff was like dining at a Michelin 5 star restaurant." "They were always there - and even when I sat down late, they plated my entree and it was HOT, not room temp, like it usually is at weddings. As PLD says, "Perfect will be just fine." And, it's the truth!
