Shore Catering

d keep everything running smoothly.

lub. From start to finish, Summer and the team made sure our questions were answered and our requests were honored. The food was absolutely delicious and many compliments were received. Shore Catering worked collaboratively with all of our vendors and made our special day run smoothly and without issue. Look no further for a caterer for your special event!

ork with, offering tips and suggestions, but never being pushy. She was respectful of our budget and even suggested some venues to us (including the one we wound up going with, that we had never heard of before and didn't come up in any of our searches- and wound up being perfect! Thank you for that, Patty!) Our first conversation was over the phone and the next day she emailed me a mock up quote with a sample menu and cost. We live across the country so were only in town a few times before the wedding and each time, Patty made herself available to meet with us. In between meetings, she was very responsive over e-mail fine-tuning the menu based on our requests. She was able to accommodate our style by offering alternatives and substitutions, which was much appreciated. The ease of communication and willingness to work with us on our many requests was invaluable, as it never added to the stress of wedding planning. Due to this we wound up ordering brunch for the next morning (after the wedding) with Shore Catering as well, which was completely customized to our requests. Patty was great at thinking of things that we hadn't and making suggestions of things we may need. She felt like more than a caterer in that she not only suggested venues to us, but also handled working with a vendor that we rented some tables from, helped set these tables with linens and ties that we provided, suggested where we buy our alcohol from, and connected us with a bartender (who also did a great job and was within our budget). All of these things really helped us with securing many needs for our wedding besides just the food. We heard from many of our guests that the food was great, especially the cocktail hour- which unfortunately, we didn't get to experience much of. My only complaint is that the dessert that we ordered was not what was served and we never heard an apology following the event about it so we were disappointed by that. In the big scheme of things that was pretty insignificant, as the dessert(s) were still yummy and the above-and-beyond service otherwise overshadowed that one oversight. The staff that was on hand was also great, as was the buffet display, including the decor that they used on the catering tables, that matched our beach theme. The day after brunch was delicious. The bagels from Jersey Shore Bagel and Deli were outstanding and the omelet bar was a huge hit! All the food was spot on and the staff was on point. We were very happy with Shore Catering and recommend them to help reduce the stress of planning your event!

n the perfect BBQ style menu and coordinate everything from our cake design to rentals and set up. She answered every question promptly and even offered some great advice. Bryan and the rest of the staff did such an amazing job with our day-of coordination! Everything looked beautiful, ran smoothly, and the food was fantastic! Our guests are still talking about the food! We would highly recommend hiring Shore Caterers for your next event!
