We had a mixed experience with our caterer.
The tasting and early stages of planning were phenomenal — the food, service, and professionalism truly impressed us, and we were confident in our choice. Shanon later became our main point of contact, and while she was kind and responsive at times, there were several communication gaps along the way. We often had to follow up multiple times on pending items, and sometimes promised attachments or answers were missed. We gave the team the benefit of the doubt since they’re quite popular and have a great reputation.
As our wedding day approached, we were genuinely excited to share the food we loved during the tasting with our guests. Unfortunately, a few things didn’t go as expected. We ordered a lunch buffet with extra portions to ensure everyone had plenty to eat, but it seemed like guests at the front of the line received much larger servings, leaving those toward the end with limited food. We were also told that the bride and groom would be served, but that didn’t happen until the very end — which was disappointing on our own wedding day.
Additionally, several guests mentioned that the salmon was overly fishy and not quite what we remembered from the tasting. Since catering was one of the most important parts of our day, we were disappointed that the quality and execution didn’t fully meet expectations.
We did reach out afterward — not to ask for a refund or discount — but to share our experience so future couples might avoid similar issues. We truly hope they take the feedback constructively, as the potential for excellence is absolutely there with a bit more consistency and attentiveness on the big day.

I had my rehearsal dinner 9/9/22 at Under the Moon and the experience was every bride's dream from start to finish. Luz worked with my mother in law to plan all the details and executed on them perfectly. The food was delicious and everyone could not stop raving about the dessert. The best part though was when the zipper on my dress broke 10 minutes after arriving at the restaurant and Luz wasted no time trying to find a solution. I'd recommend having any event here! You'll be in amazing hands.

It was such a pleasure working with Under the Moon! My husband and I felt so well taken care of by Luz. Leading up the wedding, Luz was so communicative and really made sure we felt prepared. Working with Luz felt like working with a close friend. Our wedding day felt seamless and I knew we had someone looking out for us. Luz, Ryan, and the rest of the staff were so friendly and our guests and family loved them. The food was SO YUMMY.

Luz and her team were great to work with and the food was incredible. They made sure everything food related ran smoothly the day of and handled clean up the day after without involving us. From our perspective - it was seamless. The cake was our highlight ( we are still eating it for dinner every night) Their crew even stepped in to help put the sides down of our tent when it got a little chilly. Would hire again.

Under the Moon catered our Fall 2021 wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you are a foodie, go with these guys! The food is phenomenal. When my guests bring up my wedding, 99% of the time they mention the food (especially the short rib!) Not only was the food creative and delicious, but Luz and her husband were also so incredibly helpful through the whole wedding planning process. Luz served as my Wedding Coordinator and I can't imagine the day going as smooth as it did without her. They were both on board with any idea I had, as crazy as it seemed, and helped make everything magical. They ended up working hand in hand my venue owner and altogether I just had the best team because they were the most lovely people to work with. Also, go with the pie bar for the dessert option. You won't be disappointed!

Luz and the team at Under the Moon were phenomenal. Luz helped us create a fun, diverse, and well-rounded menu - something everyone from kids to grand parents would enjoy. We heard from our guests that the food was amazing...we loved it too and were eating the few leftovers everyday until we finished it off! Highly recommend the empanadas. The staff were excellent - very professional and friendly. Leading up to the wedding Luz was pivotal - she shared a list of vendors, provided logistics, helped with color themes, and laid out the best design/flow for seating, drinks, and food. Luz was also easy to communicate with/reach and by the time the wedding day came her team arrived promptly and immediately begin prep and set-up since we already had a plan in place.

Simply the best! From the first communication to the tasting to every little detail afterwards, the team at Under the Moon Lambertville were amazing in helping me plan my covid-safe microwedding. Luz, the event coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The food and cake received rave reviews from our guests. Highly, highly recommend!
