Zesty Gourmet

i grilled cheeses for our cocktail hour. For dinner we had salad, sea bass or brisket, and an unbelievable dessert bar. Everything was amazing and many of our guests said it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. The only thing we would change would be that we wouldn’t have picked shrimp as I think that’s hard to cook at the perfect temp at such a high volume (it was a little overdone). Otherwise everything was amazing!

rictions our venue had. The huge charcuterie board was a big talking point at our wedding and how everything they presented was gorgeous!! Leanne worked with us to find a time we could come in for the tasting since we live across the country. Let me just say, that was our favorite part of wedding planning! Everything they make is mouth watering, so it was hard to choose our wedding day menu (a GREAT problem to have!). The bartenders and waiters provided top notch service and they moved very quickly to serve all of our guests. I am so impressed with their team and will be recommending them to everyone! *note: the only picture of the food our photographers took was of the salad, all other pictures are from the tasting*

ended and we left every interaction with Zesty Gourmet almost too full of absolutely delicious food (and drinks). They let us try the food before contracting them which was huge for us, and then we also had a full Chef's Tasting to make our menu selections leading up to the wedding. We have had multiple friends and family members tell us we had the best food of any wedding they've been to. Zesty handled all food, staff, and alcohol for us and the drinks were also incredible. We had a full open bar plus two signature cocktails that were very fun (and 'gramable). We also didn't want to do a cake so they did an incredible dessert bar for us with mini pecan pies, cookies, brownies, and apple cobbler with ice cream. Our wedding was at the Manor at Airmont where they are based, and Natallia on that team made a hanging display for the dessert which was so fun. They also can do catering at other locations, not just the Manor. Probably one of my biggest regrets of the wedding is that my dress was so well tailored that after I ate all the incredible appetizers at cocktail hour and our salad course, I was too full to eat all of my dinner but the great team boxed it up for me to eat at the end of the night! They also did late night bites for us which were such a hit and a way better use of wedding budget than favors. The team boxed them up for our guests at the end of the night to take on the shuttle with them back to the hotel too. We had several guests with dietary restrictions (including a cousin who didn't tell me she was vegetarian until at the welcome event the day before) and they were extremely accommodating of all, which included vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, gluten free, no pork, and nut allergies. They were also able to add extra vegan/ vegetarian entrees the day of despite the late notice. As part of our package we also contracted the guest rooms at the Manor at Airmont which included brunch the next morning for the immediate family, which was also delicious - scones, breads, muffins, egg dishes, all made in house and with multiple vegan and gluten free options! Here is everything we were able to enjoy from them: day-of food while getting ready (fruits/ pastries, coffee and tea, lunch of sandwiches and charcuterie, mimosas), full wedding food and drinks (charcuterie board, bruschetta's, and passed appetizers during cocktail hour; salad course, appetizer, and steak for dinner; dessert bar; late night bites which was mini pizzas, french fries, and something else I'm forgetting), full open bar (including signature cocktails and wine served with dinner), and morning after brunch. If you want great portions of great food, book Zesty Gourmet for your wedding or honestly any other event where you need a caterer.

as one of the highlights of the day! We had the spicy Asian salmon as an entree option and my husband and I looked at each other after one bite and said "I want to marry this salmon instead." Everything from the cocktail hour to the late night bites and desserts - our guests still talk about the food 6 months later! When pizza was brought out at 10pm, one of our guests said "this is the best wedding ever." Not to mention it is totally catered to what you want - there's no set menu so if you want certain menu items, food allergies, intolerances, or preferences, the staff at the Manor at Airmont and Zesty Gourmet will make it happen. Our wedding weekend was the best weekend of our lives, and we're so thankful for everyone at the Manor and Zesty Gourmet for making it happen.

tered our son and his wife’s wedding recently at Airmont, and all I can say is “wow.” This is not just phenomenal wedding food; it is phenomenal food, period. The feedback was wonderful. Guests truly loved everything served. Price was quite fair, considering the high quality. Highly, highly recommend!
