Zoe Deleu Catering

asy and lovely to work with. She and her team are so hard working, and their labor of love shines through all that they do!

g - this will not be a review per se, but a love letter to Zoe and her works of umami art! First of all, do yourself a favor - book a tasting with Zoe immediately (as in yesterday). My (newly wedded) husband and I were speechless at our tasting; the only words we could say were “oh my god this is good” every time we sampled something. If you book a tasting now you’ll save yourself a ton of time searching for a caterer because it’ll be quickly apparent that you will not find anyone better. Anyways… so typically a bride does not want to be upstaged at her wedding, but let me tell you, the food was the star and I was NOT mad about it. I think almost every one of our 135 attendees came up to us to tell us that the food was amazing and hands down “the best food [they] have ever had at a wedding in [their] lives.” This was coming from people who are absolutely not chicken and rice people — but from people who live and eat in major cities all over the world with sophisticated palates and are VERY VERY critical about their food. I heard nothing but good things (trust me I would have heard about it if they had any criticism). Additionally, Zoe’s plating is divine, the service of her staff is impeccable and I don’t have a single point of need for development feedback. If we wanted a mix of flavors (like black sesame and green tea tarts for dessert), Zoe can accommodate that. A cajillion different allergies? Zoe can handle it. Have no idea what you want? Zoe will gently guide you towards particular choices that fit your menu and guest needs. I told you, this is a love letter, not a review. However, I think my absolute favorite part about Zoe is that she is humble, kind and treats her staff with the utmost respect. She is a lovely person who loves her craft and the craft loves her back. Zoe you’re wonderful and I wish you nothing but the best!!

she works to make sure every detail is up to your standards and she pulls it all off with style and grace. We are so happy with how everything turned out. We couldn't recommend Zoe and her team any higher.

ut Zoe was with us every step of the way and extremely communicative about each step in the process. Our wedding was unique in that we did not have a formal sit down dinner and instead did passed food for the duration of the reception. Zoe was so on board with our idea and put together an eclectic and wide ranging menu that kept our guests fed while giving them extra time to dance the night away. Zoe also accommodated our other extra requests, for example making custom mini black and white cookies to give out as party favors for our guests. [People were obsessed with these!] She also worked with us to have outside Pies brought in to be sliced and distributed to guests instead of a traditional wedding cake. Most importantly though, Zoe was a warm and calming presence among our vendors throughout the very stressful process of planning a wedding. At no point were we ever stressed or worried about the food portion of our big day. Additionally, because Zoe works as a preferred vendor at Housing Works, she was able to be a great communicator with their team and seemed to always understand exactly what we wanted. All in all you should book Zoe for your Big Day. Not only will you and your guests get to enjoy amazing food, but you'll be in great hands with a genuinely wonderful person.
