“Me and my husband chose MAHFY to cater our 80 person wedding because they offered extensive menu options and the price was right. We are SO GLAD we went with them. This husband and wife team was a true pleasure to work with from the beginning. They came to our home for a tasting, which made for a lovely sort of date night. We enjoyed getting to know them and felt very taken care of. They remained attentive and communicative in the months leading up to the wedding, answering any questions right away. At the wedding, our guests were delighted by the food, and I’m still hearing praises of it a month later.

La Mila Catering & Events 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

Starting their careers in the restaurant and food industry, Elie & Heidi Hanna decided to utilize their unique experiences and create their own vision of a full service event company. La Mila is named after their daughter, Milana, who provides them with limitless inspiration and motivation.

Awarded Best of Zola
“This review is a tad long so bear with me. I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024. While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team. I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends. Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely. In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her. Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert. We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated. Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed. Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism. *I wish I took pictures.”

Under the Moon Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Starts at $1,955
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

Under the Moon Café was born in 2006 from the desire of Estela Buontempo Orosco and Santiago Orosco to create a restaurant with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that offers home cooked style meals and the best desserts in Bordentown, NJ. The exquisite made from scratch food from our internationally inspired cuisine, along with a well known customer service reputation drove us to open another location in Lambertville, NJ, giving us the opportunity to expand our family.

“We selected Under the Moon for our afterparty, as it’s located just a five-minute walk from Lambertville Station, our wedding venue. Working with Dayna was delightful. Her communication was prompt and she provided excellent suggestions for our menu. Weeks before the wedding, we had received more interest in the afterparty than we initially planned for. We were grateful that Dayna offered that we move the party to the restaurant’s heated tent. Ultimately, an impending snowstorm post-wedding limited attendance, allowing the party to be held indoors in the restaurant’s larger dining room. Nonetheless, we were very appreciative of Under the Moon’s flexibility, hospitality, and delicious food. Our family happily devoured the after party leftovers the next day during the blizzard.”

Uncommon Unions 
Rating: 5.0 (15 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Avenel, NJ

Uncommon Unions started as a shift in how I wanted to cook and share food. I’ve spent years working in kitchens, and over time I realized what stuck with people wasn’t the most complicated dish. It was the one that felt thoughtful, well made, and actually enjoyable to eat. That’s what I try to bring into everything I do now. Cooking in a way that feels intentional, a little different, but still grounded and approachable. A lot of what I care about is how people experience food together. The energy around it, the way it brings people in, the moments it creates. That’s really what Uncommon Unions is built on.

“From our first conversation with Chef Jacob at Uncommon Unions, we knew we were in good hands. His communication was clear and educational—he took time to understand what we wanted and tailored everything to fit our vision, not what we thought a wedding dinner should look like. Having someone guide us through both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day meant we could stop stressing about food and start enjoying our celebration. On the actual day, Chef Jacob and his team delivered exactly what we hoped for: locally sourced, high-end dishes that felt fresh and nothing like typical wedding fare. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good and FRESH the food was, and honestly, without a day of planner, having Uncommon Unions handle everything so smoothly was a huge relief. We're grateful for a vendor that made one of our biggest worries disappear.”

Of course the food was outrageously good with super unique choices (our appetizers included turkey and brie egg rolls and bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese to just name a few), but the start-to-finish support and care taken by Tori, Nina, and Patty put our mind at ease throughout the entire day. And that was so important to us. Tori helped us throughout the entire planning process make the decisions that suited us best, and was always there to hype up our choices. Nina ran the smoothest ship the day of the wedding. And Patty was incredible day-of, making sure we ate, drank, and were well taken care of. We wanted a fun party that felt uniquely us, and Summit helped us achieve that. We are so, so grateful, and hope to be able to work with them again in the future.”
