We are a Queens-based community roastery that brings craft hot and iced drinks to the greater NYC area. Started with a mission to build community at our brick and mortar in Elmhurst, we expanded to do mobile so that we can be a part of building community through the connection of coffee throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

“We loved having Elm Roastery at our wedding! My husband and I have a long history of fond memories and treasured conversations shared over a coffee, and we are so joyful that Elm was able to bring this to life and help us share this tradition with our loved ones. A highlight I want to note in my review is how professional and kind their barista was. The coffee enthusiasts of our bunch had so much fun asking questions and learning about their workflow and craft coffee process. Our friends and family also really enjoyed trying drinks that they may not have tried otherwise, and had only great things to say about them! Plus, coffeecake3. We also found their offerings to be at a great value. Their communication, attention to detail, and rates make it clear that their heart and passion is in the coffee and connection. They made a custom menu for us and, in addition to standard offerings, had decaf, alternative milks, flavor syrups, chai, teas, and hot cocoa available. There was absolutely something for everyone! The Elm Roastery coffee cart would be a lovely addition to any gathering, but for us personally, it was also a great way to offer something fun and new drink-wise after a late lunch as we did not have alcohol at our celebration. If you are also looking at throwing a sober wedding (or any other kind of wedding), I would highly recommend and consider having the Elm coffee cart! Elm Roastery is a Queens gem and they added such warmth and joy to our day. You should 100% message Peter. Like right now. P.S. you can preview their coffee at their cafe in Elmhurst so you don't have to just take my word for it!”

Jill worked with us to create a menu that spoke to all of our childhood favorites and tastes from home that had all of our guests watering at at the mouth, and some even bonding over what some of the dishes meant to us and our families. As a Miami native and Italian American (respectively), we wanted the food to touch on our love of Latin and Italian food, which Jill touched on perfectly (especially with the meatballs and empanadas!). From day 1, Jill was truly Team Shelby and Jordan, and for that we could not be more grateful.”

“For my son and daughter-in-law's wedding at Greenpoint Loft in the spring, we hosted 170 guests and ultimately chose Melody and the Eventfull team. We started our search over a year in advance, and Melody immediately stood out. Over the course of what must have been a thousand emails, she remained exceptionally responsive, positive and accommodating to every unique idea we proposed. Her extensive experience and deep familiarity with the nuances of Greenpoint Loft—a beautiful but raw and empty warehouse space requiring everything from ovens to tables to be brought in—were invaluable. Melody navigated our complex culinary vision with ease. Late in the planning process, the couple decided on appetizers from their favorite Korean restaurant and dinner from a preferred Italian spot. Melody took complete charge of this logistical challenge, coordinating directly with the restaurant chefs to manage food quantities, delivery timing, plating, and presentation. Her ability to oversee the kitchen and timing for external vendors was truly incredible. Beyond catering, Melody managed all rentals—including tables, linens, servingware and silverware—and flawlessly executed the bar setup with our provided alcohol. Her team handled every detail, from setting tables with name cards and menus to diligently tracking guest food allergies. The day was seamless thanks to Melody’s proactive communication with our other vendors and day-of wedding coordinator. The entire staff was professional and efficient; a special thank you to Nico, who ensured the wedding couple and our families were well-attended to throughout the evening. Melody and her staff truly went above and beyond. Knowing Melody was in charge allowed me to fully relax and enjoy the celebration. She and her team made the planning process enjoyable and the execution flawless. I cannot recommend Eventfull highly enough.”

We didn’t want a traditional buffet so he came up with a beautiful 4-corner display so each section could have their own semi-private food display.

“We couldn't have had a better experience working with Nick and his team for our wedding welcome party. Nick is a true professional. Not only is he personable, but he cares deeply about creating the perfect spread for the occasion, catering to guest preferences, location/venue, and vibe. Nick worked calmly and diligently to curate a perfectly diverse menu that our guests raved about all evening and into the next day. He was also more than willing to work within our budget and did so with ease. We never felt pressured to spend beyond our means and also never felt that our budget would require us to compromise on guest experience. In fact, we were shocked at the delicious and abundant offerings we were able to serve our guests in light of our constraints. We also cannot say enough positive things about Nick's team, especially bartender, Miguel. Miguel ensured our guests were well taken care of all night, refilling drinks without being prompted to do so. Our guests commented many times about his professionalism and positive disposition, serving guests with a smile. We also, unexpectedly, extended our event by two hours because our guests were enjoying themselves so much and Miguel had no issues accommodating our last minute change. Finally, in addition to arriving on time (despite the sudden torrential downpour that struck the city an hour before Nick's team was due to arrive at the venue), Miguel cleaned the venue before leaving for the night, leaving it exactly as he found it. We highly recommend Nick's team for any event, big or small, and will absolutely use them again. The food was delicious and the service was delightful.”

Purslane is part of The Oberon Group, a Brooklyn neighborhood-focused restaurant group with a commitment to sustainability. We started Purslane in 2012 as a way to serve our community outside of our restaurants. Sustainability wasn’t part of our origin story, but we realized we had an opportunity to make a difference in one of the most wasteful industries out there. We are seasoned experts in executing corporate events of all sizes, ranging from galas and banquets, to private dinners, to multi-day conferences for hundreds of guests, to weekly lunch drop-offs for your whole office.

“Working with Purslane, and especially with Michaela and Justin, was a highlight of our wedding planning, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had such excellent partners in producing our event. The staff, especially Michaela and Justin, are responsive, friendly, accommodating, and professional; the space is gorgeous and beautifully maintained and operated; the food and drink were bountiful and delicious, and the service rivaled any of New York's fine restaurants. Best of all, the process of collaborating to make our wedding happen was easy and fun, and Michaela and Justin made us, the nervous engaged couple with a million things to manage, very confident that our day would not just go as planned, but would be a beautiful success. And indeed it was! Of all the people we worked with. Michaela and Justin deserve special mention. They are excellent communicators, responsive to the million questions and people that wedding planning entails. They are proactive collaborators, laying out a clear process and schedule not just for the day, but for the process of working to plan it. They provided useful, detailed documentation at every step of the way, including a very helpful list of recommended vendors. Every meeting with them was fun and friendly, but also productive, punctual and a good use of time. And of course, the food and wine tastings were delicious. Michaela and Justin were so helpful in giving us a sense of how the venue would perform in a situation we wouldn't get to experience until the day itself. They guided us expertly, making shrewd suggestions we might not have considered ("Since you have an open bar, we recommend choosing a heavier vegetarian entree.") My wife and I had a unique vision for our event, and these two not only assured us that it was possible, they worked with the park to accommodate myriad details, even down to the selection of lightbulbs. It's no exaggeration to say that without their help, the event would not have had the specific atmosphere we imagined, nor would it have been the roaring success that it was. All the confidence they inspired along the way paid off on the day, when Michaela, Justin, and their staff were a machine. The service was prompt, helpful, and invisible; the food was great, not losing too much in the translation from tasting to event; the wedding ran perfectly smoothly, with Purslane on top of the schedule, keeping the momentum of the night alive as they moved tables, served each course, operated the bars, and so on with perfect cadence. We are so, so grateful to Purslane for making our wedding a true dream come to life. Our only regret is not responding sooner to their lovely post-wedding thank you note, and for taking so long to write this review! To you recently-engageds with so many decisions to make, let me help you with this one: your search is over; just hire Purslane.”

“We couldn't be more thrilled with the catering service provided by Bartleby & Sage for our wedding! From the initial tasting to the final course, everything was absolutely perfect. The team went above and beyond to ensure that our guests had an unforgettable dining experience. First off, the tasting was a breeze— Leslie made us feel so comfortable and guided us through the menu options, offering thoughtful suggestions based on our preferences. We appreciated her flexibility and creativity, helping us choose a menu that reflected our personal tastes. On the big day, the food was a standout. The presentation was elegant, and the flavors were out of this world! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was, from the appetizers to the main course to the decadent desserts. The staff was attentive, professional, and made sure everything was served at the perfect temperature and with impeccable timing. One thing that really impressed us was how seamlessly everything was handled. The catering team was discreet yet efficient, making sure the flow of food didn’t interrupt the festivities but still keeping everything on track. It was clear they were highly experienced and took great pride in their work. Not only was the food outstanding, but the overall service and experience were top-notch. Leslie and her team truly made our wedding day even more special, and we’re so grateful for their hard work and dedication.

“We used Nicole's Catering for our wedding in June 2024, and it was a terrific experience. Kate, Katrina and their team were extremely helpful the whole way, working with us to make sure the entire dining experience was everything we wanted. They are pros. We never had to worry about anything regarding the catering during the planning. They were flexible when we had specific questions and on top of everything. As for the food, we’re still getting compliments about it a few months later (yeah, sorry, this review is a little late). The filet was one of our choices, and it was fantastic – perfectly cooked and a large portion. Guests have also called out the firecracker salmon and the dessert cookies, and the tenderloin crostini passed appetizer was one of my favorite parts of the meal. Nicole’s does a great job with the bar, as well. Fantastic experience all around and would absolutely recommend.”

“Chef Aaron and the Night Kitchen team were an absolute dream to work with. We had a fully plant-based wedding, and they went above and beyond to create a delicious, beautifully designed menu that exceeded our expectations. It was important to us to impress our guests and show them how stunning and flavorful vegan food can be and Night Kitchen delivered. The menu was incredibly creative and thoughtful, and every dish felt intentional. From the seamless communication with the team to the wonderful tasting experiences, every step of the process was a pleasure.
