    Thank you, Z&G!!

    People are so right to rave about Zeffert & Gold. It has only been a few days since the wedding, and already, we have gotten so many compliments on the food (even from very picky eaters)! We are big foodies, and we knew we wanted the food to be a highlight of the day! There were a few issues with our first tasting early on in the process, which we raised with the team. It could not have been clearer since then that this was a fluke. They quickly brought us back in for a second tasting, which was PHENOMENAL - as was the food day-of! We had many dietary restrictions and detailed requests for the stations, all of which were accommodated beautifully. They knew how much I wanted fresh apple cider donuts for our fall wedding and did they ever deliver! That station in particular was such a hit, especially on the chilly, rainy day we got. Every person there, whatever their dietary needs, had great food to enjoy, and we are so grateful. Our coordinator, Stephanie, was friendly, communicative, and highly organized. She kept everything running so smoothly, even with the last-minute shakeups that happened with the rain. We could not recommend her, Matt, and the rest of the Z&G team enough. Thank you all!!

    10000000/10 would pick again!!

    Zeffert And Gold Catering made our wedding such a hit. From start to finish, they were responsive and kept us in the loop every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, their service was flawless and our guests couldn't stop talking about the food—honestly, it was the best we've ever had at a wedding. Everyone left impressed, and we felt like we'd made the smartest choice for our special day. We'd book them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

    Loved working with Z&G!

    There are so many thing we loved about working with Z&G. They were already winning us over before we even got to the tasting because they were the one vendor we talked to that took the cue that my then fiancé and I love Cheez-its as a sign to make us a special late night snack of Cheez-it coated chicken nuggets- smart idea to win us over! We loved the experience at the Tasting and they happily adjusted anything to reflect our suggestions/tweaks. Samantha at Z&G proved to be an amazing resource and was so kind, helpful and responsive! When we went to look at linens she made great suggestions that we ended up going with. However the best part of using Z&G was that their staff was so kind and attentive and our guests remarked how nice everyone was! We went with a Cocktail Style reception and everyone loved the delicious and fun options that really highlighted the vibe we had hoped for!

    Fantastic Food Made With Intention

    Working with Zeffert and Gold Catering was one of, if not, the best decision we made for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Adelaide and her team were responsive and thoughtful, taking time to understand exactly what we wanted and crafting a custom menu that felt personal to us. They worked quickly and efficiently on the day itself, keeping everything running smoothly while staying attentive to every detail. The food was superb and truly memorable, our guests are still talking about it weeks later! Adelaide and her team made us feel so supported throughout the entire process, and their work was simply unmatched. We can't recommend them enough to any couple looking for a caterer who genuinely cares about making their day special.

    The Burton Celebration

    We cannot recommend Zeffert & Gold enough! From the very beginning, Matt Gold was incredible to work with. He was always responsive, attentive, and helped us create a menu that perfectly fit the vision for our wedding. We went with food station and chose the taco station and Mediterranean station, and they were the perfect combination for our cocktail-style reception. The food was absolutely delicious, and the station displays looked beautiful. Everything was thoughtfully presented, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was. One thing that really stood out was Matt's dedication. He even came to our venue before the wedding to walk through the space with us and help plan where the stations would be set up. That extra level of care made us feel so confident that everything would come together seamlessly. Zeffert & Gold also provided the catering staff for our wedding, and every single team member was kind, professional, and incredibly hardworking. They kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes and truly helped bring our vision to life. If you're looking for a caterer that delivers exceptional food, beautiful presentation, and outstanding service, Zeffert & Gold is the team to hire. We are so grateful to Matt and the entire Z&G team for helping make our wedding day so special!
