Chef Covas Catering did our New Year's Eve wedding at the Long Branch Distillery - They were awesome! The food was fantastic and our point person Samantha was a pro! Lauren, Owner & Executive Chef, was very easy to work with in terms of planning the menu and offering suggestions - she clearly knows what she's doing and made my fiance' (now wife) very comfortable. All our requests were honored and the team was super-attentive and responsive during the event. They nailed the vibe we were looking for and our guests were extremely complimentary of their work. I would hire them again in a heartbeat and enthusiastically recommend them to anyone looking to cater an event.

Horrible experience, sadly it was my wedding. From the food, service, to pricing. Maybe the size of the wedding was too much to take on with all other projects. I felt neglected, led on and dismissed.

horrible experience, unfortunately it was my wedding. I felt led on. Food, service and pricing, and more. I regret using them.

Our experience with Chef Covas Catering was nothing short of phenomenal! The attention to detail in the food, the creative decor, and the delightful drinks made our event unforgettable.

We hired Chef Covas Catering for our daughter’s birthday yesterday and they were incredible. The food was delicious and plentiful. They were very reasonably priced. We will absolutely hire them again for future events!

Chef Covas and her team are amazing. Super helpful and attentive throughout the entire process. Service for 60 was flawless and every item brought out was met with rave reviews. The servers were beyond wonderful. If you need an event catered, stop your searching here and go with Chef Covas.
We hired Chef Covas for our medium (~150) sized wedding this summer and were THRILLED with the entire experience. Chef Covas and her team pulled together an absolutely beautiful event! Everyone we encountered from her team was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely customer driven.The food was wonderful - we had 8-10 passed appetizers, huuuuge mediterranean/charcuterie spread, a full plated dinner, and assortment of desserts. Our guests raved about the food! My husband and I have been in the restaurant industry for years so the quality of the food for our wedding was critical and they blew it out of the park. Steaks not overcooked, chicken not dry, fish was flavorful and fresh. I wish I could go back to my own wedding just to eat!We also hired Chef Covas as a day of coordinator; after 4+ years of being engaged and moving the wedding twice (thanks COVID) I just genuinely did not have the capacity to manage the event; Lauren stepped in and really made the whole night perfect. Everything looked beautiful, Lauren is super personable and easy to work with, our families really liked her and everyone was relieved not to have to think about much! Having the caterer also be DOC was a good choice since the two roles are intertwined so closely.I would hire Chef Covas again in a heartbeat - we had a truly lovely experience! 10/10.

Absolutely amazing!!!! We recently had Valentines Day and Easter catered. The food is delicious, fresh and abundant. Her portions are generous and prices are very good for the quality. We will be ordering Mothers Day brunch and we refer to all our friends.

WOW - would have given MORE STARS if possible. Chef Covas Catering is FANTASTIC! Do not hesitate to use them. We had a baby shower with COVID safety in mind, with upscale boxed lunches, fruit bruschetta, and a two-tiered cake and everyone in attendance raved about the food. And believe me we have some very discerning foodies in the group. The prices were very reasonable for the high quality of food and presentation that we received. Chef Covas and her operations director Evelyn were very professional and accommodating. They saw our vision for a Teddy Bear Picnic-themed event and ran with it. They never had a negative or "can't be done" attitude. Extremely professional and willing to please. Despite a mix-up with the cake, everyone stated that the flavors were amazing and the cake was excellent! Best fondant (plus buttercream) that I ever tasted. Because of the cake mix-up, Chef Covas sent a small gift for the honoree and that was so touching and meaningful to be so worried to make things right. In addition, it is so impressive that Chef Covas was a Chopped and Supermarket Sweeps champion. Our guests were truly impressed and the guest of honor, who watches all types of cooking shows, was thrilled that we chose Chef Covas as our caterer. Also, Bernadette, our server for the day, was the best. She handled everything with, again, professionalism and calm. Couldn't have pulled this off without her. We had a mix of sun, rain, wind, and sun again. She was right on top of the various changed and pivots we had to implement. Can't wait to use Chef Covas Catering again (and again!)
