There are not enough words to describe how happy we were with Ultimate Caterer! We had our 200+ wedding at our farm and we knew bringing in food was going to be one of the harder things to work with. We envisioned having a never ending cocktail hour throughout the entire night and it was tough finding vendors to accommodate our vision and budget.I am so happy I found Alan! Alan offered exactly what we were looking for plus more! Throughout the entire night they had their staff walk around with trays of appetizers so our guests were able to eat whenever they wanted. Along with that, we had buffet stations for "dinner" time because there's no such thing as too much food! For dessert, they did the same thing and walked around with trays and went up to people to serve - this was amazing as majority of our guests stayed on the dance floor all night so they liked not needing to step away to grab a treat! Food was so amazing, our guests are still raving about it!Alan took great care of us the day of the wedding as well. My now husband and I were obviously so busy the day of the wedding so Alan kept coming up to us to bring us food and DRINKS!Since we had to outsource basically everything to accommodate a wedding in our backyard, we were able to get all rentals through Alan. This made the process so much easier for us because it was one less vendor we had to work with and Alan handled securing all the rentals we needed. All rentals looked exactly as pictured or even better!Alan was so kind throughout the entire process and made sure we were happy every step of the way. He was very responsive, especially with some urgent needs days before the wedding.I highly recommend Ultimate Caterer for any event!!

The entire Ultimate crew was incredible! From planning the menu to ensuring we had everything we needed as a couple and making sure our family and friends had everything they needed, Ultimate truly went above and beyond. It would certainly be a miss if I didn’t mention that the food was incredible! Amazing from start to finish. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Alan and team!

I am so excited to write this review. Alan and his team did a fantastic job for our wedding this past weekend at Art Factory Studios. From the beginning, Alan set the schedule and delivered everything I asked for. Any inspiration photo from decoration to style of food was delivered. I had zero concern for the past year (from time booked to execution) that the catering would be anything less than exceptional.When I asked other brides for feedback from their wedding, the biggest blunders always were connected with the food. Well, not at my wedding! Even the pickiest members of my family said that the strolling appetizers were the best ever! We got tons of compliments on the lamb and sirloin, and the snacking potato bar.The wedding cake was perfection. Not only was it exactly as I envisioned but Alan decorated it with the flowers from the florist. Alan personally made sure that every step was executed with class and perfection.Alan produces the entire food service, anything you want he will make happen.

From the second we met Alan we knew he was going to make sure our day was perfect! The food was endless. Every guest came up to us with mouths full telling us their favorite dish! We booked the ultimate buffet and had a large cocktail hour with the most delicious hors d'oeuvres and a beautiful cold display. Dinner we had 3 large stations for guests to enjoy and you cannot forget the strolling desserts. We also had an after party on site with of course more food!! Alan and his team made sure everything was set up, cleaned up , and that the drinks were flowing!! The Ultimate Caterers are definitely top notch!

I am so happy we hired Ultimate Caterers for our wedding at the Art Factory, this past Sunday 10/8/23. They totally live up to their name!! Alan was incredible to work with from day 1. He was extremely communicative and professional. Heidi worked with us on the day of our wedding and she was an absolute dream! She went above and beyond for us, even helping with things like last min decor, bustling my dress, and cleaning up a leak near our sweetheart table. The staff working that night was also great and attentive. Ultimate caterers do not play when it comes to their food!!! We had some much and it was so delicious ! Our guests were super impressed, everything from the appetizers to the desserts were awesome!!! We did a taco bar as a late night snack and that was a complete hit! Ultimate caterers is 100% the way to go for your wedding! Thanks Alan and Heidi!!!

We were very happy with Ultimate Caterers, and Alan Perl and his team. They did a fantastic job at our son’s wedding. Everything went smoothly, the food was great, the servers were terrific, and Alan did all he could to make us happy and satisfied.

We just had a great experience with Alan and his Ultimate Caterer crew. They did an extended kiddush/luncheon following our son's Bar Mitzvah and it could not have gone better. The food was excellent, the service was attentive without being intrusive, and the setup/breakdown highly efficient. The staff took great care of us, even having a glass of champagne ready for my wife and making sure I got a warm Red Velvet Cookie! Thanks so much to Alan and team!

I'm writing this review with a heavy heart as our special day was somewhat marred by the services we received from Ultimate Caterer. We all know that the food at a wedding is one of the most important aspects, creating lasting memories for both the couple and the guests. Unfortunately, our experience didn't live up to the expectations we had based on our initial discussions and tastings.First and foremost, the issue of temperature. There's nothing quite as disappointing as being served lukewarm food, especially when it's meant to be hot. Many guests pointed out that their meals arrived cold, which deeply impacted their overall dining experience.The cold food might have been forgiven if not for the cake, which was another key letdown of the evening. The cake is the centerpiece of a wedding reception, and we had high hopes for ours. However, it wasn't decorated as we had discussed and agreed upon during our consultation. We had chosen a traditional, elegant design with hand-piped lacework, but what we received was a far cry from what we had envisioned. It lacked the intricate details we had been promised, which was a significant disappointment.To this day they have not explained how the food was allowed to be served cold, including the VIP family tables!Disappointed doesn't put into words how we feel, specially with the total cost of the food......

We hired Ultimate Caterer for our wedding and could not be more pleased with the service. Alan and his team were incredibly wonderful. The food was amazing, especially our CREPE STATION which was a huge hit. Alan was also very caring and checked in on us through our our event and made sure my partner and I were well-fed. Highly recommend!

This place made my planning so easy! They all are so easy going and reassured me all was going to be fine and they'd take of everything they promised - and they sure did! They are the real deal and I am so happy I now have a new go-to catering vendor!
