Tasty Creations Caterers — Attraction in New York

We can't say enough about our experience with LCI Caterers. From our first email more than a year before our wedding they were so welcoming, responsive, and warm. Susanne, who was our main contact throughout the process, is tremendously organized and communicative, and Joe and his team are experts in food and hospitality. At our tasting, Joe and Susanne gave us great suggestions to tweak our menu, and welcomed our feedback. Renting table linens and coolers for our bar through them was also a breeze, removing a layer of stress from planning. Not to mention, LCI's rates for their excellent service were more than fair, and we really appreciated their price transparency on their website.

On our wedding day, the food was just as good if not even better than at our tasting. Several guests approached us to give their compliments about the meal, and my family who works in hospitality was particularly impressed by the level of care paid to every detail, down to the sparkling clean silverware. One of the best moments for us was seeing the entree Joe made for our vegan guest, who was nearly moved to tears by how thoughtfully it was prepared!

During cocktail hour, the passed appetizers came out at a steady pace, and I'm pretty sure the last table called was up at the buffet before my wife and I even finished our plates. We spotted plenty of guests going up for seconds, too.

As for the bar, the bartender was friendly and quick, and he executed our signature drinks perfectly. On top of that, it was great to see how seamlessly the LCI team worked with our coordinator and the venue.

Great food was one of the most important aspects of the wedding for us, and LCI more than exceeded our expectations. We can't thank them enough for helping to make our...

Where do I begin?! LIC was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding this past weekend. Susanne and Joe were so helpful throughout the planning process, from our first initial conversation, to our tasting, to our wedding, and everything in between. We stayed in touch for months to ensure that everything went smoothly on the day of and that all details, small and large, were in place. We had hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour and a buffet for our reception dinner, and everything we ate was incredible. Our guests stopped us multiple times throughout the night to compliment the food, some even saying that it was the best meal they’ve ever had at a wedding. The coffee and homemade desserts were phenomenal and I wish I took more photos! The bar was impeccable as well, they were able to accommodate our drink requests to have a few of our favorite beers and Cold Brew Martinis as our signature drink, that our guests absolutely loved. The staff was super friendly and inviting, making our guests feel right at home. As the bride and groom, they always made sure we had a plate or drink in hand and didn’t even have to think about it. Their setup and breakdown was prompt and seamless, which helped us not stress over how it all came together. We would recommend LIC for all of your event catering needs and would love to work with them again in the future, or attend another wedding where they’re catering. :) Thank you again for an...

Joe and his catering services are both fantastic. LIC caterers provided the food for backyard wedding for 115 people. We went in for a food tasting on a whim, and put down a deposit 45 minutes later.

Pros: Joe is a nice guy! He is friendly and made the process fun and worry free. He was flexible with the menu items, and gave suggestions that made sense for us (rather than what would make him money). The most important part - the food was fantastic! Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. I'd say one of the most important things was his delivery team. They stayed to plate some apps for us, and set everything up during a very high stress time. They also brought some addition plates, napkins, silverware, and serving spoons that we were not expecting. Finally, the price for quality and quantity was astounding. It's really worth the money.

Cons: None that would keep me from using Joe's services in the future. But, due to his quality food he is REALLY busy and sometimes there were delays in communication. In fact, Joe is so busy he still hasn't charged me for his services a week after the event! But, I did get the sense that if I really needed to talk to him, I could find him.

Finally, if Joe's delivery guys are any indication of the quality of his waitstaff, I'd definitely hire his servers next time. We had servers from another company, and we found 4 trays of food the next morning that were never put out for...
