After which came the buffet style dinner, which was just as delicious...the flavors, colors and presentation of the food was spectacular. The wait staff, the chef, the bartender...moved seamlessly in their respective jobs - even offering the guests an immediate napkin should it have fallen. Impeccable. So much did I love everything that Dave presented that I used him a few months later to usher in the 4th of July. Again--everything seamless, smooth, elegant, professional, delicious. Thank you Dave..beyond my wildest expectations on every level. I never had to walk into my kitchen EVER...it was all about enjoying my guests. At the end of the evening my kitchen was spotless, trash removed, dishes/silverware cleaned, sorted, placed and left overs in my glass containers in the refrigerator. Top notch service like none other. Thank You Dave and your unbeatable team.

Such a gorgeous lavish display. Everything was fresh. The chips, my goodness, what a lovely crunch. Not too salty. (My husband was looking for leftover salsa the next day because it was that good). We also had him grill out at our home and very much enjoyed beef and chicken kebabs and burgers and hot dogs. Perfectly cooked! I always overcook meat on the grill, but Dave did not. His team kept everything a safe temperature as he grilled to perfection. I loved his tomato cucumber salad. I detected a hint of garlic and something else that jazzed it up, and orzo. Pilaf was also a big hit with shavings of carrot. Even his whipped cream was divine. We splurged on a bar tender, and Victor was a delight. Such a gentleman. He whipped up cocktails, mocktails and kept the bar tidy and professional. I think everyone in Pelham knows what a knockout job Dave and his staff do. We can't wait for the next time we are lucky enough to eat Dave's food.

Of course we will hire her again!

First, getting to this club was easy, about 25 mins drive from the city. Second, they have valet parking which was easy. And third the staff were very nice. I had an issue with my outfit when I arrived and the staff went above and beyond to ensure I was fitted. Then the food! Wow the food seriously was never ending. The cocktail hour had multiple food stands with cooks making noodles, tacos, searing and cutting steaks. And there were multiple open buffets. I didn't even get to eat everything as I didn't realize there were more hot buffet dishes in the other side of the room! Then, the 3 course dinner with salad, choice of steak, shrimp, chicken. I opted for the sirloin steak. Which was delicious! Then omg the desserts. This is something I've never seen, from the crepes making, s'mores cooking, fondue and a cakes table (at least 5 other cakes plus a wedding cake)! This place knows how to make a wedding grand. Highly recommend! Should've done my wedding here!

Glen Island Harbour Club has been in my periphery for a while. Geographically, it's close to a busy…read moreintersection in New Rochelle which prompted me to see its signage semi-regularly. Moreover, I've been on the grounds for outdoor events and just to enjoy nature over the years. Glen Island also has a catering and event hall, and this time around I found myself here for my brother's wedding. I've been to several catering halls in the area, so I was looking forward to seeing how Glen Island fared. Aesthetically speaking, GIHC is set up for success. Being right on the water and surrounded by greenery makes it a great backdrop for a wedding; the main reception area was surrounded by windows which gave great views. Like other event spaces, they have the capacity to hold more than one event at a time - but what I liked about GIHC is that there were separate entrances for each event space, so there was no occurrence of different parties intersecting with each other. A small thing, but really something that made a difference in terms of the general feel of the event. The interior itself has neutral, yet tasteful decor that is a good backdrop for whatever aesthetic you want. My brother and SIL brought in flowers and linens that complemented the walls/floor/carpeting really well. The cocktail hour area was spacious, and there's a decently-sized outdoor area for people to mingle. When the main reception started, the cocktail hour space was converted to areas for the photo booth, cigars, and the Viennese hour. The food was some of the better selections I've had at a wedding. The cocktail hour had a ton of different cuisines, and the desserts were outrageous - the fare at both were delicious. The reception food was the weak spot here - my steak wasn't cooked to my liking. However, the other components of the evening made up for it. I don't have many criticisms - the bridal suite was small IMO, I'm lucky I didn't have to spend a lot of time there. I also thought the ceilings in the cocktail hour area were lower than standard - that just might be how the structure was built. I also would have liked to have seen more dedicated areas for the bridal party area. I was best man, and in between photos and the event they set up a space for us in the cocktail hour area for us to hang. A dedicated room/area would have been nice here. Closing it out, I gotta give it up to the team. This was one of the smoothest weddings I've been to in terms of flow and staff. Everything was so seamless; the management we interacted with before the event were super friendly and complete professionals. Overall, I was really impressed with the wedding Glen Island put out. They made my brother and SIL's day extra special and I wouldn't hesitate to attend another event here in the future.

For our private dinner party, we requested that Chef Jaime prepare 2 options for each course which definitely added to the work involved for her. Chef Jaime was able to complete the tasks masterfully and every course was presented beautifully and was, of course, nothing short of delicious. I should add that Chef Jaime was fully prepared to provide a COVID-safe experience complete with mask, gloves, sanitizer, etc. This was a Michelin-star experience in the privacy of our home and I would not hesitate to hire Chef Jaime again for future events!

BUYER BEWARE. When…read morewe requested a proposal for a baby shower, she answered within 24 hours while other caterers took multiple days to respond. After receiving her proposal and asking routine questions about her prices and quantities, she told us she wanted to be paid in cash, changed her original payment terms to 2/3 upfront versus the 'market' 1/2 upfront, and refused to answer our questions about quantities. When we pushed back, she responded via e-mail, "After giving it some thought, I feel another caterer would be a better fit for the service and payment arrangements you're looking for, so I'll respectfully step back from your November 7 event." This is the type of behavior you expect from a fraud operator, not a private chef - I can't believe how many positive reviews she has. I would never hire her after seeing so many red flags, which is a shame because we just moved to Westchester and host a lot of private events.

Why one…read morewould one have a birthday party here- well- it is an entirely big family on both sides, and that space is needed, provided that all of them come. Anyways, This venue is very beautiful, and has a decorated lobby with the party room in front of you, a bar on the side of you, and stairs that lead to the bathroom. One can even hang their coat on the coat rack by yourself! the party room i thought was beautiful, and there was even a stage to use if one wanted. at the party, there was enough room for a bounce house for kids, and a blowup slide, plus a photo booth, and of course all the tables. We did not feel squished at all at the tables, and found the seats very comfortable. The food served was the following: appetizers that consisted of chips, pretzels, and cheese with crackers. We also had sandwiches. Oh and this don't matter as much because i liked the food that i choose, but there was no labels labeling the food at all-- like they had sandwiches, one was a turkey sandwich, and the other with ham- we didn't know what we were taking if we wanted one or the other. (or i don't but what if someone had food allergies) For entrees, there was lots of choices from chicken fingers with fries, to chicken marsala, to brocoli rabe with sausage, a penne ala vodka with sausage, plain pasta, and more! Going back to the not labels- whenever we went up to food, it felt like a guessing game of what we were eating-- in the case of the sausage with brocoli rabe,First off looked like Sausage with spinach to me, and it is not a meal that i normally take but tried it and it was good and enjoyable. The other food was enjoyable as well- such as the penne vodka, and chicken marsala. Even the dessert was good, as i enjoyed the chocolate cupcake. overall had a good time, and great time here. Oh, and eventually used the restroom a few times, and it was very clean.

We had a tough time finding where to start with this review because every element of our wedding at…read moreCV Rich Mansion surpassed our expectations. A major reason why we chose this venue was due to it's location. Our family and friends were coming from NY, NJ, PA, MA, NH, ME, and some southern/western states, so we were looking for somewhere easily accessible from all directions (with no crazy traffic like in BX/LI/NYC), near an airport, hotel, and with a lot of things to do nearby. White Plains was perfect and very charming. Our hotel, venue, restaurants, cafes, stores, mall and after party bar were all within 5-10 minutes of each other and super easy to get to. Christine was our point person from day one. Communication with her was timely and transparent throughout the entire process and her professional demeanor made our experience stress-free. As an out-of-state couple, she was super helpful providing insight, sending pictures, answering questions as they popped up, and scheduling a few visits for us before and after the wedding. She gave her honest opinion which helped us a lot when we were on the fence with a few things. Upon arrival for the rehearsal, we met with Christine and Michelle, who were a great help to us and our families - from the many questions to the many boxes of decorations we brought in ourselves, they had positive attitudes and were able to create a beautiful day for us with the help of their team at CV Rich. We really loved working with everyone there! Since we were not as familiar with the area, Christine suggested having our rehearsal dinner nearby at their sister property, Sam's of Gedney Way. This is where we had our initial tasting for the wedding menu (which was a blast) and where we ended up returning for the rehearsal dinner that was just as fun as our wedding. We had a private room on the enclosed patio, which was perfect for our group. The food was unbelievable - our guests were raving about it all weekend - and the service was amazing. We were able to meet May, head bartender for our wedding, who worked both of these events - she was phenomenal. Photos of the mansion were great - we booked this venue without even visiting - but once we were able to see it in person, it was so much better than we thought. We loved how there were so many rooms for our guests to access and the vast amount of windows that let in natural light throughout the mansion. The rooms were already so nicely decorated, we didn't need to do much to them. There was plenty of room for the items that we did display (6' seating chart mirror, photo frames, guest book, card boxes and small bud vases). The sun rooms were my favorite, and were so perfect for our portrait photos when we were unable to have them outside due to the rain. Having two separate bridal suites upstairs the whole day/night was ideal; this private area was great for getting ready (hair & makeup were done at the hotel) and storing our personal items during the event. Unfortunately, our photographers didn't capture as many photos of the venue itself, which we are very sad about, since everything looked so beautiful (I tried to include a few photos here that do show it off a bit). With rain in the forecast, we knew there was a chance we'd have to move the ceremony inside. Christine was texting with me all morning as we discussed the best possible options. We ended up having the ceremony inside, which was disappointing since we were dreaming of our ceremony in the garden for so many months, but the team made the ballroom look absolutely beautiful and comfortably fit our 155 guests. Christine and Michelle had an assortment of the cocktail hour food sent up to the bridal suite for us to enjoy alone right after our ceremony ended - that time with just the two of us (and food) was so essential, I recommend that to all future couples. The food was outstanding and our guests were blown away by our cocktail hour which included 8 passed hors d'oeuvres, three theme food stations, a full bar, and a coffee/tea/water station. The food during the reception was also phenomenal. For the first time ever, my 6'6 football player groom had no room for a second plate that was offered to him - he thoroughly enjoyed cocktail hour and dinner. Shoutout to May again who made sure we always had our water and favorite drinks replenished at our sweetheart table!Dessert was wonderful for those who weren't too busy dancing or smoking cigars. We had a coffee/cappuccino/espresso cordial bar set up off the ballroom near the exit, but unfortunately not many people knew it was there since there was so much going on in that room. There was a photo booth area, table with a live cigar roller, full bar, and cordial bar all set up in that room (also where the bathrooms were located off of). I was a little uncertain if the dance floor would be big enough for everyone (we were supposed to have 175-200 guests, ended up with 155 with last-minute declines the week of), but with t
