We had the pleasure of having Scott, Chef Vita, and their staff cater our wedding. They were an…read moreexcellent part of our dream team! From the beginning of the process, Scott was responsive and worked with our schedule for the tasting. We were able to make a selection from many dishes and after trying their food we were sold! Especially the NY strip steak with bleu cheese! We received so many compliments on the food and many of our guests even went to compliment the kitchen team themselves! The Balinese chicken turned out to be my favorite, but they were all amazing! They made way more than enough food for everyone and brought containers for our guest and us to take the leftovers home. We love not wasting food! With our budget, we were thinking we could only get a decent caterer, but we lucked out with LDV. They are without a doubt one of the best in the business! They catered to our needs and even made suggestions on how to reduce cost. In our case we brought our own drinks for their bartender to serve, which helped reduce cost. This turned out amazing and our bartender, Mark, helped make it a smooth and tipsy night for our guests! Last but not the least, their service was top-notch. They helped with the buffet so people there would be no crowd and made sure everyone got their food in a timely manner and even made plates for my husband and I so we didn't need to take the time! We were ecstatic with the service and it was one of the smoothest parts of the entire wedding. 5-stars all-around.

When you hire a caterer for a special event you're just taking a risk unless someone you know has…read moreworked with them before. But we didn't have that luxury. Here's why we jumped at the chance to work with Scott and team: - no problem or request was too much - every email or phone call was returned - they kept every commitment: timing, cost, and of course, the food. Now let's get to the food. Word one: abundance. So much variety, all fresh, some surprises (gourmet jerky with a perfect French mustard) perfectly displayed despite the limitations of the space. The passed hors doevres were prepared on site and were delicious, beautifully served, and ample. For reference, this was a wedding cocktail reception for 30 people, Mid day, I would absolutely hire Scott and LDV for a similar event and I would not hesitate to have a full dinner catered under his watchful eye. Note: Scott's staff were professional, poised, and friendly.

A gem of a kosher caterer. I've done two lifecycle events with the help of owner Judy Marlow, and…read moreit was a joy both times. If you are dismayed at the thought of dealing with the big kosher caterers, Judy will seem like a breath of fresh air. She runs a small shop, so your party is never treated like a forgotten cog in a giant chopped-liver factory. And your menu will not feel like something your guests have eaten a million times before. Simply Divine's food is creative, multicultural, beautifully presented, and across-the-board delicious. Working within the confines of kashrut, she comes up with menus that are modern but accessible. Judy's got tons of experience, and I always felt confident that she could handle anything. (A cocktail hour on a strange roof was no problem; a major food allergy was taken seriously; oddball props were handled with aplomb.) She's unpretentious and easy to talk to, and her staff is stellar. Simply Divine is not cheap, but I found the price to be competitive with the big boys, and a better value for the quality.

When we were looking for a caterer for our wedding in the Prospect Park Picnic House, they told us we had to use one from their list of approved caterers. We spoke to ALL of them. We ended up going with Judy Marlow and her crew at Simply Divine and they were all amazing! She recognizes great people and keeps them on her crew. Andi our event manager was on point, responsive, and wonderful!! Our chefs, bartenders, and servers knew their business and even their sanitation staff were super friendly and happy for us. (We had to run by their station a few times in the evening, to make it to the basement and they were all smiles with us!) Our top 3 reasons we went with Simply Divine (because, reality): -Price. Who are we kidding. Weddings are crazy expensive but while Simply Divine was on the higher end of the spectrum, after the initial round of queries, Judith was willing to work with us on editing the menu and to help us make the choices which helped us get to a common ground. -Plating. At the price points wedding food costs, the food is usually decent but her kitchen has delicious food and her plating is really gorgeous and different and I WANTED them so much for our wedding. -She hires nice and competent people. All the kitchen crew we interacted with during our tasting were friendly and genuinely seemed happy to see us (every other tasting we did, we maybe got to meet 1 or 2 people who barely made eye contact with us and scurried away asap to leave us with the pitch person). There is just no substitute for nice people who get the job done on the big day. Your wedding day is ridiculously stressful in ways you'd never imagine. Having everyone there on your team, trying to help you have the best day ever, and who you feel are also totally happy for stranger you and your new spouse, that is priceless. I think the only downside I experienced, which is no fault of Simply Divine but I think is something some future brides might want to know, is specific to our venue, The Picnic House combined with how Judy runs the ship. When doing a max capacity, sit down dinner in the space, they need the stage/fireplace area for kitchen set up. Throughout the entire planning process, I had imagined that the kitchen would be set up on the opposite wall (between the pillars) and that we'd have that area for the sweetheart table and later evening events. When it came down to the actual logistics planning a few weeks before the wedding, what really needed to happen became clear. I expressed my disappointment and while Judy tried to think of other ways, she explained it just wasn't possible with our size party+ dance floor. I believe with her experience she knows it would have been intolerably cramped (it was already cramped enough how it worked out because we had so many people- so also, not her fault!) if I had forced the issue. That being said, looking at my pictures with the opposite end of the Picnic House being the focal point, I am disappointed with the background of every picture on that least architecturally interesting wall at the venue (which is 70% of my reception pictures, including pictures of the cake and cake cutting) and wish I had had enough time and forewarning to make or get myself together enough to create a new rental of a backdrop or something of visual interest that wasn't a brick wall or a seam in the plaster. Even now, months after the wedding, as we go through these photos, this is the only regret/wish I had done it differently feeling I have about our wedding.

I had been following Komeeda for a while, and loved how they found great places to dine and…read moregathered great people, pushing forward a great welcoming foodie energy that made it fun & tasty to attend, whether single or with friends. The events were cool, the cooking competition events were cool, and the prices were reasonable. Plus the lead guy Jabber has such a passion and a great energy. I know it sounds like I do their marketing, lol, but nah, I just like real foodie energy. So it was great to me that they've taken one of the great chefs from the competitive events and ventured out into catering more often. I went to a tasting recently and I LOVED IT. Same foodie energy with a 'not your average chicken & beef' selection of great food. Food is tasty and easily takes into account any type of ethnicity and variety one may prefer. Kudos to them & I cant wait until I can hire or go to an event with their catered food.

Komeeda - Could Not Have Asked For Better…read more I would 100% recommend Komeeda Catering to anyone who is looking to put up an event that needs incredible food and service as well as contributing to an incredible mission. Komeeda, as a company, strives to create a multi-cultural experience tailored to the unique identities and values of who they are working with. From the very start of our experience, Jabber and Rosalee were helpful and collaborative in crafting a catering experience for our wedding that reflected the multi-cultural aspects as well as who we are as a couple. Through in-person meetings as well as over the phone, they made themselves available to us to implement adjustments to food choices as well as venue decorations we had to change in anticipation of the event. It was a feeling of relief knowing that we were in good hands from start to finish. This not only eliminated the usual worrying that comes with planning and anticipating a wedding, but also allowed us to enjoy the actual the experience of selecting food and decorations which reflected our identity as a couple. One of the highlights of the planning process was attending tasting with Chef Alex who prepared a myriad of interesting and innovative plates from both our cultures. He not only was friendly and very skilled but also took feedback in adjusting the flavor profile of dishes he was presenting. We could not have been happier and having a tasting so thoroughly thought-through gave us an accurate idea of how food would taste on the actual day (as it should!). Jabber and Rosalee were also very communicative along the way and were willing to not only accommodate our schedules but also where we would meet in the city. During the actual day of the wedding, the venue was beautifully prepared according to a "mood board" my wife and I designed for them to follow as a rough template of what we were thinking for decorative details (color scheme, table layout, etc.). They perfectly captured what we needed working with the venue owner to best accommodate the uniqueness of the space we had our reception at. As for the food, it was exquisite and people kept telling us how it was the best food they have had at a wedding as well as the friendliness of the servers. A couple of my friends also commented how incredible the bartender was and how she accommodated drink requests that were not necessarily on the menu. Everyone was amazed with the experience that Komeeda provided and their focus on details made everyone feel right at home allowing everyone to have a great time from start to finish. Jabber even remembered when we casually asked him if he could save us some hors d'oeuvres from cocktail hour as we missed it to take pictures before arriving at the reception. Guests were also pleasantly surprised when they were offered take-home boxes or another plate of food when everyone was dancing. Jabber and Rosalee took our own identities and values into account when they were able to offer compostable, bamboo kitchenware, which interested our guests and created awareness of environmental sustainability. Jabber and Rosalee are great people and great collaborators for events and we are grateful for the opportunity to have met and worked with them. They're timeliness, professionalism and passion for the company mission, created an experience that is truly unforgettable for everyone. Thank you to Jabber, Rosalee and Chef Alex for putting up an event that contributed to the wonderful memories we will have from our special day.

The initial consultation was great as Chef D is very professional and had great suggestions and open to figuring out what worked best for me. When rain threatened to crash the party and I moved the date he was also very accommodating when he didn't have to be. And then of course- there is the food: from the Mac and cheese to the infamous ribs, everything thing was perfectly cooked and delicious. My guests are still talking about the food!! He and the staff were very on point and friendly during the event. It was great to be able to host a party and actually enjoy it and mingle with the guests, which I was able to because Chef D and his staff handled everything. I highly recommend them and I will be having Chef D cater our future events!

Everything was so beautifully done and set up for the party. Every vendor that Nadia (the owner ) recommended was reasonably priced and did an amazing job. Working with Nadia was easy and she was always available to take our call or text . She was easy going and flexible. During the event not only her manger but she herself came to help and make sure everything was going accordingly. This was my husbands choice being that he is Russian. Being Italian I was nervous that the Italian and American guests would not feel comfortable or have complaints due to Italian halls and Russian halls being different. But in fact it was quite the opposite. So many people of all ages on my side actually called after the party and today as well as telling us during the party that it was the best event they had ever attended. One girl who is an event planner herself said she was booking her next party here. I can't believe I ever second guest having it here vs an Italian hall. You can't even compare. I had the most amazing night and party! Thank you Nadia !!!

The wedding chapel was filled with light on a grey day and made the ceremony all that more special. The cocktail hour was held in the arboretum, where guests can wander through deserts, tropical forests and primary woodland while munching on fantastic canapes. And the smell of fresh greenery was all around - I couldn't get enough of it. The main reception hall was like something out of a fairytale, as cheesy as that sounds. I am a sucker for all things romantic in architecture and baby, this was romantic architecture. The evening sky was lit up with hundreds of twinkle lights, the dance floor (though small) was filled with happy dancers. The food was plentiful and actually pretty tasty, not to mention impeccable service. Each table had their own designated server who coordinated special requests and made sure the guests were happy. They even had attendants in the ladies room, something I haven't come across in other wedding venues I've been to. If I were to ever get married (HA!) I would probably want to do it here. I am a fan.
