Howie and his team at Exquisite Caterers did a magnificent job of catering a brunch for over 200 people at our Temple today. He exceeded our expectations! The staff was exceptional as well as the food and its presentation. There was so much food left over since Howie didn't skimp on anything. We would use Exquisite Caterers again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much Howie! read more

Fantastic food and service. We hired them for our wedding yesterday. We needed a kosher and gluten free reception and the result was a delicious choice of food, amazing presentation, and even food for us to take home for our day of packing before the honeymoon. Polite and professional service, beautiful and tasty food. Gluten free options - our experience with them was great! They also work with Krystina from Fancy Cakes bakery who provided us with a very beautiful and tasty gluten free red velvet cake. She even made it World of Warcraft themed. read more

See all

While waiting to be served we could have driven to NY, had a truly exquisite five star dinner, caught a show, gone out for drinks and been home in bed. If you're thinking of having these folks cater, warn your guests to bring snacks, drinks, survival gear and a pillow. Better yet, save yourself the time and order out. We're now two hours into dinner, the band has given up, and all we've seen is the first course. The second course seems to be appearing one plate at a time, sporadically. I'm not sure if this is the first wedding they've catered, if the kitchen at the venue is not up to par, or what...but the fact that I'm writing a review at 11pm, having waited for over an hour for my second course should warn you away from these caterers. read more

Exquisite Caterers - Wow...I got no sauce, my husband got no veggies (not sure if five green beans count as veggies). Fire your kitchen staff, pronto - Caterers Near Me - Marlboro, New Jersey

Save yourself from a migraine and DO NOT use Exquisite Catering!! There is not enough time or typing space to express in detail what a negative experience my husband and I had with Exquisite. The SparkNotes version is as follows... The owner, Howie, is a sheisty business man, period. Despite us signing a contract on an agreed upon amount per person 1 year prior to our April 2022 wedding, he tried to finagle more money out of us towards the very end so that he could make up additional costs related to inflation. We did not give in. He also requested cash only payment to be given on the day of the wedding, which, in itself is shady. The entire night, he was rude to the wait-staff (which was provided by our venue) and ill-mannered towards our magnificent Coordinator. At one point in the night, while all guests were waiting 45 minutes for meals, I personally took the liberty of approaching Howie to air my grievances. Especially being the bride, I would not normally let something like this interfere with my night, but the catering situation was that absurd and nothing like what we had signed a contract for. Howie was very defensive and told me that my expectations and timeline were unrealistic. This could not have been the case considering I got confirmation from Nicole, the coordinator we had been working with from Exquisite, that our reception timeline was perfectly fine. The food at our wedding ended up being an extreme disappointment from start to finish. He snubbed us on cocktail hour, taking the liberty of replacing a handful of picked hors d'oeuvres (our meat options) to what he felt was beneficial to his pocket (less expensive, vegetarian options). Despite the promise of a plentiful and amazing cocktail hour, the passed hors d'oeuvres were scarce and not circulated accordingly and the tables of food were embarrassingly bare. All 3 of the entree option's were less than appetizing. They were served 45 minutes later than what was planned and agreed upon. The meat came out bleeding and cold, the fish came out fishy and cold, and the butternut squash risotto came out looking and tasting like porridge. The dessert was sold to us as being an overwhelming number of chef-made sweets to be passed around the room. We only saw 1/3 of what was promised to us, dessert cookies and cakes that you could have picked up from the local grocery store. Our food tasting was amazing, so we still can't understand how the food on our wedding day could have turned out the way it did. Overall, we truly feel that because we did not give into Howie's B.S of raising our per person prices, he sabotaged the catering. Nicole Lee was the only positive part of our Exquisite Catering experience, but even she could not save the catering disaster at our wedding. Thankfully we had a magnificent venue, the most amazing bar and bartending staff (provided by the venue), a fabulously talented band, and of course, the best guests in the world!! FYI: Our venue coordinator shared with us "this is the worst caterer I've ever worked with" and "they will not be invited back here ever again" read more

I LOVE Exquisite Caterers! They catered my sister's wedding and did an absolutely AMAZING job! I don't think I could have asked for anything more! The food was incredible, the staff was friendly, helpful, and polite, they all worked with ease together doing everything that made my day seem as if it was seamless. Most importantly they were flexible and worked to fit my needs! I can't put begin to put words to how magnificent the owner Howie and his team was during the whole process. Initially, my sister was going to have her wedding at a banquet hall and use their caterers but things went awry with their caterers and we were in a real pinch . Howie and his staff jumped in and helped me to create a magical event. They helped with everything, whether it be affordable rentals or what to stock the bar with. Exquisite gave us all the tools necessary to make this event happen as we had envisioned it to look. We had the ceremony and reception in the same location so after the ceremony things had to be reset for the reception. After the guest moved to an another area of the patio for the meet and greet with the new bride and groom, Exquisite jumped into action and changed the scene of the whole space with ease! Exquisite Caterers truly is an amazing refreshing experience in terms of customer service as well. The staff was friendly, professional, and considerate to everyone there, making us all feel like we were being pampered. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to book an event. They are the best and I wil be using them again for my wedding next summer! read more

This caterer is great. We used them for our children's Bar Mitzvah, which we were quite late in planning for. Because we were so late in starting the process, I was very worried about how things would turn out. From my first discussion with Howie I realized that we were in good hands and that all would be okay. He was extremely easy to work with. In the end, our expectations were exceeded. As I look at the photos from the event, I am reminded of how beautiful the presentation was. All of the food was fabulous. And the staff were very professional. I normally find that when I am dealing a service I need to be closely monitoring things to ensure all is done right. With the staff from Exquisite I saw early on on the day that they had everything absolutely under control and they knew exactly what needed to be done to make the day go perfectly. I'm at a loss for anything to say about how it could have been better. read more

Amazing Food, Exceptional Service, Great Price Point! From cocktail hour to reception...delish!

We used to exquisite caterers for our wedding! They were extremely accommodating, the food was great, the staff was very helpful. Our event went off without a hitch! We were very happy with the venue. We will post pictures once we get them for the photographer but the cocktail room and reception room were very elegant! We had a great experience and would highly recommend them! read more

We enjoyed working with Exquisite Caterers in handling our daughters wedding. They were phenomenal with communication and service throughout the entire wedding process. There have been an overflow of compliments by our guests regarding the food and the way it was prepared. Every need was catered to, and every promise was kept. I would absolutely work with them again. read more

My first experienced with Exquisite catering when my friend got married. The catered food was well prepared, elegantly served and most importantly, it tasted great. Since then, I've been to numerous occasions, networking events and parties catered by Exquisite Catering and find them to be very consistent. There was even a dessert party that was really incredible. And, they had a variety of sweeteners for my tea at the end of the night. Great professional staff, great presentation and tasty food. Highly recommended. read more

My daughter's bat mitzvah was this past weekend and Exquiste catered the kiddush. Howie was so accommodating and easy to work with. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. In addition, the staff was so attentive and polite. Always walking around the room clearing plates and being mindful of replenishing the buffet items when necessary. I will definitely be using Exquisite Caterers again!!! read more

Howie and his team were incredibly professional, the food was incredible, and the team was timely and organized. They made my wedding so easy because we knew we could count on everything to be perfect. read more

I have know Exquisite Caterers for 10 years now. They have exceeded the quality of Kosher cuisine on all levels. Anyone planning a Bar/Bat Mitzvah or Wedding and needs Glatt or Kosher Catering should absolutely consider using Exquisite Caterers from Marlboro. They are flawless and I highly recommend them read more

This caterer is the worst most unprofessional caterer I have ever worked with. They did not deliver what they promised for the party at all. They actually dropped the engagement cake and we had no cake at all. They failed to have a sushi chef for the sushi station which was part of the contract. The food was presented very much like an amateur. They had no proper serving pieces. They used regular cookie sheets at this very fancy party. The venue was the Monaco Hotel which lied to us and told us they had used this caterer many times. In fact they never used them before my party and they had no business recommending them. The Monaco said they were a fabulous professional caterer when they are not prepared to cater even a simple luncheon. The entire party was ruined by the incompetence of this horrible caterer. I would definitely never recommend them. read more

Howie and his team just catered our wedding a few weeks ago, and everything was really terrific. We picked him largely because his prices are so reasonable (compared to the Philly market, at least), and we ended up getting tons of compliments on the food at the wedding. While we thought that the tasting was a little uneven - some dishes were really delicious, some not so much - we were able to pick a menu of the foods we really enjoyed, and all of it really exceeded our expectations. I often think wedding food is pretty awful, and with a kosher caterer and a relatively modest budget, I really never would have predicted that the roast chicken at my wedding would be some of the best I'd ever eaten - which multiple guests told me as well - in addition to the guests who insisted that the salmon was even better. Most amazingly of all, two of my vegan guests held up their wiped-clean-to-the-last-drop plates of butternut squash risotto and told me they couldn't believe how delicious it was. A reasonably priced kosher caterer who can keep vegans happy? Amazing. read more

Have been to a number of events where Exquisite has catered. I think it's one of the best Kosher caterers in NJ. Food never disappoints!

My son's Bar Mitzvah was amazing. Howie and his crew made every aspect of the weekend elegant and full of life. From the Friday night dinner serving over 100 people, to the lunch serving over 500 people, to the party the next day serving 150 people. The food was out of this world and everyone had something positive to say. My favorite was the Skirt Steak. WOW! The staff was there every step of the way, from filling water glasses, to serving on time, and cleaning up getting ready for the next step. What more can I say, except, thank you, Howie and your crew, for making it a most memorable weekend. read more

These guys are simply unbelievable. They just catered our daughter's wedding. The food was not to be believed, people are still calling and telling us it was the most delicious food they've ever had at an affair. The abundence of different dishes at the cocktail was astounding. The Sesame Tuna , the short ribs, Romainaian steak, sliders, the caviar station, sushi bar, Chinese food station-each was amazing and delicious. And the Baby lambchops-WOW! The most sumptuous piece of meat I have ever tasted-our guest were in awe. Dealing with Les and Marty is anabsolute pleasure. Thet treat you like family, their staff is friendly and efficient. They all made us so comfortable from the get go-true professionals.They knew what we wanted better than we did. And the main course was incredible. Mammoth prime ribs, soft as butter Chilaen Sea Bass, and the presentation was gorgeous.And, especially for Kosher food, their price were extremely reasonable. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. I will definitely be using them at my younger daughter's wedding as well. read more
