We had Masterpiece Catering provide our food at a workplace event in Manhattan's Financial District. We were very pleased with the experience! Masterpiece provided us a good variety of bagels and muffins to start off our day. The food was all fresh tasting, plus we had plenty of options! This made breakfast a great grab and go option before meeting. I ended up having a plain bagel with cream cheese. Lunch was also well done and super convenient! They served sandwiches and wraps along with bagged chips and cookies, and it was delicious! This catering style options worked really well for our group setting. The sandwiches were fresh, the portions were good, and the cookies were definitely soft and scrumptious! My favorite options was the roast beef wrap! The organization of the setup was quick, efficient, and it was ready to go when we needed it. Since we were planning multiple back to back meetings throughout the day this was huge help! I think Masterpiece Caterers was amazing! They delivered high quality food and amazing service!. Everything went smoothly as well! read more

I highly recommend Masterpiece Caterers. They catered a recent event of mine at Glasshouse Chelsea and everything was done perfectly. The food and bar were set up well in advance (so no rushing!) with a lovely presentation, the food was delicious, the staff was warm and professional and they were absolutely a pleasure to work with! read more

This is is not about India House. It is for their restaurant at Battery Park. Battery view. We talked to Alec to preorder dinner based on their online menu for our small wedding for 10 people on Friday March 24, 203. He was very kind and helpful. We all were surprised how good the food was. 5 stars for the food. We preordered meat, fish chicken and vegetarian and asked each guest to chose one. We had the NY sirloin, the salmon, the roasted chicken and the grains bowl. Every dish was praised by guests. We also ordered the cesar kale salad for the whole group and it was a great salad. Beverages were also excellent. 4 bottles of excellent red, white wine that we chose from their menu and Prosecco For the toast. They also plated our cake. Their service was phenomenal. Our bill including service and taxes was extremely reasonable and within a modest budget. In fact I do not think we could have done any better that this in any other restaurant in NY. The view. The service. The location. The gourmet food. The great wine. I would go back to the restaurant to try everything else in their menu either with my family or any other event. read more

"It's like being inside a champagne flute!" That is a quote from one of our guests at our wedding a year ago. Our memories of that day are still as clear as they could be. Kevin Mattner was our contact and he guided us through the entire process, carefully articulating our options as we began planning and through to the end as he was there to guide me the way to walk down the aisle. We couldn't be happier with India House and Masterpiece Caterers and we want everyone to get married there! Kevin and his staff made sure that we were attended to in every respect. I had done my own centerpieces and they arranged them beautifully in the room, on the tables and fireplace mantle, along with wedding photographs of our parents and grandparents that they artfully displayed. And speaking of fireplaces, Kevin had told us that if the temperature was right, that they would light fires in both the ceremony and reception spaces (at no extra cost), something that I thought would lend a lovely coziness to the event. We got lucky, and on October 9 the temps dipped into the 50s so we had a lovely fire during our ceremony in the Red Room and also a floor above for our reception. There was nothing quite like hearing the sparks of the burning logs while we recited our vows. We decided to do food stations for dinner, rather than asking our guests to sit down for a meal. Everyone loved the fried chicken and waffles, mac and cheese, suckling pig and other delectable foods to choose from. Kevin made it a point that no one would go hungry and even supplemented our wedding cake with additional scrumptious desserts. As a New Yorker bride on a budget, I didn't think I could ever afford such extravagance, but Kevin worked within our constraints and the results were perfection. After our ceremony Kevin led us to a beautiful, private spot along the East River where our photographer took some amazing shots of us with a pink sky and Manhattan bridges in the background. If you love old New York, simply take a walk around India House and Stone Street to soak in that atmosphere of history, original architecture and cobble stoned streets. We have so many wonderful photos taken outdoors, as well as inside the beautiful stairwells and rooms of India House. Just writing this makes me wish I had a time machine to relive the day. Our advice to all New York City brides and grooms - get married at India House! read more

Had an office lunch outing here. It has that historical feel to it and is very quiet. We were escorted to a huge dining room prepared just for our group of 20. The menu was quite simple with few choices to make. Food was alright but definitely not worth the most likely outrageous prices negotiated beforehand. I had the red snapper and it came with some potatoes and veggies, but the portion was small. I'm not a fan of paying for over the top ambience with average food. Just hits too hard in the pretentious territory. I heard you actually need a membership to eat here. Wouldn't come back here for a meal and probably wouldn't have had the chance to if it wasn't for the company outing. read more

A hidden gem on Hanover and Stone St. The Blue bar is totally lovely to have an early evening drink. The bartender was friendly and polite and invited us to try a special fig vodka. He also told us the history of the building from its days as the hub of maritime trade downtown. The ambiance is cozy with classic, nautical country club decor and beautiful model ships and chandeliers. Looking forward to seeing it decorated for the holidays! read more

Came here for a private party a few years ago, and the place was incredibly elegant and fun. They have several classy rooms to mingle in and a nice banquet hall. Everything about it is elegant without being stuffy. The historical value is pretty good too and it's nice to see the nautical influences. This was most likely a 1%'ers club back in the day (rich old white men), but nowadays it doesn't seem too snobby and everyone was nice to our group of young South Asians. I don't know how much it costs to rent out the place, but it would probably be good for a wedding or reception or something like a 50th wedding anniversary party. The only drawback may be that it can be hard to find and it's more formal that you may want, but again, good place for a reception or special event for an older crowd. read more

Something about this regal brownstone mansion harks to my memory of Boston's Post Office Square. Maybe it's the architecture or the green oasis meant for frolicking in the middle of the FIDI. I stumbled in post hike to catch an early supper before a GMAT class. To my surprise, this building is not a hotel or restaurant but a private club for high profile Wall Street firms. Dressed in muddy hiking boots and a backpack, I was not the typical suit but somehow I was invited to dine in the corner bar. Although there was a Deustch Bank reception, the bartender and GM were gracious and granted me a private tour of the building and a glass of champagne. Definitely worth checking out if you need a stiff drink before commuting back home. read more

My husband and I worked with Kevin Mattner on our wedding in May 2015 at Morningside Castle. Kevin was incredibly professional and responsive to our requests throughout the process. They even cooked up, plated, and served a special dessert that we supplied at no extra cost. Also, when we had family visiting before the wedding, they sent someone with very little notice to show the venue to them. The entire event turned out beautifully and all the guests we spoke to were highly complimentary of Kevin and his team. It was clear to us that Kevin holds himself to very high standards. Because my father spent most of the dinner socializing and left his food unattended, Kevin replaced his steak three times so that he would have hot food in the event he actually sat down to eat. We would highly recommend Masterpiece Caterers for any event and especially for weddings at Morningside Castle, which is a beautiful below-the-radar location. read more

We chose India House for our wedding ceremony and reception on 8/7/16. I will be forever glad that we decided to host our wedding there. When we started searching for a summer 2016 wedding venue, we spent hours doing careful research. In the end, we discovered India House by chance and I like to think it was serendipity at work: I had a prohibitive work schedule, so my husband and mom were tasked with visiting venues. One day, after viewing several duds, my husband called Morningside Castle in a last ditch effort to see one last venue for the day. He was informed that the Castle doesn't host summer weddings, but their sister venue, India House, does. They jumped on the opportunity and traipsed over. They were immediately enamored. After hearing their effusive endorsements, I quickly made an appointment to see this magical place myself. The first time I laid eyes upon the mansion's character-filled majesty, I was sold. We were further enticed by the staff's superior customer service (e.g., we were served food and beverage at the Blue Bar after our tour). The icing on the cake (literally): India House would take care of all the catering and we wouldn't have to rent anything (e.g., linens, utensils, etc.). From the contract signing to the day of the wedding, we worked with Arlinda. She was responsive and worked with us on every wedding day detail. The biggest wedding planning highlight was the food tasting. Arlinda graciously allowed my parents to join and it was a delightful evening of palate pampering. The quality and presentation of the food was impressive and the bartender worked with us until he got our signature drink just right. Also, a few weeks before the wedding, with Arlinda's help, we were also able to figure out the perfect spot in India House for the first look photos. That was huge relief! Fast forward to our rehearsal, which went swimmingly: Arlinda and her team had refreshments waiting for us! And they were patient with us, making sure that everyone was comfortable with the ceremony proceedings. Our wedding day was stunningly sunny so we were able to get photos in Hanover Square, along the waterfront, and on quaint Stone Street. Because we had approx. 200 guests, we had the whole mansion to ourselves. I particularly loved that the events of the evening took place on different floors. It could have been mayhem, but Arlinda and her team guided the evening along and made sure everyone knew where they needed to be and that they were well attended to. Overall, the day was peppered with thoughtful touches: Whatever we needed (a steamer, Krazy glue, drink refills, etc.) was quickly addressed; our bride and groom suites were stocked with breakfast and lunch while we got ready; right after our ceremony, Arlinda and her team had an assortment of hors d'oeuvres and prosecco awaiting us in a private room so that we could regroup before joining our guests for the cocktail hour. Final thoughts: We didn't have an outdoor wedding, but we were able to have a change of scenery throughout the night. Our guests were blown away by the venue and the food. We left for our honeymoon feeling like we had the perfect evening to celebrate such a momentous day. Thank you so much to Arlinda and the entire India House team! read more

I cannot say enough glowing things about Kevin Mattner and his team at India House. They go out of their way to be friendly and accommodating, and are all extremely professional. My husband and I are still in total awe over how absolutely perfect our wedding was. It beat all of out expectations, and that is largely thanks to Kevin and his team. They really do go out of their way to make your wedding everything you want it to be and more. I recommend this venue with zero hesitation. It is a complete gem in Lower Manhattan - especially if you're planning on a fall or winter wedding (that's when India House shines the most, in my opinion). You can't do better than India House in NYC! read more

DO NOT HIRE MASTERPIECE FOR YOUR EVENT. They provided scalding coffee, warm white wine, and cold "hot sandwiches" for twice what they are worth. The staff was rude and the manager was incompetent. No coffee sleeves for the scalding coffee for two days in NYC where you can get anything you need. Supplies constantly running out and not refilled. I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. Do yourself a favor and hire someone else for your event read more

I had my wedding at India House on May 25th, 2013. I worked with Jessica for some last minute planning and details. She was very patient, friendly and informative and helped us through every aspect of the night. She contacted our vendors and worked with them directly. We were feeling very comfortable that the night would be a success. On the day of the wedding, we showed up about an hour early and took some photos. Then we did a quick rehearsal - which Jessica took notes on. Then we went upstairs to a room that they arranged for us so that we could hide from the arriving guests. There were refreshments and a useful bottle of champagne! During the procession, Jessica was there directing everyone and kept everything in order. The rest of the night was more than what we could have hoped for. After the ceremony, everyone left the ceremony room (Hanover Room) which was then flipped over to the reception room. The cocktail hour food and drinks were great - and the Blue Bar was gorgeous. The staff got everyone seated for the ceremony and when we walked in, the room looked exactly as we imagined. On top of the excellent service, the food was really delicious. We had the filet and the salmon as options and both of our plates were clean when we were done. What more could you want for your wedding besides a gorgeous venue, terrific service and communication, delicious food and all set in the romantic and elegant India House. I couldn't recommend this venue more enthusiastically. We wouldn't have changed a thing. read more

I got married this weekend at India House-- what an amazing experience! Throughout the entire planning process and til the end of our after party at 2am, India House staff provided exceptional service. Food quality is really important to both my family and my husband's family-- and you will eat nothing but the best at India House! We got rave reviews from our family and friends about the food selections all night, and even in emails after the wedding was over! The location is gorgeous-- we used the entire venue and had a progressive event with the ceremony on the first floor, cocktail hour on the second floor, reception on the third floor and after party back on the first floor. People loved moving through the old mansion and seeing the beautiful artwork on the walls throughout the night. The entire staff at India House is so warm, inviting and attentive, and we could not have pulled off such a seamless and amazing wedding without the support of Arlinda, our Catering Manager and Jonathan, our Operations Manager. They went above and beyond to make sure all of our requests were incorporated into the event and that all of our guests-- from our parents to our friends to our little flower girls, had a blast! A wedding at India House is an experience of a lifetime - I highly recommend the venue - you are in great hands! read more

I really like the setup to this place and the decor - very British. Came here for an event held by a South Asian professional organization. Though I do wish there were more bathrooms on the floors as opposed to in the hallway. read more

The space was beautiful with a great location. I am not a fan of banquet, cookie cutter wedding halls so I was thankful that this venue is decorated with authentic, historic pieces. The staff was extremely professional and accommodating to meet my needs and the needs of my guests. The food was delicious and I loved that they get their cakes from Financier Bakeries. To top it off, being located right next to Stone street gave us so many options for an after-party. Overall, my husband and I had an awesome time and everything went perfectly. It was everything I could ask for in a wedding experience. read more

My new husband and I had our wedding reception here on 6/6/15. Everything went so smoothly and everyone had such a great time (us included!). We couldn't be happier that our first venue fell through which led us to India House and Jessica Oliva who was our saving grace. She really made things easy on us. The cake was even part of the package which took one more thing we had to do off our to-do lists. This is a full-service deal so I was very happy not to have to worry about the set up on the day of. The spaces were beautiful and the entire place, so clean and well-kept. We had our cocktail hour in the Hanover Room and the reception in the Marine Ballroom. Both set ups were fantastic as was the food. They really did a wonderful job. Thanks to the entire staff for making our day that much more wonderful :-) We highly recommend this venue! read more

Enough cannot be said about what a wonderful wedding Stef and Ernest had at the India House this past weekend (February 16, 2019). The India House/One Hanover Square looked beautiful, the food was scrumptious, the staff polite and professional and attention to details impeccable. We have received nothing but accolades from our many guests as well. I know I speak for all us in saying that It was a pleasure to working with Kevin throughout the past year and accommodating our every need. Everything was perfect, even the February weather, and it was an evening none of us will ever forget. Best regards, Ken and Susan read more

I recently was married to Michele on October the 4th, 2014 at Riverside Church in New York City. This day was the most amazing day that I have ever been a part of, and both Michele and I agree that it was truly magical on so many fronts. When we started planning our wedding a year ago, we were faced with several issues that we needed to solve. We were from Canada, and being married in NYC would create a need to retain and contract reliable, trustworthy and excellent vendors only. There would be no room for error, and we needed to ensure that the job(s) would be complete with the least amount of stress and error. We wanted a beautiful upscale and modern wedding for 40-50 important guests who would be travelling / flying from all over. We wanted an impressive venue, a meal that would impress any foodie, and service that would leave guests feeling pampered. Fast forward to the day after our event, and all I can remember hearing from so many of our guests - was comment after comment about how amazing the food was, how much guests adored the meal selection (we had decided upon an upscale tappas style menu with food on the tables, as well as stations) and so many compliments on the staff. In my writing of this review I will attempt to address the quality of our correspondence, the outstanding delivery of our contract, the deliverables and the end product. Michele and I began dealing with India House / Masterpiece Caterers through their relationship with our vendor. We were immediately impressed with the professional correspondence they had with us. We were able to develop what would later turn out to be beautiful menu through the recommendations of Kevin and his staff. They highly suggested coming to NYC to meet and to test the food in advance of the event. The tasting date which we did end up doing, quickly became one of the most important things we did, and really was an opportunity for us to see that we were dealing with a highly professional caterer, who had a high bar set in service and food delivery. Kevin sat with us for several hours as we ran through the menu, tasted a range of excellent food. He was extremely professional and took notes the entire time. He noted our preferences, asked great questions so that he better understood our needs, and really created an atmosphere that helped make us know that we could depend on the outcome that we were hoping. I could tell the wait staff were the best in their game, and it was an impressive day. Throughout the process Kevin acted as a co-ordinator of sorts, often making suggestions to us that would benefit our day, but may have been not expected from a catering manager. We were forever grateful of his high level of knowledge and his desire to see us have not just a successful outcome - but an over the top experience. The several times that we went back to Kevin on any small issues or question, he consistently came back with an answer that helped us in having a great day. Despite knowing that he / they are running a business - I always felt that the most important driver to anything that they did - was always to ensure that we were pleased. I never felt that we came second to anything. The night was an overwhelming success and the food was amazing. Our magical day was over the top and went smoothly because important contracts like this went exactly as we had needed and asked. I highly recommend Kevin and the staff at India House and Masterpiece Caterers. Shawn Todd read more

My husband and I got married in August 2014 and chose to have our reception at India House. It was the best decision we could've made. The value of what we got far exceeded what we paid. I never thought we would've been able to afford the beautiful wedding that we ended up having. The staff at India House was friendly and professional. Jessica Oliva was the event manager who helped us plan the event from beginning to end. And she was a pro. She offered advice when we needed it and managed the entire process. I didn't have a wedding planner, but I didn't need one because Jessica took care of everything. She was incredibly easy to work with. We heard from many of our guests, who had nothing but great things to say about the food and location. We chose to serve the pork tenderloin medallions and chicken breast. The chef was nice enough to make a special olive oil-based sauce for the chicken that wasn't on the menu (we wanted something lighter than the cream-based sauce, since it was the middle of summer). The vegetarian option was lasagna, which our guests told us was perfectly al dente. Even the cake, which was made by Financier around the corner, was delicious. We chose the chocolate cake with raspberry preserves. The India House is a beautiful building with a rich history. There's a very old-world New York feel to it. It was recently renovated, after Hurricane Sandy, and is truly a wonderful location for any event. If you're looking for a classy space and professional service, India House will not disappoint. read more

The India House Club is truly a hidden gem! My husband and I recently held our wedding reception there and could not be more pleased with the service, food, ambiance and value. Jessica Oliva and the staff at Masterpiece Caterers were incredibly responsive, helpful and professional. Hats off the Chef Patrick Augustyn for an incredible meal that all our guests raved about! If you are searching for a unique, elegant and historic venue for your wedding or other special event, I highly recommend Masterpiece Caterers at the India House Club! read more

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Masterpiece Caterers at India House! We held our wedding reception there two weeks ago, and the staff and facilities were incredible from the beginning of the process to the end. Leading up to the event, our coordinator Jessica was helpful, friendly, and responsive to questions and requests. She worked with us and our vendors to ensure that we had everything we needed, and arranged meetings whenever I requested them so we could visit the space and discuss plans. On the day of the event, Katherine and Alanna, who coordinated at the reception, and their team were extremely attentive and helpful, both to my husband and me and to all our guests. They made everything seem effortless and were always right there when anything was needed. We were allowed to begin dropping off reception items (decor, favors, etc.) five days beforehand. Of course, we ran late and brought everything to India House the morning of the event, but the staff was very kind and did not object to our last minute drop-offs at all and they set up everything beautifully. Masterpiece Caterers' chefs are incredible. My husband and I refer to our tasting as "the best lunch date ever," because it was so much fun and so delicious. The tasting courses were all so good, it was very difficult to pick which ones we wanted to serve at the reception! The caterer was able to accommodate vegetarian and vegan guests and guests with food allergies with special meals, and the bartenders had no trouble whipping up our signature cocktails. The cake, which was provided by Financier Patisserie as part of the contract with Masterpiece Caterers, was amazing (all three cakes we opted to try were excellent, but the French strawberry shortcake custard cake we decided on was magnificent). Not only delicious, it was also lovely, with sugar flowers in our wedding colors on each tier (I had been unsure whether cake decorations would cost extra, but was thrilled to learn that they were included in the price!). In addition to Masterpiece Caterers' great staff and contractors, India House itself is beautiful. The architecture is classic, with clean lines and high ceilings, not cluttered up by too much decoration. We did not need to bring in outside lighting, because the Marine Ballroom can be subtly lit in various colors (we chose a golden glow to offset the candles in our centerpiece arrangements, and it looked very natural and warm). The building has also been recently renovated, and is in better shape than some other spaces we considered. There is also an elevator, which was helpful both for our vendors and for less mobile guests, as well as restrooms on every floor (some spaces we saw didn't have them so well distributed). We held our cocktail hour in the red room on the first floor, then brought everyone upstairs to the third floor for the reception. This gave our vendors time to put finishing touches on the ballroom even while our cocktail hour was starting downstairs, which took the pressure off them. All in all, it was a perfect night, due to the hard work of the staff of Masterpiece Caterers and India House! Thank you, we can't recommend you enough! read more

India House has been restored with loving care under it's new management team. It is truly a treasure to rediscover. The venue still has a museum like feeling and is a most lovely historical building filled with the charm and elegance of old New York. India House is perfect for corporate meetings,dinners ,conferences, holiday parties and socials. Truly a Brides dream come true. The experienced event staff is a pleasure to work with. They understand your goals and cover all of the little details that need to fall in place. The new chef created an exciting menu that is seasonal, offering fresh, local, delicious and beautifully presented plates with a notable wine list and specialty drink menu as well. The service is warm and professional. The long over due transformation of India House has at last come into being. Go see for yourself. Nancy Eller Eller Events read more

I would highly recommend India House/Masterpiece Caterers to anyone looking for a space to hold their wedding or large event. We held our wedding reception there on August 9, 2014. The venue my husband and I had chosen for our wedding reception, reBar in Dumbo, NY, abruptly shut down 3 months before our wedding when the owner ran off with all of the money (he has since been found guilty of tax fraud and sentenced to time in jail). We had almost finished paying for our wedding, and now three months before it was due to take place we were starting from scratch. Over 100 other couples were similarly affected. Once the news of reBar's shut down hit the newswires, Masterpiece tweeted that they wanted to help those couples affected. Once I met with Jessica at India House, I knew this was where I wanted the wedding reception to take place, now that we could no longer have it at reBar. First, the location is absolutely gorgeous and the rooms are beautifully decorated. Second, the staff, in particular Jessica, were so helpful and accommodating. They invited us to do a tasting, and the executive chef sat down with us and discussed the food options and alcohol options. They provided an amazing range of choices for food - we did a buffet meal. They also provided a champagne reception with finger food. Every time I contacted Jessica, whether it was to inquire about the vases they were lending us for the centerpieces, the number of tea lights, or the choices for the buffet meal she was wonderfully responsive, which we really appreciated. They also met with our DJ and handled obtaining the insurance certificates, which meant it was one less thing I had to worry about. Moreover, the day before the wedding Jessica accommodated me, my mother and three other friends at India House so we could make the centerpieces with vases that the venue lent us for the night - which were clean and ready to use. I could not have asked for more. Then day of the wedding Jessica and the General Manager, Kevin, made sure everything ran smoothly. The staff had set up the tables, with our centerpieces, and the name cards for us, so all we had to do was have fun with our guests. Since the wedding, we have had so many guests compliment us on the venue and the tastiness of the food. We had an absolutely wonderful evening, and a very special day, thanks in large part to the efforts of Masterpiece and India House. read more

Perfection! My husband and I just had our wedding here last month. I've been an event planner in NYC for ten years and my standards were tough to match. India House and the Masterpiece Caterers team surpassed my expectations. The food was outstanding, we hosted 156 guests and all fit very comfortably in one room for the reception with an 8 piece band (which is hard to find in NYC). The décor and vibe of the building is very old New York but Master Piece has kept it fresh and updated without losing any of its authentic integrity. We had the pleasure of working with Kevin the GM, who's taste level is unrivaled. He was always available to us, even months out and no matter what was willing to wok with us to make every last dream come true. Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say and we could not be happier. Highly recommend! read more

Just attended a Holiday Party and absolutely loved the place. The food however was terrible almost inedible. They are completely short staffed moving around waiters and bartenders from other events going on in the building. The manager or maitre'd did not even come around checking to see if everything is going alright. Horrible service. Stay Away read more

I was a wedding planner turned bride in 2016 and knew the only place where I would be in fully trusted hands was at India House with Masterpiece Caterers. I've worked with them before as a planner bringing other clients of mine to them and have always had a really wonderful experience. I have a great relationship with both Kevin and Gieto and knew that they would take very good care of my fiance and I for our wedding day. Well everything WAS beyond perfection from the ceremony to the cocktail style reception. Being a control freak I wanted to see the reception room before the guests did so we arrived a bit early, right after our first look, and with just one glance at the room I was brought to tears. Everything I had planned looked beyond what I'd imagined and Kevin had been there for me every single step of the way taking care of it all! One of the things we were complimented on the most was the food - our family and friends STILL talk about it! I have to say that Kevin is truly the best there is, he is a true professional who is passionate about what he does and will deliver nothing but the best and more! The whole team really outdid themselves and we couldn't have been any happier with things! Thank you Masterpiece Catering for the most perfect wedding day!!! read more

Kevin and his team catered our wedding on 12/5/14. They were truly excellent. They food was delicious and affordable, and they were flexible with the menu. The service was fantastic, and I did not have to worry about a single thing on the day of my wedding because of the excellent event management. They really cinched my dream wedding. Highly recommend read more

We gave a wedding for our daughter at India House on January 3, 2015. The location is beautiful. The venue itself is classy and elegant - not at all like a catering hall - very old-style New York, and beautifully maintained. The food was delicious, plentiful, and nicely presented. The service was terrific - from the catering manager, to the maitre d's (there were two), to the waitstaff. They were all very friendly, hardworking and accommodating. I recommend Masterpiece Catering / India House very highly. read more

They were very gracious with offering us a GREAT negotiated rate for a wedding - all in at $195/person (including food, cake, alcohol, tax, administration, etc.) with a minimum of only 85 people for a Saturday March 2017 wedding on the more desirable top floor (typically a min of 100)! We ended up using a different place for our wedding but this is a good option for a negotiable wedding venue. read more

We hosted a Holiday dinner at India House Club in December 2012. Not only were they easy to work with, they were friendly and courteous. Very responsive to all my questions and emails, as I was planning this event from Philadelphia. I thought the food was good and the service was very attentive. We all loved the decor, which is very much an old school private club feel. I also felt the prices were very reasonable when you consider the location. I highly recommend India House Club. We look forward to returning in 2013. read more

Professional, elegant, fantastic!!! My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Kevin of Masterpiece Caterers and he helped us put together the perfect private roof top wedding reception. Service, food, persona, etc, everything came together perfect for us. They go above and beyond and you will not be disappointed by any aspect of their services. read more

My wedding was last week and I had my ceremony at the India House. Literally could not be more thrilled! To put this in context - I was one of the brides impacted by reBar closing. For those of you who do not know, hundreds of brides were left stranded by this venue that closed down last minute and the owner ran off with our money!! This happened exactly one month before my wedding so needless to say it was an extremely stressful time. Then stepped in Jessica Oliva, catering manager for the India House. Cue birds singing. This wonderful venue stepped in during what was a crisis for many brides and offered to help. Jessica literally saved me. If it wasn't for her and her staff, I don't know what I would have done.... I was so so so so stressed out because of what happened, obviously, and Jessica made me feel so at ease and truly took care of everything. After the big day, our guests couldn't stop saying that it was a blessing in disguise because the India House created more beautiful of a wedding than I would have had anywhere else. Also, it has an old world New Yorky feel and is right next to Stone Street, which is perfect for pictures. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the India House for making my wedding truly be the happiest memory I have ever had. read more

From the minute I spoke to Kevin Mattner at MPC, I knew that I was dealing with a professional with a high degree of integrity. My wedding was at The Riverside Church and MPC was the assigned catering company. Every interaction with Kevin was a true display of his work ethic and his commitment to providing quality service. He responded to every e-mail and answered every phone call. And those things matter to me! I always felt like a priority. I told him that even if we (bride + groom) for some reason did not show up, I was not worried about the reception because he was in charge and the guests would be in good hands. The wedding reception was a complete success! Kevin brought class and elegance to the moment. He was putting on my hubby's suit jacket, even when I had forgotten that it should be on for the cake-cutting part of the ceremony. He was there and present to the wants/needs of the event. And a month later, I am still getting compliments on the food and the service. My biggest fear was that the food would be mediocre; cooking for 117 vs cooking for 2 is not the same thing. However, MPC did a fantastic job. Even the typical complainers in my family said that everything was great from the hors d'oeuvres to the staff folding the guest's napkins when they stepped away from the table. My only regret was not being present to my own plate. I was overwhelmed by the guests in the room that I forgot to try the lobster bisque amuse-bouche. I value great service and I would highly recommend Kevin + MPC for catering jobs. This was one of the times where I really felt taken care of from beginning to end. read more

We had our wedding at India House 3 weeks ago. I can't say enough good things about the venue and service. The food was delicious, the decor is elegant but cozy and the service was beyond what I could have asked for. Arlinda and her entire staff went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. They decorated the tables and chairs with all the supplies I dropped off to them . Although they supply everything you need , I wanted to add personal touches with decor I purchased and made. They displayed everything so beautifully that I cried when I walked into the room. Arlinda and her staff were on top of their game in making sure everything went smoothly and always asking if we needed anything. The service was excellent. Everyone of my guests said they loved the place , the food was delicious and service was excellent and they had a really good time. This place is a hidden gem in NYC . They even supply the wedding cake and i honestly thought it was the best wedding cake I ever had. Any couple that chooses this venue for their wedding will not be disappointed. Thank you all for making our day so special and for everyone's hard work and attention to every detail that made our wedding so memorable. The staff here takes great pride in a job well done and to all of you ....... job well done ! read more

We used Masterpiece Caterers for our daughter's wedding at Riverside Church. Our experience was incredible from start to finish! We began by meeting our contact person, Kevin Mattner, at an open house at Riverside. He was extremely knowledgeable about the venue and there was food for us to taste at the event. We were sold! After booking, Kevin's responsiveness to emails and phone calls was unsurpassed, which is extremely comforting and important when planning a big event. When the time came, we scheduled the tasting, which ended up being like having a meal in one of NY's finest restaurants. We were able to meet the chef and were just given such a good feeling about everything. Not only did Kevin assist us with food, but was very accommodating in supplying us with different choices in linens and table settings so that our event looked exactly as we had imagined. At the wedding, there was so much food and everything was so delicious. I was wondering if the food would taste the same when prepared for hundreds of people as it did at the tasting and it did! Our guests were so impressed and commented several times on what a rare occurrence it is to have both a beautiful venue and fantastic food! What was really great about Masterpiece was the ability to construct a per person price that fit into our budget. You can include as much or as little as your budget allows, while still feeling confident that whatever you have chosen will be delicious and impressive. Needless to say, I would highly recommend Masterpiece! read more

My husband and I got married on June 28, 2014 at The Riverside Church in Manhattan. Masterpiece caterers provided all catering for our wedding. To say that our expectations were exceeded would be an understatement. Though my husband knew we would be in good hands with masterpiece caterers from our very first meeting with them, we were both truly awed at how amazing they really were. From day one, Kevin and Leigh were easy going, welcoming, and so truly accommodating. There wasn't a thing we couldn't ask for without being granted it. My husband even joked with Kevin and asked if we could just have the wedding for free, because that's how accommodating they were! Our wedding was flawless from start to finish, all in thanks to masterpiece caterers. The service was impeccable. The food was outrageous. The staff was professional, courteous, and serviced each and every need of all our guests. I am now married for almost 7 months and STILL to this very day, our guests are talking about our wedding. We get compliments every time we see friends, family, and colleagues. My husband often speaks about our next big (not nearly as big as our wedding, please) event & it is a complete understanding in our house that we will be booking with masterpiece caterers! Also, though we didn't get married at India House, we did have our food tasting there for our wedding. The ambiance is gorgeous and the place feels so warm and friendly. The staff there was equally as friendly and accommodating and hats off to the chef!! He came up to introduce himself during our tasting & not only was the food mouth-watering but he was outrageous friendly as well! Thank you thank you to Masterpiece Caterers for making our wedding a night we will forever remember!! read more
