Avi Abikzer and David were consummate professionals with a complete attention to detail. They knew how to manage complex personalities and ultimately catered an affair with fantastic and gourmet food, served with the highest level of service. The Sephardic Temple is a gorgeous venue and I cannot even imagine getting married anywhere else. Avi is willing to consider all sorts of changes and additions and subtractions to the menu and is flexible in all ways. I would give a million stars to this place if I could. Truly my wedding was the night of a lifetime and made possible by the service and professionalism of Genadeen Caterers. THANK YOU!!!

So many guests commented on the beautiful display and creative details: an eye catching bread waterfall effect surrounded by an array of delicious dips, an artfully curated, high quality charcuterie table filled with delicious meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables. Peter Killy is a master at his craft, and puts his heart and soul into everything he does! The same love and care went into our wine tasting that would go into a much higher funded corporate event, wedding, or high profile engagement. That is why I'll be using and recommending them often and with pleasure. So grateful to find people who work with such competency, creativity, and kindness.

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 don't know who designed the cocktail lounge and ballroom at Temple Israel, but WOW! The rooms…read moreare amazing. The mixture of old world fixtures with sleek modern lines was pure elegance. It's simply the best space I've seen for a wedding. The food, though, doesn't quite live up to its surroundings. The smorgasbord was a little uneven, but there were so many choices (this was a high end wedding) I easily found a few items that pulled me back in for seconds. The main dinner started strong. The grouper cake (the kosher version of crab cakes) was quite good. It was paired with an elegant and delicious salad. It went slowly downhill from there. Eat subsequent course dropped in quality. By the time dessert rolled around, there wasn't much point to it. Granted, the white chocolate dome was beautiful to behold. But, it was all flash and no taste. I suppose some allowances must be made for the lack of dairy in all the desserts. But, come on people, it's not that hard to make a superior non-dairy vanilla ice cream. I do it all the time. (Honestly, I do.) First tip: use real vanilla. This is a high end affair, you know. The only reason to cut corners on the dessert is because you assume the guests are too wasted from 4 hours of open bar to notice. And, we have to talk about that pathetic wedding cake. First of all, it was ugly. I understood the modern design and all, but modern doesn't have to be quite so severe. I hate to tell you, but it tasted worse than it looked. One bite and I cast that cake aside with the pretty but flavorless white chocolate dome and the even blander bread pudding. So, why have I given the 3 stars considering how they botched my most favorite part of the meal? Because the ballroom and cocktail lounge are stunning. You'd be hard pressed to find a more elegant space for an event. Just make sure you get the the best booze package you can (they do make amazing martinis). You'll need it compensate for the blah desserts.
