I have to give my mom and sis all the credit for hiring them, it couldn't have been any better. They also said they were an absolute pleasure to work with, showed up right on time and were super helpful w setup. The menu was very unique and differed greatly from any other catering I've had done in the Hudson Valley. I have very high standards for food, out of pure love not pretentiousness, and they really exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!

We're giving this a 3-star review because we had both the best AND worst of experiences with…read moreHarvest Real Food Catering. Chef Mark's food deserves a full 5 stars, being delicious, fresh, creative, and well executed throughout our wedding weekend at the Elm Rock Inn. However, the administrative aspects were a 1-star at best. Throughout a 6 month planning phase we experienced a number of different changes in leadership of their catering administration, and were constantly experiencing communication lapses between the powers that be regarding the details of our wedding. We were consistently given information and pricing that someone else later deemed to be incorrect, thus causing serious chaos in our budgeting and planning. There seemed to be a serious disconnect between the GM, Catering Coordinator, and Service Coordinator in communicating any requests or inquiries we had up until the very end. Thus, everyone had more headaches than necessary because things needed to be double, triple, and sometimes quadruple-confirmed. The final invoice was still incorrect the week of the wedding and needed to be adjusted. Service the day of our wedding was warm and the staff did a solid job, although it lacked a certain proactivity that made it harder for us to just relax and enjoy the party. Again, I think this was a leadership issue. Candles weren't lit until AFTER all guests were seated. We physically had to move the cake ourselves into the center of the room for the Cake Cutting Ceremony. Then no staff took it away to be sliced and served until much later, causing it to be served awkwardly while people were already dancing. The slideshow video wasn't properly set up and there was a moment of difficulty when the groom had to fix it and make it work himself. Things like this the bride and groom shouldn't have to worry about on their big day were always needing attention. On a more positive note, our actual stay at the Elm Rock Inn was amazing. The rooms and decor were beautiful and well maintained throughout our stay. Halle the Innkeeper and his brother Joe made us feel so comfortable and well taken care of. Breakfast everyday was a full gourmet experience, and it's no secret that Chef Mark was behind the scenes for every meal! Having the Elm Rock be our wedding headquarters for the weekend was convenient, fun and cozy! In summary, Chef Mark's food is the highlight of this company and should definitely be considered as some of the best in the area. His farm-to-table approach and high level of execution equates to deliciousness on the plate! However, should you decide to work with Harvest Real Food Catering for an event, I would highly recommend a patient and overly communicative style in your preparations, and definitely hiring a wedding coordinator for the final month. They are a company that is still growing and ironing out their executional kinks, and hopefully with each event they do, they improve. We had our share of difficulties with them, but also some wonderful moments and amazing food!

They let us carry our deposit into this year. I have been involved in youth hockey for 18 years. This is THE BEST banquet facility I have ever seen in our area. Our group was 65 people. The room we were in could have easily accommodated far more. The layout was perfect. Most importantly.... the food was excellent. It was served buffet style. I have come to expect mediocre fare over the years from other venues but Spruce Lodge put out a spread that had the players and parents raving. The chicken parm was delicious and moist! The Caesar salad was fresh and crisp. They had marinated vegetables on skewers that I couldn't stop eating. The steak was superb. I did not have the penne ala vodka but reports from one of our senior players, leading defenseman and known food snob (my kid) said "this is the best I have ever had. Anywhere". The staff was very nice. Special shout out to the bartender- the facility has a nice bar set up in a perfect location adjacent to the banquet area. I forgot to get her name but she was dealing with a bunch of thirsty hockey parents and high school aged boys loading up on. Shirley Temples and Coke. Friendly and fast. Again, I cannot praise the food enough. If you are looking for a banquet venue, small wedding venue, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Capt Over

The server was excellent and seemed like he was the only one serving the two sections of the place. We had one round of drinks and we usually have more, but since he was busy sitting, taking orders and bringing out the food, he was too busy to check on us and offer more drinks. He did an excellent job and we could have flagged him down, maybe it was better for us to only have one round. But he could have gotten a larger tip and the place a higher margin. Overall, we were expecting more from the food.

After reading excellent review after excellent review and a quick phone screening, we hired him for our wedding. We met in person once before the wedding to review introductions and accompanying music, our first dance (which he performed live), our musical preferences and the entire run of show. And in the final weeks leading up to the wedding, Jimmy checked in to see if we had any additional requests or thoughts. The process was seamless and it showed the day of. For instance, my mother was insistent that dinner was not a time to be dancing and guests should be able to hear each other from across the table. Mindful of this, Jimmy used the time to play non-dancing music from some of our favorite bands at a lower level than normal. Speaking with a close friend (who knows my musical preferences) after the wedding, he expressed how personal the music was throughout the night, from introductions to dinner to dancing. Success! Jimmy's enthusiasm for music is infectious and my husband and I now find ourselves brainstorming ways we could incorporate him into future events, just so we could work with him again! With that said, we highly recommend Jimmy for your own wedding!

He was very fun and excited about the ideas we had, praising us for going beyond what people had asked for in the past. We emailed back and forth some Dos and Don'ts, all of which he loved. We Skyped again before the wedding to iron things out and he played different music and genres for us and we shared specific songs we had from our own libraries. By the end of the session, we were all giddy and so excited. We knew we'd made the right choice. He showed up to the venue right on time, set everything up seamlessly while we took photos. The ceremony music got the waterworks going immediately (my wife walked to "This is Love" from Cinderella. I was a mess) and he played "Power of Love" after we were announced as a couple (which he also loved). He played film scores and soundtracks during the cocktail hour - which no less than 5 people stopped me to compliment ("Did you just have the theme from 'Jurassic Park' at your wedding?!"). He and I also arranged a surprise dance number with myself and my groomsmen for my wife during the reception. He played the theme from "Ghostbusters" at dinner and EVERYONE sang along. He played two songs I specifically requested for my in-laws and even replayed the song we danced to later in the evening because so many people asked us to do the full dance ("That's What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction from "Just Dance 4". It was awesome and it's on You Tube). He played a perfect mix of pop hits and classic rock and oldies. There wasn't a single moment when there wasn't someone on the dance floor. Grandmas and 11 year old cousins and everyone in between. It was so much fun and we got so many compliments. I couldn't recommend him enough. I want him to DJ my life.
