Rick, Cheryl & staff are incredible!
Rick sat with my daughter, fiancé & myself to go over the many details of planning wedding reception.
They supply Everything……
linens, plates, flatware, glasses, coffee cups, food service, Bar service….
When it came to the actual reception nothing was left unattended. They choreographed the reception perfectly!
They brought 2 bars never even saw the cocktail hour bar come down it was just magically gone!
The cocktail hour / reception meal was delicious there was so much food and drink.
We were extremely impressed with this catering group and highly recommend their services. -

The team at Emily’s did a phenomenal job catering our wedding at the Hill-Stead Museum in September. Their selection of passed hors d’oeuvres for cocktail hour are incredible (so many of our guests raved about the shrimp!), and Rick, Cheryl, and Marcy were so amazing to work with. All of the food was spectacular. Definitely recommend! -

Mother Nature and Murphy showed up unexpectedly for my son and daughter-in-law's backyard wedding on May 29th - wind, rain, record cold temps, and the challenge of warming the tent for the original plan of outdoor dining. But once Emily's staff arrived, they took control of every detail, removed all our stress, and we enjoyed an intimate and magical night. From early planning to end of night wrap up, nothing but pure professionalism. Thank you to all the staff that night - the service, the food and the chef were amazing. Thank you all! I highly recommend Emily’s to anyone. -

THE BEST.
I hired Emily's catering group for my wedding on 10/17/20, and I cannot recommend them enough. Being a bride in 2020 certainly had its challenges, but thanks to Emily's Catering Group, figuring out food and beverages for my party had zero challenges at all. I give them 2 months notice to throw together the catering for my wedding (again, during COVID times), and they blew me out of the water with their professionalism, quality of their food, and just help and responsiveness in general. First of all, their food is AMAZING. Its not often that I have been to a wedding where the food was exquisite, and thanks to them the food at my wedding was. I cannot tell you how many times my guests came up to me throughout the night with compliments on how absolutely delicious everything was. Like seriously, incredible. Second of all, they were so flexible with me in regards to food options, the pace of the food coming out (I opted for a various food bars and tons of apps sprinkled throughout the night), which to many other catering companies that I spoke with provided a bit of a logistical issue. Third of all, Cheryl and Rick the owners are incredibly sweet people, and the thought of supporting a small, family-owned business was perfect and just what I was looking for during the unprecedented times in 2020. Including the owners, all of the staff were so polite and professional. Dont walk, RUN to have Emily's Catering Group cater whatever function you have in mind. I have ZERO regrets, and you won't either. PS, did I mention how good the food was?! -

I’ve been to a lot of parties, tried a lot of different catering in the area and Emilys is by far the best. I thought that planning the food for my wedding would be overwhelming but Emilys made it incredibly simple. Every time I have talked to Rick or Cheryl, I have felt at ease. Rick knew exactly what I was looking for and was able to do everything I could imagine. -

Emily's was an absolute amazing caterer. They lived through the pandemic with me, I had to move my reception 4 times. People are still calling me to ask about the food! Everything was spectacular and the staff was amazing. They were so helpful and positive. We had to change everything day of because of rain and they made my venue look better than I could have ever expected! Loved them and they now have a forever customer with me. -

Caroline A. Sent on 08/07/2019Amazing service & food. Took the stress away from planning to day off
There are so many reasons I would recommend Emily's to anyone starting their search, but below are my main reasons - it's long but they deserve the review.
THE FOOD:
When you start looking for caterers, you will notice many of them have delicious food, but the food Emily's team delivers is beyond expectations. They have the most creative pairing. Theirs are amazing - they do they adorable parings like a mini margarita served with a taco or a kielbasa with a mini Guinness. Its unique and all our guests talk about it. THEY INCLUDE A CAKE ! Huge saving for us and delicious.
SOOO EASY TO WORK WITH:
1. They respond to everything immediately. Cheryl who is the main point of contact, responds to emails, call and requests within hours of sending her a questions. Rick (the owner) is so accommodating to your vision or any questions you have - he is very easy to talk to.
2. I forgot to order table number cards and realized week of. I mentioned it to them over the phone and they just offered to help. this is the kind of service that puts your mind at ease day of.
3. I had a special request (my dad likes a certain rum; not very expensive only $30 a bottle) but I wanted to have it at our wedding for him, they went out and bought it so it could be on-site
4. We had a unique venue (we rented out a Broadway-esque theatre) and had backstage tours for guests. because of this, Rick had to move his on-site kitchen set-up a few times (this was planned but it all happened so seamlessly!)
BTW - Day of ... they had 2 serves follow me and my husband around thru out the day, they ensured we were fed and had a drink in our hand at all times. You hear you don't eat at your wedding -- we sure it did and it was delicious.
I can't say enough of how great they were to work with or how exceptional the food and service was. If you are starting or ending your search, you should absolutely consider and choose Rick and the team at Emily's -

Sherri Sent on 09/24/2018Where do I begin? Let me just say with Emily's catering you can rest assured your wedding day or party will be superlative. Our daughter got married in MA on 9/15/18. Two weeks later I am still getting emails and messages from our guests about the amazing food that was served at the affair. Artistry abounded, both culinary and visual. The cocktail hour had all guests begging for more and then when dinner was served our guests could not believe the gastronomy kept on coming. As the mother of the bride and interested cook myself, I was able to make suggestions about menu items and food preparation that were important to the bride and groom. After all, it was their wedding and the foods they loved they wanted to have mixed into Rick's otherwise, amazing menu choices. Never a no, never a hesitation, only yes that sounds great. Although the venue’s kitchen was super tiny it never made difference to Rick and his miracle team. The food abounded, and our 160 guests were lavishly waited upon with a degree of professionalism I can say without reservation compared to the best of NYC restaurants. Whenever there was a road block with my venue Rick was always there with a we can do attitude. No issue was too big, no matter to trivial for Rick and his incredible associate Cheryl, to help take me down from the cliff. So how do we love Emily's Catering, let me count the ways...

R Sent on 09/07/2018The wedding this past Sunday Labor Day weekend, was made perfect with Rick Kersner’s outstanding support and recommendations. He planned it as if for his own daughter. Not only was the food unbelievable and creative his staff was right on with smiles and great service to all. Cocktail hour was perfect and dinner of seafood and filet mignon and all the family style side dishes delicious. He recommended the florist, band, photographer and this perfect day at SouthFarm in Morris CT put our event as a lifetime over the top day! Thank you thank you Rick and Staff! *****

Kelly Sent on 10/03/2018Emily's did such an amazing job at our wedding. It's been 2 months and people are still raving about the food! We still can't believe how amazing everything was. Food was our main priority and we were impressed from the first meeting until the day of the wedding. We used them for both the bar and the food and I loved that they made sure that my husband and I always had anything we needed. The dessert bar was spectacular! I have a huge sweet tooth so I very much appreciated the amazing desserts. My husband was happy that they were able to add in his favorite dessert as well. Whenever anyone asks me about my wedding one of the first things I rave about is the food. I highly recommend Emily's catering to any couple getting married!
