Marylyn and her Staff are the most professional, versatile, talented event planning team we have experienced. "We reached out to Marylyn for our sons graduation party which was a unique event. With the myriad of option on the internet its hard to decipher the truly best caterers from the just average but after just one phone call we knew we had a professional reliable person in Marylyn. For us the party was an “in between”, not quite a wedding so it needed to be more intimate, personalized touch but we still needed all the services of an event planner from parking to bar tending to setup and breakdown in addition to great food. Well Marylyn and her staff did not disappoint. The one thing we appreciated the most was the versatility of the menu. We were very impressed with the choice such as the _________ and _________ which were big hits. The second most notable aspect was the professionalism and courteous nature of the entire staff. This was a large family event and it was important to us that everyone felt comfortable around her team. They fit right in, were extremely friendly, personable and down to earth while maintaining focus on their respective jobs bar tending, parking cars or cooking. We are so glad we found Marylyn and plan to book Juste Hors D'Oeuvres again for family events. Thank you so much! Tom and Amanda, Southport, CT

Just wrapped up our wedding two days ago and I am still glowing and beaming with happiness. It was such a special day, everything I imagined and better, and all of this was made possible by Marylyn and her team, who went above and beyond for my wife and I. Our venue turned out to be smaller than I thought, but that didn't stop Marylyn from doing the most. Did I mention this was a gay wedding, hosted by the brides who knew nothing of weddings? Marylyn was so respectful and catered exactly to our needs, everything from budget to schedule to even hosting responsibilities. The food was amazing (everybody raved about the duck breast that was on the menu), the setup went incredibly smooth (again, she worked with a small Brooklyn venue) and everything was beautiful. And even more the big day, she was so thorough with her communication and planning, I cannot thank Marylyn and her team enough. Thank you, thank you, if you ever have an event that needs to be catered, contact Marylyn and her team now!!!!

Marylyn and team catered our wedding and it could not have been more perfect! Everyone raved about the food specifically the beef. We didn't have an easy to please crowd, and yet everyone was absolutely blown away by it. Our entire wedding day went along seamlessly thanks to Marylyn and her staff. Marylyn was there every step of the way from our first phone call to the wedding day. She was so helpful specifically with rentals. We had a backyard wedding so we had to rent everything and Marylyn made it happen! We could not have been happier and would absolutely recommend Marylyn and Juste Hors D'Oeuvres for all your catering needs!

Marylyn, her chefs and staff enabled our first family reunion to be a resounding success! Their professionalism and attention to detail was by far the best we have had at an in home event. There wasn’t a detail overlooked or a family member not taken care of. Marylyn’s guidance on selecting a menu was spot on in every category. We look forward to working with Juste Hors D’Oeuvres in the future!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing should be customized to the clients' budget parameters. We are not an "off-the-shelf" catering company with prices for set packages. We feel that there are too many hidden costs in packages. Every proposal we make is broken down into the main components. This gives clients the ability to make financial decisions from a place of knowledge. Menus are developed in consultation with our clients. When we understand their wants and needs, we are empowered to work diligently to create a perfect and affordable event!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Personalized consultation is the key to a perfect event. By chatting with my prospects and asking some key questions, together we are able to hone in on the perfect mix of wants and needs and develop the right budget parameters. As catering pros, there are times we suggest options to our clients that they would not have thought of themselves often resulting in the saving of time and money! While we all love social media and e-mail, neither are the right way to plan a perfect event!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our Chefs, Bartenders and other Staff are highly experienced. I spent many years as a teacher then a VP in a Fortune 500 company. It is the combination of exemplary cooking and planning coupled with savvy business prowess that built this business into a thriving success. We are the pros ready to assist you at every turn!!!
