If I could choose all 5 characteristics above, I would. Gotta Have It Catering (GHI)… You REALLY (just) GOTTA HAVE IT! Seriously! My husband and I just used GHI as our caterer since we had my Retirement Party and our SURPRISE wedding at Journeyman’s Hall (JMH) which are both owned by Vince Marra. The service that Vince and his staff provided (especially Susan) was always top notch. We planned our #RetireWedding from September 2025 (when I retired) to February 2026 (which was when we had the event). When we first booked, Vince was very accommodating (because we actually changed the month of the event from November 2025 to February 28th, 2026) after we realized we needed more time to plan - once we saw the venue and all that Vince and his team had to offer. Susan Bloom was the one who saw the entire event through (after Vince booked us). She was always so nice, attentive, and very thorough as it related to keeping up with notes for our very extraordinary event. Both Vince and Susan thought our idea of surprising our guests was a great idea and they were totally committed to executing the mission with us! From the venue, to the fabulous Cocktail Hour & “Grazing Stations” menus curated by Vince, to the black velvet curtains that allowed us to keep the “Grounded Altar” hidden until it was time to get married, to the fun bartender, and all of the other staff (including Marisol) who helped to ensure that our RetireWedding went off without a hitch…Feel rest assured that JMH is totally the place to consider if you want a beautiful, on trend, city chic, large/character rich venue with an industrial aesthetic, for your next event! The venue is also accessible which was a plus for us. Frankly, if you’re reading this, I would have to believe that you are in need of a venue or catering for your wedding or any other event. If that is the case, go ahead and move forward with GHI/JMH… You’ll be so pleased that you did! And finally, the food and drinks…Everyone is still talking about (two weeks later) how delicious the food was and how good the drinks were! 10 out of 10, highly recommend!

From the first conversation I had with Vince to the planning phase with Linda, GHI demonstrated professionalism and care for my event. The day of the event the food truck arrived promptly and the two workers were so efficient and personable and very enjoyable to work with. This was a nice experience and the food was GREAT!

Amazing food, great quality! Looking for a caterer for a wedding is overwhelming. GHI made it much easier. I got quotes from about 6 caterers and GHI's food was top notch and their price was affordable. Some caterers were twice the price of GHI. They were accommodating to our gluten-free and vegan guests with LOTS of options that were clearly labeled. Guests LOVED the salmon. The coconut-infused risotto was a hit too! They made it seamless. Grateful to have found them for our wedding.
