We had the pleasure of having Brooklyn Kitchen cater our wedding on September 19, 2026, and they truly exceeded our expectations!
The food was absolutely amazing! The Five-Cheese Mac & Cheese was the star of the show, along with the delicious Baked Salmon with Lychee Glaze. Our guests could not stop raving about how incredible everything tasted! In fact, several guests asked who catered our wedding because they wanted to book Brooklyn Kitchen for their own upcoming events. That alone speaks volumes!
Beyond the delicious food, the customer service was exceptional. This dynamic catering duo was professional, attentive, accommodating, and genuinely committed to making sure our needs were met. Their attention to detail and willingness to work with us throughout the planning process made the experience seamless.
Food is such an important part of any celebration, and Brooklyn Kitchen certainly delivered! We are so grateful they helped make our wedding day memorable for us and our guests.
We highly recommend Brooklyn Kitchen to anyone looking for delicious food, outstanding service, and a catering team that truly cares about its clients.
Thank you, Brooklyn Kitchen, for being part of our special day!

Had the absolute best experience with BKC - the utmost professionalism, quick response, easy communication, etc etc. They made my 30th birthday truly unforgettable and the staff were so friendly and professional and cooperative. I was afraid of booking someone not local to NJ especially with the recent weather but they were super reliable, showed up early and were ready to go for my event when I needed them. Absolute perfection and no complaints!

This was my first event I have ever thrown. I was worried that I would not be able to find a reasonably priced catering company that could pass my tough taste buds. Brooklyn Kitchen was professional, answered all of my questions promptly and professionally. They were diligent and worked hard to achieve my vision. The food indeed SURPASSED my expectations as well as my guests! I ordered the silver package for 20 people. They confirmed all details including allergens, utensils, and time of arrival. They arrived 20 minuets early (ALWAYS A GOOD THING) and ensured the quality of food met my expectations. Next time I hope to book for a larger party and this time add on the serving option instead of buffet! THANK YOU BKC!

This catering drop off was for my niece College Graduation. Brooklyn Catering DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! I wasn’t there but my family said the food was delicious—-so good. They could not stop raving about it. It was a success. Booking from AZ and never tasting their dishes- I was a little nervous. However, their communication and warmth during this process was exceptional. I felt totally comfortable. We have all agreed that Brooklyn Catering will be our forever go to when in NY for events. Thank You
