Wedding Catering in New Jersey

Wedding Caterer NJ

YOUR DAY, SO LET'S DO IT YOUR WAY.

The Most Important Day of Your Life, Everything Has to Be Perfect.

David Alan Caterers has catered weddings in New Jersey since 1986. Every wedding is a reflection of the couple, so we start by listening, then plan the menu, the service and the details around your day. From tents to rooftops, backyards to ballrooms, we cater weddings across New Jersey and New York City.

 

  • Full-service wedding catering. Chefs, servers, bartenders and an event planner who runs the timeline.

  • Custom menus. From relaxed family-style dinners to formal multi-course meals.

  • Cocktail hours and stations. Passed bites and chef-attended action stations.

  • Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. A full plant-based menu or special dishes for a few guests.

  • Engagement parties and bridal showers. One team for the celebrations leading up to the big day.

  • Trusted venues. We work with venues across North Jersey, from the Morris Museum to The Laundromat.

Planning Your Dream Menu

Your wedding menu should taste like the two of you. Our New Jersey wedding planners start by listening: the foods you love, the feel of the day and your guest list. Then we build a custom menu, from a relaxed family-style dinner to a formal multi-course meal.

 

Popular additions include chef-attended action stations during cocktail hour and a signature drink for the bar. For ideas, see our posts on chef action stations and wedding drink catering.

 

No detail gets missed. We handle presentation down to the last plate so your day looks as good as it tastes.

How to Choose a Wedding Caterer in NJ

 

Your caterer feeds every guest and runs a big part of your day. Look for:

  • Food you love. Ask how they plan the menu with you and whether you can taste it before the big day.

  • Experience at your venue. A caterer who knows the space knows the kitchen, the load-in and the timing.

  • A full-service team. Chefs, servers, bartenders and one point of contact who runs the timeline.

  • Real dietary options. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and allergy-safe dishes that taste as good as the rest.

  • Clear pricing. Know what the per-guest price includes: food, staff, rentals, bar, gratuity and tax.

  • Time to plan. Popular dates book early, so start the conversation as soon as you have your date.

​

Questions to ask before you book: Have you worked at our venue? What is included in the per-guest price? Who is our contact on the day? How do you handle guests with allergies? When do you need our final headcount?
