This review is for their catering services...

I don't even know where to start - they have been WONDERFUL every step of the way! We used them for our wedding weekend last weekend at the Mountain Lakes House in Princeton (and for our rehearsal dinner). First off, they hosted an amazing tasting when we tried them out over a year ago. Then, over the course of the year, their events manager, Sam, worked with me via email to patiently answer all my questions and work with our rental vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. Though at times I was months away from my wedding, she would answer my questions with as much haste as if I were having my wedding tomorrow.

Then when it came to the day of the entire staff was INCREDIBLE! I was running over an hour late but they worked on setting everything up based on previous email directions and when I finally got there everything looked stunning and perfect as if I would have done it myself (and I was very picky on the decor!) They were super kind with working with us and for us, putting out about 60 luminaries on a walk way and telling our bridal party they didn't need to move a finger. The staff was timely, professional and extremely considerate all night. And the team worked really well with a stressed bride - they knew just what to say and do :-) They made their own spreads absolutely beautiful, bringing in their own flowers/leaves for decor that complimented my own. When we forgot to put out the dessert menu that my friend worked hard on, they worked as a quick team to put it out under the desserts while guests were vying for slices of cake and did so in such a beautiful and kind fashion.

I truly can't say enough about this company's kindness, professionalism, work ethic, patience and overall style. If you are in the area and getting married, you will likely be sorry if you don't hire Emily's to cater your event. They are simply the best.

And with all of that, you might think that the food would be so-so. Its not. The food itself was what originally sold us on Emily's. Everything has such unique, well-blended flavors but for the average person. We had a coffee BBQ brisket that was to die for and for the rehearsal the chef made us some lavender chicken and a eggplant napoleon that everyone was raving about. Outside of raving about the staff and hospitality, we had so many guests come up to us and tell us how good the food was. And of course our reply was "We know." ;-)
