nk space into a stunning setting for our tablescapes. I truly can’t imagine how we would have navigated the planning process without the support of Christian and Marcia. From the very start, they were there to discuss our budget and guest list, guiding us every step of the way to help us realize our dream wedding. Our tasting with Chef Marcia was a highlight—she was so warm and accommodating. Even with an event planner on board, she took the time to guide us through the rental showroom and offered fantastic design suggestions. On the big day, the team at Preserving Harvest truly excelled, delivering exceptional food, beautiful presentation, and attentive service for our guests all night long. The best part? Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was—from the canapés at cocktail hour to the late-night snacks, everything was fresh, vibrant, and absolutely delicious.

pically featuring roasted chicken, pasta, or fish. As we began to plan our own wedding, we envisioned a unique dinner party experience. Initially, we considered hosting the event at a restaurant, but accommodating 150 guests proved to be quite challenging. Fortunately, a mutual friend introduced us to Preserving Harvest Catering and the outstanding team led by Chef Marcia. They are celebrated for their creativity, high-quality ingredients, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Opting for Preserving Harvest was not merely about catering; it was about creating a truly unforgettable experience for our guests, one that we will treasure long after the last course. Chef Marcia took the time to thoroughly understand our personal preferences, not only in terms of cuisine but also as a couple. She designed a remarkable menu inspired by our childhood favorites, our families' diverse heritages, and our culinary preferences. Her canapés were exquisite, filled with vibrant and bold flavors. One standout was a crispy rice and black bean canapé, which paid tribute to a memorable trip we took to Cuba when we first met. Additionally, she prepared an incredibly delicious black rice arancini accompanied by a delicious culantro chimichurri sauce, as well as my absolute favorite—lamb chops with a pistachio and rosemary sauce. To top it all off, we enjoyed a tropical passion fruit and chocolate tart for dessert. The entire menu was exceptional. Chef Marcia is not only a remarkable chef but also an attentive listener with an impressive eye for detail. Choosing a catering company is a crucial aspect of your celebration, as it represents a significant investment. I can confidently say that Preserving Harvest Catering is worth every penny; they truly are a valuable investment. Our heartfelt thanks go to Marcia, Christian, and the entire staff. You are all outstanding, and Johnathan and I are immensely grateful for your kindness and dedication.

We had the most delicious and beautiful tasting. Everything was prepared with so much care taking into consideration my dietary requirements. I was impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail throughout the entire process. Our wedding day couldn't be the beautiful celebration that it was without Preserving Harvest.

ngs, to our wedding day, they exceeded all of our expectations. The team at this catering company truly understands the meaning of exceptional service. Their attention to detail was impeccable.

d and service provided by this incredible group of people. They were meticulous about everything from the way they organized the dinning room to the bar, the food presentation and everything in between. The chef is so incredibly talented, yet so down to earth. Her food should be on the pages of food magazines. The presentation is like a work of art and the flavors are so unique and interesting. It's an explosion of flavors and textures in your mouth. The coconut and passion fruit ceviche is the best little bite I ever tasted. The desserts are beautifully crafted as well as the entire meal package. Everyone was gracious, attentive and very professional. I would absolutely love to work with them again in the future. Thank you so much!

perience. The quality of their food and dedication to eco-friendly practices make them an excellent choice for any event. There aren't sufficient words to describe our appreciation for their dedication and attention to details. Every single one of our guests were delighted with the delicious food options and their top notch service. I was particularly excited about the specialty cocktails and the grazing table, but ended up loving every single dish. The salads were beautifully presented and so flavorful. We had a family style dinner and just when we thought that it was impossible to get better, they came out with the most glorious platters filled with a Persian inspired fish dish and another one with this delicious Moroccan lamb. The side dishes were equally beautiful, unique and delicious. The vegan options were just incredible. Wait! Did I mention the desserts? To say that we love this company is an understatement. Thank you so much for creating such a magical evening for us. We will be forever grateful

guests kept talking about the food and how helpful and professional everyone was from the manager to the servers, the bartenders, the chef and everyone else involved in making this day to flawless and fun for us. My parents told me that this was the best food that they ever had and I couldn't agree more with them. I would absolutely love to work with them in the future.

d of wedding food before. We were cautiously excited to see what they had to offer as we were in the process of planning our own wedding. We were so wrong! Their food was fine dinning quality. We knew right at that moment that we wanted Preserving Harvest to be part of our wedding. This passed weekend we celebrated our engagement and we are getting married at the beginning of the year. We are both vegan and we couldn't find a better partnership than this company to make the most delicious food for our engagement and wedding celebration. We had a beautiful engagement party and our guests couldn't stop talking about all the delicious and colorful food. We can't wait to celebrate our love party with you!

xceeded our expectations. Everything was delicious and plated in such an intentional and thoughtful manner. I loved the attention to details and the fact that the chef sourced the most beautiful organic-edible flowers to perfectly match my bouquet. My dad mentioned that this was the best dinner he ever had! I can't thank you enough for providing such a flawless experience. All of our guests keep raving about how good the food was and asking who our caterer was. We are forever grateful!

r/lead chef, Marcia, was very transparent and beyond helpful. We were back and forth about a couple dates and Marcia was very patient with us throughout all of the uncertainty and then outstanding the day we finally had our wedding. Couldn't recommend a better catering company than Preserving Harvest Catering!

emic, but we were really impressed by Marcia and her entire staff. They were accommodating and kept us informed about all the changes and local regulations placed during quarantine. On January 2021 the former governor Andrew Cuomo announced that weddings up to 150 people were going to be permitted again starting March 15, 2021 and we immediately received an email from Marcia informing us about the changes. Our venue wasn't able to accommodate our new desired date, but we finally got married two weeks ago after waiting for almost two years. We changed the entire menu for the third time and even though getting to this point was difficult, we are so grateful to know that we were working not only with the best in the industry, but also a group of incredible human beings. Everyone at Preserving Harvest went above and beyond to make our wedding day as magical as it was. My father keeps talking about the food and all the attention to details from the way our family members were received at the venue to the way the food was served and presented. Everything was delicious, seasonal and so colorful. After such a difficult time, our family needed a party and what a great excuse to be together again. Preserving harvest isn't your cookie cutter catering company. If you want awesome food options with an emphasis on local and seasonal ingredients look no further.

Thankfully, were had an amazing group of vendors and while some were unavailable for our new scheduled day, Marcia and her team went above and beyond to help us get new vendors and make us feel safe while planning a bicoastal-international wedding. Our wedding celebration was perfect. Marcia's attention to details is really something to admire. The cocktails were garnished with delicate edible flowers, our salad colors perfectly matched our entire vibe, and the food was seriously the best I ever had. The staff treated my entire family with so much love and care. I am so glad that we were able to work with such an incredible group of professionals . Thank you

d last Saturday at our Brooklyn apartment. Our loved ones weren't there, but Marcia came up with the idea of sending a cocktail box to everyone so that they were able to participate while watching us getting married via zoom. Marcia also made us the most incredible vegan meal for two paired with natural wines. We are having a big party next year and Preserving Harvest will be there again to help us celebrate with our family.

r home. She made wedding planning so easy even in the middle of a pandemic. If you are looking for a great catering company, go and check Preserving Harvest. They are the greatest! They really are...

yummiest tasting and I am sure that our wedding food will be even greater. We highly recommend Preserving Harvest for all your catering needs.

ake me a special plate to make sure I ate! I am so happy that she and her team were part of our special day!

not for Marcia ! She was genuinely excited to create a menu for us and it was amazing.

searching for a caterer for our wedding and I was extremely pleased to work with this company. They were able to customize our menu and incorporate elements of our relationship (such as memories of our first dates, favorite dishes) and put a unique twist to them. Marcia worked tirelessly to ensure that we were considered in every aspect of the event. She simply took the time to find out our preferences and went above and beyond what we were expecting and executed things flawlessly. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for your work Marcia!

and I wanted very different things in terms of the food, so Marcia suggested to do stations with small plates-Oh man, they took it out of the park! So many interesting and delicious options. Stop your search, Preserving Harvest is all that you need.

ales team, the chefs, the servers, bartenders are dedicated people who not only know what they are doing, but they also do it with a smile. Sometimes it's difficult to schedule appointments with them on weekends, but I now understand all the work that it takes to make our dreams come true. Thank you!

iving in California and everyone including Chef Marcia, our point of contact Daniel and Tuya provided us with all the necessary recommendations to orchestrate a destination wedding. They gave us confidence in a process that seemed very complicated given the fact that we didn't have an event planner. We traveled once before our wedding day to do a tasting and we were immediately obsessed with the food. I could not have asked for a better caterer for our wedding!

ed it. The food was so amazing, the cocktails were so pretty and delicious. Thank you for making my wedding dreams come true; you all are wedding magicians! Everyone has been raving and ranting about the wedding and how great everything was including the staff. Marcia even accepted my 90 years old grandfather's invitation to dance with him (even though she was busy getting the dessert bar ready). It was the highlight of the night to see him having so much fun dancing from his wheelchair the end of the night (I think that he has a crush on her!) She is just so humble, sweet, professional and a great chef. I could go on and on about Preserving Harvest, but either way, I HIGHLY recommend them for all of your needs. Thank you a million times! Lauren+Giuseppe

finding Preserving Harvest. No other caterer was able to really capture a menu that celebrated both of our backgrounds in such a cohesive way...Marcia did that and so much more. This girl can cook like a superstar, yet she is such a humble chef. Marcia PLEASE open a restaurant so that we can continue eating your delicious food. I will come every Saturday for dinner (by the way I had two servings of everything and she packed food for James and I to take with us which I was not expecting). Marcia is not only the most creative chef that we know but she is also very organized, sweet and professional; most importantly she gives a damn about her clients and we were very lucky to have her as our caterer! The entire team showed up early and once they started cooking many of our guests made comments in reference to feeling so welcome and right at home because of the incredibly hospitable demeanor of the staff-they were excellent; they were attentive, friendly and warm. I’m so glad we were able to work with Preserving Harvest, and we hope you do too!

months before our wedding, and she created a three course amazing meal for us in New York as a tasting. Her warm and inviting nature, free of pretentious attitude, unlike many chefs I have dealt with, and creativity, blew us away. We hired her immediately, despite blowing way over our initial budget! We were so in awe of her delicious cooking, in fact, that we told her to cook whatever she wanted for our wedding and surprise us day of (which I never in a million years expected myself to do, as a total planner). We live in California, so all planning was done via e-mail and on the phone. Marcia made the whole process so easy and painless for us, and did a lot of coordination with our site on our behalf. We had our wedding a few weeks ago. Marcia and her staff could not have been nicer. They showed up wearing matching dog socks, as they knew our dog was in the wedding. Marcia cooked our dog an amazing special meal and roasted her a bone, which ended up coming on our honeymoon with us because our dog would not let us throw it away! The meal was to die for. She created a unique, tailored menu, that was really exciting and different. Everything tasted fresh, was the perfect temperature, and met even our most foody/snobby relatives' desires. One of the highlights of the evening, which I shared already with Marcia, was concerning my cousin who has Down Syndrome and is an extremely picky eater, who mostly lives off of unseasoned meat and potatoes. My uncle watched him go for seconds on all of the different dishes (which had unique spices and flavors, and even tofu, as most of our meal was vegan). He asked him if he liked the meal and he said, "Are you kidding me, I am in Heaven!" That moment will forever last in our hearts and was such a touching addition to the day! Marcia gave us the most special wedding. While the venue and setting were also amazing, it would not have been the same without her food. I get daily phone calls and e-mails from our guests telling us this was the best wedding ever, that the food was unlike any wedding food they've ever had, and asking how can they get the recipes. Marcia has sent follow-up e-mails to check on us and whether she likes it or not, we now consider her family. Not in my wildest imagination could I have guessed we would have this experience with our wedding caterer. She is so kind, generous, genuine, in addition to being a phenomenal cook. She created a memory that we will never forget, and gave a culinary experience to some of our guests that they have never had. If you are vegan or have dietary restrictions, she is also your girl! Everyone left our wedding full, excited about her food, and content (Which literally never happens at weddings in my opinion). A million praises and hugs to Marcia and her team! You would be stupid not to pick her as your event caterer. I mean that absolutely sincerely. We love her!!!

away at our first tasting. Marcia hit all the flavor palates we were looking for. Her dishes are so flavorful and colorful. She focuses on making seasonal ingredients shine. And most importantly, she really made sure we were getting everything we needed. Our guests were raving about the food, post-wedding. We would highly recommend Marcia for any event. We would work with her again if we were still living in New York!

es without hesitation. She also liaised with the hire company for the rentals which I know wasn’t an easy task but on the day she got it spot on. When Marcia sent through the food choice for the day I knew it would be amazing and it really was. The set up was perfect. The food was amazing and complimented by everyone. We didn’t have a huge budget but Marcia managed to make the bar set up and drinks very classy but which I was grateful for. Lastly her staff were amazing! They were laid back, blended in, great with the kids and allowed us space to have our party. I couldn’t recommend her or the team enough. Thank you!

creative, punctual and just a joy to work with. The food was fresh, seasonal and incredibly delicious. My parents are celebrating their 30th anniversary next year and you bet they are also going to be catering this milestone for our family. If you are looking for a very unique catering with outstanding food and service, just check Preserving Harvest out. It was a very solid decision for us with incredibly positive results.

ptional service. After carefully researching just about every catering company in NYC we decided to stop when we came across Preserving Harvest. We had the most delicious tasting and knew right away that we wanted Marcia and her team to be part of our wedding day. During our celebration people didn't stop talking about how good the food was! Jonah was incredible and made sure that we had everything we needed. Marcia was amazing throughout the entire process-She was so gracious and kind to all of our adjustments/changes even leading to a few weeks up to the wedding. Both Marcia and Jonah were consistently available over email or the phone for questions and recommendations. The whole team was a dream. They were ALL very professional and accommodating to our guests. Just when I thought that they were the absolute best, Marcia informed us that they were making a donation to a charity of our choice as a way to commemorate our love and celebrate with the community at large. It's rare to find people who are not only passionate about their work but also care so much about their impact to the community. My husband and I could not be more pleased. I can't give them enough praise. They are exceptionally professional and their food is simply out of this world.

furthermore Marcia created a beautiful menu which included the best polenta I've ever had in my entire life (better than my mom's-sorry mother-I love you). Working with them was just the icing on the cake. The bartenders, and servers are friendly and professional. They made sure that we had everything that we and our guests needed throughout the night. If you are looking for a great catering company, look no further; Preserving Harvest is is the one to go to.

vest; they were warm, friendly, professional and so amazingly creative. They took the time to get to know my husband and I and created a very unique and interesting menu for us based on our favorite foods. We were so very impressed by the quality of their food during our tasting that we asked the head chef Marcia to select what she wanted to cook for our wedding! Since she is a Sommelier, we were able to get an incredible beverage pairing list made for us. Every single dish was paired with a different beverage including cider, dessert wine and two specialty cocktails. We had such a stress free wedding day, a lot of which has to be credited to Marcia and her excellent staff! Many of our friends and family members said that this was absolutely the best food they had ever had. THANK YOU, Preserving Harvest! The food was beyond delicious. I would highly, highly recommend them without hesitation!

ng in the Hudson Valley with beautiful locally sourced vegetables, grilled meats and fish as well seasonal passed appetizers. The food was beyond beautiful and delicious. We got so many compliments from our guests and many wanted their business card for future events! Marcia made our vision come to life by creating an incredible menu made just for us. If you are having an event contact Preserving Harvest; they are sweet, professional and punctual. Thank you for making our wedding day extra sweet with you attention to details and your support throughout the entire process!

wedding that we wanted the guests (and ourselves) to truly enjoy and Marcia nailed it! Our guests left our wedding asking if she had a restaurant in the city that they could visit because it was SO good! Marcia is extremely involved in the planning process and takes the time to truly make every aspect of the menu personalized for the couple. She even brought over lamb shanks for our pups after the wedding so that they could have some of the food as well! She went above and beyond and will hopefully be working with us on events in the future!

hem as the caterer for our wedding.The team was extremely gracious and flexible with respect to our needs and modifications to the menu. What I respect the most is the fact that Marcia is able to conceive an idea in her brain and make it come to life. She showed her creativity and versatility as both a Chef and a Sommelier with her cocktails and food items. All of my friends and family were also pleased with the end result and even considered using her for their own events. Thanks again and this would not have been possible without you.

ough for making our wedding so seamless.

caterer. The staff was professional and courteous, a real treat to include in such a special day. Their range of abilities are remarkable and we found that each dish prepared was better than anticipated. They helped to make our wedding day more than I could have hoped for and I am positive he can do the same for you.

o Marcia at a wine tasting for industry professionals two years prior to my wedding. We spent several hours geeking about wine and exchanged business cards at the end of the night. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that she was not only a fellow Certified Sommelier, but also a Chef. After speaking with my husband we contacted Marcia and started planning for what was about to be the greatest wedding ever (as per every single one of our guests!). Marcia was able to accommodate every single one of our many requests including a great food and wine pairing menu, as well as fantastic specialty cocktails created with rare wines and spirits. You should absolutely hire Preserving Harvest for your wedding-you will not be disappointed!

person and has a wonderful small business. I cannot wait to work with her again!
