Genadeen Caterers

Avi and his crew get 5-stars for delicous food, a seamless, outstanding experience and top-notch service in all respects. We were thrilled with our daughter's wedding and would absolutely use Genadeen Caterers again!

Genadeen catered our wedding, and we were really pleased with the experience. We planned the event without much lead time, so it was very important to us that Avi was very responsive and straightforward. He was very accommodating to our particular needs and requests. The food itself was wonderful and plentiful - all of our guests said so - and we were especially pleased that our vegetarian guests raved about the food. Avi was extremely helpful on the day of the event itself - he made sure all of the parts of the wedding ran smoothly. Overall it was a great experience - we would absolutely recommend Genadeen to anyone else!

We recently (March 2021) made our wedding with Genadeen at the Sephardic temple. It was beyond expectations. Everything was perfect - It was set up both indoors and outdoors, and as regulations changed, they. were adaptive to our needs to be able to keep the wedding safe and per guidelines while also a true wedding party. The food was the best we've ever had at a wedding.

We visited a lot of places and have been to a lot of weddings but Genadeen wins the prize. Our guests agreed. Finally, the staff are kind, responsive, courteous and friendly. Avi is a wonderful person to work with - incredibly responsive, creative and trustworthy. We were extremely satisfied with the experience of making.

I got married on July 3, 2019. Avi and his team threw an over the top event for us. Everything was perfect from start to finish: the food, decor, and planning process with Genadeen was seamless! Avi and his team made sure I had the wedding of my dreams. Anything I requested, Avi and his team delivered! I still get compliments to this day about my wedding. I highly recommend Genadeen caterers for your next event! Thank you to Avi and his team for throwing us an amazing event :

Amazing food and even better service! I use them for all my parties!

Very professional. Nice presentation. Good value for your money.

We used Genadeen Caterers for our wedding in February and working with Avi was an absolute pleasure right from the start. After each meeting we knew we were in good hands and that everything would be taken care. of to the highest standards. The team's coordination and organization was impeccable and made catering one less thing for us to worry about. We are still hearing from our guests that the food was beautiful and exceptional. THANK YOU!

And I just celebrated our wedding at Sephardic Temple. We had the best experience working with Avi--the food was delicious, the staff (Fran and Mike and others) were all extremely professional, . and Avi continuously worked closely with us to ensure we incorporated everyone's opinions and preferences nicely. We highly recommend Sephardic Temple and Genadeen Caterers to all!

We highly recommend Genadeen caterers whose delicious and plentiful food made our son's Bar Mitzvah a success! Avi was a pleasure to work with. He came out to our event space months before the event and helped us create a beautiful simcha in a confined space. We look forward to working with Avi again for our next party!

Genadeen catered my wedding 11/11/18. The food was beyond amazing and everyone really enjoyed. Avi and Amy made the whole process very easy! My husband and I would highly recommend working with them for any event.

We just used Genadeen for our daughter's wedding. We worked with Avi and he did a phenomenal job. The food was absolutely plentiful at the Schmorg.lots of stations. The Sushi station has 2 sushi chefs making fresh sushi. The food is displayed beautifully. The main course and appetizer was displayed beautifully and got great reviews. The dessert stations and pass around desserts were also amazing and the party ended on a real high note.

I contacted many Glatt Kosher caterers and Genadeen stood out from all the others for quantity, price and quality. I highly recommend Genadeen for any event. Working with Avi was such a pleasure and the food exceeded our expectations.

Genadeen catered our kids' wedding which was at Greentree Country Club in New Rochelle on June 17, 2018. This was the first of our weddings that we brought in a caterer to an offsite venue. Avi was extremely helpful in planning the menu. Everyone complimented us on the food - especially the smorgasbord and the pass around desserts. I would. definitely use Genadeen again and recommend them without any hesitation.

Special shout out to Michael - our Maitre d' who remained calm and organized. He welcomed our guests warmly and made sure that everything ran smoothly. Thank you to Avi; his son and everyone behind the scenes.

Thank you so much for all you have done to make our special day amazing. I know that our wedding was not an easy event, being it was an outside event. Everything turned out better then we could have ever imagined! All the food was amazing! Everyone was very impressed at all the food and how wonderful it was. Thank you so much for going above and beyond and always being available to answer any questions or concerns. We hope to work with you soon for many more simchas!

Our daughter's wedding was this past Sunday at a venue in Westchester. Avi and his team came in and did a fabulous job. The food and presentation was exceptional. My guests raved about the cocktail hour and the variety, the dinner was superb and the desserts just topped off the night. Avi is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.

My sons wedding was last June. I waited till now to post this since I am in the process of planning another wedding for my daughter. We visited the Sephardic Temple to look and see. We loved the venue but beware. Although Avi seemed to be sincere he really let us down. Our count ballooned from 250 to 312. He didn't add a station or expand the cocktail reception to accommodate the number of people. Did not add servers and ran out of dinners for our guests.

I particularly am offended since my wedding was held there in 1987, my sister was married there, my cousins founding members of the temple itself. This was a very personal insult to me having such a long relationship with the temple and caterer. Obviously I would never consider going back there. Half my guests didn't even get to eat at the cocktail hour myself included. When we confronted him at the wedding he could care less.

Genadeen caterers catered our wedding at Sephardic Temple. We initially approached Avi's son - David. David was 100% available and responsive before we booked. After we booked, reaching him was like pulling teeth. Dealing with the owner - Avi, was unpleasant to say the least. He was not courteous with the bride the first time around on the phone, cutting her off when she was trying to ask questions.

He did not communicate well and got irritated at questions. "This is a stupid question". There are no stupid questions, Avi. You need to respect customers and you cannot treat women with disrespect. Our DJ company discussed the itinerary ahead of time. The itinerary included "dry ice" during our first dance. Genadeen were provided with the detailed itinerary with advance notice.

The itinerary was approved by the Genadeen. However, DJ company was told 5 minutes before the event as they were setting up (!) that they may not use dry ice. We lost a lot of money on it. This could have been avoided if Avi was approachable and honest. Djusa is a famous company that does events in places like Conrad, Waldorf Astoria etc. They were frankly quite appalled at the way Avi approached business.

The temple itself was beautiful. Amazing Rabbi and Cantor. Beautiful ceremony. There were small issues with the ceremony. Bride was supposed to walk around the groom 7 times. This didn't happen although was previously discussed and submitted in writing. Groomsmen stood on a different side compared to the originally intended. They were "rerouted" during the ceremony in spite of Master of ceremonies being provided with a written map, with a drawing of the chuppah, and circles with placement of every person by name!

It was still a nice ceremony. The food catered was good according to our guests. Both the cocktail hour and the formal dinner were great. There was a full premium bar, no issues there. We would not recommend the caterer for the reasons outlined above. Especially if you are not from the community/5 towns! We felt like we were treated like outsiders.

Avi and his team catered our daughter's wedding 2 days ago. From the first meeting we had w/ Avi, we felt he was listening to what we had in mind. He delivered on his promises, and the guests were happy, the bride and groom were happy, and both sets of parents were happy. He also served as coordinator among the various vendors. We did the wedding at a local shul, and he worked w/ the shul, w/ the florist, w/ the music, and made what could have been headaches, pleasurable.

The food is delish, the presentation is beautiful, and the budget is very reasonable. We could have spent more, but we feel we would not have gotten more. Avi is a gentleman, very patient, and professional. He has our unconditional recommendation.

We had a wedding catered by Genadeen in New Rochelle. Our family lives in Chicago and from my first conversation with Avi, I knew that we were in good hands. His food, staff and service were unbelievable. My friends are still talking about the smorg and how they wish that we had Avi here in Chicago to cater our local events. He also packed up all of the leftover food so that we were able to eat his delicious meal for a few extra days and it still tasted great!

I have used Genadeen for several occasions. we started with my daughters Bat Mitzvah which had to be postponed due to the death of the bat mitzvah girls grandpa. Avi worked w/ us and handled everything as though we were a part of his own family. Instead of increasing our stress, he and his staff helped us through our difficult time by assuring us that everything will be ok.

When it was time for the party, although it was bittersweet, it was the event of a lifetime. Avi and his staff truly makes the family feel special on their day. They take over the complete "show" so you dont need to worry. The food is fresh, yummy, and plentiful. The staff is professional and courteous. If any issue does happen to come up, it is certainly minor and it will be handled immediately without any commotion.

Once that party was over, I have used Genadeen for my 2 other kids Bar Mitzvahs as well as many other parties. No job is too small or too big. I have called Avi with a few day notice for catering for office lunches and he always pulls through! I always get compliments on "my caterer" -

Amazing wedding from start to finish. Truly an unforgettable evening and would not hesitate to have our next party with Avi and his team.

Genadeen Caterers catered my wedding in July, 2011. It has been one year and guests are STILL telling me how unbelievable the food, staff & service were. They were so easy and enjoyable to work with; helping us every step of the way. Their special staff is truly one of a kind and made the wedding planning process a wonderful experience. We can't wait to use them again!

Had a party for 75 people at my home and Genadeen Caterers handled it. They did a fabulous job! The food was exceptional, the staff was wonderfully attentive and courteous. They are by far the best caterers I have come across, to date. I will certainly use them again.
