Above And Beyond Catering

Jill and her team did the most incredible job for my daughter’s Simchat Bat. The food was absolutely incredible, the presentation was beautiful and the staff was very professional. Jill was a joy and easy to work with — very responsive and accommodating. Every single guest raved about it all. Multiple people even asked for her card for their own future events. I’ll never use another company besides Above and Beyond!

Above and beyond is the perfect name for Jill’s company because every guest and every other vendor raved how the caterer went above and beyond. We needed a kosher caterer for my daughter’s wedding in the Catskills (not easy to find). I found Jill online and went solely on the reviews. A month before the wedding my daughter moved back to the states after living in Jerusalem and we met Jill at the venue in rural upstate New York. After meeting with her in person my daughter felt comforted right away. The day of the wedding everything was flawless. The food was amazing and abundant. The service was impeccable. Honestly I could go on and on how calm and gracious Jill was the day of the event not only to all of us but to the staff and other vendors which they commented on. Jill, you are a very special person and you made this special day even more perfect and special. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Jill and her team were UNBELIEVABLE!!! She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and helped us with so many aspects of the planning process in addition to being the best caterer ever. We had soooo many guests approach us to tell us how good the food was. Jill catered our Shabbat before the wedding, and everything was delicious. All the food was so well balanced, healthy, and the paerve desserts were outstanding!! Would recommend Above & Beyond to anyone. 10/10!!!

Above and Beyond was absolutely fabulous on our wedding day. Guests are still talking about how wonderful the food was - the shmorg, dinner, and dessert were also so delicious and beautifully presented!! Jill also acted as a day-of coordinator and everything was seamless. She worked calmly and professionally behind the scenes with all vendors to keep the day flowing. I didn’t worry about anything that day and it all worked out perfectly.

We had a lounge-like vision for the party: no assigned seats, a mix of table sizes, and a buffet of tapas style plates that would get people moving around the space. Jill made this happen and it felt seamless - she was endlessly positive and full of ideas and solutions to make the event feel festive, COVID-safe, and flowing. No one ever had to wait in line for drinks - bars were plentiful and well run. My husband and I sat at a small table together which she thoughtfully prepared ahead of time with a full array of food so we actually got to eat a little that evening!

I HIGHLY recommend Jill and her team and hope to attend more of her events in the future!

True to their name, Jill and her team went Above and Beyond. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic where comfort levels vary dramatically was certainly challenging. Jill was incredibly flexible and made sure our vision came true while also making sure everyone was comfortable. She was easy and wonderful to work with and incredible responsive.

My husband and I chose a venue that was less familiar with the beats of a Jewish wedding but Jill made sure everything ran smoothly.

Of course — these were all cherries on top and the FOOD was the main event. We’re still fielding compliments about the shmorg and dinner and only wish we got to enjoy more during our special day! Everything was beautifully presented, delicious, and so creative!

Jill also went off menu to create my husband’s favorite dish as an entree. We were all thrilled and cannot recommend Above & Beyond highly enough!!
