What areas do you service?
The primary service area of Michelle’s Catering encompasses the Tri-State area, including New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. We are also available for weddings and special events outside of the area.
How much do you charge?
Our menus and services are completely customized for each special event, taking into careful consideration the desires and expectations of our clients. Please contact us to discuss your event and we will provide you a custom proposal and quote, with no cost or obligation.
Can you provide tables, chairs, plates, glasses, etc.?
Michelle’s Catering can arrange for all of the equipment and rental needs for your special event. We work with the area’s most innovative and trusted rental providers in the area, and will make the entire process seamless, worry-free, and cost-effective.
If you decide to arrange the rentals on your own, contact us to discuss the quantities, logistics and fees for setup and breakdown.
Does our venue need to have a kitchen?
Whether your venue has a full kitchen, a prep area, or no kitchen at all, we have the capability and equipment to make your event happen flawlessly.
Will you help me design a floor plan for my event?
We will work with you to design a layout for your event that incorporates your vision and facilitates a smooth flow. We will review table sizes, location, guests per table, dance floor, food stations, and bar locations so that no detail is overlooked.
Do you visit our site prior to our event?
Because we regularly work at so many venues, a site visit by our team is not an absolute requirement; however, we find that many of our clients would like us to accompany them on a visit to the venue. We encourage this, and provide this service at no charge, as we have found that it is the best way for us to help you plan the flow and layout of your event.
I see that you also provide planning services. Do I still need my own planner or coordinator?
We work with the area’s best wedding and event planners and decorators on a regular basis, and together we strive to ensure the success of your special event.
We realize that not every client wants to engage an outside planner, so we offer a cost-effective alternative through our in-house planning and decor services. We offer a seamless experience from start to finish.
