Birthday
What our clients have to say about our food and catering services.
“… out of town, for about 30 people. Marylyn was so great to work with. She talked to us several times to make sure we were happy with the food choices, explained and offered options. And, overall, we couldn’t be happier with how easy she made the entire process. The party was hours out of town for us, and over an hour for her, yet everything went smoothly!
She helped us get prepared by going over every detail of what was needed and quantities. On the day off the party, she and her team were punctual and made everything go smoothly. The food was to die for! All guests were raving about the food, starting with the appetizers and ending on deserts. WOW! All delicious and so beautiful to look at, too! The staff was so polite and nice and the bartender was great, too! After the party, all leftovers were stored away, location was cleaned up and we didn’t have to do anything other than enjoy the party and relax. Five-star service and food! She even recommended the baker and the flower company, which were also wonderful. One stop shop for everything and I do not regret one thing!”Agata Brown (Daughter), Maria Gurecki (Mom and Birthday Girl!) | Monticello, NY
“She was exceptional with all aspects of planning and communication, including scheduling several calls to discuss meal options, budget and logistics. She was punctual, organized and served a wonderful dinner party that included vegan selections. She left everything spotless, and we were able to completely enjoy the evening knowing she was handling every detail. Her assistant Jill baked a professional looking and tasting cake that my dad said was the best thing he ever ate. I highly recommend Marilyn and her team.”

“I wanted to share our experience with Juste Hors D’Oeuvres, whom we hired for my milestone birthday celebration. Our caterer, Marylyn, was very detail-oriented, followed up with us regularly, and worked around our schedules. She also coordinated directly with the event venue on everything from facility requirements to equipment breakdown. The food was fresh, delicious, served on time, and at the right temperature. She is truly a marvelous chef and offered a wide variety of food selection. We were impressed by how she treated our guests, especially the elderly and people with disabilities. She reached out to them individually and made sure they had food that suited their needs and preferences. They all felt very cared for and appreciated. I highly recommend Juste Hors D’Oeuvres for any occasion. They are professional, friendly, and affordable. You won’t regret it!”

“Marylyn put on a fabulous 60th birthday party for me and 65 friends outside at our house in July. The menu – which she helped us choose with excellent recommendations – was beautifully prepared, delicious, and expertly served. Her staff is fantastic. She is professional and prompt in her communications, and easy to work with. We recommend her without reservation!”

“I threw a 90th birthday party for my mother which was a Murder Mystery Night. The staff from Juste Hors D’Oeuvres was amazing from beginning to end. Marylyn helped me plan a menu that worked with a guest list that ranged in age from 7 to 92. Everyone loved the food and there was plenty!! The chef, bartender, and servers were efficient and extremely personable. Their interaction with the guests was seamless. I would use them again and again !!!”

“I worked with Marylyn, Juste Hors D’Oeuvres, to cater my husband’s 50th birthday celebration. From the initial phone call I knew that Marylyn understood my vision and from there she worked with me to create the perfect menu that reflected who we were and the vibe I was going for. Come party day, the team was amazing, and the food was fantastic! I received so many compliments about the food (especially the sliders, mac n’ cheese and tacos,) as it far exceeded the highest of expectations. When I wanted a unique dessert option, Marylyn found a Ben and Jerry’s ice cream Sundae cart and made all the arrangements. Marylyn will be my caterer for all future events. I highly recommend her for any event you are throwing. I only wish most wedding food was as good as what was served at the party.”
Claudia Hay | NYC
“Marylyn and her team helped with a party at our home for over 60 guests. This was my second time using Marylyn and she was even better than I remember! Marylyn was incredibly helpful selecting the menu, developing a serving plan for the event, working with third party vendors, and making sure the event was professionally staffed. Not only was the food great, her team was incredibly helpful post-event. In fact, after the event was over, our party-planner reached out for her contact information to use Just Hors D’Oeuvres at an upcoming wedding. We look forward to seeing Marylyn and her team again soon.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Marylyn and Juste Hors D’Oeuvres for my 40th birthday celebration. Marylyn was amazing to work with. She responded to my initial contact within 24 hours and was always quick to respond to my follow-up questions. For my dinner, Marylyn and team prepared appetizers, a dinner buffet, dessert and provided a bartender. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the drinks were amazing. I highly recommend Marylyn and team for any event, and look forward to working with her in the future.”
Nashira Layade | New Milford, NJ
“The food they prepared for my dad’s 90th birthday party was sensational. Chef Marylyn went above and beyond to help me plan the meal and organize the rental equipment necessary to make the event a special day. Her team was particularly accommodating and sensitive to the social distancing protocols due to COVID. I would highly recommend Chef Marylyn’s Juste Hors D’oeuvres and Much More for any event, large and small. Thank you Chef Marylyn and Chef Manny for a memorable day!”

“Juste Hors D’Oeurvres was simply fantastic. I threw a surprise party for my mother in her home… Fun and sweet and open, the staff generously and calmly set up the party and truly helped us make it feel like a PARTY. The food was AMAZING – everyone asked me about it all night. The way the staff made everyone feel comfortable and cared for, including my mother when she arrived and found all these people in my kitchen, was truly beautiful. The party went on without a hitch. The team was so flexible and again, just fun. So grateful!!!”

“Very easy to book. They listened to what I wanted to have, guided me to the choices that best suited my vision, and delivered in a professional and timely manner. I will definitely use them again for future events, and I highly recommend this company.”
