    Best food!

    My husband and i had as much food as we could handle with all the excitement of our wedding and it was delicious! People are still raving to us about the food and it was almost a month ago. We could not have felt more comfortable with knowing we provided the best for our guests. Everything about Abigail Kirsch was above and beyond!

    Amazing food and service

    We had our wedding at Tappan Hill Mansion, an Abigail Kirsch venue. We could not be happier with the choice! All of the food selections were incredible; there were so many yummy-looking options that it was very hard to choose our menu! In the end, all of the food, from cocktail hour to the wedding cake, was fantastic. They didn't do a traditional "tasting," which I was initially disappointed about, but they do host a couple of nights a year where they serve a sample menu (it's a LOT of food) to all of the couples with upcoming weddings. After our tasting night I was sure we had made the right choice, as everything was fantastic. It also helped us choose which dishes to select for our own wedding! Many guests raved about the food, and the service was unmatched as well. Everything was wonderful!

    michelin star quality!

    Abigail Kirsch was the caterer at The Lighthouse and we are so lucky! Every single person at the wedding told us how amazing the food was and we couldn't agree more. One guest had just returned from Italy and said the food was better than anything she tasted abroad! The cocktail hour was so different and everything was finger food which I loved! I don't like holding a full plate of pasta at steak during cocktail hours so this was an amazing solution. I wish I could relive the food at our wedding and eat it every night!

    The most delicious food!

    We still hear people raving about the meal. There are so many options and we had such a hard time choosing the menu because the pictures all looked so mouth watering. The only downside is that they don’t do tasting but rest assured everything they serve is delicious (and very elegantly plated). They are very accommodating with special diet requests and do a great job of running through the menu after selection to ensure everything chosen works well together (ie. certain ingredients aren’t over represented, there’s a good balance of heavy and light food, etc). We also didn’t want the traditional cake so they let us use that as a credit towards something else on the menu which we used for late night pretzels which were a hit! Rest assured no one will leave hungry.

    WOW! Some of the best food I've ever tasted, even better at some of the restaurants i've been to. The food sometimes (especially cocktail hour food) looks like art, is always beautifully presented and always delicious. Can't recommend enough. Too bad they don't do tastings, but after speaking to numerous people, reading countless reviews and looking at photographs, my husband and I were confident we were making the right choice. And we did. Our wedding 3 weeks ago was absolutely delicious

    Abigail Kirsch was fantastic! I could not have asked for a better caterer to handle my wedding. Although there was a shift in management mid way through our planning period, Abigail Kirsch handled themselves professionally and strived to give us the best service. The food was outstanding and very hearty. The mojito granitas were a hit! And the butlered service was impeccable. Great job to Carl Hedin and his staff. Thank you for a memorable evening. It was truly magical.

    My husband and I were a bit anxious when we started the process of looking at venues because we really wanted a unique venue with stellar food. We also did not want to spend a fortune to achieve our vision. We struck gold when we found Abigail Kirsch’s Stone Mill at the New York Botanical Garden. The venue is absolutely stunning and the food is out of this world. It is on the smaller side, so if you are looking for a large banquet hall, this is not your place. It is quaint and romantic.

    Our wedding was absolutely perfect and that is thanks to Stephanie and her team at AK’s Stone Mill. The course of the day flowed flawlessly thanks to them. We are so fortunate to have had our wedding at this location with the dream team.

    The venue was absolutely perfect! Our coordinator Paul was a true godsend. He worked with us on the menu and was our savior the day of. All of our guests had a magnificent time and the food was to die for!

    Kudos to the staff at AK who made our day unforgettable!

    I could not have been happier with Abigail Kirsch. The food was amazing, people still cannot stop talking about it and the service was phenomenal. They really outdid themselves, I would definitely recommend them and use them again. Richard my coordinator at Stage 6 was on top of everything and had a calmness about him that I really appreciated.

    If you are looking for a caterer that is unique and is aware of every detail that will wow you, Abigail Kirsch is for you. My husband and I looked at many places in NY and even in Florida as we were pondering with a destination wedding. When we saw the site and the two areas in the Botanical Gardens we were simply amazed. We selected the Stone Mill. The Stone Mill is a beautiful and intimate location. At first we were hesitant because AK was not your typical caterer. They do thing differently. As we spoke to people that had the chance to work with AK, all that we kept on hearing over and over was how amazing the service and food was. How great the venue was and how great the AK team was in ensuring our day went without hitch. Every vendor, person, and service provider we spoke to all said the same thing. We were taken back by all the support AK had from various individuals. The vendor gives you everything you need. There are only a few things you need to complete your day and AK can provide recommendations. A huge concern for my husband was the food. He is a foodie and it is always hard to please Hispanic people because they can always cook better that Gordon Ramsey :). There is no one word that can describe the food but the first word that comes to mind is amazing. I can say with the basic package there is enough food and nobody will go hungry. The amount of food provided in the cocktail hour is incredible. It is not your average wedding food like chicken marsala, or prime rib. We are talking 5 star restaurant quality food. You will never think it is catered. If you have a chance to deal with AK Stephanie Hill is your go to person. She is amazing. Ensures every detail is right, every vendor is on time and fed, and is very responsive, and thoughtful. She is a rock star. AK is the best at what they do.

    I cannot say enough about Abigail Kirsch. We had our wedding at the Stonemill at the New York Botanical Garden. It was absolutely flawless. Paul Richards was our event coordinator & he did a phenomenal job. He made sure that our wedding was exactly what we wanted. He made sure the night was seamless. Everything went off without a hitch. The food was absolutely incredible. They do not have tasting so I was a little worried. But so many people we know used AK for their events & said everything was amazing. They were right. We are foodies so great food was an absolute must for the event. We were beyond happy. The food was perfect! People raved about it. 2 months later people are still talking about it. The ambiance was stunning. I cannot rave enough about the magnificent job AK did with the food & venue and what a great job Paul did in handling our event. Thank you all. Ido could give them more stars I would. I highly recommend them.

    Tappan Hill Mansion was the most amazing location for our wedding reception. The mansion is absolutely gorgeous, the views of the Hudson are breathtaking, the food is unparalleled and the service is impeccable. Gabe was an absolute dream to work with. He made the entire evening run smoothly and his attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our wedding reception was absolutely PERFECT. Gabe went above and beyond to make sure our guests had an unforgettable evening. Our guests raved about the food, service, and beauty of the location. I could not have dreamed of a more perfect, beautiful location for our wedding. A HUGE thank you to Gabe and the Tappan Hill staff for ensuring our wedding was perfect and unforgettable--not just for us but for all of our guests as well.

    I was concerned when I was informed that there was not going to be a tasting for our food selection, but my concern was unwarrented. Just the presentation alone made it hard for my husband and I to choose because everything looked FANTASTIC. On the day of the wedding everyone was commenting on how delicious the food was (I only wish I was able to eat more of it).

    Abigail Kirsch catered my wedding on May 13,2012 at the New York Botanical Gardens Stone Mill. All I can say is OMG. The food was beyond delicious. The appetizers,starters ,dessert and entree were amazing. The cocktail stations were amazing. I selected the Tuscan and Asian Fusion. My guests till this day cannot stop talking about the food.

    My even Manager Gabe Vega was unbelievable. He was very professional and made my day go smoothly.

    Janet, the off-premises catering manager, is absolutely incredible. She made is possible for me to have a DREAM wedding without a wedding planner, because she was on the phone and on email with me WHENEVER I needed ANYTHING.

    The food was beyond perfect. It is the best catering, beyond your dreams, and your guests will tell you that it is the best wedding they have ever been to. That was certainly the case for all my guests... and of course for me, but I'm biased! :)

    The bar setup, the tables, from first to last detail, these guys REALLY know what they're doing. You do not have to think twice. If you do a tasting, you will know that there's absolutely NO competition. Work with Janet to figure out what to serve and what to hold back on, and make it work in your price range, because there is no comparison!

    Going to Stage 6 for our wedding I did not have the option of bringing in another caterer. We had to use Abigail Kirsch, which i had heard good things about. I was worried because there was no food tasting! The food turned out to be amazing, but if i had to critique one thing the portions were small. Eric Hoffman was our banquet coordinator at Stage 6 and he was so great there was no need for a party planner. He took care of all the room details and made sure everything was in order and ran smoothly. If you are booking a party at Stage 6 make sure you request Eric!

    I really loved this food. It was great for the value and people even took some home with them. I loved their sausage and peppers. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer in the NY area.
