We recently had the pleasure of working with T&L Catering for our tented wedding reception on June 6th, 2024, and we couldn't be more delighted with the experience. From the moment we contacted T&L, Tom was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and quick to respond to all our needs and questions. The team at T&L went above and beyond to ensure that our lunch reception was absolutely perfect. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food, which was beautifully presented and exceeded all expectations. The vino chicken was one of our favorites! The service was spectacular, with the staff being attentive, professional, and friendly throughout the event. We are extremely grateful for everything T&L did to make our special day unforgettable. We would highly recommend them for any event or wedding. Thank you, T&L Catering, for making our wedding reception a truly memorable occasion. -Jackie & KethanJackie Lynn Valdez
Delicious food. Great service and were able to get a lot for our money it was well worth every penny. They were very professional and extremely organized. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Everyone enjoyed the food at our wedding on May 4,2024. We did the station buffet so there was a little bit of everything for everyone. My wife is Colombian and her family even said that the empanadas were very delicious.Taylor Albinson
Our wedding day was a perfect day. T&L knows what they are doing. The crew did a masterful job of setting up and preparing the food. The staff were very professional and patient with the guests. Stephanie was amazing and took care of my wife and I. The food was amazing and the bartender was excellent. I would highly recommend T&L Catering! We would definitely use them again in the future. Thank you again for making our wedding day special.Christopher Beaty

Our wedding was made truly incredible by T&L Catering. From the moment we booked with them, Tom and Pamela were incredibly helpful and attentive. They guided us through the menu selection process and ensured that every detail was taken care of. On the big day, the food surpassed all expectations. Many of our guests complimented the delicious dishes, which were expertly prepared by Chef Leon. Jaci, our onsite coordinator, went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly throughout the night. Her attention to detail and dedication to making sure we were taken care of did not go unnoticed. Overall, T&L Catering exceeded our expectations and played a significant role in making our special day unforgettable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch catering services.Klaudia
Amazing! Everyone from start to finish was so professional. Tom and Pam were so helpful in planning and choosing what would be best for my event. For the event itself (60th birthday bash), they were wonderful. The staff arrived early, they were so attentive to detail and so accommodating. They were really lovely. The food was delicious! And the presentation was beautiful. All of my guests were so impressed. I would definitely recommend T&L catering to anyone. Stellar!L P
T & L in my opinion is the best caterer in the area. We ordered for 40 people for a recent birthday. There were loads of options at reasonable prices. Their delivery fee was SO reasonable and they spent an hour setting everything up. The food was delicious and plentiful. I will absolutely use them again.Fredy Reyes
Would highly recommend T&L catering. They were extremely easy to work with, did exactly as planned, and everyone loved their food and service. Tom was always available to chat about my ideas and brought all of my visions to life. Would definitely use them again!Marissa Glassman
Tom and his team are amazing. Jaci our maitre'd went above and beyond to help us ay our wedding. We didn't hire a day of coordinator but our wedding went well. They also helped with setting up our diy decors. They brought us food and drinks while we were having our pictures taken after the ceremony. The food was amazing! Thanks so much. I'm so glad to be working with you.D Iman
On behalf of my team of 250+, we're so grateful for T&L! We hosted a company BBQ last month and T&L took care of us very well! There were a lot of moving parts that day but the one thing I didn't have to worry about were the food/drinks. Not only were they so attentive and communicative with me throughout the duration of our event. But the food was DELICIOUS! People were going back for seconds, me included! đ The ribs and mac and cheese were my fav but all of the food was good! Thank you T&L, we'll definitely be in contact again next year! đBarry Holmes
Really enjoyed working with T&L Catering for my daughter's bridal shower. Food was excellent and service was great! Would highly recommend them.Theresa Dyer
We used T&L catering for our June 2023 wedding and could not be happier with our decision. Working with T&L was one of the easiest parts of planning our wedding and we felt confident in our decision always. The food was amazing and so much for the price as well. Highly would recommend working with them, Tom and his family are incredible!jamie giordano
Special thanks to T&L for catering our holiday brunch. They were easy and efficient to work with, provided so many options and arrived on time to set up!Nicole Gronbeck
From start to finish T& L were wonderful. Tom, Stephanie and crew were professional and courteous. They did a beautiful job. Food was amazing. Service was perfect. S They really made our grand opening event special. I highly recommend T & L for whatever occasion.Jamie O'Brien
This past Saturday, January 6th, we had my daughter's Sweet Sixteen at The Grand in Linden. I can't say enough about the staff at T&L Catering. Pam, Linda and Leo were patient and understanding with my questions and were quick to respond from the moment we booked the venue. The most important for me was taking my daughter's fish allergy very seriously. They changed their fry oil to accommodate us and that is very rare in the restaurant/catering business. On the day of the event the staff on premises; Lisa, Leo and Joe and their staff were professional and despite having snow that day, everyone was there to help in any way they could. The food was amazing and plentiful. The room at The Grand is lovely and I would definitely work with T&L Catering in the future. Thank you, T&L and The Grand staff, for making my daughter's Sweet Sixteen a successful and memorable experience.Maria Manganaro
T&L is a family owned and run business and THE caterer to reach out to for any event! They recently catered my wedding, 6.2.24, at the James Ward Mansion and my guests could not stop talking about the amazing food! Tom and the team were very easy to communicate with. They made our options clear and were easy and flexible working with us regarding guest who had dietary restrictions, and adding on last minute extras. Jackie was our primary contact on the day of and she was simply amazing. She kindly made my husband and I plates and brought it to the bridal suite to make sure we got a few bites in before our first dance and all the commotion; and she consistently checked in on us to make sure we had everything we could need. I can not thank them enough for helping to make my dream wedding come true. I will be sure to us them in the future for all my events!Arielle Rottman

T&L was a pleasure to work with. They were responsive, professional, and detail oriented. The food was delicious and the staff at the venue were incredibly helpful. We would definitely recommend using them.Wendy
I canât write or speak enough praise about T&L Catering! We have been using T&L for so many of our special occasions, events, and holidays. Their food has consistently been extremely bountiful and absolutely delicious! Their packages are so hard to choose from because they offer so much variety! But you will never go wrong regardless of what you select!! Everything is so yummy! My mom loves cooking for the holidays- refuses to let anyone bring any food or even worse (to her), cater from a restaurant. âNothing beats home cooked foodâ she says! But the last few years have been physically challenging for her. This year, I asked her if we could cater Christmas from T & L and she didnât hesitate with her approval!! She was so happy and relieved when she saw all the delicious food from T & L. And the staff and owners are the sweetest and so accommodating. From ordering to delivery- they make the process easy and pleasant every step of the way! We will continue to use T&L for many more special occasions and holidays!Tania Stewart
T & L makes having a party the easiest! Linda is wonderful through the ordering process and delivery and set up is always on time and done perfectly. Really, the food is one less thing I had to worry about and it is always delicious. Everyone always asks where itâs fromâŚthe best place aroundâŚT & L! Definitely our familyâs go to!Danielle Roach
We had an excellent experience with T&L Catering for our âJack & Jillâ Baby Shower. Their attention to detail and impeccable service made our event unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every guest, especially this mom-to-be, felt incredibly special and well taken care of. From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations. We will gladly use their services again! Thank you all so much!April Delucca
There are not enough words to describe how wonderful an experience it was working with Tom to cater a Passover Seder for over 150 adults. This event required specific menu options and some logistical hurdles that Tom, Leo and the staff onsite handled beautifully. The food was delicious and the staff was attentive. People are still talking about how wonderful everything was. I couldnât thank T&L enough for making the planning process so easy and a pleasure to work with. Thank you!Jennifer DePierro

Our family is so grateful. Sadly, we needed their services for a repass. We rented Mount Carmel hall in Berkeley Heights . It was the best decision I made that week ! The staff were very professional and friendly. The food was amazing, and the trays were never empty. We even took the leftovers home for the families that were grieving. 100% will use them next time, hopefully for a happier reason.Cathy Carone
T&L did an amazing job catering our wedding, that our guests are still bringing up the food! Not only did all of the food look and taste great, we were well taken care of by the MaĂŽtre D' Stephanie. From making sure our wedding party had some snacks before the ceremony, to keeping our food plates and drinks full the whole night, she really exceeded expectations!Will Ehrhardt
I just had a party catered by T&L and they were extremely professional, provided great setup service and the food was stellar! Not only did they make my day easy, they made my guest very happy because everyone loved the food. Thank you T&L it was a hit!!!Linda Vaughn
We truly had a wonderful party because T&L Catering's staff was so attentive and helpful. They did a wonderful job of setting up the table linens and preparing a signature drink I had asked for with edible glitter! During the party I spilled some food on my white dress, and T&L's chief of staff was so helpful in helping me get the stain out immediately! She was always asking if me or my family members needed anything. Everything was well coordinated timing out the appetizers, to entree, to dessert. Our guests enjoyed so much and were asking where the food was from after the party. They truly made my party memorable.Sneha Chandrasekaran
We recently hosted my husband's 50th birthday party at James Ward Mansion in Westfield. We chose T&L for the catering. Tom was absolutely wonderful to work with. We wanted an elegant sit down dinner that was very detailed on how we wanted things to flow and look like and they delivered! Jaci was our Maitre d who was very lovely, informative and attended our guests needs and accommodated everyone. We cannot thank Jaci enough for making our event flawless and memorable. Lisa the bartender was great and all the staff who were there that night were all wonderful. Thank you Tom and the team for making my husband's milestone party memorable! If you ever want to host at James Ward Mansion or anywhere else in NJ T&L Catering is the place to go! Kind regards Mulki & DanMulki Osterberg
Had my daughters sweet sixteen party with T&L catering. The food was great. I had many compliments from everyone. Staff was great and attentive. I recommend them without a doubt.L Laboy
T & L Catered an event for over 100 Autism Moms and they all said how much they loved the food! We had lots left over too, so there was more than enough to feed the crowd. Highly recommend and we will use them again at our next event.Robbie And Me
T&L Caterers did an amazing job with our company luncheon. This marks the second year that we have used them at our company, although I have personally used their catering services in the past. And as always, their food and their service are amazing! Thank you, T&L Caterers!Walter Avena
T&L catered our wedding and we could not have asked for a better crew. Our guests raved about the food, which was incredible and so plentiful. A massive shout out to Jaci who ran the whole show like clockwork, took such great care of us and was just a joy to work with. We will be using these guys again without a doubtDarren Watson
T&L Catering went above and beyond for our event! The presentation of the dishes was not only visually stunning but also reflected the high-quality ingredients used. The attention to detail and professional service truly elevated the overall experience. Our guests couldnât stop raving about the delicious and diverse menu.Wil Belloso
T and L catering was great! Every time I called with a question there was someone to answer my questions. Pam, help me decide on the menu and appetizers and help me through the whole process of putting it all together to fit my party. They made it so easy. The food was great and I had many people comment about how good it was. The server was a joy to work with and helped run the show so I could enjoy my . Bonus was I had so much food left over! That only would I use them if I have another party, but I will tell anyone I know having a party to give them a call. Not one complaint here!Catherine Wilson
I found T&L Catering through our wedding venue, James Ward Mansion, for our wedding in June 2024. From beginning to end, T&L was a warm but professional presence while planning our wedding. Although I cannot recommend James Ward due to several errors made by their staff, working with T&L was the silver lining during a stressful process. I communicated with Pam and Tom Tavalaro and their chef (sorry that I'm forgetting his name!) leading up to our event. They answered our many questions with care and provided such great information whenever we needed it. On the day of the wedding, they surprised us with a few extra dishes, including one that incorporated my husband's Caribbean heritage. Because our venue required a room flip, their staff also set up our table place settings and made everything beautiful. They were so thoughtful -- I definitely recommend them.Jaryn

We are so happy we went with T&L catering for my sisters bridal shower. The food and service was AMAZING. They have a large menu of selections to choose from which was nice. We received many compliments from our guests! Such a great team as well.Claudia Rusin
This was my family's first time catering with T & L Catering. We were amazed with how professional the staff was and of course how delicious the food was. Our guests were impressed!!Sharon Gianneschi
Ordered for Christmas dinner. the food came cold the day b4 with instructions for heating. Everything was amazing and flavorful. My one critique was The sirloin roast was a bit tough and even hard to slice... Maybe we just got a tougher cut of the meat but the flavor was still on point. T&L also catered my baby shower breakfast. Food was amazing! Will def be my go to for catering. very professional.michelle reuben
T&L catered our backyard wedding reception and they were FANTASTIC. We had a brunch buffet but they were still able to provide an hour of passed hors d'oeuvres for us, and they made everything feel elegant and move smoothly. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our guests raved about the food! The whole team day-of was spectacular and made sure that our guests had a great time and that my parents' kitchen and backyard were in beautiful shape at the end of the day. It was especially helpful that Tom contracted the tent vendor and the bartender as part of our total contract with T&L - having all three services under one umbrella made the management of the event so smooth. They also took all of my concerns about allergies and food intolerances seriously - we had guests coming with gluten intolerances, nut allergies, Passover restrictions, dairy sensitivities, you name it. Not only did Tom help us create a menu that made sure everyone could enjoy the brunch, he also made sure that everything was clearly labeled on the day. I cannot recommend T&L catering highly enough - they are a great local company, deliver amazing service, and provide simply spectacular catering. Thank you T&L!Maggie Hagen-Murad
T & L catered for the party at our home, and they exceeded our expectations. Tom was easy to communicate with. The staff that took care of our party was phenomenal, including a driver who dropped everything in the morning. They were punctual, courteous, positive, and kind. The food was terrific. Our guests enjoyed it so much! The amount of food was generous. I'll be using them for my other parties in the future. Thank you for making it special!Dariya Golan
T&L Catering is an outstanding catering company to work with and made our wedding day incredible. We worked directly with both Tom and Pam throughout the planning process for our wedding, and they could not have been more helpful and accommodating when it came to making our day amazing. The amount of food/dining options they offer for a wedding reception is immense, and there are no wrong choices when it comes to your decision. Our guests raved about the selection and quality of the food â from cocktail hour to dinner to dessert, everything was outstanding. Everyone says that itâs so hard for the bride and groom to eat at their wedding reception, but our maitre dâ Georgeanne made sure that wasnât the case, making sure that even though we were constantly running around talking to our guests, there was food ready for us and on our table at all times, she was absolutely tremendous. Overall, we canât recommend T&L enough â their level of service from the planning process through the day of our event was unmatched, and the food was spectacular, theyâre the best!Michael Yard
Great to work with. Very quick to respond and very friendly staff! Food was good and had a lot of it. All of our guests were complementing the food and asking who it came from. Highly recommend T&L for catering.Stephen Allen
