Great communication, service and food. jasmine bermudez

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 couldn’t stop raving about the delicious and diverse menu. Wil Belloso

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

We used T&L catering for our wedding at the James ward mansion. Tom, Pam and jackie are just amazing so accommodating they took the stress out of the typical catering experience. Our wedding guests were very pleased with the service and food. We also used ShopRite liquor store in Westfield recommended to us by Tom and they were great!! Thank you so much Shalan Joyce

We had an excellent experience with T&L Catering for our “Jack & Jill” 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

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! Marguerite Murad

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 it’s from…the best place around…T & L! Definitely our family’s go to! Danielle Roach

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

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 couldn’t thank T&L enough for making the planning process so easy and a pleasure to work with. Thank you! Jennifer DePierro

food was delicious & service was great!! Elizabeth Mendoza

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.

Used them for Repass for my husband. Everyone loved the place, food and service!! Would definitely use them again. Sharon Davis

T&L catered our 2 day conference for 60+ employees. The food was delivered on time and was fantastic and plentiful. Enough to feed some of the venue staff after our lunch was over and unopened trays to take home as well. I’ll use them again. Very happy with our choices. K Mac

Not enough words can express how wonderful Tom and his team at T&L Catering are. I have used T&L at numerous events, from private parties to networking events. The staff is always courteous, professional, and a dream to work with and the food is INCREDIBLE! Every time I have used T&L for catering, the food gets rave reviews from everyone. The displays the team puts together are beautiful, the food is always fresh, and they go above and beyond when it comes to the setup and, most importantly, the cleanup of an event. One of my favorite parts about T&L is that they do events that range from the most intimate affairs to large, upscale weddings and banquets. Whether you are planning for indoors or outdoors, Tom and his staff are always prepared. I cannot wait to use them for the next event. Daniela Palme

A friend recommended T&L Catering, this friend has been using them for all her family events and had all great things to say about them. I decided to do a bit of digging since I needed a catering company to use for one of our biggest school fundraisers. After contacting several catering companies, T&L Catering was great from beginning till end. It was a breakfast full of am delights, all breakfast was amazing. Not only would we use them for our school events/fundraisers again but I personally would use them for my family and friends events. Highly recommend, very professional, on time for food delivery and communication with Tom was always on point. Thank you so much T&L Catering. Jelexsa DeJesus

We had a beautiful time. The service was great!! The food was really quiet delicious and the entire staff was delightful. Thank you elizabeth conde

I am currently at Taste of Linden and I had the absolute pleasure of trying T&L Catering’s pasta in cream sauce with sausage and mascarpone. This pasta is divine. The taste is well rounded, rich, and phenomenal to say the very least. Downright decadent. I’ve had seconds so far but I will definitely be going back for more..I can’t get enough!! Well done T&L Catering, best pasta I’ve tasted in a very long time. 10/10 recommend highly! Alana Villahermosa

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 — from cocktail hour to dinner to dessert, everything was outstanding. Everyone says that it’s so hard for the bride and groom to eat at their wedding reception, but our maitre d’ Georgeanne made sure that wasn’t 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 can’t recommend T&L enough — their level of service from the planning process through the day of our event was unmatched, and the food was spectacular, they’re the best! Michael Yard

Once again T&L delivered an amazing experience with THE BEST staff onsite and offsite. Planning with Pam and Tom the weeks leading up to our daughter's sweet 16 was a breeze and our party staff took care of every single detail that night. Food is always delicious and fresh. We love T&L and will definitely be planning our next party with them again! Dominick Rotondo

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

T&L Catering surpassed our expectations for our wedding! The food was incredible. We chose the 4 station option and would highly recommend. Our guests loved the variety and kept coming up to us complimenting the food. And the staff! They really enhanced our experience! Tom was so helpful with planning and coordinating all details up to the day of the event. Our maitre d, Stephanie, really put us at ease during our wedding. She was there for us during the ceremony and throughout the evening. Would highly recommend for any catering event! melissa remmert

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 & Dan Mulki Osterberg

June 2024 Graduation Party. There was plenty of food and all of our guests loved the BBQ buffet. The office staff was great and everything was delivered on schedule as promised. I definitely recommend and will use them again. Jim H

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 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

I’ve hired T&L Catering for my baby shower and son’s first birthday, and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided.

Tom was wonderful to work with, from the very beginning when we first reached out, to the day before our wedding with last minute questions. My husband and I had our wedding at my family farm, and hired T&L for the food and the tent/chairs/tables. Everything looked incredible, and the food was delicious!! Tom works with you every step of the way, and has over 40 years of experience with event planning like this. On the day of, Stephanie was our Maitre D for our wedding, and was marvelous. She made sure we were fed, served us dinner so we didn’t have to get up, and made all of our guests feel welcome. The bartenders and all of the staff were awesome too. I couldn’t believe how everything came together so wonderfully. Hire T&L! They are very professional, nice, and amazing to work with for wonderful, quality events that are above and beyond. Thank you Tom, Pam, and everyone else for your hard work and making our wedding day so special and memorable for us. We had the best day!! Anna Marshall
