A New York Catering Company

Susan’s Kitchen Catering and Events

Where Culinary Excellence Meets Unforgettable Events

About Us

For nearly three decades, Susan’s Kitchen Catering and Events has been at the forefront of New York City’s catering industry. Founded in 1995 by seasoned culinary professionals with a passion for creating memorable dining experiences, we’ve mastered our craft and earned our reputation as a premier full-service catering company. We’ve had the privilege of being part of momentous occasions for generations of families and partnering with top corporations and institutions year after year—a loyalty that testifies to the trust our experience inspires.

Situated in the vibrant heart of NYC, we specialize in corporate dining programs, elegant weddings, and sophisticated events that reflect our clients’ unique visions and values. From intimate gatherings to large-scale galas, we’ve successfully catered countless occasions, each time delivering the highest quality cuisine and impeccable service.

Catering Excellence, Deeply Rooted in Experience

Our commitment to exceptional catering service is grounded in decades of hands-on expertise. Our team of talented chefs, event planners, and service staff bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding of what it takes to execute flawless events. This extensive experience allows us to anticipate the unique needs and challenges of each occasion, adapt seamlessly to different venues and guest counts, accommodate diverse dietary requirements and themes, and execute time-tested processes that ensure a seamless experience.

Experience has taught us the importance of staying at the forefront of culinary trends while respecting traditions. Our chefs masterfully blend innovation and creativity with time-honored techniques, crafting menus that delight the senses and exceed expectations. We take pride in sourcing the finest, freshest ingredients to create dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious.

We also understand that one size doesn’t fit all. We’re not a massive corporation that churns out cookie-cutter events with little regard for your individual wishes. Nor are we a small operation lacking the resources to deliver excellence at scale. Susan’s Kitchen Catering and Events occupies the sweet spot—we provide the personal attention and dedication of a boutique firm combined with the expertise, vendor relationships, and operational capacity to handle events of any size.
