Our Brooklyn Catering

Brooklyn Catering by Susan’s Kitchen

Brooklyn events don’t follow a formula. Some unfold in brownstone backyards, others in church halls, shared workspaces, art studios, or rooftop terraces. Whether you’re hosting a wedding in Prospect Park or a corporate lunch in Downtown Brooklyn, your catering should work with the pace of the borough — not against it.

Borough-Focused, Flexible, and Built Around You

Susan’s Kitchen brings food, timing, and flexibility together with local awareness and calm planning. We cater weddings, celebrations, and work events across Brooklyn with menus that suit the moment — not just the headcount. Whether you're looking for drop-off trays, full-service staff, or something in between, we build around your space, schedule, and energy.

Events We Cater Across Brooklyn

We’ve served weddings in Red Hook, baby showers in Bed-Stuy, office lunches in Greenpoint, and nonprofit fundraisers in Carroll Gardens. Our team is used to navigating Brooklyn’s mix of classic venues and unconventional spaces, offering support no matter how formal or laid back your event is.

• Weddings, rehearsal dinners, and post-ceremony brunches
• Birthdays, retirements, baby showers, and anniversaries
• Company lunches, client mixers, and agency events
• Community gatherings, school programs, and fundraisers

If you’re planning a personal celebration, our social events catering is a helpful place to start. For weddings, we recommend exploring both our Brooklyn wedding catering and the main wedding menu for buffet, plated, and cocktail-style service options.

Corporate teams looking to feed staff or organize internal events can learn more at our Brooklyn corporate catering page. We offer service that adapts to your team’s schedule and supports everything from casual lunch setups to end-of-year client events.

Menus That Fit the Space and the Schedule

Brooklyn spaces are creative. Some are wide open. Some are tight. Some events move fast, others take their time. That’s why we offer menu formats that match your event’s flow — not just a standard catering timeline.

Our drop-off platters are ideal for casual birthdays, after-school events, or small office lunches. Everything arrives hot, clearly labeled, and ready to serve. For teams that need quick distribution, our boxed lunches keep things tidy and fast-paced — no setup required.

Planning something more social? Start with passed hors d’oeuvres to add flow to cocktail hours, gallery receptions, or networking events where guests prefer to mingle.

Rentals and Setup That Keep Things Flowing

Not every Brooklyn venue comes fully prepared for catering — and that’s where we come in. Whether you’re hosting in a backyard, a converted loft, or a community hall, we can supply what you need to keep the event moving.

Our equipment rentals include warming stations, serving tables, beverage dispensers, and basic presentation setups. We deliver everything in advance, and pick it up after — so you’re not stuck coordinating logistics when the event’s over.

If you’d rather not manage service during your event, our full-service catering provides trained staff to handle setup, guest flow, refills, and cleanup. From casual celebrations to structured programs, we adjust to the format and help you focus on your guests.

Personal Touches and Venue Planning Help

Some events need a signature. Whether that’s a themed station, a family-style table, or a dessert bar, we can help you design a menu that feels like you. Our action stations and themed catering include tacos, pasta, brunch, and more — served hot, with style, and always tailored to your setup.

If you’re still choosing a location, our venue guide includes Brooklyn-friendly spaces that work well with our catering style. We’re also happy to coordinate with your venue directly to make sure setup, timing, and kitchen access all go smoothly.

Citywide Service With Local Timing

Brooklyn traffic, parking, and venue access can be unpredictable — but we’ve done this before. Our delivery team knows how to navigate borough timing, loading zones, and last-minute layout changes without missing a beat.

Whether your event is on a Saturday morning in Prospect Heights or a weekday evening in Williamsburg, our borough-wide catering services ensure that timing, staffing, and menu quality stay consistent no matter the neighborhood.
