When I thought about what kind of food we wanted for our upstate New York wedding at Gather Greene, I knew I wanted something farm to table and family style. We looked at several vendors, but nothing felt quite right until we found Fancy Girl. Living in California, and planning the wedding during the height of the pandemic, we ended up having to book catering before even tasting the food. Because our planners hadn’t worked with Fancy Girl before, we relied heavily on Wedding Wire and Knot reviews when making our pick and I’m not going to lie and say I wasn’t a little nervous doing so. So I’m here to tell anyone in even remotely the same boat that you WILL NOT REGRET hiring Jeanette and her team. When I wanted to create an off menu salad to celebrate the tastes of summer (heirloom tomato, peach, basil, and burrara), Jeanette didn’t even blink. She just created the freshest, most delicious salad with the ripest tomatoes and peaches from nearby farms, and creamiest burrata I’ve ever had. When we saw the menu and saw pigs in a blanket and a shot of beer, we thought how freaking cute is that (spoiler alert: our guests LOVED them and couldn’t get enough of the tiny beer mugs). We’ve heard more times than we can count now how our food was the best meal anyone has ever had at a wedding, and while we couldn’t agree more, I’d also add that frankly it was just incredible food period. I’d pay good money any day of the week for the cedar planked salmon or tender short ribs or fusilli that must have had crack in it I couldn’t get enough. And though we originally intended to have only s’mores for dessert, when Jeanette tossed in some caramel bars during our eventual tasting, we couldn’t help but add those to the menu. They were, in a word, delicious. There’s so much more I could say, like what a big smile we had on our faces when our planners told us Jeanette was foraging the day before for our wedding, or how the food was not only incredibly delicious but also INSANELY beautifully presented, but I’ll try to keep this brief and just say Fancy Girl helped make our day positively perfect and anyone would be lucky to have Jeanette and crew on their team. -

Still Getting Compliments on the Food
When we booked our wedding venue, the owner told us the first thing we needed to do, before even calling our parents, was call Fancy Girl and book Jeanette. He was right, and I am so glad we did! More than anything else about our wedding, our guests are still raving about the food weeks later. From cocktail hour to dinner, to dessert, to late night snacks, everything was perfect. The food, the service, the presentation were all above and beyond. Jeanette was a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her enough. -

Every single guest we have seen since the wedding has made a point to RAVE about the food we had. Fancy Girl did an incredible job at taking our random thoughts and ideas and creating a cohesive meal that was able to accomodate every one of our dietary restrictions, from a vegetarian who is also allergic to mushrooms, to gluten free needs. Most impressively, not a single person with dietary restriction felt like they were missing out in any way. Everything that made it onto the table was fresh, delicious, and perfectly presented. Jeanette also took excellent care of our vendors, and was so good about keeping everything on schedule and running smoothly. -

Hands down the best food ever - Jeanette and her team are amazing! My husband and I are major foodies and we knew the food had to be the best thing at our wedding at Crested Hen Farms in High Falls NY. We had an unfortunate circumstance and had to get a new caterer less than 2 months to the wedding. And we realized it was a blessing is disguise because Jeanette was amazing and her food and her service exceeded our expectations. She was so helpful and responsive throughout the whole process and we couldn't be happier. She was flexible and open with our menu options and helped us tailor the whole menu to the way we wanted it.
Every single one of our guests compliment the staff and food and said how AMAZING the food was and still continues to compliment 2+ weeks after the wedding. Our menu consisted of an amazing beet/granola salad, rosemary lemon chicken (best chicken I ever had, no joke) Hanger steak (omg amazing), smashed potatoes, cornbread and roasted carrots with pumpkin brittle. The desserts, WOW - chocolate milk shooters with mini chocolate chip cookies, bourbon popcorn brownies & carrot cake whoopie pies -they were all amazing!!! But not only did the food taste good, the plating was so beautiful presented and went perfect with our rustic romantic theme.
I can go on and on but if you book Jeanette and Fancy Girl Catering, you will not be disappointed and it will be the best decision you make for your wedding. -

Amazing amazing amazing! My husband and I were really focused on having amazing food at our wedding and not typical "wedding" food and Jeanette and her team DELIVERED!
Im still hearing weeks after the wedding how amazing the food was. The steak for mains and the "mini hot dogs and beer shots" for cocktail hour were particular hits!
Jeanette was so great throughout the whole process and extremely flexible - we asked if she'd be able to use a protein not on her list (monkfish) and she not only accommodated to us but made it an amazing main meal!
Enough about the taste though - the LOOK! This is some of the most photogenic wedding food ever. Her plating is incredible and the addition of edible flowers is fun, vibrant and elevates every dish to a work of art!
From the first email when she was so responsive and helpful to our tasting I KNEW she was going to be incredible and I really couldn't recommend her more! -

"The best wedding food we've ever had!"
"The best wedding food we've ever had!", is what we hear most from people after our wedding in Upstate, NY in October 2018. We were on the verge of a catastrophe after having a falling out with our first caterer only a few months prior to our wedding date over unexpected charges and exorbitant prices. Jeanette was there to pick up the pieces. She provided an excellent tasting on short notice, worked within our budget, and was transparent about ALL costs upfront. She went above and beyond the call of duty by working hand-in-hand with the rental company to ensure we had all we needed for our wedding, which took a lot of the stress off of us. Her menu was nothing short of incredible, from all of the plentiful options, it's great taste, the beautiful presentation, and on. Best of all, it was all organic, farm-to-table food, exactly what we envisioned people enjoying at our wedding. I cannot say enough great things about Jeanette and her team (wonderful day-of coordination, to boot) and highly recommend booking for your next wedding/big event in NYC/the Hudson Valley region! -

Margarita Sent on 10/17/2016My husband and I wanted to have a vegan wedding - which we knew would be a challenge! One of our top priorities whilst planning our wedding was to have good food - we had been to too many weddings where the food was mediocre or sometimes inedible. We were introduced to Fancy Girl Table via my wedding planner, and boy were we glad she recommended them. Jeanette and Margaret gave us a tasting that was beyond our wildest imaginations. We knew immediately that they would be the ones to cater our special day. Jeanette and Margaret were both so unbelievably accommodating - there were several times that they went out of their way to meet me at my office - they even hand-delivered cake samples to me because I couldn't get away from work. They made the entire catering process smooth and easy. When the big day came, our guests were floored - even the skeptical ones. Every single guest commented on how good the food was - we even heard some people say they could go vegan! When my husband and I walked around to greet guests, we couldn't help but notice how everyone had cleaned their plates. Jeanette worked with us to customize the perfect menu that left everyone satisfied and impressed with how delicious vegan food can be! Fancy Girl Table made our wedding day even more spectacular than either of us could have imagined. THANK YOU!!!!

User1534840 Sent on 02/14/2014Truly truly amazing, delicious, impressive, BEAUTIFUL, creative food --and charge half of what the other folks will charge you. I work in PR and events in NYC and I know every caterer in the tri-state area, and Fancy Girl is truly a step above. By the way, look at her profile on The Knot --you'll see how every dish she looks like it stepped out of the pages of a magazine...gorgeous.
If you want people to TALK about the incredible, delicious food at your wedding, Fancy Girl is your caterer! People never talk about how amazing food is at wedding because it's usually...not amazing.
Here are just a few of the reasons why they are the BEST caterer:
-I had some ideas for what we wanted that we gave to Jeanette, Deanna, and her team at Fancy Girl, and they took it up about 5 notches...SO creative. We ended up doing family style with the most delicious Mac & Cheese, steak and other tasty dishes...(surprise late night snack: artisinal grilled cheese sandwiches that I still dream about)
-Fancy Girl is one of the few caterers that is organic/farm to table and uses local farms for the best ingredients; this means you're not getting mass produced chicken that's been frozen for 4 years (my worst fear!)
---they also specialize in vegetarian, organic, vegan food options... so tasty and amazing, your meat and potato-eating uncle won't even notice!
-I told her my budget and she was so lovely about staying within this; it's incredibly hard to find a caterer that isn't going to try to get you to spend even more
-Jeanette who runs Fancy Girl ONLY hires lovely, super professional staff...so everyone at my wedding SO friendly, and sweet...and went out of their way to make me feel so special for the wedding
-Want super unique touches like edible flowers on all of your dishes? check.
Can't recommend Fancy Girl enough...
