    a fantastic caterer

    Ms. Lucy’s Kitchen is a fantastic caterer. First and foremost, the food was delicious. But more than that, the planning process was fun and easy, and the cooking and serving process went off without a hitch and all dietary restrictions were accommodated seamlessly.

    Delicious food and spectacular drinks from EXTRAORDINARY people.

    Delicious food and spectacular drinks from EXTRAORDINARY people. It was an honor to work with Marc and his team at Miss Lucy’s Kitchen! When people are still talking about the food and drinks over a month later, you know they absolutely crushed it at the wedding. Our planner Kate gave us a list in the very beginning to help us search for different caterers…with the preface that we couldn’t go wrong with Miss Lucy’s. We decided to reach out, and from that moment on, it was like we gained another family member who was there throughout every single little step of the wedding process. Marc was outrageously accommodating to our every whim and want – he even drove to NYC multiple times to meet my husband to discuss details because we live in Pennsylvania and it was quite a hike for us to go back and forth to the Hudson Valley. He’s hilarious, extremely kind and caring, and when it comes to food…you just can’t beat him. We visited Miss Lucy’s Kitchen in Saugerties, NY frequently over our two-ish year long process, and every single time, he welcomed us with open arms, helped us figure out the details behind the food and the drinks…and jumped wholeheartedly into every other little detail you could possibly imagine including picking tables, chairs, different bars, and even helping us with floor plans and the logistics of the day. You seriously aren’t going to find another caterer that’s willing to be so involved in your big day – he’s beyond professional when it comes to getting everything done on time…and doing it well. Marc also knows a lot of the vendors in the area, and works well with them, so having him as a part of our wedding team was quite frankly one of the best decisions we made for that whole day and night. We cannot thank him and his team enough for everything they did to help us throw the biggest party of our lives. He welcomed not only us when we visited his restaurant from out of town, but our family members as well when we happened to bring them along. The food, the drinks, the service was always top notch – I wish I could give them more than five stars. Our family and friends devoured every morsel of Miss Lucy’s divine cuisine and pretty much ran both bars dry – the cocktails were out of this world! If you truly want an unforgettable experience, whether it is for the food, the drinks, the accommodations, or even the friendship you will inevitably form, do yourself a huge favor and work with Marc and Miss Lucy’s Kitchen! We are forever grateful…thank you Marc…sending our love – Rob & Ash xox

    The best food and the best people!

    If you are looking for phenomenal food and service in the Catskills look no further. Marc and his team are the absolute best. In the lead up to our wedding, Marc was incredibly helpful both with the menu and introducing us to other vendors (who were also amazing) all to ensure that everything was perfect on our wedding day. Working with Marc was the easiest and best wedding related decision we made. He takes weddings very seriously and by the end of the process you will feel like you have gained a friend. Since the wedding, my guests have repeatedly told me that it was the best food they ever had at the wedding and that the staff added to the fun atmosphere of the wedding by being both kind and engaging. I am so glad we can return to Miss Lucy's year after year to relive the deliciousness!

    Wedding food and service were awesome!

    Marc and his team were amazing! We picked a location that did not have a kitchen or even running water and we had several family members scare us into thinking that the food was never going to be good. Marc assured us that things were not going to just be good but in fact great and man was he right! To start, the appetizers were phenomenal and Marc's staff even made sure that myself and my husband got our own plate of everything so we didn't miss a bite! Then the dinner course did not disappoint and we had several people tell us that the dinner was not just good for wedding food, but an overall amazing meal! If you are looking for a caterer who can make amazing food no matter the location and has a team of people who know how to get the job done well then Miss Lucys is for you!

    Hire Miss Lucy's for your wedding -- NOW

    Where do we start with Miss Lucy's? I'm not sure I can go on describing all of the things, big and small, that Marc did for our wedding. Not only is he a great chef who offered us an array of vegetarian options, which all of our 150 guests loved, he takes great attention to detail and is always organized with lists ready to get things accomplished as soon as possible. Wherever possible he took things of my plate and dealt with them himself. Whether it was with my tent company or venue, both whom he was working with for the first time, he was patient, transparent, cost-effective, and completely independent and self-sufficient when appropriate. Marc is a no-bullshit guy with an intense personality, which you can certainly appreciate when planning your own wedding. We now consider him our friend, and look forward to eating his food again soon when we visit the restaurant.

    Shout-out to Marc's incredible staff as well. Carol rules! And everyone else was amazing that day too, helping with anything and everything under the tent and by the pool before food even began. They helped perfect the tables to my very specific standards, which I could not have done myself. Then, when things got rolling, as servers and bartenders, they were simply 100%. Thanks for everything, Marc & Miss Lucy's team. We had a perfect day.

    Marc and his team were nothing short of amazing for our wedding day! Everyone continues to RAVE about how delicious the food and drinks were. From the beginning, Marc helped us create the perfect menu to match our tastes. He easily accommodated our family-style request and his staff worked their TAILS off going up and down stairs to their food truck to deliver to our guests. It was truly unbelievable, the food was outstanding and the service was TOP NOTCH!

    Miss Lucy's is The Best

    We used Miss Lucy's to cater our wedding at The Kaaterskill three years ago and we still hear from family and friends about how good the food was. This year - for our anniversary - I called Marc to see if he'd be willing to ship us some food for our anniversary dinner. He said he would but he couldn't ship it because he was worried the food wouldn't stay fresh if shipped - and that he would be happy to drive it to us (two hours away). I tried to talk him out of it but he insisted. Our anniversary dinner was incredibly special - the food, delicious as always - and I can't think Marc and Miss Lucy's enough for going way above and beyond for our special occasion. We are and will continue to be lifetime fans!

    Marc and his team were easy to work with and really delivered. Everyone was raving about the food (the pork sliders and the salmon in particular). And the execution was flawless. Thanks for the lovely dinner, Miss Lucy's!

    Marc and his staff were amazing from start to finish. Our guests are still raving about all the incredible farm to table food served that day. From the insainly delicious in house smoked brisket to the wide assortment of mason jar desserts made from scratch. We can't say enough about the quality that goes into their cooking they use only the freshest ingredients ! Marc also handled all the equipment rentals and so many other details which really helped make the event go so smooth. He was always available and a pleasure to work with. His staff was extremely friendly and professional, going above and beyond to make sure all of our guests had the most memorable wedding experience. We highly reccomend Miss Lucy's Kitchen !

    We feel incredibly blessed to have had Marc and Miss Lucy’s cater our wedding. Marc was amazing throughout the process: responsive, calming, open minded and sharp - we now truly consider him a close friend. The weekend of our event him and his team were on point - from setup, amazing service, and most importantly DELICIOUS food. We’ve had countless people tell us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had - having dined at Miss Lucy’s and ‘Cue many times we weren’t surprised. Lastly Marc goes above and beyond - he helped us get beer and mixers for our rehearsal dinner and even did some last minute bartending. If Marc is available and willing to cater your wedding you should 100% BOOK HIM - we can’t recommend him enough! Thanks Marc!!!

    I can't say enough about Miss Lucy's Kitchen and Marc...Just book them for your wedding, you won't regret it! Marc is so detail-oriented and overly prepared, and the food speaks for itself. It's completely amazing. Our wedding menu was the perfect mix of bbq from 'Cue and fine dining from MLK. Our guests were raving and it was truly the first great wedding meal we've had.

    Marc was incredible throughout the entire wedding planning process--he was professional, responsive, helpful, and calmed me down multiple times during those anxiety-laden last few weeks before the wedding. The entire process was easy with Marc--he was very familiar with my venue and gave me lots of insight and ideas as to the best flow and set-up. And most importantly, the food was incredible. Not good for a wedding, but just plain good.

    We have been to the restaurant several times and loved it, and we knew Marc would be our caterer right after the first bite at our tasting--the food was phenomenal and the food we got at our wedding was just as good as at the restaurant. For people who eat out as much as my husband and I, we know our stuff. And Miss Lucy's has the stuff. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the food and mason jar desserts were--the salmon and the brisket... just incredible! We loved everything and working with Marc was a pleasure. We could not have pulled off our amazing wedding without him and all the fantastic staff from Miss Lucy's!!!

    We could not be more thankful that we were able to have Marc & his great staff from Miss Lucy's/Cue for our wedding at The Kaaterskill. Marc truly was our wedding planner/rentals coordinator/local area guide/therapist throughout the whole process... he knows how to put on a great party while making it his business to know the ins & outs of everything, (so you don't always have to.) Most of all, though, the food is just plain fantastic - fresh juices used to mix specialty cocktails, perfectly smoked ribs and brisket cooked on-site in the Cue truck, local roasted veggies and delicious salads, and all sorts of fun, amazing potted desserts - all of our guests (including restaurant professionals & foodies from NYC, LA, & San Fran!) raved about the quality of everything. Seriously, do yourself a favor and book Marc as soon as you can.

    Marc and his crew at Miss Lucy's were incredibly accommodating and made absolutely delicious food. When we first went in for a taste they gave us a bunch of amazing dishes and cocktails to try. Going forward Marc was so easy to work with and professional and on the day of everything went so well. People were so impressed with the food and drinks all night.

    We used Miss Lucy's Kitchen to cater our wedding this summer and it was a wonderful experience. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a caterer. Mark was extremely organized and easy to work with in preparation for the wedding.

    He handled as much or as little as we wanted him to based on our preferences. He followed through on everything--including sound system, ceremony set up, all reception rentals, and incorporated our own table decorations on our behalf.

    The servers, bartenders, the whole staff were excellent. Couldn't have asked for a better experience on our wedding day. They did everything they could to make sure we were accommodated. And the food was spectacular. Like phenomenal! We were sold from our first bite at the food tasting. Many of our guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. I think everyone had 3 helpings of the brisket. A number of our friends have already visited the restaurant based on their experience at our wedding.

    I would love to throw another large party just to use them again!

    There are truly no words to describe the gratitude that I have for Marc Propper and Miss Lucy's. First things first: the food. Honest-to-God excellent food and drinks. Over and over people have said it was the best food they had ever had a a wedding. That is wasn't "wedding food" because it was too good. So there's that.

    However, beyond that, Marc was like my full service wedding planner, Pinterest page and surrogate Dad. He's the coolest guy, had the best suggestions, steered me clear of tacky, wastefully expensive mistakes and just at all times made me feel like I was in good hands. That he would take care of it all, and that I wouldn't have to worry or micro-manage. In itself, that peace of mind would have been worth the cost of his catering. But then we got killer food and drinks on top of that.

    Seriously, hire this guy. I can't imagine getting better beginning to end service. He's a real gem.

    Marc did a wonderful job catering our wedding reception and managing our event rentals. Pulling from his 2 restaurants, Miss Lucy's Kitchen and The 'Cue, he worked with us to create a delicious BBQ dinner buffet with signature cocktails, lovely passed appetizers, and some amazing pudding and pies for dessert (we opted out of a cake). His food is very quality, local, and many people have told us since the wedding how much they really enjoyed it, as wedding food is usually not that great! I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

    We chose Miss Lucy’s to cater our wedding reception in the Catskills. Marc and his team are phenomenal!
    The food, signature cocktails and craft beers were excellent. Two months later, our guests are still saying how great the drinks were and the dinner was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. There is no kitchen for catering on the property, but Miss Lucy has the 'Cue Truck (a mobile kitchen), so the food tasted fresh and not like it’s been reheated.

    We are very fortunate to have met and were able to work with Marc. He helped and guided us every step of the way and was accessible whenever we had questions or concerns. Marc is extremely experienced and has great suggestions for other vendors. He really helped us create the fun and festive wedding we envisioned.

    Marc Propper and his staff did an amazing job catering our wedding. The food was delicious - we got great feedback from all of our guests. His bartenders make wonderful and unique cocktails which were also a hit with our guests. In addition, Marc coordinated our rentals for the reception and ceremony perfectly, including a last minute tent when we were afraid it was going to rain. He worked with the staff at our venue seamlessly and really gave us our perfect wedding day. Couldn't have asked for better service.

    First and foremost, the food was amazing--from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the BBQ-style dinner to the desserts. We have received so many compliments on the food. They also made a special vegetarian entrée which was delicious. Secondly, working with Marc could not have been easier. He is very knowledgeable about putting on weddings and is familiar with a lot of resources in the area (florist, DJ, hair salon, etc.). He helped guide us through the process of planning a wedding while being completely receptive to all of our ideas. He met with us several times prior to the wedding (for two site visits and tasting) and was responsive to my many emails. One thing I really appreciated is that he stayed focused on what my husband and I wanted. We were the ultimate deciders--not other family members (i.e., moms). Marc's staff, the servers and bartenders, were professional yet easygoing and did a great job setting up our reception site. It looked beautiful. I highly, highly recommend Miss Lucy's and Marc.

    Marc Propper from Miss Lucy's / Cue Shack is the BEST. He deilvered tasty, attractive, elegantly displayed food using local and seasonal produce. He is responsive, flexible, has reasonable rates, impeccable taste, both visually and palette alike, as well as fun and easy-going. He took care of rentals (linens, chairs, tables, sound, all of it), servers, and everything food related from cocktail hour all the way through reception and desserts. His prices are very reasonable and our guests loved the food. We selected from his "Cue Shack" menu for main entrees and he worked with us on seasonal, colorful chilled sides to compliment the savory BBQ. It was presented extremely elegantly, all sauces on the side, full linens on the catering table, catering staff all very well manicured and professional. He was also so wonderful if I had an idea or concept change and while our guest list fluctuated. He was truly unflappable and accommodating and I couldn't have asked for a better catering partner for the wedding.

    Everyone at our wedding loved the food from Miss Lucy's. We served everything family style and the menu really reflected the feel of the whole night. We also loved the passed appetizers at cocktail hour. Marc Propper was beyond helpful throughout the entire process and went out of his way to help us deal with what turned out to be a difficult venue due to very specific and picky owners. We had a little bit of an issue on the day of with the amount of food that was being placed on each table but it seemed more like a communication issue with multiple tables being pushed together than an intentional oversight. Overall we were really pleased with the catering and really appreciated all that Marc helped us with and guided us through.

    Our wedding in the Catskills will be remembered by all as a very special day and we would not have been able to pull it off without the wonderful job done by Marc and his staff. Living and working in Brooklyn, our time spent organizing the wedding was limited but Marc was always there to answer our questions and give a helping hand as the day approached.

    Marc was genuinely engaged with the whole planning of our Upstate Barn wedding from when we first met. A great attention to detail, he not only supplied us with a great buffet, specialty cocktails, passed hors d'oeuvres and delicious desserts that all our guests raved about, but also his floor staff and their organization on the day was impeccable.

    What makes Marc's service and personality truly special is the way he helped us with the details of our truly memorable day; from sourcing the most amazing local musicians, providing catering at the last minute for the rehearsal gathering, and even supplying a runner for the bride!

    Marc Propper and Miss Lucy's Kitchen catered our recent wedding in Catskill, NY at the Kaaterskill Inn. The food was plentiful and exceptionally delicious; the staff was very professional and everything proceeded smoothly. Leading up to our wedding, Marc was generous with his time, speaking by phone, scheduling tastings and walk-throughs, chatting with us when we stopped by his restaurant in Saugerties (which, by the way, is excellent). He was very flexible in designing drinks and a food menu that we liked. Importantly, he was up on the phone with us two days before our end-of-May wedding brainstorming about heating the barn when the forecast was a crazy 45 degrees (!) and went out of his way the next day to pick up a heater for us. Highly recommended.

    Mark and Miss Lucy's were wonderful to work with. From the initial tasting to the day of our wedding, Mark made himself available to us, answering all of our many questions, and being flexible to accommodate what we wanted for our big day. Miss Lucy's food (and cocktails!) is beyond words - our guests are still raving about how tasty everything was. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Miss Lucy's is an absolute gem.
