🩷Review from my 10.24.24 wedding!🩷 I wish I could give 1,000 stars for Krave Catering. My husband & I went with a venue that was mostly DIY, so it was our responsibility to bring in outside catering and alcohol. We decided to go with one of The Conservatory's preferred vendors, Krave Catering. What may have sounded like a big task to begin with, ended up being a br tasting, we immediately knew this was the place we wanted our food to be from. Molly and Kate were the two women we worked with, and they truly handled everything. Besides my husband and I picking out the food choices, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Molly and Kate were always on top of it. I would bug them with numerous questions and they were always so helpful in responding and getting back to me in a timely manner. We didn't have to worry about much - from the tables and chairs, the linens, the bar and wait staff, they handled it all! Our guests could not stop raving about the food, some saying it was one of the best wedding food they've ever had. Nothing felt better than to hear that. After all, the food is one of the most important parts of the day & we were beyond thrilled to hear all of the positive feedback. Kate sent us home with all of the leftover food and my husband and I were able to enjoy it all the next day. We did eat during our wedding because Kate made sure of It! We appreciated that tremendously especially after hearing from friends who have gotten married how "you barely eat at your own wedding"! Thank you Kate, Molly & the entire Krave catering team for truly making our wedding day run so seamlessly. I wish I could attach videos that my content creator captured of the cocktail hour spread, but I cannot attach videos here so I just screenshotted some still-shots! 🤍🍽️

If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would - especially Kate, who fully felt like my own personal day-of & maitre-D all in one. Krave's level of detail, planning & communication put my type-A brain at ease, so I was able to fully enjoy my day. All the way down to the little details, like working with my husband on our signature drink menu to asking what first drinks myself and my parents would like...plus, the food was DELICIOUS and with the family-style option, our guests had plenty to eat. I would hire them a thousand times over!!

We cannot say enough great things about Krave Catering! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. One of the things we loved most was how incredibly accommodating they were with various food allergies. They took the time to listen to our needs and created a menu that worked for everyone without compromising on flavor or quality. The food was simply amazing—every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly made with love. What really stood out to us, though, was how well-organized and communicative the entire team was. Kate and her team made sure everything ran smoothly, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing when it came to the food. They also personalized the menu to reflect our tastes, which made it even more special. We were thrilled that we actually got to eat at our own wedding (something so many people don’t get to do!). Plus, we were were so grateful to get leftovers to take home, which was such a thoughtful touch. We can't recommend Krave Catering enough. If you're looking for exceptional food, stellar service, and a team that truly cares, look no further. Kate and the entire team made our day stress-free and delicious, and we are so grateful for everything they did.

I can’t rave enough about Krave! They were absolutely fantastic! I’ve heard and gotten so many compliments! The food is absolutely delish. Kate is also incredible. She made sure we ate, had food to go and kept our drinks flowing! She rooms great care of us as well as the staff! I thought I had more photos to post but I posted what I had!

I don't even know where to begin, there are no words to accurately describe how perfect our experience was with KRAVE. We got married at the Conservatory at Sussex Fairgrounds on 9/15/24 and when it came to selecting a caterer it was a no brainer, we reached out to KRAVE and never looked back. We knew from the very first email exchange with them that we were in great hands, but as the planning process progressed we quickly realized that not only were we in great hands, but that this group of wonderful and talented human beings were going to singlehandedly make our wedding day the best day of our lives - and they did just that AND THEN SOME! The food was to die for, and they literally have something for everyone. They have so many packages and catering styles to choose from, and they are extremely accommodating when it comes to specific food item requests - they work with you to make your menu one that is personal to you as a couple and never let you forget that it is all about YOU. They also send you home with one of every item from your wedding at the end of the night which we thought was such a nice touch that I have never seen happen at a wedding before. While the food is out of this world, the people who make it all happen are even more incredible and truly leave a lasting impression. Molly was so sweet and had such a confident energy that made us feel confident in our decisions and made us feel like anything we needed was going to be taken care of. She really provided us with such a seamless experience and having those planning phone calls with her every few weeks/months were some of our favorite parts of planning. Kate is amazing at what she does, but an even more amazing human being! She truly cares about you and wants to be a part of making your wedding more perfect than you could have even imagined it yourselves. Having her there on our wedding day from start to finish was so comforting, she really took care of everything and anticipated every part of our day. Our guests still have not stopped raving about her, all my mom could talk about the next day was how kind she was and how Kate never let her go five minutes without a drink in her hand - which made my husband and I think, and we realized we never went to the bar!! Wherever we were, she would find us and bring us a water or our favorite drink and took such good personal care of us - it was truly so special. When we think about our wedding, we will always look back on our experience with KRAVE and their team with hearts full of gratitude. We can't wait to find every excuse we can think of to work with them again in the future. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our special day so perfect. If you want a wedding that is better than your wildest dreams, go with KRAVE.

I cannot recommend Krave Caterers enough. They helped make my daughter's renaissance themed wedding absolutely magical! Every moment flowed flawlessly into the next. Thank you, thank you Kate and the whole Krave team!!! The newlyweds and all who attended had a spectacular time! ❤️

10/08/2024 • Melissa H

If you are getting married at the Conservatory, the best choice that you could make would be hiring Krave as your caterer. Not only are they affordable, but they make the experience feel luxurious. From the start, they were in constant contact -- even organizing our rentals for us! My family was so impressed with their attention to our needs on our wedding day -- and, of course, the food was fabulous.

9/03/2024 • Heather J

Krave is absolutely the best, hands down!! They catered our wedding at the Conservatory at Sussex Fairgrounds. Kate, Molly, and the Krave team did an amazing job from beginning to end. They were wonderful to work with, very professional, easy to reach, and most important, the food was excellent—compliments are still rolling in from our guests. Kate made the day of completely seamless from set up to the end; everything was perfect on our special day thanks to the Krave Team and would highly recommend them.

7/31/2024 • Allegra F

We used Krave for our wedding at the Conservatory. The service we got was incredible. Kate was so helpful making sure my wife and I ate and always had a drink in our hand. She did the same for both sets of parents as well which was so nice. The staff was very helpful and the night happened with out any issues. They offer a wide selection of dishes and also can accommodate custom selections. All of the guests with food allergies said they were taken care of so well during the wedding. Thanks Krave!

7/01/2024 • Michelle M

Everyone at my wedding could not stop talking about how good the food was. Also we had a couple people back out last minute, so we had the typical goodie bag they send all couples home with and the food portions of the missing guests. So we’ve had a lot of Krave in the past week and their food is just so good. My husband and I are so obsessed with their chimichurri steak and their duck confit pasta. Also their service was just so incredible. Our drinks were always refilled and they always made sure we had everything we needed. They also did this for our parents. My parents could not stop gushing about how they felt so taken care of by Krave. It’s no wonder why almost every Conservatory wedding has Krave because they are truly the best.

5/22/2024 • Gabriela J

This catering company was just as amazing as everyone led us to believe. What really blew our expectations was the service this team provided. Kate was everywhere she needed to be and more, she not only provided excellent service to us but tended to our family as well. Thank you for making sure we were fed. An extra thank you to the bartender on the staff. Our guests had a blast and are still raving about the margaritas. Besides the amazing experience we had with them on the day of, this team made the preparations effortless. They were super responsive and accommodating to our needs. We were able to incorporate our polish wedding traditions and make the day ours. I'll be recommending them to anyone who wants to have a stress free and beautiful wedding.

4/29/2024 • Eshe K

Krave Catering was absolutely amazing! The whole staff is great! My family was so happy with the service and loved the food! From beginning to the end they have been such a great help and executed my vision just the way I wanted.

11/30/2023 • Sabrina S

Krave made our big day absolutely perfect. Not only was the food and drink amazing, Krave also assisted with the timeline of the whole day. We worked with Kate who made it her priority that my husband and I enjoyed ourselves the whole night. We always had a fresh drink in our hand and food set aside for us. Krave will think of all of those little details you forget- and we are so grateful that we chose them!

11/09/2023 • Brittany B

Stellar food, outstanding service. The family of the bride and groom were very well taken care of. The bride had a fresh drink -- whether water or alcoholic -- in her hand at all times. Felt very heard, as the staff listened to everything we had to say or suggest. Very much gave off a “family vibe” -- whereas every business loves to say that they’re “like a family,” Krave very much did make us feel like they were caring for us as family. Our guests are to this day still approaching us to compliment the food served at our wedding, and we’ve already recommended Krave to another couple planning their own wedding. The loveliest of people, really. You need them at your wedding!

11/08/2023 • Gianna K

Krave is INCREDIBLE! Kate and her team go above and beyond for their couples, and we owe so much of the success of our day to them! We've received SO many compliments on how good the food was and how attentive the staff was. They made the planning process so simple, and made sure that we were well-fed during our wedding and that we always had a drink in hand! There's no one better than Krave.

10/27/2023 • Claire R

Krave did such an amazing job with our wedding! Kate is absolutely phenomenal and every time we met with her I felt so confident that everything would be taken care of perfectly, and on the day of everything ran so smoothly. They do weddings at the Conservatory frequently and they know the ins and outs of how to make a wedding go well. The food was delicious. We chose family style and our guests seemed to enjoy that a lot. The food during cocktail hour was plentiful and amazing. They do a great job serving food that is both delicious and interesting. I would definitely choose Krave again and I highly recommend them! We used Shea Hoganson, who works at our venue, as our day of coordinator. She did an excellent job! By the time we arrived, everything was set up perfectly and Shea has great attention to detail. I don’t know of any issues or hiccups on the day of because everything was dealt with by Shea and the rest of the catering & conservatory staff before I ever found out about it. I would definitely recommend Shea to anyone planning to get married at the Conservatory

10/24/2023 • Dakota O

When I say there isn’t a better caterer out there, I mean it - it’s Krave. The entire team was phenomenal and organized, and Kate really helped make our dream come to life. She made sure we had moments alone, fed us food and refreshed our drinks, made sure we had everything we wanted & needed, and kept the day as seamless and delicious as possible. They also partner seamlessly with The Conservatory (our venue), and we couldn’t have asked for a better team.

10/16/2023 • Jennifer S

Amazing!!! The food was so good! Kate did a great job of making sure we had enough food and drinks all night. They did a excellent job decorating the space and helping with timing. They were very prompt in responding and very helpful feeling ready for the wedding .

9/19/2023 • Amanda M

Kate and the team at krave couldn’t have been any better! Great communication, excellent food, and were amazing the day of our wedding with service we can’t recommend them enough!! Absolutely loved them!

9/17/2023 • Marissa D

We were hesitant at first bringing a caterer into a DIY venue, but the moment we spoke to Kate from Krave, we knew we were in extremely capable hands. Choosing Krave was the best decision we could have made! They went way above and beyond our expectations, from attention to detail and calm demeanor, to waiting on us hand and foot the whole day. We received many compliments about the delicious food and the great service the staff provided. We were able to add an additional cocktail hour station 2 weeks before the wedding with no hesitation from Krave. One of my friends had an emergency and needed to leave after salad course. Krave provided them with a to-go bag 4 minutes later! Even our photographer asked who our caterer was so he could recommend them to future couples. Krave really made our day!!

8/16/2023 • Eve K

Our entire experience with Krave was remarkable. From the very start, through planning to our wedding day, the teams level of service is unmatched. Additionally, everyone is so friendly and helpful. It is so obvious that they truly care about your wedding day (or special event) and never miss a beat when it comes to the level of service they provide. Aside from the service, the food is incredible. Not only does it taste good, but the presentation is beautiful and the quantity is fantastic. Our guests can’t stop talking about how delicious the food was and how many selections we had during cocktail hour. The bar staff is also phenomenal. Our wedding would not have been half as great had we not used Krave. Seriously, don’t think twice and just hire them - you will not be disappointed.

7/19/2023 • Simone S

I can't speak highly enough about Krave and their services for our wedding. They are beyond just a catering company and I am still blown away by how beautiful their decorations and amazing their food was. After our first tasting, we knew we were going with them as our catering company because of how fresh the food tasted. The food on our wedding day tasted just as amazing! They were also able to cater to various food restrictions that our guests had and gave them custom plates during the reception. Kate and her team met with us virtually and in person multiple times to make sure they knew exactly what our vision was and delivered more than we could have expected. They helped set up a timeline with us and all the smaller details of the day were taken care of, like packing up the food for us at the end of the night and making sure we got to bring it home! Thank you again for everything <3

7/13/2023 • Michelle C

I got married June 17 and people are still talking about the food! Krave was amazing and helped my wedding day run so smooth. I got married at the conservatory at Sussex county fairgrounds they did amazing job. They sent us home with so much food at the end of the night that was great waking up the next day to eat everything. I had them use my grandmothers cookie recipe as one of our dessert it was a huge hit. I can’t recommend them enough. The bartenders were super fast and no one had to wait for a drink. The passed out so much food during cocktail that everyone was so full. They made sure myself and the groom had everything we need. We can’t wait to order trays of food of them during our next event.

7/08/2023 • Suzanne S

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Krave Caterers! Our daughter got married last month and her reception was held at the Conservatory at the Sussex County Fairgrounds. Kate and Anna spent a lot of time on the phone with us explaining everything - they never rushed us or made us feel like we were bothering them with all our questions. We met Liz at the tasting and she made it a special time with our daughter and future son-in-law. Kate spent a lot of time with my daughter and I when we did the walk through a couple months before the wedding. She was patient with us as we asked all sorts of questions and threw all kinds of ideas at her. She was also a wealth of information and suggestions. We had a last minute request to change one of the passed hors devours the week before the wedding and when my daughter texted Kate, Kate was quick to respond with “of course!” The actual wedding day reception was a dream! The attention to details was top notch. Everything was beautiful and the food was second to none! My husband and I were impressed with the personal attention we received during both the cocktail hour and the dinner hour. When we arrived at the Conservatory, my husband and I were met by Kate who had our drinks in hand, and Liz brought us plates of food so that we could mingle with our guests instead of spending time filling our plates during the cocktail hour. They checked on us and were also very attentive to the groom’s parents as well as the bridal party. I think what was really impressed me was the emphasis on making sure that not only were the bride and groom made to feel special, but also the parents! (I had never experienced this before with other venues and caterers.) From cocktail hour to dessert, the food was incredible! For days, my husband and I received texts and comments from friends about how amazing the food was. I can keep gushing, but one last thing. Towards the end of the evening, when my husband and I were exhausted, we asked Kate about a something that needed to be taken care of and she immediately told us not to worry about it, that she and her team were taking care of it and we were to just finish enjoying the evening of our daughter’s wedding. I could go on, but you get the idea - you can’t go wrong hiring Kate, Rich, Liz, Anna and the rest of the team at Krave to cater your event! Thank you Krave for a memorable time!

6/23/2023 • Taryn C

We got married on 6/16 at the Conservatory and we had the best experience with Krave. Kate and her team are absolute perfection at what they do. Guests have not stopped gushing about the food, service, and about Kate herself. She truly does it all and brings your vision to life like no other. She handled everything and anything that came up and is there for you every step of the way. We truly had a wonderful experience with Krave!!

5/31/2023 • Abia C

I had such a lovely time working with Kate! Not only was the food was absolutely delicious, but she and her team were so attentive and caring throughout the day. They had a great variety of food options, and everyone was so happy with the drinks. The staff members were friendly and really made us feel taken care of. They even brought food and drinks right to our seats, so we didn't have to get up. And let me just say, that cake was out of this world!

5/05/2023 • Ellie E

Krave Catering truly made our wedding day unforgettable! Anna and Kate were absolutely amazing to work with and I cannot imagine planning our wedding without them. The multiple services they provide are simply outstanding. Firstly, Rich the chef did an amazing job! The food was absolutely delicious and every guest was raving about the cocktail hour snacks, farmers table, and the variety of dishes served. Secondly, the cake they provided was not only beautiful, but also incredibly delicious. Everyone loved it! Thirdly, the bar service was top-notch, with a beautiful bar setup and amazing cocktail options. They even helped us calculate how much alcohol we needed to purchase. Krave Catering went above and beyond to accommodate guests with special diets and allergies. The level of service provided was exceptional and the happiness of our guests was evident throughout the entire event. Their rental services made our lives so much easier, from the easel to the backdrop and everything in between. And the day planner service provided by Kate was simply extraordinary. From 10 days prior to the wedding until the day of, Kate was always just a text away and answered quickly. She brought my vision for the wedding to life and managed the entire ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception flawlessly. She even made sure we had food in our bridal suite and packed up leftovers and open liquor to send back to our hotel. Krave Catering is extremely professional and I would give them 100 stars out of 5 if I could. If you're looking for perfection, look no further. They are the way to go. Thank you Krave Catering for making our special day even more memorable!

12/28/2022 • Maddie G

I don't even know where to begin with the above-and-beyond service we received from Krave on our wedding day. To say that Kate, her husband and her team were amazing would be an absolute understatement. The food was phenomenal and they had options for every palette, dietary restriction or preference. In addition, the food was abundant and fresh. The onsite staff was incredible and attentive, and all of our guests were so impressed with our selections and the service. Don't look further than Krave because you will absolutely not be let down!

11/15/2022 • Haley B

If we could give Krave Caterers 10 stars we would. From beginning to end of the entire wedding planning process, they helped guide us to ensure the wedding day was everything we could have dreamed of. We got married about a month ago now, and our friends and family are STILL talking about how amazing the food and service that Krave provided was. My husband and I are big foodies, so we were very passionate about selecting a caterer that made really yummy food. Krave is not your “typical wedding caterer.” They have so many options to choose from for cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert. A big crowd favorite was the Late Night Pizza Station and the end of the night! They also provided bartending services that were top tier, and they were extremely diligent about tending to our guests with food allergies. There was simply nothing to worry about on our wedding day with Krave. We couldn’t recommend Krave Caterers more!

11/07/2022 • Kyle V

Kate & Rich and their team were absolutely incredible. They took every idea I had and brought it to life. They all went above and beyond & made my day absolutely magical. I can't recommend Krave enough, they seriously were the most perfect team. The day was full of chaos and Kate is the best person to take it all on. I cherish everything they did for my husband and I that day.

10/22/2022 • Janaya B

This Is possibly the best experience I've ever had with a caterer. Kate and Rich (the owners) are some of the nicest people I've ever met, and they have AN AMAZING team. Anna helped answer Every question I had on a regular basis, (and there were A LOT) always a speedy response, and with so much patience and grace. They set everything up beautifully on your wedding day, and with how involved they were, you'd think they were actually coordinators. When I had my menu tasting, it happened my fiancé, Liz, and I. Liz really took the time to explain what we were eating, make sure we made notes or comments, and was every inch professional and experienced. We felt like we had rented out the restaurant to ourselves and had the BEST experience. When you get towards the day, they painstakingly go through every menu item, make sure anyone with allergies or menu limitations are taken care of, get to know you, feel your vibe, and work to your needs. On my wedding day Kate WAS LITERALLY standing there with me crying as I waited to down the aisle. I honestly feel like we would never have this experience for my wedding with any other caterer and could not have been happier. oh, and the food was absolutely delicious!

10/21/2022 • Samantha C

Kate and her whole team were absolutely INCREDIBLE to work with. The food was absolutely amazing and Kate was so helpful leading up to the wedding day to make sure everything would be perfect. The entire serving staff were super friendly and very attentive always making sure everyone had whatever they needed. Everything from the cocktail hour, entrees, dessert, and late night pizza were a huge hit and so delicious! We could not recommend Kate and the Krave team enough, they are amazing and will ensure that your wedding is absolutely perfect! We are so glad we got to work with them for our big day!

10/16/2022 • Brenna F

We worked with Krave for our 10.13.22 wedding and cannot say enough amazing things about them! From the first call, it was clear how organized, flexible and kind they were. We had multiple calls and meetings with them leading up to our day. Nothing could have prepared me for how incredible they are they day of. The food was to die for and we received so many compliments on how tasty everything was and the amazing service. Kate and her team added their own decor on top of what we had and set everything up for us so we did not have to worry about anything that day. They were incredibly efficient, accommodating and thoughtful, bringing us our own personal cocktail hour drinks and plates to the bridal suite so we could relax. During dinner, they allowed us to turn their “southern BBQ bar stationed dinner” into a seated family style dinner. Everyone was so happy with their meal and they even made sure we sat down and had a chance to eat. At the end of the night they broke everything down and packed all of our things away so neatly. The biggest thing that Kate did which went above and beyond was packing up some extra dessert and cake for my mom when we had mentioned in passing that she loved the desserts. It’s small things like that that set Krave apart. They also sent us back to our hotel after party with all of our leftovers which was so so nice. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Krave and they really were what made our day so perfect from start to finish!

9/27/2022 • Eileen W

I cannot say enough good things about Kate, Anna, and the entire Krave staff!! We received so many compliments on the food and how everything was set up on our wedding day! During the day itself, the Krave team was so attentive. We had several staff members come up to us to ask if we needed a drink, additional food, water, or truly anything at all throughout the entire night. They were all so incredibly friendly and professional. Krave does so much more than simply cater your wedding -- they were truly an integral part of our entire planning process. We got married at the Conservatory, a venue that Kate/Krave knows like the back of their hand. They sent us helpful information and guides to assist in the planning process, scheduled check-ins to review our menu/additional details, and helped us build out a site plan for our wedding. They also helped to make sure that everything was set up in the right place, and worked seamlessly with our florist, day-of-coordinator, and other vendors to make sure our day went according to plan. They were truly amazing and went above and beyond my expectations. On my wedding day, I didn't have to worry about a single thing other than having fun and getting married!! And a huge part of that is due to the Krave team -- I cannot recommend Krave enough!!

9/27/2022 • Jessica D

We would like to start off by saying how amazing the day turned out to be, we could not of done it with using Krave. The food was absolutely AMAZING! Our guest were raving about how delicious the food was! Kate was wonderful and so sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. We HIGHLY recommend using Krave Events Catering!! We can't thank the team enough for taking care of us and making the most important day of our lives perfect ❤️ With Love, The Woudenbergs

9/21/2022 • Chelsea W

The staff, cocktail hour, main course, desserts! We cannot even begin to how absolutely amazing everything was! The food was absolutely delicious, the guest loved it as well! Drinks- amazing! Staff, even better! I can honestly say you will not find a better caterer than Krave. They are all the sweetest people and genuinely care that your day is absolutely Perfect. 100% recommend them for any catering occasion!! Kate, Anna and Liz, thank you!!!

9/06/2022 • Danielle L

Kate & her team are absolutely amazing! From the beginning they have been nothing but helpful. We had our wedding at The Conservatory at The Sussex County Fairgrounds, and our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! Even the drinks were getting complements! Absolutely no complaints at all. We would host another wedding solely to work with Krave again.

8/31/2022 • Niki C

Cannot say enough to explain how truly amazing Kate and her team at Krave was. Our guest still talk about how awesome the food was, how beautiful the spreads were, and how grand all the food was displayed. Krave truly delivered in quality. From the bartenders, to the cocktail hour, staff, dinner, dessert, and late night snack, everything was just perfect. In addition, Kate was a pleasure to work with. Her attention to detail and expertise in coordinating the whole thing was just unbelievable. Every meeting, Kate focused on what we wanted and gave us the best recommendations on what we should do based on the number of guests, what to take out, what to add, all while maintaining the vision we had for our wedding. Kate and her team were super flexible and with each meeting, was open to any and all changes we wanted. There was not a single misstep in the process and all was executed perfectly. Kate and her team did exactly what we had envisioned and it was even better than we could’ve imagined. Despite all the hustle and bustle of the wedding, Kate made sure to take care of us before, during, and at the end of the wedding, making sure we were eating, drinking, and packing us food to go, all while making sure all our guests were satisfied. Truly cannot say enough about how amazing Krave catering was. Such a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend!

I literally do not have words to convey my extreme satisfaction working with Krave! From the very first email, Kate (or Anna or the Krave Event Team) always responded with great detail. Kate was SO EASY to work with. Her attention to detail is seriously amazing...even our guests noticed. The food was delicious... we heard for WEEKS from our guests about how much they enjoyed the food (shout out to my favorite items... the peach mascarpone tart and lamb lollipop). The service was incomparable... we had guests with dietary restrictions and they could not believe the level of attention they received. Many of our older guests were quick to comment about the impeccable service. Our head server, Liz, took care of us and our parents. Our parents are still talking about her a month later and what excellent service she provided. We got married at The Conservatory at Sussex County Fairgrounds, so Krave's familiarity with the venue was a huge plus, but we would highly recommend Krave for any event!!

7/28/2022 • Ashley M

I cannot say enough good things about Kate and her team! My guests have told me over and over again how great the food and service were. The attention to dietary restrictions and allergies was incredible! Kate is wonderful to work with. She makes sure everything is exactly how you want it and even matches her decor with your colors and style. My other vendors even said they love to work with Krave every time. If you are looking for a tried-and-true caterer, look no further!

6/24/2022 • Bobby W

You MUST have Krave cater your wedding! We got married at the Conservatory at the Sussex County Fairgrounds. We did tastings with multiple preferred caterers, decided on Krave, and it was the best decision we made. For starters, Kate and her staff are so easy to work with. They went beyond just catering and helped us make sure everything was in order leading up to our wedding. Secondly, their food was phenomenal, from the cocktail hour through dinner and dessert. Tons of food at cocktail hour, from passed hors d'oeuvres to food stations. For dinner, we chose the blue cheese crusted filet, orange roughy, roasted chicken, and sesame seared tofu as our options (guests chose one). I cut the filet with a fork; the orange roughy was so light and flavorful; the chicken was juicy; and our vegetarian guests were chasing me down to tell me how good the tofu was (they are used to steamed veggies or, at best, a stuffed pepper at weddings). Everyone raved about the food. And perhaps best of all, they sent us home with a sampling of all of the food since we didn't have time to eat much during the reception. Lastly, I knew everyone would love the food, but I wasn't expecting the number of guests who came up to me to say the Krave staff was so nice. It made us feel great that their staff (especially our favorite, Liz!) were so attentive to our guests. Choosing a wedding caterer can be stressful. Do your self a favor and pick Krave. You won't be disappointed!!

Krave is an unbelievably wonderful caterer! From our delicious and abundant tasting to the last delicious dessert, they were completely attentive and thorough and they made sure that every dietary need was respected. The food is absolutely fantastic and the presentations are lovely. We offer our highest recommendation for Krave!

Kate and Anna and the rest of the Krave team were absolutely incredible. The service was seamless, the way they laid out the venue was logical and flawless, the drinks they poured were excellent, and most importantly all of the food was absolutely delicious. We found them easy to work with, flexible regarding guest count that changed due to COVID, incredibly responsive, and they helped make our day perfect. Krave is one of the caterers approved by The Conservatory at The Sussex County Fairgrounds, and it’s no surprise they are the most common choice. We would recommend them to anyone in North Jersey or the Poconos looking for a caterer for their event.

The office administrator was awesome but had to follow up a few times. Kate and Rich were fantastic the day of. From greetings guests to setting up to full white glove service. The servers were excellent, no one had a need for a drink or food at any given second. The food was to die for delicious and the presentation was exactly what I hoped for. Guests are still talking about our wedding. My only suggestion is if you're supplying your own booze ask to open as needed. Many bottles were opened and not used so we ended up having to keep them and not return them for a refund. Otherwise, absolutely NO complaints. Well worth the money as the quality of the food and the service is superior!

AMAZING!!! I would recommend Krave over and over again! They were perfect for our wedding of 140 people. My husband and I were really passionate about having great food at our wedding and Krave came along side us to make that happen. After an initial quote, call with Kate (head of the catering), and making a rough draft of our menu, we went for our first tasting. All the food was excellent and Liz, our server, was very knowledgeable as well. We knew we wanted to make a few changes and were able to schedule a second tasting to make sure everything met expectations (of course it did!!). We were able to alter the meal details within reason (switched out steak and chicken fajitas for shrimp and veggies since it worked better with the other dishes we chose). They encouraged us to customize our bar services to what worked best for our guests. A few days before the wedding, Kate & I went over the menu and she made some final suggestions based on how all our food worked as a whole, not as individual dishes. At the wedding itself, the Krave service team was incredible. I got multiple compliments on how friendly and service oriented the team was. Especially towards our parents and grandparents. At the end of the night, they sent us home with four bags of leftovers so my husband and I could enjoy the food afterwords without feeling pressured to eat during the wedding. Kate also went above and beyond by setting up all of our decor for us and even bringing her own to fill in some blank spaces that I hadn’t thought about (like cocktail hour decor). Truly could not have dreamed of anything more for a caterer. Five stars!!!

100/10 Krave Caterers were incredible to work with and the food was UNBELIEVABLE . We still have people talking about our late night snacks (TEC on a hard roll)! From the very beginning we knew we wanted to go with Krave after sampling their food at a Sussex County Fairgrounds Conservatory Wedding Show. Their staff (especially the owner Kate and sales lead Anna) have been so responsive to every question and idea we had and were so accommodating to our guest's dietary needs as well as any feedback we gave them from our TWO tastings. We did a station dinner which was perfect for our guests to get exactly what they wanted from our Asian Wok Station to the Southern BBQ or Prime Rib carving station. Krave decorated the food tables so romantically and it fit right into our overall theme. Kate did an extremely thorough job spending hours on phone calls with us, walk throughs on site, and creating an ever-changing site plan. The food was so delicious and had such a great variety, our guests were only sad that they got so full and couldn't fit anymore! The extended 90minute cocktail hour was perfect for us to finish pictures, have some alone time, and then join our guests before reception. They even delivered our favorites to the bridal suite for us to enjoy privately! Their bartenders were so friendly and kept the drinks flowing all night (they even ensured that my special bottles of Skinny Girl Marg were only available to me!). Krave was everything you could ask for in a caterer and more, they were truly the cornerstone of our entire event.

We originally planned to have a simple backyard wedding. Instead we had our wedding at The Conservatory catered by Krave and that was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Krave was absolutely amazing in making our wedding so beautiful and unforgettable. We're SO HAPPY we chose Krave. In our first meeting with Kate at our venue, she gave us the layout and a detailed itinerary which was very helpful in planning this out. At that point, everything felt so real and throughout all the stress, she was the calm. She gave us good tips and advice. It was so easy to trust that she'd run everything smoothly. She went above and beyond at our wedding. Anna was on top of handling the administrative side of things. She responded to our emails and calls right away. Liz made our menu tasting such a nice and intimate experience. She's so friendly and it was so nice to see her again at our wedding. We loved how they set up The Conservatory. Everything was beautiful! We loved how thoughtful they were in setting aside a plate and drinks for us during cocktail hour knowing how crazy the after ceremony could be. We were really grateful that they packed us to-go bags in case we missed out on our dinner. The food was delicious as was the beautiful cake! They made our wedding so much more than we could have ever imagined! Thank you so much, Krave!

Krave Catering was the MVP of our wedding day! They went above and beyond, and it’s clear their team loves doing what they do! Throughout the planning process, Kate was polite, professional, and easy to communicate with. She has many years of experience in the industry - she offered us valuable advice and helped us understand what our wedding day would look like. Kate was well-informed and kept us updated about the constantly changing COVID-19 guidelines. We felt very reassured and safe having our wedding during the pandemic. Early in the process, we scheduled a tasting and we appreciated how accommodating they were of the fact that both of our families wanted to join in on the experience. They were receptive to our feedback and by the second tasting they had perfected our wedding day meal. They even created an appetizer and dessert especially for us inspired by our favorite foods. We ended up going with the family style service and it was a hit with our guests! Krave Catering really shined on our wedding day. Kate and her team laid out our centerpieces for us and brought their own decorations for the catering/gift tables to complement ours. We told her we were looking for a modern farmhouse type feel and she definitely delivered! During the actual celebration, her team took very good care of our guests and we particularly loved that Kate made sure to know who my parents, my husband’s parents, and my grandmother were to ensure they had anything they needed. Their team was flexible to unexpected delays to our timeline and they worked really well alongside our other vendors to make our big day a success! At the end of the night, her team tore down all our decorations for us, packed them away for next day pick up, and sent us home with some food so we could enjoy our night as a newly married couple! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better team! Definitely will be using their catering services again in the future!

I could not have asked for a more perfect day! Kate and the Krave team helped me out so much! Not only was the food fantastic, but how Kate decorated the cocktail hour was incredible! It left me without stress, knowing that she had everything taken care of. Kate was so accommodating, as the guest count consistently changed up to the day of the wedding, she never missed a beat and was able to take care of everything without me feeling the weight of the stress!

I wish I could give Kate & her team more than 5 stars. They were absolutely phenomenal! We found Krave through a recommendation from our venue and honestly they blew us away! The food that Krave prepared for our wedding was beyond words. Our family and friends are still talking about how we had the best food ever!! Kate and her partner really helped my husband and I customize every single detail. Kate was also our wedding coordinator and really put our minds at ease during the day of the wedding. She decorated our space exactly how we envisioned it and even added so many extra special details. Kate was right there whenever we needed her! Krave is hands down the best vendor we went with!!! I HIGHLY recommend them!!

BEST VENDER!!!!! K rave was absolutely amazing down to every detail. Owner Kate made us feel like we were her only wedding each and every time we spoke with her on the phone or met in person. We also hired her to do some decorating at our venue. They have very unique and modern rustic pieces we added on from them that created the perfect touches! The food was phenomenal (our guests keep telling us about their favorite foods from the night.) She made our wedding vision come to life and at a very reasonable price! Cant imagine what our day would have looked like without this special team! Very accommodating and professional along the way. Felt like they truly cared :)

Krave, Kate, and the entire team were the absolute best!! Kate was so supportive as we planned our wedding in the midst of the covid pandemic. She was patient and reassuring and went above and beyond every step of the way. She made us feel so special and was so detail oriented, paying attention to our vision and making the catering details match our style was so unexpected from a caterer, but so appreciated. On the day of our wedding, every little thing was thought of by Krave and executed perfectly. We could not have asked for a better experience! They are more than a caterer, our wedding wouldn’t have happened without Krave!

7/20/2021 • Michelle F

Kate and her team are the best! We can’t thank them enough for making our reception so incredible. The guests raved about the food, especially the incredible cocktail hour and dessert bars. Kate is more than just a caterer, she really helped run the show and we couldn’t be happier about having her with us on our big day. Definitely book Krave for your next event!

I don't even know where to start with this review. Krave was so amazing. From setting up my decor, to mixing in their own, to the food...omg the food! My husband and I live an hour and a half away from them and we still went there to pick up our valentines day dinner because it is that good. Kate and Anna kept me (somewhat) sane though the planning process but walked me through every step to make sure everything went smoothly, and it did. They helped to create our dream wedding with memories we will cherish for life. And leftovers. We already cherished those 🤗

Best Decision EVER! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Krave gave us the best experience we could have asked for. Kate and Rich are the nicest people! Covid threw a wrench in everyone’s plans this year, but they made it as painless as possible. The food was absolutely delicious. Kate made sure that even with all the hustle of a wedding we got to try everything we wanted, and it was everything we expected from the tasting. Delicious! Highly recommend!

The entire Krave Catering team is top notch! We were so comforted and happy from day one with Krave. The food and presentation is exceptional. I worked closely with one of the owners, Kate, and I can not say enough nice things. We got married at the Sussex County Conservatory, which is a gorgeous DIY type of venue. The Conservatory is partnered with 3 caterers, of which you have to choose from. I contacted Krave first and immediately felt comforted and confident they would make our wedding special. With DIY weddings, there is tons to do and remember. It is so fun creating your vision, but there is an extra element of stress added. Kate assured me she would fill in any gaps that I missed and it would be perfect. It was PERFECT, and I wouldn’t change a thing! Kate was so incredibly sweet and flexible, especially during the crazy times with pandemic regulations and uncertainty. She kept me inspired and hopeful and kept me on track throughout the whole experience. She is more than just a business owner.. she puts her heart and soul into your event. I am so happy Krave has a restaurant that we can visit from time to time, because their food is amazing. It’ll be great to reminisce about our perfect day on date nights. Thank you Kate and all the Krave team members for everything!!!! You guys do phenomenal work :-)

I've been to both the Krave Cafe and was blown away by their outstanding food and service, but we also chose to use Krave to cater our wedding. Let me start off with saying if you are considering them for an event or party -- JUST WRITE THEM THE CHECK. Kate and the entire team at Krave are not only wonderful to work with but they are truly extraordinary at what they do. Since the wedding we've received endless compliments about the food and service that Krave brought to the party and looking back I can't imagine working with another vendor. I don't believe there's anyone that cares so much about your tastes and interests and making your party go as smoothly as possible as Kate and her team.

Kate and the team at Krave were phenomenal. Our original wedding was cancelled due to Covid-19, and they were incredibly flexible and helpful. They went above and beyond and thought of every detail. They not only provided incredible food (that our guests are STILL raving about!), but they helped create a beautiful space where everyone felt safe. I can't recommend Krave enough!! Thank you for everything!

Kate and her team at Krave were phenomenal in such a crazy wedding season. With all the adjustments that needed to be made she was so empathetic and calming to work with. She was available to answer every question or concern we had during the wedding process. Kate was so dedicated to making our day perfect and flexible with the constant changes that were being made. The food was DELICIOUS and all of our guests are still talking about it. Her attention to detail was beyond anything I have ever seen, we were sent home with a bag of food at the end of the night, she was on top of the weather, she was great with the rest of the vendors and really thought/covered every possible detail.

Krave catered our wedding at The Conservatory at Sussex County Fairgrounds and I could not be happier with our entire experience!!! Krave was hands down the most incredible catering company I have experienced to date, from their food, service, day of coordination, planning and attention to detail it was a 5 star experience.......and I work in the hospitality industry! They are so professional and polished and they are INCREDIBLE and FLAWLESS at everything they do!!!! Working with their entire team was a dream! I am a very detailed person and they were completely understanding and willing to work with me and hear out all of my ideas!! They were extremely supportive and easy to work with leading up to the wedding - which was much appreciated!!! I cannot say this enough but THE FOOD was OUTRAGEOUS! I have been to 20+ weddings in the last 3 years, and honestly the way people were raving about the food brought tears to my eyes!!! The cocktail hour was so expansive (we added the New England Bar and Pub Bar tables) and their displays were beautiful!! One of my favorite things was that Kate matched her displays with our wedding style/decor, from the greenery and gold accents to the fonts of her table signs, talk about attention to detail - WOW!!! Kerry our Maitre'd, was so attentive and helpful on the day of! She took care of my husband and I to ensure we had drinks in our hands, food, and that we were enjoying ourselves every minute of the wedding! Kerry's stand out moment was when the bottom of my dress was stained black from the mud and wet grass outside from taking pictures and she was quick to jump in and help with a cloth and club soda and was completely a LIFESAVER for me before I walked down the aisle!!! I cannot say more amazing things about Krave Events Caterer! HANDS DOWN - THEY ARE THE BEST!!! Thank you SO much to the entire Krave team!
