David James catering

Thumbtack customerJun 2026

Chef Susan and her team were excellent! We hired them for a private bachelorette dinner at our Airbnb. There were plenty of appetizers, main dishes and desserts to choose from to assemble our curated meal. Amie and Brooke were punctual, professional and curated the best spread for us. I highly recommend the David James Catering company for your next meal! The food was delicious!

Susan Levy is wonderful to work with. The food was delicious, warm, and well-presented. Several guests wanted her contact information after our 60 person event. She is a hidden gem in the Albany area. She will not disappoint.

They did an excellent job. I wanted to have 12 people for a buffet style sit down dinner. Susan was very flexible and easy to deal with when it came to changes to the menu and number of people. She showed up on time and was prepared. I wanted dinner at 7:30 and that is exactly when it was served. The food she prepared was delicious and fresh. She contributed in making the evening an experience that my guests will remember. Thank you Susan.

Susan and her crew were amazing. The food was really good and the servers never stopped moving, serving, cleaning and helping out. I highly recommend them.

There were two main reasons why we decided to hire Chef Sue (David James Catering). 1. The delicious food (obviously). 2. Chef Sue's attentive personality. I was confident that she would make sure not only the catering went off without a hitch, but she made sure the wedding in general went off without a hitch. I can't thank the David James team enough for making my wedding the most incredible experience with the least amount of stress as possible. Thank you thank you!!

We were absolutely blown away by Chef Sue’s food when we had our tasting back in 2019. Flexibility with rescheduling during covid was a plus, especially since she made our new date work having already booked another wedding. However, when we went over our plan a few months before the date, she had some details noted incorrectly (i.e. plated vs. buffet. When the day came, the appetizers were as delicious as we remembered, but most of the meal didn’t seem quite right (especially the port wine braised short ribs I had been dreaming and raving about for two years). On top of that, we remembered talking about champagne at our tasting meeting, then right before our ceremony had to send one of our guests to pick up champagne and they ended up missing it. We were told guests could also have any drink they wanted made as long as it contained the liquor we offered, but when guests attempted this, they were told no. Perhaps these things happened because she was at the other wedding that day? Her replacement, Jen, was wonderful and very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Despite it all, I would still recommend Chef Sue because she is an amazing chef, offered to make us signs (though we had already made them), and made us a personalized cutting board! Just maybe make sure to go over every detail of your contract.
