When you schedule a call to discuss our catering needs, make sure you call. Never heard from Marylyn. Two days later she left a voice message say she left a voice message, which she didn't. I have no missed calls from her.

Unprofessional…attempted guilt trip me over my lack of communication…
Marylyn and team catered our wedding and it could not have been more perfect! Everyone raved about the food specifically the beef. We didn't have an easy to please crowd, and yet everyone was absolutely blown away by it. Our entire wedding day went along seamlessly thanks to Marylyn and her staff. Marylyn was there every step of the way from our first phone call to the wedding day. She was so helpful specifically with rentals. We had a backyard wedding so we had to rent everything and Marylyn made it happen! We could not have been happier and would absolutely recommend Marylyn and Juste Hors D'Oeuvres for all your catering needs!
My husband and I found just hors d'oeuvres through the thumbtack app. We were lucky to have been contacted by Marylyn seeing that our event was scheduled only 1 month prior. Marylyn and her team knew exactly how to guide us through a very last minute wedding planning. The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal! Our guests loved the food. It’s been almost 2 weeks and I’m still getting compliments. Thank you!
Marylyn was simply amazing when it came to helping me with my upcoming wedding. She is so down to earth, straight forward & really cares about you & what you would like. She also helps with saving you the most $ & comparing prices from chairs/linens to flowers to entertainment. She really knows what she’s doing & did not disappoint. I definitely look forward to working with her in the future for other parties. The menu was also perfection!!
I’ve been writing you profound thank-yous in my head since your wonderful team arrived on Saturday morning – but am only just regaining my ability to think coherently. The food was truly exceptional (the eggplant stacks and stuffed mushrooms – and the pears with chèvre on toast – were outrageously good and I ate so many I was full for the tacos, though Bob and I have been enjoying them immensely ever since). The service was seamless and gracious and you were right, I loved everyone on the team. They left my kitchen spotless, with stacks of astonishingly good leftovers. I’m sure you’ll get more business from our guests, who raved about the food. I’m SO happy I found you! I cannot thank you enough for all your help with the shower, which was a huge success! It didn’t even rain!
Marylyn was responsive and called me the day I first looked online. She listened to me insist I wanted "something simple", had great suggestions and gentle advice, and gave us the wedding we hoped for. Everything was fantastic! Working with her was very easy, even though we had a nervous venue. She has the patience of a saint! Juste Hors D'oeuvres prepared amazing food (we were so excited after the tasting) and coordinated us through the entire process. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
HJD catered my husband's 80th Birthday celebration. The appetizers were amazing and the dinner delicious. The food was abundant and I was grateful for the great clean up. Great Party!! A special thanks for showing up on the first snow storm of the year!!
This is the thank you note I wrote to Marylyn, owner of this company and her assistant for that day, Lisa: Dear Marylyn and Lisa: "Many thanks for making Renee's bridal shower an event to remember! The food was delicious and presented in such a lovely manner with beautiful fresh cut flowers everywhere. Also, thank you for your extra assistance with the set-up and break-down and with hiring and making arrangements with the supply vendor.Her bridal party especially enjoyed being able to help to choose the dishes that were ultimately served! I highly recommend your services to all! .....Susan from Long Island, NY (Mother of the Bride)"
We cannot say enough great things about Marylyn and team - they were outstanding! She accommodated our planning efforts from across the country, set up a tasting with my mother and grandfather (who were in the area) and was even nice enough to send us a sample of the food we weren't able to try in person to make sure we still felt apart of it! She helped us with wine and alcohol, rentals, etc. and even coordinated it for us to ensure everything was seamless. The food was raved about by our guests and the decorations were set up perfectly. The transition from the ceremony set up to dinner tables was impressive as no one even realized they were changing everything! If you are looking for someone to make you feel like family and to make your event perfect than this is the company for you. The service was exceptional and our guests had a wonderful time. We would highly recommend Juste Hors D'Oeuvres for anyone looking to work with an energetic and wonderful team!
