Exquisite Food

East Hampton, N.Y.; 631-827-6000; hamptonsexquisitefood.com

Owner and chef Simon Sheridan promises to attend every wedding he caters and to take on just one per day—proof positive of his company’s unparalleled devotion to its clientele.

Feast & Fêtes

20 E. 76th St., nr. Madison Ave.; 212-737-2224; feastandfetes.com

Daniel Boulud’s catering arm is a top choice for posh weddings, as he creates menus and wine pairings that reflect clients’ tastes. At George Stephanopoulos and Ali Wentworth’s reception, guests sampled lobster with black-trumpet mushrooms, plus a Périgord specialty: tournedos Rossini, fillet of beef, and foie gras (from $115 to $200).

Food in Motion

218 Sullivan St., nr. Bleecker St.; 212-766-4400; foodinmotionevents.com

This kitchen is known for American favorites like lobster rolls on homemade hot-dog buns. Husband and wife Lloyd Zimet and Michelle Lovelace scour the Union Square Greenmarket for their ingredients—tomatoes for a panzanella, for instance, and fresh peaches ($175 to $250, including alcohol).

Food Matters

160 E. 88th St., nr. Lexington Ave.; 212-427-2818; whenfoodmatters.com

This boutique caterer offers mostly Continental fare with setups like carving stations and raw bars. Start with hors d’oeuvre like crab cakes and vegetable shumai, and then move on to a sit-down dinner with filet mignon au jus or Asian-crusted Chilean sea bass. Prices range from $72 to $170, including alcohol.

Glorious Food

504 E. 74th St., nr. York Ave.; 212-628-2320; gloriousfood.com

For 30-plus years, co-owner Sean Driscoll has indulged everyone from guests at corporate parties to serious spenders who’ll drop as much as $200,000 for a weekend-long affair with 400 people (they catered the 2007 Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala). Upscale canapés include a crème-fraîche-lined caviar puff-pastry tart ($125 to $400).

Gracious Thyme Catering & Event Management

2191 Third Ave., nr. 119th St.; 212-873-1965; graciousthyme.com

A typical Gracious Thyme wedding meal might start with seared scallops in a citrus vinaigrette paired with a 1998 Pascal Jolivet Pouilly-Fumé and finish, after several other courses and wines, with tiny, delicious raspberry-and-buttercream cakes ($160 to $210).

Great Performances

304 Hudson Street, nr. Spring St.; 212-727-2424; greatperformances.com

Great Performances offers produce from its own organic farm in Kinderhook, New York. It works with clients to create memorable events. They handle intimate weddings and large-scale movie premieres with equal ease, and they were recently named the exclusive caterer for the Plaza. Prices start at $150.

Hudson Yards Catering

640 W. 28th St., nr. Eleventh Ave.; 212-488-1500; hycnyc.com

Dig into brisket and okra and mac ’n’ cheese from Blue Smoke, or raise your pinkie and pick at the Arctic-char truffle and the tuna “cru” of the “Raw Bar Moderne”—a sort of high-end buffet on ice. Danny Meyer’s latest catering venture offers both, and a range of options in between (from $125).

Laurence Craig Distinctive Celebrations

529 W. 42nd St., nr. Tenth Ave., Ste. 2G; 212-581-1986; laurencecraigcatering.com

These classic and modern caterers are best known for their versatility: They will bring their local, farm-harvested produce to any fare or cuisine, cook up a traditional American favorite, or prepare tapas from a far corner of the globe. Prices start at $150 per person.

Le Moulin Ltd.

75 Main St., nr. Ferris St., Irvington, N.Y.; 914-469-6762; lemoulincatering.com

Impressive clients such as Vera Wang and Victoria’s Secret have employed these epicurean experts to feed their guests delectables like tortellini with Swiss chard, and tournedo of cod with green olive tapenade. Provençal-born Josyane Colwell leaves her style signature on every event—from intimate gatherings at the Pratt Mansion to fashion-world weddings at Gotham Hall. Prices start at $150.

Manna Catering

24 Harrison St., nr. Greenwich St.; 212-966-3449; mannacatering.com

Caterer Dan Lenchner may keep it kosher, but his cuisine is anything but traditional: He once wowed a wedding crowd with an exotic feast featuring Balinese tuna satay and Burmese vegetable patties. Other fare included chachapuri, a cheese-filled pastry inspired by a trip to the former Soviet republic of Georgia, and green-papaya salad with pomelo and lime ($130 to $180).
