An Unforgettable Culinary Experience - 5 Stars! From the very first tasting to the last bite on our wedding night, our experience with Christopher Michael catering was extraordinary. We wanted our dinner to feel like a Michelin-star-rated experience, and they delivered that and more. Our guest are still talking about the hors d'oeuvres passed around during cocktail hour. As the bride, I unfortunately did not get to enjoy that hour between pictures and getting ready for our entrance into the reception, but Matt thinks of all that, and every time I turned around there was a plate for my husband, wedding party and I waiting. The lobster rolls were my favorite. They were very popular amongst our guest as well. The French-style service was flawless. The food came out piping hot and our guest really enjoyed being able to eat a little of each meat brought out. They didn't have to pick an entree; they were served everything! They were able to eat the chicken, tuna, AND steak if they wanted! The dishes were bursting with flavor. One thing that truly sets them apart is their gift for hospitality. Each server and bartender treated our guests with warmth and professionalism. I had a cocktail on my table every time I turned around with fresh ice. Although, I didn't get to drink much lol. I would love to comment on my communication with them; however, I eventually hired wedding planners to take care of that on my behalf. They did mention that Christine is very professional and easy to communicate with. Before I brought them on though, Matt was very quick to return any calls and even did a house visit during one of my pre-wedding panic attacks to assure me that he had it! If you're looking for a caterer who elevates food and brings genuine heart to their work, Christopher Michaels catering is it! I will 100% recommend them and use them for any future celebrations. Thank you, Matt, and team!

We used Christopher Michael catering for our son and daughter in laws wedding, and brunch the following day. That was 2 weeks ago. Everyone is still raving about the food and the service. Matt was amazing! So accommodating to food allergies. We had a large wedding, and the food was cooked perfectly, and served hot. I have been to several wedding of the same size, and more often than not, the food comes cold. I highly recommend Christopher Michael Catering!

From start to finish Christopher Michael Caterers was great to work with. We received so many compliments from our guests about the food and service. Cannot recommend them enough!!

We worked with Christopher Michael for our wedding this past June and had a great experience. All our guests raved about the cocktail hour food! Highly recommend them for your next event.

They did an excellent job with my wedding! People absolutely loved the food, and they were great to work with. Highly recommend them.

We had a wonderful experience working with Christopher Michael Catering for our wedding in June of this year. Matt and Christine were incredibly professional, responsive, and accommodating during the entire planning process. The food and drinks were delicious and well presented throughout the day. We opted for the French style service, which our guests really enjoyed, as this option allowed them to try multiple entrees and receive second helpings throughout dinner service. The service throughout the day was top-notch. Matt's staff was friendly, attentive, and ensured everything ran smoothly from the cocktail hour all the way through our after-party. We never had to worry about a thing when it came to food or drink; they took care of everything with such ease and professionalism. If you’re looking for a caterer that delivers exceptional food and outstanding service at a reasonable cost, we highly recommend Christopher Michael Catering!

Great food and great team We had a wonderful experience with Matt and his team with Christopher Michael catering. Matt was responsive, communicative, and straightforward. He gave us advice and suggestions for various things which was very helpful. He was flexible, allowing us to make small modifications to the menu as desired. His team was fantastic. Christine, our point of contact for the 30 days before the wedding and the day of the wedding responded quickly to emails and was very attentive on the day of the wedding. The food was great! The guests loved the French service option so they could try multiple things instead of only choosing one entree. Highly recommend working with Christopher Michael catering for your wedding.

Best Decision We Made! Working with Matt and the Christopher Michael Catering team was maybe the best decision we made for our May wedding in my parent's backyard on LI. We had a lot of frustrating conversations with big catering companies, and the minute we spoke with Matt we knew we needed to hire him - even before we had tried any of the incredible food! Matt and his entire team are a dream to work with - they know what works and what doesn't, offer great advice, and are just really lovely people! Even better - they offered everything we needed to make an offsite backyard wedding run smoothly - from chairs and tables to china and linens and even a coordinator to help us with minor decor and logistics. When our ceremony ended 30 minutes early - Matt and the staff adjusted quickly to make it happen - quickly opening bars to serve drinks and bring out food. The team was so kind and responsive - and so good at their jobs! Our guests are a tough crowd when it comes to food (especially steak) and they couldn't stop raving about the cocktail hour and the dinner! Everything was cooked so perfectly, and the staff made it so much fun! A few weeks later, guests are still talking to me about how funny the bartenders were and how much fun they had with the "cannoli guy" who came out and served guests cannolis while they were dancing on the dance floor! Matt felt like a real partner as we planned our wedding and we are so grateful!

Highly recommend Matt Kar and his team at Christopher Michael Catering! They were extremely professional and super easy to work with! Matt Kar is so understanding and accommodating which really helped to make our wedding less stressful! They definitely went above and beyond for our wedding and we couldn’t be happier with their service! Their food is phenomenal and so delicious!! Compared to other caterers in the area the pricing was great especially for how much they offer and do for you! We would not have been able to have a wedding on the East End if we didn’t have Christopher Michael Catering helping us! We’re so grateful for them and they truly made our wedding day even more special!

Matt and the Christopher Michael team were awesome and exactly what was promised: beautiful, fresh food simply prepared in a way that lets the quality of the ingredients shine! It was perfect and plentiful! They were also a pleasure to work with every step of the way. The “one stop shop” nature of their offering with food and rentals covered in the upfront cost were also an incredible convenience at a time when fewer things to worry about really count.

Christopher Michael catered my wedding on August 10 , 2024. The food was delicious , the service impeccable and professional. I received so many compliments from my guests. Every win said it was the best wedding they have attended. I can’t say enough wonderful things. Organized, well prepared , hospitable and wonderfully helpful and cooperative. I highly e Christopher Michael.

We had the best experience with Christopher Michael Caterers for our wedding at RGNY on August 20th, 2023. Matt was very helpful throughout the entire planning process. We heard wonderful reviews of the French Style catering and knew that was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. The French Style of having three dinner options (plus sides) where guests can chose what/all options they want did not disappoint and our guests were very pleased with this unique option. The meal as well as the cocktail hour was delicious! Matt and Christine were both very communicative throughout the entire wedding process and were just as wonderful on our actual wedding day. We can not recommend Matt and Christopher Michael Caterers enough!

Christopher Michael was everything we could have asked for and more! Many of our guests shared that the meal they had at our wedding was the best wedding food they had ever had - delicious from start to end and very high quality ingredients! The staff were responsive and very kind as well. I highly recommend Christopher Michael catering!

Highly recommend! All-inclusive professional catering from delicious apps and entrees, to all glass wear, tables, tablecloths, and a full event team. CMC was incredibly accommodating for me with special dietary requests, last-minute changes, and other typical wedding dramas! The event team were ABSOLUTELY angels on the wedding day and ensured everything was beautiful, delicious, and organized, thank you team!

Very happy with all the food and the caring attentive servers. My daughter's wedding at RGNY July 1, 2023. Unlike some other caterers, Matt the chef and Christine the Maitre'd were there all evening and everything ran smoothly with tons of compliments from wedding guests on the delicious food.

We worked with Matt Kar to cater our wedding at RGNY. We loved that he was local, sourced ingredients locally and really cared about his business. All very important things to us. He offers something unique called French style where servers go to each table with 3 entrees and serve everyone a little bit of everything of their choosing. Not only is the food delicious, but our guests felt taken care of. They were served multiple times and never left hungry. Matt was wonderful to work with and so was his staff. He doesn’t do traditional tastings but he did invite us to his restaurant to have a meal. It sold us. It was one of the best we’ve ever had. I would recommend them for everyone’s catering needs and would use them again. We were taken care of, and never had to worry about a detail. Matt and Christine were there answering all our questions and guiding us through our very special day. We couldn’t thank them enough.

Christopher Michael Catering has the best food and service on the Northfork. They catered our wedding at Brecknock Hall in Greenport on July 30, 2022 and our guests are all still raving about the quality and service. Our menu was delicious and everyone loved the French-style service. No one expected to try everything on the menu and they were delighted they were able to! Matt Kar and his team are extremely helpful throughout the planning process as well as hard working during the event. We were impressed by Matt as the chef and owner took time to answer questions and was amazing every step of the way. We loved that he was the chef on our event and his team was incredibly dedicated to make our day the very best! We highly recommend Christopher Michael Catering!

Christopher Michael is the best on the NorthFork of LI! Christopher Michael Catering was the best catering at any Northfork Venue. We got married July 30, 2022 at Brecknock Hall. Our guests raved about the food and loved the French-style service at our wedding. Matt Kar impressed us as a chef and owner who was personable and involved with us each step of the way as we planned our wedding. He was easy to contact, helpful and took the time to meet with us when selecting the menu. The food was outstanding and our guests enjoyed trying each entree as his team brought everyone seconds. They are still talking about it! Cocktail hour was perfect as everyone loved how tasty it was along with our signature drinks. Dinner was seamless and delicious. The best part, was they surprised us with the tastiest pastries for dessert, which were the perfect touch. The entire catering team was excellent, took great care of us and we couldn't be happier with the way it turned out!! He was our top choice and was the best to work with!

This is a long review, but if you're considering hiring Christopher Michael Catering for your event, or even eating at the Dimon Estate, I recommend you read the whole thing. The short version is that we booked them for our wedding in 2022, but they were disorganized, then incredibly rude and greedy, and ultimately cancelled everything on us a few months before our wedding date, with no reasonable explanation, apology, or compensation. We booked Jamesport Manor/Dimon Estate in June 2021 and were so excited to get married there. Fast forward to May 2022 and a sound ordinance was passed in the town of Riverhead that made it very difficult for them to host events. This led them to cancel the venue for all couples in summer 2022- but they promised to still cater at a discounted rate and provide rentals, as well as help everyone find new venues. We rebooked a new venue that they suggested and proceeded as planned. Then, they canceled everything else (catering, rentals, bathrooms, etc) on us a few weeks later. The excuse was that a chef quit, so they did not have enough staff. But catering and rentals were not cancelled for any other couples (I know because I joined a FB group with many of the other affected brides), and when we called to talk to Matt Kar, he basically told us that we had no right to ask any questions and that we shouldn't be upset-- because while we were losing a wedding, he was losing his business. Our wedding planner and new venue also asked questions, but Matt evaded them as well. We tried to ask for just the rentals (sans catering) since the chef was the issue, but Matt refused. Well, a little bit of internet sleuthing, and I found social media posts by another couple and their photographer from September 2021, indicating that they were looking forward to their wedding day next year, at Jamesport Manor, on our exact same wedding date. I also found posts from their wedding (on our same date), at a new venue from the list Matt provided, that tagged Christopher Michael Catering as their caterer (and rentals provider based on the photos). In other words, it's very clear that they were double booked on our date for at least one year prior, and that Christopher Michael catered the other wedding at a new venue. We have not been given any reasonable explanation from Matt Kar, but I can only assume that they made a mistake and then chose the more lucrative wedding to cater, then tried to cover it up by making up an excuse about their chef quitting. We were first ignored, then berated and yelled at by Matt Kar for asking very reasonable questions over the phone. We received no compensation and almost had to cancel our wedding-- but thanks to incredible kindness of some new vendors, we pulled off a wonderful (albeit significantly more expensive) wedding! Matt Kar, while admittedly a good chef, is a disorganized mess with poor communication skills, who will not make an effort to help you or be reasonable if it's not beneficial to him. All it would have taken for us to let it go was a sincere apology and admission of their mistake, but we never received that from anyone. I hold the entire family/business responsible and recommend you do not trust them or give them your money.
