Bridge Creek Catering — The Wedding Specialist
30 Jenkinstown Rd - (845) 255-9234
An off-site caterer with a 5-star rating across 37 reviews, Bridge Creek has earned The Knot's Best of Weddings award for 12 consecutive years (2012–2023). They specialize in full-service, handcrafted events at unique locations — think barn venues, estate gardens, and mountaintop ceremonies. Their team handles everything from menu development to rental coordination and staffing, making them a one-stop shop. Best for couples planning a polished, detail-driven wedding at a venue that doesn't come with its own kitchen.
Main Course Catering + Events — The Crowd-Pleaser
175 Main Street · (845) 255-2600
Voted Best Caterer in the Hudson Valley by Chronogram Magazine, Main Course also operates a restaurant and marketplace right on Main Street — so their kitchen is always in practice. They offer everything from casual catering (perfect for a rehearsal dinner or baby shower) to full-scale events for 300 guests. Their online ordering system and walk-in market make them the most accessible option for smaller budgets and last-minute needs. Best for corporate events, casual celebrations, and anyone who wants restaurant-quality food with flexible ordering.
Agnes Devereux Catering — The Farm-to-Table Artist
18 Hollow Rd, Staatsburg, NY 12580 - (845) 926-6059 Wesite: agnesdevereuxcatering.com
Former chef and owner of The Village Tea Room in New Paltz, Agnes Devereux has catered hundreds of Hudson Valley events with a philosophy rooted in local sourcing. Her menus showcase ingredients from neighboring farms — milk, cream, eggs, honey, beef, maple syrup — with cultural influences that reflect years of culinary exploration. Her signature honey bee wedding cake (sweetened with local honey, decorated with chocolate-truffle bees) is legendary among Hudson Valley brides. Best for clients who want a deeply personal, artisan approach and value the farm-to-table story behind every dish.
Which One Fits You?
Whichever you choose, New Paltz has no shortage of talent when it comes to feeding a crowd well.
