Melody and her staff delivered great tasting food for us! She and her staff a delightful to work with and we cannot wait to do it all over again! Her positive cheer comes through in every dish and everything is made with such love and care. Eventfull served passed food to a crowd of 300 people and everything was presented to perfection. As an example — each beef slider done to medium with toasted buns and the cheese perfectly melted. they were unreal!!!
I would highly recommend Eventfull!!! You will be delighted with your decision!

Melody catered our wedding in May at the Brooklyn Historical Society and I could not have been happier that we hired her. If we had to do it all over again, I would absolutely hire Melody in a heartbeat, which is not something I can say for all of our other vendors. She was organized and accommodating. I was planning our NY wedding from California, and she was always available whenever I was in town to meet me. She was responsive and I was 100% confident that the day would run smoothly with her in charge. The waitstaff the day of were prompt, well-​dressed, courteous, polite, and were exceedingly professional.
On to the most important thing: the food. The food was absolutely delicious. Three weeks later, my husband is STILL dreaming (and talking frequently) about how delicious the salmon was. My grandmother ate her entire plate of food, and she claimed that «she has NEVER finished an entire plate of food in her entire life». People were floored with how delicious the hors d’œuvre were (especially the steak with chimichurri sauce) and how great the entrees were.
Also, an amazing touch that just exemplifies how thoughtful and amazing Melody is that during the cocktail hour, when bride/​groom were busy doing photographs, Melody had the waiter that was assigned to us (bride and groom) come and serve us a plate with ALL the hors-d’oeuvre! What an amazing touch, and was just one example of how Melody understands and anticipates what her clients need.
Melody breaks down the pricing (very affordable) into food costs and catering costs. We were aware ahead of time that catering staff gets paid after the event based on their hours worked, which seems very practical and reasonable to me. We also knew both amounts well before the day of our wedding, so we could plan ahead.
My summary of this review: hire her. I know I will be for any future events I need.

Melody and Eventfull catered my graduation party and it was nothing short of amazing. I explained to Melody that as a graduating medical student I had only a small budget and instead of turning me away as so many caterers did, she worked with me to come up with an absolutely wonderful menu and service that fit my budget. Not only was her food absolutely delicious (everyone commented how tasty yet light and healthy!) she was so kind and gracious to me and my guests. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more special graduation. If I ever end up getting married, I’ll make sure to have her cater my wedding as well!

Melody has created a most delightful menu, combining Mediterranean flavors with the most exquisite American recipes.
She was so attentive and diligent, following all of our requests with menu details and rental questions.
We chose a buffet for our wedding, and it was so beautifully presented, the fillet was so tender, every bite full of flavor; next to the quinoa and kale and beet salad with pine nuts; which is another one of Melody’s talents, to enrich healthy choices with the most interesting flavors.
Walter was the captain. He was the most pleasant gentleman, available for every need, with the nicest disposition, as the rest of her staff was.
Thank you Melody, you made our wedding truly memorable!!!

Eventfull catered our wedding at the Brooklyn Historical Society this past September. Let’s just say Eventfull played an important part in making our wedding day memorable.
We enjoyed working with Melody throughout the process as she was very accommodating and down-​to-​earth. We had looked at several caterers during our wedding planning phase and found Eventfull was the most affordable and responsive. We had done a food tasting (with wine) and that basically sealed the deal. During the wedding planning phase, I lost count of how many times we changed/​added to the menu of hors d’oeuvres and meal selection. It was a great feeling that I was in control and can have a say in what type of food I wanted and liked.
We also decided to do a wine/​beer tasting a month before our wedding. Melody was not phased at all and even sent us a few options on what we can do for the layout as well as the disposable wine glasses we should use. Let’s just say the wine/​beer tasting was probably the best & classiest part of the wedding.
I can continue to give more and more examples of how accommodating and how we noticed the little things Eventful did.
The servers that worked our wedding day were incredibly professional. One of the servers was designated to serve us. He kept giving my husband a glass of beer everytime he was nearly finished with his drink (good and bad…)
Some great pros:
— Eventful is willing to work with Heights Château and American Beer Works in providing alcohol
— Eventful food pricing is affordable
— Melody made herself available over email, text, phone call and in person
For the newlyweds, one word of advice is to prepare of unforeseen costs as there will be costs such as staff costs that you won’t know until the day after.

Melody is fantastic and detail oriented. As an event planner myself, I was nervous about all the things that could go wrong on the big day. I was able to hand things over to Melody and her staff with confidence, and that was a relief.
The food was outstanding. Not only were we able to customize the menu, but everything that was brought out was fantastic. Not just good, but really terrific.
The servers that Melody works with are well-​trained. Our guests were well attended to both in their seats and at the bar. We had many people compliment the service as well as the food.
We had a wonderful experience working with Melody and Eventfull and would love to work with her again for other special occasions.

As did another reviewer here, i joined Unilocal to post a review. Eventfull catered my daughter’s bat mitzvah 4 years ago and my son’s this past weekend. Melody, the business’ owner and head chef, along with her manager, Matt, were creative, detail oriented (they thought of everything!) patient, professional, etc. Most catered affairs — mass-​prepared plates — are nothing special. This weekend our guests were asking the waiters for their cards. Eventfull handled everything — food, flowers, linens, wine — and even made a trip uptown to get a particular challah that i had requested. The room was beautiful, tasteful and bright. The food was also beautifully presented, fresh and delicious. I cannot say enough.

I joined Unilocal just to write this review, because my experience with Eventfull Catering was so wonderful. We hired Eventfull to cater our wedding in April 2014, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with Melody, from beginning to end. She was thorough, patient, understanding, kind, professional and went absolutely above and beyond the call of duty. She thought of every single detail, and her team was incredibly efficient and friendly, especially our manager Walter, who was calm and efficient under pressure, and made sure the evening went off without a hitch. The food on the day was absolutely delicious, exactly as it had been during the tasting. I thought working with the caterer would be one of the more stressful parts of our wedding, but Melody and her excellent team made it one of the most enjoyable. She was receptive and flexible with all our requests and suggestions, and within hours of our first meeting I trusted her judgment completely. I cannot recommend Eventfull highly enough, and wouldn’t think twice about using them again. Absolutely fantastic.

I have had two fantastic experiences with Eventfull — the most recent was this past Saturday when they catered my son’s Bar Mitzvah luncheon.
The menu was well conceived and the food was wonderful — a salmon dish for the adults, sliders and hot dogs for the kids, with vegetarian options for both groups.
The service was also exceptional. The waitstaff are considerate and invisible — unless you need them and then they are at your elbow!
Eventfull also catered a latke and champagne affair I worked on for our synagogue — for 300 people. everyone raved.
I have worked primarily with Nigel who is calm, considerate, and creative. I have never seen him ruffled nor have I seen him snap at either his staff or a nervous client. I have complete confidence in him. While I have had only limited contact with Melody, I have found her food to be wonderful and she is friendly and not at all a tempermental chef.
I highly recommend Eventfull and i hope i have the opportunity to use them again.

Melody catered our Brooklyn wedding almost three years ago, and I just got another compliment on her delicious food today.
She was easy to work with, organized and creative, pleased to work with in-​season produce, and very reasonable. We left a lot of food decisions up to her, and were rewarded with memorable, tasty food.
