Claudia’s Creative Catering

Claudia’s Creative Catering is awesome and I highly recommend her to you and the entire Unilocal community! My wife and I were celebrating her 50^th birthday. This is a once-​in-​a-​lifetime party and it had to be great. From the beginning Claudia’s Creative Catering was perfect. When my wife called and spoke to Claudia she was polite, kind and beyond helpful! She helped guide our food choices and asked a lot of questions about the party, our family and the guests that were coming. She really wanted to understand what the party was all about and who would be attending. With this knowledge Claudia was able to help us select the types of food and the right amount. She did NOT try to sway us to more expensive items or push things we did not want. In fact, she worked hard to make sure we had exactly what we needed and was thoughtful about pricing too. Now, lets get to the good stuff… the food! Claudia suggested we mainly have «passed» appetizers and a «sliders bar» with 3 different flavors of sliders. The food was delicious and plentiful! The food presentations were gorgeous and the variety of food she helped us choose was spot on! Everybody at our party kept raving about the food! The day before the party my wife was starting to freak out that there wouldn’t be enough food, so she called Claudia. Claudia calmed her down, reassured her that there would be plenty of food (and there was!) and then she added a few extra things! Besides the food flavors and quantity the person serving the passed items was also amazing! Her name was Lisa. She was outstanding! She served graciously, anticipated what people needed and remembered what people liked. Lisa made sure all the ice buckets were filled, made coffee for everyone and served each tray with a genuine smile. She too was amazing, thank you Lisa! If you put it all together you have an amazing chef who creates spectacular dishes, presents them beautifully and has someone who serves her creative dishes so beautifully. At the end of the party both Claudia and Lisa stayed to clean the kitchen and made sure everything was back to normal despite having nearly 25 people trampsing through our home. Claudia’s Creative Catering is awesome and I will definitely call her again for our next party!

My family and I have used Claudia’s Catering for over 10 years for special dinners and personal events. In my capacity as a property manager in Montclair I have seen numerous organizations, as well as our non-​profit use her services repeatedly here in Montclair. The staff is polite and very professional and Claudia herself is professional and a pleasure to deal with. I continue to recommend her service and her staff as well as her great food she prepares. In regard to JP, I think a 10 second conversation with the company is pretty harsh to brandish a 1-​star for a company’s reputation based on that experience. JP is missing out on some good food and service for any event he/​she was planning.

Hi– Recently Claudia and her staff helped me cater a friends 50^th birthday party. Claudia was easy to work with, had many ideas for a creative way to host a intimate party and all around assisted in hosting a great event. The food was delicious, beautifully displayed and the wait staff was beyond helpful. Most important was how clean my home was after the party, the next morning it was a pleasure to walk into my clean kitchen! I highly recommend hiring Claudia, in fact I did again! Once again Claudia will help me host a family Passover Dinner for 30, can’t wait.

I am giving a bad review because of their customer service. I had a very bizarre experience — I called up Claudia’s Creative Catering with a simple question and was VERY rudely treated and hung up on. The phone conversation lasted about 10 seconds. Maybe the woman was having a bad day, but there is no excuse for her behavior…
