Caperberry Events

i was at a friends wedding at the C.V. Rich Mansion and oh man its so beautiful! this place still looks like an active house but its a hall too. its amazing! food was great. i had the chicken, veggies and mashed potatoes. just beautiful.

It’s not your mother’s Woman’s Club anymore. Elegance at its finest! I just hosted a retirement party at the C.V. Rich Mansion and it was sheer perfection! The ambiance was breathtaking. As the guests entered, I could tell by the look on their faces that they were completely taken aback by the exquisite furnishings and homey feel. The inside of the house has been updated and is beautifully decorated. The patio and gardens are comparable to a private oasis. The food was delicious, particularly the flank steak and the pasta with shrimp in a spinach sauce. The wait staff was attentive and professional. Natasha, the event planner was a pleasure to work with and paid close attention to every detail. We have used the Great American Barbeque several times in the past, so we knew we would be in good hands. I can’t wait for an excuse to have another event at the C.V. Rich Mansion!

I decided to have my 40^th birthday at home this January and had Caperberry Events cater it. I’ve been eating at Sam’s of Gedney Way for years and had tried their catering at a Taste of WhitePlains event a while back.
The passed hors d’oeuvres we had were over the top. A combination of land and sea – Filet Mignon with Arugula and Horseradish Goat Cheese (amazing!), Outer Banks Crab Cakes with mustard caper sauce, and Crisp Coconut Shrimp with chili lime sauce (mouth watering as I recall them). As a vegetarian option, the Brie & Roasted Shallot Tart with caramelized fig chutney went so well with the red wine I was drinking. Other good gnoshing with their Classic Antipasto platter and a couple of platters of Shrimp Cocktail.
For the main course, we had Tuscan Chicken with artichokes, and sage in a lemon butter sauce, along with a Penne Pasta with Prosciutto, grana and peas in a light tomato cream sauce, and huge platter of grilled vegetables. They cut up the chicken small enough so that you didn’t need a knife, making it easier to eat in a cocktail setting. The entrees hit the spot and weren’t too heavy after all the appetizers.
Since I had already hired someone for the night to work the party, I opted for them to drop-​off the food. They wheel it in in these giant containers that keeps everything the right temperature until you need it. They gave us instructions on how to heat and serve everything. Nothing was dry or soggy. And they set us up with all the serving pans and platters. All in all, they were helpful in providing guidance on which food to order. Calling Caperberry for the next party.

Got married @ cv rich 2 yrs ago and could not have been more impressed with the service and food and beauty of the mansion. Joanna was amazing and the place was magical.

We just had an event at the CV Rich Mansion catered by Caperberry Events.
It was GREAT. Exactly as was expected. Food was delicious. Service was impeccable. Could not have had a better experience.
This is our second experience with this catering company. The first was in the room at Sam’s of Gedney restaurant. That party, as well, was perfect.
If I had another event to plan. I would without hesitation use them again.

Caperberry Events catered our wedding at the CV Rich Mansion in White Plains. It was a wonderful experience throughout and the food was a large part of that. Joanna Malone is the catering manager for the mansion and she does an expert job. She guided us through the process and the event flawlessly. The food is outstanding and plentiful. The cake from Lulu’s Bakery in Scarsdale was included as part of the catering fee. It is delicious and we were thankful that there was one less vendor decision to make. I highly recommend them!

We were married at the CV Rich Mansion on Friday, August 17^th 2012. Our experience prior to the wedding and on the wedding day was exceptional; the venue and staff were above our expectations and did everything to make our dream day come true.
The venue is a historic Victorian mansion; with culture and personality. It is not a modern, clean and perfect venue instead it is a grand home with lots of personal character and warmth. The «imperfections» are just perfect. The upkeep on this property is exceptional; the landscaping (which is vast) is also beyond beautiful. When you enter it, you cannot help but feel as if you stepped into your own grand home.
Joanna Mallone, our main contact and planner for the venue. She is a patient, meticulous, honest, sweet and caring person. She dedicates her all to her client; she made us feel as if we were the only wedding or event that she had that whole summer. She is swift on communication and had no problems answering all of our questions or catering to our many needs.
The staff for the mansion are also amazing. They are all so polite and outgoing for their guests that we truly felt like royalty the day of our wedding.
The food was the icing on the cake. There was not a dry chicken in sight! The groom accidentally walked into the kitchen the morning that we were getting married and he saw the chefs individually braising each chicken for our event… we figured it would be put in the oven but to cook everything individually shows that this place cares about their client. There is a large food selection that is given to you and you cannot go wrong in any choice. Our guests are still raving about the food and no one went home hungry.
The drinks, again cannot remotely be terrible at this wonderful place. The bartenders were very courteous to our friends who love to drink and were bombarding them. They remembered everyone’s drinks, were heavy handed and lightened up when they needed to be.
This venue is perfect for:
1. Smaller wedding parties (four bridesmaids/​groomsmen max) … If you plan on getting ready at the Mansion.
2. The couple who wants to have something different than the norm, this is not a wedding factory location.
3. The couple who wants personalized service.
4. The couple who is easy going because the staff here sure will be as easy going with you, and further go out of their way for you.
5. The couple who focuses on food, tasty food and lots of it!
If we could rewind time we would relive this moment over and over. It was perfect and we would like to thank Caperberry Events and the CV Rich Mansion, most of all Joanna Mallone for being an integral part in our wedding and making it just spectacular.

I recently attended an early-​morning breakfast meeting at Mapleton and was SO impressed by the location and the catering service. I expected the typical so-​so meal of coffee and danish. I was surprised and was VERY pleased to be greeted with freshly scrambled eggs, perfect bacon, fresh bagels and spreadable cream cheese, a lovely fruit salad, and decaf coffee that was actually decaf! There were actually pastries there, but they played a minor role to all the other wonderful breakfast foods. A great meal that made the meeting seem even better. And the Mapleton mansion is just gorgeous. I shared the information about the place with a friend who is currently seeking out a place to host her bridal shower!
