Planning a wedding in Manhattan means navigating charm and chaos all at once—tight elevators, rooftop venues, vendor time limits, and city traffic. That’s why couples across NYC turn to Gotham Catering for wedding celebrations that are equal parts personal, polished, and perfectly timed. We bring years of borough-specific experience to the table, managing food, logistics, and guest comfort with the same care you put into your vows.

Full-Service Catering for Your Wedding Day

When we say full-service, we mean it. Our team handles every detail—from staffing and bar service to rentals, setup, and breakdown—so you can focus on your guests and your moment. Whether you need bartenders for cocktail hour, servers for plated dinners, or captains to coordinate the timeline, Gotham has you covered.

In Manhattan, full-service catering also means being prepared for anything. We’re used to navigating tight kitchens, loading docks, noise ordinances, and unique venue regulations. We work behind the scenes to make your day feel seamless out front.

Menus Made to Tell Your Story

Your wedding menu isn’t just food—it’s memory, culture, comfort, and creativity. We build menus that reflect your taste, traditions, and personal favorites. From plated multi-course dinners to globally inspired stations and passed appetizers, each element is crafted with intention.

We offer tasting sessions so you can adjust dishes, test presentation, and get a feel for how your menu will flow on the big day. Want to honor your grandmother’s cooking? Serve a vegan spin on your favorite comfort food? Mix fine dining with casual bites? We’ll make it happen.

Cultural, Interfaith, and LGBTQ+ Inclusive Weddings

New York weddings reflect every kind of love, culture, and tradition—and we’re here for all of it. We’ve catered South Asian celebrations, Caribbean ceremonies, Jewish weddings, LGBTQ+ unions, and spiritual fusion events that blend the best of multiple worlds.

Our team respects the importance of food as a cultural and emotional connector. We work closely with couples and planners to make sure menus reflect tradition, service language feels right, and each guest feels honored, not just included.

Explore our themed and cultural catering options built for weddings as unique as the people they celebrate.

Dietary Needs, Allergies, and Custom Requests

Inclusive catering goes beyond theme—it shows up on every plate. We offer dedicated vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free wedding menus. Whether it’s an all-vegan wedding or a handful of guests with specific allergies, we prep, label, and serve with clarity and care.

Our chefs are trained in allergen safety and create dishes that are as delicious as they are thoughtful. You won’t have to worry about cross-contamination or boring “special” meals. Everyone eats well, and everyone feels seen.
