I can't recommend Harvest & Revel enough. Sara Elise was incredibly responsive and great to communicate with throughout my planning process. The staff that were present for our catered breakfast were super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and creative- everyone in our wedding party was raving about it. I look forward to finding a way to work with them again! More...

This food was amazing! Thank you for catering Fusion Film Festival. We had frittata, small cakes, salad, potatoes, and garlic aoli. The flavors were perfectly bold and the drinks were also fantastic. Wish there was somewhere to get this every day. More...

Sara Elise and Ora did a wonderful job catering a newlywed brunch at our townhouse. They were easy to plan with and came up with a fabulous menu. Everything was delicious and the presentation was lovely. There was plenty of food and leftovers were placed on my platters so people could continue to munch. There wasn't much left! They brought one server with them and all three women stayed the entire time and were friendly to all. I highly recommend them! More...

Harvest and Revel did a wonderful job catering my daughter's wedding. They adapted beautifully to a space with no kitchen, bringing in all necessary equipment. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented and served. Sara Elise and Ora brought in a team of courteous servers, and the atmosphere they created was warm and welcoming. Our guests loved the food and were filled with praise. Highly recommended! More...

The team at Harvest and Revel was incredible to work with for planning our wedding. Sara Elise was always professional, responsive and handled many of the details of our wedding. Her staff that came in to work the event were incredible -- friendly, accommodating, and a true team that banded together to make the night great! We had ALL our guests comment on how delicious the food was, and on top of that, it was sustainable, local and good for us and the earth. Cannot recommend the ladies at Harvest and Revel enough!

I searched high and low for a caterer for my husband's birthday bash, and I'm so glad that I found Bed Stuy Kitchen. They're all about healthy, yummy, beautifully presented food, which is exactly what I was looking for. I got in touch with them about a week before the party, and they were a dream to work with. Sara Elise was out of the country, but she answered all of my emails and concerns in a very timely manner. We finalized our menu through email, and confirmed everything over the phone once she returned. Even though it was three days before the event and I was a little nervous, Sara Elise calmed my fears and said, "Don't worry. Everything is going to be great!" Well, she was right. On the day of the event, she and her partner, Ora, arrived two hours before start time (and even before I got there). They started to work their magic and within no time, they had had a beautiful and stunning table set up with their deliciously scrumptious creations! I had a buffet-style, stationary hors d'oeuvres-type party and here are some things on my menu: rye bread with homemade arugula pesto, creamy local burrata, caramelized onions, and frizzled prosciutto; mushroom ricotta puffs with roasted garlic thyme; lemon-leek meatballs, carrot puree; herbed chicken puffs with sharp cheddar, caramelized onion; Chive saffron cakes with fresh ricotta lemon radish.All my guests raved about the food. So many of them asked me for business cards. I was so proud! Thanks to Sara Elise and Ora for making my husband's party such a huge success! They were lovely from beginning to end, and they even made sure that I was fed when the found out that I hadn't eaten a thing all night! More...

Continuing with the mission of using all natural, organic, locally sourced, and seasonal ingredients- Sara would grow to found Bed Stuy Kitchen in 2012- reborn as Harvest & Revel in 2016.

COFFEE/TEA SERVICE
We can provide coffee & tea service for $4.50 per person (minimum 40 guests).
The service includes a carafe of caffeinated, organic coffee as well as a carafe of hot water served alongside
assorted organic teas. We also include an assortment of milks (including non-dairy options), stirrers, raw sugar,
local honey, and paper cups. You can either get this option for all of your guests, or have it provided for a portion of
your guests (since not all guests are typically expected to drink coffee & tea). Rental carafes are included in the
price for under 50 guests. For over 50 guests, larger carafes have to be rented and will be added to your rental
order.
WEDDING CAKE + CAKE BITES
We can provide a small, ceremonial wedding cake for your celebration with or without matching sheet cake
servings or cake bites. We specialize in using organic and natural ingredients (no fondant) to create either naked
cakes or rustic, frosted cakes with fresh flowers and plants. Pricing starts at $110 for a 9" in diameter ceremonial
cake. Sheet cake servings are priced at $4 per guest and cake bites are priced at $1.50 per guest.
RENTAL COORDINATION
We work with either Broadway Party Rentals or Please B Seated Rentals to coordinate rentals for your wedding.
We charge a 15% coordination fee on top of the total rental invoice price for placing your order, arranging for
delivery & pick-up, and trouble shooting with the company should there be any issues once we arrive on site. This
fee also includes table bussing, rental breakdown, and rental clean-up service at the end of the evening. And yes-
you're totally welcome to handle the rental coordination aspect on your own! We can still provide rental clean-up
service for an additional fee
RENTAL SET-UP + CLEAN-UP
A set-up crew can be provided at $40 per person per hour (usually recommended is 3 people at 3 hours for a 100
person wedding) to handle rental unpacking, spacial design, and table place setting set up. These services are
not included if we provide rental coordination for you, so it would need to be added on unless you are having your
day-of-coordinator team/friends/family set up your place settings.
A clean up crew can be provided at $40 per person per hour (usually recommended is 2 people at 2 hours) to
handle any rental breakdown (unless you are working with us for your rentals and then that service is included in
the rental coordination fee) as well as handle additional venue-specific requirements such as sweeping/mopping
the space, taking out trash, etc.
BARTENDER + ICE PACKAGE
Bartender pouring service can be included for an additional $180 per bartender for a 4 hour service. If you'd like
bartending for additional hours, pricing is $50 extra per hour per bartender. They arrive before service with a
bottle opener and towels and will set up the bar as per your vision with any rentals and alcohol/mixers that you
provide.
If you'd like for us to provide a bar package (includes ice, large ice bucket, small ice bucket ice scoop, bar mat,
sliced lemon & lime wedges with condiment caddy, seltzer, tonic, a fruit juice of your choice, small knife & cutting
board, jigger, towels, and bottle opener)- that can be provided at an additional $5 per person (pricing applicable
for 100+ guests only).
Or our simple ice package is only $2.50 per person and includes ice, ice buckets + scoop, bar mat, towels, bottle
opener.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
We work with floral designers, event lighting companies, printed menu and table card designers, photographers,
DJ's, and day of coordinators that we LOVE. We would be very happy to arrange those additional services for
you, if desired.
