We cannot recommend LCI Caterers more. Joe and his team are absolutely outstanding. The food is delicious, the service was excellent and their communication was clear and helpful. Our wedding was the week before COVID-19 shut everything down in NYC, and we lost over 100 of our guests the days leading up to our wedding. They helped us rearrange our reception furniture so the room felt full and warm. They were flexible and helped make sure the leftovers were well packed for people to take them home. Joe helped us shape and design a menu that would appeal to everyone and it definitely did. Literally EVERY single person commented on how wonderful the food was, and how attentive and efficient the catering staff was. All of them were wonderful. You will be so happy with them. HIRE LCI!

We cannot say enough about the team at LCI Caterers. HIRE THEM! You will not regret it. They worked with us for our wedding - which happened to take place the weekend before the COVID/quarantine lock down started.  Everything felt so overwhelming but Joe and Susanne were constantly checking in, helping arrange changes when we had to cut out guest list in half and were so patient and kind to work with.  The food sells itself, but everyone who came said how delicious it all was. Joe helped shape our menu to suit our needs and it was beautifully served and plentiful! The staff who was working the wedding were all excellent. Thank you! More...

Joe, I'm sorry it took me forever and a day to review, but I kept forgetting. Joe and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with. His prices are very reasonable, especially for nyc. His food menu flexibility is that of an Olympic gymnast. I can still taste the churros with apple pie crumble and ice cream now. The beef stew was soooo savory and I wish I had more. He and his team catered our wedding on August 31 last year. I have never heard more people obsessed with a cocktail hour cheese as I did the day after. All of the food was a hit, which is pretty difficult in my family. I only regret not getting to have the lemon pepper wings, that we tailored the taste with Joe at a tasting, on that day. The drinks were  just the right amount of boozy and tasty. They did two signatures for us and wine (a few we specifically asked for and they delivered) and beer. The bartender did a great job. The team got the wedding cake cut up and served as well at no extra charge. Please let the rest of the staff know that we greatly  appreciated you all and our day and you helped make it our most fun day ever! More...

Where do I even start with Joe and his team...They are absolutely hands on with EVERYTHING. We hosted a buffet style served dinner for our guests who til this day can’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. We’re a mixed family of Puerto Rican’s and Dominicans’, so to us it was imperative to have Spanish food served on the day of our wedding. To have Joe tell us he could deliver the best “Maduros” (sweet plantains) was a relief. Everything tasted as if my mom would’ve made it at home. The food was piping hot, fresh and in abundance. Not only was our dinner everything we wanted and more, to top it off, we had a full blown desert bar equipped a spread of fresh fruits, a wide selection of Italian cookies and cannolis’ (which were my mother’s favorite part) lol He and his staff were such a pleasure to work with especially during the planning process as my family and I had received news that my father had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, just a few months before our wedding. They made every interaction after that much more than just business. They made it almost like a break a way from the stress and helped me get this done just as we planned it. I’d recommend them in a heart beat because they’re so much more than just amazing food and service. They’re a whole lot of heart. More...

My wife and I could not be happier with the quality of service provided by Joe, Susanne and the rest of the LCI team. The food was delicious and everyone who attended our wedding could not stop raving about how good it was. They even went as far as saying they have never attended a wedding in which the food was delicious. Joe took his time with us when he invited us for a tasting and made recommendations to transform our menu from traditional to a different ordinary menu which you do not typically see at weddings. If we are ever in a situation in which we need to cater to a large group of people again I will not hesitate to call LCI to hire them for their services. They went above and beyond what was expected from them. Thank you very much JOE AND Co. More...

Joe and the LCI Team bring years of experience catering and serving events in NYC, and it shows. For a bride and groom planning a large wedding for the first time, some of the details, options, and questions can seem overwhelming. Joe and Susanne, and their entire staff, always provided us all of the information and answers we needed -- and none that we didn't. Their options allow you to pick the menu that is right for your guests, and they are straightforward in their pricing and approach, focusing on the food and the service always. On the topic of food, our guests are still raving about the delicious bites from our wedding. Joe took special care to listen to our interests, likes and dislikes, and heritage, incorporating every little detail into our night (including perogies for my husband's Polish relatives!). He was always careful to remind us it was our preference that mattered. I loved working with the LCI team and highly recommend them if you are considering it! More...

(Tip- attend the food tasting on an empty stomach... you’ll want to taste everything!) out menu was a mic of both American and Latin dishes....Joe reassured me that the latin dishes would taste authentic and he was right! Joe and his staff were available by email/phone and always responded quickly. After our wedding, the guests raved about the food! All the servers were so friendly and the food was delicious!

My now husband and I were looking for a good caterer that would please our picky parents, appeal to both our cultures (My husband is Mexican and I am Dominican) as well as our American co-workers and friends. We looked at several caterers but when we met with Joe we knew he was the one! The tasting was everything we wanted and more and Joe seemed super knowledgeable and had experience with our venue (26 Bridge) everything we could want…. He helped take our vision and create a menu that was beyond all our expectations including ALL our favorite things!! And kept us within our budget which we both thought would be impossible to do, but it’s Joe so of course he makes it happen. Joe is an amazing caterer but he was so much more than that for us! Joe was always available to me over the phone or via email no matter the time and no matter how anxious I got (and trust me I am a worrier!) he always had a solution!! Joe even spoke to me on his way to his vacation because we were a month away from our wedding and he wanted to make sure I was okay with the menu. Joe was able to fix problems that even my coordinator said “there is nothing you can do”… Joe would come in and say “we can fix that!” Two days before the wedding our bartenders canceled on us!!! One call to Joe and problem fixed!! We needed more tables last minute… Joe fixed that! AND THE FOOD!!! DELICIOUS!!! All our guests raved and complimented us on the food and everyone left full and happy; and remember this our picky family and everyone was happy!! …. Everything that my hubby and I wanted for our special day. But Joe’s amazingness does not end there, after the wedding Joe heard that with all the running around we did not get to taste everything, and he offered to cook for us so that we could taste what we had missed at the wedding …. WHO DOES THAT? JOE DOES!!!

If you want a vendor that goes above and beyond that does not stop at just food… and truly cares about the success of your big day please please please pick Joe! No one else will do!!

Joseph is a Godsend. I am from a foreign country and my husband is American, so having to go through the wedding process twice, in two different countries, was not only daunting but also weighed heavily on our pockets. We decided on our wedding venue first, and Joe's company was listed as one of the preferred caterers that the venue enjoys working with. I was happy and wary at the same time with how pocket-friendly Joe's services were compared to other wedding caterers. But after reading all the shining reviews the company has on various sites, we decided to give Joe a call. Joe was so friendly and easy to talk to over the phone, and very very knowledgeable and experienced. We instantly knew that we were in good hands. To be really honest, I was still nervous even after finalizing the menu as my parents were traditional and very picky eaters, but it turned out that I did not have to worry at all. Everyone enjoyed the food immensely, and Joe's staff was incredibly nice and helpful, even Joe himself was there to make sure everything ran extra smoothly. We owe him and his team a giant thank-you for such an amazing night. Definitely highly recommended! More...

A few years ago, I hired LCI Caterers to cater the food at my 30th birthday party. Joe developed a menu to fit my unusual theme and my guests loved everything.

Fast forward a year later - I'm now engaged and planning my wedding. We chose the Museum of the Moving Image as our wedding venue - which does not have a kitchen on site and strict rules that must be followed. I was not impressed by the caterers they recommended. I immediately called Joe and was put at ease. He had catered events there in the past and was very familiar with their policies.

I did not want to present my guests with a typical sit-down menu of three dinner options. Joe created 5 unique stations for 150 people - all of which were beautifully presented. His amazing staff made pasta in a cheese wheel and served miniature pot pies. Joe knew that my husband's family was from Brazil, thus he presented them with a fabulous mixed grill. My guests are still inquiring about the pulled pork from the southern comfort station!

Joe's laid back personality always put this nervous bride at ease. Whether I anxiously called him with questions or presented him with a 10 page email of rentals, he was always so patient and helpful. On the day of the wedding, his staff was extremely professional, helpful and friendly.

On the day of the wedding, his staff was extremely professional and friendly. I truly applaud them for working so effortlessly in the heat with smiles on their faces (the AC went out in our venue) and for preparing the venue with so little time. They also made sure this bride was well fed throughout the chaos of the day. Food is the biggest contender at any event - Joe knows people and good food I will definitely be calling LCI Caterers again for any/all of my future events. I cannot thank them enough for all they contributed to a day I will never forget.

Hiring Joe and LCI Caterers was the best decision I made for my wedding. Joe is genuine, patient and helpful throughout the entire process. His sense of humor helped a lot with the stress that comes with wedding planning. He's great at communicating and easy to get a hold of. I know when I call, he's the guy picking up that phone. He gave me some great advice and suggestions, especially with his extensive experience with parties and weddings. At the event, Joe and his staff were on time and professional. They were nice and very personable (I had great conversations with them throughout the night.) If anything, watching them work was like watching a family working together. Honestly my wedding went just as planned and everyone was complimenting on the quality of food and service. I found out after my wedding was over that there were issues with the venue staff where they did not show up to help flip the space, clear out the garbage, etc. It was Joe and his staff who went above and beyond where they did the things that the venue staff was supposed to do just so that my wedding reception went smoothly. The venue space was smaller and on the day of the event, one of the two elevators broke down (my venue was on the 17th and 18th floor) but Joe and his staff did whatever they had to do to make it work with a smile of their faces. If it wasn't for my sisters who helped out with my wedding and told me about what happened, I would have never known because Joe made sure it didn't mess up one of the most important day of my life.I didn't have a huge wedding party and spend a ton of money but Joe made me feel just as important and valuable as a customer. I honestly look forward to working with Joe and having him catering my future events. I already miss the conversations and his sense of humor. I highly recommend LCI Caterers without any reservations. More...

He had LOTS of useful advice apart from catering (wedding cake, wine, desserts, centerpieces, linens, program, photo booth, decor, venues- he's been in this business for over 25 years!) that my husband and I are so grateful for.

Joe and his catering services are both fantastic. LIC caterers provided the food for backyard wedding for 115 people. We went in for a food tasting on a whim, and put down a deposit 45 minutes later. Pros: Joe is a nice guy! He is friendly and made the process fun and worry free. He was flexible with the menu items, and gave suggestions that made sense for us (rather than what would make him money). The most important part - the food was fantastic! Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. I'd say one of the most important things was his delivery team. They stayed to plate some apps for us, and set everything up during a very high stress time. They also brought some addition plates, napkins, silverware, and serving spoons that we were not expecting. Finally, the price for quality and quantity was astounding. It's really worth the money. Cons: None that would keep me from using Joe's services in the future. But, due to his quality food he is REALLY busy and sometimes there were delays in communication. In fact, Joe is so busy he still hasn't charged me for his services a week after the event!  But, I did get the sense that if I really needed to talk to him, I could find him.Finally, if Joe's delivery guys are any indication of the quality of his waitstaff, I'd definitely hire his servers next time. We had servers from another company, and we found 4 trays of food the next morning that were never put out for our guests :-( More...

Joe and the LCI team catered our wedding reception in April 2017. They did an exceptional job!!

From the first time meeting Joe, he treats you like family. He is always available to answer questions and man can he cook. When we went to speak to him the second time to pick dishes for our event and book a tasting, Joe went straight to the kitchen and cooked us some great samples with whatever he had lying around. The samples were so great we had to add them to our menu and it was a good thing we did too because our guests loved all the food. Especially the lasagna, pepper steak and LCI Special Mash Potato were incredible. After the tasting and picking all our dishes I started getting a little nervous about the cost, but Joe’s pricing is unbelievable and unbeatable.

Joe’s team at the reception were phenomenal!! They went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly even with all the obstacles that occurred with my venue. They helped me with setting up the wedding cake and cake cutting with no problems even though that was not their responsibility. With all the running around, it was a pleasure to get back to our table and they had our food was waiting for us (including appetizers which were served during cocktail hour). They even came back to us repeatedly to see if we needed or wanted anything else. At the end of the night, they packed up the left overs and had it ready for us to take home.

He spent a lot of time with us at our tasting, answered all my crazy emails in a timely fashion, stayed til the bitter end of our wedding -- and made me feel like family. Having him do our wedding helped me relax -- he's been in business for a million years and can literally do this in his sleep!We opted for the buffet for our wedding at Bat Haus in Bushwick (where Joe has worked plenty of times before) and it was a huge hit!Having good food at our wedding was the most important thing to me and LCI Caterers did NOT disappoint.We had everything from soup to nuts -- two types of salads, two types of pasta, chicken, a sirloin carving station, pork, salmon, veggies, potatoes. For cocktail hour, we did four types of passed hors d'oeuvres -- the samosas, caprese on a stick (my FAVORITE), pulled pork sliders and bacon-wrapped brussel sprouts (also my fave). Joe also so kindly threw in a chorizo with pineapple skewer, which was so so tasty.My guests are STILL raving at how good the food was (which is a huge relief because nothing's worse than a wedding with crap food).Added bonus: We had so many leftovers, that we ended up feeding our extended family (with four kids) and then froze some containers for later!Joe and his staff were so professional and courteous. They managed to solve a few snafus (running out of drink cups, having no cake plates, etc.) with little fuss. One of the servers was so sweet that she even made sure my husband and I got enough to eat during cocktail hour and made us plates at dinner so we didn't have to wait in line! And the bartender was so friendly and quick with a pour!Joe is true a neighborhood guy who treats you like an old pal. He's flexible, works with your budget and is organized and on top of his stuff -- all important qualities when you're crazy busy planning the most important day of your life.I can't recommend him enough. Thank you! More...

Joe has been amazing to deal with, our event is next year but he has been very flexible with our needs and timeline. We did our taste test last night and it was amazing, the food is delightful and we enjoy Joe's sense of humor :-)

We used this catering service for a production shoot recently and I could not recommend them more. Everyone commented on how great the food quality was and Joe went above and beyond with designing and preparing the menu. He worked within our budget and made last minuet changes with no issue at all. The selection was allergy conscious and had a wide range of options. Joe is really helpful and will assist you with anything you need help with. We had lunch and dinner catered and they set up both meals. They delivered us coffee that lasted from 12pm to 8pm! We will definitely be using this service again! More...

Let me start by saying, the only thing I regret about my catering experience is not writing this review sooner.... I celebrated my 40th birthday in September. L C Inc. Caterers aka Joe and his staff," put their foot in it". In other words, that food was SCRUMPTIOUS,SAVORY,ENJOYABLE,RICH,MOUTHWATERING...Do I need to say more? Joe, helped me decided on my menu choosing a well diverse menu I might add.. One of my guest said "I felt like I ate a little bit of food from around the world!". The response from my guest was so gratifying. I spent a lot of money on good quality dinnerware which never got used because Joe provided EVERYTHING. Spoons, folks, knives, plates, I could go on, but needless to say, my guest didn't notice the difference..lol. One last thing, if you order for X amount of people Joe will see that you have for that amount PLUS more.I had food for my entire party (which went for seconds) and still went home with some for the next day :).So, if good quality food is what you're looking for at an UNBELIEVABLE price then LC Inc. Caterers is where you need to take your business!!!! More...

Joe and his staff catered my Brooklyn wedding. The food was delicious! My guests can't stop talking about the wonderful variety and quality of the cocktail hour and the dinner. LCI Caterers is beyond fairly priced and Joe even got me in touch with a great rental company for my china and glassware. The staff was amaizingly attentive. My guests' glasses were never empty and they did a wonderful job of bussing tables. They even did the room flip between ceremony and reception and cleaned up and broke down tables at the end of the night even though they weren't the ones who brought the tables. The champagne was perfeclty timed out for toasting and everything on the catering end ran smoothly and was extremely organized. I can't rave about Joe and his amazing staff enough, not to mention the amazing food! They helped me have the wedding of my dreams! More...

Joe is Fantastic and so was his staff!  We planned  a large BBQ dinner in the Hamptons for our sons rehearsal dinner and Joe  said "I got this - don't  worry" and he did. We received  many complements as the food was perfect. We will us Joe anytime we are back in the area for any occasion. Try him, you won't be disappointed! More...
