    Chris kicked off the start of a long girls weekend for 8 of us in Sag Harbor! I corresponded with…read morehim leading up to the trip and he was highly responsive and communicative relaying potential menu options and accommodations. Using his service was such a good choice for our first night after a morning of traveling and wine tasting. Being able to settle into our home and start catching up, throwing on comfy clothes, and having everything done for us was BEYOND nice. When Chris arrived, all I had to do was show him where the kitchen was and he got to work. We started with 3 apps - a cheese fondue with nice crusty bread and veggies, mini shrimp tostadas, and meatballs - all were so good and huge portion sizes! Chris set our table beautifully, served us 2 salads (an awesome herbed orzo salad with goat cheese + a delicious broccoli salad) and set up a lovely buffet for our main course! We got local fluke in a caper sauce, a skirt steak, roasted cauliflower, asparagus, and zucchini, roasted sweet potatoes, + INCREDIBLE mac and cheese!! For dessert, he served us an icebox oreo cake that we will probably talking about for years to come. He cleaned up absolutely everything for us - the entire experience was truly hands off and we were so grateful for it! We also had an absolute ton of leftovers that sustained us for the rest of the weekend that Chris put in tupperware for us before he left. We have all already discussed that we want to re-do the whole trip, Chris included! I highly recommend him for any group, he was friendly and easy to talk to and needed absolutely zero guidance - a total pro. The experience was seamless and the food was incredible.

All the fruits and veggies were perfectly in season, the salmon and chicken were cooked amazingly, and everything tasted fantastic. Chris was quick and totally on it pre dinner while we were figuring out the menu. He was super accommodating to the bride to be's pickiness and all food allergies etc. He cleaned up everything and even helped us with the extra dishes we left in the sink:) We literally only got one photo because people dug in so quickly! Thank you Chris!! Your number has been spread to all the friends!

I was very impressed with the service. My pet peeve is dirty dishes sitting in front of people and that did not happen! The wedding cake was delicious. White homemade cake with a light strawberry cream. My only suggestion would be to have had someone to serve all the pies. It was kind of awkward having to do it yourself. I definitely recommend Emily's for your next event.

They were helpful, responsive, and everything was clear and upfront. There were no surprise charges, or "gotchas". In fact they did several things beyond the scope of the contract without additional charges. More importantly, on the wedding day everything went perfectly. They gave us great advice on the set up of the tables, chairs, bar etc. They listened carefully to everything that was asked of them, made a couple of outstanding suggestions and dealt with the problems caused by strong gusts of wind at an outdoor venue with calm assurance. All of the food was incredible. The hor's d'ourves were fantastic, especially the brie and artichoke tarts, mini lobster rolls and tuna tacos. The mac and cheese in mini ramekins were also a huge hit. The dinners were equally delicious. I had the half chicken, which was served with a delicious polenta. It was absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked, moist with a crispy skin. Other sides were served family style and were all fantastic. The dessert was also superb. Each guest received a trio of mini desserts, each of which was delightful. We had several guests with food restrictions (vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free). The servers made sure the restrictions were observed, and they made it a point to bring appropriate appetizers to those guests, which was a very nice touch. All of the guests raved about the food. The service was also first class. There were so many servers handling the passed hor's d'ourves that every guest had multiple chances to try each of the offerings. Service of the dinner was equally impressive. The venue is outdoors, and it is a bit of a hike from the kitchen tent to the dining area. Despite that, the guests were served quickly, and the food came to the table still hot. Finally, their prices are quite reasonable, especially given the outstanding quality of the food and service. A very good value.

    John & Nikki.. I honestly don't know where to begin. First and foremost, with all the choices that…read morewe made during the process of planning our wedding on the North Fork, choosing our caterer was easy. We were deciding between a few caterers and had a tasting with the Perry's that just sealed the deal. My (now) husband and I walked out of there saying it felt like we just had lunch with our aunt & uncle, it felt like we had known them that long! They are two amazingly warm people -- of course it helps that John is incredibly organized and good at his job and that Nikki makes the most delicious bites. We devoured every little last bite at that tasting.. Nothing went to waste! John was so helpful with everything leading up to the day of as well, from picking out rentals, to working out our timeline. We decided to have a different format (cocktail stations as opposed to a formal sit-down dinner) and working together, John helped us make sure we'd have a smooth flow and that everything would go off without a hitch. As we were working out the details with the rentals, I never felt like he was pushing me one way or the other -- even when he put together the list of kitchen items they'd need (my venue did not provide any set-up), I knew he was being careful about not over-ordering. I really felt like he had my best interests in mind at all times. Having him to coordinate all the details made me feel at ease.. I knew I was in good hands! On our actual wedding day, we were so well taken care of. The staff made sure we were eating (haha, doesn't always happen at weddings!) and everything ran so smoothly. Later in the evening, a very traumatic family emergency happened during the reception that put a frightening pause on the celebration. John was a rock and I really felt like I looked to him for the "What now?" John & Nikki were different from some of our other vendors with whom we'll probably not be in touch again. I feel like we'll be sending John & Nikki Christmas cards for years to come.. :) They embraced us and made us feel like family, and I'm certain they will you too.

    Wonderful from start to finish. John and Nikki were the perfect hosts for our wedding. When I first…read moresaw the lovely way that they had transformed the loft space into a welcoming/beautiful environment - I knew that all would be well- and it was. John, Nikki, and the staff of A Small Affair are professional, attentive, and easy to work with. My guests and my husband and I were thrilled with the whole "affair". Food was delicious, well prepared and presented. Staff were helpful and considerate. Call these people- you will be happy with your choice.

They arrived on time, set everything up professionally and made the entire process stress-free. Our guests kept complimenting the food all day. The portions were generous and the service was outstanding. I would absolutely use them again and highly recommend Nick for any special occasion.

Nick set up a 40 x 40 ft tent flawlessly, provided all the lighting and the table chairs, dishes etc etc - basically everything. He then set up an on-site kitchen that delivered with some of the best food: His chateaubriand grilled on a charcoal grill was outrageous. His calamari was tender and cooked on sight. His salads were fantastic, and even the asparagus was great. For dessert his Banana foster garnered rave reviews. Likewise for his shrimp, salmon and lamb chops. No one left hungry or disappointed. Nick had the good thought at our home based wedding located on the Great South Bay to drop the flaps on the tent when the wind picked up at the end of the ceremony. We didn't have to tell him - he anticipated what we needed for the event to be a success. That is Nick's secret - his experience and cooking expertise makes him anticipate your needs before you do! His crew of 6 were so helpful and caring. Every guest told us it was the best wedding they had been to. Why? Great food, caring help, smart plentiful choices. When the great evening was done, the backyard was left spotless with almost no reminders a great event occurred there. I wish I had photos to add but we were all busy enjoying ourselves, so I will post when we get them from the photographer Thank you Nick and the Tanglewood crew- you are the best!
