Hope's Events & Catering

Hope is AMAZING. I cannot say enough about how wonderful she is or how tasty her cooking is. She catered our July 2017 wedding at the Fontainebleau Inn in Alpine, New York as well as our rehearsal at Buttermilk Falls State Park. Every one of our guests loved the food and could not stop raving about how fantastic it was. It’s been 6 months since our wedding and we are still receiving complements about the food - it really was that good! On top of everything else, Hope was there to support us, provide menu planning help and work with us to design our favors (a delicious homemade cookie, made fresh for our guests). I highly recommend Hope to anyone planning a wedding or any large event.

We used Hope for our October 2022 wedding. We had a very clear vision of what we wanted, incorporating cuisine from both central NY (the bride's homestate) and Michigan (the groom's homestate). With Hope's patience and expertise, she crafted a truly unique and absolutely delicious menu. No exaggeration - every guest raved about how much they loved the food. You will not go wrong in hiring her for your catering. Because of her experience in the area, she was also able to suggest other amazing vendors for drinks and desserts.

I was not impressed with Hope's Catering. Firstly, we had a largely gluten-free population so I requested some items be altered--specifically, dip NOT in a bread bowl. She did not follow directions. She also did not get us a final quote until the day before the event, and her communication was very poor. The food was also dry, and not very good. I would steer clear of Hope's Catering!

Hope's is a veritable jewel in Cayuga Heights that offers excellent service, food, and coffee to boot! I often schedule Business meetings there and have always been treated with the utmost respect and attention. I love Hope's and wish the place the best of success!!

Excellent baked goods, and now open for lunch. Warm environment, convenient parking lot in front of the Cafe, and a great staff who make you feel right at home. Don't miss this gem of an Ithaca bakery.
