TESTIMONIALS
"Etsy has been working with Black Eyed Suzie’s since 2013. The service has always been outstanding and we can’t say enough great things about the food. Black Eyed Suzie’s provides lunch once a week for the entire office of 125 people and has catered our special events as well. Cheryl has gone above and beyond to bring us special meals and is always coming up with new dishes and treats that we enjoy. We plan on working with Cheryl for a long time, she is by far our favorite chef!"

"Cheryl created over 250 lunches for the Woodstock Land Conservancy's local food event featuring farmer Joel Salatin. She accommodated many dietary restrictions and sourced all the ingredients from area farms, lending additional relevance to our event and meaning to every bite! The food got rave reviews from attendees. Cheryl's philosophy and relationships with regional farmers makes it easy to have locally sourced food at any event."
Kevin Smith, Chairman

"We could not have been happier with the food that Cheryl & the Black Eyed Suzie's team catered for our wedding of 100+. Everything was melt in your mouth delicious and made with all local & seasonal ingredients. We heard compliment after compliment from our guests as to how the food was the best catering they had ever had. Everything tasted super fresh and the flavors & presentation were spectacular. We will definitely use Cheryl for any future catering needs we have and I would recommend her to anyone!"

Black Eyed Suzie's is my “go to” catering company. The delivery option is my life saver! I can be getting myself and my home ready for an event, with the ease of knowing the food will be delivered on time. For my buffet style parties, I always opt for food plated on the wood trays. I get to enjoy my events so much more because of Black Eyed Suzie's! I feel taken care of and loved. Oh, and the food is amazing, fresh, and delicious!”

"Black-Eyed Suzie's was the BEST!! Our guests said that our wedding food was the very best they had ever had. They were also amazed with how beautiful the presentation was. We loved the rustic bar set up, which matched our Hudson River/barn wedding perfectly! Cheryl and Susan were so kind to work with while we were planning. They are an amazing team! We had a buffet and our guests going up for food was so seamless and incredible! Everyone got to the buffet table quickly and all got to eat at about the same time! My husband and I can't wait to eat more of their food at some point in our future! It truly was a wonderful catering experience for us! If you are lucky enough to book with them, you'll be so happy that you did! They really were above and beyond anything we could have imaged."
Jes and Ryan Cerutti, Brooklyn
"Thank you for feeding our wedding guests so beautifully. Every touch was wonderful, especially the pilaf. You won over my Armenian family, my Persian best friend and my grandmother would have been proud. Thank you for giving me one of my favorite dishes from childhood. It meant the world. Your staff was wonderful, discreet and really kind. My deepest appreciation."
Robin McLean, Woodstock
"Cheryl catered my husband Leighton’s surprise birthday party and it was SPECTACULAR! As farm-to-table foodies, we wanted local and organic and no one knows or does this better than Cheryl. The menu was exquisite from the signature cocktail and locally grown, hand-crafted appetizers to the specially ordered grass-fed, farm-raised beef. It has certainly set the bar and has become the party we are still talking about."
Joyce Beymer Allenby, Rhinebeck
"Cheryl has catered many parties for me, both professional gatherings & VIP social situations. She is wonderful and the presentation & taste of her preparations are beyond compare!"
Laurie Ylvisaker, Woodstock
"I just wanted to tell you that EVERYONE has been raving about the food all weekend!! Thank you so much for helping to make this a special weekend!"
Dani Golden, New York
"Cheryl is really quite a marvel. With an incredibly up-beat demeanor, she easily creates a culinary experience rich with innovation and tailored to your needs. She moves seamlessly from classic comfort style food to more elegant presentations and is able to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions such as vegan or gluten free. Her effervescent personality is an asset to any party, and her knowledge of wine and food is really astonishing. I recommend her most highly."
