Good Food, Good Mood! — That’s the Heart of Alfonso’s Catering
Hi, I’m Griselle Alfonso, and I’m the proud owner and head chef of Alfonso’s Catering, serving clients throughout New Jersey and all five boroughs of New York City. Our motto—Good food, good mood!—is more than just a catchy phrase. It’s a way of life, a belief that every meal can bring joy, comfort, and unforgettable memories. For me, cooking isn’t just a profession. It’s my passion. It’s the spark that fuels my creativity, my business, and my soul.
Over ten years ago, my love for food turned into something much bigger than I ever imagined. I found myself drawn into the world of flavors, always experimenting, always perfecting recipes. What started as cooking for friends and family grew into catering baby showers, bridal events, birthday parties, and cozy at-home dinner parties. Every event gave me a chance to connect with people through my food, and nothing made me happier than seeing smiles and full plates.
Starting Alfonso’s Catering was one of the most exciting (and nerve-wracking) decisions of my life. But once I saw how much people appreciated the flavor, love, and heart I poured into every dish, I knew I was on the right path. My clients were connecting not just with my food, but with me—and that’s when everything clicked.
One of my favorite experiences has been working with the production industry. I discovered that a hot cup of chicken soup or a flaky homemade biscuit can completely lift someone’s spirits during a 14-hour shoot in the middle of winter. Whether it’s a film crew or a bridal party, I take pride in creating meals that energize, nourish, and comfort—because that’s what great food should do.
At Alfonso’s Catering, we bring that same personal touch and professionalism to every event, whether it’s an elegant wedding, a high-stakes corporate function, or a fun-filled festival from our mobile food truck. Our focus is always on delivering an exceptional experience—with flavor, flair, and a dash of fun.
Weddings
We know how important your wedding day is, and we make sure the food is every bit as memorable as the moment you say “I do.” From intimate garden ceremonies to grand ballroom receptions, we design menus tailored to your taste, theme, and guest list. Whether you crave classic comfort foods or gourmet bites, every dish is cooked with love and beautifully presented.
Corporate Events
We’ve catered everything from executive luncheons to film set wrap parties—and we understand that the right menu can set the tone for the entire event. Our team is reliable, on-time, and adaptable, making sure your team, clients, or cast are well-fed and happy. No matter the size or scope, we bring a mix of professionalism and personality to every corporate gathering.
Special Events
From baby showers to birthday bashes, from holiday parties to family reunions, we’re here to make your celebration even more special. Our menus are completely customizable and filled with flavor-packed options that appeal to every palate. Vegan, gluten-free, or just plain picky? No problem—we’ve got you covered.
Mobile Food Truck Catering
Looking for a unique twist to your next event? Our food truck adds a dash of fun and a lot of flavor to street festivals, outdoor parties, and corporate gatherings. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience.
At the end of the day, Alfonso’s Catering is about connection. It’s about celebrating life’s moments—big or small—with food that speaks to the heart. I started this journey alone, but I’m so grateful to now have a talented and dedicated team who share my vision and values.
Food is an adventure—and I’d love to take that journey with you.
Let’s cook up something unforgettable together!
