I worked with RAPT for a book launch event for a high net worth individual and it was excellent. Not only was the set up perfectly done, everything was high quality and all the guests raved about the food. It was a non-alcoholic event and they put together the most amazing mocktails. Folks were so impressed we received several inquiries on who catered. They were communicative, incredible service day of and throughout and pricing aligned with the request. Highly recommend!
Our non-profit organization hosts frequent events and we recently began partnering with RAPT. They are extremely professional, thoughtful, experienced and, most importantly, provided delicious food for our community. I highly recommend them for your next catered event. I am not an Event Planner by trade but took on this event and I greatly appreciated their guidance and willingness to work with a novice like myself who did not consider some aspects of the event during the planning process. The entire organization from leadership to service staff were tremendous. I look forward to continuing a long productive relationship with RAPT going forward.
I work with RAPT on many of our catering events for our luxury fashion house - not only is the food incredible every time, but they are professional and extremely amazing to work with. Our clients and customers are always impressed by the presentation and even more so with the taste! Stacey and Andy are so accessible via email and phone - making my job seamless and great to continually partner with!!
We are proud to recommend RAPT for any private catered event. Our NYC surprise birthday cocktail party was the most impressive party any of our guests had ever attended!! The food was scrumptiously delicious, flowers were stunningly beautiful and the service impeccable It exceeded any expectation we had dreamed of for our event!! Kudos to Andy, Stacey and their remarkable team!!!
My wife and I were looking for a bartender for a nonprofit fundraiser, and with RAPT we got that and a whole lot more. Andy was very responsive and helpful in planning our event and the bartender, Tony, was excellent. We chose to supply our own alcohol and most of the ingredients but RAPT offered one specialty cocktail, Listen to Confucius, and it was a huge hit - far succeeding our expectations! I'd highly recommend them on the grounds of both service and drink quality.
Rapt Affairs provides all the elements for hosting a perfect event -- highest quality ingredients for food and cocktails, an artistic yet chic presentation of food, drinks and ambiance, and a staff that is attentive and detail oriented. From start to finish, working with Andrew Founder was a pleasure. His ideas and execution makes every event a complete success. Rapt Affairs will always be my go-to source for an unforgettable event!!!
I've worked with dozens of event companies in NYC, but the RAPT team is one of the absolute best. Professional, courteous, diligent, and most important: unique. Their cocktails are imaginative, their food distinct, and team hardworking. There's no party like a RAPT party!
I wish I could give more than five stars!!! RAPT recently catered a film shoot I produced. The food was absolutely FANTASTIC. Fresh, different every day, and always on time and delicious. They went above and beyond to treat our crew to the best-- people are still talking about it which NEVER happens. Like a few of our crew members even bragged to their friends about how good the food was on our set! The corn bread was honestly the best I've ever had in my life three people on our team said the same. The short rib they served literally melted in your mouth and everything was seasoned to perfection. They were wonderful about taking into account some strict dietary restrictions and made our whole team feel well taken care of, not to mention they are the absolute nicest people. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They handled our large volume in a short time frame with ease and the food was absolutely incredible. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
RAPT is wonderful and crucial to the success of all our events. They are prompt and dependable - their service is fantastic, and they consistently go above and beyond to ensure our openings are flawless. From the minute details to broad strokes like suggesting food and beverage choices, we are always extremely satisfied. Thank you to Andrew and the team!
The moment you arrive to a Rapt Affair, you are thrown into an imaginative, whimsical fantasy world. It is an artist's Heaven with beautifully detailed ornate touches completely surrounding you and embracing all of your senses. Vision, sound, aromas, and taste. The drinks and hors d'oeuvres are truly delectable. All of the drinks and food are catered from locally owned farms. The drinks are elegant and crisp. The food is beautiful and tastes superb. They provide multiple entertainment, from a band to even magical aerial acts! Rapt Affair's charming service all are very attentive and everyone involved seems to be having a great time and enjoying their work. An unforgettable experience, that I will treasure always.
