Union Square Events

Union Square Events is a Brooklyn-area caterer and events company founded in 2005 by Danny Meyer, operating across cultural, corporate, entertainment, and private venues throughout New York City and beyond. Known for customized catered events guided by the principles of Enlightened Hospitality, including white glove service, personal attendants for couples, and food offerings ranging from passed appetizers and custom cocktails to plated entrees. Founded in 2005 as Hudson Yards Catering, with roots in Danny Meyer's restaurant group, which began with Union Square Cafe in 1985. Operates throughout New York City and beyond, with documented events at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Atrium and Palm House. Couples consistently praise the quality and variety of food, attentive personal attendants, and the team's ability to adapt logistics on the day; some note that the company functions primarily as a contract executor and recommend hiring an independent wedding planner to navigate the process.
