Not every wedding needs a formal banquet. Some couples want something more memorable than the standard chicken-or-fish option. That's where Culto Italiano Pizzeria comes in. We bring authentic Italian catering to wedding events throughout Bergenfield and Bergen County.
Whether you're planning a casual reception, an intimate rehearsal dinner, or just want late-night pizza for your guests, we can make it happen. Our approach is simple: the same quality food we serve in our restaurant, delivered fresh to your wedding venue.
Wedding Events
— Our Culto Italiano Team Caters
We've catered just about every type of event you can think of in Bergenfield and the surrounding area. Each one is a little different, and we've learned how to adapt.
Rehearsal Dinners
The night before your wedding should be relaxed and fun. A rehearsal dinner catered by Culto Italiano gives you exactly that. Gather your wedding party and close family for a meal that feels warm and personal, not stiff and formal.
We can set up a full Italian spread: appetizers to start, pasta and entrees for the main course, and of course, our pizzas for those who want them. It's the kind of meal that gets people talking and laughing — exactly what you want the night before the big day.
Wedding Receptions
Italian food at a wedding reception isn't as unusual as you might think. We offer full catering services including casual outdoor receptions, backyard weddings, and smaller celebrations where the couple wanted something different from the typical catering hall menu.
For receptions, we can set up buffet-style service with a full menu: appetizers, salads, pasta stations, entrees, and a pizza option that always draws a crowd. It's comfort food at its best, and your guests will remember it.
Late-Night Pizza
This is one of our favorite wedding services. After hours of dancing and celebrating, your guests are hungry again. A late-night pizza delivery is a surprise that always gets a huge reaction. We've delivered fresh pizzas to reception venues at 10pm, 11pm, even midnight.
It's become a popular trend, and we understand why. There's something special about gathering with your new spouse and your guests around a pile of hot pizza at the end of your wedding night.
Bridal Showers and Engagement Parties
The celebrations start long before the wedding day. We offer any kind of event catering from bridal showers, engagement parties, to other pre-wedding events. These gatherings are usually smaller and more casual, which makes Italian catering a natural fit.
Why Choose
Italian Catering
for Your Wedding?
Italian food is about more than just eating. It's about gathering, celebrating, and sharing a meal with people you love. That's exactly what a wedding is supposed to be.
When you serve Italian food at your wedding, you're creating an atmosphere. It's warm. It's generous. It's the kind of meal where people go back for seconds and linger at the table. Compare that to the typical plated dinner where everyone gets the same portion and the meal is over in 45 minutes.
There's also the practical side: Italian catering is often more affordable than traditional wedding catering. You can feed more guests for less money without sacrificing quality. That leaves room in your budget for other priorities.

Booking Process
Planning food for a wedding is different from planning a regular catering order. We get that. Here's how we approach it:
-
Initial Consultation - We'll sit down with you (or hop on a call) to understand your vision. What's the vibe of your wedding? How many guests? What's your budget? Any dietary restrictions we need to know about?
-
Menu Planning - Based on your answers, we'll put together a custom menu proposal. This isn't a one-size-fits-all package — it's built around what you actually want.
-
Tasting - For larger wedding orders, we can arrange a tasting so you know exactly what you're getting. It's also a great excuse to eat Italian food.
-
Day-Of Delivery - We coordinate with your venue and timeline to make sure food arrives fresh and ready to serve. For full receptions, we can provide setup and service assistance.
Flexible for Any
Type of Venue
We've delivered wedding catering to all kinds of venues in the Bergenfield area. Backyard weddings at private homes. Community centers and church halls. Rented event spaces. Even outdoor parks with the right permits.
Because our food is designed to travel well, we're not limited to venues with full kitchens. As long as we can get the food to you, we can make it work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book wedding catering? We recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance for wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners. For late-night pizza delivery, 2-4 weeks is usually enough. Popular dates (especially Saturday nights in peak wedding season) book up faster.
What's the minimum guest count for wedding catering? There's no strict minimum. We've catered intimate weddings with 25 guests and larger celebrations with 150+. We'll work with you regardless of size.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions? Yes. We regularly handle vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free requests for weddings. Let us know your needs during the planning process and we'll make sure everyone has something to eat.
Do you provide service staff? For delivery only, we drop off the food ready to serve. For full-service wedding catering, we can arrange setup and service staff for an additional fee.
What does wedding catering cost? It depends on your menu, guest count, and service level. Rehearsal dinners typically start around $25-35 per person. Full reception catering varies more widely. We'll provide a detailed quote once we understand your needs.
Can I do a tasting before booking? Yes, for wedding receptions and larger rehearsal dinners, we offer tastings so you can try the menu before committing. There may be a small fee that gets credited toward your final order.
