About Us

A little history

New Jersey’s Sir Ives Caterers, headquartered in Monroe Township in Middlesex County, was founded in 1981 by professionally-trained chef, Christopher Ives.

Christopher says the Sir Ives team has years of experience event planning and catering special events and occasions at any off-premise New Jersey location, indoors or out, including:

  • Weddings and anniversaries

  • Corporate breakfasts, lunches, cocktail parties, holiday events, dinners

  • Active adult community events

  • Grand openings

  • Private parties and family special occasions

  • Fundraisers

Trained at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI and the illustrious Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, Christopher eventually launched his own NJ catering company. More than 30 years later, he still manages day-to-day operations but is supported by a team of professionals including executive chefs, wedding planners, corporate event planners, servers and a large support staff.
