We make you feel like part of the family.
Beginning at just age 17 as a member of Jacques Catering’s delivery staff, it’s fair to say that Frank has worked his way from just about every department within the company to become vice president and IT manager today. As a result, Frank brings over 25 years of special event and food/beverage experience.
Originally hailing from Staten Island, Frank moved to Middletown, NJ as a teen. He graduated from Seton Hall with a bachelor’s in economics, which he used (and still does!) to expand and improve on our company’s goal: “elegance and class on every budget.”
As a citizen of NJ, Frank has been actively volunteering since 2011 with numerous charities focused around providing children with the necessary school supplies to both attend and contribute to the fine arts, among several other charities about which he is very passionate. Next time you see him, ask what he’s been up to lately!
You are part of the Jacques family when you walk through our doors, and we all strive to make your event as special and memorable as possible.

Catering is a passion that comes from the soul. It runs in the family and never dies.
Steven began his career in hospitality immediately upon graduating from Johnson & Whales University in 1994. While at school, he pursued a bachelor’s in hospitality sales and meeting management and entered the workforce as a team member for the Scottsdale Hilton Resort and Spa in Arizona.
After pursuing a career in hotel management, Steven decided to return to his childhood roots, packing up and moving back to New Jersey in 2000 to rejoin the family business!
Steven is a very focused individual, and his focus helps our Reception Center maintain the legacy of elegant, high-quality food and experiences that his family started decades before him.
Steven is a family person who values both his personal family and his Jacques family (many of whom fall under both categories!). “I am glad to be able to offer our customers the same passion for catering as the rest of my family and to carry that passion on for another generation.”
Clients today are not just looking for fabulous food and décor, but also quality, value and a company dedicated to their dreams.
Lisa has been a valued member of Jacques Exclusive Catering since May of 2011, and since then, she has on so many occasions demonstrated her superior knowledge of and devotion to the food industry. Both are truly unparalleled.
As a child of the food industry, Lisa was peeling carrots before she could even talk, and she uses that upbringing—and the years of professional experience since—to help all clients achieve their event visions on a daily basis.
Such organizations as the Drumthwacket Foundation, E-Trade and Ernst & Young all consistently rely on Lisa specifically to manage their events and produce a successful experience—oftentimes with complicated challenges!
Before joining the Jacques family, Lisa worked for such distinguished New York City venues as the Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the Museum of Natural History and Goldman Sacks. Lisa also opened The Oakland House Restaurant & Caterers in Red Bank, NJ.
Once she sold her business, Lisa found her place with another family-run business (ours!) and has been passionately working with our clients ever since.
