Let’s look at Nobil Catering as if it were a recipe for success. And like a good recipe, you need to start with quality ingredients. First, take one part Norm Imber with over 40 years of management experience in the food industry. Then, add in Bill McGinnity, a graduate of Atlantic Cape Community College’s Culinary Arts School, with over 40 years as a skilled chef and caterer. Carefully blend the two together, and the end product is a perfect mix, with over 80 years of combined culinary experience.
Since its inception in 1995, Nobil continues to deliver culinary wisdom and superb service. Imber explains why Nobil is a cut above, “Our catering services stand out from the competition as we consistently exceed expectations. We work with our customers to provide the highest quality catering experience for each event.”
Whether formal events or smaller gatherings, Nobil does the heavy lifting. Their motto, “We do…You relax,” says it all. By offering diverse menus and delicious spreads, you and your guests will be impressed with their creativity and presentation.

Your Place or Mine
As the exclusive caterer for the Ocean City Yacht Club, Nobil also caters weddings and other private events at this stunning bayside venue. Imagine the photo ops available from the seaside deck at sunset with a bay breeze at your back. With a capacity to comfortably fit up to 220 guests inside as well as a tented outdoor space, the Yacht Club serves as a premier location for that special day. And speaking of special days, clients can count on Nobil. They have catered more than 1,000 weddings over the years, at the Ocean City Yacht Club and other off-site venues, ensuring that brides and their families will have an elegant and memorable experience.
Nobil’s second location, Cousin’s in Ocean City, works well as a great spot to host smaller events. Imber explains why the two locations, located only blocks apart, serve as a “unique” showcase for their catering services. “This provides our clients with options, based on party type and number of attendees. We have had many rehearsal dinners at Cousin’s, followed the next day with the wedding at the Ocean City Yacht Club.”
If you prefer your own off-premise venue, Nobil is happy to accommodate. They pride themselves on the longstanding relationships they have formed over the years with a variety of other locations. Bringing a party to your home or another venue is never a problem for Nobil because “it’s what we do.”
The Wow Factor
Regardless of where you select to host your event, Nobil has the skill and experience to cater to your needs. Bill McGinnity heads the private catering and is extremely professional, easy to work with, and creates menus that “wow guests.” He is involved in every aspect and visible to the client from beginning to end. In addition, Nobil uses only the best locally sourced items and the freshest ingredients. Their team of experienced and extremely talented chefs, cooks, managers, bartenders, and servers always has the client’s best interest in mind.
Whether you are planning a wedding, anniversary, or other special occasion, Nobil wants you to relax and enjoy – no worries. Imber emphasizes how Nobil caters (pun intended) to everything a client needs. “And we mean everything, from tents and other rentals to music, flowers, portable restrooms, bars and bartenders, and more. Nobil can handle every detail, request, and requirement to make your special event truly outstanding, and unbelievably stress-free for you as host.”
Corporate Catering
In addition to private functions, Nobil provides corporate catering and food service management to many local businesses, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Tech Center and Atlantic Cape Community College (main campus). At these corporate locations, Nobil manages the cafeterias as well as on-premise catered events created in kitchens at those locations. Nobil also offers catering-only services for corporate locations, schools, hospitals, and casinos. At these locations, Nobil can provide food from their own catering kitchen at Cousin’s to the corporate location for the event.
One of Nobil’s unique corporate events for five years in a row was the Atlantic City Air Show. The beach extravaganza hosted private invitees, including the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce Flightline Club and their Chalet, as well as the Borgata Casino/Hotel’s VIPs. As the event grew over the years, attendance increased. During the last year of the Airshow, Nobil catered a beach barbecue serving more than 2,400 happy guests. Mission accomplished!
Although Nobil caters to private and corporate events, some clients fall into both categories. Thomas E. Reynolds, Co-Managing Partner at CRA Financial LLC, has used Nobil for private and corporate events for more than 25 years. He trusts Nobil and appreciates their “personal touch.”
Reynolds sums up his appreciation, “From the initial planning, including devising the perfect tasty menu, to running the event itself and finally breaking down and cleaning up. We never have to worry about the details because Nobil is on the scene, allowing us the freedom to just visit with our guests and just enjoy the moment.”
Nobil will spotlight the Ocean City Yacht Club at their Bridal Show on Sunday, March 8, 2026. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience it in person.
