Crafting Your Perfect Philadelphia Wedding Catering Menu

As an exclusive caterer in the Greater Philadelphia area, all wedding menus we design are custom. They highlight seasonal farm-to-table finds and are ultimately geared towards meeting the unique desires of each couple.

Prior to the wedding, sometimes even prior to booking, each couple is invited to enjoy a tasting to sample our cuisine, ensuring their wedding menu checks every box for the big day.

If you’re a foodie, know you’re in good hands with us! Previous bride Emily says:

Previous bride Sara says:

The food was incredible! They were very easy to work with and offered lots of vegan and gluten-free options.

Once you’ve chosen those perfect dishes, the last thing we want is for your guests to not enjoy their meal together. We ensure entrees are expedited without those waves of service you may have experienced at other events.

Jordan, who was married at Radnor Hunt last year, said:

Service was timely, which is an accomplishment when serving 150 meals. Each table was served at once and in-full, so guests weren’t waiting around half-served. Overall a first-class experience!

Philadelphia Wedding Cakes

It’s not a wedding if there’s no cake to cut (face smash optional!). We work with two local bakeries to provide couples with delicious cake selections that are anything but standard.

Desserts for Your Philadelphia Wedding Menu

Lots of couples choose variety when it comes to the sweet finale of their big day and will serve up an assortment of dessert choices in addition to—or in place of—a traditional wedding cake.

Late-Night Snack to Complete Your Philadelphia Wedding Menu

Sometimes the most fun part of creating a catering menu is the late-night options, because who doesn’t love late-night munchies on a special occasion?

Our local favorites are The Lost Cow and Common Good Pizza. The Lost Cow provides authentic Philly cheesesteaks made to order right at your reception. And Common Good Pizza creates made to order wood-fired pizza to satisfy your guests late night cravings. 

We have other creative options too, like the donut wall chosen by Madlyn!

We are “foodies,” and the food was absolutely incredible. We also chose to have a donut wall, which was a huge hit; we would highly recommend.
