Chair rental experts

We rented the chairs for our Penn State Arboretum ceremony from Hoag's and were not disappointed! They were a breeze to work with and made organizing stress free. Nick was kind and very responsive!

The food was really good and the service was amazing.

Hoag's catered our wedding on June 15, 2019. It was a really great experience. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. From the beginning of the planning process through the end of the wedding day, the Hoag's staff worked hard to make sure that everything was perfect for us. They truly cared about making our day special. Ashley worked with us from the office and Lynette was onsite the day of the wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better team.

We also used Hoag's for our rehearsal dinner on Friday evening. It was another great experience. I highly recommend Hoag's.

Also, they were very accommodating of guests with special diets.

Hoag's was incredibly easy to work with. They coordinated with our other vendors and made changes as needed. The food was delicious! I've been to many weddings where the food is sub par, but this was anything but! There was enough food for huge helpings buffet style and everything was hot. We had a few special requests and everything was handled with complete professionalism. I would highly recommend!

Hoag's was incredible to work with for my wedding! They provided some of the rentals at a great rate. The food was DELICIOUS. There was a great selection at the beginning and the chefs were conscious of our food allergies. Multiple guests said that they were surprised at how amazing the food was. I would highly recommend to anyone in the State College area. I also recommend the mini cheese steaks! 10/10 !!

We rented chairs for our outdoor Penn State wedding from Hoag's Catering. They provided better pricing than their local competition and were very friendly to work with. Our outdoor Arboretum ceremony was changed to an indoor Nittany Lion Inn ceremony a few hours before the event. We made a quick call to Hoag's and they delivered the chairs to the new site and set them up without a hitch. We would definitely rent from Hoag's Catering again and highly recommend them for wedding rentals!

I absolutely fell in love with the Celebration hall. When my fiancé and I had their food at his work party, we knew from that second we wanted them to cater our wedding. We've never been to the Celebration hall until our consultation. They have so many different options in packages and the rooms are so cute.

Celebration Hall and Hoag's Catering is a great, affordable reception venue that provides catering! My fiance and I were able to book a great room that overlooks the beautiful grounds for much more affordable reception catering than other local venues offered. It was a plus that we can have our wedding cake through them, courtesy of Dolce Vita Desserts, in addition to chair rentals for our off-site ceremony.

One of the main concerns that my husband and I had planning our wedding was that we only had around 50 guest. We worked with Casey coming up with the perfect layout so the room didn't look too big. From the start Casey always responded to all my emails and question in a timely manner. The day of the wedding everything was great and everything went as planned. The servers were so wonderful to us and our guest always making sure that we had our cups full and checking if we needed anything else.
We decided on having a buffet instead of a served dinner that way people can choose from more than one option. There was plenty of food and it was delicious!!! I would definitely recommend any bride to choose Hoag's catering for their upcoming wedding!

Becky Dean was so very helpful!! She had good suggestions about the food choices, linens, trellis, and pipe and draping. I would definitely use Hoag's catering for another event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
