Wonderful experience!

We used C&J Caterers for our son's wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Andrea coordinated everything for us and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Even with all of our questions as the wedding date neared, she was always patient and accommodating. On the day of the wedding, the guests raved about the food, the presentation, and the service. C&J has a wonderful, professional staff who works really hard to make sure you and your guests have the best time. We're so glad that we went with C&J, and I would absolutely recommend them without reservation. :-)

Amazing to work with!

Everyone at C&J Catering was so kind and more than willingly to make accommodations for us. I’m gluten free and they provided so many different gluten free options which took so much stress off of me and my other guests with allergies. They were always quick to respond if we had a concern about anything. The food is incredible! Definitely high quality food and service. I 100% recommend using C&J for your special day!

C&J Catering is the Ultimate Wedding Caterer

C&J Catering provided all the food for our wedding November 2024 at the Star Barn in Elizabethtown, and it couldn't have turned out any better. From the charcuterie board display to passed hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour to our plated meals and late night snack at the reception, everything looked and tasted spectacular. We had guests from all over the country, and they couldn't stop ranting and raving about the food, especially the mini cheesesteaks, tomato basil arancini, bacon wrapped dates, risotto stuffed chicken, and braised short ribs. Then again I knew they would because of one particular person, and that's our event consultant Andrea Beshara. She ensured everything would be perfect, and it certainly was. I may have lost track of the amount of questions I asked her this past year, but there’s something I didn’t forget, and that was her patience and understanding. No matter what question I had, she always responded in a timely fashion and with such courtesy. She had great ideas and recommendations for cocktail hour and plated dinners. Not to mention she helped me tackle champagne toasts, linens, and napkins. Everything looked and tasted phenomenal, and I attribute all that to my girl, Andi. That girl deserves a raise!

Exceeded Expectations!

As an out-of-state wedding planner, I had the pleasure of working with C&J Catering & Decor for a recent wedding at the beautiful Brookmere Winery in Belleville, PA. I was thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and creativity.

Catering: The food was outstanding, showcasing local flavors that delighted both the couple and their guests. The team was attentive and executed the event perfectly, ensuring everyone had a fantastic dining experience.

Floral Design: The floral arrangements were breathtaking, perfectly complementing the winery’s rustic charm. They captured the couple’s vision beautifully and, in short, "nailed it"!!!

Overall, C&J (specifically, Andrea and her team) exceeded my expectations with their exceptional service and quality. I highly recommend them to any couple planning a wedding in this stunning region!

C&J Catering and Bartending Service

Working with C&J was amazing! Andrea was incredibly prompt with her responses throughout the process. They carried out our vision perfectly. Several of our guests said our food was delicious and “the best wedding food” they ever had! The bartending service with our signature his and hers cocktails were also done beautifully!

You can't get any better than C&J Catering!

I've had the pleasure to experience working with the team at C&J catering for many years. The food, the customer service, the bartenders, and the attention to detail were all top-notch. During my wedding planning experience, working with Andrea was such a dream! I think back to the earlier months of working together to come up with our menu - and the culinary team did a fantastic job whipping up some inspirational dishes that went along with our St. Patrick's Day theme. We had custom hors d'oeuvres and desserts that our guests went NUTS over. And they were very inclusive by ensuring that my guests with gluten free allergies also left with full bellies. The brisket....*chef's kiss* There weren't many leftovers and that's the biggest compliment of all to C&J Catering. All of the little details, all of my late-night emails, all of the careful attention made for a beautifully executed wedding day. Job well done!!!!!

Great Experience!

Let me just say - I was not an easy client! I had no idea what I wanted catering wise, but Andrea worked SO hard with me - everything ended up perfect thanks to her! We ended up doing kind of a mix of stations and buffet and it really worked out so well! I'm so grateful for Andrea, I never could have figured out a plan if it wasn't for her.
