11/10 Recommendation

Tommy and Diverse Catering are absolutely awesome! They made our Power Plant wedding in October a huge success. The team recently had some transitions that I was concerned about, but Tommy quickly stepped in and gave me absolute confidence throughout the entire planning process. Not only was the food for our cocktail-style reception delicious (received tons of compliments from guests), but they also played a critical role in the day-of logistics. Diverse even helped manage our Pittsburgh cookie table on top of everything else, which was a lot of extra work.

Diverse has a lot of heart and the skills to back it up on all fronts. I am so glad we had the opportunity to work with them and would highly recommend them for any event!

More than just catering

Diverse catering provided more than just catering services. They helped make the ceremony, dinner, tables look like it was out of a magazine. Jess is so personable and makes you feel at ease. She was the most relaxed wedding vendor I worked with and her calm demeanor makes you feel less stressed! The food was amazing (we had a bbq wedding). Jess accommodated all of our dietary preferences and every guest cleaned their plates. We are so happy we chose Diverse to cater our wedding!

The very best

Our experience with Jessica at Diverse Catering was nothing short of phenomenal. She was professional, kind, and on her A game at all moments. Diverse was willing to work with our limited budget while delivering a memorable experience. On the day of the wedding, she did the role of a coordinator by helping to set up the venue and break down. This was such a helpful bonus that we are forever grateful for. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food and how amazing her staff was! Go with Diverse Catering, I can’t imagine a better caterer for a wedding. (P.S. - I have celiac disease and her chef and team were able to accommodate me perfectly with gluten free options. So thankful!)

More Than Just a Caterer

Diverse Catering came highly recommended from our venue - and it only took me speaking to Jess once to see why. From the first interaction, Jess was warm, helpful and professional. My now husband and I had a strict budget, and Jess was extremely creative and flexible with us on how to adjust, without sacrificing what we ultimately wanted. When we had the tasting with Diverse, my parents, husband and I were blown away. The food is incredible, and the tasting session was a full meal that we had a great time at! I can't express how above and beyond Jess and her team went. She helped with setup (which looked INCREDIBLE) and breakdown, and the team, while it seemed like they weren't even there and they blended in, made the whole experience so amazing. They were friendly, courteous, and always looking to help. People are still raving about the steak we had! Even the pickiest of eaters told us that our cocktail hour was the best cocktail hour they had ever been to, and they ended up full from it. I would recommend Diverse Catering to anyone - from a limited budget to an endless budget. I hope to work with them in the future if I have another type of event!

Good food, excellent service, warm and professional team

The food at our wedding was great, but more importantly I'm not sure how I would have planned this event without Jessica and her team.

Jessica was flexible from the beginning as well as helpful and transparent about budget. She helped us find a menu we loved that we could afford. The day of, her team set up and took down everything in the venue. The staff was warm and professional, and helped to make our wedding perfect. The bartender gracefully accommodated my request made only a few days before to make mulled wine as a signature drink. Everyone was friendly and attentive.

Also, try the cheesesteak pierogi hors d'oeuvres.

Jess was amazing and really helped make our wedding day come together. We had a mid-day wedding and wanted a brunch-style reception, and she was flexible and willing to work with us to make that happen. We had salmon, waffles, frittatas, bacon, veggies, and more, and it was all so delicious. We didn't have a day-of coordinator or wedding planner, and Jess coordinated with all the vendors the day of to make sure everything went off without a hitch! Jess was also easy to work with, friendly, responsive, and upfront with pricing. She and her team also set out our decorations the day of and had decorations of their own to add around the venue.

Weddings can be a stressful experience. Catering can feel like an especially stressful piece of that. Jess and the Diverse Catering team helped to remove all of that stress while providing a phenomenal catering experience. They worked with us to build the perfect menu for the evening, from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the stations-styled dinner. They were thoughtful throughout the night, helping to make sure that both us and our guests were taken care of. When we arrived at the reception venue, they ensured that we were immediately provided with hors d'oeuvres. One of the members of their team was assigned to us throughout the night to make sure that our needs were catered to, checking in throughout the evening to make sure that we had food and drink as needed. Leading up to our wedding, they helped to coordinate with the rest of our vendors, once again removing a bit of stress from our plate. Beyond removing stress, the food was top-notch. Since the wedding, family and friends have been extremely complimentary of the food. We would highly recommend working with the wonderful team at Diverse Catering!

Jessica and the Diverse team were incredible for our August wedding! We found Diverse through a list of preferred vendors provided by our venue (Colonial Dames in Philadelphia). Since we were a long-distance couple (residing in NYC), Jessica and I had LOTS of phone chats and emails throughout the planning process. She was always incredibly prompt whenever I had a random question to ask, and I always felt like I was in great hands. Jessica was also extremely knowledgeable with the set up for our venue because they are frequently hired as caterers there - we really looked to her to be the expert and she helped us time and time again. She was always super positive and upbeat, which was so needed when planning got stressful and hectic! Jessica was also very flexible with scheduling our tasting since we were traveling in from NYC, and we were so glad we had the opportunity to taste the (delicious) food before the wedding. On the actual day of the wedding, Jessica's team really delivered - they were so attentive to me and my husband and made sure we were well fed and happy. (We were both - and I know that the former isn't true for many couples on their wedding day!) The food was not only delicious, but the service from the whole team was AMAZING. Everything was flawless and we could not have asked for more. Thank you, Jessica and Diverse!

We had a fantastic experience with Diverse Catering for our wedding. We went to several tastings with other caterers, but it was obvious Diverse was the one before the main courses even came out. They had me at the cheese fondue with pretzel bites, really. Ken was super easy to work with, and he provided a really generous spread and variety for us to taste when we came in to meet him. The food was outstanding and the menu options were varied enough that we could have an eclectic mix of foods that would make everyone happy. I'm vegetarian and I like spicy foods, so Ken made sure to provide several vegetarian options for us to choose from, even adapting a few vegan versions of meat dishes for us. Our guests really enjoyed the variety as well, and people definitely went up for seconds! Overall, I would definitely recommend working with Diverse. Their food is fresh and delicious, they are super easy to work with, and their prices are very fair. Love them!

You really weren’t what we expected (for the better), getting a wedding organiser as well as a caterer really REALLY made the day work better than we thought it would. Not only was all the food and your staff amazing on the day, you just went above and beyond to help with everything and it really means SO much to us. That salmon….wow!! I wish I had more time to eat more of it during the night but it flew by, that’s for sure.

i would recommend anyone in the area to use Mike and his team for their function and especially wedding after the experience we had with him and how much it helped on the day in not having to think about how things ran and leaving it up to him.

Thanks again Mike!!
