One million stars for John Serock + crew

I don’t even know where to start this review of John and his crew. We got put in touch with him as he’s the exclusive event caterer at our wedding venue, Loch Aerie Mansion, but even if I were booking my event anywhere else, I’d want John and his incredible staff. He treated working with us like he was planning a wedding for family.

From the jump, John as a human is down to earth, easy to talk to, accommodating, a phenomenal listener, and has a wealth of experience. As a professional, he handles everything, and thinks of everything:
Food: his food is TO DIE FOR, and not just like one or two signature dishes -- he has range (important as my husband and I are vegetarians, but we have family that think a meal isn’t complete without “meat”) and literally everything we ate was unreal. He boxed he has all the tools and software to make communicating (especially during COVID) super easy.
Staff: They were perfect and so lovely. We had a waitstaff dedicated to our head table/our hip who (unobtrusively) made sure that we constantly had fresh drinks and snacks if we wanted them all through photos, and dinner. The rest of the staff was super efficient, professional, and almost invisible in the best way. They moved our speakers from outside to inside (ceremony → dinner)
Planning: From the first moment we talked, he was immediately willing to talk about what we needed or didn’t need as though he was planning a wedding for his niece. We were doing a crazy thing planning a wedding for COVID times, and he helped us navigate the waters of -- do we pay a deposit to tent the lawn? Will legislation let us host inside? For how many people? What rentals do we need? Ugh it was a seeming nightmare but he handled it cooly, with information, and without making us pay a single unnecessary dollar. All of the tables, chairs, linens, heaters, etc. were rented through John. He coordinated it all and made it so, so easy. John has the software to make planning easy; allseated, his guest list and floorplan software, let us control the guest list and seating and have a say in the layout of the venue for the day-of, and also provided a place where he could give us expert advice on the flow of things. He wouldn’t let us make poor choices, and thought of everything from the guest perspective.
Event Logistics: Because our wedding was during COVID we didn’t have dancing and therefore decided to forgo a DJ/band and didn’t have an emcee. But you wouldn’t have known. John and his staff kept the event perfectly on schedule and helped usher people about the venue for ceremony, cocktails, and dinner. They kept us on schedule throughout dinner and speeches, and were literally perfect.

I booked John with the venue Loch Aerie Mansion, and their event designer Elizabeth. He was part of the dream team that made the event come to life and works seamlessly with the others. With that trio, you cannot go wrong

Incredible team, amazing food, absolute experts in the industry

We worked with John for our wedding this past June—and I can confidently say he is the reason our reception went off without a hitch. When I initially was researching caterers, I knew I needed someone who felt comfortable working at an offsite family venue. The reception space we used was a very unique location and it required a bit more attention to detail in the planning process. I felt so lost given how much work I realized I was in for, but John and his team put this at ease. They are insanely knowledgeable, responsive, and helped us deliver a spectacular wedding reception. From the planning process to day-of coordination, Serock Catering is the team you want to be working with. I had a vision of hosting a casual, social, yet elevated reception with stations and large open displays of food. People were running up to me all night saying, ‘this is the best food I’ve had at a wedding ever!’ While I am biased, I would have to agree! His team was so professional, friendly, and kind to all our guests throughout the night. All I heard were praises. Cheers to John Serock and his team—you made my vision to life and I am so thankful to have worked with you over the past year. I highly x10 recommend him to any future couples or events.

The best caterer!

We are so lucky that Serock was the exclusive caterer for our wedding at the Barn at Silverstone! We were blown away at our food tasting at how incredible everything tasted. We’ve been told by many of our guests that it was the best cocktail hour they’ve ever been to, AND that the dinner food was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The servers and bartenders provided excellent service. Kristy, the coordinator for Serock at Silverstone, was an absolute God-send as our right-hand woman throughout the planning process and on the day of. She is one of the main reasons our day ran flawlessly, and we were at ease knowing the details were in her hands. Due to her flawless execution of her timeline, we actually ended up ahead of schedule, which gave us more time on the dance floor! Caroline was the server assigned to my husband & I throughout the night, and it felt like every time we turned around she had a new drink for us or was offering us more food! We felt so taken care of by Kristy, Caroline, and everyone at Serock and are so grateful for their amazing services! I will recommend them over and over again!!!

By far one of the most professional and friendly staff around. They treat their employees like family and it shows in how they interact with guests and other wedding professionals. The wedding coordinators are all very well organized and make sure we are able to do our jobs throughout the day. The most important part, amazing food that is well seasoned and prepared every at every event. We have used them for our employee holiday gathering and personal parties in the past and they did great work. We highly recommend and endorse Serock catering!
