Mountain Laurel Catering specializes in creating dishes to reflect our couples -- we take into account all of your requests to custom-tailor a menu. Chef Pat served as the Acting Executive Chef at Paws Up Resort in Montana and then moved to The Inn at Dos Brisas in Texas.

Best caterer!!

Mountain Laurel Catering has the BEST food and the most responsive, flexible team! They made me a unique menu with vegan options, and we got so many compliments on how good the food was. I also love that they do the late night snack bar. You cannot go wrong with this caterer!

MLC will bring your vision to life

If you’re planning a wedding in PA, NY, or NJ and need a caterer, RUN — don’t walk — to book Mountain Laurel. Not only is their food absolutely delicious, but their entire team is fantastic.



I cannot say enough good things about our experience with MLC. They were a dream to work with — especially Ally H. Ally worked with my now husband and I to curate a menu throughout the day that was true to who we are — including the ordering and managing of all tabletop rentals. She was/is a rockstar and made something pretty stressful seem very manageable.

Our guests RAVED about the food — and these were/are some very picky New Yorkers. MLC will truly bring your vision to life — whether you need Italian hoagies for a sentimental family moment, a cannoli-inspired dessert, a purple birthday cake for a family member, or a robust list of specialty cocktails. If you book MLC, make sure to include their pierogies at cocktail hour! They’re out of this world.

MLC was the first vendor we booked after reading some rave reviews and they did not disappoint. From the first phone call, to our tasting, to the day-of — they did everything they could to make sure we were heard, and that our wishes — no matter how wild — became reality.

The BEST food!!

Mountain Laurel hands down made the best food we had ever had at a wedding. Jess worked with us extensively to create an amazing menu that we were obsessed with and that the guests absolutely loved. They covered everything from welcome drink stations, butlered appetizers, a charcuterie table, dinner, and desserts! At the wedding itself, their staff were incredibly kind and helpful and made sure the wedding party got to enjoy all the cocktail goodies as well. 10/10 recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
