Accommodating, Professional, Delicious food

We worked with Jenn at Joshua Catering for a late April 2022 wedding and she made our wedding planning easy and less stressful. Her experience shines through in her recommendations and comprehensive planning. Additionally, she is timely, responsive, and accommodating. All of our guests also commented on how delicious both the hor d'oeuvres and dinner meals were. We would highly recommend Joshua Catering.

Thank you, Ridgeland Mansion/Joshua's Catering!

My husband and I had our wedding at Ridgeland in April and it was outstanding. The venue was beautiful; I loved the different areas of the venue. The ceremony took place down in the lower garden, the cocktail hour was in/outside the barn, the reception was in a large tent. I really loved the fire pit area adjacent to the tent – it gave people another location to hang out and talk if they didn’t want to dance. The mansion with the bridal suite was gorgeous and homey.

Jenn and the servers were phenomenal. Jenn is one of those people who has everything under control, you don’t have to worry. The servers were so kind and attentive. Many guests commented on how wonderful the service was.

A standout example of the excellence of Ridgeland Mansion/Joshua’s Catering - our officiant was late and Ridgeland seamlessly flipped our cocktail hour and ceremony at the last minute to accommodate. They were so flexible and pulled this off so well. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The food was outstanding. Joshua’s Catering has many vegan and vegetarian options, and was considerate of guest dietary needs. We did all vegan/vegetarian hors d'oeuvre and everything was delicious.

Ridgeland Mansion was amazingly affordable, particularly given the beautiful venue, the delicious food, and the tremendous level of service. Definitely a hidden gem of the Philadelphia wedding scene.

We just adored Ridgeland Mansion as a wedding venue. We wanted to find a place that accommodated a large number of people, but didn’t want a ballroom. Ridgeland Mansion really fit the bill. Everything was lovely, but at the same time felt simple, not over the top.

Ridgeland also graciously allowed us to bring our dog which was much appreciated!

Can we get married again just to get the catering?

From the moment Jenn called us for our consultation I knew this was the place for our wedding catering. The team at Joshua's Catering is unbelievably kind, easy to work with, and so so friendly. We booked with Joshua's before we even did our tasting, as we were on a tight timeline, based on the amazing reviews and their warmth during our conversations. When we got to our tasting, we were completely blown away. It was truly some of the most delicious food I've had, and goes above and beyond what you would expect for a wedding meal. We talked about our tasting constantly between then and the wedding day and were so excited to have that meal again.
On our wedding day, Joshua's again was the absolute best. Our guests were also blown away by not only the quality and deliciousness but by the level of service and friendliness of the staff. As the bride & groom, we were well taken care of, including a tray of cocktail hour apps while we were taking pictures!
We wish we could get married again just to experience what a pleasure it was to work with Joshua's, but if we ever have other catering needs in the future, they'll be our one and only call :)
Also, their clear and upfront pricing was so helpful for logistics and planning.
