We were told over and over again by many vendors and planners how amazing the food at JDK is! Let me tell you - they were right! The food was unbelievable and still has my guests talking about it! The buttermilk chicken breast was to die for. They also nailed my hors d'oeuvres preferences - grilled cheese bar and pierogi station! And the night was complete with our build-your-own ice cream station. The service was impeccable and the staff was all so kind. Even the bartenders were fantastic and did amazing jobs with our signature drinks and beyond. I will say that we went over budget with JDK but don't regret it one bit - we absolutely got the delicious food and quality service that we paid for.

Amy and her team were incredible. Our daughter asked the staff to grill steak, serve family style, set the table, and more. Everything was set beautifully and delicious. All the guests raved about the choices, and they were very accommodating to those with food allergies.

We had Rettew's cater our wedding. Everything was fantastic. The food was delicious. The presentation, plate settings, & linens were all very nice looking. The dessert table was a huge hit. Thank you to Kim Loose for her professionalism and being so easy to work with. We had several last minute changes and they were able to accommodate without issue.

Joy and the entire Festive Boards team added so much heart and care to our wedding day. From the very beginning, they treated us with genuine kindness and made us feel so supported throughout the whole planning process. On the day of the wedding, their coordination, warmth, and attention to detail were extraordinary. The food was incredible—not only delicious but clearly made with pride and creativity. Our guests are still talking about it. But beyond the food, it was the service that made the biggest impact. Joy’s team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and they did it all with such a joyful and uplifting spirit. We couldn’t be more grateful. Festive Boards helped make our wedding feel effortless, beautiful, and filled with love. We wholeheartedly recommend Joy and her team to anyone wanting a catering experience that is both exceptional and deeply caring.

I would recommend Jeremy for any event that requires catering. We used Exclusively Yours for our wedding and couldn't be happier with the services we received. I decided to call Exclusively Yours because of the descriptions of their food on the menu. Most everything sounded like it would be a good option. In his cooking, Jeremy phases out ingredients that are common allergies. For example, my fiancé has a tree nut allergy, one of my groomsmen has a peanut allergy, and we had a guest who has Celiac disease and could not have gluten. Jeremy said that we did not have to worry about any of those allergies for the entrees that we chose which was a relief to hear. My very first call with Jeremy was after normal business hours so I was appreciative that he picked up. I told him what services I required(bartending and food), and the amount of people I would potentially have. Jeremy took the time on the first phone call to put a mock menu together to see what the pricing would be. When this was completed, I went back and changed some menu items and the number of guests. Jeremy again put together a mock menu so I could see what the pricing would look like. This all took place even before I decided to hire Jeremy and Exclusively Yours as our caterer. I called back about a week later and decided that I was going to use Exclusively Yours. Jeremy did require a deposit to hold the date, as well as a signed contract. I was able to pay throughout the whole process online and with a credit card for no extra fee to me. Jeremy always responded to my emails and if he didn't answer my phone call, I always got a phone call back in a timely manner. After I paid the deposit, Jeremy reached out to me and informed me that I could schedule a tasting to see if I wanted to stick with the menu items that we chose. We both loved the food items that we chose and decided to stick with them for the wedding. If all else went wrong, the way the food tasted was enough to save the event. A few weeks before our wedding, Jeremy caught that we did not have linens yet for our tables. He was able to provide linens for us to rent for the day of our wedding. I'm not sure how we missed the linens but I was grateful for Jeremy's catch. The day of the wedding, Jeremy and his staff were phenomenal. Everyone got served in a timely manner and the guests were raving about the food. My 94-year old grandmother is a notoriously picky eater and she finished her food that day and that was heartwarming to witness. We were satisfied with the bartending services we received as well. We were pleased with the interactions between Jeremy, his staff, and our guests. Overall, I would highly recommend Jeremy and Exclusively Yours for any event that requires catering. The food was great, Jeremy was easy to work with, and our guest absolutely loved the food. It is to the point now that if I was planning another event, I would highly consider having it in central PA so I could use Exclusively Yours again.

Joe and the ginger babies team was the BEST EVER for our wedding. We had a dry wedding so food was really important to us so our guests were full and happy! We went all out and Joe happily accommodated and provided EVERYTHING we wanted and more. We talked many times throughout and had meetings and he was always so workable and reliable. Joe also catered our wedding shower. Everything was beautiful and delicious for both events. He also provided a brunch for morning of for the bridal and groom suites. It was amazing! We got so many compliments on the food. We didn’t have many leftovers! We actually didn’t have leftovers of most things… and there was plenty of food! Which I heard from most other couples that there’s always a ton of leftovers. Safe to say everyone loved the food! Not only that, we also got compliments on the service and servers that day too. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Everything flowed smoothly and my husband and I had no worries! We are so happy with our decision to book gingerbabies. Everything went perfectly. We would do it over again and would recommend them to everyone for any event! Thank you so much Joe!

We used Milk + Honey Catering for our wedding with 100 guests and had a great experience! Kirk was great to work with - we wanted to do food stations with a variety of options based on our favorite foods (tacos, bbq, mediterranean) and he did not disappoint. We heard great feedback from guests about the food & saw many people going up for seconds...and thirds! Would definitely recommend Kirk and Milk + Honey for your next event.

We couldnt be happier with Encks. Kim was wonderful to work with in going over the menu and logistics of the day. All of our guests raved about the food. I was up last to get food from the buffet because I was doing my rounds to say hi to all of my guests and one of the servers was kind enough to offer to take my dinner plate to my table so I could get from the salad bar as well and not try to juggle 2 plates. I asked the staff if they could go around before cocktail hour and turn on the lights I had inside mason jars for my center peices and they of course were very accommodating to me. We are 100% pleased with our experience from Encks. Thank you Kim & staff.
