    9.26.15 was the BEST day of our lives. We had our wedding at Iron Stone Ranch and used C&J catering for our food and flowers/decor. As someone with a type A personality, I tend to have high expectations. C&J met and exceeded every one of our expectations. The staff members are all so professional and amazing to work with- Alexis & Evon answered every question (there were many) we had and helped us create an amazing day. Evon was our coordinator for most of our planning time and she always made us feel confident that everything would amazing. She is a gem and was such a pleasure to work with. Eileen was so great on our wedding day and made sure that the plans Evon made were executed smoothly. The food was some of the best wedding food ever had (said our guests!) and the service was top notch. Melissa, Pam & Jill from the floral & decor team were amazing. They turned our vision into an amazing reality. We got SO many compliments on our flowers!! If we had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. THANK YOU SO MUCH C&J CATERING!!!!!!!

    Best food ever

    We hired C+J for our wedding catering. The food was absolutely delicious. Everyone was raving about the food. We also hired Danielle as our day of coordinator and she was AMAZING. She made our day so effortless and was constantly there whenever we needed her. We absolutely recommend C+J catering for your wedding. But even more, you should definitely hire Danielle as your day of coordinator.

    Thank you!

    C&J catering was fantastic! Sam was an amazing contact person from start to finish during the entire planning process. She was so sweet and accommodating even when we downsized from 230 people to 25 due to Covid. She always calmed me down and tried her best to make sure our day was perfect. As for our wedding day, the food was absolutely phenomenal! Everything was delicious, from our bacon wrapped meatloaf appitizer to our funfetti cannoli wedding cake. The staff was fantastic and always made sure our guests were happy. Thanks for everything!!!

    At first when I heard C&J food was amazing, I did not believe it. When we went for our first tasting I realized that we definitely picked the right place. The food was very good and so was the service. I would definitely recommend their catering services to anyone in need!

    I absolutely loveeeeee what C&J did for us at our wedding. They are sooo talented! They created such an awesome atmosphere with the centerpieces. Their food was amazing. AND the staff have to be some of the nicest people around. They really love what they do. C&J goes above the call of duty but still stays witin your means. I would recommend C&J over and over again. They are AMAZING!

    C&J’s team is fantastic. They provided our food, cake, flowers, and day-of coordinator. We had fun working with them and they answered every question we had, even anticipated some issues we didn’t know to think about and planned for potential snags. Our wedding day turned out absolutely perfect thanks to them and we could relax knowing we were in such good hands! C&J is worth every dime for their talented staff, gorgeous flowers, delicious food, and capable coordinators. Highly recommend!

    C&J Catering was an outstanding find! We truly attribute the beauty of our wedding weekend to them! Jamie Berger is an amazing wedding planner and also owner of the company. We hired her as "day of wedding planner" and she was absolutely worth every penny...not to mention that when the owner of the company is working your site, so is the "A" team from the company. Jamie was amazing at running our rehearsal the night before (rain at the rehearsal for an outdoor ceremony and she figured out how and where to change the rehearsal to without me having to worry about it at all), she was on-site basically the entire Saturday of the wedding and was back early Sunday morning to afternoon as she ran our brunch...I'm not sure when she slept!

    C&J staff is wonderful. Highly courteous, flexible and professional. Our guests are still talking about all of the amazing food! The food was always the right temperature and always kept "looking" appealing - even in steamy July! As I stood in the tent waiting to walk towards the ceremony and down the aisle, I was truly touched by how many of the C&J staff were excited for me! These employees are definitely in the right field, they all worked so hard to make my wedding day amazing.

    Melissa Pearl did an amazing job with our flowers. She went above and beyond, adding "extra" beautiful touches in several areas and not charging us for these.

    Marlo was fantastic and very reachable, we rented many items through C&J and she was great about checking and re-checking tableclothe sizes and colors, glass types, etc.

    I have to say that I also love that C&J is a woman-owned business and that most of the leaders in the business are females. It's important to me to support woman-owned businesses and without reservation I can do so with C&J!

    Experience so far!

    C&J Catering has been nothing but helpful from the start! With less than 100 days until my wedding, I have been sending non stop emails. All of my questions are answered either that day or by the next morning. It takes so much stress away! I’m glad they’re the exclusive catering company for the venue I picked!

    C&J Catering were a great addition to our special day! They were flexible and extremely professional!

    Their food is delicious and at a price that for our budget. We were thrilled with the dinner options and the staff was incredible.

    Eli was our coordinator and he was amazing! I never worried about anything. He made the day run smoothly.

    Wonderful choice!

    My Husband and I got married back on November 13th at the Ironstone Ranch in Elizabethtown Pa. We used C and J catering for our caterer and loved everything they did for us. Contessa was my coordinator from the beginning and helped us with planning everything. She was amazing and so helpful. Very detail oriented and made sure we had everything we wanted!!! We also used Megan as our day of coordinator and we are so happy we did. She was more than amazing and we were so lucky to have her. She helped me make my vision come to life. She did more than I could have ever imagined and made our day even that much more special. I honestly don't know what we would have done if we did not have her to help us. Any bride and groom would be lucky to have both of them involved with their wedding!!!

    You can't get any better than C&J Catering!

    I've had the pleasure to experience working with the team at C&J catering for many years. The food, the customer service, the bartenders, and the attention to detail were all top-notch. During my wedding planning experience, working with Andrea was such a dream! I think back to the earlier months of working together to come up with our menu - and the culinary team did a fantastic job whipping up some inspirational dishes that went along with our St. Patrick's Day theme. We had custom hors d'oeuvres and desserts that our guests went NUTS over. And they were very inclusive by ensuring that my guests with gluten free allergies also left with full bellies. The brisket....*chef's kiss* There weren't many leftovers and that's the biggest compliment of all to C&J Catering. All of the little details, all of my late-night emails, all of the careful attention made for a beautifully executed wedding day. Job well done!!!!!

    C&J Catering provides a flawless wedding experience. They are responsive, professional, and organized. Danielle was my wedding coordinator and she was absolutely fantastic. She answered any and all questions I had, provided a planning timeline, and was detail-oriented. She even decorated the ceremony and reception so that I could relax and enjoy peace on the wedding day. The food was fantastic and reasonably priced. C&J Catering is honestly excellent in every way.

    "Simply put, C&J catering is the best. After bouncing around the region in search of a good, honest caterer, we finally discovered C&J. From our first consultation to the end of our reception, the entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate our every need (even when we had uninvited extras show up for our tasting!) The entire experience was easy and enjoyable. There was not one time when we doubted their ability. We were married at Sweet Arrow Lake in Pine Grove, which was then a new venue for them. They worked seamlessly with us and the facility manager to coordinate everything from the load-in of the tables and chairs to break down and clean up. Everything about our experience,,,the food, the service, the price...all outstanding. Do yourself a favor and sign the contract, they pretty much take care of the rest. Thank you C&J for making our day so wonderful!" Tiffany and Mike Piaskowski

    Our initial meetings were with Contessa, she is first rate. As our reception was admittedly a small event, a newer coordinator took over our account. While she was slightly less responsive, she still did an outstanding job. Contessa told us their chiefs grow tired of making the same entrees event after event and like a challenge. We asked for some Indian dishes that were not on the suggested menu, they rose to the challenge. The chiefs listened and made the minor adjustments we requested, and the food at our wedding reception was fantastic. We received numerous compliments and praises from our guests who traveled from all over the US and have travel the world.

    C&J was absolutely fantastic to work with, and our food at our wedding was out of this world! Everything looked beautiful and tasted delicious, and our guests are still talking about how fantastic the food was at our wedding. The staff were excellent to work with and were very professional and eager to help during the planning process too. I am so glad C&J was our caterer for our wedding. We could not have had a better meal for big day!

    Amazing!!!!!!

    My husband and I recently had our wedding reception at the 903 and it was beautiful. The modern white furniture and layout make it super simple to decorate. As a DIY bride I appreciate this! Our guests thought the venue was beautiful. We also received tons of compliments that the food was amazing and our signature drinks were a hit thanks to the bartender. We had a little over 50 guests and we had plenty of space for a dance floor, photobooth, and caricature artist. Samantha and Shi were amazing to work with! Our wedding party had a private area upstairs where we had cocktail hour snacks. My husband and I also got a plate of food to take home with us the night of our wedding. Thank you to Samantha and Shi and the catering team for making our wedding reception a night to remember!

    Wedding Bliss

    I recently worked with C&J Catering for my wedding. They were more than wonderful and handled everything for me, from cake to flowers to food to day of planning. It made my life so much easier to have everything done in one nice package. The day of could not have went more smoothly and the food was delicious. I still have guests commenting on how great the food was! All of the staff were so accommodating and gracious. Planning a wedding can be more than stressful, but they really pulled out all the stops and eased my nerves. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to work with them. Any event, large or small, I'll be sure to reach out to them again. Seriously, everything they did for me was top notch, five stars over and over again!!

    The most perfect day!

    C&J was amazing! I have to give all the props to Danielle for making my day run so smoothly and giving me exactly what I expected on my wedding day. C&J and Danielle went above and beyond in all aspects, I could not have had a more perfect day!

    We could not have had more of a dream wedding, and C&J played a crucial part in making that happen. From our very first meeting I knew right away that they were going to be the perfect partners. They brought new, exciting ideas to the table and also did everything they could to make my ideas a reality. Everyone always talks about how planning a wedding is overwhelming, but i honestly can say that C&J not only made it much easier - but made it so much fun! I fully trusted them and would recommend them to any bride!

    Absolutely incredible team

    C&J was everything and more than I could have hoped for for our big day! From the very beginning, the staff made us feel like family and were very professional, yet friendly, fun and organized - all of which were very important to us! The C&J staff works really well together from catering to coordinating - it really took the stress off of my husband and I during our bid day.
    First - the catering/food was amazing. We were receiving compliments all night about how good the food was. We did family style so everything needed to come out hot - and they pulled it off effortlessly. They set up our dessert bar without any input from us (per my request) - and the table looked like a dream!
    Now for my favorite, the wedding coordinator, Contessa...where do I even begin? I have been working with Contessa for over a year, mainly via email because we don't live in PA. Even when my wedding was still so far out, she was very responsive to my emails and was willing to jump on calls or Facetime to help me work through my planning. She is doing at least 2 weddings per weekend, yet still made a priority to make sure I knew that she was there for me. When it came time for my big day, she blew me away! I am a very type-A when it comes to being organized and thought that I was going to be very stressed the morning of, but I was not stressed at all, and that is all thanks to Contessa. She did everything I needed her to do to a T and is the reason that our day went so smoothly. All morning while myself and my bridesmaids were getting ready she was continually coming to check on me to make sure I was okay or if I needed anything and truly cared about making sure my day was special. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful she is. Without a doubt, I would recommend her, and the entire C&J staff to anyone getting married! I love C&J!

    We used C&J catering, florals, and coordination for our wedding this September and couldn't be happier with our choice! Every aspect of our wedding was perfection from start to finish and we owe that to C&J.

    Megan was our day of coordinator and we felt completely at ease knowing that all of the details were in her hands. During the rehearsal she was serious and task oriented but she's also hilarious and fun. Thanks to her organization and attention to detail we were able to be carefree and enjoy the day with our family and friends. Everything went off without a hitch.

    When I first met with Melissa to talk about florals and design for our wedding, I knew immediately that she would be able to capture my vision perfectly. From the bouquets to the centerpieces, the aisle runner - everything looked better than I could've dreamed. We received so many compliments on the decor, many guests said our wedding looked like it was out of a magazine and was very "pintrest-worthy".

    The food was amazing, and again we received many compliments - guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. When I began menu planning with Jamie she was able to make great suggestions based off of our likes and dislikes and honestly after the tasting we had a hard time making decisions because everything was so delicious. Nicole did our catering coordinating and she was so nice and very on top of everything. Cocktail hour and dinner service progressed smoothly.

    Unlike with other vendors we had considered, the staff at C&J really made us feel like they cared about making our important day special. They were prompt at returning emails and remembered details we had talked about previously. Our contract with C&J was itemized line by line which was really helpful to keep things within budget

    C&J helped to make our wedding the most amazing day and if we had to plan it all over again we would choose C&J 10 times out of 10.

    C&J Catering did an outstanding job at our 9/12/15 wedding at Ironstone Ranch. Natalie Maldonado was my wedding coordinator, and she was fantastic. She was very prompt in returning emails, helped me plan everything out, and listened to each of my requests. For one, I knew I wanted long, wooden farm tables for the reception, so Natalie helped find me a vendor who sold them and set up an appointment for us to go see them. We appreciated that C&J offered us a taste test (basically a whole meal so come hungry - haha) before our wedding to ensure that we were happy with our meal selections. Everything was delicious and very well prepared! We had a walk-through with C&J at the wedding venue ~1 month before the wedding. During the walk-through, I went over everything for the ceremony and reception with the C&J staff. The staff really helped me to piece everything together, which really helped to ease my stress! The morning of the wedding there was another event at the venue, therefore, the C&J staff kindly set up all of my ceremony and reception decorations for me. We were met by unanticipated rain the day of the wedding, but C&J took the initiative to find great ways to use the decor that was intended to be placed outside, inside. They provided the dinnerware, utensils, glassware, linens, food, and non-alcoholic beverages for my wedding. Despite the food being displayed on a buffet for guests, the C&J kindly staff served my husband and I at our head table and catered to us throughout the night. The food was exceptional and the guests were very pleased. No request was ever too much for the C&J staff, as they transformed the cake table into a s'mores table and later a snack table. They really did a wonderful job setting up and tearing down everything quickly! I HIGHLY recommend C&J Catering to anyone planning a wedding. Our wedding day would not have turned out as smoothly as it did without their services. We cannot THANK YOU enough!!
