    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!!!!!

    Great Experience!

    Let me just say - I was not an easy client! I had no idea what I wanted catering wise, but Andrea worked SO hard with me - everything ended up perfect thanks to her! We ended up doing kind of a mix of stations and buffet and it really worked out so well! I'm so grateful for Andrea, I never could have figured out a plan if it wasn't for her.

    Fantastic experience with C&J

    We used C&J for our catering, floral and design, and day-of-coordinating needs on our October 2nd wedding. The food was phenomenal. Everything was cooking perfectly (and for anyone who does book, try the salmon at their tasting!), presentation was beautiful, service was exceptional. I got so many compliments on the waitstaff from our guests! They did an awesome job. I also booked them for our rehearsal dinner and brunch the morning afterwards, and boy was I glad I did, they did an amazing job with those buffet events as well.
    I used C&J for our floral & design – again, exceptional work. The flowers were gorgeous, and came out to a T how I described wanting my aesthetic to look. Courtney did an amazing job and paid very close attention to the details.
    Part of the reason I sought out C&J was to find a team of vendors who worked closely together, and C&J was a prime example of how this works well.
    C&J and especially Danielle, Jim, and Courtney, thank you for taking care of us on our wedding weekend.

    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!!

    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!

    No task too big

    C&J catering hands down was incredible to work with. Planning a wedding is stressful but planning during a pandemic was stress x 1000 and C&J put us at ease. They were so accommodating, so flexible. Our guest count changed drastically and they were very accommodating. Our cocktail hour start time changed by 30 mins and they were ready to go with the new start time.
    The food was delicious. My favorite was the crab stuffed chicken. The appetizers especially the mini crab cakes were delicious. Everything came out hot.
    I asked them to do the cake as well and they took my vision and ran with it. It was everything that I could have imagined.
    No task too big or too small for this company.

    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!!!

    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.

    C&J Catering's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words! We loved working with you and wish you both the best for your future!

    They were great!!

    We used C&J for our wedding at The Star Barn in Elizabethtown. They allowed me to customize anything I needed including needing a vegan kids option. Whenever I had a concern, they were right there with answers and fixed any issue I had. The plated meal the day of my wedding went off without a hitch and in no time at all. Everyone complimented the cocktail hour and Chrissy ran a tight ship on food, making sure everything was perfect! Contessa was our day of coordinator through them. I have never been more thankful for a person then I was for Contessa on our wedding day. If you are booking C&J, request Contessa (she is hands down freaking fabulous in every single way possible). My favorite phrase of my wedding day was, "Go find Tessa, she will take care of it". From blow drying my sister's dress when a drink got spilled on her to helping me get cleaned up at the end of the night, she was the best friend I didn't know I needed on that day!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    We used C&J Catering for our wedding at Ironstone Ranch. These people were amazing - from start to end. We first met with Contessa during our tour at Ironstone Ranch. She was super thorough and gave many ideas. We were assigned Courtney as our wedding coordinator and we had a blast with her every time we met with her! Sadly (but good for her!) she got promoted so we had to switch to Danielle. Danielle was such a sweetheart and so very helpful! She came into our planning process towards the end and it was like she had been there all along. I was so impressed with how she picked up where Courtney left off. She worked with me to make sure every detail was planned accordingly.

    There are so many food options. We didn't even know what to choose! We finally narrowed it down for our tasting and we were not disappointed at all. The food was fabulous! We received compliments during our wedding about how good their dinners were.

    Thank you guys for your hard work!

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!

    C & J did such a tremendous job at my daughter Diana's wedding which was held at Historic Acres of Hershey. They made the whole reception come together to complete the vision my daughter had. Guests found their tables by looking at window panes provided by C&J. The linens and china provided made the tables look so beautiful! The Bourbon and Bubbly Bar that was set up by them looked picture perfect. The appetizers were certainly a big hit and very tasty. The bartenders were very efficient and kept the drinks rolling. The food was served family style and was absolutely delicious. It was served hot, and there really were plenty of delectable choices for the guests. C&J also set up a very appealing s'mores bar for our guests. Our first coordinator became pregnant, and we were given 2 coordinators to take her place. Kristy and Danielle met with us on numerous occasions and were always available to answer questions. Kristy was simply amazing the evening of the reception. She was on top of all aspects of their responsibilities. She is truly a master at managing her staff and taking care of the guests. I would highly recommend using C&J to make a wedding dream come true.

    C&J Catering was extremely professional and helpful for our wedding planning stage and the day of our wedding. We highly recommend C&J Catering for future weddings and other events. The staff were very friendly and helpful when it came to things we just didn’t know. They have a lot of experience on their staff. The food was delicious, and the coordination was incredible. We entire process from start to finish was stress-free and easy. Very happy with our decision to go with C&J Catering! Special thanks to Natalie! Super knowledgeable and friendly!

    We could not have done our Daughter's wedding this month without C&J Catering. Danielle was our food coordinator and did an amazing job down to every detail. We also had Evon as our day of coordinator. The whole wedding week went so smoothly with their professional and amazing guidance and assistance. We truly could not have had the magical day with out them. We truly recommend them!!
