Phenomenal food. Our entire 200 person wedding loved every single bit of it! From cocktail hour, to dinner, and even dessert. 1000/10 every time.

Entrees: 3 stations: Mexican (pork tacos/burritos), American (flat iron steak with fixing’s), and Italian (chicken and pasta)
**double chefs kiss**
Desserts: brownies, choc covered pretzels and strawberries, cookies,…you name it!

Kristina A. Married on 07/31/2021Beautiful & Delicious
Gina is amazing. Her food is even more amazing. We were lucky enough to have Food for Thought cater at Gina's venue Moonstone Manor and it was just perfect! She was open to working with us on making tweaks and mix and matching all sorts of different foods and drinks. They also boxed up all the leftovers for us to take home and everything was just as delicious the second (and third) time! Highly recommend!! -

Hope G. Married on 06/05/2021Trust your vendors
When my husband and I were looking at where we wanted to get married at, we knew it would be somewhere tucked away from the fast paced suburban area we were from. Upon on search we came across The Star Barn in Elizabethtown, PA. A place that was spectacular but somewhat far away from where we were from. Making this a "destination wedding" for majority of our guests. It was about 2 hours from our home in Maryland which meant that some of the vendors I wanted to use after being in the industry myself; I couldn't use simply because of distance...
After much consideration and back and fourth, we decided to book with The Star Barn. One of the preferred caterers on the list was Food For Thought. I worked part time for a 5 star restaurant so any bland wedding food simply wasn't going to cut it for me... Gina, Mary, and the rest of their staff put together a BEAUTIFUL tasting at the Moon Stone Manor in E-town... The food was great and we decided to book with FFT catering. That was until a restaurant in my area begged to cater to our wedding with the promise they could handle the distance and put on an amazing wedding for us. Unfortunately about 3 months before the wedding after everything was figured out, that cater backed out of our wedding... As wedding stress started to pile up and trust was lost, we had about 100 people already RSVP'd with no food... In pure humility and desperation I reached out to Gina & Mary with Food For Thought and begged them to help us out and cater our wedding... It was around an incredibly busy time for them with Spring weddings and large scaled events piling up, but Gina emailed me back and said "we will make it work for you". With tears streaming down my face I couldn't have felt more blessed. I knew from the start that Gina & Mary carried themselves with a level of professionalism, and love for their catering company, that not a lot of people do... Sometimes catering weddings just becomes a blur and its just a job... But not to Gina & Mary...
With our wedding just around the corner, Gina took the menu with the old cater and put her own special spin on the dishes and I TRUSTED her to do so... Come down to the day of the wedding, the food was THE BEST food I have ever had at a wedding... It is so important when you have guests attending your wedding, especially if they are travelling that the food is good food and not your typical wedding food... I don't think Food For Thought knows how to cook "typical wedding food"... Everything from the kale caesar salad, to the freshly baked bread her cousin made for us, to the steak with a brown butter glaze, Mediterranean chicken, fresh veggies, smashed potatoes and a truffle mac & cheese was out of this world. After the wedding I told Gina I would be making a stop up to Moon Stone Manor whenever I started craving our wedding food. ;) They even went as far to pack my husband and I a nice plater of food to munch on later in the night... We signed the waiver to take all of the left over food home and never got sick of eating the same thing for a week straight because of how delish it was! The response from every single guest I talked to the day of and after the wedding was and I quote "the best food at a wedding I have ever had"... "the staff was so friendly and receptive to anything we needed"... "the drinks kept flowing and were mixed perfectly"...
There is no doubt in my mind that Gina, Mary and the Food For Thought team can pull of absolutely anything. They put so much love, effort and THOUGHT into what they do and take nothing less than 10 star reviews... When looking for someone to cater your event or your wedding, trust Food For Thought. They were a huge part in making our wedding day the absolute best day of our lives even in an emergency situation when we had no one. Gina & Mary will always have a special place in the heart of my husband and I, as well as our families who absolutely adore them as well.
To Gina, Mary and team: Thank you so much for making our day the best. For putting your all into what you do, and for helping us celebrate. Thank you for taking care of our guests, for making sure all of their needs were met and that everyone was happy. Thank you again for all you do. I know it cannot be easy whatsoever but you make it look so effortless. You allow your customers to relax while you take the driver seat and ensure everything will be okay.
Thank you,
Hope & Matt Dansco -

I promise you will not regret booking Food for Thought catering! The food was just as incredible on our wedding day as it was at our intimate tasting. Our guests are still raving about our food. Gina was so accommodating and made our food visions come to reality. She would recommend options based on the season and what would pair well. 11/10 experience! -

Alena Married on 09/13/2020Amazing food
Oh gosh where do I begin? My now husband and I are pretty big foodies so we thought finding a caterer would be tricky. We literally got so lucky when it came to Food for Thought. EVERYTHING they provided was mouth watering and so so good. On the day of, we chose to do a brunch with them and I am so glad we did. Gina's recommendations were perfect to hold everyone over through the chaos of getting ready.
My guests have been raving about the cocktail hour and dinner. Everything was amazing. The team even came to us during our photos and brought some food to make sure we were able to have some of it during cocktail hour.
Dinner is making me hungry just thinking about it again. We were a little delayed getting to the reception because of pictures and the team was super accommodating. Mary came out to ask how much extra time we needed and they were able to prepare accordingly, no questions asked. We had steak and chicken for protein and it was so juicy and tender, I was amazed. Everything was cooked to perfection and I couldn't have been happier. The staff was finding me throughout the night to make sure we were eating, as well. As a busy bride and groom, this is so important. They truly care for you and make sure you are enjoying your night and the beautiful food they prepare. I am so glad we went with Food for Thought! -

Pam M. Married on 06/29/2020Memorable Moonstone Meal
After our initial meeting with Gina and Mary, there was absolutely no doubt in our minds about where we wanted to have our daughter’s wedding at Moonstone and have Food for Thought be our caterer. Gina immediately had a vision of that fit our expectations. We wanted a healthy, fresh, meal that people would long remember, When we had our “tasting” to determine our appetizers and entrees we were overwhelmed. We loved everything! Gina quickly came up with suggestions on how to include all our favorites. Every appetizer was scrumptious, and continued to be served until our guests stopped eating them. Then guests dined on a gourmet meal that was picture perfect. My daughter was concerned about having a buffet, but was overwhelmed by the delicious entrees and the beautiful presentation of each dish. Friends and family when commenting above the wedding have all commented on how wonderful the food was. have no reservations about recommending Food for Thought Catering as a premiere caterer. We feel truly blessed to have had Gina’s expertise in the the planning and preparing our most memorable wedding meal. Pam ( MOB)-

Rachael R. Married on 05/05/2020The Most Magical Day
BRIDES…If you’re looking for a caterer, stop here…I promise you found the best one. I am still thinking about how incredible the food was at our wedding about a month ago and I’m not the only one. Our guests are still raving about the food and also the service!
There was no point during our wedding where anyone could have possibly been hungry. One of my favorite moments of the night was being out on the dance floor and being offered butlered desserts!
Also, the owner Gina is the most incredible, caring and sweetest person you’ll ever meet. She worked so hard to customize our menu for us and if you haven’t found your venue yet…check out Moonstone Manor! -
