One of a kind caterer!
It was such a pleasure to work with Gina and Mary through the whole process. They are so friendly and pleasant. The food was AMAZING! Even better than our tasting, which was already delightful! The fresh herbs from their garden took each dish to the next level. FFTC is a preferred caterer for our venue (The Star Barn), which helped make selecting them an easy decision for us. We also really enjoyed knowing that they are a smaller catering business, and the owner is present at your event making sure everything goes smoothly and tastes wonderful – which was such a special touch. We also had FFTC cater our rehearsal dinner the night before, and our brunch the morning after – everything was delicious. Guests raved about all of the food! We also were glad we chose a buffet based on their recommendation – we were able to have a huge selection of options to please all different appetites!

The BEST Catering Team!!!
We don't have enough words for how much we enjoyed working with Gina and Mary! They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding planning and wedding day spectacular! They are so incredibly easy to work with and at the end, almost feel like family! Not to mention the food is OUTSTANDING! They catered our rehearsal dinner the night before as well and the whole weekend we received so many raving reviews about the quality and multitude of options we had! I could not have imagined working with a different caterer and I PROMISE you, they are worth it and then some!! I'm still getting comments about how good the food was - weeks later!

I'll Never Have a Party Without Food for Thought
Gina helped me tremendously with her guidance and great attention to detail. The entire staff was easy to work with. We received tons of compliments for all their delicious dishes (❤️ salmon) from hors d'oeuvres to desserts, presentation and service. Our event ran smoothly , everything executed perfectly. Answered all my questions and helped me with many items I didn't even think of. They catered to all my needs and our event ran smoothly. We were able to enjoy ourselves at our party since Food for Thought handled every detail with ease, professionalism and a smile. I will work with them for any celebration. They helped with all the planning, butler service and bar tending. We were all comfortable and confident that everything would run smoothly with their help and leadership. It turned out better than we'd hoped for. Thank you, Gina, Mary and the rest of the crew.

Best Wedding Move Ever!
If you have a wedding, you need Food for Thought! Lauren and I are SOOO excited! Sampling Food for Thought/Gina's food prior to our wedding day was amazing and makes me hungry thinking of it. Lauren and I's wedding day of 170 guests which encompassed Stone Gables Estate/Star Barn was a dream of laughs and special moments thanks to Food for Thought Catering who expertly catered for us.
All food provided was of the highest quality and diversity. The service staff was super professional, polite, and agile ensuring every guest needs where met. The communication by Gina and Mary with Food for Thought was exceptional!
Lauren and I thoroughly researched caterers for our Wedding 3/25/2023 at Star Barn Stone Gables Estate. All our research always came back to Gina and Food for Thought! When working with them they treat you and your vendors as part of the family. For example, Lauren and I needed to get to the lower level of Star Barn to find Lauren's grandparents and Gina was right on it. Another example was when Lauren was served during cocktail hour the servers made special efforts to make Lauren laugh and smile.
Lauren and I got a ton of compliments during, and after the wedding about how amazing the wedding and food was from our guests. Everyone agrees Lauren and I's wedding had the best cocktail hour ever with those butlered hors d’oeuvres. Picking Food for Thought as your Caterer is a sure win!
+Butlered hors d’oeuvres: Bruschetta was Lauren's favorite and was super yummy. The Creamy spinach-artichoke-Parmesan au gratin in mini phyllo cups was excellent. The Chipotle BBQ all beef mini meatballs were perfect and added great diversity. The mini tartlets of goat cheese and fig were elegant. The smoked and roasted sausage made my Hungarian side of the family really happy. The maki sushi rolls where my personal favorite and I never imagined getting sushi on my wedding day! (sweet potato, salmon and cucumber, ahi tuna, and California rolls)
+Entrées: Basil parmesan encrusted chicken breasts where super moist and the crust was crunchy. The grilled flat iron steak was very juicy!
+Dessert: Fudge brownies was everyone's favorite. The Lemon and Salted caramel pecan bars where perfect. It still amazes me how moist your Vanilla sheet cake with vanilla butter cream icing was!
+Late night snack: Want to thank you so much for warming and serving our Philadelphia Pretzel Company Pretzels
+P.S. We loved snacks and tray of brownies you prepared for us the day after the wedding for our long drive home!

Amazing food and even more amazing staff!
I don't even know where to begin. We hired Food for Thought for catering for our 10.22.2022 wedding and that the best decision we could have make. Their food is to die for and it was so hard for us to narrow down what we wanted during our tasting! I made sure to have a little bit of everything the day of our wedding because I remembered how good the tasting was. But its not just about the food and Food for Thought is way more than just a caterer. Gina and Mary are SO accommodating! They took into account our guest dietary restrictions and even were able to make a special plate for the few vegans we had at our wedding. They helped set up our Pittsburgh cookie table and were even kind enough to help us return the napkins we rented locally. Neither of these things are things they had to do but went above and beyond to help us. We cannot say enough good things about Food for Thought!I don't even know where to begin.

Delicious!
Food was super important for our wedding, so Food for Thought was the easy choice. Everything was DELICIOUS! Gina and Mary gave us a wonderful, private tasting which really helped us pick some delicious hors d'oeuvres and entrees for our wedding. Also, the passed desserts were bite sized and kept the party going all night long. Every detail was executed perfectly, and the staff was so nice, professional and friendly.

The best food
Food for Thought was the best! They had the best food and everyone at our wedding is still raving about the food! Food for Thought was very communicative and very responsive every time I had a question. They had so many options for us to choose from. They were able to accommodate any food allergies we had and made sure everyone had something to eat.Food for Thought was the best!

Best Caterer Ever!!!
I cannot stress enough how incredible of a job Food For Thought Catering did at our wedding! First off, tons of our guests are still saying how delicious the food was and what a variety we had. Food For Thought helped us plan our dream menu and made sure it was exactly what we wanted. Secondly, Gina, the owner, is the sweetest woman in the world and truly cares about you as a person. Between the clear communication, delicious hor'derves brought to us during pictures, compliments from our guests, and the actual dinner my husband and I devoured..... I just cannot imagine my wedding day without Food For Thought as our caterer. I know for a fact that my day wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without them. Don't look any further for another caterer or you will regret it! Food For Thought Catering is simply the best there is and truly the ideal caterer you want to have on your wedding day.I cannot stress enough how incredible of a job Food For Thought Catering did at our wedding!

The BEST Caterer!!!!!
I don’t even know where to begin, but Food for Thought is THE caterer you NEED for your wedding! Everything was more than perfect! Gina and Mary were so extremely helpful during the whole planning process with food selection and all our bar needs. I mean it when I say the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS! All our guests were obsessed with the food and even went back for seconds; my cousins went back for a plate full of steak to share lol. We had one guest that was gluten free and she was surprised and grateful at how many gluten free options there were, they made working around allergies and dietary needs a breeze!

A MUST HAVE for your wedding!
At this point, you're probably reading reviews for Food for Thought and thinking "there's no way that this company can have all five star reviews" and to tell you the truth, my wife and I thought the same thing. When we were planning our wedding and looking at venues, two things were important to us - to be able to pick our own caterer and to bring our own alcohol. After finding the venue that was perfect for us, we got to work on picking a vendor and Food for Thought was right there in front of us! Truth be told, in looking around for caterers, they're all pretty comparable in price, which was a little shocking to me. The difference is not only in the quality of food and service, but in the quality of the people themselves. Gina and Mary were astonishingly upbeat every step of the way as we worked with them to plan our day, and the first time we were able to meet in person to do the taste testing cemented in us just how right we were in picking them. We've all been to weddings where the food was memorable or forgetful, and usually memorable for the wrong reasons, which we didn't want for our wedding. Boy, we weren't disappointed. All the food was fresh and delicious, including the appetizers. The cocktail hour when the servers were walking around serving the perfectly presented treats for all of our guests was a huge hit, and we heard a few people actually overindulged and got a little full before dinner because they were so good. Fast forward to the dinner, where the servers made sure we got a plate full of everything, INCLUDING the appetizers that we missed while we were getting our pictures taken, and after a long day, it was time to chow down. We knew with each bite that we had found a winner, and our guests would be so happy. Completely unsolicited, we both heard from dozens of people who, aside from telling us how beautiful our wedding was, absolutely raved about the food. There were people going up for seconds and thirds, and one friend even told us while going up for his third plate, saw one of our nieces who is 8 years old walking away with a plate of carrots. He thought to himself, I'm not a carrot fan, but if this little girl likes them and everything else has been so good, I might as well try them. He told us his fourth plate was all carrots! So, in short, everything positive you're reading about Food for Thought is completely spot on. Every. Single. One. of their employees carries themselves like they love their job, and I promise there will be nothing bad said about your event if you take ten minutes and reach out to Food for Thought to cater your wedding. Come to think of it, ask them to cater absolutely anything, I'm 100% they'll knock your socks off.At this point, you're probably reading reviews for Food for Thought and thinking "there's no way that this company can have all five star reviews" and to tell you the truth, my wife and I thought the same thing.

Best Caterer in Central PA!
I don't even know where to start..... Gina and Mary are two incredible humans who are extremely passionate about working with couples and accommodating all their requests. They make delicious food that will have your guests raving for days!! We served braised short ribs and a herb encrusted chicken and our guests couldn't stop talking about the portion sizes and flavors of these dishes. The Food For Thought team is just exquisite. From cocktail hour to dessert, the team is buttering food around the venue so that your guests can just enjoy themselves and be served from wherever they may be! They allowed us to bring in our own wedding cake, but also baked us a marble cake and three other desserts so we could keep our guests happy with plenty dessert options. I would hire Gina and Mary again in a heart beat!!! They are extremely pleasant to work with and truly just want to make your dreams come true on your wedding day!!I don't even know where to start.....

Simply the Best Catering Company
Gina and the team at Food for Thought (FFT) Catering made our entire wedding day unforgettable. For months leading up to the wedding, we worked with Gina and Mary on crafting the perfect selection of Hors d'oeuvres, entrees and sides for our wedding of 175 guests. The delicious, 5-star quality food is really just the beginning of the value that booking FFT brings to the table. Gina and Mary treated us like family throughout the entire planning process, FFT's expertise and experience guided us towards decisions and actions that further brought our wedding vision to life, and the level of professionalism, hospitality, and attention to detail the entire staff provided the day of our wedding made us feel like we had an entire team that knew us personally, and were fully committed to making the night a special one for us. We received more compliments on the food, bartending, and catering staff from our guests than i can count, making my wife and i feel so lucky we had them as our caterer. I cannot stress enough that in my opinion, booking FFT will guarantee you a delicious, bountiful spread for your guests as well as a stress free planning experience. After all, you will be working with the best there is - they will not leave a stone unturned in their goal of making your night special for you and your partner!! FFT has earned our business for life, and our families are already trying to figure out what event we can plan next to get another chance to work with this wonderful team :) Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Gina, Mary, and the entire FFT team.Gina and the team at Food for Thought (FFT) Catering made our entire wedding day unforgettable.

Wonderful team!
I highly recommend Gina and her team! From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. From the food itself to customer service, everything she does is a step above the competition. You will not regret booking her!I highly recommend Gina and her team! From start to finish it was a wonderful experience.

Delicious heavy appetizers for early dinner party!
Can't say enough about this experience! Gina was very responsive to my needs (early "dinner" party before my sons graduation, and took the time to ask questions and provide menu suggestions. Everything we ordered from the amazing salmon, to the beef and horse radish sauce , risotto , bruschetta, Asian meatballs ... so delicious! What a treat. And all delivered to us ready to go, with very little work on my part. We will definitely use Food for Thought Catering in the future. Thank you so much!Can't say enough about this experience!

Phenomenal experience!!
From the moment we went to visit Moonstone
Manor, we knew instantly that this was where
we wanted to get married. It is absolutely
magical!! Gina, Mary and their staff could not
have been any more accommodating!! All of our
quests were literally "over the moon' at how
beautiful and nice everything was. We had
constant compliments the entire day! Gina and
Mary were incredible throughout our entire
planning process! They were quick to answer
questions, welcomed visits, and offered lots of
sound advice on many occasions!! We can not
say enough wonderful things about them and
their staff! Needless to say, we were thrilled with
our entire experience!From the moment we went to visit Moonstone

Absolutely amazing quality and service
We loved working with Food for thought, before and of course during our wedding. They made the process so easy and their wait staff was so polite and discreet. And the food was INCREDIBLE. (My husband loved that he always had a full drink thanks to our bartenders) I have recommended this catering company to anyone and everyone we know.
We had left overs for days and it was still so good after being reheated at home!We loved working with Food for thought, before and of course during our wedding.
