    Incredible

    Rettews was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our winter wedding. We wanted a cozy, home-cooked meal vibe and oh my gosh they delivered! They worked with us to customize some special stations like a soup and grilled cheese bar, a hot cocoa bar, and a smores station! Everything was amazing, we even had some guests tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever had! I so wish I could go back in time and eat more of everything (advice to future brides out there...make sure you give yourself time to eat!). I can't recommend Rettews enough, absolutely 10/10.

    Top notch service & food

    Rettew's Catering did a phenomenal job for my daughter's wedding. From start to finish, they were so easy to work with and offered a lot of different options. You would NEVER know that the venue did not have a kitchen on site. The food was hot and delicious. I had several guests go out of the way to compliment the food. On top of that, the service was top notch. They were on top of every detail every step of the way. Highly recommend!

    Rettew's is the best!

    Choosing Rettew's for our wedding was the best decision. From the start, communication was excellent. When we had our tasting, everything was so good! We had full confidence they would have high quality, flavorful food, and they definitely delivered. Their food options are extensive and they are priced fairly. Our guests are still raving about how good the food was! They were extremely helpful, especially when it came to my millions of questions and changes, and they took care of everything - even gave us extra meals at the end of the night and packed our cake up perfectly for us to freeze and save. We highly recommend choosing Rettew's for all your catering needs. They are amazing at what they do and it shows!

    Delicious food all night!

    We used Rettews for our wedding this past weekend and couldn’t have been happier with them. From the cocktail hour food stations to the entrees to dessert and late night bites, everything was delicious and our guests were raving . Amanda was such a delight to work with as well. She was responsive, flexible and made our dream come alive . Highly recommend !

    100/10 - I can't recommend Rettews enough!

    We knew for sure after our tasting that Rettews would be perfect for our wedding. The food was not only delicious but the staff was so professional and responsive. I also knew then that we wouldn't have to worry about the details and you and the team would make everything perfect. Both Amanda and Katelyn were a dream to work with and knew I didn't have to worry about anything the day of because of them. The whole team on the wedding day was exceptional and so friendly to our guests.

    Thank you again for helping us create the best day!

    Wonderful Wedding Caterer!

    We are so happy to have had Rettew’s Catering on our wedding team and to have had the pleasure of working with Amanda. Planning an out-of-state wedding can be a little daunting and we relied a lot on being able to communicate effectively with our vendors. From the beginning, Amanda was very responsive and she patiently answered all of our questions, and addressed any concerns we had, ensuring that we felt confident and at ease throughout the planning process. The tasting appointment was a highlight of our wedding preparations! We appreciated the variety in your menu options, and it was difficult for us to pick our favorites! Our guests really enjoyed their entree options, complimented our dessert varieties, and the hors d’oeuvres were my personal favorites. Overall, we had a wonderful experience with Rettew’s Catering. Thank you so much again for being a part of our day and helping us to put together a menu that was enjoyed by all!

    Personalization from Start to Finish

    Rettew was absolutely incredible in guiding us through the entire process and ensuring every last detail was perfect. We wanted our wedding to be representative of us as a couple, all the way down to our favorite foods. The variety of food options and the ability to customize our menu (like including chicken parm as an entrée) was really important for us. We picked food that was very specific to us, like our favorite foods (chicken parm and penne vodka), a crab app as I'm from Maryland, and the flat bread pizzas as we make homemade pizza regularly. We were also blown away by the food tasting - especially on the steak. We couldn't believe how good it was!

    In going through the process, we did make a bunch of changes the menu and had lots of questions when it came to preparing for the signature drink and deciding on alcohol and Amanda was always incredibly helpful and very quick to respond!

    On the day of our wedding, we did not attend our cocktail hour due to photos, so we LOVED that a sampler board of the apps were waiting for us at the table. Also, one of our signature drinks was a Lavender Moscow Mule, to which Rettew took to the next level. It was such a nice touch, that I have not seen used at wedding previously!

    The day after our wedding we ran into Rita from Rettew the day after the wedding in Lititz and she stopped us and shared some incredibly kind words about our wedding. We couldn't believe that she recognized us or remembered such specific details of the day, including the way our tables had polaroid photos of us instead of traditional table numbers. I cannot even express how incredible it was to hear her share such kind words!

    We would 100% suggest choosing Rettew for your wedding day (or any catered event)!

    10/10 Would Recommend

    From the start, we felt like we were the only couple Rettew's was catering for. Very communicative, honest, helpful, etc. Our tasting was just the two of us - and I'd try to describe how wonderful it was, but I fear I'd hit the character limit. Everything tasted great, was presented as if it was our wedding day, and no tweak or wish of ours was too much for Rettew's to graciously accept. As our wedding day got closer, our coordinator was wonderful handling various tweaks, add ons, drop offs. We never felt like a burden to the team; they made us feel like everything was in control. Day of, you won't be disappointed with the staff. I think every single server went out of there way to congratulate us and ask if there was anything the could get us (an extra app, a drink refill, etc.)... and best of all, you could tell they were 1000% genuine. Didn't seem like they were checking a box, but truly wishing us the best. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

    Amazing Food!

    I haven't heard one bad thing about the food provided by Rettew's! Everyone loved both our steak and chicken options and I heard multiple times that it was the best food they have had at a wedding. Rettew's also did my cake and sugar cookies and they turned out amazing and yummy too! My wedding was 200+ and Rettew's rose to the occasion!

    Delicious food!

    Rettew's catered our wedding on 9/25/21 and everything turned out exactly as we envisioned. We received so many compliments on how good our food was. Guests raved about our appetizers (bacon-wrapped scallops, crab cakes, chicken and waffles, mac and cheese cups, and meatball parm slider). Guests also loved our entrees and constantly mentioned how tender the short ribs were and how perfectly the chicken and salmon were cooked. Our cake came out beautifully and even better than we imagined (and tasted just as great)! Guests really enjoyed our mini desserts as well (cheesecake, macaroons, mousse cups, raspberry shortcake parfait, and fruit tarts). Katelyn from Rettew's was on-site during our wedding and was extremely helpful and there for us the entire night. The waiter's and bartender's service was fantastic for both the cocktail hour and reception. We worked primarily with Michelle for the process leading up to the wedding. Michelle was a pleasure to work with and was extremely accommodating and always quick to respond to questions that we had. They also had a great selection of tablecloths and decor that fit our vision perfectly. Overall, the food and service Rettew's provided was second to none and was truly enjoyed by all of our guests.

    Effortless with quality food and service

    Rettew's catered our wedding on 9/25/21 and I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. Throughout the entire process, Michelle G. worked very closely with us to make sure we had the perfect day. She answered endless questions and had multiple calls to ensure our every need was met. When our big day came, her husband Michael G. greeted us and reviewed all the details to make sure everything in line.

    Mike made sure to bring us multiple plates of cheesesteak egg rolls and shrimp cocktail while we completed our photos around the property. When dinner came, all our guests were quickly served and taken care of. The food was just as amazing as it was during the tasting! I had multiple guests tell me the short rib was the best they've ever had...and we even received compliments on the juicy grilled chicken and penne a la vodka. But the main win overall was the parmesan smashed potatoes, everyone loved them! Lastly, all my mom's friend kept asking for the recipe for the citrus punch, so give it a shot if you're into that sort of thing.

    I hope to have an event big enough to enlist Rettew's services again!

    The. Best. Caterer. Around. (look no further)

    Rettew's Catering is the one and only place you need to look for your wedding catering needs! Everything tasted exactly like the tasting from a year ago. I have heard horror stories about how tastings do not always match the day of the wedding entrees. Many said it was the best dinner and hors d'oeuvres they had ever had. Never cut corners on the food. Cut elsewhere, but not on that! We felt the price we paid was reasonable and the value was excellent. I loved how Michelle worked within our budget. And it is clear that Jennifer (owner) has a passion to provide the best quality of food and flavor .Hats off to Rettew's for an amazing meal AND service (I almost forgot that!) You helped make our daughter's wedding extraordinary!

    Best cater, food and customer experience!

    Hiring Rettew’s to be our wedding caterer was one of the best vendor decisions that I made during my wedding planning process. From start to finish the customer service, communication, quality of food and overall execution was five stars. Michelle Gruber was so easy to work with and was very understanding when I postponed my wedding a full year due to the pandemic. I then changed my venue, and Michelle worked directly with me and my new venue to get onboarded without a hitch. And then on wedding day, the food was DELICIOUS. My motto is that if you don’t remember the food at someone’s wedding then that’s a good sign. Not the case with Rettew’s! I had multiple guests on the day of and afterwards remark on how delicious their meals were. Apps were also so yummy and their presentation is top notch. With so many important decisions that go into the wedding planning process, I am so thankful for the entire Rettew’s team for their professionalism, quality of product and overall demeanor. The best! Thank you :)

    Phenomenal food and service!

    Rettew’s food at our wedding was absolutely INCREDIBLE! From cocktail hour through dessert, our guests enjoyed every bite. We had the ability to fully customize our menu into something that suited our needs and gave everyone a unique experience. Michelle was amazing to work with from start to finish for our many requests and helping to keep our guests safe. The service and overall experience could not have been better. Thank you for making our day a huge success!

    Professional team & delicious food!

    My husband and I are so happy with our decision to book Rettew's for our wedding. The team is professional, organized, super accommodating, and not too much, wonderful chefs!
    We received endless compliments on our food, especially our delicious desserts.

    Rettew's made our wedding seamless and were so incredibly attentive during the wedding to make sure my husband and I always had a drink, food, or if we needed anything. We felt so relaxed knowing we had such a professional team running the show!

    Worth Every Penny!

    If your budget allows, do not hesitate to book Rettew's! The food, from cocktail hour, to dinner, to dessert is absolutely out of this world and our guests could not stop raving about it. Everything was incredible, and we heard very positive reviews about each menu option (beef, chicken, vegetarian) during the dinner and all of our hor d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, including the tomato soup and grilled cheese crouton that added some whimsy to our fall menu. We also had Rettew's provide our cake and a dessert display that our guests were very excited about. The service during cocktail hour and the reception was fantastic, the bartenders were on top of everything and never left anyone waiting, and set-up/clean-up was handled quickly. We are so happy we chose Rettew's, and you will be too!

    Simply the Best

    From our first contact, Michelle "heard" what we wanted for our celebration. Stations, no assigned seating, some round tables, some high tops. No place settings. We wanted our celebration to match the couple: an American woman and a Spanish man. We wnated both cultures represented and food to accommodate everyone (including vegan). The team did a spectacular job! It could not have been better! It is hard to write a review of perfection!! Servers were professional, bartenders AWESOME, and Michelle there every step of the way...I could never had anticipated such perfection! Simply the best!

    The entire Rettew’s team was incredible to work with. Michelle answered a million questions, and was very patient with us through our many menu iterations. The staff onsite for the event were wonderful, and the food was all incredible. If only wedding doggy bags were a thing lol. Thank you all!

    Delicious!

    Rettews was the absolute best choice for a wedding caterer we could have made! My husband is a chef so food was very important to us. I emailed Rettews and Michelle was AMAZING. Within days she had sent me a sample menu and the amount of food you get for the price is unreal! Our guests raved about the food all night long and I'm still getting compliments on it. Absolutely delicious.

    Michelle G was the sweetest and responded to my millions of emails with professionalism and respect. She was so kind and informative. Always wanted to help and accommodate. PICK RETTEWS!!
