    Amazing quality

    Sir D's Catering was one of the best decisions we made when it came to wedding planning. The food was phenomenal including main courses and appetizers, and the service was fantastic. I would 100% recommend them to any couple who is looking for fantastic quality in food and service.

    Sir D's was hands down the best choice we made in the wedding planning process. We worked with Brittney and the communication was excellent! She worked around our schedules to plan meetings and tastings, and answered my countless emails promptly. Leading up to the day of, she put us at ease and had all of the answers to every single question we had! On the day of, we showed up, and everything was even better than we could have imagined. The food was INCREDIBLE and the guests won't stop talking about it! Everyone went up for seconds. We chose the Beef Bourguignon and Mediterranean Chicken as our main entrees from the long list of options they had. The bartender, Andy, was awesome and kept all of the guests happy, and made the two of us feel like celebrities when we would go to the bar, as he already knew what we wanted! The staff day of also juggled everything else while personally catering to us - bringing us appetizers and serving our meals to us even though we had chosen a buffet! At the end of the night, as guests trickled out and headed off to bars, the staff quickly cleaned up and helped my parents consolidate all of our centerpieces, wrapping up the wedding seamlessly.

    We could not have chosen a better caterer!

    Sir D's Catering was FANTASTIC when they catered my wedding in December. My husband and I live in Alabama but planned our wedding back in PA (where home is for both of us). Calla and Britteny made planning from 16 hours away easy. I was absolutely thrilled with their ideas, cooperation, timeliness and professionalism. My family ended up doing the tasting for us and had nothing but good things to say and everyone raved about the food at the wedding. Britteny was great even when I was making last minute changes the day before, I could not have asked for a better team to work with.

    Absolutely the best caterer! We were looking for something a little different for our outdoor wedding and chose Sir D's because they offered a clambake, which we love seafood! It was delicious! We also had passed hor d'oeuvres and two stations. Their potato latkas are awesome! The staff was always professional and super responsive, they even helped with items that were outside the catering. It was incredibly hot out the day we got married, but if Sir D's staff was bothered by the heat it never showed. Everyone was great to work with and the food was incredible, our guests just raved about the food. We're so glad we chose Sir D's and highly recommend them!

    Over all we had a very great experience with Sir D's! They were always very responsive, and flexible about meetings. The food was delicious! It was also a great value compared to other caterers we had looked into. I would definitely use them again for an event.

    We had Sir D's cater both our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. They were absolutely wonderful to work with, very reasonably priced, and professional. The food was fantastic for both events! We had so many people tell us after the wedding that the food was delicious and by far the best "wedding food" they had ever had. We highly recommend Sir D's.

    I used Sir D's for my catering and they also did my centerpieces. They were very flexible with my request to do food stations. Everyone loved it and people are still making comments to me about how good everything was. I had pretty specific ideas for my centerpieces and Meghan made them even more beautiful than I had hoped for. Awesome value to have Sir D's handle food and centerpeices! Thanks Don, Carla, and Meghan!

    Sir D's is an amazing group of people to work with! They were willing to work with our wants and needs, were flexible with our menu and time schedule, and provided AMAZING food for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding! Our wedding happened after the flooding and they were MORE than kind and helpful throughout, they were looking into firehall kitchens or churches to rent in the case that they were shutdown due to the weather! On top of all this, their prices were much lower than other quotes we received! I would recommend Sir D's to everyone and anyone - they are A++++!

    Sir D's Catering did an AMAZING job! They were so easy to work with and always professional. They coordinated the linen rentals and worked with our venue to make sure the day went perfectly! Our guests raved about the food and the cocktail hour even weeks later. If you are looking for a quality outside caterer, please consider Sir D's, we are so glad we did!

    Sir D's Catering was a great vendor to work with. Don and his team did a fantastic job! They don't try to sell you something you don't want. Not pushy, and they really do work with you to make sure you and all your guests are satisfied. And, the food is GREAT!!!!!

    THANK YOU!!! We are so grateful that we chose Sir D's Catering for our wedding - you all were so awesome. From being patient with me as I changed my mind almost daily, to putting together the wedding of my dreams, to making sure everything ran smoothly, all while keeping a sense of humor. I couldn't have asked for a more professional, fun-loving staff. I thank you all with all my heart and appreciate the wonderful memories you've given me.

    Everything was very good. I never hired a caterer for an event like this (1st Wedding Anniversary party).
    I was pleased with everything. The event was held outside, picnic style, so the only thing I would ask is for
    them to include ice underneath the cole slaw and potato salad dishes. It wasn't a real hot day, but if it were,
    I would be concerned about spoilage. I am happy to give Sir D's 4.9 stars out of 5.

    Sir D's Catering provided amazing service, absolutely delicious food, and treated my now husband and I like we were royalty. The wedding world really takes people for their money, however Sir D's gives you high end quality service at a great value. We got so many compliments on the quality of the hors d'oeuvres to the buffet dinner, I couldn't t have been more happy! Besides the couple, the guests are going to remember the food and fun they had... Sir D's made our wedding an unforgettable experience for us and all our guests.

    “We Do BBQ package”

    We chose the “we do BBQ” package. The planning process was great and Katelyn was very responsive to my e-mails and helped me through every situation. On my wedding day, everything went as planned. The food was slightly above average - typical wedding food. Great value for the area as far as price per plate and great planning help by Katelyn at Sir D’s. I was told by guests that we ran out of appetizers very quickly so that would be my only complaint.

    Great communication for a family owned buissness

    Sir D's was one of our venues preferred caterers. We were having a big wedding (175) and wanted an affordable option, that was still a served meal with a classy vibe. We did a tasting with one other caterer, and chose Sir Ds because of their yummy food and their great coordinator, Brittney. We went with the chicken chessepeake (seasoned chicken breast and crab cake) and braised beef along wiht a vegetarian and kids meal. All of our guests raved about the entrees, however, I felt that the broccoli and potatoes were both underdone as sides.

    Brittney was great to work with! From coordinating our tasting to the day of the wedding, she took care of everything. The bartenders and catering staff were all wonderful and made sure we, as the bride and groom, were taken care of.

    Overall, I felt the food was pretty good, served very well and quickly, and loved the customer service at Sir Ds.

    Sir D's Catering is a very good and reliable crew for any bride to work with. You cannot beat the quality and prices that Sir D Cartering offers and as a bride, you can feel confident that Don and his staff will WOW your guests.

    The only reason why I did not give Sir D's Catering 5/5 is because of our experience with Rebecca, a coordinator who no longer works there. Alexia (Rebecca's replacement) and Don are both great and easy to work with!!

    I decided that I wanted a "his" and "her" buffet at my wedding. My wedding was the first time that Don had ever attempted this idea, but from the point of view of the bride, it was executed perfectly by his staff.

    Don went through every detail with me to ensure that him and I were on the same page and to make sure that there would not be any problems with our his and her buffet.

    It was important to me that on my Husband's side, the caterer use his families Italian recipes... I was so relieved whenever Don agreed to do so. In fact, at the tasting, my now husband was like, "there is no way he will be able to execute my fathers clam linguini properly so he better be prepared to take some criticism".... and my husband was like, oh my, this tastes exactly like my fathers!

    At and after the wedding, our guests were raving about the food especially the, egg plant rollatini, Mac & Cheese, and corn off the cob. This was all in part due to Don's amazing skills.

    I hired Sir D's for my daughters vintage barn wedding because ( unlike the others) the owner Don LISTENED to me.. he saw our vision for the day and did not disappoint!!
    The Sir D's crew ROCKED it!!! I did not have to worry about a thing the whole day .. they had it covered.
    The food was outstanding, service was top notch and the bar tenders were perfect for our crowd.
    We received many compliments on the food and the presentation was beautiful

    I mostly had a great experience working with Sir D's. They were very available on the phone (I was planning from a distance) and always got back to me right away. Their staff was professional and helpful on our wedding day and the food was good.

    They don't get 5 stars because they caused some stress the morning of my wedding. They did set-up the night before when originally they had said they would be there the morning of by 8am and I was counting on them to be there to let me into our venue since there was no onsite venue coordinator at our venue (Overlook Mansion in Harrisburg). It was a Sunday and Sir D's office was closed and I only had the office number, so there was no way to get hold of anyone and I waited outside for 40 minutes until I got hold of our venue contact who opened up for us. I think that was mainly a lack of communication due to our venue, but since they've worked with the venue before I was displeased with that.

    But overall, their service the day of the wedding was good and we were pleased with everyone we interacted with.

    Sir D's Catering's reply:

    Annie & Christian,
    it was so wonderful to work with you two! thank you for the review, and we apologize for the confusion on the morning of your wedding. we would NEVER want any bride to be stressed. it was a lack of communication on my end, and with the venue. (like I said before, that venue is a bit tricky with coordination) But with all that aside, I am glad you enjoyed your day. Thanks again, for letting us be a part of your big day! :)

    Sir D's did an amazing job catering our wedding! The food was absolutely delicious and I received many compliments on it. Sir D's worked with us to plan the perfect menu for our guests. I worked with Rebecca Gerard, who was very flexible and accommodating as far as meeting with us and making sure we had everything we needed. She was quick to respond to my many emails and was very organized and helpful in making decisions about the logistics of the reception. Sir D's is well prepared for doing weddings as they have many years of experience. We did have a few day-of mishaps, as expected, but overall the day went perfectly.

    Good Buffet Dinner & Appetizers

    Overall, we had a good experience with Sir D’s. They did a sample tasting for us to help us choose what we wanted at our wedding. We appreciated having them come early to our venue to drop of the linens so we could start setting up tables. Our bartender was also great; he took good care of us, remembered our guests' drink orders, and was good about checking in with us when certain drinks were running low and when he left. They also provided us with guidance on what to buy for the bar. Even though we did a buffet dinner, they were nice enough to serve my husband and me, so we had a little extra time to eat. They were also good about working with special dietary needs and preparing separate meals as needed. However, we were a little disappointed that we didn't really have anyone to contact the morning of the event for last-minute questions. The manager in charge at the event didn't check in with us at any point during the event or before leaving (all of our other vendors did). We also didn’t realize that the leftover food couldn’t be placed in the fridge after being packaged (due to safety issues). That being said, we did reach out to Sir D’s and Brittney was really great about listening to our concerns, and we did enjoy the food, both the dinner and appetizers, and working with Sir D's.
