Luongo Barbecue 

5.0

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Dover, PA

Preparing and serving slow smoked, expertly prepared Texas barbecue and rustic Italian inspired dishes is the greatest joy in my life. There are no short cuts in barbecue and that's what I love about it. We started Luongo Barbecue to glorify the Lord and grow the Kingdom of God. We use the business as a means to feed and serve our community. After spending 30 years in Texas we have relocated to central Pennsylvania to begin working with family on the next chapter of Luongo Barbecue. Winners of "Best in Show" and "Best Entrée" at Taste of Western Lancaster County 2025 for our brisket, pulled pork and peach cobbler!

Awarded Best of Zola
Luongo BBQ was our caterer for our wedding. We had 185 people attending our wedding and we were having trouble finding a caterer that was affordable and that could provide food for that amount of people. I found Luongo BBQ and not only did they give us a great price, but their food is OUTSTANDING. All of our guests could not stop commenting about how great the food was. They offered both chicken and pork to our guests since we had some muslim guests attending, that way everyone could enjoy our day together. I would highly recommend Luongo BBQ for your wedding or your next party. They are extremely professional and will provide the best food for your guests!

We had the pleasure of working with Sri, Stephanie, and Josiah for our wedding catering. This is a phenomenal business that provides delicious, unique, and fairly priced catering. From the consultation, to the tasting, to drop off - the entire team was professional, thoughtful, communicative, and on time. We chose Upohar initially because it’s a small woman-owned business that provided cuisines from all over the world, and once we tried the food we were sold. If you’d like your wedding/party to have food that is memorable and will make your guests happy, Upohar should be a top consideration. Wedding food doesn’t have to be boring and basic. Most of the options we chose were gluten free, and they did a great job of labeling the food for our guests. We wish they had a restaurant so we could have their food more often. We can’t thank this team enough for helping to make our day stress-free and providing us with delicious food.

Hausfrau Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Dover, PA

Hausfrau is an upscale catering and events company putting the JOY back into hosting and wedding planning. Let us take care of all the details. We love themes ~and FOOD~ not just German! We can develop the perfect menu, layout, decor, and more to create a unique experience for your guests at your price point. Our team takes the time to hear your ideas, envision your perfect event with you, implement our shared plan, and ensure everyone enjoys our hospitality from start to finish. Our focus on aesthetics means we plate and garnish food on white china platters and wood instead of just dropping off disposable aluminum pans for you to figure out!

Kristin with Hausfrau Catering did a phenomenal job with my daughter’s wedding at Balla Cloiche Vineyards. The food and service were beyond expectation. The appetizers at cocktail hour were great, particularly the mini crab cakes (even made gluten free due to some allergies). There were about 90 guests and everything went very smoothly, from the plated salad and soup courses, then main course stations set up with beef, poultry, seafood choices, as well as a vegan option for a couple of guests. Dessert shooters were delicious. The rentals (tables, place settings, etc) were great and communication and flexibility were exceptional from start to finish. Highly recommend Hausfrau for any catering needs.

Tasteful Occasions Custom Catering was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick, thorough, helpful and extremely organized throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and the food they provided was absolutely excellent - everyone at our wedding raved about how delicious and high-quality the food was. They ensured we were well-fed and taken care of, and the staff were all so kind and attentive. The highlight for us was the Shrimp and Grits, which was out of this world, as well as the custom Philly Station they created for us featuring the most amazing roast pork sliders. They even brought to life my idea for a Mojito bar! I am someone who is not usually a big cake person, their wedding cake was so moist and flavorful that we were eating it for days after the wedding. Tasteful Occasions truly helped make our special day perfect, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Carabella's Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Dover, PA

Cooking has always been in my blood. My parents came to the U.S. from Sicily when I was a child. My dad owned restaurants/pizza shops for years, and my mom is an amazing home cook. I grew up surrounded by great food, learning and falling in love with it. I knew I wanted to work in food but wanted more than pizza shops. I attended Le Cordon Bleu in Pittsburgh, completing a 1-yr intensive French culinary program. I worked at a 5-star resort (Nemacolin), Hershey Hotel, Bricco (Upscale Mediterranean), The Left Bank, and Country Club of York. I have 15 years of experience in both banquet and à la carté service. Still, I felt called to something

Angela is such a wonderful chef! She makes delicious food with an authentic taste. Everything she does is always clean, well plated and elegant. Her customer service is phenomenal! She is vibrant, always smiling and very professional. You can’t go wrong when you book Carabellas Catering!

I absolutely loved working with Tasha and her team! We had our wedding at a rustic barn venue that did not have a kitchen, but Tasha was able to put together the perfect buffet setup that worked for us. She was very mindful of our budget, and was very helpful throughout the entire process. She came up with a delicious menu that went with our bbq theme, and the signature cocktails at our bar were a huge hit. Our guests gave me so many compliments about everything, and I am grateful that we had Tasha and her team there to make our wedding as special as it was.

The whole team at Bissou made our wedding amazing! Their coordinators- Esther & Ty made me feel so taken care of the entire night of our wedding and the week leading up. We had them handle the coordination, florals, cake, bartending, and full catering, and the whole experience was fantastic! We had a wedding of around 80 guests, and there was plenty of food, and it was delicious. The cake was wonderful, and the platter they made for our cocktail hour was custom Greek and sooo good! The only thing is that Chef T sometimes can be hard to reach, so I would definitely work with Esther as his main point of contact/coordinator. However, he is so lovely and sweet, and his food is fabulous!
