The catering provided by Festive Board Catering was amazing! They did a wonderful job with set-up, clean-up and service. The team stayed for the entire wedding, refilling water glasses, assisting with the buffet, bar and clean up. Set-up was so easy, they transformed the space with their table linens and the centerpieces they set up for us. I did remove one star as communication was completely halted the week before our wedding and I had to reach out several times in order to set up our week of meeting. That being said, our wedding turned out to be everything we wanted it to be. I do recommend Festive Board to all wedding couples.

Restaurant now open in Middletown offering tastings! Preparing and serving slow smoked, expertly prepared Texas barbecue and rustic Italian inspired dishes is the greatest joy in my life.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Luongo BBQ is a small business with HEART. Their barbecue is insanely good, fantastic sides, and a lovely charcuterie spread! They are also amazing people who were so ready to help in any way, and made our wedding meal a true highlight!! Where most caterers would not work within our budget, Luongo was so accommodating, gave us options so we could adjust our choices to what we could afford, and were on-site, setting up, serving, and even packed up the leftovers into containers we brought. I (the bride) also passed them on my way to walk down the aisle and they were so kind and hyped me up when I really needed it. PLEASE do yourself a favor and book them! They are a wonder to work with!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you would like a more eclectic, adventurous offering for your wedding or major event, I could not recommend Upohar enough. Months removed from my wedding, my guests are still raving about the food being the best that they've ever had at such an event. The entire team made the process incredibly easy and seamless. I was able to bring a lifelong memory to fruition through two meetings, one in-person and one virtual, along with some emails back and forth to nail down menu, drink and service logistics. Throughout this entire process, the team was responsive, transparent, helpful and incredibly well-skilled at what they do. We had a decent amount of food left over after the event, and about five or six households came to ours on the day after the wedding with all of their food storage to stock up for the week- that's how good it was. We are so incredibly thankful for Upohar for being a cornerstone of the most important day of our lives, and I will always cherish what they were able to provide for us.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

Mountain Laurel Catering & Events 
Rating: 4.6 (9 reviews)
  • Serves Ephrata, PA

Mountain Laurel specializes in real food and event production. The food we serve is grown and prepared by hand, and our events are organized and executed with professionalism. Mountain Laurel utilizes as many farms, markets, orchards as possible, as well as the changing seasons to craft each individual menu and align our client’s tastes with their occasion and personalities. We’re passionate about using responsible and sustainable products and practices. With 30 years of combined talent, Mountain Laurel Catering & Events is ready to make your next event unforgettable!

The food was phenomenal and everyone loved it, however, we (bride& groom) were at cocktail hour for 30 minutes and were not approached with any of the cocktail hour foods. Which is upsetting. Also, we had to provide the alcohol for the bar, and at the end of the night we noted multiple bottles of the same liquor and cases of beer open (even though they werent used). Which affects what we could return. We were assured that the bartenders would only open up what they had to use but that wasnt the case.

Right from our initial inquiry, Chef Bryan and his team were incredibly helpful and responsive. During the reception, Mellie Bellies was a dream team. They made sure we could enjoy our cocktail hour appetizers and dinner amidst the whirlwind of being newlyweds. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food all evening, and even days later, the compliments keep coming.

Carabella's Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Ephrata, 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

I have used Carabella’s multiple times for different events. I have been extremely happy every time! Her food has always been amazing, communication is great, and pricing is very competitive. I would highly recommend booking Carabella’s for your next event!

Kirk and his team were nothing short of amazing! Our only regret is that we didn't find Milk and Honey earlier in the hunt for a caterer. Kirk was fantastic to work with. He answered every question, was flexible and provided options based off of specific dietary needs of a few guests, and made our wedding day great! Our guests have continued to rave about the food; saying it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Kirk provided options with the menu, along with rentals, in order to fit our budget. With a wedding of 215 guests, Kirk's team made everything run flawlessly. We cannot recommend Milk and Honey Catering highly enough. We will certainly be using them again in the future!

Vow & Vine LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Ephrata, PA

Vow & Vine LLC was created from a lifelong passion for cooking, designing, and bringing ideas to life by hand. What began as a love for creating-whether in the kitchen or through carefully curated details-grew into something much greater: a business built on intention, creativity, and connection. My aesthetic and vision were shaped early on through a deep connection to alternative music and the culture surrounding it. That influence is woven into Vow & Vine's signature style-dark, romantic, and visually striking. It allows us to create experiences that feel unique and personal, especially for those who don't resonate with traditional events.

I had an incredible experience working with Vow & Vine LLC from start to finish. Kelsey was super down to earth and responsive to every question I threw her way, making the planning process feel effortless. She put her whole heart into making sure every detail of our wedding food was exactly how i wanted it, and it showed on the day of the event. The quality of the catering was flawless—each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, and the guests could not stop raving about the meal. Vow & Vine's attention to detail and professionalism made me feel confident i was in great hands. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a caterer that truly cares.

T and her company were amazing to work with! She is able to make a large wedding look easy (it’s not lol). My husband and I had a personal tragedy occur literally weeks before our wedding taking our focus elsewhere. I sent inspiration photos and we discussed our vision (simple elegance) and she handled everything else: coordination with the venues, our photographer, the transportation company, catering, and most importantly, with my husband, to allow as little stress on me (us) for our wedding while ensuring it was what we wanted. She is very communicative and able to resource pretty much anything (e.g. burgundy flowers, specific table settings, etc). She directed my focus to the most important things we wanted and was able to instinctually fill in the rest when I wasn’t mentally and physically able to facilitate, creating the vision we so wanted for our wedding. We have received so many compliments from our friends and family and most importantly, we are happy with what was delivered for our special day.

She came up with a delicious menu that went with our bbq theme, and the signature cocktails at our bar were a huge hit.
