We are so happy we used Coterie Cafe Kitchen for our wedding! Working with Caitlin, Soufiane, and Dmitrik was such a great experience. From they very beginning, they were friendly, attentive, and incredibly organized. They took the time to meet with us on numerous occasions (both at their restaurant and at our venue) to make sure there were no missed details. They worked closely with us very early on to develop creative and elevated cocktail hour and dinner menus that our guests raved about afterwards - if you're looking for suggestions, the cheesy arancini balls were the clear favorite during cocktail hour, and the chicken satay bites (pictured) were a close second! The team was very careful to suggest ingredients and dishes that would help us lower costs without sacrificing quality, portion sizes, or gourmet touches. On the day of the wedding, they were extremely well-prepared, and their waitstaff were experienced and professional individuals. Early on during dinner service, they encountered some problems that were absolutely no fault of their own, and they pivoted with such care and precision that we didn't even know there were issues! It's clear they were incredibly far-sighted, and had a plan ready for every possible scenario. Caitlin, Soufiane, and Dmitrik truly went above and beyond to ensure our day was extra special. We are so grateful to the Coterie Cafe Kitchen team for making our wedding day unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sherms has catered many events for my friends and family so they were my first call when considering a caterer for our wedding. The process was seamless from start to finish. I had no idea how valuable they would be outside of simply providing and serving a delicious meal. Sherm and team helped me decide on linens, consider timing of events, and helped with all the details down to the champagne toast. They seem to have great partnerships with many in the community so I asked them for recommendations for tents and other rentals and everything went smoothly. Having an experienced wedding caterer is a must on your big day. The food and desserts were excellent and the customer service was first class. Highly recommend Sherm’s for all your catering needs.

Uncommon Unions 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Hockessin, DE

Uncommon Unions started as a shift in how I wanted to cook and share food. I’ve spent years working in kitchens, and over time I realized what stuck with people wasn’t the most complicated dish. It was the one that felt thoughtful, well made, and actually enjoyable to eat. That’s what I try to bring into everything I do now. Cooking in a way that feels intentional, a little different, but still grounded and approachable. A lot of what I care about is how people experience food together. The energy around it, the way it brings people in, the moments it creates. That’s really what Uncommon Unions is built on.

From our first conversation with Chef Jacob at Uncommon Unions, we knew we were in good hands. His communication was clear and educational—he took time to understand what we wanted and tailored everything to fit our vision, not what we thought a wedding dinner should look like. Having someone guide us through both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day meant we could stop stressing about food and start enjoying our celebration. On the actual day, Chef Jacob and his team delivered exactly what we hoped for: locally sourced, high-end dishes that felt fresh and nothing like typical wedding fare. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good and FRESH the food was, and honestly, without a day of planner, having Uncommon Unions handle everything so smoothly was a huge relief. We're grateful for a vendor that made one of our biggest worries disappear.

With over 15 years of experience Maison D is the premier catering and hospitality company you would ever need. We do everything from catering to event planning and everything in-between. We take your event to the next level and elevate it in every way possible

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but after my experience with Maison D Events and Hospitality, I felt like they truly deserved one. From the first conversation all the way through the end of the event, everything was handled with so much professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Planning an event can be stressful, especially when you’re trying to make sure the food, setup, timing, and overall experience come together the way you imagined. The team at Maison D made the entire process feel so much easier. They listened to what we wanted, communicated with us throughout the process, and were very accommodating when it came to the little details that mattered to us. The food was honestly one of the highlights of the event. Everything tasted fresh, was seasoned really well, and the presentation was beautiful. Our guests kept talking about how good the food was, and several people even asked who catered the event. The portions were great, everything came out looking professional, and you could tell that they actually take pride in what they serve. What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. The staff was friendly, respectful, attentive, and professional without making things feel stiff or overly formal. They made sure our guests were taken care of and handled things behind the scenes without us having to constantly check in or worry about what was happening next. That allowed us to actually enjoy the event instead of spending the entire time trying to manage everything. There were also little touches throughout the event that showed they genuinely cared about the experience and weren’t just there to provide food and leave. That type of hospitality is hard to find. Overall, we had a really great experience with Maison D Events and Hospitality. If you’re planning a wedding, birthday, corporate event, private dinner, or any special occasion and want a team that cares about the details, provides great food, and treats your guests well, I would definitely recommend them. Thank you to the entire Maison D team for helping make our event such a great experience. We will definitely be using them again in the future!
