    We had Upohar cater our wedding. We worked with Sri and Danea to construct a menu that would work with many dietary restrictions (Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Diary Free).

    Luongo Barbecue came in and saved our day. We had a lot of challenges planning our wedding, and our budget became very tight. With only 2 week left to plan, Chuck was quick to respond our request and took our wedding happily and did everything he could to help our day run smoothly and come together. The prices were affordable, the food was great, and the presentation was beautiful. Chuck and his team were flexible and patient with our entire family, including our special needs daughter.

    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.

    Kelsey and her team did an incredible job catering for the bridal shower that I was hosting! She took the time to construct a menu with me that fit the Sunday dinner vibe with an elegant “something blue before I do” theme. The food was absolutely delicious, the presentation was gorgeous. The service incredible. She kept everything full and ready for second helpings. The little details that she added made it all the better. The effort she put in to the theme was so impressive. Small blue bows on the champagne flutes, cups that match the theme. I could feel the love she has for her job and the dedication she has to please her customers. I will definitely be using Vow and Vine in the future!

    • Serves Lancaster, 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!
