Uncommon Unions 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Philadelphia, PA

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.

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.

Summit Catering officially opened in 1991. The owner built this small family business from the ground up. In 1998, they welcomed their first child with three more to follow. They work alongside Joe and Dory to help this family business thrive. In 2018, Summit welcomes Chef Kevin to their team to work alongside Joe. Our event planners, Alysa and Tori, will be with you from booking to executing your wedding day. They work 24/7 to ensure you a stress-free wedding planning experience. After 29 successful years of serving South Jersey, Joe, Dory, Kevin, Tori, and Alysa are ready and eager to make your next event a culinary experience!

Tori, Nina, Dory, Patty, and the whole Summit crew made our day spectacular. Of course the food was outrageously good with super unique choices (our appetizers included turkey and brie egg rolls and bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese to just name a few), but the start-to-finish support and care taken by Tori, Nina, and Patty put our mind at ease throughout the entire day. And that was so important to us. Tori helped us throughout the entire planning process make the decisions that suited us best, and was always there to hype up our choices. Nina ran the smoothest ship the day of the wedding. And Patty was incredible day-of, making sure we ate, drank, and were well taken care of. We wanted a fun party that felt uniquely us, and Summit helped us achieve that. We are so, so grateful, and hope to be able to work with them again in the future.

Flora and Fauna Foods is a full-service catering company offering food, bar service, and event rentals for weddings and special occasions. We started this business out of a love for bringing people together over great food and meaningful celebrations. Our team handles every detail, from custom menus to bar setup and rental logistics, so clients can fully enjoy their event stress-free. We believe every gathering deserves fresh ingredients, thoughtful presentation, and service that feels personal. Whether intimate or large-scale, our goal is the same: create an experience guests remember and hosts can relax through.

Flora and Fauna Foods made planning our corporate event so much simpler than we expected. We needed a complete package catering and having one team handle everything from bar to food service meant we weren't stuck managing separate vendors or worrying about things not matching up. Setup was smooth, everything showed up exactly as planned, and the team was easy to communicate with leading up to the event. The food itself was a hit with our coworkers, and the presentation looked sharp without feeling overly formal. It's rare to find a vendor that takes this much pressure off the planning side. We'll definitely be using them again for future company events.

As a kid, Rebecca could be found in the kitchen cooking with either her Mom or Grandma. Traveling to Albany was always a treat, as her favorite dish to eat was Nan's French toast.

She decided to start the business as a food truck in 2016, as a way to keep her brand more mobile.

Hudson Table is a culinary studio located in the heart of Northern Liberties in Philadelphia. We offer everything from cooking classes, to live chef competitions, to bespoke private catered events. Our catering department provides each guest with an extraordinary and memorable experience with a focus on impeccable service, chef-curated seasonal menus, and full customizability to exceed your expectations.

Hudson Table and its staff are a hidden gem for your wedding or special event. We hosted our rehearsal dinner for 45 people at Hudson Table in June 2022. Anne, Chef Doug, Christine and their staff were so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process. Chef Doug crafted an amazing menu that catered to our large group and honored several dietary restrictions including vegans and nut allergies. Hudson Table is also BYO which helps keep an event like this within budget. The price point is so reasonable: we looked into numerous options and you cannot feed a group of 45 at this price point at any other venue in the city, and few others can accommodate this large a group. We opted for the additional barending staff and definitely recommend it, they were so helpful and the price was on-budget and elevated the event. Upon arrival, I was thrilled to see the space set up with table runners, and our event manager Christine had an eye for the space and helped us arrange our candles tastefully on some beautiful plateware she had on-site and set up the tables with pops of colored poetry. Hudson Table also has some outdoor seating which is great for a large event like ours, so we had run over into the outdoor space for seating, and Christine decorated those tales with some greenery. The photos from the outdoor space are STUNNING. Christine our event manager kept us on time and checked in with me and my groom frequently to make sure we were eating and to alert us when it was time for toasts, and when we're ready to clean up. Chef Doug also made sure we were eating while entertaining, and checked in about the quality of the food. The portions are generous, and even with 45 people we had leftovers. Hudson packaged the leftovers for us and our guests to take home which was such a pleasant surprise. My groom and I received so many compliments from our guests about the food and the space and were told it was one of the most fun rehearsal dinners they've ever attended. If you are looking for a casual, friendly environment where you can mingle with guests and eat to die-for food, honestly look no further.
