Luongo Barbecue 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves State College, 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!

Luongo Barbecue was the perfect caterer for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication was consistent, friendly, and fast. They were incredibly easy to work with and made the entire process stress-free. On the day of the wedding, they arrived and set everything up seamlessly - I didn't even know they were there, which is exactly what a bride wants on her special day. And the food? Amazing! Delicious and consistent, it was a huge hit with all of our guests. People are still raving about it days later and wishing they could have taken some home. I would recommend Luongo Barbecue 100% - they were so understanding and attentive throughout the entire process. Their amazing service and incredible food made our wedding day that much more special.

Hausfrau Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves State College, 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!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Hausfrau Catering for my 80th birthday celebration, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! As an Austrian-born immigrant, it was essential for me to reflect my heritage in the event, and Hausfrau delivered beyond my expectations. From the moment I contacted Kristin Sanders, I knew I was in good hands. This was my first experience hiring a caterer, and Kristin was nothing short of amazing. She assisted me in planning the menu and remained incredibly accommodating as my guest list grew from 35 to 65. Throughout the planning process, she was mindful of my budget, while ensuring that everything was just right. The staff arrived on time and set up beautifully, donning stunning Austrian Dirndl dresses that added a special touch to the event. The food was absolutely perfect! We had a delightful array of German and Austrian dishes, complemented by some American favorites. The hors d'oeuvres, pretzel bar, buffet with three main dishes, and dessert received rave reviews from my guests, who are still talking about the meal and the event! The website portal was user-friendly and reflected the professionalism I experienced throughout the planning process. Hausfrau Catering will be my go-to reference for any future occasions. Thank you, Kristin and the entire Hausfrau team, for making my birthday celebration truly unforgettable!

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.

Carabella's Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves State College, 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!
