RSVP Catering promises to bring your dream wedding to life with a harmony of flavors that create a lasting impression. Our exquisite attention to detail, flawless execution and imaginative cuisine make every wedding experience as unique as the couples themselves. Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for making us part of your special day.

RSVP Catering’s entire team, and especially Amanda Bauer, our main liaison, was wonderful to work with on our wedding in April 2019. RSVP invited us to a tasting of their new seasonal additions to their menu before we actually booked them as our caterer, then offered us multiple drafts of menu selections, as well as a personalized tasting of menu choices to help us narrow down our wedding menu. The constant and detailed communication with Amanda and her team throughout the planning process was very helpful and we appreciated their recommendations and guidance on set up, event flow, and popular menu and bar choices. The food was beautiful and elegant, tasted amazing, and we even received multiple comments that ours was the "best wedding food" our wedding guests had ever had! We really enjoyed working with RSVP and highly recommend them as a caterer for your wedding or next event!

I can’t say enough good things about Helga’s Caterers. I was planning the wedding from out of state and Michael was a pleasure to work with. He responded quickly to emails and phone calls. We had to change the wedding venue the morning of the wedding due to Hurricane Ophelia. His staff was tasked with making a last minute venue look beautiful and they did. You would have never known that it was not the planned venue. The serving staff was courteous and efficient and went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy. We had a sit down dinner with 3 main course choices. The food was delicious from appetizers to desserts. I highly recommend Helga’s Caterers.

Constellation Culinary Group

  • Starts at $15,000
  • Serves Washington, DC

Constellation is the caterer for numerous venues throughout the Philadelphia area, with unique locations from raw industrial spaces and lively concert halls to historic houses and iconic museums, and also offers in-home and office catering. Our dedicated team forms strong connections both inside our organization and with our clients, and these connections define us. Together, we bring restaurant-quality outside of restaurants, serving everything from intimate weddings to non-profit galas. We’ve built a culinary group that does what restaurants always have: get people talking—and daydreaming—about food, long after their last bite.

When we signed on with Constellation to cater our wedding, we had high expectations based on their stellar reputation alone, and they far exceeded our expectations on every level. During the year-long planning process, Brittany and her team were wonderful to work with; they were responsive from start to finish and very accomodating of our requests to ensure everything matched our vision from rentals to service to food. We had a backyard wedding so food service was anything but standard. They were flexible and nimble enough to service out of a barn (!) and a garage and somehow pulled it all off without a hitch. And, of course, the food was incredible. The cocktail hour spread with passed hors d'oeuvres and stations was a showstopper and I'm still dreaming about (and trying to emulate) our beautiful dual entree. Thank you to Brittany and the entire Constellation team for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

Dedicated to delivering couples and their guests a unique experience, we provide equal parts culinary expertise, attentive service and artful presentation. Backed by decades of experience, The Classic Catering People brings your wedding dreams to life!

Your guests will leave full and happy. The food is AMAZING. We had people coming up to us and our parents on wedding day asking who catered. We had a lot of vegan and gluten free guests and Classic made sure that they had just as many options as those without the restrictions. Our vegan friends who are used to just picking at salads at every wedding couldn't stop talking about how good everything was, and how they could actually eat it! We worked with Georgetta who helped us at every turn. She made everything perfect and did so much for us, from the time of our first tasting to the very end of the big day. She answered every question and every single email. She was always quick with it and always encouraged us to ask as many questions as we needed to, to feel confident in the process. She worked with our budget and made everything come out better than we could have ever imagined. Classic's wait staff and bartenders were also incredible. My husband requested specific gluten free beers because of an allergy and not only did they pull through with it, but they also poured him one for dinner before he even had to ask. They did the same for me with my favorite cocktail! We felt like A-list celebrities all night. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, and their attention to detail is unmatched. Go to your tastings and give honest feedback! They will make everything exactly how you want it.

My husband and I chose the plated dinner and Let me tell you, that exceeded our expectations! Our guests kept calling after the wedding to compliment me as they were impressed with the food and services from the servers. One of the main highlights is how they made sure that my bridal party ate during the cocktails hour after the ceremony while taking our pictures.
