We love Brian so much!! We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and Brian was so helpful during the whole process. He is flexible and so easy to work with. He really let us personalize the menu and if you asked for anything, he would make it happen! The food was delicious and our guests were raving about everything from the cocktail hour to the dessert! We had "The Fair" for dessert which included chocolate banana bread pudding, chipwiches, and funnel cake fries--highly recommend! The caterer is a huge part of a wedding and we are so happy that we hired B&T!
The best decision I made for our wedding (besides my husband) was picking B&T catering. Let me tell you, we did our RESEARCH before picking a caterer. So many tastings and meetings and spreadsheets. B&T ended up not only being the most affordable, but the best service we could have asked for. Suzanne (the day of coordinator) made everything effortless, and I didn't have to stress at all the day of. Everyone kept talking about how AMAZING the food was. They were so accommodating with all of our requests. They set everything up and made it look so beautiful! I can't write enough good things. Hire them. Immediately. Trust me.
Initially we got estimates from 3 caterers, but B&T felt like the best fit for us. From the start, Brian was clear and thorough in his estimate. We were very pleased with the menu options and the variety available. Despite planning during the height of COVID, Brian was able to provide a safe and private tasting. After tasting his food we knew we’d made the right choice! Delicious! The planning process was very smooth and Brian’s communication was excellent. He met us several times at the venue to go over details as our planning evolved. Best of all, he was able to provide everything on our wish list while remaining within our budget. Everything went amazingly well. Everyone loved the food and the service was great. Two tips: Get the drunken shrimp and grilled cheese/tomato bisque appetizers and definitely opted for the ICE CREAM BAR!!!! 10/10!
Brian and the rest of his team were absolutely AMAZING. Brian was always in constant contact with us and would answer our phone calls/emails/texts whenever. He was always ready to change anything we wanted to our menu, and truly made it custom to fit what we wanted. As COVID hit, our guest list went down significantly, but Brian still gave us everything we had talked about previously with our smaller guest list. In addition, Brian made us a taco station that was so delicious! The guests at our wedding could not stop talking about all of the delicious food from cocktail hour, dinner, dessert (go with the carnival eats, you won't be disappointed), to our late night snack of burgers & fries as they left the venue. Brian is truly one of the nicest people we have ever met and he was so easy to work with. He is genuinely a nice person and just wants the day to be perfect for each of his couples. We <3 B&T catering!
I really can’t say enough amazing things about B&T catering. Everyone at our wedding absolutely raved about the food! We had such a fun food selection for cocktail hour and our dinner buffet was phenomenal. Our guests were complimenting the food all night and even the next day! Brian and Terance are truly two of the most wonderful people I have ever met. They are genuine, personable, caring and so helpful. They made wedding planning for catering so enjoyable and so easy. I could go on and on about how amazing our experience was! Thank you SO much B&T catering for making our wedding so incredible!!!!!
Brian and his team were incredible to work with. We included a little from Brian's recommended menu and a few things of our own, and everything was delicious. They were responsive and accommodating from the beginning and I felt like I could relax because everything was in great hands. We couldn't have been happier.
I could not be happier that we had Brian and his team to make our wedding day absolutely PERFECT! We had our wedding reception outside on my grandparents farm on a hot summer night which I felt would be a huge challenge for a caterer. Brian reassured me every step of the way that the day would be perfect and he absolutely followed through on that. The food was incredible and all made outside under a tent! I have had SO many of our guests comment on how awesome our food was and a couple of them even said it was the best wedding food they have ever had! We even had an ice cream bar! Brian and his team went above and beyond with what they helped with. We rented all of our tables and glassware and at the end of the night Brian and his team broke down all of the tables and chairs and stacked them up for us. They made sure everything was cleaned up and made the next day so much easier for us. My favorite story of the day came from my mom who ran up to my grandparents house to get something and found Brian in the kitchen making homemade whipped cream for the ice cream bar. He said it was too hot under the tent and it kept melting but he wanted to make sure that I had whipped cream at the ice cream bar so he went all the way up to the house to make the whipped cream himself. ABOVE AND BEYOND. Any other caterer would have just said its way too hot for this so forget it! Not Brian!! He also packed up all of the leftovers for us since he knew we did not eat a lot and sent them home with us at the end of the night.
If you book with B&T catering you will not be disappointed! Amazing food and even more amazing people!
B&T Catering was amazing. If I could leave the review at that, I would, but being a type A bride, I know details are important:)
Brian wasted NO time getting into it. Most caterers called, set up an in-person meeting, then another taste testing meeting, then a meeting to sign the contract. Who has time for all that?
The first meeting started right with taste testing and it was GOOD. I'm one of those "foodies". I hate admitting it, but the taste of food truely matters to me because for our family, that brings back memories.
I wanted my wedding guests to remember being taken care of and having an excellent meal and with B&T catering I got that. I'm going to skip ahead and say at the wedding and weeks after, I had people complimenting the food (short ribs and crab cakes especially!). When people said it, they weren't saying it to be nice, they had that tone of voice you can TELL they mean it.
Back to the testing, Brian was so himself that you felt comfortable and knew that he knew exactly what he was talking about. He knew what would work best with an outside tent wedding, how the food would stand up in the weather, and if it would be possible to keep the meals warm/cold.
Not only did he have excellent food, he provided all the linens, glasses, etc. And he worked directly with our tent company to figure out how many tables, chairs, food tables, etc we would need for our guest count. He also sent over tentative drawings for the way he would suggest a tent set up which was super helpful since we had a large wedding(260 invited) and had no idea the best layout.
What I appreciate the most, is Brian thinks on his feet. My family threw him some surprises, deciding the day of to have the entire wedding go to the dinner an hour early... and he still managed to get the cocktail hour started and dinner done on time.
I probably had over 50 some emails and 10 calls to Brian the week of the wedding and he answered every single one. He is open and honest about what he can/t do and he basically does everything.
You will rest assured that should everything else go wrong (though it won't! ) your food will be AMAZING.
I used B&T Catering for my wedding this past September and I couldn’t have been happier with their service. Their team was beyond accommodating – from our first tasting to the planning and deciding what food we wanted, they were beyond helpful and genuinely kind. Brian and Susanne were especially nice and helped to take the stress away from the planning. Their food was absolutely delicious it truly went above and beyond our expectations. From the scrumptious grilled pizza and tomato bisque with asparagus grilled cheese shooters to the mouth watering herb crusted beef tenderloin with port wine demi glaze sauce – everything was cooked to perfection. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious all of the food was. B&T Catering is simply the best and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have food catered for their event!
B&T was one of the best parts of our wedding! Not only was the food extremely affordable for the Philadelphia area, but we also had SO MUCH of it! Brian was really fun to work with to create our custom menu, from the 6 hors d'ouvres all the way to the dessert. We had Brian and his team create some of the hors d'ouvres for us based on foods we love, and added in the bruschetta bar. My new husband's very large Italian family are very opinionated when it comes to food, and are not afraid to tell you if they don't like something. They absolutely RAVED about all the food, especially the scallops!
We had some kitchen issues at our venue (it's brand new for weddings) and Brian not only handled them with ease, but we didn't even know about the issues until afterwards! The food was all cooked perfectly despite the stove issues, and as the bride it was really nice to not have been notified about any issues. Their team is very thoughtful and beyond professional in that regard. They also had reserved 2 of each appetizer for my husband and I to eat as we sat down for toasting, etc.
Our complete menu:
Antipasti display
Bruschetta bar (only thing we added extra)
Buffalo chicken spring rolls (Brian created for us)

Pan seared scallops with lemon caper sauce (Huge scallops, and totally AMAZING tasting. And scallops are difficult to cook well normally, let alone in mass quantities with stoves not working!)

Black raspberry
Mint chocolate chip
Rum raisin
Peanut butter ripple
All the sundae bar fixings
My husband and I provided the coffee service with dessert but they normally provide it with your cost
Cake from Lochel's
We would not hesitate to recommend B&T's for any occasion needed. We want to get married again all over so we can have another fancy delicious dinner with all our favorite people! We also had a family style dinner, and Brian's team executed the entire day perfectly and incredibly easily on my end. They were so easy to work with, as well as were happy to work in a brand new setting with some quirks since it's a very old building.
Our whole day was perfect despite bad weather, but B&T made it all happen!
Brian, Terence, and the staff of B & T Catering were amazing. From the moment that we began communicating with Brian, he went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and he gladly accommodated all of our requests. He was so down to earth, genuine, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. The day of our wedding, Brian and his staff went above and beyond our expectations. Not only was the food beautiful and delicious, but everything flowed seamlessly in large part due to Brian and his head server Suzanne. We (and our guests) felt so taken care of by the entire staff of B&T throughout the evening. We can't thank all of you enough for all of the hard work you did to make our wedding day so memorable and perfect!
Brian and Susanne were phenomenal. From the minute we began talking to them about our daughter's wedding until the wee hours of the morning after the reception, everything was perfect. The selection of menus was extensive, the presentation and flavors of all appetizers, main course dishes, and the dessert were out of this world! We had 200 guests and EVERYONE said how delicious the food was and how courteous the staff was to everyone all night long. A very professional and accommodating group. I highly recommend them for a stress free experience!
We couldn't have had a better caterer for our wedding, everyone loved the food and they were so attentive to me and my husband. The day wouldn't have been the same without them!!
I wish I could give even more stars for B&T catering. I had a very specific vision for my wedding and they worked with me to make sure everything was perfect. The "tasting" was also my family's favorite part of wedding planning. Thank you so much!
B&T Catering went above and beyond what we expected. They were extremely flexible with our menu and even gave us great suggestions for desserts that everyone was impressed with. We had a last minute issue with rain and getting a tent and Brian went the extra mile to make sure everything was organized and set up for the big day. I will use them in the future for any event big or small!
B&T Catering based out of Southampton are the best! Brian and Terrence made my wedding day so incredibly special and the food was incredible. The presentation also wowed. From meat eaters, to vegans, everyone was pleased! Brian and Terrence were very responsive during the whole process and made the whole experience easy and stress free. They accommodate at any venue or house. They do plated dinners, buffet style, or stations. My husband and I chose stations and we loved the variety it had! One station was cakes (crab, salmon, risotto), another was filet (with mushroom demi-glaze and mashed potatoes), and the other had many other vegan and vegetarian options. The cocktail hour was delicious and included flat-breads, lobster cocktail shooters, and more! I would use B&T for my next event any day and plan on using them for our company Christmas party! If you use them, you will not be disappointed!
