Crossroads Bistro, deserves every bit of praise and more. Nicole is incredible—from the very beginning, she went above and beyond for our wedding. The food was absolutely fantastic, and our guests are still raving about how beautiful the place settings were, how delicious everything tasted, and how amazing the service was.
Nicole sent us thoughtful ideas for floor plans and table layouts completely customized to our venue. Her attention to detail is unmatched. I came in with a general idea for the dessert table and a few crates, gave her full artistic freedom, and she knocked it out of the park. She collaborated seamlessly with our venue team and day-of coordinator and truly brought our vision to life.
Crossroad's staff and bartenders were incredible as well. Our signature drinks were perfectly crafted, and the bartender kept everyone hydrated and the party going all night!
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Crossroads Bistro, Nicole and Brian. If you’re looking for a caterer who is creative, professional, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further.

We were absolutely thrilled with Crossroads Bistro and Nicole’s exceptional service at our wedding on October 11, 2025. From the very beginning, Nicole made sure we and our guests were well cared for. She personally met with anyone who had special dietary accommodations and made sure they knew exactly what dining options were available to them. The presentation was beautiful, and the food was phenomenal. Our guests are still talking about the cheesecake shooters.
When our original day-of coordinator situation unexpectedly changed, Nicole did not hesitate to offer her help, showing just how much she cares about the couples she works with. That level of compassion and professionalism meant the world to us and helped the entire day run smoothly. We truly felt we were in great hands from start to finish.
Tip for future couples: If you have guests with dietary needs, let Nicole know early. She will personally make sure everyone feels included and taken care of.

Crossroads catered and bartended our wedding and it was truly an amazing experience. Everything from the food to the service was incredible. They came very prepared, even went the extra mile to set up our dessert table for us. Every guest left saying how full they were and how amazing the food was!

We were first recommended to Crossroads Bistro through our venue’s (Rockfield Manor) preferred catering list, and it’s easy to see why they came so highly regarded! Nicole and the Crossroads team truly felt integrated with our venue’s management, which made the process so seamless and stress-free. Nicole was always very attentive, and we had multiple check-ins throughout the process to ensure we were on the same page and to lock in our decisions. And, not to mention, the food was delicious! We were so pleased with our service and food choices, and we cannot recommend Crossroads Bistro enough. We’ll definitely be frequent visitors to their restaurant too!

Crossroads Bistro catered my daughter's wedding at Island View Waterfront and it was a magical experience. Nicole and her team created a delicious meal from start to finish. Everything from the table settings, to the service, to the timing was just perfect. The appetizers were scrumptious, the entrees were fantastic, the specialty drinks were great and the kids loved their chicken fingers. I highly recommend Crossroads Bistro!

We had Crossroads Bistro cater our wedding, and they were absolutely phenomenal! From the start, we appreciated their transparency with pricing, which made our planning process so much easier. Then we tried the food—and we were completely won over!
Nicole was a dream to work with—so down to earth, responsive, and genuinely kind. She made everything feel seamless. The entire team was warm and professional.
Every single dish we tried was delicious, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food. They were also incredibly accommodating with dietary restrictions—we had a guest who was gluten-free and vegan, and she was thrilled with the special plate prepared just for her.
We truly can’t recommend Crossroads Bistro enough. If you’re looking for amazing food and even better people to work with, this is the team for you!

Nicole and her team was absolutely amazing. I knew from the second I met her that I wanted her to be our caterer. The tasting was wonderful and all of the food was delicious. We got so many compliments on our food, ESPECIALLY the pretzels and beer cheese (it was absolutely amazing). After our ceremony, my husband and I went back to the getting ready suite, to have a minute to soak it all in. Nicole made sure we had our drink of choice and a tray of all the cocktail hour food. Her team was absolutely killing it the entire day, they also served my dippin’ dots which were a big hit!! Nicole made our signature drinks come to life, which we also got so many compliments on. I recommend crossroads to anyone I could across in need of catering.
I was also so thankful for Nicole in the year leading up to my wedding, she was always there to answer my question and ease my stress anytime she could!
Do the tasting, Hire Crossroads!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Crossroads. From our initial tasting all the way up to our reception; they were FANTASTIC. At the tasting, we were served almost every wedding food you could think of to choose from and it was all extremely delicious. One of the hardest parts was narrowing down the food items because they were just all so tasty to choose from. The owner Nicole is one of the most lovely people ever. She is straight forward and honest. I didn’t feel like we were being oversold or anything of that sort. She actually worked very hard to fit within our set budget. During the wedding process she was extremely responsive and answered any question I had. Nicole is super understanding and will do whatever is possible in her realm to make sure you have your dream day. I was even served by her at my own buffet wedding so I didn’t have to make myself a plate. Little things like that truly make all the difference and I am forever grateful Crossroads was our wedding caterer. We had guests come up to us all night to comment on how good the food was. Nicole and her team did so well to make sure our day was a perfect one.

If I could give Crossroads 100 stars, I would! Nicole and her team were responsive, helpful, kind, and knowledgeable right from the start! From the tasting to the day of the event, Nicole and her team went above and beyond to ensure that my husband and I were 100% satisfied. They work so well with other vendors and provided us with the guidance we needed when making important decisions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Nicole and her team are amazing! They were so amazing on our wedding day at the Liriodendron. Our guests said this was some of the best wedding food they've ever had and left full and happy. I highly recommend the caprese salad and vegetable dumplings. The Crossroads team was super professional, warm, and kind. I really appreciate them making our wedding day wonderful!

Nicole and the Crossroads team went above and beyond for our wedding at Rockfield. I feel like this picture sort of speaks for itself! Food was the most important thing for us and everything was delicious, from the appetizers to dinner to the ice cream bar at the end of the night. Scheduling our tasting was easy and we knew as soon as we tried the food that we were going with them. It wasn’t just the food that set them apart for us but the service and how well they coordinated with the rest of our vendors and day of coordinator leading up to the wedding. We can’t thank you enough for being such a big part of our special day!

Amazing amazing amazing!!! Crossroads absolutely blew it out of the water. When we first began the wedding planning process my husband and I were beyond ourselves with how we would afford to feed our guests. But crossroads took the time to really tailor a plan that fit our budget and made it so every guest really got an amazing meal. The service here is just so amazing. Nicole does an incredible job making you feel like no question is too much. They were so generous with portion sizes. The food is just to die for. We will definitely be suggesting them to every couple. Could not be happier: 100/10

Crossroads Bistro catered our wedding last Saturday and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! Nicole, Brian, and their staff provided professionalism and hard work to serve our guests incredible food. When we visited our tables, so many people complimented the delicious food and kind staff. If you want the best of the best for your event, this is the catering business to book!

We had a wonderful experience working with Crossroads Bistro for our 9/29/23 wedding! Nicole & Brian were so incredibly kind, helpful, & thorough in their planning with us - our day went so smoothly & they definitely contributed to that immensely! They were easy to communicate with prior to the wedding, quick to respond to questions we had, & ensured we had everything worked out beforehand be it who the leftovers went to & the timeline the day of. Their workers the day of were efficient & friendly. The food was great, we chose the buffet option for dinner - we had a tasting months before & were able to try a great variety of foods they had to offer & they were very thorough in answering questions we had about their food choices & catering tiers. We were easily able to adjust some of their meal options to vegan for some of our guests. I would say they are much more reasonably priced than a lot of the options we looked at in the HarCo area, especially for the quality of service & food they offered. We also did our alcohol & linens through their services which was also simple & seamless to understand & execute. I can’t thank them enough for their amazing service & food for our special day!

We cannot thank Crossroads and their team enough for catering our wedding. They were absolutely amazing, to running around all morning trying to find Fresca (a special order for our wedding) and to running out at cocktail hour cause already ran out of High Noons. There team were so amazing and I couldn't ask for better tasting food. Everyone at the wedding told how amazing the food was.

I would like to start off that this post will not due justice but I can say with full and utter certainty that if I did it all again I would not change who we entrusted.
Crossroads Bistro I can not even begin to describe in the whole process of this wedding how crucial helpful and human Nicole is. Her team, her I just... I can't even begin to describe how crucial and supportive they were. Any other cateror does not hold a candle and I will bet money on that. Even redid how the walk through worked to personalize it because she understood me and how I processed. Nicole and her team did not disappoint and did not skip a beat. For many brides and locals I'm sure there is utter hype about Dean and brown or the new local but both truly are expensive compared to cross roads. Although we did not meet with the local due to astronomical prices, I can tell u Dean and brown were very
.. subpar... over priced and at times snobby. Nicole and her team and cross roads NEVER made us feel less in any way and focused on what WE wanted. There variety you can achieve with just this one cateror and the breath of fresh air in how they conduct their business is of no comparison with anyone else. Nicole will not stop short from checking any one or any vendor who polity needs to be reminded that this is your day and she will do what is best. I can say she eased and calmed so my monsoons for us. Nicole I would entrust with any event, any time, place and any type of guests. impeccable!

I am so glad that we decided to book with Crossroads Bistro! Nicole and her team were great from consultation to wedding day and the food was delicious. We even used their suggested vendors for liquor and linens and everything was beautiful. They were very professional and communicative and it was clear that they were familiar with the venue which was super helpful. I could not have asked for more for my wedding day.

Nicole and her team were truly incredible on our big day. She was so easy to work with to create what we want in a way that would also fit in our budget. Our guests complimented our food and the service. Not only that, but Nicole arranged a private cocktail hour for my new husband and I in a separate room and prepared plates for us! Gave us a quick 10 minutes to escape before our grand entrance. During that time, she even bustled my dress for me! All while pregnant too. She thought of so many details I would have missed. Truly the best choice!

Nicole is amazing! We were originally considering another caterer but we couldn't justify the price so luckily we were able to quickly book a last minute tasting with Crossroads. The food was great and Nicole was so flexible with letting us try more foods beyond what we were agreed to for the tasting. And the price was so reasonable!
She was not always easy to reach over the year or so of planning but I completely understood how busy she was and she was honest. But as the wedding was getting closer, she was very responsive and open when it mattered most. She was so flexible with changes and making sure we were getting what we wanted.
The food was delicious and beautiful the day of the wedding! Half of the compliments we received from guests were about the food. Would not change a thing and would absolutely recommend Crossroads to anyone!

Amazing service! Nicole (and her team) are the best! Nicole is such an advocate for the bride and groom enjoying themselves and being as worry free as possible on their day. Even though she was busy with food and such all evening, she would randomly pop up like a fairy-godmother and ask if we needed anything.
Amazing food! I first had Crossroads at the food truck and instantly loved it! Such a good mix of different types of food, great for a variety of tastes. I'm absolutely in love with the crab and corn chowder and the French fry bar was a huge hit! Everyone complimented our food!
Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better group of people, especially Nicole, to cater our wedding and the food was top notch.
Book Crossroads Bistro! You won't regret it!

We used Crossroads Bistro's catering and food truck service for our fall 2021 wedding. Nicole was fantastic to work with and made everything easy and stress-free.
Starting the process of finding a wedding caterer was overwhelming, to say the least. Crossroads came highly recommended to us and from there the rest was easy. We had a tasting in house and Nicole was very helpful and we could try A LOT of options to help us make our food selections for the big day. Nicole also took care of the linens, extra table and chair rentals and the bar services.
For our cocktail hour, we had the crab dip, vegetables and chicken and waffle bites. For dinner, we had the caesar salad, crab cakes, brown sugar ham and mashed potato bar. The food was EXCELLENT. It traveled well and everyone LOVED the food. Best wedding food we have ever had (and we are defiantly not biased there).
The staff were very helpful on the day of the event. Everyone was friendly and vibed with guests all night. The bartenders did an amazing job. Everyone had a blast.
Nicole did an amazing job with making sure schedules were followed and with helping to flip the room between the ceremony and the reception. We did not have to worry about anything. She really went above and beyond. Anything she could help with, she did. She was a fantastic person to have there. Nicole really took care of us in making sure we were always fed and had a drink whenever we wanted one.
We also had the food truck come out for late-night snack and our guests really enjoyed that.
I really cannot say enough good things about our experience, Nicole or the food.
I would absolutely use Crossroads catering again!
