Our event was more embarrassing & disturbing. They will receive 2 stars from me . From start the uniforms of the servers was dirty.The servers was on their phone .The one guy pouring our champagne didn't have teeth in his mouth.So embarrassing will not recommend this business
I cannot recommend working with Feastivities more! Our wedding was beautiful, the food was delicious (guests are still raving about the grilled cheese shooters), stress was kept at a minimum and we truly could not have asked for a better event. From the get go communication with Jeffrey was easy and thorough. We had A LOT of guests with allergies and intolerances and he made sure to answer each and every question. The food was delicious and happily devoured by guests, and none of allergy guests had any issues. Additionally, Jeffrey and his team were okay with us giving them some decor and ideas and decorating the space for us. I was blown away by how beautiful the space was when I saw it. I don't cry easily but seeing how perfect the space was almost brought me to tears - I could not have asked for anything better. On the wedding day Jeffrey was calm and collected overseeing all the catering staff, cuing my now husband and I for various events at the wedding, answering even more allergy questions and checking in on us throughout the night. Perhaps most importantly, when I arrived at the venue knocked out by one of the worst migraines I have ever had, Jeffrey made sure I had everything I needed to feel better and enjoy the night as much as possible. Jeffrey and his team really go above and beyond to make your wedding an amazing day for you and we could not be more grateful. Thank you all so much!!
Feastivities Events was amazing to work with! Jeffrey customized our reception and cocktail hour menus to our liking! Jeffrey and his catering staff was very efficient, which made our day run so smoothly. The food was exceptional from our stations, passed bites, full course menu and ice cream sundae bar, and of course chocolate chip cookies on our dance floor. Needless to say, our guests and ourselves did not leave hungry! We can't thank Feastivities Events enough for all of their hard work!
We loved working with feastivities and found them to be the perfect wedding caterer. They are absolute experts at putting together a menu that will taste great and have truly FUN aspects (blow torch smores anyone!?!). They made the whole process from tasting, to selecting linens, to day of logistics as smooth as possible and were crucial to our day going off without a hitch!
Where to start!? They eat sleep and breathe event hospitality! We are always excited to hear when a client has chosen to work with Feastivities Events for their wedding or event! The food is not only tasty, but presented beautifully and the style of service is top notch. They truly understand all aspect of an event and bring their A game
We look forward to many future events with the Feast Team!
Feastivities Catering did an amazing job at our wedding, Not only was all of the food delicious, but Jeffery did an amazing job helping us plan and execute the wedding perfectly. From the meetings we had on site, to the food tasting, to the rehearsal day that he ran for us, everything was professionally done and expertly handled. Everyone loved the wedding day dinner, and our wedding party and family couldn’t believe how hands on Jeffery and his team were with coordinating and running our whole wedding weekend. Since we did have an official wedding planner, it was such a perk to have someone like Jeffery assist us in running the weekend to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We can’t believe how amazing our wedding weekend was, and the Feastivities team played a large part in making that happen. They allowed us to enjoy the day so much more, and they made all the planning much less stressful. We highly recommend Feastivities Catering for delicious food and amazing execution on your wedding day.
Working with Doug and the rest of the Feastivities team was an absolute pleasure, to say the least. From our initial conversation, Doug was fast to respond to any questions we had about our wedding day events. Feastivities provided a huge variety of options for cocktail hour and our seated reception meal. This allowed all our guests to enjoy the food, even with dietary restrictions and allergies. In addition, they helped provide linens and plate settings for the meal. Doug helped us bring our vision to life! We highly recommend using Feastivities Events for your upcoming weddings and events!
We got married May 21st 2022 at Cairnwood Estate. Feastivities has amazing food, I'm really glad we had them cater our wedding. Our guests talked so much about how much they loved the food! The staff is also super nice and friendly, Caroline was so helpful during our planning process. The tasting is so personalized and a whole experience in itself. We got to bring some of our wedding party to the tasting and the tasting room is right where you can see the kitchen and they give you a menu of your food with a cute header to bring back as a souvenir. they also are really helpful with picking out the cloth colors and textures and helping tie your vision with the rest of the decor!
The only snag I think we hit was the staff coordinating timing bringing out dinner as it seemed to take awhile to come out, and setting out the favors in time. But honestly it wasn't that big of a deal. I would highly recommend them as your wedding caterer, as the value is great and the food is so amazing! And the staff are so helpful throughout the planning process!
Feastivities and Caroline were amazing! They catered my wedding at Greystone Hall and I received so many compliments on the food and the service! It was a delight to work with them and they made my day absolutely perfect! Highly recommend them! Our guests said it was the best appetizers they have ever had and could not get over how much food there was! The tasting was amazing! So many people told me that both the salmon and beef short ribs were the best they ever had!!!! Caroline was such a lovely person and made my day so magical and stress free!!!!! I can’t say enough good things!
We worked with Jim from Offshoots Floral and Decor and I can't say enough good things. He was so fun to work with and designed a romantic and festive ceremony, ballroom, and personal flowers for us. I was so impressed by his work and how great everything looked!
Jim from OffShoots! is so talented, enthusiastic, personable, and honest, and was respectful of our budget. He does not rush you and he really listens to you and your ideas before he comes up with suggestions. His process is a collaborative one whether you have set ideas or you do not really know what you want. He is open to continuing to modify ideas to meet and exceed your vision and expectations. His designs and flower combinations are original, beautiful, and fresh.
I use leg braces and crutches. The cascading bouquet he thoughtfully designed for me was so pretty and lush and perfect for me to be able to carry down the aisle.
We could not have been any happier with the designs and arrangements he created for our wedding.
He was also very accommodating working with us as we had to change our wedding date more than once due to Covid-19.
He is a real talent and a pleasure to work with.
The Feastivities team did a wonderful job catering our wedding reception! It was a pleasure working with both Chef Andy and Bernice. They were very accommodating and open to every idea we had. Bernice was so helpful in organizing the evening that it almost felt like I had a wedding planner! They even assigned us a “shadow” to make sure my husband and I didn’t go hungry in all the post wedding excitement. Our guests loved the quality and variety of food. The hors d'oeuvres and taco station especially were a hit!
I highly recommend Feastivities to cater your next event. Bernice was absolutely incredible. Our first phone call dove into our backgrounds and childhood memories to curate a menu that really screamed "this is us!" Then our tasting was incredible. They were open and excited to incorporate our suggestions for tweaking the tiniest of details. Finally, on day of everything was stunning. Our guests cannot stop talking about how everything tasted amazing and looked gorgeous. We are so happy that we booked with Feastivities and would highly recommend them to others.
We hired feastivities for our wedding before we knew we would have to cut it down. Caroline worked with us to get in our budget and then reworked the menu when we had to cut our guest list. The food at the wedding was phenomenal!! Everyone raved about it and still talks about it! We had our own server so we did not go hungry or without a drink in our hands. Highly recommend
If you want good food, great staff, and an amazing time at your venue, then Feastivities Catering is your choice. Owen Hutchison was our contact from the beginning, and it was clear that we chose well. Owen satisfied all of our needs, promptly answered our questions and saw the entire event through from beginning to end. My wife and I cannot say enough positive things about the experience and highly recommend Owen and Feastivities to anyone that wants a quality caterer with amazing food.
We were so happy that we went with Feastivities Events for our wedding! Caroline was amazing and so helpful throughout the entire planning process. The waitstaff was wonderful and our “shadow” Nicole was so nice and made sure we were taken care of the entire night. Our food was delicious and everything was wonderful from start to finish! Thank you Caroline and the entire Team at Feastivities!
Feastivities was the exclusive caterer for our venue, and they were great! We worked primarily with Jessica until a few weeks before the wedding, when Bernice took over our case. In all of our interactions with them leading up to the wedding, they were very friendly and professional. Despite the change in coordinator, they didn't miss a beat, and all of the food came out exactly as we discussed. The food was delicious! We got complements on the hors d'oeuvres. The only hiccup is that they messed up the beer selection. Despite that, we feel the quality of the food was appropriate for the price.
Bernice also served as our venue coordinator for the day of. She did a great job helping to stage-manage and set up the ceremony.
100 percent would hire Feastivities again.
Owen and his team did an excellent job from start to finish. From guiding us through our menu options, to a wonderful tasting, and most importantly, a perfect wedding event at Thousand Acre Farm. We couldn't have asked for a better liaison nor a better team to feed our very hungry wedding guests!
We received countless compliments on not only the food but the attentiveness and friendliness of the catering staff. Feastivities, Owen and the team deserve an A+! I would highly recommend!
Feastivities is the way to go! Lauren was our Coordinator and we could not have had anyone better. She made sure everything turned out perfect and it did! You know by the service, food and decor that the team at Feastivities does more than put together your wedding. They get to know you as a couple and make you feel one of a kind. When we first saw the reception I couldn't believe it was my wedding, it was more than I ever hoped for and it was because of Lauren and the team. If I could give a 10 star rating, I would. <3
If you’re looking for delicious food with exceptional white glove service, as well as a coordinator who will work tirelessly to make sure the day is absolutely perfect for you, your search stops here. My husband and I got married in October and we truly could not have chosen a better catering team. We knew early on that we were in good hands with Bernice and her team. From our first consultation to our tasting (and linen selection 8 months prior to our wedding day), and from our menu adjustments a few months out to our actual wedding day, we had exceptional service throughout the entire process. My husband and I, as well as my parents, are big foodies and we loved how Bernice and her team not only gave us great suggestions but also allowed us to truly customize our menu and make it ours. We loved that flexibility! We had some guests with specific dietary restrictions, which Feastivities accommodated for perfectly and created a custom plate for each one of them. On our wedding day, Feastivities truly delivered with incredible food and flawless service. And Bernice provided great guidance to all the other vendors at the venue. My husband and I were also so impressed with how, when we say down for dinner, how a server came up to me to tell me that she was “the bride’s personal server.” Talk about service! Thank you Bernice and the Feastivities team for making our day perfect.
We had our wedding at Stotesbury Mansion on October 12, 2018 with Feastivities as the caterer and LOVED it! We had friends who got married there last year and that's how we became aware of the venue. I passed it many times before that without knowing what a gem was on the inside. Stotesbury is a 5-story mansion, 3 stories of which you get access to when you have an event there! The bottom floor has a foyer, front room, and ballroom. The ballroom is where our ceremony and dining during the reception took place. The 2nd floor has a bathroom and the library where the second bar and our photo booth was set up. The 3rd floor has the bridal suite with a second bathroom and a billiards room. We had 60 guests for a sit down/buffet dinner, but the space can accommodate up to 120 I believe if you prefer "performance station" dining over assigned seats at tables.
Ryan, the bar manager at Stotesbury and Owen, our catering manager and day of event manager from Feastivities were both super accommodating. We had only 3 months to plan our event and both of them were quick to respond to calls and emails and to set up meetings. Feastivities is the required caterer for Stotesbury and for us, this was just fine! We loved our tasting and all of our guests were very impressed with the food. The space is so amazing- we utilized all 3 floors and the guests kept going on about it. It's also beautiful so it doesn't take much to dress the place up.
I've seen previous reviews about things being disorganized at Feastivities. This was not our experience at all. We had Owen from the start of the process to the finish. He was there for the event and stayed to the end, going above and beyond to make sure our experience was positive and his staff were kind and helpful. I would highly recommend Stotesbury and Feastivities!
I wish I didn't even have to leave a star on here. Beyond upset with this unprofessional company. I regrettably hired them for my wedding and after over a year of planning, you would think at least one thing would go correct the day of. I had put so much time, effort, and money (for it not to show at all) in order to make my day special & they lacked in every aspect from beginning to end. I had given them the benefit of the doubt from the beginning but I wish I went with my gut feeling and all the other negative reviews on here because they are so true.
I called to speak to a manager and detailed everything that had went wrong and what do you know, they blamed my other vendors. Mind you, I spent hours planning a whole itinerary in person two weeks before the wedding.. parent dances, bouquet toss, garter toss were never done.. I had to pay my videographer extra to stay for the cake cutting (which no one even showed up to because they weren't told) because apparently nothing went according to the itinerary my DJ received from them, which I was not informed about. My "signature drink" table was a dollar store pitcher at the bar, the decorations and candles I had brought in were still in bins and unused at the end of my wedding. As far as food goes - it is embarrassing that family members came up to me after the wedding to tell me that there were hungry because there wasn't enough food. I bought tall centerpieces from my florist and since feastivities showed up an hour late (which I was called a liar about but yet, I have proof) my florist left.. feastivities filled up the bottom of the 24 inch vases and wondered why the wind blew them over and they broke during cocktail hour.. the manager tells me that is my florists' problem and they should have stayed to set up and that I should be grateful that they even put them on the table. These are things I can never get back and the manager has the audacity to raise his voice because I was upset and claims his "company" did nothing wrong when he wasn't even there. What a way to treat a client that brought you in thousands of dollars that didn't even show for it.
Feastivities Events was our caterer of choice for our wedding at Greystone. Bernice was our event producer and she was absolutely amazing. I couldn't have put together the wedding without her. There were few parts of the whole day that Bernice didn't help out with. Truly more than I ever expected. In addition to all of her help, the food was absolutely amazing! We had several guests rave that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. After our tasting, I knew that I needed to eat more of our passed appetizers on the actual day (they really were that good!). Bernice made sure we had a tray of food near us at all times during pictures, as well as someone to make sure we always had a drink. There also was more serving staff with Feastivities than any caterer that we looked into. This was important to us since we didn't want people waiting forever for their food! Dinner was served quickly and people were out dancing in now time. Another thing I noticed was that more people ate the desserts since feastivities had servers moving throughout the estate with slices of cake and their adorable mini ice cream cones. Everything was so perfect and beyond what I ever thought it could be! Our wedding of over 200 people went off flawlessly and I honestly cannot rave enough!
Everyone commented on how incredible the food was the entire night! They went above and beyond to ensure that the food was tailored to our guests and our likes. Also with Feastivities came Jessica, who was amazing in guiding us through the process, answering dozens of emails daily and helping us organize everything. But more than that, on the rehearsal and the big day, Jessica went ABOVE AND BEYOND to manage a large and boisterous family all while ensuring that I as the bride had no idea that anything was amiss. She was awesome and kept everything and everyone where they were supposed to be at each step of the way.
We were so thrilled to work with the team from Feastivities Events. Bernice was fantastic from the very first phone call, all the way until the post-wedding supply pickup. As a catering manager AND a day-of coordinator, she was always extremely organized, kind, and on top of her game. Olivia was also wonderful. They both made us feel very relaxed on the day itself, because we knew they had it more than covered. Plus, the food was FANTASTIC. People raved, that’s all there is to it.
If you’re also looking for a florist / decorator, Feastivities’ sister company, OffShoots, is also incredible. And having the two in the same place makes planning and coordinating so much easier - again because of how awesome Bernice and her team are! Definitely check them out!
Hiring Feastivities was the most regrettable and costly decision we have ever made. Instead of taking responsibility for an embarrassing list of mistakes they made at our wedding- including those related to food safety and dietary restrictions- the person in the highest position there blamed us, our guests, and our wedding planner. After much pushing, they offered to refund a mere 2% of the thousands of dollars we gave them- but only if we signed a non-disclosure agreement giving up our 1st amendment rights such that we would never discuss our experience...That right there tells you something.
We shouldn't share the tremendous stress right before our wedding when we saw their final supply order would have left us without the proper number of tables, linens, dishes, and the correct linen colors to match our event? It was not insignificant that we scrambled when twenty vegetarian guests were almost served fish sauce? What about our kosher guests who were served milk and meat together? How about grilled chicken skewers tasting pungent from artichoke brine when fresh produce wasn't used...mushrooms marinating way too long in balsamic vinegar that were mushy and acidic? People putting their hands down vases filled with vegetables because the correct number of utensils were not brought...tables looking empty in spite of thousands of dollars of flowers because the proper dishware wasn't ordered or set... dinner being served an hour late, pushing off the schedule of all of our hourly vendors? The list goes on and on- and we were blamed for all of it except the table setting.
We have never been treated so rudely by any business owner- ever. Do not eat your heart out giving tens of thousands of dollars to a caterer that will leave you embarrassed and your guests sick. Please choose another caterer who appreciates your business, your wedding, and your hard-earned dollar.
My husband and I got married on September 23, 2017 at Greystone Hall in West Chester, PA. We heard about Feastivities through Greystone's preferred vendors list and went with them after we booked Greystone. We could not be happier with our choice of caterer/event planner!!
Service:
I did not have a wedding planner which made me a little anxious about everything, but as soon as I met Bernice (one of the producer's on their team) I knew I could trust her to help everything come together smoothly for our big day. Bernice and her team are SO experienced, true experts in the wedding industry and were incredibly helpful in answering any and all questions I had about our wedding day. From the minute we met Bernice at Greystone's open house, we could not believe the amount of knowledge and experience she held from her experience in managing weddings and events. From our initial meeting, to our proposal, to the tasting, our walk through and the days leading up to the big event, Bernice was so approachable, kind and knowledgeable. She made the whole family feel at ease.
Food:
My husband and I say to this day that our tasting with Feastivities was by far our favorite part of the wedding planning. The team welcomed, me, my husband and parents to their Roxborough facility where they went through each and every dish that would be served at our wedding. It was SO much fun and the food was absolutely incredible. My husband is a huge fan of philly cheesteaks and i am a fan of apple crisp so they even tailored the appetizer and dessert choices to include these. Everyone who attended our wedding reception RAVED about the food. We had 13 hors devours , a ceasar salad served in an asiago cheese bowl, pan seared snapper, filet, apple crisp, cake made by Bredenbeck's, coffee/tea, salted caramel truffles and the presentation of every one of them was awesome. It was so delicious and combined with their service - made for an incredible experience for our guests.
The Big Day:
Where we were most impressed with Feastivities is how professionally they handled our event. All servers wore black from head to toe and served each course in coordinated precision, each plate was served by a different server and placed at the same time for each table - it was truly beautiful and they made it look effortless. Bernice was there for the entire event, helping to make sure everything went smoothly. She informed us about things we needed to be informed about and handled everything else with her team, so we did not have to worry.
We could not be happier with our experience with Feastivities - if you're looking for a caterer look no further. They are true experts and will make you feel at ease the minute you meet them.
Thanks so much, Bernice!!!
I cannot even begin to say enough about how amazing the staff over at Feastivities is, specifically Doug and his team, who helped make our wedding at the Arts Ballroom better than we could have ever imagined. From the second we started working with this company, it was a great experience. Their professionalism, organization, and friendliness really sets them apart from other companies. They really cannot do enough for you and are so helpful and flexible. Each time we met with them was always something to look forward to! The food was just simply amazing. Such a variety, so many options, presentation was beautiful, and tasted even better! From the setup of the venue, the organization of events of the day, the flawless dinner timing, and everything in between, they really are the best of the best. I could go on and on, but seriously, take it from someone who researched just about every vendor out there: BOOK FEASTIVITIES.
Working with Elizabeth was an absolute pleasure. Everything about the wedding, from the planning to the wedding day itself was a great experience. The food and presentation was flawless. Elizabeth helped us figure out everything from allergy specific options to alcohol quantities! I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
Very happy with Feastivities and our wedding at Stotesbury Mansion. Thank you to all the staff. My Mom said it was the best wedding she had ever been to (but she can be a little biased)! Overall, it was an amazing experience. Thanks again!
We really enjoyed our experience with Feastivities. Hannah and Annie were a pleasure to work with, very responsive, and had great recommendations. We were aiming for something a bit non-traditional -- more of a party vibe -- and they nailed it with the stations, food carts, cocktail hour, etc. The food was excellent -- lots of compliments there. I only wish I took the time to eat more of it!
Working with the Feastivities team, to plan our wedding with The Stotesbury Mansion was a very enjoyable experience. Hannah was always helpful, willing to answer our questions and responded to us in a timely manner. Her team took care of anything and everything that I can think of for our special day and coordinated with many of our outside vendors (floral, DJ, etc.). The food, drinks, and service was simply amazing. I would not hesitate to recommend or use them again in the future. Thank you so much for making our favorite day so easy and special.
I cannot thank Feastivities enough for truly excelling at our wedding reception held in the Stotesbury mansion (September 2016). The chef mastered the Piedmontese affair I envisioned, including my request for 'baci di dama' (traditional hazelnut cookies filled with dark chocolate from nonna's region) that turned out not only authentic but also scrumptious! I was really impressed. The Chilean, Mid-Atlantic, and French Canadian details resulted perfect as well! Italian wedding receptions are all about food, so I loved Feastivities' personalized approach to designing the whole menu, with a result that was unbelievable and guests raved about. Working with Karen first, then with Hannah and her team (Owen and Antoinette) was a pleasure. (Thank you!!!) You don't even need a wedding planner with all the attention and thought that Feastivities puts into your wedding. Everyone is incredibly professional and at the same time you feel it is friends who are helping you with every special detail (well beyond just catering). Finally we wanted to say that Janine was an absolute sweetheart during the whole reception, making sure that we had everything we needed, including samples of all the cocktail-hour hors d'œuvres and the different layers of the cake. Choosing Feastivities will be the best decision for your wedding!
Absolutely delicious, everyone raved about how amazing our food was. The mashed potato bar was a big hit for our cocktail hour and the filet mignon was extremely juicy. We had late night cheesesteaks and fries, which my fiance loved, which is a big deal considering he's a snob when it comes to cheesesteaks.
After using Festivities for our wedding at the Stotesbury Mansion in Philadelphia this past September, I cannot say enough good things about them. We worked specifically with Hannah, who helped us along every step of the way, and I attribute all of her expertise and assistance throughout the entire process to making our special day feel so memorable and so personalized. Festivities made sure that both of us felt comfortable with everything that was being decided on in each step of the planning process, from the tasting menu, down to our signature cocktails served at the reception. Almost every single guest we've talked to afterwards couldn't stop raving about the wedding, and more specifically about how great the quality the food was, especially with an event with 100 people. I would absolutely choose to book Festivities again!
Everyone at feastivities was wonderful to work with. The food was delicious & the staff on our wedding day were attentive & so nice! All our guests raved about the food & loved how we didn't do the usual sit down dinner. It was wonderful to work with Feastivities!
Overall, Feastivities was a good caterer. Our event went off without any major problems, the food tasted good, and they were kind and helpful throughout the planning process. My favorite part is that they did a lot of organization and coordinating with other vendors, which made a wedding planner more or less unnecessary.
The downside is that we were surprised by their staff turnover--in the 10 months between when we signed the contract and when we had our wedding, we changed event managers three times, which created some confusion. One person booked us but left the company before our tasting, one person ran our tasting but left the company before our planning meeting, one person ran our planning meeting but left the company before our wedding--it all worked out and we ended up with someone very sweet on our wedding day, but it was pretty annoying how many times we were shuffled around, especially since we booked Feastivities because our venue had specifically recommended the event manager who left after we booked.
Here's the run-down on their process:
1-You sign a contract with them.
2-You schedule a tasting with them. Again, I'm not sure if it was our staff turnover issue or just the way it works, but you should reach out to them about this; they won't reach out to you.
3-The tasting is DELICIOUS, and bring another couple because they bring you all of the meal selections and it is too much for two people.
4-You fill out an event questionnaire around three months before the wedding. They used a form in Microsoft Word to make the template which is awful to work with and format, so I ended up having to delete the form and just copy and paste the questions into a fresh document.
5-You schedule a planning meeting no more than three months before your wedding. They may give you a nudge on this, but again, if you have limited availability make sure you initiate and reach out early to schedule. I'd also recommend doing the planning meeting closer to the wedding. We did ours around the ten-week mark, which worked best with our work schedules, but then our event manager got changed closer to the wedding, and I think our day-of flow would have been better if we had planned with the person we were actually going to have with us on the day of the wedding.
6-You talk on the phone a week or so before the wedding.
7-You get married!
8-Throughout this whole process, you're making payments as you go. They didn't invoice us for individual payments, which made it harder to organize. I would have loved it if they'd told us ahead of time that we wouldn't be invoiced so I could set up a Google Calendar alert for each payment. Also, review each contract carefully: when we got the updated contract with the final meal selections included ten days before the wedding, it was quite a bit higher than what we'd been quoted in our original contract. I wrote to them and they were super-nice about fixing the discrepency (again, I think a vestige of the staff turn-over), but it definitely pays to actually read the final contract line by line at the ten-day mark.
All in all we were very happy with our wedding!
I worked with Hannah Dann to plan my sons rehearsal dinner. I didnt want the normal three course menu, but suggested a custom created 7 course tasting menu paired with wines. Wow! did they exceed my expectations!! Hannah helped me select an impressive vintage and contemporary table top and put me in touch with off shoots for flowers. she organized musicians for pre and during dinner. I can not share how easy and creative this company is to work with. The staff was trained in formal service and were also amazing. This was an impressive dinner party for 34, and I have nothing but my highest accolades for Hannah and her team!
Bernice and her team have been amazing with the catering/planning of our wedding! They are truly professional and have every detail covered! The food is AMAZING and presented so beautifully.
Feastivities did a fantastic job on our wedding at Stotesbury Mansion (March 2016). We worked with Karen most of the time and then Bernice. Both ladies were quick to respond, detailed, and absolutely wonderful. They were always working for and with us.
The food tasting was intimate and fantastic. If Feastivities weren’t already a frontrunner, the food tasting would have sent them to the top of the list. Great options and everything was delicious.
Leading up to the wedding, we must have sent a million questions and Karen or Bernice always got back to us quickly. Even in the last week, there were last minute additions and Feastivities was flexible and easy to work with.
On the wedding day, everything looked great. Jill, the event manager, was wonderful to work with and Bernice was also there for a few hours to oversee things. They were always within reach making sure everything was perfect and on time. The whole staff was very nice. They were also flexible with us having a tea ceremony first and performers come in.
My husband and I received a private plate of hor d'oeuvres right after the ceremony and everything tasted great. I love the tuna hor d'oeuvre they had and will remember that for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I did hear from many guests that they didn’t get or see many hor d'oeuvre during cocktail hour. That was a bit of a bummer as the hor d'oeuvre were awesome.
The entrees were fantastic and many guests raved about their salmon and short rib entrees at and after the wedding. Also, the warm cookies and milk was amazing. I think cake was another thing some guests wish they had received – I know Feastivities doesn’t serve cake to every person because they don’t want to waste it since many will be dancing, but that’s a double-edge sword.
Overall, with Feastivities, you’re in great hands. The whole staff is on top of things and will go above and beyond to help you. The food is amazing and delicious. I would recommend them to anyone!
Bernice and Hannah were excellent with helping us prepare for our special day. Starting with our detailed initial meeting, to the generous and delicious tasting to decide on our full menu, to the main event that went off without fail, Feastivities was great! All of our guests LOVED the food.
We were married in mid May 2015 at The Washington at Yellow Springs. We cannot say enough great things about Feastivities. We had a relatively small wedding, but we always felt like we were just as important as their larger events. Food was the most important part of our wedding. We are both vegetarians and decided to have an all vegetarian wedding. We looked at a lot of caterers to create a menu that would ensure no one missed having meat, fish, or poultry. Feastivities was great to work with. They spent time getting to know us and even created a new recipe of black bean chocolate cupcakes with a salted caramel icing for one of our desserts- delicious! Bernice and her team were wonderful through the planning stages and the day of they did an amazing job helping to set up the venue. The food was incredible- it was beautifully presented, hot, and delicious. We received a ton of compliments- many guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. We would highly recommend Feastivities!
I actually didn't use the Knot website to plan my wedding but I felt the need to write a review on this caterer.I don't know where to start except everything was perfect. Our wedding planning started late so we were in a rush to get everything done but as soon as we stepped into their office and met with Bernice we felt comfortable and relieved. They even have a florist in house so we got all of our flowers there too. Everything was exactly the way it was planned and more so. From the food tasting to the end of the wedding was fantastic. We love how our guests are still raving about our wedding. Thank you Bernice and to Feastivities.
Feastivities was a HUGE help in our wedding planning! Our venue provided the bare minimum and Feastivities helped us figure out all the details and acted as our coordinator day of. We worked with Bernice who was wonderful, and so on top of things! The food was wonderful, and they provided many unique options! The service was friendly and professional. We also worked with Offshoots for our flowers and they did a phenomenal job!
Our wedding venue would only allow us to use Feastivities so I was nervous. Karen was our event coordinator and point person- every time I met with her or spoke to her, I felt better. She helped us with many other aspects of wedding planning and and prices were very transparent from the beginning. We had a cocktail style reception and everything was flawless. We had no problems with the catering or Feastivities staff. Our wedding was 2 months ago and we are still receiving compliments on the food! Karen is so easy to work with and felt more like a friend by our wedding day. I highly recommend Feastivities, especially if you are lucky enough to work with Karen!!!
Karen and the staff at Feastivities Events were fantastic to work with! Feastivities came highly recommended from a recently married friend, and they actually helped us find our venue. They were incredibly flexible and responsive when it came to planning the menu (including accounting for guests with eating restrictions and kids, and accommodating our seasonal requests), and they made figuring out the logistics of the event so much easier as well! The food was DELICIOUS (I wish I had sat down to eat more!), and the staff made sure the groom and I were well taken care of at all times. Moreover, during the lead-up, there were always helpful reminders (in the middle of the planning storm) that kept us on track for important deadlines. Thanks Karen!
I had three different event planners. Worse yet, my wedding planner was reassigned the day before my wedding. They planner that I worked with was not aware of half itinerary and then blamed everyone else for the problem. They tend to have this review removed when I ever I place it. Overall they were very disappointing.
We loved the food and appetizers and the artistic presentation painstakingly maintained on every dish. Bernice was excellent and we truly enjoyed working with her. The attention to detail was exquisite. Guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed the food.
Feastivities is the single element of our wedding that, when I look back, I know was the reason everything went so beautifully. Who knows how the evening would have unfolded if we went with a caterer that was not also masquerading as a five-star kitchen, wedding planner, day-of coordinator, juggler, and therapist. What a group - such talented, considerate, hard working, and dedicated people.
I want to thank Megan and Karen for the awesome job they did for my wedding. Megan kept in constant contact with me and answered my million and one questions. Everyone raved about how delicious the food was and as the bride the little bit that I got to sit down and shovel into my mouth was more than delicious. The girl that my husband and I had as our personal server was there for me every second of the night filling my glass even before I knew it was empty. The only complaint that I had was about one of our bar tenders. I got numerous complaints from my guests about how rude she was and the attitude she was giving everyone. She even gave an attitude to my husband when he asked for a glass of water for our 6 year old son. I know people have bad days and I hope that's all it was. The rest of the staff was great to work with and I thank them for making my day the best that I could ask for.
In a word, perfection.
Meredith and Dawn at Feastivities were amazing. They kept me sane and were so fun to work with. They kept pace with all my planning and executed everything perfectly. I really loved working with them.
The food was fantastic and totally customized to our wedding. Side note, they even decorated our tasting to match the theme of our wedding.
The girls really embraced our theme and were super enthusiastic and on the ball.
Wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer - can't emphasize that enough.
I would give them 10 stars if I could! They are so much more then caterers/they are also planners. Everything was perfect and I had not one worry the day of my wedding. They were always 2 steps ahead of me. Worth every cent!
Feastivities Catering was an absolutely fantastic vendor to work with. As many venues in PA allow you to bring in outside caterers and your own bar -- we saw this as an opportunity to really customize our wedding. We chose to have it at the FUEL House (now TRUST - on 3rd & Arch in Philadelphia) with the cocktail hour in Betsy Ross Courtyard.
Feastivities has worked this venue many times - which was incredibly helpful to have their inpur on what is a success - and yet worked hard to make it a unique experience just for us.
We had a guest list of 275, ultimately seating around 240. They worked with us to think about the menu that not only reflect our style but also accommodate that many people in the space we selected. We landed at family-style dining with braised short ribs, glazed sea bass and roasted chicken with delicious vegetable sides. It had something for everyone and people got to pick and choose. While our cocktail hour had worldy cuisines we loved, like salmon sashimi rolls, drunken figs in bacon and lamb kabobs.
The servers worked to make sure food ran quickly so there was more time for dancing. They absolutely do a wonderful job at making sure the bride and groom are taken care of the whole night so there's no need to worry. And somehow manage to wrap up the littlest details - like making sure the bride's veil gets home with a family member, etc.
Most importantly, their event planners go above and beyond the call of duty as caterers and really serve as a bargain wedding planner. They are cooperative, creative and cool. I could not have pulled off my wedding without my planner, Dawn. While Christopher, who produced the look and feel of the decor, made me absolutely cry with joy when I saw my reception venue.
On the whole, their catering skilss are paramount, current and creative. But their decorating and event planning staff make the experience for the bride and groom.
the team at Feastivities were beyond ON POINT. as a groop of foodies picking out the caterer for our event was one hell of a task. This catering company perfectly provides a bounty of choices each with delectable flavors. Cutting edge cuisine meets comfort food... a new spin on classics took our wedding dining to a whole new level... passed hos deouvres included Roasted butternut squash shooters with aged provolone and broccoli rabe mini paninis and spicy tuna sashimi cones... the dinner was perfection not a dry peice of fish or chicken in the house with accompaniments that were perfect. The overly attentive service and detail oriented staff made the planning and follow through of this event a dream. Not once did i have to wonder where or when it was rolled out in perfect harmony and with style and poise. Dan Hoch my event coordinator went above and beyond and crossed every T , dotted every lower case I and J with ease and care. If youa re in Philly youw ould be a FOOL to not Budget for this team they are worth every penny i would pay them double!!!!!
my wedding planned, wasn't really a wedding planner, she was the owner of feastivities catering, meryl snow...and she helped me plan my entire day, although, i booked all of my vendors separately. she worked with them in getting everything together and running my day the way i wanted. she was great! there was no extra cost at all...it was included in my catering bill
