J. Scott Catering

up of items the next morning. Karen was on the ball with details regarding our day of timeline, selections leading up to the wedding, and small things to consider that would add an extra flare or maximization of time on our special day. 10/10 would recommend!

enough great things about the venue and J Scott staff. Ellen was our planner leading up to, and day of the wedding. She did a wonderful job at keeping us on track with our planning, as well as making sure both the rehearsal and wedding day went off without a hitch. Paul was absolutely amazing the day of to make sure the groom and I always had a fresh drink, and that we were enjoying the food. Speaking of food, we had so many guests tell us that was some of the best food they've ever had. The Lo Mein bar was a HUGE hit, we are still hearing about it almost a month later! The bartenders and servers were absolutely amazing, there was never a long line at any of the bars between both cocktail hour and the reception. If I could do all over again I wouldn't change one thing.

ly Sheller was absolutely amazing. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and made sure our special day ran so smoothly!

helpful in setting up our personal details, as well.

cative and made sure our special day was exactly what we wanted. Every detail of the event was perfect and everyone raved about the food - thank you so much to Cathy and the entire team for delivering the perfect day/night!

exceeded. Best food I have ever had at any wedding - 5 start. Thank you!

antly worse than what we were served at the tasting. The average rating from family/friends that we asked was 4/10. 2) The chicken entrée was a completely different dish from what we selected. We selected "garlic crusted chicken with grilled artichokes in a rosemary jus". At the tasting - it had a phenomenal crispy bread-crumb like crust and was delicious - 9.5/10. At the event, we were served tender, but somewhat soggy sous vide chicken with a weird hot sauce (4/10). Absolutely no garlic crust, artichokes, or rosemary jus in site. We ended up having to apologize to a lot of our guests because we had talked up the chicken dish and told them it was better than the steak. It was embarrassing. 3) We brought these issues to J Scott's attention the day after the wedding. Two weeks later we received a response from management saying that all of the food was perfect and insinuating that we were misremembering what we were served at the tasting. This is classic gaslighting behavior and was really disappointing to see. Especially given how obvious the error in the chicken dish was since it contained almost none of the ingredients in the description (and no crust). The Good: Everything else. The planner (Charlotte), and the cheesesteak truck were especially good. The Verdict: I was fully prepared to give J Scott the benefit of the doubt on the food, given that our Wedding was one of the first weddings post-Covid and I'm sure they had some internal personnel turnover. If the response from management was less ridiculous and insulting I may have still given J Scott 4 stars; however, I can't excuse poor food AND gaslighting - especially given the prices they're charging - 4/10 food just isn't acceptable. And gaslighting is even less acceptable. I wouldn't recommend J Scott to others.

d it too. As the couple, we obviously had a lot to do but at our sweet heart table they setup all the appetizers and stationary food we weren't able to enjoy during cocktail hour for us so we didn't miss out - a huge plus because it was all so delicious. Great wait staff and very professional team members. Couldn't recommend them more. The chicken and waffle hors d'oeuvres were one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life.

hroughout the night about how good the food tasted. This caterer absolutely nails it with food and presentation of food.

nal protective equipment and procedures making everyone feeling 100% completely safe and very secure amidst this pandemic era. J. Scott and his team catered our wedding reception at our house. Unbelievable antipasti appetizer spread of the finest Italian meats, cheeses, spreads, salads, bacon wrapped scallops, etc. The dinner of filet mignon, mahi mahi, salads, vegetable medley and pasta selections, were beautiful and delicious. My husband and I had very high expectations and we were not disappointed. J. Scott honestly exceeded our standards which rarely occurs. The food was absolutely delicious and the professionalism of the catering staff was everything we hoped it would be. It was worth every penny! We are looking forward to using this caterer again....on our one year anniversary! Thank you so much Scott for your attention to detail and commitment to excellence. You deserve every compliment in this review, you earned it. You made our very special wedding day even more special!

Farm. Rachel went above and beyond in her planning and communication to make sure our day turned out just as we wanted. Rachel was very organized and supportive in helping to make decisions for our special day. Rachel made the entire process easy for us and set up everything to run smoothly the day of! The food was amazing. Our guests are still raving about how we had the best food by far from any wedding! We are beyond thrilled with J. Scott Catering and highly recommend.

at our venue. It was wonderful and every guest loved their food.

l, keeping us informed and being flexible given everything going on with COVID. Rachel did everything she could to ensure that our day was as normal and perfect as possible, and it really was wonderful. The staff at J Scott Catering was also great during the reception, our guests had nothing but kind things to say about the food and bar service! I would highly recommend Radnor Hunt and J Scott Catering.

helpful along the way, but during this difficult decision, she not only listened to our concerns, but worked with us and went above & beyond to help us keep the wedding we worked so hard to plan. We highly recommend Rachel and J Scott Catering!

r questions along the way, putting us at ease knowing our wedding will happen exactly how we’ve envisioned it. Having your wedding at Springton Manor will enable you to know that regardless of what is going on in the world you have people on your side who want to give you the wedding of your dreams, and they are supportive in all of your decision making. From the beginning of our planning process to now both Scott and Rachel have been extremely easy to work with and we are at ease with putting our wedding day in their hands. Every bride should have a coordinator like Rachel who is always demonstrating calmness, and ease in her words. Rachel was excited and beyond flexible to accommodate all our requests. Every call with the J Scott Catering team has given my fiancé and I full trust in them and we can’t wait to dance the night away in their breathtaking venue and enjoy all the AMAZING amenities they have to offer.

have been so accommodating every step of the way. Every phone call has left me feeling at ease, and I completely trust J. Scott with our wedding. They are very professional, supportive and understanding. We have told them countless times how much their support, flexibility and calm demeanor has helped us with this rather crazy and anxiety provoking situation, and they always respond by asking if there is anything else that they can do for us. This is the kind of vendor you want on your side when planning your wedding! Also, we wanted to give a shout out to Rachel! She is 1000% making this process smoother and is always on the ball. She is professional and knowledgable about all things wedding, and truly cares about how we are doing with this situation. We feel very lucky to work with her, and very grateful that we chose J. Scott!

ep of the way. She told us that on my wedding day that we would enter as guests and leave as guests, and wouldn’t have to worry about anything that day and she was 100% right, that’s exactly how I felt. I had lots of ideas that I wanted to incorporate into the ceremony and reception and Rachel helped me organize and get me prices from her suppliers very quickly. She was incredibly responsive and helped me keep on track during the planning process. But in the weeks leading up to the wedding she sent detailed time lines and floor plans for me to review and modify as I wanted. The venue and the caterer were both very flexible. On the day of, Rachel and her assistant Charlotte were there to make sure everything was set up, that the ceremony and reception ran smoothly, and that my husband and I had everything we needed! The whole experience with J.Scott catering was fabulous. Rachel invited us to an open house a few weeks before our food tasting so we had an opportunity to taste a few more items than we would have at our tasting. The menu of appetizer and entrée choices is quite extensive and it was hard to make our final choices – but everything was fantastic. Our guests particularly raved about the cheese board appetizers. The only small issue was that we only provided champagne for the toasts for our parents tables and the champagne was missing from one of the tables, but I was able to alert a sever and the staff very quickly and discreetly provided champagne to the correct table. I think the thing that speaks the most about our experience with Rachel & J.Scott at the Foundry was my dad, who was skeptical that a day-of coordinator was necessary, said “Thanks goodness for Rachel! We couldn’t have done this without her.” So thank you, Rachel, for making the day perfect for us and for my parents!

t have enough space in this text box to explain how amazing Rachel was as our wedding coordinator...she was incredibly sweet, organized, and very thoughtful throughout our entire wedding process. Thank you Rachel for all the time you put into making our wedding day a dream! We could not be happier with our experience with JScott. The food was amazing-from the passed appetizers, to the stations, to the main meal...everything was delicious!

assisted in making a detailed timeline, set up decorations we had and kept everything on track day off! Her team is very professional and our guests were so impressed by them! She kept us informed at the reception of what was happening next without updating us too much as well. J. Scott and Rachel were a HUGE part in making our wedding day better than our wildest dreams. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

thing was easy and effortless. Our planner, Ashley, was fantastic! The food was amazing!! I cannot recommend J. Scott enough!

m the appetizers, various food stations and the main event. With three Main Course selections, everyone at my table was "sharing" a bite so everyone could experience the deliciousness!

best! She took care of things I didn’t even know I needed taken care of! Amazing food, tons of linens to choose from, and so much more. The process was SO much fun. I never felt an ounce of stress. Service the day of was spot on. Every guest I spoke with afterwards told me that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been too, and we have some tough critics!! I cannot say enough about this experience. So so amazing! Thank you :)

and the rest of the J Scott team, my vision for our wedding and reception was brought to life! Service was excellent, with my husband and I having our own personal attendants bringing us fresh drinks and food, making sure we were taken care of all night! The food was delicious and I can say that our family and friends also raved about the quality of the food and the service they had! I loved working with Megan and J Scott catering and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for excellent service and delicious food that you and your guests will love!

ng. From initial meeting and detailed planning process through the final stressful stages of ensuring every detail was handled effectively, every weather contingency in place and the entire event was a success, this organization is led by an inspiring and energizing entrepreneur who encourages an equally talented team of professionals. These individuals include Rachel, Jessica, and Charlotte backed up by an exceptional group of servers, bartenders, and chefs that will support any event as if it were their own family affair. Easy to work with, flexible, accommodating, remarkable, ideal, outstanding, sincere, knowledgeable, and hard-working are all adjectives you will become familiar with while working with J. Scott Catering. Oh, and the food, one word.....Amazing. From the delicious appetizers to the rich ravioli, tender beef, mouthwatering crabcakes and everything in between, our 200 guests said it en masse- Fantastic event!! Thank you to the entire J. Scott Catering organization for a perfect wedding and best wishes for continued success.

way by how organized everything was. Every little detail I mentioned to her she made sure I had everything I wanted and more. She was so pleasant and easy to work with, she felt like family! J. Scott Catering does it right, presentation of food is excellent, quality and taste is amazing, we received so many compliments on the food from our wedding!

m at J.Scott was. Her care and compassion towards not only the catering aspect of our day but every little detail beyond that was more than we could have ever hoped for in the planning process. Working with J.Scott gives you the opportunity to completely customize your vision where no request is too large and no detail is left untouched. Our guests still have not stopped raving about how amazing the food and entire display was. We will definitely be returning to them for our future catering needs and we can't thank Rachel enough for helping us create our perfect day.

and most importantly patient. She walked us through the entire reception process and was always available to lend advice when needed. Not having a planner made it a little nerve-wracking but Rachel was all over it for us and in the end, the reception could not have gone more smoothly. The vibe we wanted was elegant and fun but not ostentatious, and Rachel nailed it. We also let her know that we weren't looking for the standard cookie cutter reception menu, so she helped us think outside the box, ultimately landing on a menu our guests are still talking about. There are a lot of moving parts and micromanaging when you're planning a wedding. Working with J. Scott gave us confidence that one of the more stressful parts of the planning process was being taken care at a standard that exceeded our expectations. Having that weight off your shoulders is huge. To sum it up: the people were great, the drinks were always cold and the food was phenomenal.

uestions throughout the process. Everything from the tasting, to the pre planning, to the day of went wonderfully. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour apps and dinner selections!

were blown away by the grounds. Everywhere you look, the view is spectacular. Given that my husband and I both grew up in Chester County, we also loved how the venue reminded us of home. I always dreamed of an outdoor wedding, and I was sold once Scott showed us the bride’s entrance from the Manor House down to the Linden Tree. We planned our wedding in less than a year, and our team at J Scott made the process smooth, efficient, and fun. They brought our vision to life and accommodated all of our unique requests (e.g., allowing an ice cream truck from my graduate program, providing oranges for our Aperol Spritz signature cocktail). We continue to hear comments and receive messages from our friends and family describing our wedding as “spectacular”, “phenomenal”, and “incredible”. The food was delicious, and service was amazing. The Manor House’s bridal suite was also a convenient and spacious spot for our large bridal party to get ready and relax in prior to the ceremony. Our coordinator, Rachel Brown, was an absolute pleasure to work with the day of and the year leading up to our wedding. She was incredibly responsive, creative, flexible, detail-oriented, and generous with her time. Rachel held our tasting on the day of a snowstorm because my mother-in-law flew in from Wisconsin, made sure any leftover cheesesteaks, donuts, and cake were packaged up for my family, referred us to a new furniture rental company after our initial choice was booked, made sure we were served appetizers and drinks during our cocktail hour so we could mingle with guests and take photos, and single-handedly ran our rehearsal (with a 17 person wedding party) when our Pastor wasn’t able to attend. I will never forget how at the end of the night when we had a stressful situation with our transportation company, and Rachel handled it with such grace and tact…all in the presence of our drunk best man who was eating cheesesteaks and confessing to some “non-truths” in his toast. These are just a few examples of how she and the team at J Scott go above and beyond. Whenever there was a problem during the planning process or the day of, it felt like all we needed to do was tell Rachel and it was solved. We are forever thankful. While I cannot promise all couples the beautiful weather we received on our wedding day (I so wish I could!), I can promise that you will not regret getting married at Springton Manor Farm or choosing J Scott as your caterer.

p to the wedding. The food at the wedding was better than at the tasting. The food was good at the tasting but very good at the wedding. We received many compliments on the food, the service and the venue. I was a little nervous the week before the wedding and we had our walk through with Rachel at the venue and I realized that she would take care of everything on the day of the wedding and she managed the day beautifully. I highly recommend J. Scott, the Phoenixville Foundry and especially Rachel Brown for any event.

I worked with Megan Freeman of J.Scott Catering and she was amazing. She was very responsive and easy to work with. She helped me with all of the million questions I had and was always patient and accommodating with me. I had delivered a truck load of decorations on our rehearsal day and left explicit instructions on how everything should be displayed and her and her team did a wonderful job executing those. The venue looked absolutely immaculate and beautiful the day of my wedding. She ran the ceremony very smoothly and the entire day went down without a single hitch. If I had to find one single thing to complain about, I couldn't. Now, the food! The food was amazing! All of it! We had 6 butlered hors d'oeuvres and a macaroni and cheese station. We served the pan seared crab cake and the filet as our meal options and the butternut squash risotto as the vegetarian option. I didn't even get a chance to say hello to some of my guests because I was so focused on the opportunity to eat the food, and it did NOT disappoint. Our guests have not stopped buzzing about the food, more specifically the macaroni and cheese station and the mini California burgers. I have had guests tell me the crab cakes were unreal and the steak was amazing. She even worked with us on the steak because J.Scott traditional serves their steak rare and we had requested it be prepared medium, and it was prepared perfectly medium and every guest was thrilled with it. We also offered 2 different signature drinks, which everyone is also buzzing about. Several guests have told me it was either the nicest, the most fun, or just plain "the best" wedding they had ever been to. Our videographer told us our wedding was their favorite that they have been to this year. All of that is because of Megan, her team, and J.Scott Catering in general. I would recommend them to anyone. If I was given the choice to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing, and I would choose J.Scott over and over again. Thank you J.Scott!

harlotte. The team nailed it. Rachel did the legwork and Charlotte finished it. She was on top of everything and SO calm. Her presence was so calming and she was so attentive. We were so pleased with her professionalism and how she made everything go so smoothly. The food was delicious. Our meals were hot and the steak was cooked perfectly. It was actually a huge cut of meat and of course I barely ate half of it. So Charlotte had it packaged up to go without me asking. They also brought us out two trays of hor d’ourves to try since we missed cocktail hour doing pictures. They made sure we got to try everything. They also set up all of the centerpieces perfectly and listened to every request we had. It was truly the best day of our lives and that was due to Charlottes and the teams execution of the day making it so we just had to show up and enjoy our day because they really did take care of everything else. The food was delicious, the service was great and we HIGHLY recommend. You won’t be disappointed!

t I had and Megan Freeman who was our main planner was sharp, professional, and easy to work with. She has a ‘get it done’ attitude which was a relieve considering how much planning I was doing on my own! The day of the wedding, the team they brought was excellent. Everything we had specified was executed without flaw. My husband and I had our own personal attendant serving us appetizers and drinks so we could easily mingle with guests and get fed ourselves! The food was fantastic! After, we informally poled our friends and family and the feedback was that people though the food was excellent and loved attending a wedding where there was great food, drinks and music! I would highly recommend J. Scott for their level of professionalism, flexibility, organization, and most of all – good food and friendly / quality staff!

one and only venue that we looked at and booked on the spot. While the Foundry speaks for itself (the chandeliers, the bridge, the huge space) the team that we had leading up to and on the day of the wedding are what made the day perfect. Our coordinator Rachel handled everything with such efficiency and ease. She is the perfect mix of organized, assertive, sweet and open minded. My husband and I really wanted a "party" feel and decided to do food stations rather than a formal sit down so people could eat, dance and drink as they pleased. I had never been to a wedding with that kind of setup but Rachel assured me that my vision would come to life and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, there was never a wait for a drink and the servers were constantly making sure that my guests were happy. I can't tell you how many compliments we received regarding the beautiful venue and outstanding team. We could not be more pleased with our wedding day!!

t the day came together flawlessly and I was the only one who knew. All the guest raves about the food and had a great time. We hauled in a ton of diy decor and i didn’t have to worry about a thing.

From the individualized tasting session to the final walk thru of the venue, Ariana and Tessa really let us take the reigns with what we wanted and gave us different ideas to enhance our experience. We added on the cheesesteak grill at the end of the night two weeks before the wedding and it was the best decision! Our guests are still raving about it :)

ives that it was absolutely the most magnificent affair that they had ever attended and we of course agree. Rachel was fantastic, she fielded every question and concern with absolute compassion and didn’t question the reasoning behind any special request she simply made it happen. From our first meeting with Scott to the loading of the truck at the end of the evening everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and proficiency. J. Scott Catering has exceeded our every expectation with regard to the planning the cost and the quality. The meal was exquisite, equivalent to something that you would expect from a Michelin rated restaurant, and the service was second to none. Needless to say we couldn’t be happier and when daughter #2 becomes the Bride to be we will be call J. Scott Catering and no-one else.

nd there were many!) they were always available to answer and offer good ideas and new perspectives. The food was incredible, and everyone at J Scott made sure every detail was ironed out leading up to the wedding, and made sure the wddding day ran smoothly and beautifully. We never would have been able to do it without their help. Thanks to everyone at J Scott, my wedding was a day we will treasure forever with the best memories. Thank you guys for all that you did!!

ice during dinner/cocktail hour exceeded our expectations! They made the venue look stunning and our guests had nothing but compliments. I would highly recommend J Scott. They were reasonably priced and well worth every penny. We are so greatful for this team!

re so helpful and great to work with. Their food is delicious - so fresh and high quality! We really can't recommend J. Scott any higher!

yton chose for their reception. We were a little nervous in trying to plan an event with an original guest list of 225 people, choosing a venue that needed some decorating and having to bring in our own alcohol. Scott Walsh and Rachel Brown, our coordinator made us feel very relaxed, confident and comfortable with all decisions needed to be made during the planning process. Rachel was AWESOME! Scott was GREAT! They met with us in person, over the phone or through email as often as we needed their advice or reassurance. They were approachable the entire 18 months that we worked with them. Rachel even met us at the Barn which is located out in Lancaster, PA when it was time for our final walk through. That meeting lasted nearly 2 hours! It was at that moment that I felt like she was treating us like family! Rachel worked closely with all of our vendors to make sure that everything was set up as Ashley and Clayton wished it to be. Also, she texted Ashley a couple hours before our cocktail hour to let her know how beautiful the Barn looked and to reassure her that J. Scott Catering was ready and waiting for our event to begin. Scott and Rachel greeted us with a warm welcome the moment we arrived. They made sure we were well taken care of the entire evening. They made us feel like Royals:)! The staff was very friendly, helpful and worked hard on a 97 degree day! The food was delicious and presented beautifully. The cocktail hour was fun! The Cheesesteak Grill at the end of the evening was a great surprise for all of our guests. In addition to all of that, Rachel and the staff helped organized a cookie bar that Ashley planned. We had about 20 guests or more bring cookies and Rachel made sure they were placed on trays and displayed for guests to enjoy. We are so grateful that J. Scott catering made our event a memorable one for all who attended. We appreciate everything you did for us! Thank you!

d our wedding day go as smoothly as possible, even with torrential rain in the forecast. Tessa helped get all of our wedding plans ironed out a week in advance so our wedding week was ours to enjoy. Our guests (both vegetarian and non) raved about the food, and we felt attended to all night, with a plate of extra appetizers or a drink never far from our reach. Moreover, J. Scott was respectful of our budget throughout and helped us to understand and anticipate costs throughout the planning process.

did not disappoint! Alicia worked very closely with us through multiple iterations of a customized menu which needed to accommodate several vegan and gluten free guests. She was available for countless meetings and was full of helpful suggestions. When she left for maternity leave, Jessica stepped right in and we did not miss a beat. And we were lucky enough to have BOTH ladies present at the reception! The food was executed flawlessly, including a custom-made signature drink involving fresh herbs and brewed tea. We heard nothing but compliments on the food from our guests. They were so impressed with the complexity of the menu and how well it was executed. Not to be overlooked was the OUTSTANDING service of the waitstaff and bar tenders. Everyone was professional and unobtrusive. It was perfect. I would absolutely recommend J Scott!!

ore thrilled with the experience. We worked with Rachel Brown at J.Scott Catering for the year long planning process and she was such a phenomenal resource and really helped to make our wedding so seamless. Rachel was super organized and I always felt like we were in such good hands, whether she was giving me advice on vendors in the area or helping us finalize linen colors. In addition to making sure we were on top of all the details, she also made the experience fun! She was very gracious and friendly with my family and made us feel so comfortable from the start. On the wedding day, I think just about every member of my family gushed to her about how grateful we were for all her hard work and how well it paid off! I’m the first of my siblings to get married and my family and I felt a little overwhelmed by all the wedding planning at first, but once we began working with Rachel and the J.Scott crew it really eliminated all of our fears. Besides the fantastic staff, the food from J.Scott Catering was the best wedding food I’ve ever tasted. The menus are fresh, unique and delicious and I’m still hearing compliments from guests. In addition, I found the cost to be very reasonable especially when compared to other venues in the southeastern PA area. I feel like we really got a lot for our money in terms of the quality of food, the professional servers and bartenders and J.Scott’s willingness to accommodate all of our specific needs. I am so thankful to J.Scott Catering, Springton Manor Farm and especially Rachel for helping us craft a beautiful, rustic and romantic wedding day that really represented who we are as a couple.
