Serock Catering is partnered with Loch Aerie and let’s just say, it is the perfect combo! From the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts, our guests haven't stopped talking ab...
out it. The appetizers were perfect and plentiful.
Guests raved about how delicious and different the appetizers were as they were perfectly curated to our preferences! The short rib is nothing short of a dream- it is a perfect change from the typical filet at weddings. The butternut squash lasagna was a huge hit for everyone- it is sneaky good so don’t pass up on before giving it a try!
Violet was a dream to work with during the planning phase. From helping us curate a timeline that would ensure a smooth reception to helping with all of our questions at 4am- nothing was missed. Violet is an absolute dream and was so easy to work with, calming all of my bridezilla moments. Violet was my rock and my go-to person for the entirety of wedding planning.
Food was our #1 priority, and Serock Catering exceeded every expectation. From the tasting that allowed us to try so much and experience a night at the mansion similar to a wedding- it helped ensure we made the right decision on food options. We had several guests with complex dietary needs (vegan, GF, and nut allergies), and the team handled it with total professionalism—every guest felt included and well-fed without any awkwardness.
A huge shoutout to John and the staff, who made sure we were always taken care of, from food and drinks, to helping our night go so smoothly. Even during a medical emergency at the reception, the staff remained calm and provided us with the sanity to handle the situation with ease and care. Thank you to Amanda & all of the chefs for the world’s best food- y’all knocked it out of the park! John went above and beyond the whole night. He helped with the set up of our cocktail hour games and was truly hands on for the whole night. John was an absolute awesome day of coordinator and we are so thankful for him. He made sure everything went smoothly. Also, huge shout out to the bartenders and servers- nobody ever had to wait for appetizers or drinks- it was a seamless night for all our guests needs!
The service was 'invisible' in the best way; plates were cleared instantly, and the late-night cookies were the perfect exit snack for all of our guests to enjoy on their way home. Truly a luxury experience from start to finish.

Our daughter was married recently and the caterer was Serock Catering. I had heard fabulous things about them and their reputation did not disappoint. At the taste testing, every...
thing was so amazing that the couple had a difficult time choosing their menu. As part of your service, you get a day of coordinator and Violet worked with my daughter throughout the planning process and was amazing. She was very thorough, helpful, and was able to anticipate our needs. Unfortunately, on the day of the wedding, Violet had a medical issue and could not attend which could have been disastrous. Violet communication with the owner, John Serock, was organized and although Violet was missed on the day, the details and planning was smoothly transitioned into the care of John. He fit in seamlessly and was like part of the family.

We highly recommend John Serock Catering!!!! From the very beginning, they showed how dedicated they are to creating an unforgettable experience for their couples. They customized ...
our menu in the most thoughtful ways, offering adventurous dishes that wowed our guests, bringing a Magic Bullet so my dad could enjoy pureed short rib, and happily incorporating ice cream from our college into the dessert course. Every single detail was perfect, and guests are still talking about the food weeks later.
We were also surprised by how much we were able to enjoy the meal ourselves. Many couples say they barely eat on their wedding day, but we had a peaceful moment together sharing the lasagna and short rib, and it felt so special.
Maryann deserves particular praise. She stayed with us from the moment the ceremony ended, ensuring we had food and drinks, looking after our families during portraits, and generally making us feel so cared for. Her warmth and attention made the day feel effortless.
We fell in love with Serock’s food at an open house, and the wedding day proved that their quality and service are truly exceptional. We’re so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding the best weekend of our lives.

They were so on top of making sure we and the guests had everything we needed and that allergies/dietary needs were addressed. Serock even sent us home with nicely packaged leftovers. Also, our cake was a partnership with The Master's Baker through our Serock package, and the cake was so delicious. (Pro tip: don't leave for your honeymoon for a few days so you can enjoy all your wedding leftovers! You will want to!)

roughout the entire process. The food itself was incredible- I am vegan, so it was really important that we have a variety of creative, thoughtful dishes. The team truly went above and beyond with the hors-d'oeuvres, the salad, the mains, and even vegan cobbler with vegan ice cream. Our guests- many with varying and special diets- all felt accommodated and loved the food. The staff were kind, attentive, and highly professional- especially Jules who was our personal staff member. I really appreciate how they packed up all our leftovers at the end of the night too. I will be recommending Serock to all of our friends who are getting married in the coming years!

stion I had, she answered with patience and care, guiding me every step of the way. She was incredibly helpful, and I truly don’t think I could have planned this wedding without her support.
The most important thing to me on my wedding day was that everyone had a great time and enjoyed the food—and the food was phenomenal! Even three weeks later, I’m still receiving compliments from guests saying it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. People can’t stop raving about the appetizers, entrées, and desserts!
I also had a personal waitress who was so kind and attentive, she constantly checked in to make sure I had something to eat and a drink in my hand. They even saved appetizers and kept my dinner warm for me when I wasn’t at my table yet, which meant so much.
Thank you, John Serock Catering, for providing a perfect night filled with unforgettable food and incredible service!

The Dream Team – Crystal, Matt, and the Serock Staff Were Incredible!
I honestly don’t even know where to begin because Crystal and the entire Serock team blew us away. From start...
to finish, Crystal was on top of everything. She made sure our food order was exactly what we wanted, kept in touch with us throughout the entire planning process, and genuinely cared about us and our wedding. She even helped make sure our décor was perfect—something she didn’t have to do, but she did it anyway just because she wanted our day to be amazing.
She coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes, so we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I truly don’t know what we would have done without her—she knows her stuff and is absolutely top tier.
We also have to give a huge shoutout to Matt Bosch, the server assigned to us on our wedding day. He was incredible. Every time we turned around, he was right there making sure we had everything we needed—especially keeping our hands full with our favorite drinks! He even set up our private room with two tables, two chairs, a candle, and all the food we had asked for. It was such a sweet and thoughtful touch, and he was such a pleasure to work with. Truly one of the best.
The rest of the Serock team was just as amazing—professional, polite, and so helpful. Our guests even commented on how great they were! And the food… wow. People are still talking about it. So many of our guests told us it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding—and honestly, we agree.
We’ve had multiple people tell us our wedding was the best they’ve ever been to, and we know that’s because of how much care and hard work Crystal, Matt, and the entire Serock team put into making everything perfect. We are beyond grateful.

From helping choose linens to making our floor plan work to responding to all my questions quickly and with detailed thoughtful answers, they really are the best. And that's even before we tasted the food, which was AMAZING. We were so happy to be eating such delicious high quality food at our wedding and we were able to take some leftovers, which were still fabulous reheated! The service was also amazing, I really enjoyed every interaction I had with all the members of the team and our guests have mentioned how nice and helpful the people were. I also really appreciated that I saw and interacted with Violet throughout the reception, it was like she was everywhere ready to help all night which was so nice especially since we had worked with her for the past year on the wedding. Highly highly recommend this team, 12/10!!

When our original wedding venue burned down four months before our wedding in May 2025, we were scrambling to find a replacement caterer. It felt like we couldn't find a group who ...
was affordable, detail oriented, friendly, and most importantly, have great food! After a tasting and first meeting with John Serock's group, we felt that we were putting our wedding in the best hands. Crystal, our coordinator, was incredibly professional, prompt, and fun to work with. She took so much stress off our shoulders.
We ended up having our wedding reception at a family friend's home. Dinner and dancing were under a tent outside. The weather was a bit chiller than we were hoping for, but the food still came to our tables piping hot. All of our guests said the food was the best they've had at a wedding. They couldn't believe Serock's group had never worked at this "venue" before because of how smooth everything went.
I never thought I would say that our wedding venue burning down was the best thing to happen to us... but after the wedding day that we had thanks to Crystal and her team, I can say this was the way it should've been from the start. I cannot recommend them enough.

We cannot thank Serock Catering enough for the incredible job they did on our wedding day! From the very first tasting to the final bite of dessert, they exceeded every expectation...
and then some.
The food was absolutely amazing — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests are still raving about the hors d’oeuvres and the entrees (especially the steak and pasta course — unforgettable!). Everything was cooked to perfection and served seamlessly, even with our large guest count.
But what truly set Serock apart was their level of professionalism and care. Their team was organized, attentive, and so kind throughout the planning process and the wedding day itself. They made everything feel effortless, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of our celebration.
They didn’t just cater our wedding — they helped bring our vision to life and created an experience our guests will remember forever. We would 100% recommend Serock Catering to any couple looking for delicious food, exceptional service, and a team you can trust.
Thank you for helping make our day so perfect!

Special shout out to our bridal attendant who greeted us with a big smile and had our specialty cocktails and apps ready to go right after the ceremony! She made sure we had a chance to eat and enjoy our meal together before saying our hellos to guests & hitting the dancefloor. Our guests raved about the spread we selected for our passed apps and are still talking about the quality of the steak and the chicken dishes we selected. Oh and the late night cheesesteaks were arguably the biggest hit of the night! Truly 5 star experience all the way around - their service, food quality, and selections are top notch!

Words cannot describe our incredible experience with the Serock team. It all started with our first tasting with Steven, who walked us through all of the options and entrees and wa...
s so friendly and funny; he just made the experience so enjoyable. And the food, the FOOD was phenonmeal-when I think of catering, I don’t tend to think that I’d be eating a meal that I would genuinly crave and want to go back to that place to have it multiple times but that’s the way my husband and I felt about the Salmon and filet we tried with sides that genuinly just stunned. Our guests absolutely raved about our entrees and the presentation- Bao Buns actually came in a little steamer basket, our personal fav, the cutest grilled cheese shooters, and the ahi tuna cones. Well, the joke was I had 14 of them. We always felt so taken care of and waited on throughout our big day with drinks ready to go right after we finished our ceremony and a personal waiter throughout the busy night. We were able to make customizations like adding an asian take-out late-night snack too. My husband and I are the biggest foodies you’ll meet, so it was important to us that it was a piece of our day that stunned, and that it did. Our guests absolutely raved about the food, and I’m convinced that no one has been to a wedding and has been better fed than ours with Serock. My vision for the ceremony was also a bit different, and Steven helped that come to life as well with setting up the chairs in a particular fashion that I envisioned. Also have to shout out John Serock himself as we got the chance to speak with him at one of the Appleford tastings and his passion for the business and attention to the quality of ingredients and products he puts in front of his clients was so evident to us.

ss, but as soon as we talked with Steven from John Serock, we knew we’d found the perfect fit.
From the beginning, their team went above and beyond, offering support well beyond just the food. They were incredibly responsive, always ready with advice, and genuinely invested in making our day amazing. Steven, in particular, is a total pro—fun, passionate, and truly excellent at what he does.
Our tasting was such a memorable experience—we even got to meet some of the chefs and hear about the inspiration behind the dishes, which was a level of connection you don’t often get with caterers. On the big day, the food was phenomenal. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about it, and the service was impeccable.
As the bride and groom, we felt so well taken care of. They made sure we actually got to eat (including appetizers from cocktail hour!) and always had a drink in hand.
I honestly will miss working with Steven—he was such a joy throughout the process. If you’re considering them, do yourself a favor and choose John Serock Catering. You won’t regret it!

My husband and I got married on 4/26/2025 at Loch Aerie Mansion, where John Serock Catering is the exclusive caterer. After reading so many rave reviews, we were confident that th...
e food at our wedding would be good. Even with high expectations, we were still blown away on our wedding day.
The food was absolutely delicious by any standard. The ahi tuna cones, short rib bao buns and crab cake sliders are MUST HAVE hors d'oeuvres. Our dinner options were filet mignon, chilean sea bass and cheese tortellini in pesto. It is impossible to choose a favorite because they were all amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed each and every bite, both at the wedding and over the last few days as we ate our way through the leftovers (of which there were many).
In addition to the high quality of the food, all of the staff was so kind and accommodating, especially our day-of-coordinator, Violet, and our assigned server, Angela. Violet was such a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process, always promptly responding to my questions and assuring me that everything would go smoothly. Angela took such good care of me, my husband and our parents the entire evening. Many people warned us that we wouldn't get to eat at the wedding because we'd be so busy mingling, but we both felt like we had more than enough food -- all thanks to Angela making us plates of hors d'oeuvres and dessert.
John Serock Catering is top-tier and worth every penny. We could not be happier with our experience!

We worked with Crystal and she was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the whole process.
The day of went better than I could have ever hoped. The food was amazing! From cocktail hour to dinner and dessert, everything was delicious. We had a designated person who made sure we got to eat the food at our own wedding and also made sure we had drinks at our table. We went with the pretzels as a late night snack and were so glad we did. They were a hit! Crystal was also so efficient and attentive the day of as well doing far above and beyond what I would have expected!
The last thing I want to highlight is the value. Of course weddings are pricey these days, but we felt that the service and quality we got was worth every penny. The cake from Master’s Baker was beautiful and delicious, and loved that it was looped in with John Serock (one less thing to coordinate day of!) and again there was no shortage of food throughout the evening! We can’t say enough good things about John Serock Catering!

The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and it was clear that the team put a lot of thought and care into everything. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was!
The catering team was also exceptional. Crystal Turner, in particular, was a joy to work with. She was not only incredibly professional but also personable and truly cared about our vision. Even when we didn’t have all the answers, she was patient and provided helpful suggestions. At the ceremony itself, the entire staff was incredibly kind and attentive. Several guests mentioned how much they appreciated the warmth and service from the catering team. My husband and I felt completely taken care of throughout the day.
Our tasting experience was so much fun, and we were thrilled with the range of menu options available. The caterer was very accommodating when it came to dietary restrictions, ensuring that everyone had something to enjoy. We couldn’t have been happier with our selections.
John Serock Catering didn’t just handle the food—they helped manage the entire event seamlessly. They went above and beyond in coordinating everything, and honestly, we felt like we had a day-of coordinator in addition to our caterer! The event ran perfectly, and there was not a single hiccup.
Communication with the team was always quick, easy, and thoughtful. They took the time to really get to know us and our preferences, which made the whole process feel personal and stress-free.
I would hands-down recommend John Serock Catering to anyone planning a wedding or special event. We had a perfect 10/10 experience with them, and we’re so grateful for their role in making our day unforgettable!

I was absolutely blown away by the food from John Serock Catering at our wedding—from cocktail hour to the main meal and dessert, everything was exceptional. Typically, wedding foo...
d is just “okay,” and I tend to give caterers grace since they’re producing such large quantities, but that was not the case with John Serock. Many of our guests raved about how delicious everything was and were genuinely impressed by the quality.
For dessert, we opted for mini pies, and they were super accommodating, even creating a custom blueberry-peach combo for us, which turned out amazing. After our tasting, when we tried the bread pudding served over cinnamon ice cream, we knew it had to be on our dessert menu! They happily added it for us, and it didn’t cost an arm and a leg. We also included an end-of-the-night snack—a tater tot bar—which was a huge hit with our guests. No one left hungry!
My main contact was Kristy, who was amazing throughout the entire process. She answered my many questions quickly and was incredibly helpful. The tasting was also phenomenal—they provided so much food, and everything was delicious!
John Serock is one of The Farm at Eagles Ridge exclusive caterers, and I now understand why. They are truly the best bang for your buck! Their base price includes everything you need, including linens, china, and even mixers and bartenders for the open bar. The staff on our wedding day was professional and friendly, making the entire experience seamless. As a thoughtful touch, they even gifted us an engraved champagne ice bucket with our wedding date, which was so special.
If you’re considering a caterer, I couldn’t recommend John Serock more highly! They exceeded every expectation.

ines prior to and during the day of our wedding, during the tasting, answered our many emails, and problem solved through any day of issues seamlessly. The FOOD WAS SO GOOD! We chose the plated prime rib, scallops, and butternut squash for the day and every person we talked to absolutely loved it! It was also nice that we were able to chose between plated or buffet style for our wedding. They also had passed apps which we couldn't get enough of and a warm dessert bar w/ ice cream that was a fan favorite after talking to our guests. I also loved that they worked with such a good cake company Masters Baker (which was included in our price) and included tables/chairs/plates/linens and more. They also were BYOB which was perfect for us as a couple and provided helpful amounts/types of drinks for certain guest counts. They had a very good working relationship with our venue at Appleford Estate which made any planning very easy on our end. Steven was an excellent coordinator during the entire process and made us feel well supported on our special day! If I could give a million stars to this company I would!

The absolute best Caterer out there! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The food was an absolute highlight, and our guests are still talking about it! Rachael, our eve...
nt coordinator, exceeded every expectation we had from a caterer. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect and handled all my crazy-bride-questions with calm and confidence. She was an absolute delight to work with and is so knowledgeable about the day-of activities for any wedding, that she was always one step ahead! She answered all our emails quickly and professionally and made planning a wedding so much less stressful!
Again, the food was unreal and truly the best food I’ve had at any wedding. They offer such a large selection of appetizers, entrees and desserts and made it easy to pick vegetarian and gluten-free options. It was easy to communicate guests’ dietary restrictions and make any last-minute changes. My husband and I had our own server (Allyson) who made sure we always had coffee and food. She even brought us a plate of appetizers to our “getting ready room” during cocktail hour!
The Serock Team is extraordinarily attentive, talented, and professional and if you are looking for a caterer for your wedding or event, I would recommend them 10 out of 10 times! We will definitely be back 😊

John Serock Catering absolutely nailed every single aspect of our wedding day. Kristy Arnold was incredibly communicative and helpful through the whole process.
The cocktail hour...
passed apps were delicious and we got a Wok station, a fun and unique touch I haven't seen at other weddings.
All of our mains - A short rib, an herb roasted chicken, jumbo stuffed shrimp and eggplant parm were equally strong. While you typically get three meal options from a caterer, you can add a 4th option for a flat $500 which is honestly so worth it.
The wait staff was great and the bartenders were world class. I am biased because it was my own wedding, but the food was fantastic. When talking to our guests, this was one of the first things that was mentioned for most people!
Our only regret from our entire wedding day was that we forget to get some Bread Pudding, which was the star of the tasting.
So many of life's biggest moments and celebrations take place with your favorite people over a meal and John Serock Catering ensured that meal was A ++.
Thank you so much Serock!

r main contact and day of coordinator Steven. He was with us throughout the planning stage, very responsive, and made everything easy and low stress. On the day of the event, Steven was there from start to finish, ensuring that everything ran perfectly. He checked in with us throughout the night, kept everyone on schedule, and was extremely professional. We received many comments on how well done the wedding was and we owe a lot of that to Steven, his staff, and their hard work throughout the night. They were attentive and anticipated our needs before we asked for them. The food was beautiful and delicious. John Serock Catering is top notch and you are in great hands with them.

swered in a timely manner and emails answered promptly. The food tasting was a very fun experience and we could even bring our parents as well. They were very flexible even with all of our changes with guests the week of our wedding with counts and changing entree choices. The day of the wedding went so smoothly and food was delivered to guests efficiently. My husband and I even had our own server who gave us drinks immediately following the ceremony and followed us around during cocktail hour with our own drinks and apps and got us anything we needed. All of the food is amazing including both the appetizers and entrees and we even did the ice cream sundae bar which was a huge hit with our guests. Crystal did so much more beyond catering the day of the wedding and was a huge support in so many other areas of the day. I would HIGHLY recommend John Serock Catering to everyone!! Absolutely zero complaints.

r on our wedding day, which was June 22, 2024. Working with Rachael was amazing and made the whole process easy. She was there every step of the way and answered all my emails quickly. Rachael made our vision come through and took the extra time to make our tropical wedding perfect. She put the palm leaves on the table with the napkins the exact way we wanted and took the extra time to do this for us and make our vision come alive. We highly recommend Serock Catering for your wedding if you want amazing food and that special touch. The pasta bar was amazing at our wedding, as well as all the other food. The hot dog cart was a huge hit for late night snacks. Everyone raved about the food at our wedding and said everything tasted amazing. A week later and people are still talking about the food. Thank you so much Rachael and the whole Serock team!

Caterer of my dreams! I've been following John Serock on IG for over 7 years now out of coincidence, and when I found my venue (the Barn at Silverstone) and heard they solely cate...
red with John Serock, I knew I found the perfect match. Everything at the tasting was so delicious and since we had work that day and missed the appetizers/cocktail hour tasting, we went on our culinary hunches and picked the apps by the descriptions, which all turned out to be major wins. They had a nice selection of linens and they take care of all the glassware, cutlery. The day of our wedding, our food exceed the tasting. Every one of my guests raved about the food. As someone who has been to over 30 weddings this past decade, I did not have high expectations for wedding food. After all, how can you make delicious meals for almost 150 guests? Apparently they can! Our food tasted even BETTER than at our tasting and we were so, so pleased. Everyone was concerned about my food and water supply as a bride, but I find that when you are with Serock, you do not need to worry. In fact, I got so full off of cocktail I had to stop in order to make sure I can enjoy the entree. The Cabernet Short Ribs is a crowd favorite since they are so tender and fall apart, but my personal favorite is the eggplant parmesan and the Crab Cakes were also a hit. Even the desserts were fantastic and our friends had huge grins on their way from the dessert table. The cinnamon bread pudding is SO good. Nothing warms my heart more than seeing people eat so joyfully, and even make comments about it. Their team is fantastic and seamless with the cocktail hour to reception, making sure everyone had what they needed without making a disruption on our celebration. Everyone was kind, respectful & professional. I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs! I don't have photos of the entrees yet so please enjoy the table setting :)

s on as you'd want. We did not have a wedding planner, so Crystal really went above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone.
The food from Serock was very good; we enjoyed it more than some of the food at some of the fanciest weddings we've been to. It was quality and all the options they provided at their price point were excellent. The staff on the day of also did a great job. Finally, the built in cake cost made the cake experience super easy.
