We are so glad we booked with John Serock Catering! They became the exclusive caterer for our venue after we had booked, but we selected John Serock before that so it was meant to be!
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!

We could not be more thrilled with our choice to work with John Serock Catering for our wedding. From start to finish, they exceeded both our expectations and those of our guests in every way.
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!

We were absolutely blown away by the food, selections, partnership and service that came from partnering with Serock Catering! Violet Schmidt was our main contact and she was amazing to work with. From the beginning of planning to day of details- she guided us every step of the way and did so much with setting up, making sure little details were taken care of and truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect! If you are considering Serock catering, we highly recommend!

10/10 The food was amazing!!! They altered dishes to accommodate our preferences and allergies. Bonus, their vegetarian choices were just as thoughtful and well done and did not feel like a substitution. They staff was attentive, professional and there was never a long line at the bar. Out coordinator Violet felt like a friend. She answered questions promptly, let me change my mind and calmed all my nerves. She’s also your day of coordinator and when I say there were zero hiccups, I mean it. She checked in on us, kept things on schedule and gave us so much support. During cocktail hour/ photos you have an assigned server and we were never without drinks or food. Working with them was organized, transparent and very easy. Delicious food was one our nonnegotiables and they delivered!

The team was professional, attentive, and so easy to work with during the planning process. They accommodated all of our requests and dietary needs seamlessly, ensuring everyone felt taken care of. On the big day, their service was flawless, with every detail handled perfectly.
Thank you, Serock Catering, for helping make our wedding everything we dreamed it would be! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch catering that will truly impress.

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 food 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.

Kristy our event coordinator was so great to work with! She was super helpful and responsive to all my questions. Our day of coordinator, Katie, made the day run so smoothly and helped out with anything we needed making the day so much less stressful. The servers were fantastic and attentive and the chefs cooked a delicious meal our guests still rave about it!

Amazing food and experience! We worked with John Serock Catering for our wedding on June 8th, 2024 and cannot express how great this company is! Steven Huey guided us through timelines 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 event 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!

Serock catering is the best of the best. From the food to the attention to detail, we had a great experience with them for our June 2024 wedding. I cannot speak highly enough of our 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.

John Serock Catering is stellar! Our venue was at Merion Tribute House in Merion Station, PA. Stephen Huey was our designated person as MTH's exclusive vendor partner. We couldn't have been happier with Steven's above-and-beyond service and the caterer's excellent food. We were all very impressed with the dedicated service, hard work and friendly staff. Our guests were very happy!

We worked with Steven from John Serock Catering and could not be happier with the food or the service. Steven was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process and wedding itself. We worked with him from across the country and a three hour time difference with zero issues. The food was excellent and we were very well taken care throughout our wedding. Steven kept us on track and was very easy to work with. We highly recommend John Serock to any one looking for quality catering for their wedding.

I recently used John Serock Catering for our wedding of 200 guests. From the day we signed the contract to the day of the wedding was a wonderful experience. All questions were answered 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.

Serock Catering hands down the BEST of the BEST! We were told if you want that special touch, to go with them. After the tasting we knew we hit the jackpot. The food was even better 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 catered 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 :)

We worked with Kristy, who went above and beyond to answer questions and provide information throughout our planning process. We loved that this company covered so many things for our wedding, including food, desert, linens, bartending services, and so much more. John Serock is an excellent company that we highly recommend!

We greatly enjoyed working with Serock and our coordinator Crystal. Crystal was always available to assist with any question or concern big or small. She was as helpful and as hands 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.

I used John Serock Catering for a recent corporate dinner hosted at our office. Our team was looking for somewhere new and John Serock did not disappoint. Crystal was our Event Manager. We planned this event with only a month turnaround. Crystal provided super helpful and timely responses. She took the initiative to come tour our office so she could best understand our space. She truly is an expert. After her office visit, I knew I was in good hands and felt so relieved. The day of the event there was such a calm. Crystal and the #Serockstars showed up on time and got right to business. All the staff were professional, courteous, helpful, and accommodating. The quality of food was top notch! One of our team members said, "this is the best meal we've had at a corporate event." I am so appreciative of the experience they provided, quality food and quality service doesn't do them justice. I will plan to use them again for future event needs!

Wo, just wow! First odd, Kristy at Serock is a miracle worker. She helped plan such an amazing day, kept everything in line, and not a single thing went wrong.
The entire Serock team was extremely professional and were extremely fast! From the bartenders to the servers, no one had to wait for anything.
Lastly, the food was to die for. I was told on several occasions that we had the best food at any wedding people have been too. The filets were an awesome portion size and cooked to perfection and the crab cakes were to die for! The eggplant part was the perfect vegan option! Highly highly recommend!

Serock Catering exceeded expectations for our wedding day! The food was INCREDIBLE at our tasting and at the wedding with 150+ people. Kristy at Serock was so easy to work with prior to the day of, the coordination at the rehearsal and making sure the groom and I were always well fed and had everything we needed on the wedding day. The entire staff was so friendly and our wedding night ran so smooth, I cannot recommend this catering company enough for making our day so special!!
We had a Pittsburgh cookie table that Kristy and team offered to help setup, box up and tear down. They were so accommodating to all of our requests and adjusted when we brought extra cookies than expected. We still have so many guests complimenting on how incredible the staff and food was!

If you want high quality delicious food your guests will actually enjoy and remember AND you want a super easy to work with team who goes above and beyond? Look no further than John Serock. We met John himself while on a tour of Greystone Manor. After the guide for the manor kept going without us, we ran into John and HE personally showed us around the rest of the venue and talked to us about the different things the venue has done in the past and whatnot. He was such a delight and left such an impression before we ever tasted his food. THEN to our absolute delight we found out he was a caterer option for the Merion Tribute House (the venue we picked). Everything they make is delicious from the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts. They are not afraid to customize the menu to your preferences and are very flexible for dietary restrictions. We had the filet mignon, chicken Florentine, butternut squash lasagna (amazing vegetarian option that's unique!) and a greek stuffed mushroom option for our vegan guests. The appetizers were so varied and delicious the lamb "lolly pops" were my favorite. Their mini desserts are all to die for and their partner cake baker the Masters Baker is just incredible. John's team was easy to work with, even when we had to reschedule from 2020 to 2021 due to the pandemic. Their linen choices are just lovely and their website to plan the seating was super easy to use. I would use them again for an event in a second and honestly wish they had a restaurant where I could go back for their food again and again. This isn't your every day wedding caterer, this is a fine dining experience. (And if you're a bride/groom who can't choose which entree you want, they can do a combo entree for you!! I got to have a little of everything on my big day)
ALSO their staff follow you around with hors d'oeuvres while you take photos so you do get to eat during cocktail hour. AND they pack you one of each entree, and a bunch of your desserts to go for food the next day. We ate well at our wedding AND the next day too! (photos by martin reardon photography)

Our wedding was elevated to a whole new level of culinary excellence thanks to John Serock Catering. The food was an absolute highlight, leaving a lasting impression on our guests who couldn't stop raving about the delicious flavors and impeccable presentation.
Crystal, the event manager, played a pivotal role in ensuring that every culinary detail was handled flawlessly. Her meticulous approach and attention to detail were evident throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. From coordinating the menu selections to overseeing the service, Crystal's professionalism and expertise shone through, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day with complete confidence.
We extend our sincere appreciation to John Serock Catering and especially to Crystal and the entire team, for turning our wedding into a gastronomic delight. The culinary experience they provided was not just a meal but a memorable journey of flavors, and we are grateful for their contribution to the success of our special day.

We worked with Serock Catering through our venue (The Barn at Silverstone) and while we didn't get to test anything prior to booking, we were SO happy to have found them. The food was excellent, abundant and loved that it was all inclusive. We didn't have to stress about estimating how many of each hor d'oeuvres we'd need, they just kept bringing them out. They accommodated food restrictions/allergies. Their dessert spread was especially phenomenal (the cobbler!!). They so kindly gave us leftovers that sustained us for a whole week after the wedding (especially nice since we had a few people who couldn't make it to the wedding even though we paid for their plate, so at least the food didn't go to waste!) Kristy was our assigned coordinator and was amazing and helping us with the timing, logistics and working with our venue coordinator Miranda. The two are dynamic duos and know how to run a good wedding. Everyone walked out full and everything ran so smoothly. Would recommend!

John Serock Catering exceeded every single expectation we could have had. When we booked our venue, Serock Catering was the sole vendor associated with our venue and I can understand why. We worked with Kristy throughout the entire process and she is INCREDIBLE. She is extremely easy to reach and always answers any questions or possible changes we may have had. When we went for our food tasting we just wanted to fast forward to our wedding just so we can have the food again. Our guests could not stop praising the food and are still reaching out to us to tell us this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. From cocktail hour, to reception, to dessert and even our signature cocktails at the bar. Amazing. Kristy also acted as the day of coordinator on our wedding day and everything went off perfectly because of her. She constantly checks in with the bride and groom throughout the night to make sure they are being taken care of and if they need anything. I also want to mention their staff is fantastic. Everyone was so kind and attentive to our guests throughout the night. We could not have asked for a better company to have played such a big role on our day. Also- add the short rib to your entree choice. I swear you won't regret it!!!

My husband and I got married about a month ago and our wedding guests are still talking about how delicious the food was at our wedding! My husband and I especially appreciated that the Serocking catering staff made sure to bring a tray of apps over to us so we could snack while taking pictures during cocktail hour. My husband is not very big on sweets and typically only eats them if he has a glass of milk. Our day of coordinator remembered him mentioning this during our food tasting and made sure to bring a glass of milk out for him during our cake cutting! We loved that they remembered this minor detail and went above and beyond to make sure he could enjoy our wedding cake. Thank you Serock catering team for helping to make our wedding day so special!

From every hors d'oeuvres, to the dinners, and ending with the bread pudding the whole event was incredible. Violet and AJ were a dream to work with.

We had our wedding with Serock at Loch Aerie Mansion on 11/4/23. Needless to say, Serock was nothing short of perfect! From start to finish, working with this team was exceptional. Violet was communicative, efficient, friendly, and detail oriented. The food itself is absolutely phenomenal from the appetizers all the way to the dessert offerings. Both during our reception and in the time since, my husband and I have received comment upon comment about the amazing quality of the food and service! We had a personal attendant throughout the night to assure we had everything we could possibly need. If you are looking for a caterer to assure you have a stress free wedding with exceptional food, look no further!

John and his team are the absolute best! There are so many things I could say, but I will just point out the amount of attention to detail that came with Serock Catering - it is unmatched! Violet is so great at what she does! She made sure our whole wedding day went smooth and checked in on us when we were least expecting it, making us feel secure that things were being handled behind the scenes. The whole staff was truly amazing too. We had the best service and bartenders were great as well. We received more feedback from our guests on how great the food was, than anything else. 11/10 recommended for any and all events! Thank you John and your whole team who gave us the best wedding day ever!

My daughter’s wedding and reception was held at the beautiful Loch Aeire Mansion on 10/27. We were fortunate to have a gorgeous 75 degree day, but even more blessed to have Serock Catering in charge of every last detail. From the initial tasting to the venue cleanup, everything exceeded all of our expectations. Violet was in charge of our celebration and was professional, kind, detail oriented and attentive. The food was amazing and servers top notch. As mother of the bride, I felt the support of Serock and staff made our special day perfect. I fully recommend them- you can’t do any better!

Serock was amazing from start to finish. The appetizers and dinner were fabulous and the guests raved about it. Servers, bartenders and Steven provided a warm atmosphere for all.
The day was PERFECT thanks to Serock Catering

The best catering experience from start to finish! The staff went above and beyond to make our experience the easiest and best it could be.
From the start at our first tasting we knew we had to go with this team. The team was extremely accommodating and safe when it came to my gluten allergy and any other allergies that came to our guests.
The day of coordination and leading up to the wedding the team exceeded our expectations when it came to planning. Our wedding would not of gone as smoothly if it wasn’t for the team.
Our guests are still raving about how great the food was and the choices!

I highly recommend booking with Serock for your wedding! We worked with John and Crystal, and they were both friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, and kind throughout the entire process. Crystal answered all of our emails quickly and professionally. The food was absolutely AMAZING and truly better than any wedding I've been to. They have a large selection of apps, entrees, and desserts and made it easy to pick both vegetarian and celiac-friendly options. It was easy to identify guests w/ dietary restrictions and make any last-minute changes that were needed (with guests cancelling last minute, etc).
The servers were all very kind and professional. My husband and I were "assigned" our own server for the night (shout out Matt!), who made sure we always had our drinks refilled, etc. He even brought us a plate of apps as we didn't get to have any during cocktail hour.
Overall, we strongly recommend booking Serock for your wedding!

If you want the absolute best wedding food, hands down, book Serock ASAP. We knew food was going to be an important vendor for us since my family is adventurous with food while my husband’s family are more “meat and potato” people as he’d phrase it so we needed a caterer that could accommodate all levels of foodie. We did tastings with Serock and one other caterer over a year and a half before the wedding and brought my in-laws with us and all four of us agreed that Serock’s food was tastier, had better options and was actually more affordable when we compared it to the other tasting. My husband was so in love with their Philly cheesesteak egg rolls that he tried to make them himself between our tasting and the wedding since he didn’t want to wait! We worked with Kristy leading up to the wedding and she was super responsive and accommodating. We did a dessert table rather than a cake and asked Serock if they could use the recipe for pumpkin cheesecake bars that we make every thanksgiving and they honestly made it better than we do. Additionally they accommodated a special request my husband had for serving a very special craft beer to select guests at the wedding and he was super appreciative.
Everything leading up to the wedding and on the day of ran so smoothly. One server attended to us the whole night making sure we stayed hydrated through all of our dancing which was so key :) And most importantly, absolutely everything tasted amazing and came out hot. Our guests are still talking about the food from our wedding weeks later. 10/10 would recommend Serock and we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that we can attend a wedding they cater soon!

If I could give John Serock 10 stars, I would.
We used Serock for both of our daughters weddings (which were a year apart) and everything was fantastic for both of them!! The Serock staff is a pleasure to deal with through the entire process (Violet and AJ, you both knocked it out of the park for our wedding on 10-21-23 (which included a TV for the Phillies game that had to be added last minute to accommodate our Phillies loving crowd :)
The food was delicious (same as last time) and guests commented to us during the reception.
Don't hesitate for one minute to book Serock for your wedding!! The are the best!!!

We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Serock Catering. From the get-go, the wedding coordinator was so easy to work with and on top of everything. She was also extremely friendly and pleasant to communicate with. As the wedding neared, she only got better and better, and the day went off without a hitch. We were so impressed by the expansive catering options and what great quality (and how delicious!) the food was. Serock was also beyond accommodating to our several guests with very specific dietary requirements, which they were quite appreciative of. Could not recommend them more!

John Serock catering was really amazing to work with. From my initial inquire, they were very responsive and communication was always great. From the tasting all the way up until the wedding day the food was delightful. They took guests food restrictions and allergies very serious. They made sure that my husband and I always had food and drinks all night while also, ensuring that the guests were taken care of. The whole staff, including waitresses, waiters, bartenders, and the day of coordinator were extremely friendly, and knew exactly what they were doing. Guests are still raving about the delicious food. The linens and way the tables were set was gorgeous and helped bring our vision to life. Thank you again!

From the beginning of planning my wedding, the Serock staff has been amazing. My coordinator, Rachael, was super reliable and responsive. She helped me through every aspect of my catering contract. At one point she was out of the office, and I emailed her and another staffer responded. They just all are amazing.
100% would recommend them. Everyone at the venue could point out how on top of everything they were and the food is delicious!

Where do we even begin? If you mention John Serock Catering to any vendor in the Greater Philadelphia Area, the first thing they’ll tell you is “you’re in great hands.” And they’re absolutely correct.
From Day 1, John was providing us with recommendations of some of his favorite vendors to work with, from DJ to photographer, and took the guesswork out of it for my husband and I.
The food is delicious! There was not a single thing we tried that we didn’t like. Also, they’re very good about allergies. We had one of those guest lists with a million food allergies and dietary restrictions and they didn’t skip a beat. They were happy to tweak meals for our guests, and even worked with us to make different plates for a couple of our trickier cases, ensuring everyone left with a full, happy belly.
Now, Violet! Oh my gosh, what a rockstar. She was our day-to-day person during the wedding planning. Since we’re from out of town, we met her when she helped us set up a separate tasting, and then she proceeded to answer every anxious bride message and question I asked 15 times over the next year. She always helped calm our nerves and practically held our hands through the whole wedding day.
The whole team was incredible. Everyone was nice, professional, and helpful. Special shoutout to Chelsea, who made sure my husband and I never had empty glasses (signature drinks AND water!) and who brought me an entire plate of bacon-wrapped scallops when I mentioned they were my favorite!
All of that to say, you are in great hands with John Serock Catering. We seriously couldn’t be happier with our experience.

We worked with John for our wedding this past June—and I can confidently say he is the reason our reception went off without a hitch.
When I initially was researching caterers, I knew I needed someone who felt comfortable working at an offsite family venue. The reception space we used was a very unique location and it required a bit more attention to detail in the planning process. I felt so lost given how much work I realized I was in for, but John and his team put this at ease. They are insanely knowledgeable, responsive, and helped us deliver a spectacular wedding reception. From the planning process to day-of coordination, Serock Catering is the team you want to be working with.
I had a vision of hosting a casual, social, yet elevated reception with stations and large open displays of food. People were running up to me all night saying, ‘this is the best food I’ve had at a wedding ever!’ While I am biased, I would have to agree! His team was so professional, friendly, and kind to all our guests throughout the night. All I heard were praises. Cheers to John Serock and his team—you made my vision to life and I am so thankful to have worked with you over the past year. I highly x10 recommend him to any future couples or events.

I will preface this by saying I had the pleasure of attending events where John Serock Catering provided services before and sought them out before any other vendor in the wedding planning process. We got married at Loch Aerie Mansion where they are the exclusive catering team, however, we looked at venues where Serock was recommended as well. The common thread? How much they appreciated their own relationship with this awesome team. We worked with Violet at Loch Aerie who did a phenomenal job responding to our questions and helping us navigate all of the different decisions we had to make in the process. We also requested to include a Pittsburgh cookie table in our contract which they were able to accommodate with parameters. That was such a special personal touch for us, especially being in the Philadelphia area where that is less common. The wait staff for our wedding was professional and kind and we really appreciated having our own personal staff member who was able to provide food and drink while we took pictures during cocktail hour. I never had to think about not eating at the wedding because I got a chance to try everything! The Serock team has this down to a science and it was awesome. Additionally, they were able to give many recommendations for the various food allergies and dietary needs that we had in our group. Violet was able to help us navigate that so our guests could have peace of mind. All in all, the team at Serock Catering deserves six stars and should be a top consideration for your catering needs.

Where do we even start?! John Serock Catering treated us and our family like ROYALTY from the start to the end. The tasting was absolutely delicious, and we immediately locked in the date with JSC the same night. We need to give the biggest shout to Steven, our main contact. He went above-and-beyond for us throughout the entire planning process and the day of the wedding. He helped us with multiple seating changes, beverage choices, décor set up, timelines, tip recs, and he even personalized our signature drink menu at the bars....doing it all with the biggest smile and amazing attitude. Steven and the whole JSC family made our wedding magical and we cannot thank them enough for their patience & love on our wedding day; everyone raved about the food and left with full bellies at the end of the night. We wish we could give JSC more than 5 stars because the whole team is so deserving of it! Xx Brian and Casie

John Serock Catering was absolutely incredible for our wedding. They were so helpful the entire process. The food was absolutely delicious. They assign a server/waitress to the bride and groom for the night of the wedding and they were so attentive, even anticipating our needs before we had to ask. I am so pleased with this catering company and highly recommend John Serock Catering! I'm hoping to have an event in the future that I can use them again for!

I don't know how to even begin talking about our experience with Serock. Working with Steven (total rockstar) and the whole Serock team was a breeze. The menu options were extensive and it was honestly quite hard to narrow down our choices because everything was so delicious. Our guests had nothing but compliments for cocktail hour, reception meal, and the awesome dessert bar. The staff who worked our wedding were professional and very kind. Would 100% recommend Serock, I wish I could eat my wedding meal again.

I would definitely book with John Serock Catering again and again. and believe me you will not be disappointed!

We are so lucky that Serock was the exclusive caterer for our wedding at the Barn at Silverstone! We were blown away at our food tasting at how incredible everything tasted. We’ve been told by many of our guests that it was the best cocktail hour they’ve ever been to, AND that the dinner food was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The servers and bartenders provided excellent service. Kristy, the coordinator for Serock at Silverstone, was an absolute God-send as our right-hand woman throughout the planning process and on the day of. She is one of the main reasons our day ran flawlessly, and we were at ease knowing the details were in her hands. Due to her flawless execution of her timeline, we actually ended up ahead of schedule, which gave us more time on the dance floor! Caroline was the server assigned to my husband & I throughout the night, and it felt like every time we turned around she had a new drink for us or was offering us more food! We felt so taken care of by Kristy, Caroline, and everyone at Serock and are so grateful for their amazing services! I will recommend them over and over again!!!

We had our wedding at The Farm at Eagles Ridge in Lancaster, PA. John Serock Catering was one of the venue’s preferred vendors and we are so glad we ended up booking with them! We worked with Kristy throughout the whole process. She was so responsive in answering all our questions and helping us make decisions. The food was absolutely delicious! We had 6 passed hors d'oeuvres and a station for cocktail hour. We couldn’t get enough of the Mac & Cheese lollipops! When we first booked with Serock, we liked the fact that they include 3 entree options (one being vegetarian). We were going to have a few vegetarian guests, so it was important for us to make sure there was something for them to eat! We had an ice cream sundae bar and tater tots bar at the end of the night. Both were a hit! We had several guests with food allergies (ie gluten, peanut, dairy) and Serock ensured that the food was prepared, so our guests could enjoy without worry. The servers and bartenders were wonderful all night. One of the servers (Olivia) made sure we always had a drink in our hand and checked in to make sure we didn’t need anything. We definitely recommended booking with them!

I can not explain how delicious the food is from John Serock Catering is! If I could book them for all events I ever plan in the future I would do it! I worked closely with Kristy the entire time and she made everything so easy! I was planning my wedding from 600 miles away but I was never worried about getting advice from Kristy and the advice came within 24 hours or less! The staff at John Serock were also ON TOP of everything there was never a moment I didn’t have a drink in my hand and some food in my belly! They always check on me and my husband and made sure we didn’t need anything, honestly I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Do your self a favor and book with John Serock and make your wedding amazing!

Serock Catering was amazing to work with, from our initial tasting to the wedding night itself. They took great care of us and provided an excellent level of service. Rachael and Crystal were wonderful to work with and super responsive. During our wedding at the Merion Tribute House, the staff were very attentive and all of our guests raved about the food (they are still raving about the food, one month later). Top hits from our guests were the cocktail hour appetizers and the dessert station! Would definitely recommend Serock Catering!

We wanted our wedding to have great food, one of the items we allocated more of our budget to and John Serock Catering exceeded ALL expectations! They were great communicators even with our primary contact taking a LOA, and all of our requests were accommodated. The food was phenomenal and menu was very flexible! We had quite a few guests with allergies and the team took great care of them. We also always had a person or two checking in with us to bring drinks and a private food platter to us. Would HIGHLY suggest and would use JSC again!! Worth the extra budget!!

We used John Serock Catering for our wedding at The Barn at Silverstone. I cannot tell you how happy and thankful I am that we did. Not only was the food exceptional and so delicious (we got so many compliments!), but our coordinator, Kristy, was absolutely fantastic and helped our day run as smoothly as possible. We couldn’t have done it without you, Kristy! We had guests with restrictions like dairy, gluten, and vegan, and they were able to accommodate them all with pleasure! The rest of the staff working our wedding day as well was so wonderful!! Very attentive and kind, and my husband and I felt very well taken care of. Thank you all so much! 100% recommend to anyone who is looking!

John Serock catering is exclusive to The Barn at Silverstone. Meaning, it is the only caterer that works there for obvious reasons. The food, staff, communication, tastings, all incredible. I would like to acknowledge three special people. First, John, the owner. John is from the West Chester Area. At one of the group tastings, John sat with us and wanted to get to know us as a couple. He made an effort to learn about the people he was servicing. John gave us lots of insight on the catering business, helpful tips, and shared his life with us. It was evident to us that Serock was more than just a catering company. Second, Kristy. Oh where to begin. Kristy, our main person, day of coordinator, communication line, and all other roles she fulfilled to make our day so perfect. From your professional expertise, experience at the venue, and sharing personal favorites, everything came together so beautifully. Kristy, thank you for your hard work, dedication, and constant line of communication with us. You are simply wonderful. Caitlyn, you are the definition of kindness. Thank you for taking care of Daulton and I throughout our wedding night. You went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. I vividly remember you seeking us out to check in on us. You are such a gem and asset to Serock. We are so grateful and lucky you were assigned to us.

We got married on 4/22/23 and JS catering was amazing. Not only was the food superb (we got the short rib, teriyaki salmon, and pesto tortellini), but the staff was excellent as well. The bar was never backed up and the passed appetizers got around to all guests. Kiley and Crystal were easy to work with and checked in with us every step of the way. You can't go wrong with them as your wedding caterer.

We were married 10/8/22 at The Barn at Silverstone. Working with our coordinator, Kristy, as well as the entire Serock staff, was so simple and easy because they are just that good at what they do. The tasting process was so relaxed and fun. We had no idea what we wanted for linens, table settings, etc. Kristy had it sorted out in minutes. On the day of our wedding, Kristy and her team arrived and immediately set to work. We didn’t have to do or worry about anything. During cocktail hour, we had our own server who supplied us with hour d'oeuvres and drinks. The staff definitely makes sure the wedding couple eats! When it was time for entrances, Kristy gathered us together and kept our timeline running smoothly. And the food, of course, was nothing short of perfection. Their food is fresh, hot, well portioned and presented, and, above all, absolutely delicious. We have received so many compliments on the quality of the food at our wedding and the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. And of course we can’t forget the bartenders, who kept the drinks flowing. Our guests loved our signature drinks. We cannot recommend John Serock and the entire staff enough, they are incredible at what they do. The food, and the coordination, exceeded anything we imagined. Thank you all so much!
