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.
We used Serock for my daughter’s wedding in November. We worked with Rachael who could not have been easier to work with! The entire process wonderful. We received so many compliments from our guests on the food (the stuffed mushrooms were t...
remendous), the service and the staff. We would highly recommend John Serock to anyone looking for a caterer in the area. Thank you Rachael for helping to make the day perfect!
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)

ble 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!
My husband and I got married 10/21/23 and used John Serock at Loch Aerie Mansion, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was! 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. Everything we wanted they were able to do above and beyond. They even helped us get a TV set up so we could stream the Phillies playoff game during the reception! You cannot go wrong with using their team for your event!!
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 orien...
ted. 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 tastin...
g 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 accommo...
dating 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 professiona...
lly. 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 phras...
e 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 near...
ed, 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 re...
strictions 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 rec...
ommendations 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.
Amazing food!
Our wedding was a great success in large part thanks to John Serock Catering! They were very friendly, great to work with, and attentive to detail. The food was excellent and the service was wonderful. We would recommend them, especially Crysta...
l who was a big help with the planning and very attentive to us and our family on the big day.
Serock catering was awesome - highly recommend
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 the...
y 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 sho...
ut 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
We couldn’t be happier with our catering experience with John Serock! Kiley and Steven were so sweet and easy to work with. The team went above and beyond our expectations from start to finish. We were amazed by the portion size, the presentati...

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 beca...
use 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.
absolutely DELICIOUS food! not one complaint about the taste of the food and the portion sizes were perfect too felt full but not overly full. the warm dessert table was everyones favorite! people still cannot stop talking about it.
we had th...
e pleasure of working with Steve for our wedding day coordinator, and his energy is so contagious he was up beat and ready to help us have a great time from the minute he stepped on site! the organization of their team felt so smooth and did not feel rushed.
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 ho...
ur 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 resp...
onsive 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!
Staff were very professional and knowledgeable on food and drink options. Worked well with the venue and other vendors. Food was just as good day of the wedding as it was at the tasting!
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, w...
as 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. Firs...
t, 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 ar...
ound 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!
Top notch caterer! Not only was the food delicious (we received many compliments) but the service and attention to detail was impressive. The planning process was also seamless and very organized.
We loved Serock!! We worked with Kristy from start to finish, and she was always so helpful/friendly. The food is AMAZING, all of our guests raved about how tasty everything was and how unique some of the dishes were. We also loved our private ...
tasting held at Serock office prior to the wedding to pick our food choices. It was so fun!! The day of the wedding, Kristy was our go-to. She made sure everything was in order and running smoothly and if we needed anything at all during the reception, we knew Kristy was our girl. We have already recommended Serock to our friends who are getting married next year and they booked! We will continue recommending Serock to everyone!
Our daughter was married this November and reception was at Loch Aerie Mansion in Malvern, Pa.
The Venue charming and elegant and the owner Dana along with her team, especially A.J. could not have made this a more pleasant experience.
The Cater...
er John Serock absolutely FABULOUS!!! we had 200 guests and 3/4 of the guests got Filet. All said " their Filet was cooked to perfection" and was delicious! However, the entire menu and presentation from soup to ice cream was flawless and delightful . My Compliments to the Chefs! The staff was excellent and servers and bartenders could not have been more professional and kind to our guest, all complimented on them. Also our thanks to Violet the coordinator what an amazing job she did in making this day so wonderful and less stressful for us so we could dance the night away with ease and no worries. Violet is a true asset to this catering company. I can not say enough about the venue, staff and John Serock and his company. Thank you!
Serock catering was included with our venue (the barn at Silverstone) and I am SO thankful it was. Not only did we have an abundance of appetizers but Kristy was so helpful the day off! All of the staff made sure my husband and I were taken car...
e of. We have gotten so many complements on food quality and the amount of food options we offered.
Serock catering far exceeded any expectations that we had for food for our wedding day! We booked the Barn at Silverstone and were lucky enough to have Serock catering be the sole caterer for that venue. From day one Kristy, our day of coordina...
tor with Serock, was helpful and answered any and all questions we had! The tasting was phenomenal and she was so thorough in helping us make decisions. The day of she was on the ball and kept the flow of events and the whole day running so smoothly. The staff and bartenders were so friendly and professional. To top it off and most importantly, the food was truly mouth watering. We had multiple guests say that it was the absolute best food they have EVER had at a wedding! From the passed appetizers to the served platters to the ice cream sundae bar with toppings and cookies and brownies, they did not miss a beat. They also took very extreme care to our guests that had various random allergies and were extremely organized in that process. We even got lots of leftovers to take home that we enjoyed back at the hotel and the next day! We are so thankful for Serock and I truly can't recommend them enough.
John Serock Catering exceeded our expectations! John, Violet and the team were so helpful from the day 1 planning to execution on the night of! Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was :). I will definitely be recommending ...
Serock to friends and family with upcoming events.
I cannot say enough how grateful my husband and I were that Loch Aerie (our venue) partners exclusively with John Serock. We honestly felt like we hit the jackpot. John Serock is passionate about their catering, and their food is DELICIOUS! I'v...
e had multiple family members tell me that this was the best wedding food they have ever had.... EVER! And we consider ourselves foodies LOL. They were flexible, creative, and oh so accommodating. I figured out early on that if you want something, just ask and see what they can do- for us it was always a yes. My sister is autistic and needs a pureed diet. They masterfully created separate plates of everything she could eat, and my mom said she absolutely loved it. They also kept checking in to make sure she was ok and to see if they needed anything. How amazing? They also have servers who check on the bridal party during cocktail which was so lovely and helpful.
John Serock is also more than just a caterer. They strategically place event coordinators in the venues they partner with, and those event coordinators stay exclusively at those venues. We had the privilege of working with Violet, and she was AMAZING! She knew our venue (Loch Aerie) inside and out, and all of my needs and questions just got filtered through her for all the logistics of the day. She made everything run so smoothly, and I am forever grateful to her.
From the day my now husband and I got engaged he said we NEED to hire Serock Catering (they work side by side but with different companies). He was NOT wrong. Our wedding was at Loch Aerie Mansion this past September and we could not be more pl...
eased with how our event was handled. I feel like it is a rare occasion when a bride says they have no complaints whatsoever but we don't. From our initial meeting, to the tasting, and all the way through the wedding we were absolutely catered to. All of our requests were responded to and taken care of. The food was PHENOMENAL. And, everything ran so smoothly that we were able to just enjoy our day. John, Violet, as well as the rest of the staff took care of everything for us and went way beyond our expectations... even loading our cars at the end of the night. I seriously can't express with words how wonderful these people are. Not only with what they do but who they are as people. Please, please do not hesitate to hire them. It's been 7 weeks since our wedding and we are still getting compliments on every aspect of our day. Especially the food.

Our wedding day was truly perfect, largely because of Serock, specifically Kiley and her team! They made the process so easy, especially the day of-- I was so happy to be able to just enjoy, because I knew they had everything covered. Before th...
e wedding, they were super responsive and amenable to our (many) requests, and not one detail was missed on the wedding day. Plus, we got rave reviews from our guests about the food! Could not recommend John Serock Catering more highly!
John was an absolutely wonderful caterer! He provided delicious food and fantastic service. He made sure his team supplied us food throughout the many activities on the day of our wedding. We truly are amazed with the quality of service and foo...

We had Serock Catering for our wedding at the Barn at Silverstone and they were amazing!! Their food was delicious and we got so many compliments during our cocktail hour about how good the Hors d'oeuvres were! Kristy, our day of coordinator, w...
as amazing to work with! I felt so at ease all day because she had everything taken care of and was so helpful. Her and Miranda, the venue manager, work together most weekends and let me tell you, they are the DREAM TEAM. They took care of everything from the beginning of the day, to packing up everything into the cars at night. Serock's team was amazing - from the servers, to bartenders, to staff helping clean up at the end of the night - I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything. They took charge and took care of everything! They even sent us home with a few extra dishes for us to enjoy the day after since we didn't eat a ton on the day of the wedding. I cannot recommend Serock Catering enough!!!
My husband and I just got married and Serock Catered our wedding. We booked them over a year in advance without trying any of the food - solely based on reviews and the communication we had with John and his team very early on. I didn’t realize...
how critical finding the right caterer was until I started working with Kiley, our Serock coordinator. I did not have a wedding planner which felt a bit stressful initially. From the moment we had our first meeting with Kiley, I was immediately relieved of some of that pressure. Kiley is amazing!!! She was an excellent communicator, quick to respond and has impeccable attention to detail. She walked us through every step of the process and on the day, executed our wedding vision to absolute perfection! She even packed up our decor at the end of the night and made sure it got in the right vehicles - above and beyond! Not only was Kiley a rockstar but the entire team was wonderful!! We had a server dedicated to us while we were getting photos who was an absolute sweetheart and so attentive. We received many compliments from our guests on the food and the bartenders. Many people have told us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding and we agree! I cannot recommend Serock enough - they are THE BEST!! Thanks Serock for making our wedding day so wonderful!!!
Rachael and all the John Serock Staff were amazing. My guest raved about the food had plenty of people asking for Serock information. Loved how fresh and hot the food was. Racheal was amazing from start to finish one of the best. Also Jessica w...

night, to make sure that we got to enjoy all the food at our wedding! So happy that we went with John Serock!
Serock catering was the best decision we made for our wedding. We thought when we went for our tasting that it was too good to be true but not only were we wrong, Rachael and the Serock team beyond exceeded our expectations. The food was AMAZIN...
G, the service was professional and attentive throughout our whole reception, and Rachael helped us to plan all the important details and ensure everything was perfect on our wedding day. We had an all outdoor reception and were concerned that the quality of food would be affected but our guests raved about everything from cocktail hour to dessert. The pesto tortellini and short rib were actually life changing and our experience with the Serock team from beginning to end couldn’t have been better. Don’t think twice about choosing them for your next event!
John Serock's team was outstanding. I worked with Kristy from the beginning, and she was so great and responsive. They have SO much to choose from as far as food, and cater to all dietary restrictions. Their menu was almost too extensive, to th...
e point where it was so hard to choose our wedding menu because of how many great options there were! After having our tasting, we chose the filet and chicken, as well as a quinoa and vegetable option for our vegetarians/vegans. All 3 were seriously a hit! The guests still rave about the food. We had left overs due to some COVID cancellations, l and all the extra food was boxed up at the end of the wedding and sent home with us. We enjoyed all the extras for the next 2 days before out honeymoon, and gave the rest to our family. The food came out in such a timely manner, and the transitions were seamless. We had our own personal server that came to our sweetheart table and really made sure my husband and I were taken care of the entire night, whether it was food, drinks or water. We chose a dessert bar, instead of cake, and although I did not get to taste of the desserts, the guests all loved the various options to choose from. Highly, highly recommend Serock. It was one of our best vendor decisions!
ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! From the day we did our tasting in December to our wedding in June, I did not stop thinking about the food from Serock Catering. Honestly, someone asked me the day before the wedding what I was most excited for and the foo...
d made it into the top three! They have a great variety of options and every single thing we tried was exceptional. We had many guests tell us after the wedding that it was by far the best wedding food they had ever eaten. I 100% recommend Serock Catering!!!
Cannot rave enough about Serock Catering. We booked with them pre-pandemic and Rachael, our coordinator, was so welcoming, accommodating and kind. She made the whole wedding planning process wonderful.

tastic, with our guests raving about the food still. We loved working with Sarah on the day of, she was so friendly and constantly was checking in on us to make sure we were being looked after and getting all that we could need.
Cannot recommended them enough. Will definitely use them again in the future.
The team at John Serock Catering could not have been more thoughtful and accommodating. They were so helpful during the planning process and always responded quickly. The team on-site for our wedding really went above and beyond. Everyone was m...
ind-bogglingly helpful and genuinely kind. They set up our centerpieces and table numbers and even packed everything up for us at the end of the night.
The food was amazing!! Everyone loved their meals and our families are still raving about them. A family member with celiac was able to eat without issue - Serock is understanding and careful around dietary needs.
We really could not have dreamt up a better team and are grateful for the thought, care, hard work, and talent that everyone brought.
Hire Serock!!!!!!!!
My husband and I got married at The Barn at Silverstone on May 13 and had Serock Catering as the venue’s exclusive caterer. First and foremost, the food was absolutely phenomenal. When we went for our tasting, we both agreed that what we had wa...
s certainly not “wedding food”. Kristy, our day-of coordinator and contact for the tasting, was able to accommodate my picky vegetarian husband and also make sure that I had plenty of delicious meat options to choose from. Although side note to all the meat eaters out there, the butternut squash lasagna is so, so good. We had meat eaters pick it, and they were not disappointed. After attending weddings where the vegetarian option is pretty much an afterthought, my husband was VERY happy to have something he was excited to eat. We had quite a few guests with varying dietary restrictions and Serock was able to accommodate everything - including adding two vegan meals!
We heard from so many people during the wedding and after how great the food was. Obviously I’m biased, but it was truly the best wedding meal - and possibly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the dessert. We selected the warm bread pudding and ice cream bar. If you’re getting married, this is the dessert to choose. It was literally the best thing ever! We added cookies and brownies too and it was so much fun for our guests.
I was so glad The Barn at Siverstone took out all the guesswork and set us up with such a wonderful and professional caterer.
The team at John Serock made sure every detail was planned so that everything went flawlessly on the day of our wedding. The food was delicious and they made sure we both got to enjoy it during our wedding!
Choose John Serock Catering and you will not be disappointed! From the start, Serock was always quick to answer emails or calls. Our included tasting was so delicious and come day of the wedding, the food was just as delicious... I'd say even b...
etter! Our guests are still raving about the food. Kiley was our event manager and she was very helpful. I also loved that the team helped setup and breakdown our decorations. Our wedding was a dream thanks to the help of Serock Catering.
Wonderful experience! We had them cater our wedding at the Barn at Silverstone and it was amazing! Kristy was our coordinator and she and her staff were fantastic! She answered all my questions, help me make changes and even gave me a tipping c...
hart for ALL types of vendors. The food was absolutely perfect. We had a ton of compliments from our guests and a lot of them even said it was the best wedding food they ever had! You definitely get a lot for your money here as well. It is all inclusive and no hidden fees or up charges for things like linens or wait staff. We, as the bride and groom even had attendants to bring us food and drinks through the day, photo hour, and even the reception. I NEVER needed anything. Caitlin (Sorry if this is the wrong spelling) was our server and was an MVP! THANK YOU ALL FOR SUCH A GREAT JOB AND MAGICAL EVENING! It couldn't have been more perfect.
Serock Catering was responsible for our delicious food at our wedding held at The Barn at Silverstone. We got rave reviews from our families and friends. Our passed apps were delicious as was the beautiful charcuterie display. We had the braise...
d beef short rib which was a fan favorite, the salmon which everyone also loved, and the pesto tortellini which was so good. They also have a dessert bar where you can have bread pudding and cobbler among other things — so good! The staff was IMPECCABLE — my mother in law could not stop talking about how special all of the wait staff made her feel. They were efficient, professional, and always available to get a beverage or clear a plate. Their bartenders kept the lines moving and made delicious signature drinks. Last of all, is Kristy Arnold. She is the backbone of this operation and was so amazing to work with! She is organized, kind, responsive, and super helpful. She made so much happen for us! She acted as the day of planner which was amazing ; she kept us on track, from dances to making sure we ate dinner instead of socializing the night away, and getting cake cut, she made sure it happened. She is an absolute rockstar. Book them, you definitely won’t regret it!
I cannot emphasize how amazing our experience with Serock Catering was. From the outset, the food and drinks served at our wedding were really important to us. We had heard so many good things about Serock, but it was purely by chance that we m...
et John at an open house. Once we sampled his food and chatted a bit, we knew he was the caterer we wanted for our day! In fact, we ended up selecting our venue (the Duportail House) in part, because he was listed as one of their preferred vendors. We have NO regrets! We worked with Rachael to create a delicious menu and signature cocktails, and from the initial tasting to the actual day, all of the planning was seamless. Rachael was always super responsive and willing to adjust the menu to suit our needs, and it gave us a lot of peace of mind that their team was familiar with the facilities at our venue. And it was all truly wonderful. Sarah was our day-of coordinator, and she kept everything running seamlessly. Not to mention, she ensured that my husband and I actually got to enjoy food and drinks of our own! Our wedding was in October and, to this day, we still have guests raving about their meals, desserts, and the delicious cocktails that were served. I will now be one of the many people singing the praises of Serock catering, as they helped to make our wedding day truly remarkable.

Beth, thank you so much for these kind words! We are so glad we got the opportunity to work with you and Nathan!
Cheers!

As a hospitality professional and former Chef, we wanted only the best food & service for our daughter’s wedding of 185 guests and John Serock Catering certainly delivered. From initial consultation to menu / agenda development to the day of, i...
t was first-class! Great attentive service, tasty food that was cooked to perfection, plenty of bartenders to keep the drinks flowing, Serock & his team exceeded our family and friends' expectations! Special requests for allergies and all personal details were handled seamlessly and all communications throughout the process were timely and concise. If we could give MORE than FIVE STARS, we would! John Serock…top notch all the way….
Response from the Vendor on 03/09/2022
Patrick, we had so much fun working with your family. What a beautiful day! I think the bartenders arms might still be sore from shaking up all those lavender martinis ;)
Cheers!
Rachael & the Serock Team
What can I say about Serock Catering… just do it! When my husband proposed last December, one of my colleagues immediately recommended John Serock. He catered her wedding a few months prior and she had nothing but great things to say. When I fo...
und out Serock was the exclusive caterer for Loch Aerie Mansion (my dream
venue), I felt like the stars were aligning.
If I could give John and his team more than 5 stars, I would. I know… when I hear people say that I often wonder if they’re exaggerating. Let me tell you, this is NOT an exaggeration. John, Kiley and the entire Serock team were AMAZING. There was not a detail missed!
Everyone raved about their meals. We are still talking about how incredible the food was. They also packed up the leftovers, so we got to enjoy them afterwards. My husband and I didn’t get a chance to try all the appetizers or cannoli bar, so we were pretty psyched to try everything the next day. It was such a nice treat! I also have to say the way everything was presented, from start to end, was perfect.
I could go on and on about the food, but I need to mention the people behind the food as well. John was a pleasure to work with. He was easy to talk to, extremely responsive to emails, enthusiastic and provided a sense of calm throughout the entire planning process. Kiley, our day of coordinator, was so sweet and super helpful, not just the day of the wedding, but in the weeks leading up to it as well. She did a fantastic job making sure everything ran smoothly and went as planned. All the servers and bartenders were also top notch.
Thank you John, Kiley and the entire Serock team for a fabulous day. We didn’t worry about a thing because you guys had it covered. We are so happy that you were a part of our magical day. You are an incredible team!
We had the most wonderful experience working with John Serock for our wedding this past September. From the moment we booked, we knew we were in good hands. Kristy guided us expertly through the planning process, and she made sure our tasting w...
as both productive and fun! The food at our wedding was truly delicious and received so many compliments from our guests! I also want to note that we experienced a family emergency in the days leading up to our wedding. As we struggled to finalize our plans, the entire team at John Serock, Kristy in particular, treated us with so much kindness. I know they went *above and beyond* to make sure our wedding went smoothly despite the circumstances. Based on our experience, I can say that the team at John Serock approaches weddings professionally and with genuine care. My husband chose this vendor; he had a great feeling from the start - based on reviews, menu options, and email exchanges. I want to send our sincere gratitude to Kristy and John for everything they did to help us during a challenging time. In the end, the wedding was beautiful and the food was phenomenal, and we owe this to our vendors and the team at John Serock.

I would highly recommend Kristy and the rest of the Serock Catering team. Top-notch does not even begin to explain how amazing our experience was working with Serock. Truthfully, all of our family and friends could not have said better things a...
bout the food and service they received throughout the entire night. We had a glass spill on the dance floor, and within seconds one of the Serock servers was there to take care of it.
While our experience with the entire Serock Catering team was incredible, we would be totally remiss without shouting out how critical having Kristy was to the success of our day. Kristy brought comfort, expertise, and passion for her craft to ensure that Marissa and I had the best day possible! In addition to making sure the catering side of things was taken care of, Kristy also was our day of coordinator. From the start of our day, Kristy made sure that our day went seamlessly and was beyond attentive to not only our needs but also all of our guests.
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Cassdiy and Sarah of John Serock Catering for our wedding. Because of the pandemic, our wedding had 3 different dates and we had to hustle to find a caterer that was available, attentive, affordable,...
and most importantly serving up delicious food. We were introduced to Serock Catering through our venue and immediately felt a connection with Cassidy when we connected over the phone and through the millions of emails that we exchanged. What sealed the deal for us was not only the connection we had with Cassidy but the fact that they assigned us a server, who we would know on a first name basis for our wedding day. This was the only catering company to offer us something like this. Cassidy and Sarah both were patient with us as we went through the process of choosing napkins, tablecloths, apps, and our signature drink. The signature, mind you, was an absolute hit and our family has been working to recreate this cocktail throughout the summer.
And on the day of, they were incredible. They were attentive, understanding, and most importantly patient. Even when it began pouring halfway through our dance party and the bar had to be moved indoors, they did so with ease and good humor. They are truly an easy catering company to work with and we felt very comfortable and safe working with them. We cannot recommend John Serock Catering enough.

Kristy was also our day of coordinator and made sure our entire day was perfect from start to finish. The day was seamless because of her and the relationship John Serock Catering has with our venue. We are so thankful to have worked with them!
We could not recommend John Serock and his team enough! My husband and I were married at Loch Aerie Mansion on September 5, 2021. John served as both the head caterer and event coordinator. After multiple years of planning and rescheduling due ...
to COVID, we were finally able to have our dream wedding. John and his team made the day run effortlessly. We were supposed to have an outdoor ceremony and it rained at the last minute. We decided to move the ceremony indoors and the transition to an indoor ceremony was seamless! John made the planning process fun and personalized. My husband and I come from multicultural backgrounds and the food at our wedding was phenomenal (traditional American and Indian stations). John personally made sure at our reception that my husband and I were able to try all of the food and we were never hungry! All of our guests raved about the food, service, attention to detail, and caring nature of the entire team. We will continue to use John Serock for future events and highly recommend his team!
We had our September wedding at the Barn at Silverstone. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Serock. Kristy was our coordinator and she is THE BEST. She made every part of the planning process a breeze from start to finish. They have a ...
HUGE menu of choices and add ons. We did not have one thing we did not thoroughly enjoy from apps to dessert. Everyone raved at our wedding about how amazing the food was- even to say they have never seen so many cleared plates. The servers and bartenders were also amazing and attentive all night. Serock does not disappoint!!
Serock did an amazing job for our wedding at The Washington at Historic Yellow Springs.

John Serock Catering was the perfect caterer for our wedding!! From the beginning, we had great communication with the coordinators and our entire planning process with this company was so easy. Jenny was so helpful and organized leading up to ...
and on the day of the wedding. And the food was the BEST. Our guests continue to rave about everything from the cocktail hour to the dessert. Serock provides so many options to choose from and there truly is something for everyone -- they also do an awesome job making sure to accommodate and look out for anyone with food allergies or sensitivities. We were so impressed with John Serock Catering and the whole team. Highly recommend! :)
Multi-cultural, vegetarian, meat and potato lovers - you name it and we needed to consider it! And, John Serock was the perfect person to make the magic happen! Our daughter, Ashlee and her husband, Raj, had planned, postponed, rescheduled and ...
reimagined over the past two years. John never made us feel that the changes were a problem and his reassurance was more than comforting. When it came to choosing a menu for the reception, we knew that we needed to offer Indian cuisine as well as more traditional fare. Raj’s mother, Shantha, is an excellent cook who has published Indian cookbooks and has very high standards. She, and all of the Indian food lovers, gave the Serock staff rave reviews! We had stations at the reception and it gave everyone a chance to sample multiple items. As much as the Indian food was a hit, the salmon was “to die for” according to many guests. The hors-d’oeuvres were delicious and fun! There was something for everyone, including the youngest guests.The charcuterie board was beautiful, the signature drinks were delicious and the gelato bar was over the top! After hours of non-stop dancing, the coolness of the gelato was the perfect touch -finished off with an assortment of great toppings! What is wedding cake without gelato and D’Ascenzo’s has the best! Ohhh, the mint! And, if that wasn’t enough, we were surprised with delicious fresh baked cookies as we left Loch Aerie. John Serock is not only an excellent caterer, he is a terrific man! Ten minutes before our outdoor ceremony was to begin, the skies opened up and John and his team seamlessly moved us indoors, John escorted the bride through the rain, under a huge umbrella so that she could make an “entrance”. Every little hiccup was handled by John, his team and the Loch Aerie staff, especially A.J. Some of the comments that we received from guests included: “The best wedding - ever” “Simply elegant” “Delicious food, decadent desserts and down and dirty dancing!”
We all give Serock Catering the highest possible review - 10 stars!
Thank you so so much to Serock Catering for helping us have the perfect wedding day!! Our wedding was so magical and all that we ever could have dreamed of and more!! We truly could not have done it without Serock and Rachael.
All of our guests...
have come back to us with so many compliments on the food from every stage of the evening. One of our guests even had 6 of the key lime pie mini desserts and 4 s'mores for desserts they were so good!! The appetizers, dinner and dessert were delicious and beautifully served. Not only did Serock give us delicious food with attentive service, they created picture perfect cocktail hour, dessert stations and place settings that delighted our guests. We would recommend them as a caterer a 1000x over!
We worked with Rachel from Serock Catering for a recent wedding on 9/11/2021. From the first consultation, to the end of the event, John Serock was absolute perfection.
Rachel was communicative, friendly, and ever so helpful. She was willing ...
to answer ALL of our questions, talk us through the process of choosing meals, setting up the day, and providing us feedback for our choices/ideas. She was outstanding.
Now onto the food, it was THE BEST wedding food we've ever had. We chose scallops, short rib and chicken for dinner options and all were cooked perfectly. We are huge foodies, as a many of our guests, and everyone raved about the food. Scallops were tender, short rib fell of the bone, chicken was moist and seared. It was all so so mouthwateringly good. They also have a ton of slightly unique options which we appreciated. The appetizers were fun and delicious.
Finally, THEIR WAITSTAFF. Wow, what an incredible group of servers. Covid has affected every industry and the fact that they were still able to carry out impeccable service the entire night was impressive. The bartenders were friendly and quick to make well-prepared cocktails.
I honestly can't say enough. JOHN SEROCK IS THE BEST!!!
John and the rest of the Serock catering team were absolutely phenomenal. The food was delicious and received countless compliments, the waitstaff was polite, professional, and attentive (I never had to wait longer than a minute or so before a ...
fresh drink was delivered to me without even asking!), and the planning process was incredibly low-stress.
We planned (and re-planned) our wedding during COVID from a different state, and the Serock team was incredibly flexible with our limited time in PA to coordinate pick ups for food tastings.
Cassidy is quite possibly the main reason our wedding ran as smoothly as it did. She answered all of my countless questions in the months leading up to the wedding, coordinated all of our decor set up and tear down, and even had someone run out for white wine when we realized far too late that our beverage distributor had given us the wrong alcohol.
Every detail was truly thought about, and no box was left unchecked - thank you!
The best decision I made during the wedding planning process, maybe in my entire life, was to hire John Serock catering. I knew we were in good hands when one of my other vendors told us they call him the wedding guru lo. He TOTALLY lived up to...
the name.
Not only was the food delicious at the tasting as well as night-of (seriously people were raving during, and I’ve gotten multiple texts and emails asking for our caterer’s name in the days following), but John was the epitome of patience and professionalism throughout the 3+ years it took us to actually walk down the aisle. (My first email to John was 8/2/18 and due to Covid, our ACTUAL wedding date was 8/7/21 lol).
John himself is extremely knowledgeable about all things wedding, as well as all types of bar and cuisine concerns and his staff were just LOVELY through and through. Do yourself a favor and hire John Serock Catering for your wedding or big event.
Everyone always talks about their wedding food being good during their tasting, but I found very few people end up with good food prepared and mass quantity for their reception. Serock catering was absolutely the exception to that rule. We hear...
d from so many of our guests that went out of their way to complement the quality of the food including one friend who is a professional chef. But the food is just the beginning of the serock experience. We used them at appleford for our reception, so they were also the event planner. They were incredible, and worked so hard to accommodate us when we had some Covid related challenges. They were hands-down worth every penny and went out of their way to make sure that we had a great experience. Great food, great team, great attitudes, they are all around a great catering company. Thanks John for both you and your team’s hard work leading up to and during our reception!!!

oing because those nerves went away extremely fast! The food is unbelievably delicious. All of our wedding guests are still raving about it to this day. And the fact that they wrapped us up to-go boxes of every appetizer, station meal, and all 3 entrees we had was amazing. Kristy was our day of coordinator and honestly our savior. She was so easy to communicate with, answered all our questions, and we would've been a mess without her the day of our wedding. The staff was so nice and helpful, including the server who was assigned to us (a nice perk). I wish I could give 10 stars for how amazing everything went. Thank you Kristy, thank you Serock! I will dream of your delicious food forever haha.
My husband and I along with our parents could not recommend John and his team enough. As a bride who had to push their original wedding date because of covid, John was there every step of the way and provided unparalleled support and guidance ...
through everything for wedding last month. Our reception went better than we could've ever hoped for and our guests still rave about the food! We consider John a good friend now and hope to use him for future events! Don't hesitate to book him for yours!
My sister used John Serock for her wedding and I got ridiculously lucky that they were available for my last minute wedding! Rachael was specifically incredible in helping our big day run so smoothly. I designed all of the florals myself, and s...
he went above and beyond to make sure all of the decorations and florals were set up according to my description. Not only that, but she also coordinated everyone, down to spacing out my bridesmaids evenly as they walked down the aisle. The entire day was a breeze thanks to her and the John Serock team. Not to mention, the food was INCREDIBLE and received so many compliments the entire night (especially the short rib!). My only regret was forgetting to take the leftovers from my dad's house! Thank you so so much Rachael and the John Serock team who assisted at my wedding!

Heather, I am so happy we were able to be apart of your special day! Who says you can't plan a wedding in two months? It was a beautiful day. Congratulations again to you and Christopher!
Cheers!
Rachael & the Serock Team
John Serock was the best choice we could have made for our wedding. We worked directly with Kristy and from our tasting to our final meeting, anytime we had a question, no matter how big or how small, she was ready and willing to help answer! ...
John Serock also took care of all the linens, which looked fabulous in our location. But what really solidified them as a top notch vendor to us was that even though our wedding was in June 2021, they were extremely accommodating to us changing our guest total so late in the game due to COVID.
Our only minor criticism would be the time it took between salads and entrees. My husband and I felt it was a little longer than normal, but when later talking to our guests they all advised that they didn't even notice and it gave them time to go get another drink!
Overall, the food is amazing (get the dumpling appetizers!), the presentation was on point, and the service from both Kristy beforehand, and the staff the day of was uncomparable. You can tell the pride everyone took in working for John Serock and it really showed both in service and in the food. Please, book them for your wedding or event!
As soon as we met with Kristy (and tasted the amazing appetizers) we were sold on Serock. They do so much more than food. Our linens and plating were on point, Kristy basically became another wedding coordinator and was there all day helping ou...
t with anything and everything (like umbrellas when it started to rain before our ceremony). We ended up deciding to postpone our wedding to a Thursday and they worked with us and kept us positive and organized through that postponed year. We are all about the cocktail hour and ended up having to get family pictures after the ceremony due to weather and the Serock team had two servers bring us drinks and apps and cater to us so we didn’t miss out. They also had teams waiting with drinks on trays to take after our guests just got rained on during the ceremony which everyone loved. Everything was so amazing and we couldn’t be happier with the food, service and everything Serock did for us!
I cannot recommend John Serock more highly. They made our wedding day a true dream come true. Communication leading up to our day was super fast and informative starting from our first conversation. John helped us think about every detail neces...
sary to have a great celebration and executed it perfectly. Guests have still been raving to us about how the food was the best they’ve ever had at a wedding and we agree! When we weren’t able to try all the appetizers during our cocktail hour and desserts at our reception since we were so busy greeting guests, John and his team packed up boxes of everything for us to take home. It was such a thoughtful touch! Our servers were so friendly and made sure we always had drinks and snacks. Hiring John Serock was the best decision we made in all of our wedding planning!
We have nothing but great things to say about John Serock Catering and their entire team. Cassidy, Rachael and John were all excellent throughout the entire process. Due to restrictions in the state, we were forced to change our wedding date ...
several times, and we also had to make a last minute change in venue. The team at John Serock was with us the entire time, they were incredibly flexible and always accomodating. The food was incredible; I can tell you that every guest remarked on the high quality delectable food, everything from the unique hor d'oeuvres to the incredible duck and short rib entrees. They took the time to cater to our specific requests, and consistently impressed us with the final product. We would highly recommend John Serock catering for any of your special events!
The best ever. We don’t even know where to begin with this review. John Serock Catering was the highlight of our wedding. John makes you feel like a close friend or family and is so invested into making your day perfect. Rachael, our coordinato...
r, was absolutely outstanding and went above and beyond to make the entire process a breeze. She was incredibly responsive and makes you feel like you are her only priority. From the second we met John, Rachael and the Serock team at our tasting we knew we couldn’t go wrong. Their food is arguably better than many 5-star restaurants in the Philadelphia area and the presentation of it is beautiful and our guests could not stop raving about it. A perfect example of John going above and beyond - we had asked them if they could serve limoncello at the end of the night if we provided it. . without any hesitation, John offered to make homemade limoncello for us and serve it at the wedding. Their willingness to work with you and create your “perfect day” is unparalleled. Look no further if you have the opportunity to book with John Serock Catering - you will have no regrets. THANK YOU SEROCK TEAM!!

We contracted with John Serock Catering for our daughter's recent wedding at Appleford in Villanova and they were just terrific. We loved the menu options and everything was beautifully presented and very tasty. The staff were excellent as we...
ll. Working with Cassidy was a pleasure. She was calm, patient, attentive, quite knowledgeable, and very responsive to our questions and concerns. I'd use Serock Catering again without hesitation.

We had to change venues because of Covid and were so lucky to find John Serock Catering to cater our wedding at Appleford Estate in Villanova!
From the very start we felt so grateful to have such a responsive and helpful catering team! Cassid...
y was an angel who helped with absolutely everything. I asked her opinion on seating to decorations to food options. She basically acted as my wedding planner and I am forever grateful! She also was so calm, cool, and collected at all times. Even when it was going to thunderstorm and pretty much change every plan we had for the set up for the day she was so calm and made me feel confident that everything would be amazing. Thank you so much Cassidy!! You were such a calming presence throughout the planning process and the day of!
Also the food was so good! We went for our tasting and were seriously blown away by the food! The catering team the day of was so awesome and we had our own server who made sure we had some food and a drink in hand at all times. I am kicking myself for not knowing her name but thank you to all the servers! It seriously was an amazing experience from start to finish and we would recommend the entire John Serock team to anyone getting married!
