We knew going into our wedding that we wanted food that was memorable, not meh. And we GOT THAT with Jonathan. At our tasting we knew immediately that was exactly what we wanted and on our wedding day (yesterday!!) we had just about every single guest coming up to us raving about how delicious their meal was. We did chicken Marsala, maple walnut salmon, and prime rib for our entrees with baked pasta, mushrooms and zucchini, and garlic green beans for our sides and everything was phenomenal. The cocktail hour food was great!! I cannot recommend enough!! He was so easy to work with, and made sure at the tasting he gave a realistic preparation to how it would be day of which I hadn't seen others do.

Our wedding tasting was such a great experience. The food was outstanding, and Jonathan was unbelievably kind and generous. He’s very responsive, and accommodating is truly an understatement. If you want flexibility and the freedom to have exactly what you want, this is the company to go with—Jonathan will make just about anything you can imagine. The possibilities truly feel endless and the value for what you get is outstanding. This experience has made my fiancé and I even more excited for our wedding. Thank you!

Had the pleasure of hiring JT Catering for our wedding on nine 2025, Let me tell you he did not disappoint.. The food was amazing! They were extremely easy to work with, commun...
icate with, and were very professional. Our guests are still raving about our appetizers at cocktail hour and their dinner meal! Something I didn’t think about when having a barn as our venue was that there is no kitchen… That was not a problem for JT! Our food was hot and ready and tasted identical to our food during our tasting.. I had to add kids meals last minute.. Again, no problem. He could not have been more accommodating. I will continue to recommend this company to everyone and will for sure be a repeat customer!

o provide what we needed. The event took place on a yacht docked at the Pgh Convention Center Wharf on a particularly busy weekend in Pittsburgh. We did not request that the caterer remain on board, but The food was delivered ON TIME, HOT, in disposable pans, and DELICIOUS! We had more than enough food for about 60 guests. The cost was affordable and Jonathan provided a great service.

My husband and I are so happy we decided to go with JT Catering for our wedding reception (March 2025). It was such a big relief that we found someone who didn't hide prices or any...
thing and was very upfront about the cost of everything and what they were capable of. We had inquired to a few other places who ended up having additional costs to things that weren't listed or talked about initially so we were very happy to be recommended JR Catering. The friends who recommended them had raved about how delicious the food was and we weren't disappointed! We had such a wonderful experience and Jonathan was very professional and honest when we met and talked with him. He worked with us on our vision and gave plenty of ideas for things we could have for our menu, which was helpful because we didn't have much of an idea of what we wanted. Further, Jonathan was very helpful and always answered our questions when we had them. I recommend him very highly and don't have a doubt about who I'd call for another catering opportunity because we loved his food. We had BBQ on our menu and his smoked pork was so delicious!

s. The staff was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure my guests and I had a memorable experience. Let’s just say my entire family left that day and raved about the food for weeks!!
My sister also used him for her wedding back in 2019 and her guests were just as thrilled then too!
Not only did Chef Jonathan cater to all of my requests, but he also offered amazing options that made my entire event feel complete! The entire experience was a dream and I’m so grateful for his exceptional service.
I highly recommend JT catering for anyone looking for amazing catering. I will be using their services again for future events. 5 stars all around!⭐️

From start to finish Chef Jonathan made the process of our event care free, and could focus on other details for our day. Having concerns about food because our barn style venue h...
ad no kitchen or anything concerning the food, and after a meeting with Chef & the Chef visiting the venue we sat down and discussed everything and all our wants and needs were accomplished. I will say through the process we never even thought about the venue and what possible menu restrictions could come in to play, especially being an August wedding with no AC. Chef brought to our attention things that, honestly we never even thought about that would be a problem.
We ultimately decided on a BBQ style menu for our 260 guests & everyone was delighted. If you’re looking for something home made and very reasonably priced compared to others with all their added “fees” Chef can accommodate your needs.
Too wrap things up, overall we were very pleased with our entire experience and actually learned about food through the process thanks to Chef. Come to find after our event we discovered that the Chef is a graduate of the prestigious “The Culinary Institute of America” in Hyde Park, New York. Which in the end, honestly explained a lot about his approach made our event special and carefree, and memorable through food. Thank you Chef & staff at JT Catering Company we look forward to using you again in the future.
