ding with a buffet and servers who walk around with appetizers. It will give you a great idea of how McFadden and his crew work together and just how delicious his food is. Certainly the most reasonably priced caterer I had seen and will even create food items that he doesn’t have on his set menu. As for the actual wedding day, everything was absolutely perfect, literally no complaints. Kevin and Debbie were great during the whole process, answered all my neurotic questions and helped guide us through the planning. Kevin and our maĆ®tre d’, Michelle, were there for us at every turn on wedding day - so considerate, helpful and anticipated all of our needs. We received so many compliments on the food, the bar service, all of the other staff and especially the decor. Michelle set up our sweet heart table beautifully! They truly helped make what many of our guests have described as "the best wedding ever!" Can’t thank them enough!!!

There was a possibility of rain that day but Kevin and Mike (the maƮtre de) was able to quickly move chairs and furniture around to make our dream of having the ceremony outside a reality. Kevin really let us take the space and make it our own with lanterns, furniture, and decorations. The butlered hors d'oeuvres were fantastic! The servers were quick and able to feed all the guests! We had many guests say anytime they turned around there was always another food to try out! The reception was amazing, the food was great and the servers were quick. Kevin was super accommodating with special request for some of our vegan guests and guests with allergies. The bartenders were fantastic! They were fun and quick to make the drinks. Our guests had an incredible time. Mike was on point the entire night as our maitre'd. We want to thank Kevin and the entire Lakeside Manor staff for making our wedding day the most fun and beautiful day of our lives.

ys a staff whose goal is to make your wedding day run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Mike - our maƮtre d' - was especially attentive and ensured my husband and I were never without food or drink, if we wanted it. We never had to ask. The staff helped pack up our belongings at the end of the night and were happy and polite while doing so. Kevin worked with us on every aspect of our event, and allowed me to create a menu of my own. He responded to many emails and phone calls in a timely and friendly manner. The food at the wedding was delicious. Our guests still comment on how impressed they were. The quality of the food served at our wedding far surpassed the food served at the group tastings Kevin holds throughout the year. We had a sit-down dinner but did not want our guests sitting through a long and drawn out dinner service. The staff was very efficient in serving and clearing all courses as we requested, while at the same time not rushing the guests. In sum, we absolutely recommend McFadden's for your catering needs. We could not be happier with our experience and are grateful to have found a caterer who cared as much about our special day as we did. Five stars all around.

At the end of the 4-5 hours our kitchen was clean and all leftovers were put in the refrigerator. I couldn't have asked for a better team. The food was outstanding and enjoyed by all!!! Our plan is to have an annual anniversary party in our backyard. Next year we may have a pig roast. Thank you McFadden Catering!!! Kindly, Alice & Mike

ngs, but also a personalized tasting as well. Kevin and the staff will create whatever dish you like and all of our add-ons were also reasonably price (we added shrimp cocktail to our cocktail hour and lamb chop lollipops to our meat station for dinner). I can honestly say, the food was a hit! Our guests raved about it, and my husband and I were so sad when our leftovers were gone. Aside from the food, we have many beautiful outdoor photos on the lake and in the surrounding wooded areas. This was a definite plus. We happened to have a gorgeous day weather-wise, but it wasn't looking like that would be the case, but I never worried because there were indoor ceremony accommodations if needed (luckily they weren't!). I was a little nervous leading up to the wedding because things change so suddenly that last week (guest numbers change, etc) but it was definitely helpful that Kevin is readily available via phone or email. The office staff were very helpful as well especially as final counts were coming in and final payments were being made. I would definitely recommend this venue to any bride who wants great food, gorgeous scenery, and guidance at an affordable price.

simply incredible! Kevin worked with our budget to make our day truly what we wanted it to be and even let us bring in some of our own desserts. I am originally from Philadelphia, but was living in Colorado when planning our wedding and Kevin was so quick to take any of my phone calls, emails and text messages..even if it was something silly, which I really appreciated. The wedding ceremony and reception themselves went off without a hitch. They provide you with a personal "maitre d" (who was awesome) who helped run everything smoothly and made the moms and grandmoms feel super comfortable too, which was so important! The food was great, the bartenders were great (they even helped make my "signature drink" better--and people were asking me what was in it for the next week bc they loved it). The site itself is beautiful being right on the lake (our pictures came out great) and our guests enjoyed being able to be inside or outside. I was a total DIY bride, so its also a great space to make your own! Thank you Lakeside Manor for making our special day more than we could have ever asked for!

nd were immensely helpful. Kevin was always available to us by phone or email, up to and including the day of the wedding. He was excited and passionate about making sure we had everything the way we wanted. Mike, Michelle, and our bartender Mike B. we're all equally exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional. We can not say enough about the location, the food, and the how accommodating everyone at Lakeside Manor was. Kevin allowed us to make major changes to our menu, and they came out amazing. Every attendee of our wedding raved about the food, notably the Tortellini in Champagne Cream Sauce. One of the most remarkable features of the Lakeside Manor was the scenery outside. Kevin allowed us to bring a small enclosed fire pit for our outdoors smores bar, and it was amazing! At some points in the night there were more people outside enjoying the scenery, a tasty smore, or a premium cigar, then there were inside! All in all Kevin made an otherwise crazy to plan event fairly smooth. We were allowed time to setup, he was on the ball with any detail that he could handle, and really took care of us. He's energetic, excited, passionate, and maybe (just a little) eccentric. But it's that classy kind of eccentric of an artist, or anyone clearly passionate about what they do. We certainly recommend Lakeside Manor, and we will absolutely make use of their services again in the future. Their website said something about a pig roast, and that just sounds like a good time. If you're in Southern New Jersey and want to have a great time, with great scenery, and amazing food; there's really no other option than Lakeside Manor.

his staff were extremely flexible with costs, helping us achieve our goals of the perfect wedding on a very tight budget. Kevin and his staff were so on top of things that I didn't even know that guests arrived way early so the food and alcohol had to be ready to go... and they WERE! Guests were not aware that there was a quick scramble to accommodate them because Kevin and his staff didn't even hesitate! The location is beyond gorgeous with the lake and the old Paint Works stacks allowing for incredible pictures and an incredible view. Even the "tent" has character in that it gives the outdoor feel but still has all of the perks of an indoor venue such as air conditioning, a key element for a late June wedding! I recommend McFadden Catering for their spectacular food and service, and Lakeside Manor for the perfect venue. 10 + STARS!!!

I asked multiple people how the food was, everyone has said the food was great and hot, I was worried about the food getting cold since it was a buffet, but it did not. All the staff was very nice and all congratulated me and commented on how nice the wedding was. To me that showed they truly enjoy what they do and very happy to be part of our big day.

We got married in Stone Harbor NJ in June. We met with a few caterers that were willing to travel, and McFadden's Catering was by far the most reasonably priced. While their prices were low, the quality was still great. All of our guests rave...
d about the food. Kevin & his staff were all extremely professional, and were able to accomodate our reception of 225+ Kevin was very communicative with us during the process & was phenomenal on the day of the wedding! He kept my wife & I sane during a stressful process I would strongly recommend using McFadden's Catering, whether at the Lakeside Manor, or for an off-side wedding

I can state that this venue is the best there is Kevin is an awesome person he and his staff worked with me when the venue that I had before charged more money and you got less. Where Kevin and staff made my day very special. And I have to give...
him and the staff more then a 5 star rating because anything that the bridal party mainly the Bride and Groom needed they were there to assist and the food the Roast Beef melted in your mouth the Tortellini was just as an old great great great Grandma straight off the boat would make I know I am second generation Italian Sicilian born here in America my Dad the first. I would recommend to any bride that is getting married and lives in New Jersey Pennsylvania New York and even Maryland and Delaware to use this place The satin lined tent the special linen everything they really make you feel at home like a family member I was rereading about the review thing and I have to say that my review is not bogus he was an honest to goodness last minute 3 months before my wedding when the last venue turned out to be not what people reviewed about But This place Lakeside Manor and Kevin McFadden likes to be very honest and he will recommend places and things he also followed our dietary needs with Heart, Kidney, Cancer and High Blood Pressure needs. His staff you can't help but hug and thank so much and Kevin will make sure that everything is right cause its your special day. Kevin McFadden and Lakeside Manor is a great place for ceremony and reception can't wait to send them pictures and how Happy they made my Husband and I

This half-tent, half-building venue sitting behind a beautiful lake is truly a hidden treasure! The grounds are well kept and the tent is amazing as it allows you to open up 1/4 of the flaps so that the inside spills outside on the patio. We ...
chose it because we wanted an outdoor feel, but without assuming the risk of inclement weather. This place was perfect in EVERY way! I found it by accident when I saw that McFaddens' was one of the caterer choices for another venue. As I was looking at their menu, I saw that their home base was in Gibbsboro and I fell in love as soon as I saw it. The owner is very flexible with what he will allow you to create in his space. He has tastefully decorated giving you the option to do very little, yet kept things simple enough that you can go crazy with decorations as well. Lots of options, reasonable prices and good food too!

vides with a person who was MIA the entire night and did not do a thing. His staff was beyond unprofessional. I SET UP MY OWN WEDDING BECAUSE THE STAFF WAS NOT PRESENT TWO HOURS BEFORE THE WEDDING. MIND YOU GUESTS WERE SHOWING UP! How humiliating. On top of that, before I walked down the aisle Kevin had the audacity to approach me and tell me there was no cake order. Why not tell the maid of honor, or a bridesmaid or anyone else? THE BRIDE HE TELLS, RIGHT BEFORE SHE WALKS DOWN THE AISLE! Disorganized, a liar and by far the WORST service ever. Do not get married here!

Kevin McFadden, the owner of Lakeside Manor is just great! He works well with his costumers and tries his best to work with what you desire for your wedding. The facility itself is great. It is a half tent and building structure that gives you ...
the feel that you are having a tented wedding reception. The location is right next to a lake, great for pictures. A decent amount of plants and flowers were planted in the garden area, so if you did not want to spend more on flowers, you would not have to. It is easy to get to, plenty of parking. Cocktail hour was great. With his buffet lines he was able to serve 320 in half an hour! Two thumbs up! Would definitely recommend this venue to someone else.

customize everything. The cake is included, which is great. Everyone raved about our wedding and said how beautiful the venue was. Michael, our maitre d', was amazing. He made sure throughout the entire night that I was ok and didn't need anything. Our bartenders were amazing! People didn't even have to ask for drinks. Once the bartenders saw them, they remembered and prepared each persons drink ASAP. Many people told us that the bartenders were unbelievably great. I would definitely recommend Lakeside Manor.
