Mountain Laurel Catering & Events

Our rep, Ally, was absolutely amazing to work with and so patient with us as we were trying to decide our meal selections and table layouts. Day of services at the wedding were fantastic. They were attentive and kind, making sure that not only just me and my husband, but all of our guests and VIPs were cared for the entire day. The food was outstanding, and we're still receiving compliments from all of our friends and family. We also used Mountain Laurel for our wedding cake and dessert, and it was delicious! Cannot recommend them enough. They really go the extra mile above other catering companies that I've encountered at other weddings.

ngs. I had multiple issues last minute during my wedding month with guests dropping out of the wedding and they always were there to help me, and always were flexible with me allowing my day to be a success. Their organization keeps your wedding on the perfect timeline and I never felt confused or unclear with what I needed to do. All of my guests raved about their food, their incredible bartenders and drink service. Everyone said that they never were waiting for food and nobody left hungry! They brought trays of food for my husband and I and we never felt underfed ourselves throughout our wedding day. They are an incredible company and I would recommend them to anyone!

it was the best food they had been served at a wedding ever! We also utilized their bartending staff and heard great things from our guests about them! Meanwhile the other employees were so mindful of me that I didn’t even need to go to the bar, they were willing to bring me a drink wherever I was. If I had had the time, I would have gone around and thanked every employee individually because of how impressed we were.

t a time that worked and responded to all our emails incredibly quickly. No question or comment was too small. When the day itself came, the food was amazing and guests couldn’t stop commenting. They made sure that we were eating and well taken care of, as well as all of our guests. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

mbers were kind, friendly, and efficent. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was! I would suggest hiring them for your wedding or event!

mouth… Compliments to your amazing chef! Thank you for your professionalism!

ations, butlered appetizers, a charcuterie table, dinner, and desserts! At the wedding itself, their staff were incredibly kind and helpful and made sure the wedding party got to enjoy all the cocktail goodies as well. 10/10 recommend!

hoose from was WILD. They gave us really good advice to help us finalize the menu! It was DELISIOUS. To this day, our friends still talk about our apps. The GRILLED CHEESE AND TOMATO SOUP SHOOTERS really stole the show! My husband and I are HUGE foodies and they did not disappoint one bit! They even brought apps and drinks to my fam/bridal party after the ceremony as we took pictures so we didn't miss a thing. The service was truly above and beyond every step of the way. All of the tables and ancillary tables look amazing. They were so easy to work with, super responsive, and very kind. 1000000000% recommend to anyone! Jess Mosser IS THE BEST.

needs and preferences. They did a great job of making sure that the menu overall reflected our story. The presentation of the food at the wedding was beautiful, and the service was top notch. We were blown away by how attentive the staff was to us and our guests throughout the evening, as well as their ability to cater towards multiple different dietary restrictions. We couldn't have asked for a better caterer for our special day. Thank you, Mountain Laurel Catering, for making our wedding unforgettable!

e “typical” wedding food. We wanted people to be full and satisfied when hitting the dance floor. Mountain Laurel knew exactly how to do that. All of our guests were amazed with the different entree options that they had - the Short Ribs are still being talked about in households up and down the east coast. Everyone tells you to remember to eat on your wedding day and Mountain Laurel made sure of that! They brought us our own separate tray of hors d'oeuvres that we ate before meeting our guests in cocktail hour. When it came to dinner, they made sure that we had our meals first and kept checking in on us to make sure we were well fed. We are so grateful and happy that mountain laurel was apart of our special day! Jess Moser was amazing through the whole process from start to finish and made sure our vision came true!

ny of the amazing food. They even delivered us a plate of the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres while we were taking pictures. The food was incredible!!! Our wedding was about a month ago and guests still tell us how much they loved all of the food at our wedding. We are so thankful for everything they did to make our day amazing, and we can’t recommend them enough!!

the short ribs and our grilled cheese shooter appetizer. The fact that people raved about it days later, you know it's good! They were extremely accommodating to allergies and dietary restrictions as well. I'm vegan as well as a few of our guests and there weren't any problems finding appetizer and meal options in their vast menu to accommodate. As well, they were able to tweak individual plates based on allergies. Our guests really appreciated this. Ally was great to work with. Although some communication took a few days to hear from her (months out from our date not days out), once we heard from her, she was super accommodating with all our requests as we changed the menu more than a few times up until two weeks prior to the wedding. The main problem we had came from the Bartenders. If we could give just the bartenders 0 stars we probably would. We had signature cocktails for our wedding in which we practiced and perfected the recipes at home a dozen times prior to providing them with the recipes. The alcohol quantity we had purchased was based on them following our recipes and using the amount of alcohol per cocktail we had instructed. We did not have liquor available for guests outside of the two cocktails to chose from. The Bartenders decided to use their own recipes and ignore everything we had set out for them. They over poured everything to the point that they ran out of liquor just after dinner service, meaning that guests could not get cocktails following dinner or the rest of the evening. Most of our additional ingredients, however, were returned to us (bitters, simple syrup) as if they hadn't used them at all and just poured straight liquor into our drinks. We also had a few guests tell us that the Bartenders were complaining to them (our guests!) about us and running out of alcohol. It was extremely unprofessional and not something a bride and groom want to hear. We happened to attend a wedding two weeks after ours in which MLC also catered and we saw the same problems from the Bartenders. Their signature cocktails were not executed how intended, the liquor drinks were filled to the brim with liquor with barely a splash of mixer, old fashioneds were made with club soda, and the one male bartender was complaining to us about not knowing how to make the cocktails. If it were possible to have outside bartenders, MLC would be a 5 star vendor. However, our terrible experience with the bartenders brings down their rating in our opinion.

n's name to shout them out and thank them personally, but I did get Tyler's and he was beyond incredible. Truly out of this world. The hospitality he delivered with such genuine kindness and care left us speechless. Every guest raved about how insanely attentive and nice every single person working was. Every single person on the team went above and beyond to look after us. The MLC team truly made the day even better. I could write a dissertation on how insanely delicious the food was as well. In addition to raving about the incredible service, the food was the talk of the evening. From start to finish every single bite of every single item was phenomenal. We had guests declaring it was not only the best wedding dinner they've ever had, but some of the best food they've ever had, period. We've been getting sweet messages all weekend raving about it and people wishing they could eat their dinners all over again. It was perfect.

edding guests say it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had! 10/10 would recommend!!

And let me tell you mountain laurel delivered. The crew was also fantastic to work with. We knew from the beginning that we wanted to have a raw oyster bar at the wedding and they made all of it happen, with oysters from PEI. I am still dreaming of that rosemary focaccia bread with the lavender honey butter.

onal, a pleasure to work with, and brought in top notch staff. I would definitely recommend them for your event and hope someone else local does so I can eat their food again.

d specifications. Not only was the presentation beautiful but the food was delicious! Money well spent and would definitely rehire or recommend to a friend!

ofessional. Bartenders were friendly. We highly recommend them and would hire them again for our next event!

azing. I come from a family of New York Italians, so high quality food was very much expected, and it was certainly delivered! Jess M. was wonderful to work with and everyone we interacted with was great! Guests were so pleased with the food!

of the best food they've had at a wedding (especially those cheese steak eggrolls). But considering that the day was a blur to me and I barely remember eating, what I remembered most was how kind and responsive the staff were, from the moment they got there. We had staff check on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed, and there was so much attention to detail. Overall their entire team was amazing to work with from the day we signed the contract to the end of the wedding day, I honestly could not recommend them enough!

had a drink in our hand and provided us with our appetizers while we took pictures. Their attention to detail and making sure they hit every detail to make our wedding day special was fantastic. And the food?! Everything was absolutely delicious. Our guests could not stop talking about their meals and the delicious whoopie pie bar. I would definitely recommend that anyone planning a wedding or event should use this caterer!

hire them for another event or even just hire them for a private dinner because I am still craving their appetizers and delicious meals. Highly highly recommend!

rstanding throughout the entire process. They made a custom menu for us and let us make any changes needed throughout the planning process. Jes was so helpful and easy to work with! I had a lot of questions and she was always available to answer. Most of all, the food was DELICIOUS! Our guests were raving, especially about the cheesesteak egg rolls at cocktail hour! People have such negative connotations about wedding food and MLC proves them all wrong. Food was hot, delicious, and presented beautifully. People came up to us saying how impressed they were with the MLC staff and how friendly they were. I have absolutely nothing to complain about and would hire them again in a heartbeat. If you're reading this and looking for your wedding caterer, trust me and go with them!

y out of the whole process working together and that was something we were thankful for.

ible, we couldn't have asked for a better catering staff!
