Patty Armbrust and Company

rists, jewelers, chauffeurs, musicians, ministers, venue managers, bakers, and caterers. I have just had the opportunity to photograph a wedding that was catered by one of the finest Caterers I have experienced- Patty Armbrust and Company. With her delightful personality and unparalleled skills, Patty not only guided the bride and groom to select a wonderful menu, she also helped them find the perfect venue, coordinated their daily schedule, and helped them create a celebration that was beautiful, organized, full of joy, and tasted amazing! Patty Armbrust is not only a genius in her art, but also a true delight. And she has the staff to match.

her food was outstanding. We only wanted finger style foods and she was able to provide a great variety. My guests raved about the food as well as the people that were working there on Patty's behalf. If I ever need a caterer again, she will be the first (and last) person I will contact.

y down to our signature drinks. Mine was running low quite often and they were replenishing very quickly. My husband is a recovering alcoholic and our drinks were very different colors and his of course was a mocktail. When preparing the replenishment of my drink later in the eveing, the juice they needed to use, made our drinks the same color! The staff made it a top priority to make sure they left us know so that my husband just didn't pick up a drink from the table thinking it was his and get something with alcohol in it. They wanted to make sure he came directly to them to get is beverages for the night! That specific detail meant more to us than anything that they thought so far out of the box for him! Patty was more than we ever imagined and I would recommend her services to any bride who wants a unique and one of a kind special event!!! Thank you Patty for everything and we feel as though you are a friend and not just our caterer. Much love to you and your staff!

worth every penny. Patty welcomed us into her home for our first meeting and truly made us feel like we were the only wedding on her schedule. She was interested in learning about us as a couple, our vision for our big day and every detail in between. She scribbled notes through the entire meeting, showing us she was invested in putting together a menu that reflected our tastes and one that our guests would thoroughly enjoy. Within minutes of meeting her, Patty completely eased any fears we had about serving a forgettable meal and choosing her as our caterer was hands down one of the easiest planning decisions we made. Not only was Patty one of the biggest blessings in our wedding planning journey, but also was her team. Each member of her staff was qualified, extremely friendly and beyond eager to help. An extra special thank you to her staff member, Patrick, who helped coordinate our entire venue set up the day before. We were amazed by his professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure everything went off without a hitch! The day of our wedding we were treated like royalty and each staff member appeared genuinely happy to be there and help. Patty worked to create the perfect menu for our tastes that our guests still rave about! She also was a huge help in making one of our visions a reality - creating a special snack bar that featured foods from our two home states, a theme we carried throughout our entire day. Patty leaves no stone unturned, walks you through the entire process and serves as such a valuable planning resource. She is more than just a caterer, but really a wedding coordinator who triple checks every detail, has your best interests at heart and uses her expertise to create a special dining experience that not only highlights her incredible cuisine, but unique displays as well. We can honestly say we had not one doubt, fear or worry with Patty in charge. With Patty Armbrust and Company, you not only pay for an exceptional meal, but also for piece of mind…and that is an invaluable feeling for any planning couple leading up to and on your big day! Thank you to Patty, Patrick and her entire staff for making our dream day a reality!

sely with us on our budget to make sure we had an incredible wedding. She made a list of our favorite foods and worked up an incredible menu that our guests still tell us how much they loved. Patty was also instrumental in helping us choose other vendors. She recommended all types of vendors. Furthermore, her attention to detail and experience was evident as she got to know us and made recommendations and suggestions on how our wedding day should go. We were planning our wedding from across the country so it was so helpful getting quality suggestions and recommendations from someone in the business. On the day of the wedding she was there to make sure it went off without a hitch, which gave us peace of mind and helped us relax and enjoy the day. Her staff was so respectful and professional, again exemplifying true experience and knowledge of their craft. Patty responded quickly to all our inquiries and questions. Whenever we had a question or an issue where we started to get a little stressed, Patty responded quickly and settled us down so we had nothing to worry about. This included an issue we had with the time of our event. We brought it to Patty’s attention and she quickly revised the schedule for us with no issues at all. It was little things like this that helped make the whole planning process easier and less stressful. Even when she was away she let us know she wouldn’t be immediately available but would respond to us when she could. Again this little thing helped us know she was invested in our wedding just as much as us. Patty was very helpful keeping within budget and there were no surprises when we got our final invoice. Patty and her staff helped make our wedding day wonderful and we highly recommend her.

outside of country) and also my cater, Patty was HUGE help! She was like a my wedding planner! She has a lot of knowledge and experiences, and she knew exactly what I wanted! She is very engaging and so passionate and amazing person to work with! Our wedding was outside under the tent and theme color was black, white and blush pink. We wanted our guests to move around, so we did stations. There were a lot of "Foodies" in our guests and we got so many compliments. We are not planning to get married again but would love to do the party again!!!!

and of course, an amazing spread of food. Patty took special care of us from the beginning by meeting with us personally, cooking us food to taste, and then sitting down and designing a personal menu with us based on our favorite types of food. Our wedding food consisted of passed hor dourves and 3 different stations of food. Needless to say, no one went home hungry! There was something for every taste at every station, and many, many friends and family said it was not only the best wedding food they have ever had, but the best wedding they have ever been to! Our goal was to have a beautiful, memorable, and unique wedding day, and we achieved it. I give much credit to Patty and her wonderful team!! All the food was amazing but a special shout out goes to the grilled flatiron steak with horseradish, scallops wrapped in bacon with Cajun barbecue sauce, saffron risotto, brie with caramelized almonds, and the grilled salmon with lemon dill marinade! That is only a handful of the delicious food Patty made for us. Finally I would like to mention how much it meant to us to not only have a caterer, but instead an outstanding caterer with an amazing team that helped us with everything, not just food. They helped with decorating, setting up, tearing down, and gave much appreciated advice when we were uncertain and needed it! I HIGHLY recommend this wonderful and caring lady and her hard-working team. :)

ning and she executed it perfectly. She went above and beyond in every way and everybody was complementing the food. Patty's staff was fantastic. They were the kindest people and really went out of the way to make sure everyone was happy. I can't say enough good things about Patty Armburst & Co. I give the credit for the amazing day to her and her staff. Book her early because she is the one to make your event perfect.

cious and not fussy food, and Patty did a wonderful job of preparing things that fit our personalities, the style of the event, and had people going back for more and gushing for weeks. It was important to us to be able to trust that on our wedding day we wouldn't have to micromanage, and that is exactly what we got. She helped us choose things that would work well for our event and our budget and that would go together. I felt like the advice Patty gave us and the attention she paid to all the details were those that she would have given her own daughter. I highly recommend Patty without any reservations to anyone and everyone!

cision we made in the entire wedding planning process. Patty and her staff are professional, knowledgeable, and well-respected in the community. Our other vendors were thrilled to hear that we had hired Patty because they love working with her. I don't even know where to start with the amazing things I have to say about our experience with Patty and her staff, so I will break it down into the big categories. Food: Obviously this is the most important part when hiring a caterer! Not only was this the best wedding food we have ever had, but quite possibly the best food we have ever had, period. Our guests were very quick to say the same thing. People were still raving about the food for weeks after the wedding. Our favorites: the mashed potato bar, grilled beef tenderloin, and the asiago chicken. Service: Patty is absolutely phenomenal to work with. She made us feel so at ease during the planning process, and things went smoothly because of her expertise. She helped us plan a menu from scratch, and was very patient with us when we had little-to-no idea what we wanted at first. She helped us craft a menu that reflected our personalities and our favorite things. It helped the reception have more of a personal touch, and our families loved it. When ordering rentals and linens, Patty made things so easy for us. She was so knowledgeable and helped the process go smoothly. Our wedding would not have looked the same without the beautiful linens, glasses, and silverware she helped us select. She also does a phenomenal job with presentation. The tables for our stations were so gorgeous they could have been featured in a magazine. Her staff members were also wonderful. They were so kind to us when we arrived at the reception and looked genuinely happy to be helping us on our special day. They were there for us if/when we needed anything at all during the reception: drinks, more food, cake-cutting supplies, etc. They boxed up a care package for us at the end of the night, and we ate every last bit of it in our hotel room. I can't imagine working with better people than Patty and her staff. Cost: This part is simple. They say you get what you pay for, and with Patty, what you get is worth every penny. She helped us stick to our budget and have a wonderful wedding. I cannot recommend Patty Armbrust and Company highly enough. STELLAR service, PHENOMENAL food, WONDERFUL people. Thank you!!!

her team, who were all so friendly and helpful, was brilliant. We were very appreciative and pleased that we used Patty to cater for us. I would highly recommend her for similar events

running efficiently and always with a smile. Our wedding couldn't have been better. Since then, we've had countless compliments on the meal with many guests saying it was above and beyond what they would ever expect at a wedding. I would not hesitate to recommend Patty to anyone looking for an event caterer, she's been brilliant!

her an amazing lunch menu that included various salads, sandwiches, and even a kids food menu that would make any 5 year old sit down for lunch before playing ball! When we walked into the event we were most impressed by the professionalism of the team she had working with her. They were all so pleasant and happy to be there…that alone made the afternoon even more special. Our guest were talking about Patty and her team for days afterwards! We now need to figure out a way to get invited to another event that she is catering! If you work with Patty, that will be the best decision you make!!

iously and timely.

food at our wedding and customized our menu to fit our likes and dislikes. Everything was absolutely perfect! She went above and beyond typical catering duties by even helping us with our rentals and making sure we had all of the correct tables and linens. Everyone commented on how delicious our food was at our wedding, and it was also presented so beautifully! We had a macaroni and cheese bar and one guest told me it was the best macaroni and cheese they had ever had in their life! Since Patty works with your food preferences, the entire menu was so "us" and people noticed and loved that. Not only is the food amazing, but Patty is just an absolutely wonderful person to work with. She was so kind throughout our entire planning process, answered emails quickly, and always made us feel special. What an amazing lady! Her staff is just as kind and did a great job at the wedding. We had a truly fantastic experience with Patty Armbrust and Co as our caterer.

them was delicious! We met with her twice and she was very helpful and thorough in answering all of our questions. Patty definitely made us feel confident that everything would run smoothly and it did! She and her staff are very experienced and knowledgeable about their work, and everything was presented and served in a professional manner. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a unique and delicious catering service!

he months leading up to the wedding she was always very thorough and timely in responses to all of my ridiculous questions and was very helpful. She came to the venue a couple of days before the wedding to ease my mind with setup and placement of things. When it came to wedding day, Patty and her staff were absolutely OUTSTANDING! The food was spectacular, the staff was so attentive to us and our guests and they had smiles on their faces even at the very end of the nice. The cleanup was quick and they left the venue looking spectacular! I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

g short of a dream wedding. All of our guest could not stop raving about the stations that were set up throughout the reception as well as happy hour. I highly recommend Patty & Co to any bride and groom!!! It is really hard to find someone as personable and committed to their clients and also do a super job. They are so passionate about what they do and it shows! Thank you so much for the most amazing day of my life!!!

in mind, and Patty met with us several times (not to mention answered all our phone calls and emails, which were too numerous to count!) to make the wedding work within our budget. The food was absolutely scrumptious, all homemade, the stations' presentations were stunning, and Patty did a remarkable job making that special day seamless for the bride/groom and my husband/me! We received countless comments from guests about how wonderful the food was. She provided an "event coordinator" who was positively fabulous, as was her entire staff. Their professionalism and ability to communicate and pull off a memorable wedding was absolutely fantastic! We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND using Patty Armbrust for your catering needs, we simply cannot praise her or thank her enough!

efficient. More than two months after our wedding, we are still receiving compliments on the food. We love Patty!

portantly the food! When I went into this process I wanted to find the best caterer to give my guests the most memorable reception meal they have had. I had an idea of what I wanted and she made sure to make it all about my husband and I. I had a southern style wedding and wanted the comfort foods. She created a whole menu and even tried some new stuff out just for me. I had more guests come up to me to compliment the food then I ever imagined. She worked soo well with the other vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. I have never put so much trust in someone and come out with such confidence and ease. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to have a stress free wedding day and guaranteed exceptional food and service.

t. Almost every guest we talked to said that it was the best wedding food they had ever had! It was great working with Patty in the lead-up to the wedding and she always answered questions quickly. We also hired one of her staff, Alison, as a day of coordinator and she was so helpful. It made us feel so much better to know that Patty and Alison really had the wedding day under control. I would definitely recommend Patty to anyone getting married in the central PA area.

ook all of our ideas and ran with them and turned it into the wedding of my dreams! When I walked into the tent after arriving from the church I was just in awe at how she had turned the Tent into my dream wedding in every way. I have been told by numerous people that was the BEST wedding food they have ever had and I couldn't agree more. We had 3 different stations which worked out perfect and there was something for everyone!! To be able to put together an outdoor wedding for 260 people in a tent in the middle of a field is no easy task and Patty and her team made sure that everything came together flawless. We feel so lucky to have you and your entire team as our Caterer and we would highly recommend you to any bride and groom that are looking for high quality food, service and to work with a team that genuinely cares about there clients. We are forever grateful to you guys!!! Love, Caroline and Josh

nd willing to do what we wanted. She is very creative and had great ideas. Her years of experience and expert ability enabled her to put our vision together. The reception was in the middle of a field...and it took a lot of coordination. Not only was the food amazing, it was presented perfectly. Her staff was great and had to work very hard as we were dealing with rain at times. We would highly recommend Patty to anyone looking for a high quality, competent caterer...with great ideas. Delicious!!!!

d the menu she developed was extraordinary! She simplified the entire process for us, and we had nothing to worry about. The food was beautifully prepared & presented! From the passed hors d'oeuvres to the buffet, the food was fabulous, and our guests are still raving. The servers and bar staff were perfect. The mint julep concoction I had prepared was near-disastrous, until the staff turned it into an incredible cocktail that everyone loved. They were hard-working, always gracious, and so very helpful. Again, we had nothing to worry about. By the way, I do not think of Patty as a caterer - she is an artisan. Patty Armbrust & Company rocks! What a wonderful experience we had!

he also acted like a wedding planner, she was in constant communication with the other vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly on that day. Her food is delicious. The presentation was beautiful and unique. Our guests couldn't stop talking about it. Many guests were even taking photos of their food! Her staff was also amazing. They were very attentive, yet not overbearing. Dirty plates and glasses disappeared from tables quickly yet you barely noticed staff clearing the tables. They were also so polite and personable. Our guests loved them. I could go on and on about how pleased we were with her services. If you're looking for an amazing caterer that goes above and beyond, then choose Patty!

d gazillions of questions, advised us on wine, gave her opinion when asked but was very attentive to our wishes. We used a "stations" concept with American, Oriental, and Italian foods. It tasted great and was wonderfully presented. And the mango margaritas were to die for! I would recommend her unreservedly and will use her services again whenever I get the chance.

ns as guests, and they were well-fed. Moreover, we had a guest with a very restrictive diet and Patty actually talked to her in advance to make sure there would be food that was safe for her. (Our guest was impressed and very happy with her dinner!) All the food was presented in a very beautiful way. For example, we had paella as one of our appetizers, and Patty thought of a very creative presentation in a shooter glass. Patty is also very well-connected in the industry. We ended up picking our venue, cake baker, DJ, florist, and officiant all based on her recommendations! Go with Patty to cater your wedding - you'll be glad you did!

ersonal touch to everything and really cares about her clients and making their special day simply perfect! Prior to the wedding Patty worked with us to put together a scrumptious personalized menu and responded promptly to emails and calls. We chose to work with Patty Armburst and Company because we were able to personalize our event. I didn't want to serve dried out food stuck to chaffing pans at our wedding and we definitely did not get that! Our guests are still raving about the food and atmosphere, 2 months later. We received many complements from guests stating that this was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! The food was artfully displayed and soooo delicious and fresh! Just the other night my husband and I were reminiscing about how wonderful the wedding was, thanks to Patty! I just can't say enough about how great it was to work with Patty and her staff!! If you are concerned about costs talk to Patty, she will work within your budget and provide a fantastic event!

fall soup shooters (delicious), and the entrees. It was important to us that we gave our guests a taste of home, something to stand out from most weddings. For our first anniversary, we tried to recreate her signature dish, but didn't even come close. Patty and her staff were complete professionals, adjusted seamlessly to our change in schedule during the reception, and created a delicious dinner that gave a homey and loving touch to the wedding. I would absolutely recommend Patty for weddings and any event leading to the special day. She's the best!

very diverse group with different preferences. The traditional wedding menu would not have worked for us. I greatly appreciated that Patty developed a menu that was perfect for everybody: we had food for vegans, fish but no meat, meat but no fish, salads without onions or peppers and plenty of fresh fruit,vegetables and bread. We received many, many compliments on the delicious food during the reception and at the dinner. Everybody was comfortable, ate well and ate a lot and had an outstanding time. Patty's staff are extremely professional and all 'have your back' so that you can enjoy your special day. I highly recommend.

When I started to shop caterers, I began to panic because our budget was tight and every caterer I went to seemed to give me the same "pick your meat, pick your potatoes, caesar or garden salad" and the price was crazy! When I contacted Patti, we talked on the phone and she got to know me. She offered helpful advice (I've never planned a wedding before!) and I knew right away I wanted to meet with her. She welcomed us into her home and from the moment we got there, I knew Patti was it. She listened to us and really crafted a menu to suit our tastes (I'm a vegetarian) and our budget. She made the visit fun, she was excited for us, and I felt that when I left, I'd not only found my caterer, but I'd made a friend as well. I haven't tasted a single thing yet and our wedding isn't until June, but I can truly say that Patti is the real deal. She's professional, caring, and totally the person you'd want to be in charge of your food on your big day. I'd recommend her a million times over because she took the time to listen and get to know us and, because of this, I trust her totally to help us make our day as special as we can. Call her now--she's the best!

) team provided excellent service. We knew that Patty and her team would make the day perfect and they did not disappoint !!! The food, the service, the displays of food, . . . everything was perfect. And I feel the word "perfect" is an understatement, because words cannot express how beautiful the presentation was, to how delicious the food was. Jeff said the food exceeded our expectations starting with a caprese salad with imported artichokes to the expertly seasoned tenderloin, crisp fried chicken, and exquisitely moist and flavorful grilled salmon. It was a superior and delightful eating experience for all guests!!! I very highly recommend Patty if you want amazing food displayed beautifully that will wow your guests. Her food is fresh, unprocessed, and truly gourmet. Our guests commented that it was the best they ever had! Made the wedding an event to be remembered!!!!

on, macaroni and cheese station, fresh black bean and corn salad, fresh fruit salad, etc etc. I've never seen people eat so much food at a wedding before, I'm still getting emails and calls about how wonderful the food was and thank you's for having food that people actually like!! We could not have asked for better service. Patty's staff is unmatched - they did a wonderful job at the reception and the bar staff somehow managed to keep everyone's cups full, which is impressive considering we had quite the drinking crowd!! Everything went off without a hitch and we owe most of that to Patty and her staff. I would definitely recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

ommend!

rced from local ingredients and be seasonally appropriate, and be presented beautifully. Patty completely delivered! Patty was also considerate of the budget we had to work with. Her staff was professional, kind, and took great care of my guests. So many of my guests said that it was the best food that they have ever had at a wedding and it didn't taste like "wedding food".

thusiamsm for her craft is unmatched. Her staff is just as excited about the service they provide and go out of their way to ensure the client is happy. They had their timing down to a tee and were so polite and helpful to all of my quest. And, of course, the food was outstanding as I expected it would be. We received so many compliments. She worked with our budget without compromising quality. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

g on my big day! All of my guests were completely satisfied and extremely impressed with the presentation. They deserve more than 5 stars!

the wonderful staff and fabluous food, we knew that our special day was safe in her very capable hands and we couldn't have been more pleased.

eel like she would take good care of us and more importantly she made me feel like there would be nothing to worry about on our wedding day. The food was absolutely fantastic. She makes EVERYTHING from scratch. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding meal that they had ever eaten. We had Patty handle everything from the food to the linens to the silverware and her presentation was absolutely beautiful. Her attention to detail is amazing. We loved working with Patty and would highly recommend her.
