Perfect Setting Catering

ng into account all of my special requests and made all of my dreams for the day come true. And the food... INCREDIBLE! No one could stop talking about how delicious everything was from the hors d'oeuvres to the entrees and desserts everything was impeccable. I HIGHLY recommend working with them! Deb will personally make sure you day goes smoothly and everything will be perfect! I am sure you will be as happy as we were with their services!

straight forward with you and that was something we appreciated because she wasn’t trying to up-sell us but stay within our means. We initially wanted to do food stations for the reception but after discussing with Deb we wound up going with sit-down dinner. Their prices were reasonable in our opinion and she was able to stay within the budget we initially set from the beginning. They also were able to help us setup for the reception and while our decorations were on the lighter side than most, that allowed us to enjoy our day. The food was amazing and our guests loved all the appetizers and entrée they served for dinner. We could not have been happier with Perfect Setting Catering and highly recommend them.

e satisfied. One waitress followed us during the cocktail hour (when we were tied up with pictures) to make sure we had plenty to drink and even brought us some hors d'oeuvres to try. The reason we didn't give 5 stars is because Deb occasionally did not communicate well. This was a bit frustrating, especially right before the wedding, but we were eventually able to work through everything with her. On our wedding day, she handled a couple problems for us and as a result, everything went smoothly.

ial consult and tasting, Deb was very engaging and professional and showed a lot of enthusiasm for getting to know us and our preferences. She accommodated some of our requests that we felt would make our wedding more intimate and unique such as having our own personal server during cocktail hour (thanks, Yvonne!) and serving the salad course family-style. She also offered to provide mini-ice cream cones at the end of the night, which were a huge hit with our guests. PSC worked very well with our venue and other vendors, which greatly helped the entire event flow smoothly. We had a lot of positive feedback on our cocktail hour and dinner entrée selections and our guests especially liked the friendly bartenders. We highly recommend them for your special day!

dors (including helping us decide who to hire) and helped make the day perfect for us. I could not have been happier with them!

searched, we found that he provided the best value for the price.

e and beyond to make me feel at ease. She always responded right away whenever I contacted her and was very patient when it came to answering all my questions. Many times, when I was stressing, Deb would say “don't worry...I'll take care of it” or “just leave it to me.” I am so glad I did :) From the very beginning, she worked with me every step of the way to make sure the food and venue set-up were just how I'd imagined. When the big day arrived, everything turned out better than I could have ever hoped for. I was so thankful to have Deb there acting as the coordinator, especially since my venue manager left right after the ceremony, putting everything on Deb's shoulders. This didn't throw her off her game at all because once you work with her, you'll see she's a professional. When she took over, the rest of the night ran like clockwork. She worked with the photographer and band to make sure everything went to schedule. She often checked on my husband and me to see if we needed anything, making sure we got the chance to eat the amazing food. Her staff was also outstanding - so polite and accommodating. And the food...unbelievable! Almost a month later, my guests are still talking about the delicious gourmet comfort food that Deb created, especially the pot pies. I could write a book about how thankful I am that I used Perfect Setting and Deb for my wedding. I can't imagine having to go through the planning of a wedding without her! I can't recommend Perfect Setting enough. Thank you for everything, Deb!

were delicious and the main course was outstanding. Jerry and his staff did an amazing job. The wait staff was polite, courteous and very attentive. Jerry did a great job planning the event, providing recommendations and delivering fantastic food. We would highly recommend Perfect Setting Catering for a wedding or special event in the Philadelphia area. Jerry, thank you for your efforts. Our guests are still talking about the wonderful food and attentive service you provided for Kristen and David’s wedding. Bravo! Darcy & Dan D’Andrea

r wedding stress free. Since the caterer is pretty much the most expensive vendor you will hiring, you want to work with someone who you know will do an outstanding job...Jerry if your man! Perfect Setting Catering exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing and just as delicious at the wedding as it was at the tasting. The service was on point--I can't even tell you how many guests complimented us on the food and said how impressed they were with how attentive the servers were. Additionally, Jerry worked with us to make sure we were happy with our food selections, signature cocktails, etc. and everything was exactly as we wanted. I would highly recommend using Perfect Setting Catering for your big day--you will not be disappointed in your choice!

ss inside and out, not to mention he makes it all seem like fun rather than a checklist that needs to be accomplished. He thought of every detail that I did not consider. I would give the highest recommendation for Perfect Setting Catering to anyone looking for a caterer for any event. I have received countless compliments on the food, and I could not be more thankful that I had Jerry helping me with the details!

sure our wedding was exactly as we had imagined and stress-free. We had the wedding at our home so he came out the day before to make sure everything was ready to go and immediately clammed any nerves we had. His design team created beautiful displays and his staff was attentive and professional the whole night. We got many compliments on the food and service. We highly recommend Perfect Setting!

and these items were prepared for us to sample. We were blown away by how amazing the food was and knew instantly we would go with them for our big day. After many months of back-and-forth, Jerry helped perfect our food choices, seating arrangements and overall game plan for the evening. He was able to accommodate all of special requests for certain guests, adapt to any last minute alterations and gave us a great deal on our cake via Bredenbeck's Bakery. Thanks to Jerry, our evening went without a hitch. Many of our guests and family members continue to talk about the fantastic service and food Jerry and his staff provided!

ss and coordinated with our other vendors. She responds immediately, is super reliable and thinks of everything! The staff was incredible as well, they were there early helping out and even assigned someone to me (the bride) to follow me with food and drinks so I could sample all of our delicious items at cocktail hour.

et. Since we didn't live in the area, we were very nervous about spending a lot of money on a caterer we didn't know or hadn't heard about. When the wedding day came, we got compliments from all of our guests about how amazing the food was, and what a well run event it was. We couldn't have done this without Jerry! Catering can get expensive, but knowing that a skilled professional is in control, makes every dollar worth it. You will not regret one cent you spent on this caterer!

ts on). I think the chicken was personally my favorite. We both appreciated how much Jerry were involved with every aspect of the evening, and in helping calm us down in November when we both realized there were many things we hadn't thought about. He was basically our wedding planner that night! From coordinating everything with the DJ, with the museum, and even queuing the girls to walk down the aisle. All of that meant a lot to us. We also appreciated the help deciding what to stock the bar with because we wouldn't have known what to buy without it! At the reception, having drinks and dinner brought right to us so that we could enjoy the food while still having time to make our way around the room and greet all of our guests. I would definitely recommend Perfect Setting to all newly engaged couples in the Philadelphia area and I know we would hire them all over again!

licious but you never know how good it will taste when you are on location and mass producing the food. I made sure to take the time to sit down and eat during my wedding and I was blown away at how great the food really was. Jerry's staff went above and beyond to make sure our guests had everything they needed through every step of the wedding. On top of that, they assigned a waitress to deliver my husband and I cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and dinner during the wedding to make sure we got to eat amidst all the commotion. All night, my guests were asking who my caterer was because they were really impressed. Thanks for everything you did to make my day so special!!

dding was. Everything was easy and flawless with Perfect Catering from the beginning to the end. The first time we met with Jerry, we walked out of the meeting saying how professional, witting and great he seemed. From there, he helped us narrow every last detail down to what would work the best for us as a couple. Over the next few months, he answered my endless e-mails and questions rapidly and never let a question go unanswered. Our tasting was delicious--and the food at the wedding tasted the same, if not better! It's hard to really remember all of the details from the day of, but I did not worry about anything the whole day because I knew Jerry could handle anything. All of our guests were blown away by the professionalism of his whole team. They were considerate, happy, hard working and helpful. The dinner was served in a seated style and all of the guests were served very quickly. Everyone kept telling us how amazing the food was. We were thrilled with how happy everyone was! Then there were the little things that I never expected and was delighted with. They paid extra special attention to the groom and I during the whole evening-asking us if we needed anything. During cocktail hour, when we were getting our pictures taken someone was there with the hors d'oeuvres/cocktails for us to make sure we didn't miss anything! Neither one of us had to ask for anything the whole night. They saw that we didn't really touch our dinner because we were so busy with the guests so they gladly packed us full servings for later! It was so nice to eat back at the hotel when everything was done. Perfect Setting Catering made our wedding: organized, flawless, fun, delicious and perfect. It's really impossible to list everything that I loved about this Caterer. If you choose them, you will NOT regret this decision at all! I would choose them again for anything and would recommend them to anyone getting married out there!

ious grasp of our concerns. We immediately felt a rapport with her; her friendly and approachable manner made her a joy to work with. Long before the wedding day Laurey was totally involved in our details, making suggestions and helping us envision how it would look and work. The payoff: a beautifully realized wedding day. Perfect Settings' competent and pleasant staff delivered everything we were promised, delicious food, smooth service, seamless transitions from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception to efficient clean up. Laurey was on duty the entire day of the wedding, functioning like a wedding planner (our wedding pix show her opening the doors for the bride's grand entrance). The wedding party had a staff member assigned to us to make sure we were continuously supplied with drinks, hors d'oeuvres etc. Special attention was paid to the bride and groom to make sure they ate! We got many compliments from wedding guests about the food, especially the espresso rubbed beef tenderloin entree. Perfect Setting accommodated us when we had to extend the reception by a half hour because the dance party was still bumpin'. They had to bill us for extra staff time but the cost was reasonable. If we had to do it all over again we wouldn't change a thing!

lly credit to Deb and her team. The food was fantastic. Since our wedding, numerous guests have commented that they loved what was served. Perfect Setting was also able to easily accommodate our guests with food allergies and intolerances, which was greatly appreciated. We found Perfect Setting to be professional, responsive, and easy to work with, and they made our wedding day run flawlessly. We are so glad to have hired them as our caterer.

a menu that suited my tastes and my family/guest allergies. When we arrived at our tasting, Laurey presented us with the meal we had designed together and it was delicious! My husband and I spent nearly three hours there that day. Laurey listened to us and our needs. Knowing we were on a very tight budget, she honestly answered my questions and convinced me to change from a station style meal to a seated dual entree dinner to save us some money. In the three hours, we had selected the linens, napkins, the food, desserts, drinks, cocktails, nearly everything! When we walked out, we knew our search for a caterer was over. Laurey is truly an asset to Perfect Setting. She is professional, patient, helpful, knowledgeable, experienced, and a delight! I will happily recommend them to everyone I know for any catering needs. Laurey was also our wedding day coordinator and she helped everything go off wonderfully. The only hiccup we experienced was that so many guests are coffee drinkers that she decided to put out the desserts early, so I missed the opportunity to thank the guests for coming before dessert was served and I didn't get any desserts during the reception. I got to take home what was left over, so at least I got to sample some of the goods.

for two decades was beyond valuable; and our guests all praised the quality of the food his team prepared. But, for us, what was most impressive, and truly beyond expectations, was Jerry's ability to deal with a last-minute venue change due to the power outage of early Feb '14. With less than two days' notice, we changed nearly everything about our wedding. Jerry made last minute venue visits with us, spent plenty of time on the phone both late at night and early in the morning planning and re-planning contingencies, and remained calm, cool, and collected every step of the way. He is a true gentleman, as professional as someone could possibly be, and we couldn't have made a better choice than to work with him and Perfect Setting on our most important day.

erry himself was so friendly, warm and happy. Moving further into the process, Jerry understood the type of Bride I was: organized, and wanting to get things finished and crossed-off. He worked with me, responded to my millions of questions and emails and requests for meetings and did it all with a smile on his face. The day of the wedding came and everything came together so perfectly. Jerry helped make sure everything would match from the tablecloths to the napkins to the chairs and cushions. The food was cooked perfectly and all night we heard about how everyone's plates were licked clean. The truffled mashed potatoes were a huge hit - get them if you can!! We also saved some money by getting rid of the spinach & artichoke dip station during cocktail hour and Jerry came up with a passed appetizer of mini spinach and artichoke dip served with french bread. It was perfect and SO accommodating. The staff was so attentive. Constantly made sure my groom and I were full, drinks in hand and food in our stomachs. I honestly cannot even think of a single complaint I would have. I'd recommend Jerry and his team to anyone planning a wedding or any event in the area, time and time again.

toiletries for the bathroom, family photos, etc. Jerry and his staff set all of it up and had it ready for us to take home at the end of the event. We had butlered hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour, which were plentiful. There was always someone with food in sight. The staff also made a point to stop by me and my husband with each hors d'oeuvres to ensure we ate and tried all of the food. We had a cheese/crudite station that was beautiful! I am a big cheese lover and the selection was excellent. Jerry worked really well with the DJ and the museum staff to ensure that everything ran smoothly. He was communicative during the reception, without ever being disruptive. For the salad, we served a traditional Bulgarian salad called shopska. We sent Jerry information on what this salad is and he had no objections to adding it to the menu. It was delicious and very well executed! The only issue is that we served lamb for one of the entrees and there were only regular knives, no steak knives. The lamb was difficult to cut with such a dull knife. This perhaps is something I should have thought to ask about prior, but never considered inquiring about utensils. The other entrees were chicken and a stuffed mushroom, both of which received high marks from the guests. Jerry was also great to meet with me 3 times prior to the wedding, once at the museum to run through the layout and timing. He has a high selection of linens, and does not charge extra for colors. He is very reasonable and flexible, and is certainly willing to work within your budget. Whenever we met, we would go over all the options, how much each option would cost, and why it would cost that much. I had an amazing experience with this catering company and would recommend them to anyone!

of blended in and weren't a distraction. My biggest recommendation: get the hot fresh baked cookies for your dessert. The smell of warm cookies was amazing. Everyone was drawn to the dessert table and raved about the taste. I would recommend Perfect Setting to any bride or anyone planning an event!

n a tad late starting dinner, so that may have had something to do with it). The hors devours were AMAZING though! I wish I had eaten more of them. Her staff is very friendly, professional, and clean, and really adapted to a weird situation. We meant to have cocktail hour inside of our venue (Duportail House). The wedding party was taking pictures outside though and a lot of people were hanging out watching- so the servers brought the hors devours outside to where the people were. Deb made sure to keep things moving and running smoothly for me. And she made sure my husband and I ate, which I really appreciated. He and I were taking some pictures by ourselves and she came out with one of her servers and made us eat before we went inside.

less thing we had to worry about. The staff is very friendly and professional. One lady made sure me and my husband got brunch and cocktails which was nice since we were busy talking to everyone.

e process. She really makes you feel like you don't have to worry about anything and she will take care of it and make sure everything goes well. She was at the venue hours before the cermemony even started and she made sure the event went off without a hitch. This company is more than just a caterer, they're really wonderful to work with.

ut Perfect Setting stands out. The food was presented well, but more importantly, and to the delight of our guests, it tastes even better. Jerry was always personally attentive, and his employees are terrifically professional. The staff adroitly adjusted to emergency time schedule changes the day of the wedding when a thunderstorm and delayed guests put off dinner service more than an hour later than planned. My new husband and I were especially grateful when Jerry stood by at our getaway car to deliver two meals and a slice of cake to enjoy later, because sitting down to dinner never happened for us with the flurry of wedding events!

t, and he said the brisket at the wedding was the best he has had in the northeast. The salad and sides were excellent too. The servers were all very nice and helpful, and brought us appetizers and our meals so we didn't have to stand in line. They also prepared plates for my grandmothers so they didn't have to get in the buffet line. I would recommend Perfect Setting Catering to all brides.

ebbie is a great wedding coordinator. On the day of the wedding, Debbie intercepted several issues that would had definitely caused a "bridezilla" moment--1.cake topper falling and shattering into pieces, 2.the cake was cracking in some places, 3.there was a random guest passed out from a wedding the night before in the groom's bathroom?!! She handled everything gracefully and prevented the knowledge of these things from reaching me till after the wedding. She rocks! If it wasn't for Perfect setting, my wedding would have definitely fell apart.

items for us at our tasting and the sample was perfect! The service and flexibility was amazing. Our buffet was delicious and beautiful, and the tapas on each table were perfectly presented in an artful manner - perfect for our venue. We are still receiving compliments on the quality of our food!!! I would recommend Perfect Setting Catering for a wedding, party or special event. I can't say enough good things about them.

tes! The lead caterer, Deb, kept things moving smoothly the entire evening. We still receive compliments on the hors d'oeurves at the wedding saying none other can even compare! They were amazing! Great food, great choices, friendly staff!
