I highly recommend Robert Ryan Catering & Design for all of your catering needs! After booking our ceremony and reception at Appleford Estate in Villanova, we had to choose from their list of 6 approved caterers. As a couple of foodies, my fian...cé and I knew that great food was one of the most important things we wanted on our wedding day. We needed a caterer that could not only deliver excellent service, but could also create a highly personalized menu that reflected our own tastes and make it delicious. Planning the wedding in Philadelphia from where we live in NC made things tough. Madison, our coordinator with RRC&D, was easily the most responsive representative of any of the catering companies we corresponded with via phone and email. Where other reps seemed to fall of the face of the earth for days at a time, Madison responded to even my tiniest of questions within a day most of the time, earning my trust that we would be a priority if we booked with Robert Ryan. She never made me feel like I was asking too many questions or that any of my requests were too outlandish. Their tasting was easily the most impressive out of the 4 we went to. They created the best menu from the list of things we said we really wanted to eat at our wedding. We got to meet not only Madison at our tasting, but also Danny, the Executive Chef, Luke, a member of their service staff, and Mark Ryan, the owner! I already expected great things from Madison after months of talking with her, but the warm professionalism from all of the others blew me, my fiancé, and our parents away. They are truly a united company where any member could accurately represent their core values. And you can tell they all love and take pride in what they do. After that, it really wasn't much of a contest. We booked them. The day of, Madison and her crew performed a flawless set up of all of my wedding decor, they walked us through the ceremony like the experienced pros they are, and everyone raved about the food, especially our sushi station! My mom commented how great Luke (we were so glad to see him again!) was at making her and my grandparents, who have mobility issues, feel so special and well cared for. Overall, in a business where you can so easily end up feeling taken advantage of and like you wasted your money, hiring Robert Ryan was probably the best investment we made for our wedding.
