Abby LeBar oversaw our daughter's wedding reception catering and did a flawless job. The whole JDK team excelled at what they do, from the wait-staff, to the bartenders (Heidi and Jeff), and of course the chef! (The food was delicious!!) This vendor went 'above and beyond' expectations to make our family's event so special. Abby kept everyone to time and the clean-up was done before I knew it: JDK's staff had set up and torn down everything so efficiently I was able to enjoy the night without a care. I would HIGHLY recommend JDK Group! Job WELL DONE!

The JDK Group was our best vendor decision we made during our wedding planning process. We have had so many of our guests tell us on our wedding day, and continue to reach out to us that our wedding was the best wedding they have been to. So much of these comments, were because of the JDK Group.We worked with Lexi, and she truly made our wedding perfect. She listened to what we wanted out of our day, what was most important to us, and what was not top priority. She revisited pieces that we brought up in our initial meeting later on in the process to ensure all of our details were taken care of. We worked hand in hand with JDK for both food and flowers. Lexi and Colton (with JDK florals) were able to have meetings together, which really helped us as we were traveling out of town. We gave them a few words, a few pinterest photos we liked, and some colors. We walked into our detail meeting (which was so helpful to have together with both catering and florals), and together they created the most beautiful place setting options that we could see in person. The cohesive design for both catering and florals was more helpful than I knew. Lexi stepped away from the process for maternity leave (congratulations Lexi!!). We started to work with Ashley from JDK, and Ashley never missed a beat. It felt like we never changed event specialists because of their communication. Ashley was so thorough and made us feel 100% confident and comfortable with the rest of the planning process. She took the details that we discussed with Lexi and made our wedding day happen.Our wedding day was perfect. Because of our planning process with JDK, we had full trust in their team. From arriving to the venue until we left on the bus, we had the best day. Shannon was the staff lead made our wedding day happen. The transitions from ceremony beverages as guests arrived, to cocktail hour, to dinner, to late night snacks all happened without us even thinking about it, because of Shannon. All the details that we had shared with Lexi and Ashley happened for our guests because of Shannon and her staff team. Sandy was the staff member who took care of my husband and me. She greeted us at the end of the aisle with our favorite beverages, communicated with us throughout the day to ensure we were taken care of, and even ensured our parents were happy. It was important to us that my grandparents didn’t need to visit the bar, and we communicated that with Lexi and her team. Not only did my grandparents never visit the bar, but Lexi and Ashley understood the importance and ensured that neither of our parents did either. The entire staff team was beyond wonderful. The bartenders were provided by JDK. We wanted flavored Moscow mules, and my goodness were they delicious. The setup at cocktail hour and dinner was perfect, and we never saw a line at the bar. When we booked vendors, we booked them for our wedding day. But we really booked them for the entire process leading up to the day. JDK was a vendor that checked in on us, listened to us, and one that we went to for overall wedding planning advice because of their expertise. Thank you to Lexi, Ashley and the entire JDK team for making our wedding perfect and one that we will continue to reminisce on forever.

The JDK provided the food, florals and rentals for our wedding this weekend and exceeded every single expectation. The team (Tara, Colton, and everyone else) was a master of their craft. We hosted a 72-person wedding that featured a 5-course tasting menu centered around personalized menu that tasted like a Michelin Star restaurant. The service and team were professional, friendly and made the day so enjoyable by handling every detail. I cannot recommend JDK enough!

What an amazing experience we had working with JDK and Alyssa at the Bond! They made our wedding perfect and the food was exceptional! They will do anything they can to make your day perfect!

Alyssa Blackman is *incredible* at her job because she genuinely cares about people. It was so relaxing to feel like we’ve been friends for years and I trusted her completely to coordinate the most amazing day of my life. Alyssa and the staff somehow pulled my vision directly from my brain. What really stood out though, I must say, I was truly grateful for and impressed with their staff. Not only were all of my needs met, but they were just as attentive to my baby 🐶 This was probably my biggest stress, because I always feel like no one actually takes care of her the way I do, and I don’t trust many people around her that I don’t know. But wow, the staff showered her in love, treats (girlfriend ate just as good as mom and dad did that day), and genuine care that the stress just rolled off of my shoulders. Now the food. Oh my the food. Every piece, from the hors d’oeuvres to the main meal, everything was perfectly cooked and just absolutely divine. I highly recommend the sliders, chicken & waffles, and chicken tacos. The chicken & waffles were a huge hit, with some of my more unique guests requesting them! The steak was cooked medium/medium-well which really impressed my guests. The balsamic chicken was by far my favorite, the balsamic and walnuts on the juicy chicken - i actually ate that day! JDK is able to tailor their menu to your budget, they also really care about you and want you to enjoy every second of your day.

JDK was beyond amazing! I worked with Allison to plan our menu and she was great and very easy to work with. The whole team at JDK did an amazing job with both our rehearsal and reception meals. The whole experience with JDK was awesome and we couldn’t have picked a better catering company. All the food was incredible!!! Everyone at the wedding raved about how great it was. Definitely would recommend JDK for catering!!!

Andrea was our coordinator, and was the best! She was super easy to work with, and answered all of our questions super quick. She helped us with the set up the day of, and brought our dream wedding to life. The catering and the service staff were top notch. Everyone was super friendly, professional, and helpful. We didn’t have to worry about anything on the day of our wedding. The food was also fantastic! We were impressed when we went for our tasting, and our dinner was even better. People still talk about how good our dinner was, and say that it was the best wedding dinner they’ve had. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing an event planned and catered

JDK Catering and Events exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding day. We cannot thank them enough for all the time and effort the whole team put in to make our day absolutely magical. Abby was always available to answer any and all of our questions throughout the planning process and helped us plan every part the day. Brooke and her team made our floral vision come to life exactly how we envisioned it. The whole day was absolutely seamless and we have the the JDK staff to thank for that. We will always recommend the JDK Group for any catering and event design needs!

We are so pleased with the service we received from JDK. We had a smaller wedding with 20 guests and were thrilled with the high level of service and professionalism we received. All of the people we interacted with were helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Communication was always quick and responsive. The food was absolutely delicious and we received comments from our guests on it. Everything from the timeline to the presentation was flawless and we are so happy with our catering choice. Highly recommend JDK for your next event!

We had a great experience with the JDK Group! They helped make our wedding planning process fun and less stressful, we had a great time at the food tasting, at our detail meeting getting to sort through and select details, and our coordinator Andrea was always quick to respond and answer our questions. Guests were very complimentary of the food and the service. We also got to work with their in house floral team to rent decor which also took stress off of my plate. Overall a really great experience!

JDK did an amazing job for our wedding, truly made us feel special the entire process from start to finish. Alyssa helped us with every detail, we could not have done it without her! JDK took our vision and made it come to life. The food was fabulous, and the staff was so professional. Our special day was perfect thanks to JDK!

JDK did a phenominal job catering our wedding! The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. We are still hearing compliments about the food almost six months later. I'm confident that their planning process is part of what makes them so successful. Our primary contact, Maddie, stepped in partway through the planning process due to our original contact (who was also amazing!) taking on a different role. This shift happened less than two months before our wedding. We were nervous at first, but quickly realized there was nothing to worry about. Maddie hit the ground running right away, making sure she was up to speed with our choices, and helping us sort through final details. On the day of the wedding, Maddie and the entire staff made us feel so special. Everyone kept checking in with us throughout the night, seeing if there was anything we needed, and offering congratulations.

Tara and Maddie gave us such an amazing experience with JDK. Their communication was amazing and they were so helpful with the planning process and execution of our wedding day vision. They also were so helpful with making substitutions to accommodate our budget. All of our guests raved about how good the food was and we are so thankful we went with the JDK group to cater and coordinate our wedding day!

My wife and I booked The JDK Group to cater our wedding and it was such an amazing decision! We worked with Ashley and she helped us with EVERYTHING! Ashley helped us pick out some of the best food we've ever had. From first contact, to the tasting event, to picking our wedding food and place settings, and most importantly, the big day: Ashley made sure everything was PERFECT. The entire experience was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better catering company, and catering specialist, for our wedding. Ashley was such an amazing and kind person who helped in any way she could, even for things not related to catering. If you are on the fence about JDK, book them! You will not regret it.

Our experience with JDK catering was absolutely phenomenal! While JDK is the exclusive caterer at our wedding venue, Elizabeth Furnace, we can confidently say that even if they weren't, we would have chosen them without hesitation. Exceptional food and top-notch service were paramount to us, and JDK exceeded our highest expectations. It's no wonder they are the best caterer in the area. Our event specialist, Alyssa, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She not only listened attentively to our ideas but also provided invaluable guidance. Alyssa meticulously walked us through the timeline, layout, menu selection, and even the finer details like tablespace with linens, chargers, and napkins. This level of comprehensive support truly set JDK apart because many other caterers tend to focus solely on the menu. In addition to Alyssa, Chef Jay and Chef Josh worked closely with us to create custom menu items. Their dedication and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our dining experience. The carving station was a standout hit at our wedding, leaving our guests raving about the delicious food! Our guests are still talking about the amazing food, the impeccable quality of service, and the overall exceptional experience of our special day. JDK played a pivotal role in making our wedding a memorable and delicious celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their event to the next level. Thank you, JDK, for exceeding our culinary dreams and making our day truly extraordinary!

The JDK experience was great throughout the entire wedding process! We had our wedding at the King Mansion in Harrisburg, with Abby as our JDK wedding coordinator. She was organized, communicated well to address our concerns, and was very professional. The food was amazing, and the staff during our wedding were professional, led by Todd, our event manager. One negative was that several of our guests who had specific meal requests (i.e. dietary restrictions) did not receive the right meals, which was a little disappointing. Overall, we were extremely pleased with Abby and JDK, and would highly recommend this venue and caterer!

Katie K

The JDK experience was great. We worked with Abby as our coordinator and she was great. She is extremely knowledgeable and very kind! She also worked very well with our wedding planner in fine tuning all of the rental details. I really didn't have to worry about tables, chairs, linens, flatware, glassware, etc. It was all handled. On the day of our wedding, our guests raved about the food as well as the professionalism and kindness of the staff and bartenders. I would highly recommend JDK!

Our JDK experience was amazing - 10/10 recommend. Our venue choice (King Mansion) uses JDK for catering and we thought it was nice we didn't have to find an additional company. This saved us SO MUCH time and money. Everything we needed was handled by JDK - tables, chairs, linens, table settings, champagne glasses, ceremony chairs, you name it!! All we had to do was pick out what colors we wanted for everything. Abby was our coordinator and the whole planning process was very laid out and smooth, meetings every few months to progress to the next step, and communication in between those meetings was great! The day of was incredibly smooth from set up to tear down. I did my own centerpieces and had people making those the morning of, but they jumped right in helping place candles, and greenery, and decorating with any leftover flowers/decor. The venue looked AMAZING and just how I would have wanted it. At the end of the night, they had everything boxed up for us and ready to go. This was amazing for my family as most of them were going to stay after and clean up - most of it was already done and boxed up for them! My husband and I had a personal server assigned to us the entire day checking in to make sure we got appetizers and had drinks all night long if we wanted them. One of the workers even stepped in and asked if I needed help bustling my dress!! The venue also needs some credit. King Mansion in Harrisburg is absolutely gorgeous. It fulfilled every single dream I had for our wedding day. I got so many compliments on how gorgeous the mansion was!! It's a great option for summer weddings especially - we were able to have an outdoor ceremony but had air conditioning available for cocktail hour/reception. The rooms are gorgeous as you walk through and there is a very spacious separate bridal and grooms suites for everyone to hang out in the morning of! I can't forget about the GORGEOUS balconies that overlook the river. The food alone deserves its own review. Every single guest I talked to said it was the best meal they have ever had at a wedding!! I know it was the best food (hor d'ourves especially) I also got so many compliments on how incredible the servers themselves were - I was shocked by how many people they had there helping out and running the event!! This company is second to none, and I fully recommend using them - you will be so thankful you did in the end!!!

My husband and I were blown away by the experience of being a JDK client. From the moment we met with JDK to decide if we wanted them as our wedding day caterer, we felt like they were going to do whatever it took to make our wedding day everything we could dream of. The JDK Group is way more than just amazing food. We had Lexi as our event coordinator and she was personable and open to all our ideas. Throughout the entire planning process, we never felt unsure of how it would go, because we knew we could count on Lexi to make it work. Not only did she help us choose what food would work well together, she also helped us decide on linens, decor, floor plan, schedule of events, and was truly a trusted advisor on how it would all work together. On to the food! We had a pasta bar and a steak carving station which our guests have been raving about every time we see them. The chefs and serving staff were extremely professional and helpful whenever there was a need. Lexi even put together a to-go box of food for us that was waiting in our car when we left the wedding - so thoughtful! JDK was truly full service and we would highly recommend to anyone who wants to have a low stress preparation process, happy guests, and an unforgettable event.

We worked with Lexi and had immaculate service. Chef Jay and team make memorably delicious food, and the entire waitstaff were so kind and fun. We did the cannoli bar for dessert and it was a big hit. Would absolutely recommend!

The entire catering experience with JDK was incredible. First of all, the tasting was fabulous and gave us so many great options to choose from. Come hungry! We got two full-sized entrees in addition to apps, spreads, and dessert. The food for the wedding itself was delectable. We went with the short rib and salmon, and the polenta for our vegetarian guests. Every single person has raved about their meal--all came out hot and perfectly cooked. The short rib especially got MAJOR call outs from everyone! We also did a late night snack (passed grilled cheese) which was great, especially after people had been partying and wanted something small to eat! 10/10 recommend!

Working with the JDK Group was seamless from start to finish! Andrea was a fanatic venue coordinator who answered all our questions and helped make our wedding the best day ever. They are eager to please and it is clear that they are the best in the business!

The JDK Group is the vendor of your dreams! After a bad experience with another caterer we were lucky enough they agreed to take us on, and from day 1 it was a dream! Ashley is THE BEST and made wedding dreams I didn't know I had come to life while providing an incredibly boutique, 5-star restaurant feel meal (appetizers and mocktails) all in a month. She even did my tablescapes with a mix of their wonderful design items, things I ordered and my florists bud vases, it absolutely blew me away day of. They are worth every penny, you are getting the best with them and that level of service especially with elderly guests is worth everything.

JDK was the exclusive caterer to our venue; however, we still would’ve chosen them for our wedding. Their team is professional and their chef is amazing. We’ve had many friends tell us that our wedding food was the best they’ve had. They also have a dedicated staff member for the bride/groom who brought hors d’oeuvres and drinks out to us/the bridal party while we took wedding photos. We did have one hiccup during the planning process in which our JDK rep left the company, and did so with poor communication. Our new JDK rep stepped up and really helped to alleviate our concerns and made sure we were still taken care of. Despite the large communication hurdle, we still would recommend JDK for other couples.

Colton and his team did an amazing job with our wedding florals! Colton was very easy to work with, flexible and personable. He was patient with my ever-changing mind and really saw my vision and ran with it. The florals were absolutely stunning and better than I could have ever envisioned! JDK took care of the entirety of our guest table centerpieces which took a huge load off our plate. Their beautiful designs added the perfect touch to our wedding day. Thank you, Colton and the JDK team!

Yum! We were married two months ago and we’re still getting compliments from our guests about how good the food was. We knew JDK had a great reputation and we were excited to select them for our wedding - their proposal was really straightforward and told you exactly what you were paying for which we know is not always the case with caterers. The servers and bartenders were also absolute gems, as was Lexi who we primarily worked with to plan the menu and other details. In addition to the truly delicious food, we also appreciated some of the little touches they added - when we came down the stairs after the ceremony, a server was there with two glasses of champagne and a small tray of hors devours that we took with us back to the bridal suite during a quiet moment before the cocktail hour. Overall, we had a great experience and would (and have!) recommended JDK to other couples.

JDK was the exclusive caterer for our chosen wedding venue. The team was extremely dedicated to helping us create a menu that we were happy with and took the time to answer every question we had. The taste testing was such a fun experience. The staff, esp. bartenders, did a nice job serving guests in a timely manner. We did have a couple issues on the day of the wedding, however. The food that was served was not prepared/presented in the same way that we tasted and a good amount of the candles that I had provided were not put out. As well, the tables we indicated as VIP were the tables that were served the slowest. While guests had no idea, these issues were disappointing to us as the bride and groom since we spent so much time preparing for the big day.

JDK catering helped us make our dream wedding a reality! Food is really important to me and it was all delicious! Everything from the hot cocoa station (with peanut butter:), peppermint), to the steak frites and deconstructed French Soup! Oh and I cannot forget about the Raclette station, what a hit! And the creme brulee!! All was amazing!!! We couldn't have pulled off our French/Parisian feast without you! Thank you! Also kudos to the all the staff, who so willingly wore the French berets that we provided, just another great touch to create that French feel! Thank you!!!

We chose a JDK wedding venue, so they were our caterers. We chose to have dinner stations and ended up with a chef assisted pasta station, make-your-own taco station, make-your-own cheesesteak station, and a salad station. Everything was so good. Our guests enjoyed going to eat whatever food they wanted (and could get seconds and thirds of) everyone told me they loved everything they tried. I definitely recommend JDK.

JDK was paired as an exclusive/preferred vendor with our wedding venue. It truly is a dream team. Colton Weyant-Staver is floral and design director. He sets the standard for vendor communication. His responses were always timely, professional, and pleasant. His attention to detail means everything. We received our itemized floral proposal very early on and he was able to translate my vision and preference for floral colors and feelings into gorgeous wedding bouquets, groom’s boutonniere, ceremony arch, mothers’ corsages, flower girl crown, table centerpieces, and hanging greenery and lights from our tent. We have received so many compliments from guests and other staff working our wedding on the gorgeous floral designs. Lexi Leach served as our catering contact. Every interaction with Lexi showcased her true professionalism. She is a gem. We revised our catering proposal several times to update specific details and everything came together perfectly day of. Courteous and on top of every detail to ensure that we are getting the exact food and beverage at every stage of the wedding- arrival, cocktail hour, reception, and cake. Guests could not stop raving about the food. The dinner service went flawlessly, every server was truly so helpful offering my groom and I food or drink to ensure we had something in our stomachs as the night continued. It was a joy to have Lexi checking in on us at the reception to check if we needed anything. She was not only there to serve as event staff but we could tell she was genuinely happy to be a part of our wedding day. We are sad that we won’t be having another wedding (haha) to enjoy the food and service by JDK.

JDK was such a pleasure to work with. We could feel that Abby and her staff truly cared about our event and did everything they could to ensure it went off without a hitch! We had so many guests come up to us & say how much they enjoyed the food, how easy it was to get a drink & how accommodating the staff was. From the bottom of our hearts we couldn’t be more appreciative or recommend them more 💗

They were the exclusive caterer for my venue, which was a blessing since they were amazing! Their menu options were fantastic, as foodies my husband & I wanted the food to be amazing and it turned out better than expected! What really was above and beyond however was the staff. They were incredibly attentive with quick and professional service, and made sure both us and our guests were happy the whole night. Would highly recommend!

We could not speak more highly of JDK. JDK catered our wedding reception at the Historic King Mansion. We had a bit of an unusual request- instead of a seated dinner, we had passed and stationed hors d’oeuvres and food stations for dinner. Julianna was amazing in helping us realize our not-so-traditional vision. She was with us every step of the way, was prompt about responding to calls and emails, and kept all the trains running on time day of the wedding. We love Julianna! The food was amazing and our guests raved about everything! The favorites were the chicken and waffle cone appetizer and the flank steak, which was part of the carving station. We also cannot speak more highly of the entire staff. When we arrived at the reception, my husband and I asked for a few minutes alone before we greeted guests. JDK had a plate of appetizers and glasses of champagne waiting for us in the bridal suite. We had servers making sure we were taken care of throughout the night. Highly recommend JDK!

Our wedding was August 20, 2022- and I am still having guests reach out SPECIFICALLY to tell me that the food service at our wedding was the BEST THEY HAVE EVER HAD! From the presentation, to the perfect portions, to the variety on the plate, it was hot when it came out… Everything was so perfect. And that’s just dinner. Our guests also raved about the unique strolling raw bars we had. We worked with Abby and could not have felt more taken care of through the process right up to her personally serving us our meals on our wedding day, which I thought was such a special gesture. Abby handled business with ease and ran that show like a true professional. She even swapped out the napkins at our tables (LIKE 150 place settings?!) last minute because I didn’t care for the color once I saw it. Abby and the entire JDK TEAM are so talented and take so much pride in what they do and it SHOWS. In every single big and little detail! I would never recommend another!

JDK was nothing short of phenomenal! Lexi and Colton were fantastic to work with and coordinated extremely well between the food and the flowers. Their team is very professional and friendly and were accommodating to every need leading up to and including the day of the wedding. Don’t hesitate to select JDK!! Thank you!!

We were extremely satisfied with the service of Weddings by JDK for our wedding at the Farm at Eagles Ridge in Lancaster PA. Molly in particular was just so great and she was truly so easy to work and communicate with. She helped custom-tailored our menu to fit our vision perfectly. Our guests raved about the food for both cocktail hour and reception. The staff was wonderful on the day of the wedding and always kept us fed. We would highly recommend JDK!!

We worked with Abby (Planner) and Colton (Florist) for our September 2021 wedding at King Mansion. I can not say enough good things about this fabulous and professional team. As with many pandemic era weddings, there were many bumbs (postponement, last minute ceremony venue change, self imposed COVID requirements, etc.) Both Abby and Colton went above and beyond in their respective areas to ensure our wedding day was beautiful and well executed. And it goes without saying, JDK’s food is unmatched and their catering staff well trained. Thank you Abby, Colton, and JDK for making our wedding day a success!

The JDK team, especially Molly, exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Molly and I were in contact for two years planning my dream wedding. Being a super type A planner, my standards were set pretty high. I came to the first meeting with a list of questions and Molly patiently walked me through every little thing putting me at ease. The food, OMG, there are no words. Our guests are still raving about everything a few weeks after the wedding. The JDK team was beyond reproach the day of our wedding. They were attentive to our guests and us! We left the ceremony to have a customized plate of appetizers and beverages brought to us before we went into cocktail hour. The added decor that the team brought was beautiful. Molly took the time to look through my pinterest page to make sure my vision came to life. I wish I could do it all over again! JDK is the best company and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I was the bride that eat everything at my wedding, I couldn't not try everything that we had selected. It's been a couple weeks since, although everything was excellent, I'm still thinking about the steak. Everyone at JDK was so kind and attentive to my groom and I, always coming up to us checking if we needed anything! Throughout the planning process Lexi was very responsive and helpful, as well. I would highly recommend JDK for your next event!

I do not have the words to describe the absolute incredible service provided by the Wedding at JDK team. I’ve had compliments after compliments regarding the organization, timeliness, and friendliness of all the staff throughout my wedding weekend. They were all so kind and made sure we didn’t miss out on a single detail over the course of the weekend. Michelle worked with us for over two years through planning a wedding, cancelling and rescheduling it to another weekend due to COVID-19, putting together a quick micro-wedding ceremony, and finally re-planning and executing the most amazing wedding weekend. From start to finish, her bubbly and bright personality made the process so enjoyable and easy. There was never a time wherein I couldn’t contact her to talk through a million details of our two-day wedding event. She is an angel, and I couldn’t recommend her more. Colton and his team put together our reception, our ceremony space, and a second reception beyond my wildest dreams. I was awestruck every single time I walked into a new space and saw his work. The space was beautiful itself, but every detail he added from the gorgeous greens to the lit candles made it even more magical. Thank you all.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with JDK for both catering and for our flowers. I cannot say enough good things about them. Everything from the food, to the setup and even bartenders made our day absolutely fantastic. We had worked with Emma and she was so pleasant and understanding when we had to change our date due to COVID. They made things simple and easy and for that, I thank them. The food was amazing and everyone at our wedding was raving about it, even the next day we were still talking about the food. The tables were set up just like I had imagined and the staff were so kind throughout the entire day. Our favorite part was that there is someone assigned to bring you and your husband food and drinks while you are taking pictures, absolutely loved that idea. Highly recommend JDK!

I cannot say enough great things about JDK and their team. We worked specifically with Molly through the whole process and she was amazing!! Molly was so responsive, detailed, organized, and so flexible when we asked to meet in person or over the phone. She made sure to answer all of my questions thoroughly and made sure we had everything in order before the big day! The food was amazing and JDK goes above and beyond to meet your needs. We are still getting compliments from our wedding guests. The JDK team did an amazing job at our wedding. Everyone was so nice, friendly, and extremely professional. We could not of asked for a better team and are so glad we chose JDK. My husband and I wish we could do it all again a 2nd time because it was so great.

Weddings by JDK designed and produced the wedding of our dreams. From start to finish we could NOT recommend Weddings by JDK, Colton or his team more. They will take your vision and make it a reality! In fact, they took our vision and made our wedding more dreamy and boho and perfect than we could have ever imagined. This is one extremely talented, creative team, that's easy and a pleasure to work with. They're responsive and imaginative and we can't recommend you hire them more!

The Bond is an absolutely BREATHTAKING venue & exactly what I was looking for when I was trying to find the perfect industrial venue. The space is perfect for any size wedding and easy for guests to navigate around! You also get MORE out of the venue with all of the beautiful murals in the surrounding area. Besides what you can easily see - working with The Bond/JDK Team was nothing short of a phenomenal experience. Emma is an absolute ANGEL jumping in as our coordinator right as things started to re-open and right from the start she was completely on top of everything. I know how crazy busy the wedding industry is right now but Emma made me feel like the most important bride every time we spoke. She listened to every detail and made sure to keep in constant communication on her end. Emma we will forever be grateful for all of your hard work and dedication to our wedding day & making it the most PERFECT day ever!! We also have to give a shoutout to Jamie & Sam from JDK! I met with Jamie for our final details meeting and she & Sam helped run our rehearsal. They were the sweetest gals to work with and the same thing as Emma made us feel like we were the most important couple in the moment, giving us 100% of their energy to help pull off our vision. Jamie even texted me one week out just to say happy wedding week! Sam was there setting up when we arrived and made sure to take care of absolutely everything and helped Danielle, our coordinator, make everything look perfect. I will never be able to thank them enough for everything they did! And the service/FOOD OH.MY.GOODNESS.....I am drooling at the memory of our wedding food. I don't think there was/is ONE person who could say anything but amazing things about dinner. The consistent line we keep hearing is "that was the best wedding food I've ever eaten...not even just wedding food...FOOD in general!!" If you’re considering The Bond and/or JDK for your wedding day we 10000000%+ say that is the best choice you can make!! oxox

I could not have done it without Emma from JDK catering group, she helped me through every step of the process. My son and his new wife were married on 9-4-21 in NC and Emma helped me plan a reception at Warehouse 435 in Lebanon on 9-11-21 . The food was wonderful and she even helped me plan out the meals for those who have food restrictions . If your looking for a catering company who does it all look no further , the staff that they have is also remarkable I was hands off because I wanted to enjoy the day and from the time they arrived till the time it ended I didn’t need to lift a finger. That’s the kind of service I wanted and that’s what I got! I will highly recommend JDK Catering Group.

Lexi and the team at JDK did a phenomenal job! As a restaurant manager myself and with a chef as my new husband, the food was top priority for our wedding. We had VERY high expectations, and JDK delivered! From menu development, throughout the tasting and to the big day, Lexi helped us create the perfect spread. All our guests, many from the restaurant industry as well, did not stop raving about how unique and delicious the food was! Everyone wanted leftovers to take home!

We had our wedding at JDK’s location, The Bond, and it was nothing short of amazing. It was everything we could have wanted for our wedding day!! From our initial tour of the venue with Alanna, we knew we were in good hands working with the folks at JDK, everyone was so nice and welcoming and made us feel special! Emma was our appointed contact and she was awesome!!! She helped guide us through every step of our planning process and kept great communication throughout our months leading up to the big day. Our wedding day, I’m still speechless with how seamless and professional the entire JDK group is. Everything was so stress free for me as a bride, I could focus on my hair and makeup and photos all while JDK is setting everything you’ve been imaging all in the background almost without a peep - and it was exactly everything we had talked about that came to life. Everyone definitely knew what they were doing and we were in really good hands. We were able to enjoy every second of our wedding with no hiccups. If we had to do our wedding all over again we’d def go with JDK again and recommend them for any couple that’s looking for a great team of people to help make your special day a dream come true.

Molly and her team at JDK are simply the best! We are so happy we chose them for our wedding day. Throughout our entire wedding planning process they were responsive and literally catered to all of our needs. Everything the day of our wedding was exactly as planned thanks to Molly orchestrating everything. She went above and beyond her role, even adding extra decor to enhance displays. The food was absolutely delicious!! Our wedding guests couldn’t stop talking about the appetizers long after cocktail hour was over and almost everyone cleaned their dinner plates. Everything was fabulous thanks to JDK!

We hired JDK for catering and florals and it was the best decision ever!! Food was absolutely delicious and the floral arrangements were so beautiful! Forever grateful for Abby and her team of amazing people! Abby was such a huge help from the very start. She was responsive and patient throughout the entire year of back and forth emails. This was the first wedding of our venue so there were a lot of unknowns and firsts but nobody would have known. They did such an incredible job adapting and preparing for our day and it really showed. It was perfect. The food was incredible - we received many praises on the food - and the JDK team was professional and dedicated to their work but also very fun which we loved! A huge thanks to Abby and her JDK team for making our magical wedding weekend a dream come true. Colton’s floral arrangements and displays were AMAZING! I am seriously so amazed at his work. It was exactly how I imagined and beyond expectations. It was such a pleasure working with Colton - he is so positive and fun to talk too. From start to finish, I could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary to make everything happen. The details to the design and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond expectations. It was truly a magical day. Thank you so much!!

We are so happy that we decided to go with JDK as our caterer. They were extremely professional and on top of everything. All our guests raved about the food and service that they provided. Emma was wonderful to work with and helped us through the entire process. The staff really made our wedding day worry free and everything ran so smoothly. We would recommend them to anyone!

When we were looking for a caterer for our wedding, every other vendor in the area recommended JDK, so we knew we had to go with them! After visiting JDK’s Camp Hill office and meeting with Molly, we decided to hire JDK for both catering and florals/design — best decision ever! Everything turned out even better than we expected! Molly and Colton were so helpful and amazing to work with. Anything we asked for, they made happen. Every little detail was perfect, and our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was! Colton did an amazing job with the flowers and decor - I couldn’t have imagined it any better! JDK is the best!

From our first email, Colton from JDK was friendly and incredibly responsive. He saw my vision for our wedding and their team made it a reality. Florals and greenery were my main focus for our enchanted forest wedding and JDK knocked it out of the park with our floral arraignments. After the ceremony, our officiant (who works at our venue often) told me that our ceremony space was probably the one of the most beautiful she had ever seen. While shopping for a florist, I presented my idea for hanging floral arraignments for the reception space. All the other florists I spoke with told me they wouldn't or couldn't do it, or that I'd have to figure out the logistics. JDK said they could do it and they did! It really completed my vision and i was very happy with my choice in florist.

Working with Molly and the JDK team was one of the best decisions we made! We always intended to have a longer engagement and booked JDK in 2019 for our April 2021 wedding. Over the course of the next couple years, Molly helped us more than we could ever imagine with planning out the details of our meal as well as the flow of the evening. She was always available for any questions or concerns, especially during this past year of uncertainty in the pandemic. The JDK team was extremely professional and the service was impeccable. The food was delicious from the hors d'oeuvres to the entrees and cookie skillet dessert we added. All of our guests are still raving about it!

I worked with multiple people within The JDK Group each of which were fabulous! The food is AMAZING, if you can I definitely recommend going to a tasting. The team I had was punctual and professional. I had a vision which they enhanced by bringing additional items that complimented my theme. Highly recommend!

JDK came to work with us for our wedding as they had a contract with our venue: Allenberry. Initially we worked with Kelsey, and the last several months with Molly. While 2020 threw many curves our way resulting in the change of our wedding planner with JDK, JDK and our venue now no longer being contracted together, we were nothing but spoiled on our wedding day. First of all our food was amazing. We had individuals constantly checking in to make sure we ate, got our appetizers while taking photos, had drinks, and at the end of the evening we had a special bag of food and such given to us just in case we missed anything. Our reception looked amazing. Not only did I not have to direct decorations, but everything I provided was used and further emphasized in the most beautiful way. While I'm sad Allenberry has chosen to continue their weddings in future without the support of JDK, I would recommend JDK to anyone looking for wedding planning as they were the true stars of our wedding.

I don’t even know where to begin with how absolutely incredible both Molly and Colton were throughout the planning process of my wedding day. I used JDK for catering as well as florals/design and there is not a single thing I would’ve changed about my day. I’ve always wanted an all white wedding and they helped pull all my ideas together and make the most beautiful, elegant, and luxurious wedding I could’ve ever dreamed of. There was so much detail and thought put into each and every piece that I continue to notice new things as I look back on all my wedding pictures. The food was TO DIE FOR! My husband is Dominican and I am half Indian and so we incorporated both cultures into our menu which I was so happy with! Chef Jay did such an amazing job being creative and making all our dreams come true. I don’t even know where to begin with the florals Colton did for me! He came up with these GIANT white rose arrangements for my ceremony, a white flower wall, florals that draped down the sides of our enormous head table and down to the floor, and filled the entire clear top reception tent with florals everywhere. Beyond what dreams are made of. I am so grateful to the JDK team that is honestly family. The service was amazing and the time spent with me throughout this planning process was so so worth every single cent. Even if Mindy Weiss could’ve done my wedding, I’d still pick the JDK team over her and that’s saying a lot!!!!!

JDK is AMAZING! From the very beginning of wedding planning to our big day I have been blown away with their support and assistance through it all! The food was delicious and their attention to detail is an added bonus! I highly recommend every couple to check out JDK for their wedding! You will not be disappointed!
