We used PSC for a (large) pre wedding dinner at the Vue on 50. The entire team (including the owner) were delightful to work with. Our planner Nicole was exceedingly helpful and patient. And the food was terrific! Everyone enjoyed, and we received an abundance of compliments from our guests. Would unqualifiedly recommend PSC for your event.

Jerry and his team were just amazing from start to finish. I could not recommend them more highly. Jerry listens to what you want without trying to sell you more. They not only made our wedding more beautiful, but the food was amazing that many of the guests told me they loved afterwards. He was sure to make sure it was nut free for our guests with nut allergies. He introduced me to the cook and some of the staff, who were all very nice and guests also complimented how much they liked the staff.

Even during the wedding day when a couple of things went wrong and plans changed, Jerry was cool, calm and collected as he rolled with everything going on. Jerry and his people are who you want for your big day!

The night before our menubtasting for our wedding my partner tested positive for COVID. The team was able to prepare all of the hors d'oeuvres and entrees to-go and typed up instructions for us on how to heat everything up at home same day! I was so embarassed but everyone was very kind and understanding. Excited to have such a dedicated team on our side for our Wedding day!

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our experience(s) were with Perfect Setting Catering. Between Deb, Jerry, and their team, they helped to craft what was the best 3-day wedding weekend we could have possibly imagined! Guests were treated with a full bar and wait staff for our rehearsal dinner held at Meadowbrook Estate, a wonderfully catered wedding at Appleford Estate, and a Farewell BBQ party that everyone is still talking about. Thank you Perfect Setting for helping to create an unforgettable weekend in celebration of our marriage!

The best way to describe our Daughters wedding experience using Perfect Settings is in the name of the caterer, PERFECT. Deb and her staffs attention to detail from signing with them to clearing the venue was excellant. All our quest kept saying, was how delicious everything tasted and how well the reception flowed. Thanks so much, Joanne and Frank Eaton
