I can not say enough good about Jon, Rachel and the entire staff at John Serock. My daughter just got married on our farm, and we hired John Serock Catering for that event. They were amazing! I didn't realize all the benefits of hiring a full service caterer, but now I'm spoiled and can't imagine doing it any other way. Rachel was so helpful throughout the entire process, then the staff blew us away the day of.

They were waiting for us after the ceremony, with trays of drinks and hors d'oeuvres for the entire bridal party so we didn't miss-out on the cocktail hour food while doing pictures. One server was assigned to my daughter and her husband and she served them seamlessly all day long. The food was delicious, the service.top notch! Totally professional and I would hire them again without hesitation.

Wonderful experience! We had them cater our wedding at the Barn at Silverstone and it was amazing! Kristy was our coordinator and she and her staff were fantastic! She answered all my questions, help me make changes and even gave me a tipping chart for ALL types of vendors. The food was absolutely perfect. We had a ton of compliments from our guests and a lot of them even said it was the best wedding food they ever had!

You definitely get a lot for your money here as well. It is all inclusive and no hidden fees or up charges for things like linens or wait staff. We, as the bride and groom even had attendants to bring us food and drinks through the day, photo hour, and even the reception. I NEVER needed anything. Caitlin (Sorry if this is the wrong spelling) was our server and was an MVP! THANK YOU ALL FOR SUCH A GREAT JOB AND MAGICAL EVENING! It couldn't have been more perfect.

As a hospitality professional and former Chef, we wanted only the best food & service for our daughter's wedding of 185 guests and John Serock Catering certainly delivered. From initial consultation to menu / agenda development to the day of, it was 100% first-class! Great attentive service, tasty food that was cooked to perfection, plenty of bartenders to keep the drinks flowing, Serock & his team exceeded our family and friends' expectations!

Special requests for allergies and all personal details were handled seamlessly and all communications throughout the process were timely and concise. If we could give MORE than FIVE STARS, we would! John Serock.top notch all the way.

Rachael is an absolute angel. She single handedly made my wedding run smoothly. She is incredibly professional and good at her job. Everyone could not stop talking about how good the food was, and usually wedding food is okay at best. I was so appreciative of their attention to dietary restrictions. Couldn't recommend this caterer more!

We could not recommend John Serock and his team enough! My husband and I were married at Loch Aerie Mansion on September 5, 2021. John served as both the head caterer and event coordinator. After multiple years of planning and rescheduling due to COVID, we were finally able to have our dream wedding. John and his team made the day run effortlessly. We were supposed to have an outdoor ceremony and it rained at the last minute.

We decided to move the ceremony indoors and the transition to an indoor ceremony was seamless! John made the planning process fun and personalized. My husband and I come from multicultural backgrounds and the food at our wedding was phenomenal (traditional American and Indian stations). John personally made sure at our reception that my husband and I were able to try all of the food and we were never hungry! All of our guests raved about the food, service, attention to detail, and caring nature of the entire team. We will continue to use John Serock for future events and highly recommend his team!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Serock. Kristy was our coordinator and she is THE BEST. She made every part of the planning process a breeze from start to finish. They have a HUGE menu of choices and add ons. We did not have one thing we did not thoroughly enjoy from apps to dessert. Everyone raved at our wedding about how amazing the food was- even to say they have never seen so many cleared plates. The servers and bartenders were also amazing and attentive all night. Serock does not disappoint!
