I don’t even know where to start this review of John and his crew. We got put in touch with him as he’s the exclusive event caterer at our wedding venue, Loch Aerie Mansion, but even if I were booking my event anywhere else, I’d want John and his incredible staff. He treated working with us like he was planning a wedding for family. From the jump, John as a human is down to earth, easy to talk to, accommodating, a phenomenal listener, and has a wealth of experience. As a professional, he handles everything, and thinks of everything: Food: his food is TO DIE FOR, and not just like one or two signature dishes -- he has range (important as my husband and I are vegetarians, but we have family that think a meal isn’t complete without “meat”) and literally everything we ate was unreal. He boxed he has all the tools and software to make communicating (especially during COVID) super easy. Staff: They were perfect and so lovely. We had a waitstaff dedicated to our head table... Read more/our hip who (unobtrusively) made sure that we constantly had fresh drinks and snacks if we wanted them all through photos, and dinner. The rest of the staff was super efficient, professional, and almost invisible in the best way. They moved our speakers from outside to inside (ceremony → dinner) Planning: From the first moment we talked, he was immediately willing to talk about what we needed or didn’t need as though he was planning a wedding for his niece. We were doing a crazy thing planning a wedding for COVID times, and he helped us navigate the waters of -- do we pay a deposit to tent the lawn? Will legislation let us host inside? For how many people? What rentals do we need? Ugh it was a seeming nightmare but he handled it cooly, with information, and without making us pay a single unnecessary dollar. All of the tables, chairs, linens, heaters, etc. were rented through John. He coordinated it all and made it so, so easy. John has the software to make planning easy; allseated, his guest list and floorplan software, let us control the guest list and seating and have a say in the layout of the venue for the day-of, and also provided a place where he could give us expert advice on the flow of things. He wouldn’t let us make poor choices, and thought of everything from the guest perspective. Event Logistics: Because our wedding was during COVID we didn’t have dancing and therefore decided to forgo a DJ/band and didn’t have an emcee. But you wouldn’t have known. John and his staff kept the event perfectly on schedule and helped usher people about the venue for ceremony, cocktails, and dinner. They kept us on schedule throughout dinner and speeches, and were literally perfect. I booked John with the venue Loch Aerie Mansion, and their event designer Elizabeth. He was part of the dream team that made the event come to life and works seamlessly with the others. With that trio, you cannot go wrong One million stars for John Serock + crew

We have used John Serock for 2 of our children's weddings, and they did NOT disappoint! They took care of every detail, the wedding was seamless, we were able to fully enjoy the day. The food is amazing, we received many compliments, and when #3 gets engaged--we already know who we're calling! :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH for catering our wedding. The food from start to finish was out of this world and our guests were so impressed! They are still raving about it! Thank you to Kristy, our day of coordinator, who made everything just perfect. Our wedding day was truly stress free thanks to this awesome crew. I would highly recommend John Serock for any occasion!

An all-around wonderful experience with everyone at Serock Catering, but especially Kristy. The food was incredible and the attention to detail was even better. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

John Serock was the best choice we could have made for our wedding. We worked directly with Kristy and from our tasting to our final meeting, anytime we had a question, no matter how big or how small, she was ready and willing to help answer! John Serock also took care of all the linens, which looked fabulous in our location. But what really solidified them as a top notch vendor to us was that even though our wedding was in June 2021, they were extremely accommodating to us changing our guest total so late in the game due to COVID. Our only minor criticism would be the time it took between salads and entrees. My husband and I felt it was a little longer than normal, but when later talking to our guests they all advised that they didn't even notice and it gave them time to go get another drink! Overall, the food is amazing (get the dumpling appetizers!), the presentation was on point, and the service from both Kristy beforehand, and the staff the day of was uncomparable. Yo... Read moreu can tell the pride everyone took in working for John Serock and it really showed both in service and in the food. They helped make our wedding day smooth and seamless, and absolutely delicious! Please, book them for your wedding or event!

We selected John Serock Catering to cater our daughter's wedding at Brandywine Manor House and could not have been happier. The whole experience working them them from initial contact to the wedding day was excellent. Their food was awesome (great selection)! Rachael was our coordinator and we knew with her we were in excellent hands. I would highly recommend John Serock to anyone.

Serock should be every couple’s first choice for catering! This team is so amazing to work with, they provide so much personal care and patience throughout the entire planning process and the food is beyond amazing! Our wedding day was picture-perfect from start to finish because Serock managed every detail with care and professionalism!

Cassidy and John Serock Catering were wonderful to work with! We got engaged and started planning our wedding at the start of covid, and we chose john serock catering early on due to their great reviews, great communication from the first email, and yummy food at the tasting. Wedding planning during the pandemic was difficult but Cassidy answered all my questions and was so incredibly flexible which put my mind at ease. We ended up switching out venue less than 2 months before our wedding date, and they were so efficient about carrying over our plans to accommodate a new venue and changing our menu from brunch stations to dinner stations. The day of Cassidy and the team did a great job with the set-up, and the paella station (especially the emanadas) were guests' favorites and there was more than enough food for all our guests! I would 100 percent reccommend John Serock Catering to anyone looking for a wondering full-service caterer!

We have nothing but great things to say about John Serock Catering and their entire team. Cassidy, Rachael and John were all excellent throughout the entire process. Due to restrictions in the state, we were forced to change our wedding date several times, and we also had to make a last minute change in venue. The team at John Serock was with us the entire time, they were incredibly flexible and always accomodating. The food was incredible; I can tell you that every guest remarked on the high quality delectable food, everything from the unique hor d'oeuvres to the incredible duck and short rib entrees. They took the time to cater to our specific requests, and consistently impressed us with the final product. We would highly recommend John Serock catering for any of your special events!

We had to change venues because of Covid and were so lucky to find John Serock Catering to cater our wedding at Appleford Estate in Villanova! From the very start we felt so grateful to have such a responsive and helpful catering team! Cassidy was an angel who helped with absolutely everything. I asked her opinion on seating to decorations to food options. She basically acted as my wedding planner/caterer and I am forever grateful! She also was so calm, cool, and collected at all times. Even when it was going to thunderstorm and pretty much change every plan we had for the set up for the day she was so calm and made me feel confident that everything would be amazing. Thank you so much Cassidy!! You were such a calming presence throughout the planning process and the day of! Also the food was so good! We went for our tasting and were seriously blown away by the food! The catering team the day of was so awesome and we had our own server who made sure we had food and a drink in han... Read mored at all times. I am kicking myself for not knowing her name but thank you to all the servers! It seriously was an amazing experience from start to finish and we would recommend the entire John Serock team to anyone getting married!

Loved working with Cassidy & the Serock Team!

If we could give 10 starts we would. John Serock has created a team of rock stars. We had our first tasting during covid with one of his coordinators, Cassidy who made the uncomfortable time feel normal. She gave us amazing advice and eased our nerves with having a wedding during covid. Our second tasting they held at our venue and the food was even better than I can remember. We hired them on the spot and what made me most excited was the whole team surrounded us and were all so excited to be apart of our day with us! That is a family! The day of the wedding John Serock and his entire team were there and killed it! They went above and beyond our expectations. Its been a month-post wedding and we still hear comments from friends and family on how amazing the food (especially the steak and crab cake). They said it was "the best cut meat they've ever had." I would highly recommend John Serock and his team, you won't be disappointed!

We contracted with John Serock Catering for our daughter's recent wedding at Appleford in Villanova and they were just terrific. We loved the menu options and everything was beautifully presented and very tasty. The staff were excellent as well. Working with Cassidy was a pleasure. She was calm, patient, attentive, quite knowledgeable, and very responsive to our questions and concerns. I'd use Serock Catering again without hesitation.

John Serock Catering was absolutely fantastic! Our coordinator, Kristy, was so helpful and organized. From our food tasting, to our final meeting, to the day of our wedding, Kristy was there for our every need. We got so much positive feedback from our guests that the food was amazing. They loved all of our hors d'oeuvres and the main entrees. Some guests said that it was the best wedding food they'd ever had! John Serock's staff was just as impressive as the food. They asked me and my husband what we wanted to drink for dinner and had the drinks sitting at our table for when we sat down. They also saved a plate of hors d'oeuvres for us because we missed cocktail hour for pictures. Lastly, they packed up one of each entree, hors d'oeuvres, and desserts for us to take home with us. I wouldn't have wanted to work with any other caterer for my wedding. John Serock Catering was amazing!!!
