Late to the Lake was the perfect wedding caterer for our special day. From the very beginning, their communication was on top of it wonderful - they were incredibly responsive and attentive to all of our questions and requests. The quality of their work and value was simply delicious, unforgettable, and outstanding. They went above and beyond in so many ways, even helping with extra services we didn't even expect. Late to the Lake was a crucial part of the success of our wedding, and we appreciated Danae, Carly, and Ryanne's kindness and impeccable service throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better catering team to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Jeannette was super responsive and easy to work with. She solved all the problems and attended to all my catering needs. Delivery was on time, and the break down was perfect! The chicken piccata was so soft I still find hard to believe. The assorted desserts were definitely a talking point, they sure were assorted (was not even able to try them all!) and so delicious I couldn’t pick a favorite either. My wedding cake was everything I dreamed of! I can’t recommend chef johns more, and it sure was one of the best investments of my wedding.

For a fun and delicious menu, a beautifully decorated unique event, solid staff and peace of mind, Mel at GourMel catering is the one call to make. Mel helped us with EVERYTHING. From menu and drink planning, to centerpieces, to rentals, to party favors, to set up/breakdown and staff and all the little details I forgot, Mel was there with ideas and all the help we needed to perfectly execute our dream wedding. No detail was spared and there was nothing I needed to worry about the day of.

Awarded Best of Zola
We ordered Tuck Ins to put in our wedding guest gift bags at the hotel. Tuck Ins was easy to work with, delivered in a timely manner, and all of our guests loved having something delicious and made by a local Philly company. If we were to get married again, I think we would include Tuck Ins at the dessert table and let the guests roast them at the reception. Would highly recommend!
