Luongo Barbecue 

5.0

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves State College, PA

Preparing and serving slow smoked, expertly prepared barbecue is the greatest joy in my life. There are no short cuts in barbecue and that's what I love about it. We started Luongo Barbecue to glorify the Lord and grow the Kingdom of God. We use the business as a means to feed and serve the less fortunate in our community. After spending the last 30 years in Texas, 20 of those learning all things barbecue, we are relocating to central Pennsylvania in January 2025 to begin working with family on the next chapter of Luongo Barbecue.

Luongo Barbecue was an excellent choice for catering. As a husband and wife team, they were quick to respond to emails with any questions or requests we had, providing information we requested. The food they served was tasty and hot. They played an important role in making the day a success. Thank you!

Hausfrau Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves State College, PA

Hausfrau is an upscale catering and events company putting the JOY back into hosting and wedding planning. Let us take care of all the details. We love themes ~and FOOD~ not just German! We can develop the perfect menu, layout, decor, and more to create a unique experience for your guests at your price point. Our team takes the time to hear your ideas, envision your perfect event with you, implement our shared plan, and ensure everyone enjoys our hospitality from start to finish. Our focus on aesthetics means we plate and garnish food on white china platters and wood instead of just dropping off disposable aluminum pans for you to figure out!

Kristin with Hausfrau Catering did a phenomenal job with my daughter’s wedding at Balla Cloiche Vineyards. The food and service were beyond expectation. The appetizers at cocktail hour were great, particularly the mini crab cakes (even made gluten free due to some allergies). There were about 90 guests and everything went very smoothly, from the plated salad and soup courses, then main course stations set up with beef, poultry, seafood choices, as well as a vegan option for a couple of guests. Dessert shooters were delicious. The rentals (tables, place settings, etc) were great and communication and flexibility were exceptional from start to finish. Highly recommend Hausfrau for any catering needs.

Festive Board Catering 

4.0

  • Serves State College, PA

Our food is, of course, a significant focus for us here at the Festive Board; however, we are so much more than food. We, the Festive Board family, are dedicated and focused on delivering a personalized, stress-free wedding experience to you! Being a full-service caterer, we offer a variety of unique & helpful amenities in our packages. Not only are all of our packages and menus able to be personalized & interchanged based on your personal preferences and needs, but we can also add items to your menu (a family recipe, for instance) to fit your menu vision. We are here to serve you--literally!

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Festive Board for our wedding catering, and while the food was really good and the staff was friendly, there were a couple of hiccups on our big day. Unfortunately, they brought the wrong table runners, and there was a mix-up with our bar setup. The coordinator told us beforehand on our planning call that we only needed to bring bitters for our Old Fashioned mixer, but just an hour before the event, they mentioned they were missing simple syrup. We had to scramble to get some last minute, which added some unnecessary stress. Overall, the food was great and most things went smoothly, but I would’ve appreciated an apology for these issues. A little more attention to detail and communication could have made the experience even better.

We chose Mellie Bellies for our May 2024 wedding, and it was an absolute delight! As a southerner living up north, incorporating a taste of home into our wedding was crucial for me. Right from our initial inquiry, Chef Bryan and his team were incredibly helpful and responsive. During the reception, Mellie Bellies was a dream team. They made sure we could enjoy our cocktail hour appetizers and dinner amidst the whirlwind of being newlyweds. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food all evening, and even days later, the compliments keep coming. If you’re in search of a caterer for your next event, I wholeheartedly recommend booking Mellie Bellies. You won’t be disappointed!

Awarded Best of Zola
Upohar truly exceeded all event catering expectations. From initial phone calls, setting up a tasting and coordinating with other vendors in the planning process to ensuring everything was set up perfectly on the day of our wedding was well thought out and detail oriented. Countless guests came up to us to let us know how delicious all the food was and that Upohar delivered the best tasting meal they had ever enjoyed at a wedding. We also cannot speak highly enough of Erica. The entire Upohar team was absolutely fantastic; but we wanted to mention how Erica went out of her way with extra phone calls and meetings to help us with selecting linen colors, re-thinking final layouts and working with our other wedding planner to make sure the event was seamless and stress-free for us and our guests. Overall we cannot speak highly enough of Upohar!
