My wedding was at the Glen Foerd Mansion, December 3rd, and it was amazing!! The venue was decorated for Christmas, and was beautiful! The grounds were amazing. The staff, and service were perfect! We've got nothing but rave reviews about the wedding and the venue, and many people have stated that it was the best wedding they have been too! The food was delicious, although I wish I would have been able to eat more of it. I cannot thank them enough for helping make my day the best day of my life!

All of our guests raved about the food at our wedding. We went with the most expensive and most inclusive package available and it was worth every penny. Compared to other caterers, we got more in our package for less cost and had excellent service on the day of our wedding, amazing food that our guests have talked about for weeks afterwards AND the wedding cake thrown in. The bar selection was extensive and generously poured. Everything was set up beautifully for our wedding. Our rep was always available via email or phone and very quick to respond in most instances.

Jeannie and Dee worked with me on my wedding day and they were FABULOUS!!! Dee was very attentive and all of me and my husband's needs were met the entire day. Glen Foerd Mansion is beautiful and having my wedding there was a dream come true. I can't say enough nice things about them!

Conroy Catering services Knowlton Mansion, Laurita Winery and Glenn Foerd Mansion in the Philadelphia area. Our wedding was at Knowlton Mansion. While a higher end venue, the best part about Conroy Catering is that their wedding packages are so inclusive - the venue, the food, cake, bar service, bridal attendant, and planner and coordinator. The service was outstanding, the food amazing - the portion sizes are huge. You really truely get the most bang for your buck and a wonderful venue/atmosphere included.

Our younger daughter is a chef at a fine restaurant. The executive chef there suggested we check out Conroy Catering for our older daughter's wedding so we did. My husband and I ,being the hosts, only managed to sample some of the foods that were served and eveything we tried was so wonderful!!!More importantly, our guests are still raving about the meal. Lots of our friends are "foodies" and I know that they enjoyed a delicious meal at our affair!!! In the future I hope to attend a party catered by Conroy; I know the food will be wonderful!

My husband and I wanted a unique setting for our reception because we have been to so many ballroom weddings. We were happy to find what we wanted at Glen Foerd Mansion...it was beautiful and we had an amazing time!!!

I used Conroy Catering for my October 2011 wedding at Glen Foerd Mansion. I cannot say enough nice things about them. During the planning process I always received prompt replies to my many questions via email. The day of the wedding my husband and I were very well taken care of by the staff. Immediately following the ceremony (on site) we were offered glasses of champagne. During cocktail hour and dinner the staff was constantly checking up on us to make sure we had enough everything we wanted - hor d'oeuvres, drinks, etc. The food was delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests on the great food, the beautiful venue, and the amazing river view during the ceremony. The day of the wedding we had a guest bring an unexpected (and uninvited) guest. Conroy handled the situation perfectly. What could have been a very awkward situation went completely unnoticed - I didn't even know about the incident until the next day. The icing on the cake was when we accidentally left the top tier of our wedding cake (meant to be enjoyed on our first anniversary) at the venue. Our coordinator from Conroy personally delivered it to our hotel. They went above and beyond. Our wedding was as beautiful as I had always imagined. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Conroy Catering was fantastic to work with. They were super nice and accommodating throughout the whole process. We went with a promotional package that gave us a reduced selection of meals & appetizers, but also saved us a lot of money. They still worked with us on the menu so we were able to get exactly what we wanted. On the wedding day, our bridal assistant was fantastic. she made sure we got what we wanted to eat and drink. the event coordinator/manager was also wonderful. We had an issue with our DJ and she helped us to work through it. I would definitely recommend Conroy. They have several beautiful and unique venues. We got married at Glen Foerd on the Delaware River and everone loved the venue as well as the food. I recieved several compliments that it was the nicest wedding that they had ever went to. Food was great too.

We used Conroy Catering for our wedding at Laurita Winery. The staff including Dan and Robin were highly attentive to our needs and very professional. They helped make our wedding truly unforgettable. We opted to do the buffet stations due to the relatively high cost per person for a sit down dinner. We were at first a bit apprehensive about having a buffet, but Conroy worked with us and everything not only looked flawless but it tasted great! We never felt rushed throughout the night. Everything was seamless and we felt at ease during the whole process. Dan went above and beyond to ensure our outdoor ceremony & reception were perfect. Laurita is such a beautiful venue - thank you, Conroy, for adding to its charm!

Conroy was the exclusive caterer for my venue, Laurita Winery. If I could have chosen my own caterer, I would have chosen another. To say there were a few hiccups in the planning is an understatement. They work as a team rather than having one person assigned to you. I worked with one girl for most of the planning only to find out that she wasn't going to be there the day of the wedding. If I didn't have a wedding planner, I think this would have been very troublesome on the day of the wedding. If you decide to book with Conroy, I HIGHLY suggest having a planner.Additionally, be aware that the tasting you go to will probably not be the food you have at your wedding. If you are having a spring/summer wedding, wait to do your tasting until it is spring. They scheduled us for a December tasting only to find out the seasonal offerings weren't options for our summer wedding. We would have never scheduled our tasting for December if we had been informed. When we expressed our displeasure they offered to have a private tasting for $400. Obviously, that is outrageous and we fought to have another complimentary tasting in the spring. They quality of the food is OK. I would give it a 3/5. It just seems terribly overpriced. All in all, Laurita Winery was the perfect venue for my wedding; however, the caterer was the weakest link in my wedding planning.

Conroy Catering was great, especially for the price. Almost every guest commented on how good the food was. I know from experience that wedding food can sometimes be sub par. Not with this company...we only wish we could have taken more time to enjoy it. At least we still have our cake...anyway, I totally recommend Conroy. Thumbs up!!

We had our wedding at the Glen Foerd Mansion and it was absolutley amazing. The service and food was fantastic and every guests has been telling us this since the wedding. Bridget was fantastic to work with before the wedding and Jeannie was amazing the day of the wedding. They even worked very hard to accomadate to make up for the bus company (J&J luxury transportation) being 40 mins late to the ceremony and tried to shift things around the best they could to try and hide the lateness. The wedding was beautiful and I would reccomend ANYONE to have their wedding at the Glen Foerd!!! Thank You for being so great!

Conroy Catering did an INCREDIBLE job with our wedding cake! I found the perfect wedding cake in a bridal magazine and I was able to send a pitcure and the amazing bakers at Conroy took care of the rest! The cake was stunning! It was everything that I had dreamed of down to the last detail. I had also sent a swatch of the color from the bridesmaids dresses and everyting matched exactly! I also wanted to do a 'Philadelphia Sports' themed Groom's Cake and send them several ideas for inspiration. They really blew us away! My husband was soo surprised. AND the best part... everything was delicious!! :)

Conroy Catering did a fantastic job with the catering for our wedding at the Laurita Winery in New Egypt, New Jersey! They were extremely friendly and responsive in helping plan the day. We loved creating the menu and the food was excellent!

We had our wedding at Laurita Winery, the newest addition to Conroy's line up. Overall, the food, staff and quality were really great. My only issue with them was their lack of flexibility. They have set menus that they have used over and over at their mansion locations which I didn't think were a great fit for a winery wedding. We tried several times to come up with a more vineyard-inspired menu but they were not receptive to any changes beyond the norm without an unreasonable increase in cost. Bridget, our point person, was amazing. She was responsive and helpful and was the bright point in our interactions with Conroy. Pros: decent quality (but still wedding food), great staffCons: lack of flexiibility

Everyone at Conroy Catering is alsolutely wonderful. The ladies at the office helped me with all details including the selection our menu which was altered seemingly dozens of times. Also, when I had a hair salon crisis just 4 days before the wedding, they helped me to find a new location which was nearby and fantastic for my 9 girls. I very much appreciated how much they accomodated me, especially since I was planning my entire wedding from Germany.Our wedding coordinator reassured me of everything every step of the way. She was ultra-organized and even had a better memory and better eye than me for details. She managed to keep everything running smoothly even when I had surprise guests show up for the wedding and she accomodated our tri-lingual wedding situation seamlessly.Our bridal attendant on the wedding day was an angel. She made sure that my husband and I got to eat our delicious food and managed surprise changes in our schedule, reassured me, and stayed by my side to make sure that everything was ok. In the hectic nature of the day, she was the calm face that kept stress at bay.As for the food, many of my guests called it, "the best wedding food they've ever had". I need not say more.

The Knowlton Mansion was the first place that I looked at for my Halloween wedding reception and as soon as I saw it I knew that was it. Every other place I saw after that just couldnt compare. The catering consultant that showed me and my husband the mansion when we first visited was the same person I worked with for the next year with my planning. She was great and always available through email to help me out with whatever I needed. When she wasnt there, someone else from the catering department would help and they were all great too. Everyone I dealt with at Conroy was always very nice and very helpful. Any little requests that I had, they made them happen. The day of my wedding was like a dream come true. I get teary eyed just thinking about how perfect it all was, because I wish I could relive it all over again, it goes by so fast. The mansion is beautiful. The staff set all of my decor up exactly as I requested, it looked just like I had imagined it would. The food was excellent. The drinks were fabulous. We had a specialty drink, a pumpkin martini, and it was great. I had multiple people come up to me and tell me how great everything was and that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. My father also had people coming up to him telling him the same thing.My cake was awesome. It was beautiful, just the way I had asked them to design it, and it tasted great. I got many compliments on the cake. The wine cellar was great too, if you have your wedding there, you MUST use the wine cellar!!There were a couple things that didnt go right, but nothing too bad, and both things I didnt realize until after the wedding was over. For some reason one of the staff refused to give my mother-in-law a piece of wedding cake for my grandmother-in-law to eat (she was leaving early and wanted to eat a piece of the cake before she left, it was already cut but had not been served yet). My husband had to intervene and get it for his grandmother. That was kind of silly. And I didnt get a taste of my $8 per head dessert buffet...cheesecake, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, apple cobbler....there was supposed to be a bridal attendant assigned to make sure my husband and I got some of it, but we didnt get any of it. That was a little bit dissapointing. The bridal attendant kind of dissapeared after dinner, but I think maybe she just didn't want to interupt me and my husband dancing. The buffet went very fast, I know some of my family members said they didnt get any of it either. I feel as though they didnt provide enough considering that the buffet cost roughly $1400. But oh well. At least everyone loved the cake. The dessert buffet was probably the only thing that I was a tad bit dissapointed in...simply because I did not get any of it and because important family members also didnt get any. Im sure it was good, maybe that is why it went so fast. All of the other food was very good and there was plenty of it. One more thing, the valet lost the car keys of one of my bridesmaids. So my bridesmaid and her boyfriend were standing around for like almost an hour while the valets ran around trying to find the keys. I was upset about this and my husband and I stuck around until it was resolved. They did find the keys, which is the important thing.Conroy is very expensive, but I did get married on a Saturday in October, which is one of the pricier times to have a wedding. Im sure getting married in the offseason, or on a Friday, would be a lot less expensive. All that being said, I have no regrets at all having my wedding there. The Knowlton Mansion itself makes it all worth it, it is so amazing and beautiful. My wedding reception was wonderful and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I had my reception at Knowlton Mansion and would highly recommend it to any bride. The staff there are so easy to work with and will go above and beyond to give you anything you need. The place looked amazing, the ground were groomed well, the staff were friendly and attentive. Everyone is still raving about the food and 2 months later I'm still getting emails that it was the best wedding and reception that they've ever been to.
