J Scott Catering

Super guy. Hands on all the way. Delicious food and great staff.We didn't have a wedding planner. You don't need one. These people guide you all the way. Scott even send a representative to our rehearsal.My husband posted a review, but I want to add my 2cents. Our daughter had her wedding at Phoenixville Foundry on Jan. 21st. From our first meeting with Scott, we were excited. I was interested in him as soon as I learned of his time with Inn at Little Washington! He did not disappoint. We had almost a year of planning. Every e-mail was immediately answered. Every request honored. Scott handled our event himself and was hands on all the way. From the tasting to selecting fabric and chair cushions, we had a blast. On the day of the wedding I saw Scott bustling around the Foundry. He lit candles and saw to every detail. I even spotted him during cocktail hour moving containers of flowers from the ceremony room to the reception area so they could be enjoyed the entire evening. The bar area had extras we hadn't asked for - a nice (and beautiful) surprise. Food was 5-star, beautifully presented, hot and delicious. We had a double entree and I ate every bite. The servers swept the table with effortless perfection. Needless to say we are so pleased with the entire experience. Scott came through for us and we appreciate so much all his hard work. Worth every penny. Thank you to Scott and his great team!

J Scott Catering provided extraordinary service for my wedding on Oct 8, 2011 at The Phoenixville Foundry! I could not have asked for anything more, from the very beginning they were willing to work within our budget to make sure we had everything we wanted from a reception!! Amanda at J Scott knew exactly what I was looking for and was very helpful with making sure everything turned out just right. If I could do it all over again, there would be no other company I would work with!

I can tell you all the food and decor was EXCELLENT and my husband and I received many many compliments on our caterer, and still do. What was less than impressive was the professionalism, or lack there of, that we received. We often had a difficult time getting a response to our inquiries throughout planning, and the responses we did get were, for the most part, terse and abrupt. This made for a stressful time planning and interacting with our caterer. Overall, the wedding day came together for us and as I said, the food and decor were amazing! The one final interaction we had was also very diasspointing- after signing a contract detailing the exact cost of "added time" to our wedding (in the event we decided to add time the night of the celebration, which we ended up doing...), we were asked to pay more than double that cost! When citing the contracted fee for the added time, we were told "looks like you got a great deal." I do not find that to be a "great deal", but it is the cost we contractually agreed to pay...we could have done without that final comment. Those types of interactions left a bit of a poor taste in our mouths and ultimately resulted in a less than stellar review of a caterer who did a wonderful job with the food & decor for our wedding.

J scott catering was AMAZING!!!! i fully recommend Marcel and J Scott Catering for any brides out there. Marcel did an amazing job bringing everything together - we had 3 stations with Memphis BBQ, Belgian mussels and small fries cones, and Korean jap chae, mandu and bulgogi (we are a very international family) - they pulled it off perfectly. Everyone was raving about the food, the decoration of the stations were awesome, and the whole night went seamlessly. We also had mojitos as our signature drink and they were delicious. Marcel, thank you so much for everything!

My daughter's wedding reception in August was at the Phoenixville Foundry with JScott Catering and we couldn't be happier. Everything had such a touch of class to it. Our guests were very impressed and spent the evening & the last two weeks telling us it was the best wedding they have gone too. It made me very happy for my daughter & son-in-law to have such a perfect start to their marriage!

We just recently had our wedding at the Phoenixville Foundry, and J Scott was our caterer. Amanda and her staff were fantastic! The day went just as planned thanks to the help of Amanda. They were extremely flexible, especially when you have to prepare a special dietary meal for a family member. Amanda was able to help out when it came to the linens. She gave us several different options, and we loved the final choice! Also, Amanda was able to remind me of things that needed to be done so that everything turned out just right. Her experience in the industry is very noticeable. If you are looking for a caterer, look no further J Scott is hard to beat!

J. Scott Catering is the best of the best when it comes to caterers in the Delaware Valley. I've worked with quite a few different caterers in the last five years professionally; but there was absolutely no question who would be taking care of me for our wedding reception.Let's start with the staff: Scott is a pleasure to work with - he is prompt in responding to questions and emails, he is always willing to work with you to fit a budget, and he truly goes above and beyond what you would normally expect from a caterer. Other members of his team that I interacted with (Juls, Jenny, Rose, Joe, Joanie, etc.) were always friendly, professional, willing to help, and courteous (example: one of the youngest attendees at our wedding loved the chicken satay passed hors d'oeuvre and she dropped hers on the ground, much to her disappointment. Within moments, one of the servers had rushed inside, got a new one and brought it out specifically for her - I heard about this story from no less than four guests). Bartenders were outgoing and able to mix up anything we requested.Food: The food is fantastic. We had a nice mix for our guests of passed hors d'oeuvres; bruschetta, duck potstickers, chicken satay, beef teriyaki, mini quesadillas, southwest spring rolls (the potstickers were a real hit). Loved the cheese plate and the mini desserts were flying off the table the moment they landed.Decor: Scott helped with the event rentals and flowers - you wouldn't think that rental tables and chairs could be terribly exciting, but the whole venue looked amazing.They really know how to pull together a wonderful party. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

J. Scott Catering absolutely created the picture perfect wedding day! The food, service, and personalized touch lived up to all of our expectations and more. Their team was extremely flexible when we were battling the rain showers to have our outside ceremony and accomodated our wishes to set up both options and quickly have their team wipe down the chairs last minute : ) We could not have been happier and I highly recommend them to everyone! They are extremely professional and nail every detail!

From the first meeting with J Scott, everything was perfect! He was always available & prompt to replies. Scott worked within our budget and was understanding regarding payment. My guest are continually raving about the decor and freshness of the menu. The wait staff was wonderfully patient, especially with a few inebriated guest. I STRONGLY recommend J Scott catering for any event & hope to work with him & his team again. Thanks Scott!!!

The J Scott Catering team did a phenomenal job with our wedding. Our coordinator, Marcel, was very attentive and full of great suggestions. He listened to what we had envisioned and delivered to the fullest. Trying to plan a wedding from two plus hours away can be a bit challenging at times, but Marcel did his best to minimize any additional effort from us. He was very accommodating with scheduling (even when we showed up a bit late to the tasting due to traffic). Never once did he make it about him- always put the emphasis on us and "our day". The food at the reception was AMAZING- we got so many compliments! Not only did everything taste great, but the presentation was spot on. We highly recommend Marcel and the JScott Catering team for any special events. Cheers!

Amazing food, lovely presentation, and flexible appointments with a bride planning a wedding in Chester County while living in Pittsburgh. Even the tasting session was elegant, professional, and delicious!

After seeing only two pictures of Radnor Hunt, I knew it was the exact location I was looking for. And J. Scott Catering came with it. What a relief not to have to spend time looking for another caterer! Our coordinator, Nicole, was incredible. Our personalities clicked, and she was so much fun to plan with! She always had an answer for my questions, was extremely creative, made great suggestions, and worked with us not only price, but on the menu, as well. The chef used one of my favorite recipes for one of the hors d'oeuvres for cocktail hour!! We opted for a station set-up versus sit-down, and the guests had so much fun making their own sliders, Chinese take-away, and quesadillas! I would never hesitate to call J. Scott for any other even I wanted catered. To this day, almost a year later, our friends and family still comment on the fun they had at our wedding. Thanks to Scott and everyone who made it an absolutely perfect day!!

When we set our wedding date, one of our first call was to Scott. Having used J. Scott Catering several times in the past, we knew that Scott would provide food and service that was exceptional.Scott went above and beyond in his professionalism and service. Both my husband and I have busy schedules, so we were difficult to meet with at times. Scott always accomodated us, often consulting via phone or email. Every question about every tiny detail was answered within 24 hours, and came with reccommmendations.Even having known Scott for many years, he still made planning this event special for us. He was flexible about the menu and had suggestions for each of our requests. Our guests still rave about the food at our wedding!Scott, however, helped beyond just catering in our planning. He provided us with names for vendors who were in tune with our vision for our wedding day. Our wedding day was truly one of the most magical days of my life. A lot of the visual memories of that day come thanks to Scott.

I have to tell you my search like any bride's began looking all all prospects available for my venue Phoenixville Foundry. I happened to have one day in particular my mom and I were out scouting. I had an appointment with Scott and I was running late. I had called to say I was going to be a half hour late and apologized, & offered to reschedule due to my tardiness. Scott asked me: "Will meeting at a later date possibly influence your time you have for decision making?' And I replied honestly, that it might. Scott immediately said he's rearrange his day to accommodate my still coming to meet him. We pulled in and were floored by our welcome we received...a parking spot reserved for me with my name on it. I'm sure all bride's get that, but still I loved it. We were impressed already. Scott was extremely down to earth and very honest. At the end of our meeting he offered a tasting if we were truly undecided between him and someone else. By far it was obvious this man knew how to do business & wanted ours.Now I can say, I know every bride does her research. And so you should. When the cost of the catering is 50-70% of the cost of the wedding and can cost tens of thousands of dollars, you should be certain on your selection. Knowing this, and given the fact our savings is what was paying for our wedding, when I saw on Scott's site, his other places he's worked and school he's attended, I made some calls. I got positive feedback from both places. I also contacted Best of Main Line as he'd been voted "best of", finding out that Scott was very well respected in the industry & was the preferred caterer for Radnor Hunt Club. At the tasting, my parents, husband and I sat down and were blown away by the presentation. Scott did not stay in the room while we discussed things, and his food was magnificent. Upon speaking to Scott, he mentioned that during these economic times, he may put in more hours and have to work a little harder, but in the end he felt he'd come out ahead. We knew we wanted to give him our business for sure. Scott was extremely prompt in every question I had and made sure I felt important on his list, no matter how far off our wedding was. Even a week prior when I handed him a 20 page play by play briefing of the day...he never looked at me like I was a crackhead. (No doubt he & his assistant had to be thinking it :-) I may have portrayed the qualities of a nutcase getting closer to the big day. The day went flawlessly! Scott was battling strep throat and ended up having to leave a little before he wanted to. We never knew he was gone, that's how great his team was. I had lists of every single thing that needed to make it back home for us, and his staff was 100% on top of it. I was missing nothing. The food was ravishing & portions were generous! We had chicken cordon bleu & filet. At our tasting, he offered to have the duet of both as a option for guests also. I just had to indicate selections on peoples cards. We got many compliments on every thing on the menu. I even had centerpieces that required his staff to turn on the battery operated lights, and when I walked in the room it was perfect. I can honestly say Scott & his team 1000% executed my vision. For all the time & energy he put into my big day, I only wish I had posted my review sooner for him to show my appreciation. However, three months later, as promised, I am here writing. I'd be happy to elaborate more, but I haven't left out much. Contact Scott for my information if needed. KH

Booked JScott Caterers a year in advance of my wedding. From the start they were very warm and friendly. We had two tastings of our main selections prior to the wedding due a change in entrees. They were more than willing to accomodate both of these tastings without hesitation. Leading up to the wedding communication was primarily via email, which honestly made things much easier. The caterer was very cooperative with my decorater and worked with her on the day of the wedding to allow for my own personal touch on the centerpieces as well as the reception venue. The staff was EXCEPTIONAL! They were professional and accomadating to all my guests needs. There was no problem they could not solve without causing a commotion. Guests are still complimenting me on how well the staff worked together the night of my wedding! Overall, I would highly recommend JScott Catering. I honestly had no worries all night or leading up to the event. There was nothing that they could not handle!

J. Scott did a fabulous job for our wedding. They carefully attended to every detail to help ensure that my vision of our wedding day was attained. The level of service on our wedding day and the food far exceeded any of my expectations. I cannot say enough positive comments about our experience with J. Scott.

J Scott Catering made my parents, my husband and myself feel completely at ease from the beginning. We went to a tasting that they offered at the Philopatrian, one of their wedding venues. It was amazing!We quickly booked them for our wedding on June 20, 2009...and are so glad that we dd. Our guests raved about many aspects of the wedding, but none so much as the food! It was delicious...perfectly prepared, and the service was fantastic.One of the many things I loved about working with J Scott was their new wedding packages, everything from signature cocktail down to the truffles on the table was included, and everything was divine!I have worked with Scott for a few years in my professional career, and would turn to no one else for the most important day of our lives... I will continue to reccomend him to anyone and everyone... especially those that feel that food is just as important as your wedding dress, and that ensuring your wedding guests have an excellent meal is part of the big picture! Let's face it...there's nothing worse than eating a gray piece of steak with wilted veggies!

My guests are still raving about the food at our wedding. And I have an Italian family who is hard to impress! Not only was the food great, but Scott and his assistant, Nicole, were great to work with. They were fun and always accomodating. I highly recommend J. Scott Catering!

Our event coordinator was Nicole Sigda. We knew which of their many venues we wanted our event at prior to the first meeting at the location with Nicole. We were planning a small wedding and service with about 5 months lead time. After the first meeting and tour of the location we breathed a sigh of relief that it was possible to have a tasteful event without a year of planning. Nicole gave us recommendations for many vendors that were reasonably priced, professional and wonderful to work with. They included the photographer, florist and hotel.While I am a relatively organized person, I had never planned any type of event before and was a bit nervous. Nicole was available to answer any questions about setup, timing, vendors, anything. It was great to have a sounding board when needed or suggestions where we didn't know how to handle certain details. Everyone at J Scott worked well with vendors (location, bartenders, DJ, bakery) and officiant they had not met before. You do not feel obligated to use anyone that they recommend.Our guests have been extremely complimentary of our wedding. Despite some major rain, Radnor Hunt was beautiful. Our guests enjoyed all of the food and evening, they never had to step outside once they entered. I was also able to get ready with my bridal party at the location which was very convenient even in perfect weather.All of Nicole's staff the day of the wedding were friendly and professional. Everything ran on schedule. I missed a lot of the details like favors, place cards as the bride. It's been nice to see now in my photographs how nicely they had arranged everything. I would not hesitate to recommend J Scott and Nicole for any type of event. Our wedding definitely exceeded our expectations.
