Just attended an event catered by Mountain Laurel Catering. I am not a huge fan of catering because the food is usually processed and warmed up. Mountain Laurel was different. I enjoyed the breakfast quiches and fresh fruit for breakfast. Lunch was also very tasty with a fresh salad, fresh bread and chicken breast that wasn't dry as a bone. The best part, the desserts which everyone raved about. Also, the flavored teas were great too. At my next event I will definitely give them a call.

I was impressed by all of Mountain Laurel Catering’s options at first. However, after booking with them, it was really difficult to communicate. To schedule a tasting, I had to continuously follow up and it felt like I was causing an imposition. Between the tasting and a week before my wedding (several months) I did not get any follow up with the company at all. When trying to set my menu, I was sent incomplete and incorrect revisions and it was extremely stressful to not have a correct final menu right before my wedding day.The day of my wedding, multiple food items were great but multiple items were not as expected. I specifically ordered a dessert package with a 2-tier wedding cake plus a sheet cake to cut and serve. I was delivered a tiny single tier round cake and no cake to serve my guests. Several months later, I am still so disappointed that due to their horrible communication and their disorganization, I did not have a wedding cake at my reception.I also specified a VIP table that was to have their food served first, where my parents were seated. My mother’s dinner was already cold when it was served to her.After communicating our disappointments to MLC after our wedding, they were unable to remedy the situation. I would not recommend working with them, and I highly recommend seeking other catering recommendations.

Mountain Laurel catering is no joke. They’re amazing, honest, and great cooks. When my (now) wife and I were contacting vendors for our wedding, we knew food was a major thing not to gamble on! We looked at a few places, and Mountain Laurel came out on top. The private tasting was fantastic, only 1 of the like 15 things we tried (risotto balls) wasn’t “amazing” - but everything else was. So they immediately said “yeah, they aren’t our best, but our crowd favorite for vegan options is the butternut squash shooters.” And let me tell you, they were right! The day of, the food was incredible. Everyone raved about the apps, and they made sure my wife and I had a sampling of everything, and they made sure our other vendors were fed. They really did a fine job and we are beyond appreciative that they helped make our special day that much more special!

Mountain Laurel Catering has so many great and interesting options to choose from! My husband is from Trinidad, and their team worked with us to incorporate food from his culture. So many of our guests said it was the best food they've had at a wedding. Thank you!

Hands down the BEST catering company in the area. From day one, working with Ally was nothing short of amazing. My now Husband, and I went in for a private taste testing and instantly connected with Ally. When we started talking about our food preferences, we said we wanted a menu that was "warm, hearty, and full of holiday spices" for our November fall wedding. They customized a menu for us that was SPOT ON with our vision. Leading up to the wedding, their new portal made it very easy to pick and choose what we were looking for from glassware, to linens, and submitting final details. The day of the wedding - the staff was SUPER professional and so organized. As the Bride and Groom, they treated us like royalty! We felt so special. They made sure to bring us and the bridal party hors d'oeuvres as we did the formal photos after the ceremony. That was a really great touch so we didn't miss out. Then during the reception they delivered our signature drinks to us and constantly kept checking in to make sure we were OK and if we needed anything! Everyone RAVED about the food! Even a week after the wedding, we are still getting comments from friends and family about how good the food was and the best bacon wrapped scallops they have ever had! Also their tomato soup, is the best I have ever had! Highly HIGHLYYY recommend Mountain Laurel Catering! Best in the business!!!

If you are looking for wedding food that isn't just bland wedding food, search no more!! the food was AMAZING!! My guest cannot stop talking about it from cocktail hour, to main course, to dessert, to late night snacks!! They helped us create fun signature drinks and the bar tenders were so nice. The star of the experience would be working with Ally. She was truly amazing to work with and so so nice! Anything we wanted they could accommodate with out any hassle and she made the experience so enjoyable!

I always enjoy working with Ally! The food is amazing and so is the service!

Catered a relatively small corporate function for us. Professional, courteous, and helpful. Top quality food and excellent presentation. From planning to execution, Mountain Laurel made it easy and we couldn't be happier with the results.

If you’re planning a wedding in PA, NY, or NJ and need a caterer, RUN — don’t walk — to book Mountain Laurel. Not only is their food absolutely delicious, but their entire team is fantastic.I cannot say enough good things about our experience with MLC. They were a dream to work with — especially Ally H. Ally worked with my now husband and I to curate a menu throughout the day that was true to who we are — including the ordering and managing of all tabletop rentals. She was/is a rockstar and made something pretty stressful seem very manageable.Our guests RAVED about the food — and these were/are some very picky New Yorkers. MLC will truly bring your vision to life — whether you need Italian hoagies for a sentimental family moment, a cannoli-inspired dessert, a purple birthday cake for a family member, or a robust list of specialty cocktails. If you book MLC, make sure to include their pierogies at cocktail hour! They’re out of this world.MLC was the first vendor we booked after reading some rave reviews and they did not disappoint. From the first phone call, to our tasting, to the day-of — they did everything they could to make sure we were heard, and that our wishes — no matter how wild — became reality.

Just had an amazing experience with Mountain Laurel Catering. Friendly and professional from day one. They worked with me to find the perfect menu to fit my budget. On the day of our event I literally had nothing to do. They took care of everything. It made the day stress free and enjoyable. We were able to focus on having fun with our guests. I highly recommend their services. You will not be disappointed.

I can't say enough good things about Mountain Laurel Catering. We chose them as the caterer for our wedding and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. They were welcoming, helpful, and thoughtful throughout the entire planning process. Our rep, Ally, was absolutely amazing to work with and so patient with us as we were trying to decide our meal selections and table layouts.Day of services at the wedding were fantastic. They were attentive and kind, making sure that not only just me and my husband, but all of our guests and VIPs were cared for the entire day. The food was outstanding, and we're still receiving compliments from all of our friends and family. We also used Mountain Laurel for our wedding cake and dessert, and it was delicious!Cannot recommend them enough. They really go the extra mile above other catering companies that I've encountered at other weddings.

Highly recommend, food is phenomenal and owners are beyond amazing!

We loved working with Mountain Laurel Catering for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were always incredibly responsive to all of our questions. We were coordinating a cross-country wedding, so they worked with us to arrange a tasting at a time that worked and responded to all our emails incredibly quickly. No question or comment was too small. When the day itself came, the food was amazing and guests couldn’t stop commenting. They made sure that we were eating and well taken care of, as well as all of our guests. Cannot recommend them highly enough!
