I used Rania's for a post wedding brunch at my home and it was fabulous! They did made to order omelet's for my guests of 80+ and the rave reviews from guests were spectacular. The chefs and additional servers were professional, courteous, and knowlegable, helping wherever they were needed. Not only did my guests have a great time and great food, but so did I. I would highly recommended them and definately use them again.
We had a wonderful experience working Rania’s. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the entire team was absolutely incredible — kind, attentive, and so helpful throughout the event. Their professionalism and care made everything run smoothly, and we are so grateful for their hard work. I would highly recommend this group of professionals to anyone looking for a top-notch catering partner.
We could not be more pleased with having Rania's for our wedding catering. Everything exceeded our expectations! The food was so fresh, flavorful, and prepared beautifully. The options provided were already amazing, but we were given plenty of opportunity to customize things as needed. Cyndi the floor manager, the chefs, the bartenders, and every single staff member we encountered were all unbelieveably kind and helpful, they were so attentive to everything and went above and beyond. No one was ever without water or anything they needed the whole night. Melanie was so great throughout the whole planning process, making sure to think of and discuss everything necessary ahead of time with great suggestions. Rania's played a huge part in making our event so enjoyable for everyone. Highly recommend them for any catering needs!
Thank you Melanie and staff , you rocked our event and wowed our guests .
The menu recommendations , staff , service and execution was exceptional.
Having been in the food service industry for over 20 years, my expectation and standards are very high, rain is truly exceeded those expectations.
Melanie started the process after listening to our needs with excellent meal choices.
The staff arrived ready knowing what we needed, and asking the right questions when there were last minute choices to be made.
Chef and staff over delivered . There were nothing but compliments from our guests. I look forward to our next event, with Rania’s Catering .
Rania's was an absolute dream to work with! During and after our event, we heard nonstop reviews about how amazing all of the food was. Everyone thought it was delicious and very well executed!
Additionally, they went above and beyond in being so incredibly accommodating to our gluten-free friends especially. One of our guests said that it was the first time in a very long time that she felt like a normal person at a dinner, and I think that's just about the highest compliment that we could possibly pass on 💜
Melanie and her team went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was flawless. The planning process was clear and the food was incredible. Our day-of coordinator said this was the best caterer and staff she's ever worked with. They were all so kind and professional. I would highly recommend Rania's Catering to anyone!
For our May 2025 wedding, our venue had a list of preferred vendors with Ranias being one of the catering options. After talking to multiple caterers, I was feeling confused and unsure until I spoke with Ranias. It was the most straight forward and transparent conversation I had. Choosing Ranias as our wedding caterer was the best decision we made. Planning and paying for a wedding is not easy! The way that Ranias does business made it easy for me to understand exactly what I was paying for and that solidified them as our vendor.
Onto the food… OMG. Everyone at our wedding was complimenting us on the food. From the gorgeous grazing table, incredible cookie table execution, delicious appetizers and incredible dinner we were all blown away. We went with the filet as our beef option and everyone was raving about how perfect it was. 68 filets cooked to perfection! They even created an appetizer just for us and it was fan favorite! Melanie is such a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs!
We have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Rania's for our wedding. We worked with Melanie, and from the start communication was on point and clear. They were organized and communicated well with other vendors, and it made things go very smoothly. They honestly felt like more than just a caterer; they went above and beyond. They did things I didn't even expect them to do (for example, brought towels to dry off ceremony chairs if it rained). Everyone we worked with was also a joy, like our head chef Evan. They took our feedback at the tasting and implemented it perfectly the day of the wedding. Of course, the food was incredible. All of it is cooked on-site, so everything is hot and fresh. The appetizers were amazing, even the custom ones that we ordered off-menu. The dinner food was amazing too. I would highly recommend them as wedding caterers both for the quality of the food and the service we received.
Rania's was one of the preferred vendors at my wedding venue (MuseumLab) and we are so glad that we chose them. They were incredible to work with- very open to any suggestions we had about the menu and flexible with the timeline. And of course, the food was amazing. I'm still dreaming about the salad and the butternut squash ravioli. My only complaint was that I was so busy at the wedding that I didn't get the try any of the cocktail hour passed apps, because I was told that they were incredible.
Great experience and value! We had our wedding reception at The Pennsylvanian and needed to select a caterer from three options. Melanie was the best in terms of communication, always very prompt with email. The menu options are plentiful - you will find something to your liking. The menu tasting experience was spectacular and made the decision a no-brainer. Communication, planning, and ultimately execution on the day of the reception were all stellar. Highly recommend.

Rania's Catering was not only a pleasure and ease to work with, but it was some of the best wedding food I have had (not just because it was my own wedding!) For serving >200 guests, each meal was beautifully plated and served at an appropriate temperature. They considered all of the details from the amount of salt on each meal all the way to designing the cookie table. In addition, the service and staff were professional and friendly! We highly recommend Rania's Catering!
Rania’s catered my daughter’s wedding at the Pennsylvanian. The cocktail hour, dinner and bar service were impeccable, the meal was outstanding and the staff service was exemplary. I highly recommend Rania’s catering for all special occasion catering needs!~~ Daina 10.18.24
We recently used Rania Catering for an alumni event, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. Their team was professional, attentive, and made everything run smoothly. I would use them again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend!!!
Ranias’s catered my wedding at The Pennsylvanian and they did an amazing job. The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and Melanie was with us through every step of the process to make our vision come true. Can’t recommend them enough!
We used Rania's catering for charcuterie for our August 2024 wedding. They were very easy to work with, reasonably priced, and the layout/food options were perfect. Many people made compliments on how good everything was and how nice it looked. Highly recommend!
