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.

I used Luongo BBQ to cater lunch at an event I was planning in the FT Worth area. The food and service exceeded my expectations in everyway. Chuck was easy to work with in the planning and easily accomodated when I needed to increase my numbers. They showed up on time, delivered fabulous food and cleaned up the space excellently. I highly recommend using them...and order the peach cobbler. Trust me.

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.

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.

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves State College, PA

I am second generation catering company. Everything I know I learned working side by side with my father day in and out. I hope to do the same with my children one day. I truly love my job, on wedding days you can find me sobbing in the back as the happy couple says "I do". It is truly rewarding to be able to watch my clients commit to one another on a daily basis. That being said I know how stressful wedding planning can be and I strive to take away as much of that stress as possible.

Tasteful Affairs Catering was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first call, they were easy to communicate with, kind, and extremely accommodating to our needs and requests. The food they served was absolutely delicious - vibrant flavors and beautifully presented. Our guests raved about how tasty and high-quality the meal was. Tasteful Affairs Catering helped make our wedding day truly special and memorable.

Crystal was our coordinator, and she absolutely made our day (and the days leading up to it) a breeze. She never stopped moving and never stopped checking in with us - it eased my stress and worries by so much!! On top of that, the food was delicious! We received so many compliments on it, especially our Hors d'oeuvres and desert station! I would recommend Tasteful Occasions to anyone looking for a top quality event catering vendor!

The Backyard Bar Co 

5.0

  • Starts at $1
  • Serves State College, PA

We are a luxury mobile bartending service based out of a converted vintage horse trailer. We bring the party to you by providing everything for the bar but the alcohol. When you hire us, you get our beautiful trailer, a custom menu, certified bartenders, insurance, cups, napkins, straws, fresh squeezed juices, fancy garnishes, homemade syrups, mixers, some decor, all the fun, an alcohol shopping list & much more!

We found The Backyard Bar Co through a vendor recommendation and were so glad we did! Brittany and Candice were responsive to our inquiry and so easy to talk with. Brittany helped put us at ease and from our first phone consultation we knew we were in good hands but could not have imagined just how wonderful it was to work with them. Brittany and Candice are both wonderfully personable yet also highly knowledgeable and professional. They worked with us through phone calls, email and a tasting night to create a bar menu that let our tastes and interests shine through. The menu also brought their considerable experience and love every step of the way using top notch ingredients including homemade lavender simple syrup, in house dried citrus garnishes, luxardo cherries and environmentally considerate serving ware. We had a group chat going the week of the wedding that helped us feel excited and cared for on our day. There were a lot of last minute headaches that we had to sort through and these ladies were joy and sanity in a head spinning time. Weeks after, many guests are still raving about how sweet they both were and what awesome drinks they made. They truly helped make our wedding day the best it could be.

Awarded Best of Zola
We arranged to have the Tuck-ins team come to our wedding to set up a table with small fire stations and Tuck-ins so that our guests could roast their own s'mores as a fun, interactive dessert. All of my guests loved them and they were also able to take some home if they wanted to save one for later. Additionally, working with the Tuck-ins team was great; they're very responsive and were even able to customize the labels on the Tuck-ins to have our names and wedding date on them. It was truly a unique part of our wedding and I think everyone enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
