Luongo Barbecue 

5.0

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves State College, PA

Preparing and serving slow smoked, expertly prepared Texas barbecue and rustic Italian inspired dishes 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 Texas barbecue, we are relocating to central Pennsylvania in January 2025 to begin working with family on the next chapter of Luongo Barbecue.

Luongo Barbecue was an excellent choice for catering. As a husband and wife team, they were quick to respond to emails with any questions or requests we had, providing information we requested. The food they served was tasty and hot. They played an important role in making the day a success. Thank you!

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.

Chuck was amazing! Easy to communicate with and Chuck made sure my husband and I were taken care of completely on our wedding day. They catered our rehearsal and reception, all the guests loved the food! Chuck even brought us apps to the receiving line so we were full and our meals and drinks right away. Would love to work with them again!

Tasteful Occasions creates stunning spreads of delectable cuisine for weddings, corporate events, parties, and any other gathering in need of a tasteful touch. The family-owned business boasts over 40 years of experience planning custom menus and delivering exquisite dishes that keep guests coming back for more.

Tasteful Occasions Custom Catering was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication was quick, thorough, helpful and extremely organized throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and the food they provided was absolutely excellent - everyone at our wedding raved about how delicious and high-quality the food was. They ensured we were well-fed and taken care of, and the staff were all so kind and attentive. The highlight for us was the Shrimp and Grits, which was out of this world, as well as the custom Philly Station they created for us featuring the most amazing roast pork sliders. They even brought to life my idea for a Mojito bar! I am someone who is not usually a big cake person, their wedding cake was so moist and flavorful that we were eating it for days after the wedding. Tasteful Occasions truly helped make our special day perfect, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Upohar was terrific, from the tasting to the wedding day; they were easy to communicate with and provided clear invoices with all information included. They had so many food options that we had trouble choosing our favorites. We loved having the food truck for our guests to pick up appetizers (samosas/empanadas) during cocktail hour and their entrees during the reception. All the food was served hot, and on the bamboo plates I requested. We even had plenty of leftovers to eat with friends for several days after the event. All the food was wonderful, but we especially highly recommend the beef empanadas and pollo asado entree. Don't hesitate to book Upohar for your event; they were a foodie's dream!
