FAQ
How should I choose a company for catering in Philadelphia and the Main Line?
Trying to find a company to perform almost any service can be intimidating, especially in Greater Philadelphia, where there are always so many options. This certainly holds for catering in Philadelphia and on the Main Line. This is how we at Deluxe Catering Philadelphia suggest you go about finding the right caterer for your special event. Use your favorite search engine (,such as Google,) to search “catering in Philadelphia” or “catering on the Main Line”. This will give you a good list of options. Here’s the key: just pick a few of those caterers, with a strong preference for companies with high ratings and lots of feedback! On Google for example, all the caterers you really consider should have at least four out of five stars, and at least ten ratings.
Contrary to common thinking, these are not necessarily the most expensive caterers. If you know what kind of food you want, you can use that to choose among highly-rated options. It doesn’t hurt to look at the websites of many companies that do catering in Philadelphia to get a sense of their style and services - just don’t get bogged down in it. Digging through dozens of websites can be a real information overload and cause exactly the anxiety you’re trying to avoid here! (Keep in mind, if you do want to spend a lot of time browsing the websites for companies that do catering in Philadelphia, the two most important things to look for are the pictures, and the testimonials.)
Once you’ve got a small handful of top choices - who, again, should all be highly rated! - call these caterers and do a phone consultation to see if they can meet your needs. This is a much better, and easier, way to get the information you need than digging around online. Once you’ve talked to the caterers on your short list, you should have a sense of who can do the best job at the best price. Still, for many events - weddings, for example - it’s crucial that you have tastings. Private tastings can be arranged during your phone consultations, and alternately, you can find out if the caterers under consideration are doing any public events where you might be able to get a taste of what they do.
We at Deluxe Catering Philadelphia hope to get your business, whatever the occasion. Call us for a phone consultation and schedule a food tasting with us today!

How can I ensure that my wedding, dinner party or corporate event will be elegant?
