Once a year all the talented vendors on the Main Line come out to celebrate their achievements in style for “Best of the Main Line” at Drexelbrook. J. Scott Catering was once again nominated by our dedicated clients to award us Best Caterer. We were flattered and humbled for this honor for the sixth year running.
 

The event was chocked full of delicious foods, desserts, floral arrangements, clothing, jewelry and gorgeous displays around every corner. We chose to enjoy the summer with a chic yacht theme. We set sail with nautical flags, linen overlays, blue water and hanging displays. The guests came through and danced the night away while enjoying all the Best had to offer.

We served a Smoked Mozzarella and Bacon Stuffed Crab Cake with Scallop Aioli, Lettuce and Tomato with homemade Old Bay Chips. A summertime favorite with a twist!

As if it wasn’t a thrill enough to be a part of the evening, J. Scott also won 1st Place for Best Display of the night! We were so proud to have all our hard work pay off!

Thank you to our dedicated staff for working so hard to making J. Scott a success, and most importantly, thank you to all our clients for your continued support and business. We couldn’t be the Best without the best!

This past weekend was brutal – with temperatures above one hundred and the humidity percentages not far behind, it was an all around sweltering day. The heat most certainly did not bring down the spirits of the bride and groom as they were married at the beautiful home of the bride’s parents in Villanova.

The property was the perfect location for such an affair. The ceremony was held in the beautiful courtyard, the cocktail hour by the pool and the reception in a tent in the backyard. The bride and groom chose to have a mix of circle and square tables to mix up the design of the space. The theme of the wedding was a natural, earthy feel. With sage green napkins, ivory linens and crisp, white flowers the event was classy and modern without feeling overdone.

For cocktail hour, the guests were presented with: Mini Cheese Steaks w/ Whiz & Grilled Onions, California Rolls, Thai Smoked Chicken on a Wonton Crisp, Mini Caesar Salad in Parmesan Tuile Basket, Watermelon Pomegranate Shooters and Apple & Brie Phyllo Cups.

To battle the heat, the guests were served a chilled entrée of Lime Tequila Grilled Chicken Breast with a Tomatilla Avocado Salsa, Green Beans with Red & Yellow Pepper Confetti and a Summer Salad of Steamed Red Bliss Potatoes tossed in light, red wine vinaigrette spiked with sun dried tomatoes.

We wish nothing but the best for the newlyweds – especially a cool honeymoon!

It is an incredible accomplishment for a boy to become Bar Mitzvah in the Jewish faith. We were fortunate enough to be present for the ceremony and celebration following this momentous event.

It was thrilling to once again be at The Phoenixville Foundry to host such a great night. The space was filled with bright colors, a snowboard theme and a space to please both the children and adults alike.

The children were treated to their own buffet of chicken tenders, mini sliders, mini pizzas and fruit with a create-your – own milkshake bar with a variety of delicious toppings made to order. The children ate like kings!

For the adults, a light and summery salad of endive and arugula with strawberries and Roquefort cheese with a pomegranate port vinaigrette started the night. Salad was followed by a served dinner of herb encrusted veal chops with truffled mashed potatoes and sautéed asparagus. Lastly, the dessert was a Chocolate Temptation with fresh berries and berry coulis.

Both the children and adults danced the night away. It was a night none of us will forget! Mazel tov!

We’re sure we weren’t the only ones who suffered from the severe storm that blew through the area recently. Power outages, downed trees and wires were just the tip of the iceberg that many locals faced. Luckily, we didn’t have any serious damage to our shop, but we did lose power to all our major appliances, which in the catering world, is beyond crippling.
 
Our two walk-in refrigerators, hood ventilation system and our walk-in freezer were all without electricity, and with ten events requiring food preparation between Friday and Sunday, we needed a solution.

Thursday evening required all hands on deck to load all our refrigerated trucks with all the food from our walk-ins. This was no easy feat, but it was necessary to make it through.
 
First thing Friday morning we received a delivery of major proportion – a tow truck pulling a huge generator to power all our electrical needs. This generator has enough juice to power half of Malvern!

With our electric back in place, it was time to make sure that our customers didn’t suffer from the slight set-back. We worked hard to make up for lost time and all ten events were successful and prompt. We strive to take bumps in the road in stride, and while some of the clients for the weekend didn’t have power themselves, they did have the service and product they expected.
