Since founding J. Scott Catering in 1995, Scott has worked hard to establish a reputation for exceptional food and superior customer service. His efforts have not gone unnoticed. J. Scott Catering has been recognized locally and nationally for culinary talent and fine attention to detail, including being named for six consecutive years as "Best Caterer" by Main Line Today.
Like so many of us here in the Delaware Valley, J. Scott Catering had some huge challenges presented to us during the pre-Christmas 
snow storm. The busiest Saturday of the month our kitchen was in full production for the end of the week getting ready for many events. Saturday’s snows came in hard and so did the cancellations of events. One event just couldn’t be cancelled and that was for a fantastic bride and groom who were holding their reception at the Phoenixville Foundry. The process of planning the reception was a true delight because of the bride’s – one of my favorites — fun, casual nature. It was just a joy to work with her and I was really looking forward to putting on a great reception for her. Well, the snow and the wind came and everyone knows the rest of this story.
Our team worked hard to get an early start on their long trek to Phoenixville. I am proud to say that all of the staff arrived early and the preparations were completed quickly and efficiently. Our bride was challenged by guests calling to say that they couldn’t make it out of their driveways, as well as some wedding vendors letting the weather get the best of them. Our bride did a fantastic job of putting on her game face and still making the very best of a difficult situation. I applaud her for her impressingly calm demeanor. The guests finally arrived on shuttles and were ready to party no matter the weather.
The bar was crowded and drinks and many plates of food were consumed. We set this reception up as action stations and used the 
lobby of the Foundry to create our stations. We had a chef-attended Pasta Station with Jumbo Lump Crab, Asparagus and a multitude of other toppings. We also featured a traditional carving station among other delightful selections.
In the end, everyone had a fantastic time and the bride went away with a great smile on her face. I am proud of my team for pulling and working together to ensure that JSC produced a fantastic reception no matter the challenges.
Next blog we will let you know where all the food went for cancellations.
Cheers,
Scott
season and our client was overjoyed with the romantic backdrop to her daughter’s engagement party of 100 guests. With her home completely decorated with trees, lights, wreaths, candles and all things Christmas, the only thing missing was snow! I had already looked into biodegradable artificial snow for the evening, but the effect just wasn’t the same. We let nature take its course and by 7 pm, when guests arrived, the house was covered with a beautiful blanket of fresh snow. With snow falling, valet service allowing guests to be driven directly to the front door where the festive sounds of Christmas carolers greeted kicked off an amazing evening for all.
Shooters, Traditional Jumbo Shrimp, Petit Beef Wellingtons, and Lobster Salad Eclairs. Guests were then thrilled to create their own risotto as our chef prepared delicious combinations served in martini glasses. They also enjoyed a Pork tenderloin station with choices of Broccoli Rabe & Sharp Provolone or Traditional Holiday Stuffing and Cranberry Chutney. The evening was topped off with warm chocolate chip cookies served with ice cold milk, demi tas cups with homemade hot chocolate with mini marshmallows, and warm dark rum apple cider. The evening would not have been complete without our staff offering guests warm chestnuts from our roaster as they left for home that evening.
