My daughter got married this past weekend at the Ballroom at the Ben. We choose the Ben and Finley Catering because not only had we heard how wonderful the food and service were, we were expecting many out of town guests and wanted to make the venue convenient to the airport and transportation. My family and many guests are from New York and included many people in the entertainment industry who are used to attending lavish affairs. I won't say they are jaded; they are wonderful but are not easily impressed. Well, the compliments on the venue and how beautiful it is; the food and how fabulous, plentiful and "un-wedding-like it was" and the service keep coming. Our guests say the food was like that they've had in the finest restaurants in the world. The service was white glove all the way - and the venue is so beautiful and historic, it's no wonder it was chosen to be featured in the movie Silver Linings Playbook. We looked at many venues when my daughter first became engaged - everywhere from NYC to northern NJ to CC Philadelphia. When my daughter saw the Ben, she knew from the start that this was where she wanted her wedding. Trish Finley was so easy to work with, so charming and so much fun. Weddings are nervous making but Trish kept us calm and gave us great advice on food and drink choices. She knows her stuff and we trusted her implicitly. She also made us feel like VIPs every time we met with her. She always remembered our names and wedding date - my daughter had a two and a half year engagement - and made us all feel so special. That's not an easy task - and many others with whom we met didn't do that. I don't have enough complimentary words for Ott Ricci, the superman who is the maitre d' and wedding organizer extraordinaire. Under his exemplary care, talent and skills, we were made to feel like royalty that evening. Every single one of our guests complimented us on how beautiful and fun the wedding was. The food was beyond anything I've ever experienced at any other wedding or party. To say it was copious is an understatement. It flowed - and it was all delicious! From the cocktail hour to the dinner to the incredible desserts (thank you, Marilyn and Potito Bakers), everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests were treated to an extraordinary evening and our beautiful daughter and her wonderful husband had a wedding they will remember fondly for the rest of their lives. The evening was beyond anything I could have imagined. Our guests enjoyed every minute as did we - but most important, my daughter and my new son-in-law had the wedding of their dreams come true. Thank you, Trish, Ott, Marilyn and everyone else we worked with at Finley Catering for giving my daughter and son-in-law memories to last a lifetime! read more
