I don't even know where to start this review of John and his crew. We got put in touch with him as he's the exclusive event caterer at our wedding venue, Loch Aerie Mansion, but even if I were booking my event anywhere else, I'd want John and his incredible staff. He treated working with us like he was planning a wedding for family. From the jump, John as a human is down to earth, easy to talk to, accommodating, a phenomenal listener, and has a wealth of experience. As a professional, he handles everything, and thinks of everything: Food: his food is TO DIE FOR, and not just like one or two signature dishes -- he has range (important as my husband and I are vegetarians, but we have family that think a meal isn't complete without "meat") and literally everything we ate was unreal. He boxed he has all the tools and software to make communicating (especially during COVID) super easy. Staff: They were perfect and so lovely. We had a waitstaff dedicated to our head table/our hip who (unobtrusively) made sure that we constantly had fresh drinks and snacks if we wanted them all through photos, and dinner. The rest of the staff was super efficient, professional, and almost invisible in the best way. They moved our speakers from outside to inside (ceremony dinner) Planning: From the first moment we talked, he was immediately willing to talk about what we needed or didn't need as though he was planning a wedding for his niece. We were doing a crazy thing planning a wedding for COVID times, and he helped us navigate the waters of -- do we pay a deposit to tent the lawn? Will legislation let us host inside? For how many people? What rentals do we need? Ugh it was a seeming nightmare but he handled it cooly, with information, and without making us pay a single unnecessary dollar. All of the tables, chairs, linens, heaters, etc. were rented through John. He coordinated it all and made it so, so easy. John has the software to make planning easy; allseated, his guest list and floorplan software, let us control the guest list and seating and have a say in the layout of the venue for the day-of, and also provided a place where he could give us expert advice on the flow of things. He wouldn't let us make poor choices, and thought of everything from the guest perspective. Event Logistics: Because our wedding was during COVID we didn't have dancing and therefore decided to forgo a DJ/band and didn't have an emcee. But you wouldn't have known. John and his staff kept the event perfectly on schedule and helped usher people about the venue for ceremony, cocktails, and dinner. They kept us on schedule throughout dinner and speeches, and were literally perfect. I booked John with the venue Loch Aerie Mansion, and their event designer Elizabeth. He was part of the dream team that made the event come to life and works seamlessly with the others. With that trio, you cannot go wrong One million stars for John Serock + crew read more

When it was time to choose a caterer for our wedding, John Serock Catering was always in the front of my mind. I knew about the company, about John, and about the amazing service and food they provide. After we chose our venue, we realized we were "stuck" with an approved vendor list. Imagine my relief and excitement when I saw JSC listed! From the first appointment with him up until the wedding day, John and his team were so easy to work with. When I say the food is fantastic, it's an understatement. Even the tasting itself was such a pleasant experience. John is extremely down to earth and yet still very professional. He truly cares about what he does, how he treats his staff, his clients, and every little detail about your special day. He helped with the logistics of the wedding day, our guest list and seating chart woes, and was an extraordinary help the day of our wedding. I was a bundle of nerves and stress the few days leading up to the wedding day, worrying that my "dream" wouldn't pan-out, since I would not be in control of all the little details and decorations. I couldn't have been more wrong. I could have cried when I saw how perfect everything was, how attentive his staff was, and of course, how AMAZING the food all was! I even made sure I sat down and ate BOTH crab cakes for dinner because I didn't want to pass up such a good meal!! I need to also send a special shout-out to Rose, who was our "shadow" server for the day. She made sure my husband and I were always followed around with food, drinks, etc. She was super attentive and very nice. If you're looking for a caterer and are considering JSC, STOP LOOKING! You've found your caterer! read more

My husband and I really felt like we hit the jackpot with John Serock Catering. We feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Cassidy with Serock for our wedding day on September 23, 2016. You may find amazing food at many catering companies across the Philadelphia region, but Serock adds an unparalleled commitment to customer service. From the moment we walked into their West Chester office for a tasting, we were greeted so warmly and quickly bonded with Cassidy. Throughout a year of getting to know Cassidy, it felt like we were working with a close friend for our wedding day. She was the go-to person for all of our vendors during our wedding day. She ran the show. And my wedding guests noticed! They asked me, "Who was the blonde woman at your wedding? She looked so calm and organized!" And that's an understatement. Cassidy is so attentive and doesn't limit her role to "caterer". She found me in the bridal suite before the ceremony and asked how she could help. She instantly began helping set up decor. As for the food on our wedding day, everything was such a hit, from the passed appetizers to the entrees to the grilled cheese station at the end of the night! Our guests couldn't stop telling us how good the food was. As bride and groom, we were treated like royalty by our personal server. We never had an empty glass or had to look far if we needed her. We know without a doubt that our wedding day would not have been anywhere near the same without the service of Cassidy and the team at Serock. Thank you so much for making our day!!! read more

I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to express what an amazing job was done to cater my son and daughter in laws wedding in Lancaster. I have never heard so many great compliments from the guest at the events. Many said the food was the best they ever had at a wedding and several said the steak was the best they ever had. I tried all three entrees and could not have been happier with their flavor and presentation. The staff were very pleasant and helpful as were the bartenders. I would highly recommend John Serock for your wedding or other event. Could not have been better. read more

We had John Serock cater our daughters wedding at Brandywine Manor House on Sept 4, 2016. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Kristy Arnold was the person who ran our event. She is professional and friendly but really gets the job done, everything ran like clockwork, the servers were wonderful. The food, braised short ribs and jumbo shrimp stuffed with crabmeat was excellent, served hot and with a beautiful presentation. Desserts were excellent. If you have the opportunity to use them for an event you will not be disappointed. read more
