Thank you for inquiring about Perfect Setting to cater your wedding reception.

Perfect Setting Catering is a full service custom catering company located in Berwyn, Pennsylvania. Adept in a wide variety of fine cuisines, we prefer a style of understated elegance.

This approach is best exemplified by our wait staff. Smartly attired in crisp "black & whites" with full black apron, all are highly trained professionals. Our servers are relaxed and friendly, but always appropriate.

At Perfect Setting, presentation is the key. From candelabras and chafers to cutlery and coffee service, silver is always abundantly employed. Specially selected custom linen adds texture and color to our table settings and three-dimensional buffets. Hors d'oeuvres are formally buttered and uniquely garnished.

Most importantly, our standards are rigorously upheld by the supervisors and ownership of Perfect Setting Catering. We personally manage every event. We know of no other way to do it. Give us a call today to discuss your vision of how this very special day should unfold....

Any Event... Every Detail... Just As You Picture It!

"On a day when everything has to be Perfect..."

The enclosed menu suggestions are designed to give you a sense of our style and pricing. Please keep in mind that we can do a lot more. Don't hesitate to tell us what you want. As true custom caterers, Perfect Setting is always ready to start with your ideas.

Three different reception styles are presented in this wedding guide: Seated Served, Buffet and Food Station Reception. Per person pricing can be found after the entrée selection for both the Seated Served and Buffet packages. For Food Stations we offer a base price that includes hors d'oeuvres, starch and vegetable, coffee service, staff and equipment. The remainder of your menu is built on an "a la carte" basis. All package pricing is based on a guest list of 125 or more and a recommended reception time frame. For smaller groups simply ask for a quote.

Our prices cover menu, staff (including gratuity), linen, china, silver, glassware, buffet decorations, bar set-ups and floral accents.

There are absolutely no hidden costs in the prices quoted in this guide. For example, Perfect Setting will never tack a gratuity onto the end of a bill. We build all labor into the first price you receive. Tables for seating and chairs are typically added after the reception site and style of menu have been determined. Beyond that, the only "add on" are upgrades and 6% Pennsylvania state sales tax.

Optional services and amenities appear after the menus section. For instance, you may want to add specialty linen overlays. Seating options are also discussed in detail. Finally, we offer a breakdown of all the "included services" mentioned above. Please click the Sample Menus link above to go to the Wedding Guide.

A Note About Reception Styles

Seated Served

A traditional plate served meal generally preceded by a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres. Since complete seating is required for all guests, certain function sites may not be appropriate unless a tenting option is available. Reception would normally run 4-5 hours.

Buffet

This menu is presented on a single buffet. A cocktail/hors d'oeuvres hour is usually presented before the buffet is opened. Client may opt for limited or "casual" seating or complete seating. Buffet receptions normally run 4-5 hours.

Food Stations

Food stations are often theme-based as in "Pasta Station" or "Seafood Bar". A heavy hors d'oeuvres menu accompanies a variety of stationary displays and action stations. Casual seating is recommended with function times ranging from 4-5 hours.
