    Delicious food & fabulous service

    Perfect Setting was fantastic to work with. Sarah made the process so easy, helping us develop a menu that our guests truly enjoyed. They were very respectful of allergies. And the serving staff were great! Our guests haven’t stopped talking about the delicious food and fabulous service. Highly recommend!

    10/10 best experience

    Nicole Sigda and her team was absolutely immaculate. The food, service, communication, from start to finish exceptional. We chose Perfect Setting for our wedding at Merion Tribute House. The food for this day was very important to me and we wanted a wide variety not just a seated serving meal of beef or poultry. Perfect Setting offered food stations of all varieties, and checked every selection off my mental list of food we would like to enjoy. From the bay station, grill station, a potato bar, all the pastas your heart desires, we did it all. Her team even organized platters for us to take home since our nerves got the best of us and our appetites were nonexistent. Every guest was raving about the dinning experience. We had the experience to enjoy all of our stations the following day and we were blown away. If you ever get the opportunity to cater an event do yourself a favor and choose Perfect Setting.

    Awesome Caterer

    Our experience with Perfect Setting was overall amazing. Everything we tried and decided on at the tasting was on point and we found no fault with any of the entrees or hors d'oeuvres. The salmon and beef were cooked to perfection with great flavors. We would definitely recommend this vendor to anyone.

    100% Perfection

    Jerry and his staff have been been 100% fantastic! from the First phone call to the wedding day I could have not been more pleased and happy with our experience with Prefect Setting. We had a longer experience then most would have with perfect setting due the Pandemic. Jerry through having to change our wedding day FOUR times Jerry was never upset and ready to make our Wedding day special. I would recommend Perfect Setting to any one and everyone. Thank you Perfect setting for going above and beyond our expectation's for the past two years of planning and planning and finally executing a wonderful wedding experience.

    Recommend without hesitation

    We used PSC for a (large) pre wedding dinner at the Vue on 50. The entire team (including the owner) were delightful to work with. Our planner Nicole was exceedingly helpful and patient. And the food was terrific! Everyone enjoyed, and we received an abundance of compliments from our guests. Would unqualifiedly recommend PSC for your event.

    Perfection

    Perfect setting is amazing. Full stop. When I say they made my actual dreams come true for our wedding, I mean it. We went into planning not having a clue what we wanted, other than ‘not Buffett and not sit down’, just a bunch of our favorite foods all in one place. From that initial thought, Sara at perfect setting had our back. She meticulously planned out our entire menu with us. Did perfect settings have corn dogs on their menu? Nope. But when I told Sara I would LOVE corn dogs for our cocktail hour, she said no problem. We decided on stations, and Sara and her team customized every single aspect of them. From mixing and matching the food options at each station to helping me through every single meltdown I had, Sara and perfect setting were just an absolute dream. Every step of the way Sara was the calm to this brides crazy - she 100% put my mind at ease leading up to, and on our big day. And on top of that, we heard multiple times from so many guests that this was the best tasting food they’ve ever had at a wedding. I truly cannot stress enough this I would hire perfect setting ten times over.

    It's In the Name, Perfect!

    Perfect Setting Catering was excellent from start to finish! We found them after our original venue closed six weeks before our wedding date. Nicole and the rest of her team were extremely responsive, worked with us to put our menu together and were very flexible and understanding of our situation. Because of the last minute changes, we didn’t get a chance to do a tasting but everything still turned out great. They also worked with Bredenbeck’s bakery for the cake & desserts (which we did get to taste) and they were also great. You definitely get your money's worth with Perfect Setting and one of our guests said that “it’s one of the best weddings, food wise, that they’d ever been to”.

    The Best Caterer For Your Wedding!!!

    There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our experience(s) were with Perfect Setting Catering. Between Deb, Jerry, and their team, they helped to craft what was the best 3-day wedding weekend we could have possibly imagined!

    They also had the BEST, most elevated menu we could find in the area of Villanova and it did not go unnoticed.

    Guests were treated with a full bar and wait staff for our rehearsal dinner held at Meadowbrook Estate, a wonderfully catered wedding at Appleford Estate, and a Farewell BBQ party that everyone is still talking about.

    Thank you Perfect Setting for helping to create an unforgettable weekend in celebration of our marriage!

    Exceptional in all regards

    My husband and I got married at Appleford Estate in August 2021, and we chose Perfect Setting as our caterer. Our family and guests have been raving about the food for weeks. We were most impressed by their service (though the food was tremendous). As the bride and groom, we felt they did a great job at ensuring we were enjoying each course of the menu that we picked. My husband kept joking that they assigned us "secret service," who followed us around throughout the night with hors d'oeuvres and prepared us plates and drinks while we were mingling. We chose food stations (beef carving, seafood, and pasta), and our guests loved having many options to choose from. We were blown away by how delicious it all was. Thank you to Deb, Jerry, and their staff - we would recommend them to anyone!

    Perfect Setting Catering was more than perfect!

    We had our wedding catered by Perfect Setting Catering. When we met with Nicole for our tasting we truly loved our experience. She customized our menu instead of giving us a package and telling us to pick from it or pay to change. It was definitely different planning a wedding during a pandemic, but Nicole and Perfect Setting were so friendly, flexible and accommodating. In fact, Nicole made a perfect suggestion for Jeff and I when our location had to change due to COVID regulations – and we are so grateful for being able to have our first dance where we originally planned! The food….oh my god, the food was AAAAmazing! Everybody raved about it and to be honest, are still talking about it! Jeff and I love food so we wanted to actually eat at our wedding – Nicole assigned one of her team members to us, Yvonne. She was unbelievable – she should be assigned to every bride and groom. Yvonne brought cocktail hour to us, literally! She brought us drinks, butlered hor d’oeurves, and even went around to our stations and made us platers. Our favors were to-go bags with all Philly foods for everyone to take home. A mini cheesesteak, mini hoogie, soft pretzel, tasty cake, and peanut chews were in each bag and WOW, what a hit! We would highly, highly recommend them to anyone!!

    Truly a Perfect Setting

    "What would you like to eat?" A question every bride longs to hear and the question Deb Diehl asked. It was the most relieving question to have been asked amid the when, where, how, who myriad I was getting. She took me privately through Hilltop House and she made me feel like I was the owner of the whole property. We were planning a grand party and she was my personal assistant. I was never pushed or rushed or bombarded with emails and calls to make a decision or roped with "we have others interested." Even when my parents and I were running late on the day of our second tour she was understanding and spoke to my parents in detail everything as she had with me. We all were so welcomed and pleased to work with such a wonderful company and to know that there was no cookie cutter package or rules it would truly be MY wedding in anyway she could accommodate

    Perfect Job on our Perfect Day by Perfect Setting!

    Perfect Setting could not have been better! Nicole provided extremely responsive and attentive customer service, ensuring that we were working side by side every step of the way. The staff was friendly and followed the decor directions perfectly in order to bring our vision to life. Last but not least, the food was BOMB. Typically food isn't discussed much once the drinks start flowing, but man--we received endless compliments on the quality of our meal. Remarkable quality at a reasonable price. Nicole and Perfect Setting are a huge part of what made our big day dang near perfect!

    Perfect Setting Created a "Perfect" Wedding Reception

    Jerry Diehl, the owner of Perfect Setting Catering in Paoli was a pleasure to work with . He was responsive, polite and very personable. The moment we sampled the food during the tasting, our daughter knew that she wanted this caterer and other tastings paled in comparison. On the day of the wedding he did not disappoint. The staff was very polite and pleasant so the entire experience was very professional. Many of our guests happen to be "foodies" and great cooks and they commented favorably. Even my cousin who was the owner of a very successful restaurant as well as a past catering director for one of Philly's major hotels said that it was the best wedding he ever attended. Kudos to Jerry and his staff!! As the mother of the bride, I was very pleased with the results.

    The name is the experience - Perfect Setting!

    Magical!
    Everything was perfect; as the name indicates - the absolutely perfect setting!!!
    This was a second wedding for my now husband and I; we are older and wanted a joyous, fun event.
    In comes Perfect Setting....the service impeccable; staff friendly and accommodating; while unobtrusive and the food was delectable.
    And the loving care shown to our guests and especially to us as the bride and groom; there was even a plate of food given to each of us, so we were assured to eat!
    We felt so special that Deb was on site for our entire reception; we were so grateful she were there! Nothing was overlooked.
    Food was fabulous - we opted for heavy hors d'oeuvres and dessert instead of a sit-down dinner. We wanted our guests to mingle, enjoy each other's company and partake of great food and drink. Our goal was for everyone to have a wonderful time and leave satisfied and happy. Success!!!
    We heard nothing but rave reviews about the food. We are thoroughly enjoying the leftovers right now; they were packaged perfectly to keep each selection fresh.
    And Deb gave us such sage advice on the amount of food needed and the type that would appeal most to our invitees. She also suggested amount of spirits for the number of guests - no guessing on our part.
    The desserts were amazing! We opted out of a wedding cake and went with cheesecake, chocolate dipped strawberries and lady kisses (almond macaroons, marshmallow and chocolate). The cheesecake came with various toppings, the chocolate surrounding the strawberries was just plain decadent and the lady kisses - I think I ate 10 of them myself. Absolutely exquisite and so delicious!!!
    As I mentioned previously, every detail was attended to - both during the reception and afterward. Left over hors d'oeuvres were packaged separately for our enjoyment afterwards. Even our champagne glasses were wrapped and tucked away in bubble wrap.
    This experience was nothing but pleasure. Our sincerest, heartfelt thanks to Deb and her staff. We will be recommending you to all of our friends.

    Jerry and team are the BEST!

    We had an absolutely awesome experience working with Perfect Setting on our Oct 5th wedding in Chester Springs. From the very first phone call we had over a year ago I knew we'd be in good hands - I think Jerry and I spoke for over an hour about our vision, and I hung up the phone really feeling like he and his team were personally invested in our wedding. My fiance and I met in person with Jerry and had several emails and a million phone conversations with him throughout the planning process and always felt like everything would be taken care of, even down to the silliest requests and smallest details. And then, on the actual day of our wedding, Jerry was there and worked right alongside our moms to set everything up, then stayed for the duration of our reception helping all of the staff to ensure that everything was running smoothly. All of the staff members were fabulous, and made sure that my husband and I always had food and a glass in our hand. And, not to mention, the food was AMAZING and got rave reviews ("best wedding dinner I've ever had!") from all of our family members. I can't imagine trusting the food, drink, and running of our wedding to anyone else. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

    Nicole and Perfect Settings were great for our wedding. The food was awesome and they were very accommodating of the last minute change to move the ceremony inside. They kept things moving throughout the night and everyone was very happy with their meals.

    Leading up to the wedding Nicole was super flexible with scheduling and helping us pick out or food selections to have all our favorites. They were also accommodating of our Cookie Table and made sure everything looked beautiful!

    They were great to work with, their pricing fit our budget, and our guests were still impressed with the meal. Would highly recommend!

    Loved our experience with Perfect Setting! Jerry was very easy to work with, and his wealth of experience came in handy as he helped us develop a timeline and walked us through every step of our wedding day. He was invaluable on the day of, coordinating with the other vendors and helping behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly. We had some non-standard food ideas and Jerry worked with us to make our wedding menu our own, and the food was a huge hit among our guests!

    Jerry and his team at Perfect Setting were wonderful to work with from start to finish. We are so glad we chose them as the catering team for our wedding. Jerry was very professional, responsive, and flexible. He listened well throughout the process to our hopes and vision for our wedding day, and made it happen, while also providing us with helpful input based on his years of experience. On our wedding day, the entire catering staff was attentive, courteous, hospitable, and friendly. The Perfect Setting team helped us set up our venue as well, and it looked beautiful and just as we envisioned. In addition to the experience of working with Jerry and his team, the food was absolutely delicious! We received so many compliments from our guests. They were very good about accommodating special dietary requests, and made all of our guests feel comfortable. We would most definitely recommend Perfect Setting to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

    We hired Perfect Setting to cater our wedding at Appleford Estate this past weekend. We truly could not be happier with how the day went. Everything ran exceptionally smoothly, efficiently, and without a hitch. The food was incredible and we received many comments from our guests echoing that. The time between the first and last guests receiving their meals was impressively short (I worked a catering gig years ago and know how difficult this is to accomplish!). Beyond the food being amazing, Jerry and the team at Perfect Setting were truly a pleasure to work with. I was very nervous in the hours before the wedding, and each interaction with Jerry put me at ease and made me realize that Perfect Setting would handle everything and I could just relax and enjoy our special day. Which is what I did! We are beyond grateful to Perfect Setting for ensuring our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a caterer!
