Founded in 1983 by the Milillo family, P & P Caterers has been serving the Greater Philadelphia area with a full range of exceptional catering services for numerous special events... and affairs. With a strong focus on quality and professionalism, they are well-known in the area for going above and beyond the call-of-duty!

Starting with a decadent cocktail hour in the adjoining Fountain Room, guests eagerly anticipated the moment the doors to the main ballroom would fling open, revealing a well-appointed setting for an awesome party!

Kristen and Joseph's friends and family were intensely focused on the party, making it very obvious that we could not open the dance floor fast enough!

After the cake was cut and the dance floor was opened, it was like the dam has broken and people couldn't help but flow onto the dance floor!

The mood in the room was one of great joy and celebration and people stepped up, one after another, requesting song after song to dance the night away!

What a great event!

Congratulations, Kristen & Joseph!

A March Snow In Philadelphia

What an outstanding evening! Danielle & Patrick's wedding reception was hands-down one of the best events I've ever been a part of!

Danielle & Patrick drew upon numerous creative resources when it came to making their event as memorable as possible.

Because Patrick's family has an extensive history in boxing, they entered the room to the Rocky Theme song, a "phavorite" around here. What happened next was something that none of their friends and family had ever seen before. A light snow fell over the bride and groom as they shared their first dance as husband and wife.

You read that right. It snowed in the reception hall while the bride and groom danced under sparkling snowflakes. You can view a short video of it here.

After dinner, the cake was cut, the parents' dances were done and it came time to throw the bouquet. Danielle had a special bouquet made up for this moment: A fortune bouquet. The bouquet was divided into five smaller bouqets, each with a small strip of paper sewn to it. Each piece of paper had a small inscription on it telling the lucky catcher how they would fall in love, when, with whom, etc. Very cool!

I wish more wedding receptions had the sort of signature flair that Danielle and Patrick's had! It was very obvious to everyone that they had worked very hard to completely astound their guests!

Congratulations, Danielle & Patrick!

Danielle & Patrick's comments about their wedding entertainment: "Steve was one of the best DJs I've ever heard! He was professional from the very first meeting. I was so concerned with whether or not my guests would have a good time or not and Steve did an excellent job. Steve was very informative and had wonderful ideas for the reception itself. It was a pleasure working with him, and I would hire for any and all parties I have in the near future! Thanks again Steve, you rock!!!"Permalink
