Simply From Scratch is the best choice for making sure that your wedding day is well and professionally served. The food was excellent and raved about by our guests, and the bar was tended flawlessly. Jen was super helpful in taking us through the process of picking everything from the table settings to our menu, and our day-of couldn’t have gone better. Thank you so much!!

Had the BEST experience with working with Simply from Scratch as my wedding caterer. Hands down one of my favorite vendors. From the very first meeting/tasting to the day of, they were so sweet and easy to work with which was so nice when planning a wedding ? And the food was delicious!! Our friends texted us the next day saying they were dreaming about the short rib. ? Their provided bar staff and wait staff were all so sweet and helpful the day of, too! 10/10 recommend them for your wedding or event ❤️

We attended a wedding last weekend where Simply from Scratch was the caterer. Unfortunately, the service left quite a bit to be desired. Servers were directed to clear napkins and beverages from guests 90 minutes prior to the conclusion of the event, asking guests to relinquish them while clearly still in use. People were perplexed by this experience. I met briefly with the manager who clearly had no interest in understanding the experience from the guest's perspective. With nearly a dozen nieces and nephews with wedding plans on the horizon, who also attended the wedding, this caterer will not be considered.

If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding, BOOK Simply from Scratch. You won’t regret it! Highly recommend!! From the beginning stages of a tasting, to emails ,final menu selections and the service/food day of our wedding was top notch! Jennifer was so helpful and responded to all of my probably way too many emails ! I wouldn’t have wanted any other caterer to work with for our wedding. The staff day of was super friendly and professional. The food was delicious and they were so easy to work with! It was a huge plus that the linens were included with our package and they were beautiful.

Jennifer from Simply from Scratch was ABSOLUTELY amazing!! She was so sweet and easy to work with right from the start. She was so helpful in us making our food and linen choices, and honesty wouldn’t have been as perfect without her help. It top it off the food was so so delicious. There was so many people who cleaned their plates and were raving still days later about the food. Simply from Scratch even packaged up left over food (entrees, side and desserts) Probably the most perfect thing to have the day after your wedding and such a sweet idea. Seriously, if you need a caterer do not hesitate to BOOK THEM! You and your guests will not be disappointed.

Simply from Scratch was hands down my favorite vendor we hired. Talk about professional, going above and beyond, and being worth every penny! They were SO quick to respond to every message and I NEVER felt like a bother. Jennifer and Karen are the SWEETEST! I’m so sad we won’t be able to work with them anymore. I’ll have to check out their meal kits! 10/10 hire them! Not to mention everything was DELICIOUS!!

I am at the wedding still and wanted to shout out to this team of sweet servers, good chefs that know how to make hot delicious food that not only tastes good, but looks pretty! The entire process working with them was easy and fun and I really look forward to working with them again!

Simply From Scratch catered our small wedding recently. Our buffet style meal included chicken breasts, chicken tortellini, salad, roasted root vegetables, and apple pie and mini cheesecakes for dessert. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Simply From Scratch for any catering needs.

We used Simply From Scratch for our wedding on 11/12/22 at Historic Ashland. We cannot say enough good things about them! Jennifer and Karen were so friendly and easy to work with. They easily incorporated some ideas we had such as using amber colored water glasses and having a special beer for the "champagne toast" instead of champagne. They were extremely accommodating for allergies of several guests and were very communicative throughout the whole process. We enjoyed each meeting we had leading up to the wedding day. We especially enjoyed getting to taste test the fabulous mac and cheese! On our wedding day, the food was delicious, the drinks were served quickly, and everyone had a great time! The addition of the soft pretzel bar was a huge hit and my guests are still bringing it up! The ease of Simply From Scratch truly being a one stop shop for catering is so helpful in the wedding planning process. Being able to get linens, dishes, bartenders, food, drinks, and the cake all from one place made for a seamless day and so much less stress leading up to the wedding! Thank you Jennifer and Karen for leading such a wonderful company! Stop your search and contact Simply From Scratch!

We recently contracted Simply from Scratch for a work celebration. From the food, to the tablescapes, to the room set up and tablecloths…everything was perfect and we had a ton of compliments. Jennifer was so easy to work with and helped walk us through every step of setting up an event. The food was yummy—perfect for casual celebration on a beautiful Fall day.

We just had them cater a lunch at our office and I heard someone claim “these are the best chocolate chip cookies in Lancaster county”. So of course I had to try them. And I’m sorry to all the grandma’s out there, but they weren’t lying. Best in Lancaster county. Rest of the food was awesome as well. And they use Herr’s chips which is another big win.
