Any experience with these caterers?

Hi ladies, I am looking into hiring one of these three caterers for my outdoor wedding reception in Lancaster:

Artistic Foods Catering
Chef Exclusive
Events Etc. by the Hershey Pantry

Can anyone tell me of their experience using any one of these caterers? Please be as detailed as possible.Thanks!

My venue has their own food, but I have heard great things about Artistic Foods.  I had contacted them because if we picked a different venue, we needed a caterer, and their response time was very fast, and extremely friendly!

We are using Events Etc. for our reception in September.  So far they have been good......they offer a free tasting and they get back to you fairly quickly.  We had a couple misunderstandings as far as price, etc. but it all got straightened out.  The food we tasted was really good and we are getting our cake there too.  Same cakes they serve at the Hershey Pantry which are really yummy.

I can't offer any recommendation (yet) for Chef Exclusive, other than to say I've called and talked to their event planner. She's been very responsive and seems willing to work to create a menu that will work for you. I haven't decided yet who I'll be contracting with. Good luck, and let us know who you choose!

We are using ARtistic Foods. I've not had their food, but my parents swear by them. Also, the venue we're using only used Artistic Foods for their events.  Ben is the owner, head chef, and he is super nice and flexible. You have up to 10 days prior to the wedding to change the entire menu. And they take care of tables, chairs, linens, china, bartenders, set-up, tear-down, etc.  So far my experience has been great! Good luck...hope this helps!
