Luongo Barbecue 

5.0

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Lancaster, PA

Preparing and serving slow smoked, expertly prepared Texas barbecue and rustic Italian inspired dishes is the greatest joy in my life. There are no short cuts in barbecue and that's what I love about it. We started Luongo Barbecue to glorify the Lord and grow the Kingdom of God. We use the business as a means to feed and serve our community. After spending 30 years in Texas we have relocated to central Pennsylvania to begin working with family on the next chapter of Luongo Barbecue. Winners of "Best in Show" and "Best Entrée" at Taste of Western Lancaster County 2025 for our brisket, pulled pork and peach cobbler!

Luongo Barbecue was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was fast, understanding, and quick - they were always responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - they were highly organized, the food was absolutely delicious, and their team was quick and friendly. They made the process of getting our plates so easy, and they made sure to come introduce themselves to the bride and groom and tell us congratulations.

Upohar was the perfect choice for our wedding, not sure where to begin with how pleased we are. Amazing backstory worth checking out on their site, we love how their food is prepared by individuals and the home cooking comes through. Stephanie and everyone so helpful, from the first meeting, to tasting, to the big day they are incredibly kind, organized and helpful. And the food, can’t beat it. We went with Spanish food and everyone raved about it. Everyone couldn’t stop stuffing themselves. Me and my bride are vegan, we have family with strong gluten intolerance, and most of our family wants meat, we had no trouble accommodating everyone. Do yourself a favor and go with Upohar if you want truly authentic homemade delicious food for your guests.

Carabella's Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Lancaster, PA

Cooking has always been in my blood. My parents came to the U.S. from Sicily when I was a child. My dad owned restaurants/pizza shops for years, and my mom is an amazing home cook. I grew up surrounded by great food, learning and falling in love with it. I knew I wanted to work in food but wanted more than pizza shops. I attended Le Cordon Bleu in Pittsburgh, completing a 1-yr intensive French culinary program. I worked at a 5-star resort (Nemacolin), Hershey Hotel, Bricco (Upscale Mediterranean), The Left Bank, and Country Club of York. I have 15 years of experience in both banquet and à la carté service. Still, I felt called to something

I have used Carabella’s multiple times for different events. I have been extremely happy every time! Her food has always been amazing, communication is great, and pricing is very competitive. I would highly recommend booking Carabella’s for your next event!

I absolutely loved working with Tasha and her team! We had our wedding at a rustic barn venue that did not have a kitchen, but Tasha was able to put together the perfect buffet setup that worked for us. She was very mindful of our budget, and was very helpful throughout the entire process. She came up with a delicious menu that went with our bbq theme, and the signature cocktails at our bar were a huge hit. Our guests gave me so many compliments about everything, and I am grateful that we had Tasha and her team there to make our wedding as special as it was.
