Conroy Catering

I had heard really positive things about Conroy and how great they were with Laurita Winery weddings, so I was really excited! We had a very positive experience with our first consultant, who was prompt and friendly in responding to emails. Our first meeting with her was a really positive, comforting experience as well. When we met our day-of coordinator, we both felt AWESOME about choosing Conroy.

The day of the wedding is when things got a little wacky. My husband only told me afterwards that when he and his mother came in and saw the number of chairs, Conroy had placed ten less chairs than we told them for the number of guests. When he and his mother told them this, they actually argued about how many guests we had said we had. Guests ended up needing to stand. Not the end of the world, but definitely not ideal.

On my end, for much of the before-wedding craziness, our day-of consultant was nowhere to be found. It led to me and my bridesmaids very nervous and confused about where we were supposed to be, and when, and what time things were going to start. No one was there to answer questions, or guide us to where we were supposed to be, or move guests away during pictures. My mother asked where our coordinator was, and was told she was in a staff meeting. It was very confusing as to why our coordinator was in a staff meeting five minutes before the wedding was scheduled to start, and a little frustrating considering Conroy is NOT cheap. It made me feel like we were the "throwaway" wedding of the weekend, in terms of importance to Conroy.

The food was decent, but not as good as we had remembered or as it tasted at a tasting my mother-in-law had attended.

After all this negative stuff, I will say that Conroy (for most weddings) does seem to know what they're doing and are very responsive. When alerted to problems, they fixed them (for the most part). The bartenders and wait staff were fantastic, and ultimately, our wedding was still an...

We worked with Conroy for the duration of our yearlong engagement, most of our correspondence with Maria. She was responsive, professional, and helpful throughout. I never had a moment where I doubted my decision to get married at Glen Foerd. As for the actual wedding day, it was fabulous!! I am still in amazement by how flawless and beautiful the day was. The food exceeded our expectations!! Everything was ready to go and my bridal attendant, Anna, always kept a drink and food in our hands. My foodie cousin said the appetizers were the best he ever had at a wedding. Although I didn't taste many of them, my dinner was so tasty, even cold! (Which was my fault) The only drawback was our event manager for the day. She was a bit abrasive not only with me, but with our pastor and bridal party. :( I believe that a manager should be able to run an event smoothly without being a drill sergeant. But in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter. I would highly recommend Conroy and although I'm biased, Glen Foerd!

Our wedding was held at Glen Foerd Mansion and Conroy Catering managed the site and our catering. The usually stressful process was made easy and pleasurable by our contact, Maria Sampera, and our guests were in awe of the venue. It did rain on our day, but the mansion provided more than enough room for guests to wander and explore during cocktail hour, and relax on the big porch during dessert. The food was outstanding, service was impeccable...we wish we could do it again!

Glen Foerd was a beautiful site for our wedding. Our guests were able to explore the grounds and the museum. The conservatory is an unique reception area. The Conroy staff was very responsive and help throughout the process. We had worked with Lori. On the day of, the staff was very professional and they really helped to suit our very need. They helped to make the day very special!

We had our reception at the Glen Foerd Mansion. The setting is absolutely beautiful. All the guests were blown away by the location on the river, the historical grounds, and the art gallery. We consistently still get compliments about Glen Foerd. We worked with Lori at Conroy Catering, who was very responsive and immediately addressed our questions within hours, if not minutes.

A few things I would point out: 1. Since this is a historical place, there are only four total bathrooms. I was very concerned about this since our reception was slightly over 100 people. However, it turned out to be a non-issue for all guests! There was hardly a wait throughout the night. 2. Burning candles are not allowed in the actual house, but they are allowed in the reception tent. (just an FYI) 3. We were told that certain items such as flame less candles, real candles, and table numbers would not be provided. So we specifically bought those items, but when we arrived for set up we were told they were already included in the package. Great they are provided in the price, but not so great we were originally told we had to buy them ourselves. 4. The flexibility in dropping off decor or having vendors come in early is not ideal.

Our day of coordinator Chris, was fabulous. She helped with set up and kept things moving seamlessly. The alcohol was easily accessible and service was prompt. Our first course was supposed to be a salad, but we were served soup. Other than that the food was delicious (not your normal bland wedding food). The cake was also very beautiful and yummy. Overall, Glen Foerd is a spectacular setting for a reception and I would definitely recommend checking it out for your wedding...

We worked with Lori and she was extremely helpful, responsive and had wonderful recommendations (she recommended the boutique I bought my dress from)! Conroy was willing to negotiate and able to accommodate all of our requests. They do have to follow some restrictions set in place by the actual facility but they make every attempt to accommodate you. The food was really great and the service was fast. You will not meet the day of coordinator until the day of...which seems to be the way most caterers/venues operate. That was the only aspect I was disappointed in, since you have a rapport with the sales rep and then meet the coordinator the day of the rehearsal.
Overall, we were very happy with the entire day and everything was perfect. If something didn't go as planned, we didn't notice - which to us, means they did a great job.

Amazing food! Wonderful service! We loved everything about our reception at Laurita Winery and that was made possible by Conroy Catering.

We had our wedding reception at Glen Foerd and were extremely satisfied with the level of service from Conroy Catering. We initially decided to go with them after a visit with Maria Sampera. She was so professional and easily assuaged any concerns we had and really just made us feel very comfortable with Conroy's ability to execute our reception. We continued working with her throughout the entire planning process and she was very responsive and detail oriented. As a bride who was DIYing a lot and without a wedding planner, Maria was such a huge help - I honestly do not think things would have gone nearly as well as they did without all of her help! Even when things were handed over to the event manager, all directions were followed to a "T." I relied on them to set up the majority of my reception decorations and everything looked flawless when we arrived from the church. I knew the second I walked in the door that we picked the right venue and caterer for our winter wedding.

Alice, the Bridal Attendant was also great on the day of the wedding. She kept us with a full drink and food the entire night and also came to the rescue when we couldn't get my gown bustled.

All of our guests were extremely complimentary of the food - especially the hors d'oeuvres - the little spinach phyllo dough bites are AMAZINGLY addictive!

The food was delicious! Everyone loved it!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Conroy Catering at Glen Foerd. We had attended a wedding at Glen Foerd in 2009 and instantly knew we wanted to get married here... its unlike no other venue in the area... beautiful grounds along the river, historic mansion, wine cellar, art gallery with Tiffany glass ceiling and famous artwork, outdoor glass conservatory, wonderful food and ambiance, and more. We worked with Lori through the entire planning process and she was phenomenal, incredibly sweet and so knowledgeable about everything related to the caterer and the site. Towards the end she was wonderful at coordinating appointments to allow us to prepare for the day. She was the liaison between the banquet manager, baker, and all necessary staff at Glen Foerd, and she always responded to my emails promptly and answered my questions with ease. Our wedding was the weekend after Hurricane Sandy and she was so reassuring through that last stressful week, and the mansion did not even lose power. The price is pretty much all inclusive (with the exception of the tax) and it is quite reasonable for the venue. Chris was our banquet manager and was exceptional during our meeting the day prior, very organized and very specific with instructions. Dee was our bridal attendant and she was so doting to us, made sure we always had an appetizer during cocktail hour or drink during the entire night, and ensured we sat down to eat our meal. Every detail of the entire day was perfect. Thank you!!

Conroy Catering was amazing! They were extremely helpful and their team was really nice. I especially enjoyed working with Lori, Maria and Christina. Alice was a great bridal attendant as well. Our day feels like a blur of course, but all of our guests have done nothing but rave about the service, dinner and dessert as well as how classy and flawless everything was.

Conroy was fantastic for my wedding! The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was extremely helpful throughout the planning process. They even were able to have gluten free meals for my family members with dietary restrictions. Everyone had a blast. Thanks!

Overall we had a really great experience. The food was excellent. The day of coordinator and staff were amazing.

I was lucky enough to work with Dan, who I just LOVED! He was so flexible and aimed to please and relieve any stress I had as a bride. When it came to my questions, Dan was very patient and always responded in a timely manner. He and his team helped to set up the venue just as I had hoped and pictured it-just beautiful! Dan helped me with all my menu selections and we were not disappointed. Wedding food is not usually so great, but guests came up to tell me how great the food was!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Conroy Catering for our Labor Day weekend wedding at Laurita Winery in New Egypt, NJ. After two years of planning, everything went off perfectly – despite the iffy weather, which luckily held out for our outdoor ceremony – and it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of the outstanding Conroy staff and the stunning, rustic backdrop of Laurita.
We were lucky to work with Lori Frankel as our sales consultant and Dan Dutch as our banquet manager. Lori was extremely responsive and very helpful in the several months leading up to the wedding (we had a lot of questions!). After our in-person details meeting with Lori we knew she was the perfect person to help make our vision come true. She truly cared about the various details we incorporated into the wedding and found ways to complement them – for example suggesting a special pre-ceremony beverage that fit our theme perfectly, and making it happen! Dan and the staff were a great help the day of. It meant so much to me that he even took some awesome pictures during the event and uploaded them to our iPhone photo app!
The best part about Conroy, hands down, is the food! The menu is extensive and unique, which makes choosing quite challenging. Our guests RAVED about the Cabernet Braised Short Rib and Chicken Francaise with Lump Crab – I’m happy to say that my husband and I split both entrees and made it a point to clear our plates!

This food was the best wedding food I have ever eaten, and all of my guests agreed. We had a buffet dinner with so many options that it was almost impossible to try everything. The appetizers and stations were also delicious! The staff was friendly and responsive, and took very good care of our guests. They even include the cake, and it was delectable!

We had our wedding at Glen Foerd. From the moment we visited Glen Foerd last year, we knew this was the location for us. It is a beautiful mansion right on the Delaware. We initially planned to have an outdoor wedding, but the weather did not cooperate. Although my in-laws were somewhat disappointed, the staff was incredibly professional and the drawing room was completely transformed by the staff. In fact, we appreciated the variety of rooms and having access to the river for photos. It ended up being a perfect day for us.
Furthermore, the staff and catering are experts and really know what they are doing. Maria was an incredible help in planning the event for us and helping us navigate our choices, and Jeannie was also a great help in managing the staff during our wedding. Glen Foerd is affordable and flexible. They offer great options and amazing service. we highly recommend them for any event.

We were married at Knowlton Mansion in July! Knowlton was the perfect site for us. Conroy Catering was wonderful to work with. They were able to help us perfect our menu and make sure that our needs were taken care of. All of our guest raved about the food from the appetizers through the cake and ice cream. The food was cooked to perfection! And the wine cellar was such a nice addition to our reception. I know I'm a little biased, but it was some of the best food at a wedding that I have ever had. They were very easy to work with for our guests with special dietary needs and allergies. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Lori Frankel is the bomb-diggity. We were so fortunate to have been paired with her as a sales consultant. She did everything we wanted and so much more. I was sad she wasn't my day of coordinator, but even still her hardwork previously made the night spectacular. Conroy really helped us figure out the financing - we could not afford a weekend wedding of the caliber we wanted so they helped us figure out the logistics of having a weekday wedding (monday) and the perfect custom tailored menu. It was so refreshing working with a company that understands a budget and is so aware of the expense of a wedding. They (especially Lori) worked with us diligently to get us everything we wanted without compromise.

The food is AMAZING!!!! Everyone told me it was so tasty and were surprised by how impressive the food tasted. The food was the most important thing to us, and when we ate our Short Rib dinner we were totally blown away. Also, the cake is phenomenal. Not your typical overly sweet and not enjoyable to eat wedding cake. It was SOOOOO good. Everyone loved it.

The venue (we got married at Glen Foerd) was absolutely stunning. Everyone was blown away and keeps telling us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We loved it - everything about it. There was no spacing issues at all, we had 105 guests and everyone was seated comfortably in the conservatory (which I totally recommend - it was a BEAUTIFUL sight to behold). The staff was awesome and they were so incredibly accomodating to us. They really made us feel special.

The only thing we wish is that it lasted it longer! The night went by way too quickly.

Thank you, Conroy!! You made our wedding day so special - no complaints here!

I used Conroy Catering for my wedding at Laurita Winery in New Eqypt, NJ. My wedding was this past Saturday and everything went as smoothly as I had hoped. The food was great and they made my vision come true. They worked with me doing our wedding menu and was able to take things out or substitute things in. I would definitely recommend them for other brides to be.

Conroy's food was absolutely delicious -- we did the bronze package and it was great. The alcohol is top shelf. The chicken skewers, quesadillas, dumplings, spring rolls were all big hits and the meals were hot and cooked very well. They also made our cake which guests raved about.

DELICIOUS FOOD! We kept hearing about Conroy Catering and how amazing their food is when we were looking at venues. We went to the tasting at Knowlton Mansion and were very impressed. The night of the wedding we got many, many compliments on the food. They have their own baker as well and the cake was delicious. They also made granted a few special requests for us which was nice. Highly recommend them - they cater for Knowlton Mansion, Glenn Foerd Mansion, and Laurita Winery.

My wedding was at the Glen Foerd Mansion, December 3rd, and it was amazing!! The venue was decorated for Christmas, and was beautiful! The grounds were amazing. The staff, and service were perfect! We've got nothing but rave reviews about the wedding and the venue, and many people have stated that it was the best wedding they have been too! The food was delicious, although I wish I would have been able to eat more of it. I cannot thank them enough for helping make my day the best day of my life!

All of our guests raved about the food at our wedding. We went with the most expensive and most inclusive package available and it was worth every penny. Compared to other caterers, we got more in our package for less cost and had excellent service on the day of our wedding, amazing food that our guests have talked about for weeks afterwards AND the wedding cake thrown in. The bar selection was extensive and generously poured. Everything was set up beautifully for our wedding. Our rep was always available via email or phone and very quick to respond in most instances.

Jeannie and Dee worked with me on my wedding day and they were FABULOUS!!! Dee was very attentive and all of me and my husband's needs were met the entire day. Glen Foerd Mansion is beautiful and having my wedding there was a dream come true. I can't say enough nice things about them!

Conroy Catering services Knowlton Mansion, Laurita Winery and Glenn Foerd Mansion in the Philadelphia area. Our wedding was at Knowlton Mansion. While a higher end venue, the best part about Conroy Catering is that their wedding packages are so inclusive - the venue, the food, cake, bar service, bridal attendant, and planner and coordinator. The service was outstanding, the food amazing - the portion sizes are huge. You really truely get the most bang for your buck and a wonderful venue/atmosphere included.

Our younger daughter is a chef at a fine restaurant. The executive chef there suggested we check out Conroy Catering for our older daughter's wedding so we did. My husband and I ,being the hosts, only managed to sample some of the foods that were served and eveything we tried was so wonderful!!!
More importantly, our guests are still raving about the meal. Lots of our friends are "foodies" and I know that they enjoyed a delicious meal at our affair!!! In the future I hope to attend a party catered by Conroy; I know the food will be wonderful!

My husband and I wanted a unique setting for our reception because we have been to so many ballroom weddings. We were happy to find what we wanted at Glen Foerd Mansion...it was beautiful and we had an amazing time!!!

I used Conroy Catering for my October 2011 wedding at Glen Foerd Mansion. I cannot say enough nice things about them. During the planning process I always received prompt replies to my many questions via email. The day of the wedding my husband and I were very well taken care of by the staff. Immediately following the ceremony (on site) we were offered glasses of champagne. During cocktail hour and dinner the staff was constantly checking up on us to make sure we had enough everything we wanted - hor d'oeuvres, drinks, etc. The food was delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests on the great food, the beautiful venue, and the amazing river view during the ceremony.

The day of the wedding we had a guest bring an unexpected (and uninvited) guest. Conroy handled the situation perfectly. What could have been a very awkward situation went completely unnoticed - I didn't even know about the incident until the next day. The icing on the cake was when we accidentally left the top tier of our wedding cake (meant to be enjoyed on our first anniversary) at the venue. Our coordinator from Conroy personally delivered it to our hotel. They went above and beyond. Our wedding was as beautiful as I had always imagined. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Conroy Catering was fantastic to work with. They were super nice and accommodating throughout the whole process. We went with a promotional package that gave us a reduced selection of meals & appetizers, but also saved us a lot of money. They still worked with us on the menu so we were able to get exactly what we wanted. On the wedding day, our bridal assistant was fantastic. she made sure we got what we wanted to eat and drink. the event coordinator/manager was also wonderful. We had an issue with our DJ and she helped us to work through it. I would definitely recommend Conroy. They have several beautiful and unique venues. We got married at Glen Foerd on the Delaware River and everone loved the venue as well as the food. I recieved several compliments that it was the nicest wedding that they had ever went to. Food was great too.

We used Conroy Catering for our wedding at Laurita Winery. The staff including Dan and Robin were highly attentive to our needs and very professional. They helped make our wedding truly unforgettable. We opted to do the buffet stations due to the relatively high cost per person for a sit down dinner. We were at first a bit apprehensive about having a buffet, but Conroy worked with us and everything not only looked flawless but it tasted great! We never felt rushed throughout the night. Everything was seamless and we felt at ease during the whole process. Dan went above and beyond to ensure our outdoor ceremony & reception were perfect. Laurita is such a beautiful venue - thank you, Conroy, for adding to its charm!

Delicious food. Many options. Courteous staff.

Conroy was the exclusive caterer for my venue, Laurita Winery. If I could have chosen my own caterer, I would have chosen another. To say there were a few hiccups in the planning is an understatement. They work as a team rather than having one person assigned to you. I worked with one girl for most of the planning only to find out that she wasn't going to be there the day of the wedding. If I didn't have a wedding planner, I think this would have been very troublesome on the day of the wedding.

If you decide to book with Conroy, I HIGHLY suggest having a planner.

Additionally, be aware that the tasting you go to will probably not be the food you have at your wedding. If you are having a spring/summer wedding, wait to do your tasting until it is spring. They scheduled us for a December tasting only to find out the seasonal offerings weren't options for our summer wedding. We would have never scheduled our tasting for December if we had been informed. When we expressed our displeasure they offered to have a private tasting for $400. Obviously, that is outrageous and we fought to have another complimentary tasting in the spring.

They quality of the food is OK. I would give it a 3/5. It just seems terribly overpriced.

All in all, Laurita Winery was the perfect venue for my wedding; however, the caterer was the weakest link in my wedding planning.

Conroy Catering was great, especially for the price. Almost every guest commented on how good the food was. I know from experience that wedding food can sometimes be sub par. Not with this company...we only wish we could have taken more time to enjoy it. At least we still have our cake...anyway, I totally recommend Conroy. Thumbs up!!

We had our wedding at the Glen Foerd Mansion and it was absolutley amazing. The service and food was fantastic and every guests has been telling us this since the wedding. Bridget was fantastic to work with before the wedding and Jeannie was amazing the day of the wedding. They even worked very hard to accomadate to make up for the bus company (J&J luxury transportation) being 40 mins late to the ceremony and tried to shift things around the best they could to try and hide the lateness. The wedding was beautiful and I would reccomend ANYONE to have their wedding at the Glen Foerd!!! Thank You for being so great!

Conroy Catering did an INCREDIBLE job with our wedding cake! I found the perfect wedding cake in a bridal magazine and I was able to send a pitcure and the amazing bakers at Conroy took care of the rest! The cake was stunning! It was everything that I had dreamed of down to the last detail. I had also sent a swatch of the color from the bridesmaids dresses and everyting matched exactly! I also wanted to do a 'Philadelphia Sports' themed Groom's Cake and send them several ideas for inspiration. They really blew us away! My husband was soo surprised. AND the best part... everything was delicious!! :)

Conroy Catering did a fantastic job with the catering for our wedding at the Laurita Winery in New Egypt, New Jersey! They were extremely friendly and responsive in helping plan the day. We loved creating the menu and the food was excellent!

We had our wedding at Laurita Winery, the newest addition to Conroy's line up. Overall, the food, staff and quality were really great. My only issue with them was their lack of flexibility. They have set menus that they have used over and over at their mansion locations which I didn't think were a great fit for a winery wedding. We tried several times to come up with a more vineyard-inspired menu but they were not receptive to any changes beyond the norm without an unreasonable increase in cost. Bridget, our point person, was amazing. She was responsive and helpful and was the bright point in our interactions with Conroy.
Pros: decent quality (but still wedding food), great staff
Cons: lack of flexiibility

Everyone at Conroy Catering is alsolutely wonderful.
The ladies at the office helped me with all details including the selection our menu which was altered seemingly dozens of times. Also, when I had a hair salon crisis just 4 days before the wedding, they helped me to find a new location which was nearby and fantastic for my 9 girls. I very much appreciated how much they accomodated me, especially since I was planning my entire wedding from Germany.
Our wedding coordinator reassured me of everything every step of the way. She was ultra-organized and even had a better memory and better eye than me for details. She managed to keep everything running smoothly even when I had surprise guests show up for the wedding and she accomodated our tri-lingual wedding situation seamlessly.
Our bridal attendant on the wedding day was an angel. She made sure that my husband and I got to eat our delicious food and managed surprise changes in our schedule, reassured me, and stayed by my side to make sure that everything was ok. In the hectic nature of the day, she was the calm face that kept stress at bay.
As for the food, many of my guests called it, "the best wedding food they've ever had". I need not say more.

The Knowlton Mansion was the first place that I looked at for my Halloween wedding reception and as soon as I saw it I knew that was it. Every other place I saw after that just couldnt compare. The catering consultant that showed me and my husband the mansion when we first visited was the same person I worked with for the next year with my planning. She was great and always available through email to help me out with whatever I needed. When she wasnt there, someone else from the catering department would help and they were all great too. Everyone I dealt with at Conroy was always very nice and very helpful. Any little requests that I had, they made them happen.
The day of my wedding was like a dream come true. I get teary eyed just thinking about how perfect it all was, because I wish I could relive it all over again, it goes by so fast. The mansion is beautiful. The staff set all of my decor up exactly as I requested, it looked just like I had imagined it would. The food was excellent. The drinks were fabulous. We had a specialty drink, a pumpkin martini, and it was great. I had multiple people come up to me and tell me how great everything was and that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. My father also had people coming up to him telling him the same thing.
My cake was awesome. It was beautiful, just the way I had asked them to design it, and it tasted great. I got many compliments on the cake. The wine cellar was great too, if you have your wedding there, you MUST use the wine cellar!!
There were a couple things that didnt go right, but nothing too bad, and both things I didnt realize until after the wedding was over. For some reason one of the staff refused to give my mother-in-law a piece of wedding cake for my grandmother-in-law to eat (she was leaving early and wanted to eat a piece of the cake before she left, it was already cut but had not been served yet). My husband had to intervene and get it for his grandmother. That was kind of silly. And I didnt get a taste of my $8 per head dessert buffet...cheesecake, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake, apple cobbler....there was supposed to be a bridal attendant assigned to make sure my husband and I got some of it, but we didnt get any of it. That was a little bit dissapointing. The bridal attendant kind of dissapeared after dinner, but I think maybe she just didn't want to interupt me and my husband dancing. The buffet went very fast, I know some of my family members said they didnt get any of it either. I feel as though they didnt provide enough considering that the buffet cost roughly $1400. But oh well. At least everyone loved the cake. The dessert buffet was probably the only thing that I was a tad bit dissapointed in...simply because I did not get any of it and because important family members also didnt get any. Im sure it was good, maybe that is why it went so fast. All of the other food was very good and there was plenty of it.
One more thing, the valet lost the car keys of one of my bridesmaids. So my bridesmaid and her boyfriend were standing around for like almost an hour while the valets ran around trying to find the keys. I was upset about this and my husband and I stuck around until it was resolved. They did find the keys, which is the important thing.
Conroy is very expensive, but I did get married on a Saturday in October, which is one of the pricier times to have a wedding. Im sure getting married in the offseason, or on a Friday, would be a lot less expensive.
All that being said, I have no regrets at all having my wedding there. The Knowlton Mansion itself makes it all worth it, it is so amazing and beautiful. My wedding reception was wonderful and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Everything was fabulous about my wedding ceremony and reception at Glen Foerd Mansion, catering by Conroy. Despite the rain. Indoors was so beautiful we forgot about the outdoors!! And the food and service were top notch!

I had my reception at Knowlton Mansion and would highly recommend it to any bride. The staff there are so easy to work with and will go above and beyond to give you anything you need. The place looked amazing, the ground were groomed well, the staff were friendly and attentive. Everyone is still raving about the food and 2 months later I'm still getting emails that it was the best wedding and reception that they've ever been to.

I cannot say enough nice things about Conroy Catering at Glen Foerd Mansion. All my guests were raving about what a fantastic venue it was, and I heard so many people say "This is the best food I've ever had at a wedding". I was probably really annoying to my coordinator b/c I was emailing her nonstop for like, 6 months straight but she was always nice and catered every request. They are so awesome.

Conroy Catering did a fabulous job with our entire wedding; we had our ceremony and reception at Knowlton Mansion. It was simply gorgeous. The food selection was extensive and elegant. The guests loved the food! The salmon entree seemed to be the favorite. CC also provided my cake which was absolutely fantastic-looking and tasted great!

The staff was wonderful. My pre-wedding coordinator, Amy, worked with me long-distance over email; she always got back to me promptly and offered different suggestions. My wedding day attendent, Alice, was simply wonderful. She took care of my husband and I and our parents all day. I forgot my rosaries which were made for me by an aunt at the Mansion; Alice picked them up off my table and called my parents the next day to say she had them and could drop them off at my parent's house. She went above and beyond for me and family and made the day as simple as possible for me.

All in all, CC, its venues, and staff were truly wonderful and offered a perfect wedding experience.

Jack Conroy and his team provided an outstanding, high quality array of cullinary treats for our guests. But then again, we're not surprised. Every detail covered, everything expertly prepared. We had a guest come up to us at the end of the evening: "When I saw the gorgeous meals being served to the Bridal Party, I assumed the guests could not possibly be provided the same thing. WOW, was I surprised! My meal was the same, succulent, bountiful cuisine that I saw!"

Contracting with Conroy Catering was uneventful, and straight forward. Menus are top notch, and flexible. Prepartion was so good that we actually went into the kitchen to thank the Staff for doing such a fine job.

White Glove service, properly maintained throughout the cocktail hour started the event off with a flair. Proper serving of the main (serve from the left, remove from the right), maintained the air of tasteful elegance. The level of decorum and professionalism is second to none! And, equally important, EVERY guest was served a hot meal, quickly and without intrusion. If people were on the dance floor, meals were served but remained covered!

VALUE is extremely high for this level of catering! Having a dedicated event manager on the day of the affair kept things moving, well coordinated, and elliminated any stress from the parents, bride and groom!

Our wedding at Glen Foerd Mansion was absolutely fabulous! Storybook and princess all the way. This place is gorgeous and very unique. We are still getting compliments from guests 3 months later. The food was incredible - easily the best food I've had at a wedding (and according to everyone else). Even the cake was good. Definitely go for the stations, guests loved it. The set up was great. The staff was wonderful. No complaints on quality or ambiance whatsoever.

Couple of cons when dealing with Conroy & the Mansion....the cost is a bit high when compared with other venues. But EVERYTHING is negotiable! If you have the money, go for it.

Speaking of money - I found several errors on my invoices (about a $1,000 difference). They also threw in some extra "surprise" charges at the bitter end that I was not too thrilled with. Make sure you get it in writing and get it up front. Be very clear about your money because you might be shocked at what is NOT included and how they get around the explanation (like table linens that reach the floor, meals for your vendors, tip for the bartenders (even though it says tip included). But this is the sales staff and has nothing to do with how great your wedding will be.

Also, you may not meet your coordinator until the day of your wedding (another shock.) I'd assumed that the people we were working with all along were the ones who would actually supervise our wedding, but this is not the case. However, our day-of coordinator turned out to be incredibly fabulous so it was a lot of worry for nothing. My family LOVED her. But again...find out who it's gonna be and make sure you are comfortable ahead of time.

Good luck! If you're wedding is at Glen Foerd I know you won't be sorry! Poor, perhaps, but not sorry :-)

Conroy Catering was amazing to work with. They were super flexible, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. They also had great taste! During my planning a few events may have drastically changed the wedding plans, and they made it seem like a breeze. Everyone I came in contact with was helpful and friendly.

Everyon raved about the food, especially the display. It was everything we could have ever wanted. The cake was also beautiful, the baker was perfect. Service was outstanding, with every detail covered.

The assistants assigned to us were fantastic! The food was excellent! The cake was beautiful!

Conroy Catering does a fantastic job; we had our wedding at Glen Foerd mansion, a gorgeous mansion by the Delaware River. The venue is beautiful, they arrange almost everything for you, the food is delicious, and you can have a high-class wedding at a moderate cost (if you have a small wedding in the off-season, you'd be amazed how much money you can save!). There are so many aspects about the wedding they take care of for you, as you can choose your linens, cake, menu, ceremony setup, etc all through them, making the planning process incredibly flawless and easy. On the day of the wedding, there is an assistant who just caters to the bride, helping you with anything you may need. Conroy really takes the pressure off of planning a wedding, and they are excellent at what they do. My only complaint was about the wedding coordinators...they were a bit snobby, as if I wasn't "high class" enough for their venue. Otherwise, though, I HIGHLY recommend using Conroy Catering- your guests will be talking for ages about how wonderful your wedding was. You will not be disappointed!

Some of my favorite venues are those that are unique but still in the city - and Conroy Catering fits the bill. Glen Foerd is my absolute favorite and Knowlton and Laurita Winery are wonderful too. All are catered by Conroy and their food is amazing. They have custom designed menus for my clients and really listened to them to achieve their perfect wedding. The staff is professional and wonderful and the consultants are wonderful and easy to work with!

We have recorded meny memorable events at both Knowlton Mansion and Glen Foerd, and without exception, they have been flawless. The staff, the surroundings, the food, definitely 5 stars!

I played guitar at a wedding where they were the caterer. They were very easy to work with and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend them.

We love working at receptions with Conroy Catering. Adam, the event manager, is such a nice guy & is very helpful. He always makes sure the bride & groom are taken care of at every wedding & he is a pleasure to work with. We LOVE photographing weddings at both the Knowlton & Glen Foerd Mansions. These are such beautiful places & make a great background to any wedding portrait.

Great Place to have any event.
