Rania's Catering

Back in February, 2012 my daughter chose Rania as the caterer for her wedding at Soldiers and Sailors in Oakland on November 10, 2012. I immediately went on line and checked the reviews of her prior wedding engagements. I was pleased to see that Rania had excellent ratings and the biggest thing was that her food was outstanding. I would like to ask the one reviewer who said that her daughter's wedding was perfect and that she had no complaints - but gave Rania four (4) stars. The comments and the rating did not compute. Perhaps the reviewer was a college professor who doesn't believe in "A's". Now to the "Event". My daughter's wedding on Saturday, November 10, 2012 was perfect from start to finish. When you hire Rania as a caterer you get far more than just a caterer. She is more like a wedding planner. From suggesting florists and the DJ to her perfect time line, Rania did it all. Rania is always in contact and produces an event that is truly memorable. Comments included - the food is definitely not the usual "wedding food" to the event was very "guest" friendly. The marriage of your first born is always a highly charged emotional event. Rania helped make this day the perfect event that all involved had hoped for and wished for. Thank you Rania and all your staff for making our daughter's wedding so very memorable.

Overall, we'd recommend Rania's!

Planning: As a busy bride, responsiveness during the planning process was so important to me -- and Rania always wrote or called back almost immediately, even when she was on vacation. Rania has a great personality and is very hands-on. We appreciated her energy throughout the process. We weren't pleased with our first tasting, but we eventually got the menu just right. During our initial (and really, only) planning session, we felt a bit rushed, but overall Rania made it as easy as possible. In many ways, she acted as a wedding planner - she connected us with several vendors and played an integral role with night-of logistics. In fact, she personally attended our reception to ensure that everything was perfect.

Night-Of: We received lots of compliments about our food, which I think is rare at weddings. I have a friend that still brings up how good our appetizers were every time I see her. Her staff were professional, attentive, and everything went off without a hitch.

Thanks, Rania!

Rania Harris is a complete professional and inspires confidence from her initial contact. The food was excellent and her staff was very efficient, responsive, and personable. It was convenient to have Rania provide event planning services and reassuring to know that all the details were being coordinated by her. Our guests were effusive in their praise of all aspects of our daughter's wedding. Rania's Catering and The Children's Museum of Pittsburgh are a winning combo for catering and venue!

The staff was simply amazing. Cindy Bruce made sure that there was zero stress to our night and that everything flowed smoothly. I cannot thank you and her enough!

And, of course, the food was amazing and our guests were impressed and happy.

Working with Rania was an absolute delight! Rania worked as both our caterer and day-of planner and I would highly recommend her.

She offered a more comprehensive catering package than any other caterer we talked to and we are so glad we had the opportunity to work with Rania.

The planning process was a breeze. Rania guided us through the menu selection and coordinated with two rental vendors. It was really nice to only have 1 contract to worry about as opposed to 3. Rania gave us a long list of her recommended vendors. She then worked with our vendors to finalize the day-of schedule.

About 4 months out, Rania scheduled a menu tasting and coordinated a tablescape with the rental vendors and our florist so we could see what a reception table would look like. We were thrilled with our menu tasting and tablescape.

Rania’s team handled the set-up of our personalized decorations and details we had given them the day before.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. We opted for a cocktail hour followed by a seated dinner reception for 150 with dinner options of steak au poivre, salmon, and an onion tart with orzo Greek salad. Our friends and family continue to rave about the food they were served at our wedding. We do too. The steak and salmon were grilled just perfectly as if the chef were cooking for 5 people. Rania’s bakers made our wedding cake and they did a wonderful job of seeing our cake vision through to execution. Again, it was very fresh and moist and we continue to rave about it.

Throughout the evening, the servers were attentive and quick to replace a fallen fork or knife. Most of all, it was really nice to see Rania at the reception, checking in to make sure everything was going well.

Bottom line: we had a wonderful experience with Rania and her team. Call her!

The food was wonderful and the service was professional and flawless. Many, many of our guests raved about the quality and presentation of the food. Rania also took the lead in coordinating with other vendors including the venue staff, photographer, florist, and DJ to assure that everything progressed seamlessly and everyone had the same timeline.

For my husband and I, the food and service was our top priority at our wedding, and Rania and her staff delivered everything we could have asked for (and more that we didn't). From the very first meeting, I felt extremely comfortable knowing they would take care of the details from organization, contacting other vendors, giving us advice and helping us with rentals, and so much more. After our first tasting, I had a lot of different ideas for things I would like to change, and she immediately responded, called me while she was on our vacation to ease my worries, and provided us with a second tasting to make sure we were thrilled - we definitely were.

The timing of our reception was perfect. We had enough time as a couple to eat and visit with all of our guests- this was Rania's suggestion and her experience showed. Everyone raved about the food, and pastries (we had a pie buffet). As a baker I was thrilled with the pastry chef's work.

The service was impeccable, everyone was extremely supportive, courteous, and helpful. I didn't have to worry about a single thing leading up to the wedding or on the wedding day!

Great food! Easy to work with.

It was a beautiful event. The staff and food were wonderful!

Service was very good. The staff was extremely nice and professional. The food was delicious and presented very nicely. Prices are high but definitely worth it.
The only complaints I have is in my initial interview I was told we were going to have a taste testing and have a bridal table set up exactly how I wanted it for the wedding and they did not follow through with that.
Also, my cake was very good but it looked unfinished. I wanted a white cake with three tiers and fresh flowers cascaded down the cake. I provided them with flowers in a vase labeled "cake flowers" which we had discussed with them several times and they left the cake plain with no flowers on it. I was very disappointed!
Other than that, Rania was a pleasure to work with. Very organized and efficient. I would definitely recommend Rania's Catering.

Rania's Catering is simply the best in Pittsburgh. Everyone at our wedding could not stop talking about how delicious the food was! The staff was kind, professional, and very helpful! Our floor manager was AMAZING, she took care of every little detail. The whole event was flawless thanks to Rania and her team!

THe old saying,"You pay for what you get!" holds true in this situation. Rania is worth every penny you pay for and then some. The best investment of the whole wedding. Her staff is curtious,professional and quality. Rania herself, is a true "gem". No need to worry about anything during the reception. Can't say enough about her! P.S. Food was exceptional!

Rania and her staff were AMAZING!! Susan was our floor manager and she made sure our reception went perfectly! The servers were very helpful and attentive. The food was DELICIOUS and we received many compliments on it!! We put complete trust in Rania's Catering and they did not let us down! We would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

Our daughter's wedding was catered by Rania and the food for the cocktail hour and reception was exceptional. The service fom the wait staff to the bartenders to the floor managers was so good that we were able to just enjoy the evening with absolute confidence that our guests were well taken care of. Special requests were honored and dealt with promptly and without question. Rania provided us also with recommendations for almost all the other vendors and worked seamlessly with them. Since this was our first experience hosting a wedding, we were naturally anxious going into this but Rania's experience and level of expertise made this event one that we were able to experience and enjoy since she and her staff did the work and we shared the night with our family.

The service was efficient, friendly and unobtrusive. Raina's people worked well in the limited space of the Mattress Factory. The food was all prepared very well on site. The grilled steak and asparagus was perfectly cooked,

Rania advised us to have two floor managers at our 6/16 wedding at The Pennsylvanian and she was absolutely right. Susan and Cindy, the two she sent us, were on top of everything, anticipating what needed to be done before it had even occurred to me. They did, indeed, operate like a precision machine. I have had MANY compliments on the food: everyone was impressed by the quality and the unique twist Rania put on the standard wedding reception fare. (The hint of ethnicity for my daughter's Persian wedding, without being "strange" to American palates.) My one gluten-free guest was so impressed that the staff sought her out even before dinner and made absolutely certain she was appropriately served that she told me about it no less than 3 times.

I was personally impressed to see Rania there (looking elegant I might add), jumping in and actually helping with serving. Certainly gives me some serious boasting rights: THE Pittsburgh celebrity chef/caterer did MY daughter's wedding!

All of us appreciate Rania's expertise in coordinating vendors and managing the day for us. I can't imagine who else would have been able to get us a microphone at the 11th hour, following the rehearsal and our last minute realization that we needed one. For that matter, how many other caterers would even be checking their messages on a Friday evening?

Rania is the consumate expert and professional when it comes to wedding receptions and she is worth every penny!

We were planning our daughters wedding from the other side of the state so the help and guidance provided by Rania and her staff was invaluable. Their time and talent helped to create an evening of celebration that ran seamlessly. Our family and friends are still talking about how delicious the food was along with how professional and efficient the staff was! Excellent catering choice for any size wedding!

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT !!!! WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED THAT RAINA STOPPED BY TO CHECK ON THINGS. CINDY IS A REAL PRO !!!!

Wonderful service and great to work with. Nothing but positive feed back from our guest, I would definitely recommend using them to cater a wedding or any event.

Rania's catering service provided us and our daughter's wedding with the best service that we could have hoped for. We especially liked the Manager of the wedding, Cyndi and her professionalism. The food was served hot, the taste of everything was exceptional, and I received so many wonderful comments about the overall food choices.

I would not hesitate to tell everyone about Rania's catering for any of their wedding or other needs. Rania's took all of the stress out of a very important day for my daughter and our family.

General Patton standards with the class of Audrey Hepburn. Listen up brides:
* quality of food excellent--My family from Greece said the food was wonderful and they are used to the best food in the world.
* consistent and thorough communication--Rania and her staff communicated with the florist, the DJ, the Reception hall, photographer and anyone else involved in the wedding process---she sent me excel spreadsheets of what to do and what to buy---I am a full time student, professor and mother (and wife :), so her take charge attitude was essential
*cost--not as steep as I had thought--reasonable in comparison to other caterers--except that Rania's food is GREAT-not good--- the costs are EXTREMELY clear--and there are no surprises---AND if you have to cut corners, don't cut them with your caterer--especially one who made everyone communicate with each other regarding timelines, locations, etcetera.
*Last word---there is no BS with Rania--she is organized, passionate and aware of things going on around her--she knows her craft, appreciates her staff, and will treat your wedding with a sense of urgency and respect that it deserves---

Rania's meal was fantastic, the service was excellent, the appetizers were delicious. Everyone remarked on the quality of food and great service they received. I never had to worry about anything dealing with the reception, Rania took care of everything that night. One word sums it up, AWESOME!!!

Rania's Catering is the BEST in Pittsburgh!!! I am so happy that we used Rania for our wedding.. The food was the topic of the night.. Rania made our wedding perfect. There is not one thing I would have changed about the night. I give Rania's Catering a perfect 10!!!!

If you are looking to hire a caterer that not only provides amazing food, but is helpful in all aspects of planning a wedding, please consider hiring Rania's catering. After one conversation you will be relieved and sure that you are in good hands. It was very pleasant meeting with Rania and I even found I love sour cherry pie when planning some of the details, as she offered me a slice. The reason why I would like to make this next part a little more heartfelt is because my little brother passed away a month before my wedding day and it was difficult timing. I was focused on consoling my family and uninterested in wedding details. Rania called and left a message, along with an email, with her deepest sympathies and assurance she would handle the wedding aspect. It was truly a touching gesture. I fell behind in everything and she was right there to walk me through it and practiced patience as the to do list piled up. The day of, everything was perfect. I had so many guests rave about the food and not only how delicious it was but how shocked they were that two hundred and thirty people could be fed at the same time. The floor managers took care of every detail and the staff was efficient, kind and looked as if they were having a nice time. As you can read by all the other reviews, you won't come close to being disappointed...more so, blown away!

Thank you to Rania, Susan and everyone else involved in the process of throwing a spectacular wedding, you are a gem in your industry. Thank you for creating a wonderful memory for me and
I can't wait to stop by when I am in town for a piece of the best pie in the world, your sweet potato pecan pie!!

If you want the best food you will ever eat at a wedding, I would strongly recommend that you hire Rania. Her food is absolutely amazing!! Plus, the service is out of this world. I was so impressed with Rania and her entire staff that day, and so was everyone else who attended my wedding. I have received countless compliments about the food and its service. Rania made my wedding reception a dream come true!

I cannot say enough positive things about Rania's Catering. From the first moment we met Rania and her staff, we could tell that they really cared about us and the outcome of the wedding. Rania's is almost a wedding planner, they coordinate rentals (linens, tables, etc) and speak with all of your vendors so they are on the same page. The food is absolutely amazing. We heard rave reviews from our guests, especially on the appetizers (we had 5 but there were pages to pick from!). We made a change to our chicken dish after the tasting and the end result couldn't have been better! All of the food is cooked fresh onsite. The cake was included and it was beautiful and delicious. The baker even called to confirm the details of the cake the week of to make sure everything was just right. The staff was friendly and professional. They even went out of their way to help us take off the chair covers at the end of the night even though it wasn't their job. Rania's Catering is worth every penny and I would highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding or other catered event.

Rania and her wonderful staff were truly amazing in the entire process of planning our wedding. The day in its entirety, the food, the service, the professionalism were all above and beyond our already very high expectations because we had been so pleased with them along the way. They have such incredible attention to detail, our guests continue to RAVE about the menu for our wedding. From day one since I sent my inquiry to Rania's services, she stood out above any other caterer I had "shopped" through. She dedicates her time and attention to her bride the week of her wedding 110% percent, and mentioned this to me before the wedding one week where she was unable to meet because she was so dedicated to the bride of the wedding she was preparing for that week. Despite her number of events she caters every year, she is always very available, flexible, and finds the time to devote to all of her patrons. This is also thanks to her incredibly dedicated staff, who are all comparable in supreme work ethic that is admirable and recognized by all of their patrons. Myself, my husband, and my family cannot stop our praise for Rania and her staff. They truly made our wedding as special as it possibly could be, as I mentioned, far above my expectations. The day was stress-free and we were able to enjoy it in its entirety because Rania had catered to every last detail. They are truly amazing and I will always recommend them for the future. We have continued to use Rania and her services for other family gatherings since. Thank you again, Rania, and all of your staff :) You truly are wonderful, and made our day so very special and memorable.

Seriously, if you want the PERFECT wedding you have only one choice...Rania! She was soooooo much more than a caterer, she gave us wonderful contacts for everything else we needed. She is the complete wedding planner! I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding for my daughter and Rania was a HUGE part. Her attention to detail is beyond compare! Read and look no further...call her today!

Rania's Catering did our wedding on October 8th at Phipps Conservatory and I cannot say enough fabulous things about the job they did. Everything from food to service was fantastic. Rania worked with us to make every detail of our reception perfect. We received tons of compliments on how good the food was and how friendly the staff was. My friend even ripped her dress and a Rania's staff member helped her sew it together!! In addition, my mother and I made our own centerpieces for the guest tables and cocktail tables; Rania went above and beyond by setting up all the centerpieces since we did not have a florist. I would not pass up the opportunity to have Rania cater an event!

Rania and her staff were true professionals. She took care of every detail, and as the mother of the bride that was priceless. She was quick to ease all of my apprehensions as we went through the planning process and was quick to respond to my many questions. We had an overwhelming positive response from the guests about the food. I would highly recommend her for any affair...and her floor manager Cyndi was excellent!

My daughter and I both live out of town and we were planning a wedding in Pittsburgh. Rania personally called me and from the first moment we spoke, I knew she would be our caterer. I needed someone to "hold my hand" through this process and not only did I trust her to have the best menu but also to help us in whatever area of the wedding process we needed. I was not disappointed. I would say that you get what you pay for and you may find other caterers with less expensive prices but Rania's quality is unsurpassed and the presentation of the food was amazing.

Rania is so organized and on top of every detail. She held all the vendors together and helped us through last minute details. She used great judgment when the weather turned on us by moving the cocktail hour inside. the set-up was wonderful. The food was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Have no fear if you decide to use RAnia's catering.

Everything was fantastic, from the food to the service. I would absolutely recommend Rania's to anyone looking for a caterer. We received numerous complements on how fantastic everything was. Thank you Rania for making our evening that much more memorable!

Quality of Service......The Best Pittsburgh has to offer
Responsiveness..........Done before you even asked the question
Professionalism.........With grace and dignity for the customer
Value...................Priceless
Flexibility.............Without a doubt, always ready to accommated

Thank you for making our daughters wedding an event that our friends and family will cherish for along time to come. You gave the mother of the bride peace of mind to enjoy the most precious day in her life. The food was awesome but only trumped by the service of your staff. Rania was a caterer for a day but a friend for a lifetime. With love and endless thanks, The Desko/McManamy family

Rania's food is absolutely fantastic!! Many people at our wedding commented on how delicious the food was and how it was the best wedding food they had ever had! She is extremely organized and professional. You will not be dissappointed with the quality of the food or the experience. In addition the wait staff were great! Very attentive, especially to the bride and groom!

Rania's Catering did a fantastic job on helping us through the planning of the event, coordinating the rentals of the linens, tables, chairs, etc. and providing the food for my daughter's wedding. Everyone who attended the reception had nothing but great things to say about all of the food that was served from the appetizers during the cocktail hour to the sit down meal to the wedding cake. Some said it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. The staff that serves the event is very professional and helpful. During the reception, we were low on certain mixers at the bar. The onsite manager offered to get the extra mixers needed so no one in the family had to leave the party to take care of this problem. She was great to work with throughout the evening and always kept me aware of what needed to be taken care of before I had asked.

If 5 stars connotes excellence, Rania's Catering rates 1,005 stars. From her planning and invaluable guidance through the myriad details of wedding and reception to the preparation and service of wonderful food, Rania and her staff are incomparable. Their courtesy and consideration were exceeded only by their professionalism and responsiveness - and the best food ever served at a wedding reception. There simply is none better than Rania's Catering.

If you are having a wedding at the Pennsylvanian you will never go wrong with Rania's catering. Everything was delicious, service was superb, and the professionalism was the best. I had many tell me it was truly "a class act". She is the BEST!

More than a caterer definitely a Wedding coordinator. Rania created time lines, spoke with the venue, florist along with providing outstanding appetizers (not the usual fair - lamb chops superior) and entree that were delicious beyond the norm. Rania's staff was attentive and anticipated our needs. Bride & Groom live in Phoenix AZ but Rania was easily contacted and responded immediately to any email or phone call. Without hesitation please use Rania - you will not be disappointed. Raniatogo made our day perfect.

Rania and her staff were a wonderful part of our beautiful wedding reception! Our gathering was a small, elegant cocktail party with the most spectacular food! The presentation was exquisite and the taste delicious! The staff was extremely friendly to all of the guests. We will definitely call upon her services again. Thank you, Rania!

Rania does an excellent job. She is well worth the money! Rania will create a top notch event and her staff is extremely professional. Food is EXCELENT!

I had the distinct pleasure of dealing with Rania when we chose her as the caterer for our daughter's recent wedding reception. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Rania's Catering is more than a business. It is owned and operated by Rania Harris who truly is a unique and amazing person. She is gracious, warm, extremely competent, and perhaps one of the most efficient people I have ever encountered. On top of that, she is an excellent cook. The quality of the food that is prepared by Rania's Catering is top rate. At our daughter's recent wedding reception, we heard comments that the appetizers, the meals, and the cake were the best that people ever had eaten! Rania's Catering is also unique because Rania surrounds herself with staff members who share her work ethic and who are as gracious and warm as she. The burden of planning an event is undertaken by Rania. She listened to what we wanted, and she provided us with an abundance of suggestions. She works very closely with all of the other vendors who might be working at the event, and she makes certain that everything comes together flawlessly. The week before our daughter's wedding, she patiently incorporated our last minute changes to our plans. She also created an atmosphere where I knew that I could absolutely rely on her. I am a bit of a perfectionist, and for me to say that I am able to absolutely rely on somebody is a significant statement. Our daughter's wedding reception was everything that she had hoped and dreamed for, and I give the credit for that to Rania and her company. There was a minimum of stress in the planning process, and none of it is attributable to Rania or the people with whom she collaborates. As you may notice, I am a huge fan. I am the mother of one daughter, but if I had any other daughters for whom I wished to host a wedding reception I would turn to Rania's Catering immediately!

Food was AMAZING! Not your typical wedding reception food, but much higher quality. They cooked all of the meats on site, instead of bringing them in hot boxes. Rania was tough to get ahold of a lot of the time and would take a little while to respond to emails. She's expensive but I think its totally worth it!!

Rania and her team were great to work with. The quality of the food is outstanding and the staff was amazing. Great Job!

Rania and staff were wonderful. She was able to work with my budget and always made herself available. She is a true wedding planner and spares no detail, one example would be contacting each of my vendors (photographer, videographer, florist etc) and scheduling a timeline of events. Lastly, I received numerous compliments on the food, coffee bar, and cake and my guests- everyone loved it!

From start to finish we had an awesome experience with Rania for our daughter's wedding! Right from our first meeting with her we were confident that she was the one to help make our daughter's dream wedding come true. She was easy to get in touch with via phone or email and if not available she would get back to us promptly in a friendly, upbeat manner. She really tried to understand our vision which ultimately helped guide our meal selection. We had our wedding at the Pennsylvania with required many outside vendors. Rania coordinated all this for us. That combined with the repour that she had with all of our vendors made the process rather simple and enjoyable too. Her staff was amazing as well. We had many special details planned for the reception which included special escort cards that had to be hung on a door, numerous family wedding pictures, menu cards,flip flops,candy/necessity baskets. They were all placed to perfection and exactly as we invisioned it. Something special that Rania did was to personally escort my husband and I into the Venue completely decorated before all the guests came it. Without that special viewing we would have missed all the beautiful details! Great food was one of our top priorities. We choose Filet Mignon topped with Crab. All of our Guests raved about the food saying it was the best meal they ever had at a wedding! They were all served to Hot with beautiful presentation which is quite impressive for 220 guests.The taste and quality was better than most 5 star restaurants of have been too! All of the staff was attentive and extremely friendly which was also appreciated by our guests. It was obvious that there goal was that everyone be happy. Rania also supplied the Wedding Cake. It was wonderful working with Stewart on the flavor and design of our Daughter's Wedding cake and Grooms cake. He really took special interest in what she was invisioning. Stewart even made a follow up call just before the wedding to make sure he was including everything she was thinking.The guests also stated it was the best wedding cake they ever tasted! With 100% confidence I can say that because of Rania's expertise, guidance and patience combined with her amazing staff, our daughter had the wedding she had always dreamed of. The end result greatly exceeded our expections. We felt Rania took a personal interest in our happiness and for that we will be forever grateful!!!

We found that Rania had anticipated problems before we even had them, and had already figured out a resolution. She has the whole system down to a science and is pleasant, competent and professional in executing the plan. If you are comparing Rania to any other caterer, don't even think twice. Rania is by a long margin the best caterer we've ever worked with (and we do lots of entertaining for business.) She is easy to work with, flexible, and her food is incredible. She and her staff go far out of their way to make sure that every single guest feels like the guest of honor. But if budget is a concern and you are comparing a catered event to one where all the items necessary for the meal are included, do a careful cost comparison so you are certain what your total costs will be. (Those rentals really add up!) If the comparison shows your costs to be similar, go with Rania. She will take good care of you.

I just got home in Michigan, and I thought I would give you some feedback on the wedding at Kentuck Knob. First of all, I think you and your staff did an excellent job from set up to finish, even though their jobs were complicated by a downpour just prior to the wedding. The meals were top-notch, and served in just the right quantity. The salad was great, the tenderloin was fresh grilled and delicious, and the eggplant dish was one of the best I have ever had. I didn't try the chicken, but I think it went over well. The cake (especially the red velvet part) was perfect. The wait staff was prompt and attentive, bartenders friendly, and chefs were first class. So overall (even if writing the checks was painful), I have no complaints whatsoever about your food and service. Fantastic job! A+

We are still getting compliments about our wedding. And one of the most repeated is how great the food was. Several people said it was the best food they ever had.

We sampled several caterers before deciding on Rania. For us, there were three things we needed from our caterer - food, value and service. The others had decent food and talked a good game about their service. Each had prices lower than Rania's. But my wife and I were never really impressed with the entire package from any. As soon as we met with Rania, we were hooked. She knows her stuff and gave us the confidence that our wedding day would be perfect. And then after we tried the food, there was no turning back.

Rania exceeded our expectations in every regard. Our wedding went perfectly. There wasn't one problem. The food was incredible and the cake was one of the best I have ever eaten. But what really made the day perfect was Rania and her staff. They were friendly, hardworking and professional. Once we saw how it all came together on our wedding day, we knew we made the right choice. Rania is more than a caterer, she is a partner in your wedding who really cares and she is worth every penny.

What a pleasure to work with the whole crew at Rania's! They ROCK! From the chefs to the waitstaff, our guests were so impressed! We had relatives from all over the United States, and they all remarked that they had never had service like this. As I started eating, I looked around the crowded room and was stunned to see basically everyone eating at the same time! And her food is MADE on site, not brought in hot boxes. Trust me, if you want to NOT have to worry about details, this lady will do it ALL for you.
Thanks so much for a remarkable event!

Rania and her staff was amazing, and made our wedding day perfect! The food & the service was wonderful. It was a pleasure working with them!

Rania is the best at what she does. The food was delicious at my daughter's wedding and her staff trully professional and attentive. Guest commented that this was the best food they ever had at a wedding! The bridal party was extremely impressed by the attentiveness of the staff, the quality of the food and the attention to detail from appetizers to wedding cake. Highly reccomend. You won't be dissapointed.

Rania and her staff catered our wedding at the Children's Mues. of Pittsburgh on 5/28/11 - and we could not have been more pleased. I had had her catering year's ago at a work function at Phipps Conversatory and it stuck with me how good the food was then and it didn't disappoint at the wedding!

The food was unbelieveable, her staff's service was professional and When we initially met with her - she provided us with a list of things to think about, we loosely discussed menu items - but most importantly, she gave us some guidance and things to think about. The second time we sat down, we walked through menu choice - with some discussion about what we wanted - chose our flatware/glasses/china, along with chairs and linens. The third time we held our tasting and even had a few changes that we needed to make - and it was no problem. The day of our wedding, Rania was on site - along with a floor manager - to make sure every detail was handled. We did a cheese/veggie/meat area that was amazing along with hand passed apps. Our meal was a filet with a crab cake, along with risotto. They also did our cake - which created alot of ease that we didn't have to look to another vendor - and it was the most delicious conocnut cake we'd ever eaten.

Top to bottom - working with Rania was the best decision we made. We hope to work with her again at future family functions and many happy anniversaries to come.

Rania, Susan and their staff made it so easy for me! From the beginning stages of planning our event to the day of, it was a pleasure working w/ Rania & Susan, too!
I would highly recommend Rania's Catering to anyone planning any kind of event!

Rania and her staff were AMAZING for our wedding! The food and service were above our expectations every step of the way. My husband, Jesse, and I got married at the Frick Art & Historical Center in Pittsburgh and Rania helped us coordinate the event details in accordance with the Frick's requirements (of which there were many!). Rania even helped us find a new DJ the day before our wedding! She was a complete lifesaver in my near nervous breakdown. Her baker did a beautiful job on our cake and the food displays were classic. I would highly recommend Rania for any event, especially for weddings.

We are very pleased with Rania's Catering and would highly recommend her to all. From the very beginning of our venue search, Rania was responsive, friendly, and helpful. Her efforts to help us plan, not only the wedding but the ceremony as well, (both were at The Pennsylvanian) were extraordinary. She essentially acted as our wedding planner helping us with every detail. Additionally, her staff are very competent and equally professional. Our only minor issue was some of the bartenders were taking tips. While this was not a major issue, Rania had told us that she would not tolerate any of her staff accepting tips, so we personally tipped the staff quite generously prior to the wedding. That said, after the wedding Rania took the time to review the matter with us and we were very satisfied with her response. If you are planning to have a magical wedding, Rania's is a must!

If you are looking for a dependable, professional and AWESOME caterer, look no further than Rania's. The food for our wedding was exceptional! Rania runs a tight ship, from having the food prepared on time to the top-notch quality of her staff. It's been about two months since our wedding and our friends and family are still complimenting us on how OUTSTANDING the food was. And the desserts were just as delectable as the meal! Her pastry chef is wonderful (as are all her workers :)

I had always intended on hiring a professional wedding planner for my only daughter's wedding. When a met with Rania, I realized that was no longer necessary as she & her very capable group had everything covered. I appreciated her availability to me and her decisiveness, easily justifying the the cost of her services. Her staff was knowledgeable, congenial and truly amazing throughout. The reception at the Pennsyvanian was proclaimed the perfect mix of fun & elegance!

Rania's Catering did a fantastic job from beginning to end. From our very first meeting with Rania to the day of the wedding, I felt completely confident that everything would go very smoothly. The quality of the food was outstanding and the entire staff was extremely professional, friendly and very helpful. Rania created a time line and floor plan for the entire event and communicated this information to all of my other vendors which enabled everything to run right on time. In addition, she communicated with my daughter (bride) and myself frequently as responses came in and she was always available to answer our questions. With Rania's Catering, you will be able to enjoy your wedding and spend the evening with family and friends without a worry or concern.

Rania rocks. She not only is a successful entrepreneur but also an astute reader of her customers. She met us and very quickly knew what we wanted and led us through the whole process with superb advice. She connected us to the perfect photographer, DJ, florist, chamber music group... Not only did she provide us with what dozens of our guests called "the most delicious food they had EVER had at a wedding" but she also functioned as a planner - since we were doing this from out of town. I have to say my wedding weekend was a pinnacle (if not THE pinnacle) of my life to date (and i've had a wonderful live) and Rania's leadership and assistance made this possible. THANKS!

If you are seeking to achieve the event of your dreams, you must use Rania to plan your event! More like a wedding planner than simply a caterer, she helped us choose everything from serving spoons to the perfect table linens. Our food was phenomenal, the service was impeccable, and the evening was worry free...what more could you ask for? Rania knows her business so well, and is able to share her refined skills with you in a highly organized and timely manner. As long as we live in Pittsburgh, I will use Rania for all my future events.

Rania's catering made my day absolutely perfect! Everyone raved about the food and Rania's catering paid special attention to every little detail. It would not have been the same with any other caterer.

In my opinion, there is NO ONE better to cater your special occasion than Rania and her staff. My husband and I chose Rania to cater our wedding, and boy, are we lucky that we did!! Everything was absolutely immaculate. So many of our guests said that it was the best food they've ever eaten at a wedding (or any where for that matter!). I have never met a more efficient group of people. Not only that, but they are so genuinely sweet and really let you know how much they care for you and the special occasion you're planning. Rania and her staff are the very best - so professional, so efficient, so caring- and are worth EVERY penny. I would recommend them to ANYONE!! Rania is so well known and respected in the area that other vendors get back to her immediately, making planning your occasion a million times easier. Trust me, you're in the best hands in Pittsburgh! We love Rania!!

Rania's Catering (Rania) was fantastic throughout the entire planning process for our daughters wedding and on that BIG DAY, Rania herself and staff far exceeded our and even our guests expectations! With Rania handling just about everything, there was no need to worry (which I did) but I'm telling you.... there is NO worry, everything was perfect and absolutely beautiful....sooooo you need not worry when Rania's Catering is handling your "BID DAY" too!

If you want to have a perfect day, put yourself in Rania's hands! She helped us choose a menu that completely reflected the bride and groom's tastes -- and her suggestions for colors helped set the tone for the whole reception. We completely trusted the staff to get all the details for the day right -- and they did not disappoint! People are still calling, to tell me how delicious the food was, and how impressive the staff was. Thank you for making my daughter's wedding her dream come true!

Rania did a great job organizing my venue and vendors. She made it very easy that way. The food was excellent and the servers were great as well. We had heard that her wait staff had taken away food/drinks before people were finished at other weddings, but that was not the case at all. The one thing I didn't like was the estimates she gave us for our inital inquiry were too low for the rentals. The food and staff prices were accurate, however the rentals (tables, chairs, dishes, flatware, etc) which are from a different company, were higher than her estimate. We did chose some of the nicer rental table linens and chairs, but there was pretty much no way we could have gotten the figure down to her orginal estimate. Other than that, I really enjoyed working with Rania and would do it again.

If you are looking for an awesome caterer look no farther! They catered my daughter's wedding and I couldn't have been happier with the night. I recieved so many compliments on the food, the service, the waiter's attentiveness to the tables, and their professionalism. Everything was outstanding, I can't say enough good things about it. Rania was a joy to work with. She answered all my questions, (believe me I had alot!), trivial or important. Her staff was amazing. They were all sweethearts. It was such a relief knowing they were in control that day and that we had nothing to worry about. The day went smoothly and we got to enjoy the evening knowing we were in good hands.
Thanks again Rania it was a pleasure.

My daughter's wedding was catered by Rania, and we were most pleased with everything that she did from the preparation with us, coordination of services with the other vendors, attention to detail, and the amazing food. All of our guests raved about the food from the appetizers during the cocktail hour to the main course and finally to the delicious wedding cake. We so appreciated all of her efforts on our behalf that helped to make the day truly memorable for us. Thank you so much, Rania!

The quality of food was outstanding. For a 200 person wedding, it's incredibly challenging to produce a meal that matches or exceeds the quality of the food at the tasting. Rania's team achieved this. As an event planner, I know that this is no easy feat. We could not get over how amazing the food was - and beautifully presented too! The cake that Rania's pastry chef made was also fantastic - beautiful and delicious. He even made a special icing for the cake that we wanted to use.

The servers and floor manager were also wonderful - they took care of everything and were lovely people. Everything was perfect!

Rania and her staff were absolutely a joy to work with. I was planning my wedding from Philadelphia and Rania made it work with only meeting her in person 1 time after the menu was already finalized.
She had wonderful suggestions and recommendations in regard to cost efficiency and how to make the evening what we were looking for. Rania was there not only to assist in the catering end of our wedding but the planning as well. She remains professional but has a personal affect on you as well. I never once in all my emails (which I felt there were a million) felt as if I was a bother or asking too many questions. She was quick to respond and always made time for us! Overall our experience was spectacular, I would definitely recommend Rania Catering!

AMAZING!!! Rania is hands down the best caterer that we have ever been introduced to! Every single one of our guests complimented on how great the food was, and Rania was able to take an old family recipe for a cake and make it exactly like what it should be! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Rania was absolutely wonderful to work with! She is so creative and works with you on whatever you want. Rania is so much more than a caterer. Rania coordinated with all of our vendors so we did not have to worry about a thing. Everyone says they are so stressed before their weddings but I was not. I have Rania to thank for that!

I also want to say how fantastic Rania's staff was. We had Cindy as our floor manager for our wedding reception at The Pennsylvanian. She made everything run smoothly even when we fell behind schedule a bit. I truly had nothing to worry about.

The wedding cake was the best cake I have ever had! Everyone went on and on about how delicious the wedding cake was! It was beautiful too!

Rania is the perfect caterer to work with!

Rania's Catering Service took care of two events for me, my traditional Bangladeshi Gaye Holud Ceremony on Friday at Phipps Conservatory and my wedding at The Pennsylvanian on Saturday.

SERVICE: Her service team was top notch, they made me feel at ease and were always there to make sure my guests were taken care of. During set up, she and her team executed their responsibilities very well. On Saturday, the time leading up to my arrival to the Pennsylvanian was very hectic. My mother lost her blouse and since she was so preoccupied with that, she couldn't help me put on my complex wedding sari until the last minute. When I arrived to the Pennsylvanian I was still stressed and after I was taken to the top of the stairs I tried hard to destress. The waitress that was assigned to me, I can't remember her name now (she was young with blond hair and has worked with Rania for 8+ years) stayed with me and her sweet nature and calmness really helped me feel better. If I saw her today, I would give her the biggest hug, because a friendly voice and the amazing appetizers is what I needed at the moment. I was instantly in a better mood and ready for a wonderful evening.

FOOD: . The food was high quality. Both venues did not allow outside caterers, so her team took extra time to create authentic Bangladeshi food for my wedding and Middle Eastern food for my Gaye Holud event. Her team was also very accommodating regarding dietary needs. I have to say the Beef Biriyani she made was as good as a Bangladeshi chefs. Also, I was absolutely in love with my wedding cake. Her pastries over all are divine.

Overall, I would be more than comfortable hiring Rania's team again. As far as service, food, and coordination during set up, they did an excellent job!

Rania's Catering is the complete package. Rania and her assistant, Susan, were always professional. Any questions, whether by phone or email, were answered on the day received--even if they were on vacation. When planning an event you find that along the way you change your mind about things. Rania was very flexible with changes, but also guided our decisions based on her expertise and years of experience. The staff was very attentive to the details and pleasant. Guests commented about the wonderful and plentiful hor d'oeuvres. We had stations and guests' plates were piled high. From our first encounter to the last detail of the evening we were made to feel confident that all would go well. This assured us that we could relax and enjoy our daughter's wedding which we truly did.

Rania and her staff were great to work with. The food was amazing, and we received so many compliments. Planning the menu was a breeze...she has so much in her recipe cache that we had what felt like limitless options, but was quick to suggest combinations that she thought would work, so we weren't overwhelmed. Their performance the day of was perfect. They were very professional and attentive. Rania can come off as pushy at times, but she is absolutely willing to work with you, make changes, and address your concerns. Overall a great experience, great food, great wedding!

Rania was wonderful to work with, for many reasons. She had many different options to choose from to help us come up with a unique menu (we did not want the common dinner choices). She helped us make decisions by asking questions and offering opinions when we requested them, but she didn’t push us at all. She did provide advice, which we wanted. The food was hot, the presentation excellent and it tasted great. The hors d’ouevres were exceptional. Her staff is extremely professional and very friendly. Rania herself is very organized and extremely detail-oriented – she is on top of everything within her organization and also with the other vendors we contracted with for our event. She walked us through the process and made it much easier to understand what decisions needed to be made and when. She followed up promptly when we had questions and she e-mailed us revisions anytime we made changes. She takes control of the event and makes sure everything is handled in advance, very professionally, so the day of the wedding you don’t have to think about a thing other than enjoying the reception. We loved working with her and her staff (her floor manager, Susan, was wonderful too!). We would recommend Rania in a heartbeat!

I cannot say enough about Rania and her staff. They are the epitome of quality and customer service. From the very beginning they were so kind and were always sure to return a phone call. Every detail was well thought out, the menu was 100% customized to our wants and budget, and the food was phenomenal. Everyone told me that we would not have time to eat the food at our own wedding, but after the tasting, I knew that was not an option. I would not have missed that filet for the world!! We didn't get to have the hors d'oeuvres, but they received rave reviews from our guests. All of the servers were on top of every detail and most importantly were pleasant and happy to help. The event manager was like the wedding planner I didn't have. She ensured that I did not stress about a thing, and all went off without a hitch!

TOP NOTCH!!! Rania and her team were wonderful. The service and quality of food was outstanding. The ease of conducting all business through Rania made planning our wedding so easy!

When we reserved the Pennsylvanian for our daughter's wedding, we were given two names of caterers that were not only recommended but that we were required to use. Made sense - only the best of the best would have the confidence of such a grand venue. Our daughter contacted both caterers over email and Rania's prompt response and amazingly detailed, organized description of her services and choices was our first clue that we were soon to be involved with someone very special. When we met with Rania in person, her warm and personable demeanor gave us tremendous assurance that choosing Rania's Catering was the choice for us, and we decided to not even interview the other caterer. We just sent in our deposit ASAP for fear that someone else would book her on our date - which was 20 months out! A year later, our bride, groom, and parents of the bride sat down with Rania for an intense planning meeting. Intense because there were many choices to be made. You see, having a wedding at the amazing Pennsylvanian requires you to bring EVERYTHING in - place settings, tables, chairs, linens. In one afternoon, Rania transformed the immense empty space of the grand Pennsylvanian Concourse into a vision of the reception our bride-to-be hoped for - complete with CAD drawings that we took home that day. The two fellows never would have put up with picking out china and flatware and glasses so patiently if it hadn't been for Rania's delightful humor and helpful guidance. Rania saved the best part of the planning for last - picking out the menu. This was so much fun! There were so many delectable choices, but we designed a menu that inevitably received absolutely rave reviews from our guests. I am starting to receive feedback from them. They all go something like this... the salad was out of this world - so refreshing - like nothing I've ever had before... I couldn't decide whether I liked the beef or the crab cake better - weren't the sauces absolutely fantastic... who was your caterer? Rania! Who made your cake which was so delicious - just the right amount of sweetness? Rania! Who made the amazing chocolate truffles? Rania! You mean Rania that was on TV? That's the one! Now, not only was the food outstanding, but Rania's Catering staffed our reception with so many servers that all 212 of our guests were served their wine, champagne, and food close to all at once. Speaking of staff, I must mention that we were assigned two floor managers from Rania's Catering that were unbelievably helpful. The setup, reception, and breakdown went so smoothly thanks to their efficiency and competence. Not to mention the comments from my family about how nice they were. Rania's Catering is a 5 star operation. They have everything down to a science. They are very in demand and very busy, yet, their extremely amiable and hospitable style makes you feel that your reception is their number one and only priority. As our date approached, Rania and our floor managers responded to my many last minute questions on details so promptly and reassuringly. Rania Harris helped us plan the most amazing of receptions and her staff executed the plan in a delightful and perfect way. I highly recommend Rania's Catering to all of you brides-to-be. Rania will help you create your dream wedding and will play an important role in having it come true!

Excellent food; very helpful event coordinator; event staff made the evening's events flow flawlessly.

Rania and her staff were very personable throughout the entire planning process. They were quick to answer email questions (even if they seemed silly) and even helped us with details about our venue that they had experience with. Friendliness aside, our guests loooved the food! We had amazing hors d'oeuvres and every detail of the dinner was fantastic!

Rania did an unbelievable job with our daughter's recent wedding. My family is of Italian decent and our gatherings are always all about THE FOOD so to me the food was as important as anything else for my baby girls special day. We were not disappointed. Rania was very professional, paid attention to every detail and prepared a magnificent feast. The selections she offered from appetizers, salads, entrees to desserts was huge and varied. I even asked her to make a special father of the bride sampler plate so I could have a bit of each entree at the reception (normally I wouldn't think of ordering the vegetarian selection). She even had staff that catered the appetizers to the wedding party while they were doing pictures. Rania's staff was very professional, courteous and fun. We even talked them into a little dancing between dinner and dessert. When my daughter told me she was meeting with Rania about the reception i told her not to get her hopes because I thought with her reputation she would be way overpriced. As a matter of fact she was less expensive than a lot of other caterers and she prepared everything on site, even cutting the vegetables for the mixed vegetable sautee for a side and cut all the salad and fixings for it on site. They grilled the filets on site and brought the ovens in to do all the cooking. We had the ceremony and reception at our home for 270 of our family and friends and I did not have to worry about a thing. Rania took care of everything and made sure it came off without a hitch. You can go with another caterer and have a nice wedding or you can hire Rania and have an unforgettable wedding. When you are picking your entrees, sides, salad, appetizers and desserts just listen to her recommendations and you won't be sorry.

Rania,
We appreciate this opportunity to respond to your catering services. First, the food was absolutely delicious! Everyone commented how wonderful it was and my guests are still raving about the Burnt Almond Torte! The wait staff was very polite and friendly and were constantly moving to make sure that guests were offered food. Secondly, the set up of the tables was beautiful and created a very romantic atmosphere. However, the tables were not set up as we had talked about.

However, there were some concerns that really needed to let you know about. We were told by our guests that plates were removed from the Tuscan Table because we had "too many guests!" Ed, himself had to eat off of his hand! We don't believe that it was the server's right to make the decision and take it upon herself to remove plates. We spent a great deal of money and don't feel our guests needed to eat off of napkins.

In addition, the food was set up late. After the ceremony, our guests had to just stand around and wait for the food. It was an uncomfortable feeling.

Finally, at the end of the reception the food was immediately taken away without us knowing and we thought maybe we would be given the opportunity to be asked if we wanted the leftovers. For the price, perhaps (at least some of it) could have been boxed and given to us.

We do not want to appear ungrateful, because, as we said, it was a beautiful "set up" and the food and wait staff were Awesome! HOwever, we felt you should know about our concerns.

Respectfully,

Pam and Ed Halchak

Rania catered my wedding recently. The food was excellent and many guests have commented about how good the dinners and appetizers were. I would agree. She was quick to respond by both phone and email. However, the final cost was significantly higher than the initial response I had from her to get an idea of her service and costs, I felt that she was extremely inflexible, and not at all professional. During my event, her staff did not put my favors out (Rania did reimburse me the cost but I would have preferred my guests receive the favor), her staff cleared full bar drinks from tables driving up my bar tab. They also started clearing the room well before the end time of my event giving guests the indication that the event was over. Guests were told 30 minutes prior to the end of our event that they could not have coffee because it had already been dumped out. One of the servers had an untucked shirt while they were clearing. All of this made it seem like the event was over and guests should be leaving. Upon notifying Rania of these issues - not asking for money back (except for the favors), just to make her aware of what we felt were some issues that she should be aware of since she was not present and these things should be addressed with her staff - Rania shouted that she didn't need our help and her blood pressure was rising. I also had an entire tier of my wedding cake disappear. I am told it was served to my guests and I am supposed to believe that 57 guests ate a grooms cake serving 57, and two tiers serving 50 and 20 each. (minus the dozen pieces I brought home) While none of this ruined the evening, it's disappointing that she wouldn't gracefully accept feedback given in attempt for her to improve some things lacking at our event. Despite that we have gotten positive feedback on the food, I would never work with Rania again because it was frustrating and difficult from the time that contract was signed.

Rania was wonderful - very responsive and the food was amazing!
Because of her professionalism and quality, I had a fabulous wedding - without any headaches!

From the first moment we met Rania, we knew she was the one we wanted to cater our wedding. She was professional, friendly, up-beat, knowledgeable and organized.

She was willing to design a menu that incorporated our wishes. She even had a Romanian dish prepared from scratch (from a receipe we found on the internet). Rania definitely knows food and knows what works well together in a wedding setting.

Due to our wedding location, Rania not only had to provide/prepare the food, but she also had to coordinate all rentals (tables, chairs, linens, etc.) ~ no small job, but everything was perfect.

Rania did an excellent job keeping in touch with us as things progressed (and was quick to respond to any questions from us). She provided a tracking tool to assist in monitoring the food selections from our wedding guests. A day or two before the wedding, she sent a detailed e-mail to all vendors involved outlining the day and what was to happen.

Rania was open to change (things were not set in stone on day one). At the tasting, we decided to significantly change one dish and the change was graciously accepted by Rania and her staff.

On the wedding day, the food was delicious. Numerous guests commented on the asparagus salad, saying it was the best dressing they had ever tasted. The staff was amazing. All servers were well dressed and extremely friendly. The seated dinner was served in a timely fashion. The cake, also prepared by Rania's pastry chef, was both beautiful and delicious.

I can't say how happy we were with everything done by Rania and her staff. I would highly recommend her to any bride & groom.

Rania's Catering went above and beyond my expectations for my wedding day. The food was terrific - the best I've ever had at a wedding. The wedding cake was fresh and delicious and beautifully done. All of my guests were extremely impressed with the wait staff and bartenders, and the floor manager made sure everything ran smoothly. The service was just perfect!

Best of all, Rania really turned all of our requests into a fantastic party! She took care of coordinating linens and equipment rentals, and the dinner room looked amazing! We were an out-of-town couple, and she made special meeting times to accommodate when we'd be in town. She took care of many of the details I may have missed. We are so glad we chose Rania's!

Rania went above and beyond to provide the best service possible, not to mention the hottest, and most succulent fillet mignon and crab cakes!

Our wedding was at Phipps and the service was first class. Everybody raved about the food and I would definitely recommend Rania to any of my friends.

overall very well done

My husband and I are both in the housing business so needless to say, like so many others, we have been financially challenged over the last few years. When our only daughter became engaged last year we so wanted to give her a wedding day that she would always cherish. After many interviews and phone calls, we came upon Rania and she was the answer to our prayers. With Rania's guidance our daughter's wedding was more than we could have ever hoped possible. The food was fabulous from start to finish!!! We had a cocktail hour with wonderful appetizers, a "passed plate" dinner, and Rania's staff supplied the cake that was perfect!!! Rania was ALWAYS available for anxious mom of the bride phone calls and emails. I HIGHLY recommend her and her staff!!! ...Rania, if anyone would like to speak to a past client of yours, I'm your girl, I sing your praises to anyone who will listen! Thanks again for giving my baby a wonderful day, we couldn't have done it without you!! Melinda Banach

Rania did all of tthe rentals as far as chais, tables, linens tents and food. I will have to say that everything she did down to the cake was absolutely magnificent. All our guests were in awe of everything. She also gave us names of other vendors she has worked with who we ended up using and loved as well.

Everything with Rania's went off without a hitch! Her staff was absolutely supportive and charming, and Rania herself made the day PERFECT with a to-die-for menu! Thank you Rania!!!!!

Rania and her staff are wonderful. She was very accomodating when it came to our menu preferences and her staff on the day of the event was excellent. The food was better than what you get in most restaurants, and the servers were fast and very attentive. Rania's pastry chef made the best wedding cake I have ever tasted!!

Rania is absolutely amazing! The food was outstanding, the staff was amazing, and everything went off without a hitch!

Rania's catering handled all of my rentals (chairs, tables, linens, silverware, etc.), the bar, food, and wedding cake for my wedding. Rania is a very personable professional woman. She has a vast knowledge of the business. Her staff the night of the wedding were very corteous and prompt. The food was tasty, presented well and the cake was delicious and looked exactly the way I wanted it to.

Our son and daughter-in-law used Rania's Catering for their wedding at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. The food and service were absolutely wonderful! It was such a beautiful and elegant wedding. I sat in on the planning session for the menu selection. Rania had so many excellent suggestions, and customized the menu and recipes to match what the bride and her mother were envisioning. Highly recommended!

Rania's cuisine is second to none, her personality and passion are what makes your mouth water with everything she creates. I've had the honor of being a photographer at events with her at the Pennsylvanian and Phipps Conservatory in the past and looking forward to the future events next.

Rania is a welcome addition to our authorized caterer list. Her warm personality assures the client that all will be perfect for their event. Extraordinary cuisine, service, and quality are what you can expect when choosing Rania's Catering.

We had the pleasure of working with Rania from Rania's Catering at a recent wedding and were very impressed by her staff and quality of service to her clients. Not only was the food excellent, but so was her organization and communication. Top notch all the way!

Always excited when we see Rania's. We know we will be fed WELL :D Regardless is it main course or the vendor box. Its always fantastic

We love working with Rania's Catering! Great staff, fantastic food, and always rave reviews from our brides! We highly recommend Rania's!

Rania's Catering is hands down the best catering company in Pittsburgh and the surrounding area! Rania and her staff are so professional and the food is amazing! I LOVE working with them, and highly recommend them to all of my clients!

extraordinary talent, very caring and wonderful to work with

Rania always does a fantastic job with her catering events. She provides pleasant, professional, quick service. Her food is second to none - always creative, beautiful and delicious plates. I highly recommend Rania Catering.

We've had the pleasure of DJing some weddings that Rania's has catered. DELICIOUS!

Rania's always does a great job. Great food and service to match.
