Rob from La Prima Catering Willow Grove was excellent to work with. He went above and beyond to make our catering needs for our meeting successful and not stressful! His communication and kindness was excellent. I highly recommend ordering catering services through him for work or personal events! Thank you, Rob, for all your hard work and help!

Karen isn't there and hasn't been since Fall of 2017. So we had our wedding all planned out and the exact same thing happened to us as happened to the other reviewing couple. About a month before the wedding we were told Gabrielle would be taking over- upon our first meeting it was apparent that she had not thoroughly reviewed our already signed contract and set food menu. They tried to pull the whole extra money per person for the same amount of food (same as another poster) and we pushed back a bit (did I mention we had a signed contract from months prior?). We kept hoping it would

I have used La Prima on two occasions and every one of our guests was delighted by the quality and flavors of all the food. The first event was a bridal shower I hosted for my sister in August of 2017. Everything was perfect, which help make the event successful.

We hired Karen and Laprima for our wedding on 4/29/17. We were not the easiest to work with because we wanted a certain type of reception and feel. Karen through it all was very upfront and calm. Her cool demeanor was actually the reason we hired her. We had no worries the day of our wedding. People raved about how great the food was and how much they ate. Someone just told us they ate so much and the food was one of the best at any wedding. Karen and her staff ensured we were good the entire night. They served us and continued to check on us. My bride was beyond amazed at the attentiveness of

We hired Karen and LaPrima for our wedding in September at the Highlands in Fort Washington.
Karen was a dream to work with. She was so calm and attentive and never made us feel rushed or pressured.
You would have thought that we were her only clients. She was quick to answer any questions we had.
She worked with us to choose a meal that fit our budget. It was very important to us that the food be exceptional.
We basically got to create our own menu. Our guests commented on how good the food was.
One even stated that out of all the many weddings he had attended, our food was the best

We used La Prima Catering for our wedding this past May, and highly recommend them! We found La Prima through the preferred catering list at our venue (Highlands Mansion and Gardens, in Fort Washington) and actually called down the list until we found someone who could work within our budget.
Karen was wonderful to work with. She listened to all of our concerns/questions (especially regarding our finances) and really put us both at ease. We had a great tasting before the wedding, the food was absolutely delicious, and it felt like we had a great collaboration with food ideas and linen/dinnerware

Fabulous to deal with! I had a family gathering of 26 for two meals in a "remote" location. La Prima was great to work with despite the distance from Philly. They were easy and professional on the phone to work with in selecting the menus within my budget. They showed up on time, the presentation of everything was very well arranged, and most importantly - the food was delicious! They even provided containers for the leftovers and took trash with them! I will happily use them again!

I do not know where to begin... My entire experience with La Prima from my first Meeting w Karen, the sales manager to my event was beyond amazing . Karen not only helped me plan my menu but she went above and beyond in assisting in so many other areas .... Figuring out my linens, what sizes to order,setting up my room , doing my floor plan ... I could go on and on.... The food was fresh , delicious and the staff was great! My friends raved about the food and the presentation was absolutely elegant and beautiful. No matter what your budget is Karen will work with you and make it work ! Thank you

I have used La Prima Catering for events from as few as a half dozen people to up to 500, and not once have I had a single complaint. The staff is amazing, delivery is always on time and the food is delicious! What more could you ask for in a catering company? I recommended them to everybody I know, and will continue to do so!

I have used La Prima Catering on many occasions for our office functions and have always been very pleased and hear nothing but great comments from our staff. The food, staff and display they present when setting up are top notch and something I'm always happy to present to our staff....always the best! I will call them again when I have a function.

La Prima in both College Park, MD and Alexandria, VA have catered a number of events for Case Design/Remodeling (including our Home Remodeling Seminars). We have been 100% satisfied with both the quality of their food and their high level of customer service. Upon delivering the food, they always ask if they can set it up, along with supplying all the needed accessories (i.e. napkins, plates, utensils) so that we don't have to worry. We continue to use them for our events, and I highly recommend them!

La Prima to catered my wedding and I couldn't have been happier. Karen and her
staff are the absolute best. They made sure that we were accommodated at every turn. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and fun to be around. Several guest came to us and our parents to say how delicious they though the food was. I would not hesitate to recommend or book La Prima again.

I had a disappointing lunch delivered today. It was basically a sandwich/wrap tray with chips, salad, dessert and 2-liter drinks. The bread and the wraps were soggy as if they were made the day before. Furthermore, the cheese had melted in a standing around way, not in a toasted manner.
I guess it could have been made that morning, but it was too far in advance to deliver a proper product. With all of the good reviews, I had expected better. In comparison, sandwiches from Wawa come fresh baked bread these days.

We use La Prima Catering for business meetings at my office. The staff is nice, the Delivery people are nice. They have good food and will make you anything you want. The catering menu is just a guideline. They have a variety of food sure to please most pallets and are very clean and professional in presentation. Also, they always make their delivery window. They are on the list of preferred Caterers we use.

The 2nd day of training, we were given a hot lunch! Yay-uh!
La Prima Catering brought in some calzones, some very interesting and different calzones with caesar salad.
The various calzones that were provided were:
- Cappicola ham and pepperocini
- Philadelphia cheese steak with shaved steak, provolone, American cheese and grilled onions
- Italian herb chicken
- Sautéed spinach and feta cheese
The calzones were nicely cooked (had a nice brown color). The bread was light. I tried the Philadelphia cheese steak since I was in Philly. There was enough meat in there (they weren't being cheap
