As a husband and wife team (who planned their Central PA wedding from hundreds of miles away!), we understand the wedding planning process can be a bit daunting and even a little intimidating. Every vendor is unique and does the process differently, which can make it a bit overwhelming. Our goal is to always make sure you feel 100% comfortable to ask any questions, and to truly capture the essence of your relationship in the food we serve.
Our team realizes planning a corporate function is a labor of love; that's why we make it easy on you! We'll custom-create your menu, plus source any outside items needed, like flowers, decor, rentals, and even a venue if you need one. From board luncheons and expos, to fundraisers and employee appreciation parties, we have your back in all of the planning details.
Have an anniversary or reunion on the horizon, or is someone retiring? Let Mountain Laurel Catering take care of the planning and execution so that you are free to enjoy the milestone celebration. We are also there for you for End of Life Celebrations and work closely with Funeral homes and directors to ensure the day runs smoothly for everyone.
We believe in supporting local venues and businesses whenever possible and are sincerely thankful to our Community of organic and sustainable farmers and purveyors who have welcomed us into the area's event arena. Meet some of our farms & friends below. We work with many amazing vendors in the surrounding Harrisburg, York, Lancaster, Baltimore areas.

Positive: Quality
Mountain Laurel Catering & Events produced great food and service for our wedding day! The food was something guests talked about and enjoyed a ton. We appreciated the service the day of our wedding so much- they were the most attentive that day out of the whole process working together and that was something we were thankful for.

Wow! This weekend was an absolute dream! We can not extend our appreciation enough to Mountain Laurel Catering. Cocktail hour was amazing! Your staff noticed that majority of people were hanging outside and immediately adapted and started walking drinks out to people instead of having them walk inside to the bar. As someone “in the food service biz” this is something I notice… an unexpected personal touch! We have received an overwhelming amount of compliments on the food from our guests. Especially the bread, strawberry butter, flank steak, meatball appetizer, mini pecan pies and have heard

I hired Mountain Lauren Catering for my wedding day and they did not disappoint! All of our guests raved about our food, they were very helpful and friendly the day of the wedding, and we also loved doing the tasting they set up! It was a great experience overall. We also did the desert package with them which included a small 2 tier cake. I wasn't expecting anything significant for the cake but it was SO GOOD! My husband and I were planning on keeping the top layer for our one year anniversary but then ended up eating most of it at home because it was too good! lol

MLC's incredible food is perhaps rivaled only by their extraordinary patience. Because delicious but ethical food was a priority for us, MLC was the first vendor we booked, so they were with us from the moment we started planning. As the global health crisis evolved, so did our plans. When we ditched our indoor venue in favor of an outdoor wedding at our home, MLC were on board. When we went from an anticipated guest count of 150 down to 45-55 then up to 85, they didn't flinch. As our venue and guest count changed, so did our plans for food and service. Also, thank you Jess for being so accommodating

I can't recommend this caterer enough. Not only did the guests RAVE about the food, but they went above and beyond to make my husband's and I's day extra special. From drinks and apps delivered while we were taking pictures at cocktail hour, to setting up our shot wall seating chart. There is no better caterer. My photographer even told me that she won't eat wedding food unless Mountain Laurel is catering because it's too good to pass up! If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Hands down, the best decision we made for our wedding. Every interaction that we had with any of the staff from Mountain Laurel was next level. From the first email exchange, they had set themselves apart from the competitors . Planning a wedding from a few hours away wasn't the easiest, but they were so accommodating (tasting during an off season weekend, we asked to pick up a different cake flavor, help with actual photos of tablecloth colors, etc). The food was excellent! All of our guests raved over the cocktail hour food and it only got better as the night went on. The staff was incredible
