My wedding at Bishop farmstead was nothing short of perfection. The food, the space, and the details were all nailed down to a T. Our wedding planners Gina & Kayla made sure this day from the first day of planning to the big day met and exceeded all of my expectations. They ensured everything looked perfect as well as ran so so smoothly. They worked with our budget and responded so quickly to every question. They went above and beyond to create a magical day that we will NEVER forget. I wouldn't change a single thing. read more

JAM went above and beyond to create the most magical day of our dreams at Aldie Mansion. The team truly held our hands for the entire year of the planning process and made the every single step seamless and easy. Many of our guests commented on the fact that we were an extremely calm bride and groom and we credit being stress free to JAM and whole team at Aldie. THANK YOU for all that you do and for creating real magic!!! read more

Timeless & Elegant Wedding Venue From the moment we walked up to the front of the mansion in June 2023, we knew this was the perfect place for our April 2024 wedding. Aldie Mansion and the grounds are simply breathtaking! From the initial meeting with Kim Bates to the detail planning stages with Monika Zadroga, the entire process was fabulous. Monika stepped in after a small hiccup with the prior event planner and we couldn't have been more impressed by her attention to detail, walking us through each step and what to expect. She was extremely accommodating with some of the cultural components we wanted to add to our day! Aldie mansion and the entire staff were incredibly attentive and ensuring we had a stress free day! And the food - no words... our guests are still raving about it! Highly recommend this venue for a magical and elegant experience. read more

One of my main priorities for my upcoming wedding at Bellevue Hall was serving delicious food, so we were a little nervous when we selected a venue exclusively catered by JAM only because we hadn't yet tried the food. This fear completely melted away after our group tasting event at Aldie Mansion on 12/18/22 --- the food was incredible, and we can't wait for our big day! To start our event, we were warmly greeted and briefly oriented to the layout and schedule of the tasting, which began with welcome beverages, hors d'oeuvres, and samples from their cocktail hour enhancement food stations. The highlight of the cocktail hour for us were several of the hors d'ouerves, which we are grateful to have included. We were especially excited about the Love Note (phyllo dough, Asian pear, goat cheese) and the Mozzarella Tartlets (mozzarella, sundried tomato, pine nuts). In terms of cocktails, there was a lemon and thyme cocktail that we really enjoyed. They had a station with their apothecary cocktails, which was cool in theory, but seemed to take way too long (at one point, it took a solid 5 minutes for this poor man to make 6 half-full Moscow mules that weren't really anything to write home about). We tried several of the cocktail hour enhancements, many of which were good (guacamole station, paella, poke bowls, Dim Sum dumplings) or mediocre at best (the soft pretzels were weird and not really made with pretzel-like dough). However, the food got significantly better with the entrees and salads. We were treated to a selection of vegetarian, fish, chicken, and beef entrees (two from each category!) with accompanying sides that we got to share with our table of 3 other engaged couples planning events with JAM. As someone who tends toward vegetarian options, I was grateful that both example vegetarian options were delicious and flavorful --- and not just boring baked ziti! The Sesame Garlic Tofu was well prepared, and the Hearts of Palm cake came with an excellent sauce. All of the meat/fish entrees were well seasoned and perfectly cooked, which reassured us there was not a bad option on their extensive menu. With the event being so large, it was also helpful to know the meals could be served at the appropriate temperature and texture to a large group. The highlights for us included the Australian sea bass, Yuzu-Glazed chicken, and Guinness-braised short ribs. Dessert was also incredible; we were given the opportunity to try 6 different cake/frosting combinations along with several dessert stations. Their "Arnold Palmer" cake with lemon buttercream was a surprising standout, and I loved their lavender gelato from the gelato station. JAM finished the day by collecting our written feedback and providing us each with our choice of edible party favors --- in our case, a trio of macarons and some rosemary caramel popcorn, which were both delicious. read more

Having our wedding at Tyler Arboretum that uses JAM catering. Had our group tasting and everything was INCREDIBLE! Can't wait for all the food and cocktails at our wedding! read more

I'm super happy with our choice to go with a JAM catering venue for our wedding from the planning aspect alone. We are getting married at ASHM but I had a friend get married at their Anthony Wayne House venue. Prior to booking, I asked about her experience and she gushed about the food. That alone was enough for me to move forward with JAM, but as a June 2025 bride, the planning assistance has been great. They have it down to a science and I feel very comfortable and prepared going into the final month before the big day. read more

Cant recommend Jeffery Miller catering enough. Our experience planning our wedding with them has been enjoyable and smooth. It was difficult to choose between the unique venues in their portfolio. Their staff are help and responsive, and their food is great! read more

we are using Jam Catering for our wedding in November. There are some negative reviews that I have read about them but I am very hopeful that they will be great! We have had an outstanding experience with them during the planning read more

We are getting married at the Cauffiel Estate on September 20th. We booked with JAM in October of 2022 and JAM has been nothing short of amazing. Our Even Designer has been so quick to respond and answer any and all questions we ever have. We had our food tasting in Feb and the food was AMAZING. Best I ever tasted. We cannot wait to have our big day! read more

Great wedding caterer and wedding company. We had a great experience planning our wedding with them. They really know what they're doing and truly care about making your day special read more

JAM has been incredible to work with from the first day we decided to hire them for my fiancée and I's wedding. Every team member we have come in contact with, including Mr Miller himself, have been incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly were able to make my fiancée and I feel comfortable. The lead up to a wedding can be incredibly stressful & daunting, but luckily our event coordinator, Erin, has guided us every step of the way. Working with her has been an absolute delight. I could not recommend a better company to work with than JAM. read more

My FH and I just had our tasting with Jeffrey A. Miller Catering for our summer wedding at the Barn at Cauffiel House in Delaware. JAM focuses on farm-to- table, fresh ingredients, sometimes picked right from their urban garden, and we were NOT disappointed. The group event was like a mini wedding itself! There was a DJ and a showcase of various beverage, hors d'oeuvres, appetizers, entrees, desserts, and even to-go favors. Their flavors are bold and unique, and so delicious. We really loved how fresh the food tasted and how it was not standard wedding fair - there was definitely an elevated flair to each dish. It will be difficult to narrow down what to choose! So happy we chose to be part of the JAMily. read more

See all

JAM Catering has been amazing. The food is incredibly fresh and they have so many different options for appetizers, salads, cocktail hour, and the main course. They can customize and make the menu to however you want it to be. They even have the option to have a full vegan menu! We love working with them and are so happy to bring our friends and family together with them. read more

We had my daughters wedding at John J Audubon Center. No regrets on the venue...it's absolutely beautiful. I'm giving 3 stars to JAM because they were so disorganized, which caused us a fair amount of stress in the week leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day. They flooded us with paperwork for months, most of it redundant, then 5 days before the wedding they sent us an urgent email that we needed copies of insurance and signed agreements from all vendors that were coming onsite. BTW, we met with our coordinator three weeks prior and she never mentioned this. Day of wedding was chaotic. They were running behind schedule. I just felt that I had to do too much of the coordination myself, while I was trying to enjoy my daughters day. At the end of the evening, someone from JAM staff went into the suite where the bridal party got ready and stuffed everything into a big bag, so I had to sort through that. Everyone we worked with from JAM in the planning phase was very nice and helpful. I honestly think they are just overcommitted. There are so many weddings this season and it must be difficult to get enough good staff. The sense I got was that everyone on their staff was tired. I did not like the way JAM handles tipping. They tell you it's optional, but then give you a list of all the staff along with suggested tipping amounts, and request that you give cash in envelopes. I understand tipping the servers and bartenders, but they suggest tips for the salaried staff as well, which amounts to another $3,000 on top of the $30K you have already paid. Come on JAM, just pay your people a decent wage and stop guilting your clients. On a positive note, the food was really delicious! read more

We just had our first call with Michelle our concierge, and we're so already so impressed with the level of professionalism and detail that JAM provides. Looking forward to continuing the planning process as we get closer to our wedding! read more

We are thrilled to be having our wedding at Cauffiel House, managed by JAM Catering. The venue's historic charm and natural beauty make it perfect for our outdoor ceremony and reception. The beautifully landscaped lawns and charming façade provide an enchanting backdrop for our big day. The property's original mid-20th century furnishings, bright sun porches, formal parlor, and elegant dining room offer a unique setting for cocktails or intimate celebrations. Veronica helped us tour both Bellevue and Cauffiel, but Cauffiel felt quainter and more intimate for our 100-person wedding, and we liked the all-inclusive packages which include food, drinks, and planning services with lots of options for upgrades for an additional fee. Our coordinator, Madeline, has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the planning process and we are looking forward to our fall wedding at Cauffiel. We've had a great experience with JAM Catering thus far. We attended both the group tasing and a private tasting which was exceptional, and we loved the rillettes of duck and brie en brioche appetizers. The Chicken Normandy was delicious and perfect for our fall wedding. The team has been attentive and responsive, making the planning process a breeze. Highly recommend Cauffiel House for anyone seeking a unique and picturesque wedding venue with planning and catering services provided in house. read more

Based on what this company is doing to couples who aren't able to have their weddings at this venu due to covid-19 I wouldn't book here if God himself came down to officiate my wedding. Jeffery Miller Catering is refusing to work with their clients to re book their wedding when the pandemic is over, and yet thinks they have the right to keep their money.. I guess they missed the business ethics course in college. read more

Mistakes happen, and we are understanding people, but the level mismanagement of our wedding day crossed a line that was completely unacceptable. Important to note: Our wedding planner was initially set to serve as our day-of coordinator, but after signing contracts, we were informed that someone else would handle this role. While we voiced concerns, we were assured that the coordinator had extensive experience with our venue and would be fully briefed on all details. When the bridesmaids and I arrived we expected the groom and groomsmen to already be in their suite, however no one was there to greet or assist them in getting to the room. This oversight led to my husband and I seeing each other the moment I arrived, ruining our first look. After waiting for 10 minutes, I had to call the coordinator myself to inform her that we were waiting to be taken to our suites. Our photographers, who were unfamiliar with the venue, were given no guidance whatsoever. The bridal party also received no direction and when they approached the coordinator for assistance, she dismissively told them, "You're supposed to coordinate with the photographers, not us." The bouquets were missing from the bridal suite and instead of addressing this properly, the coordinator blamed a groomsman, dragged the boxed flowers into the suite, and left me to unpack and distribute them. Despite prior discussions with the planner, the promised day-of rehearsal never occurred. When questioned, the coordinator claimed we had decided against it, though I have emails detailing our plans. Adding to the chaos, family portraits were delayed because staff refused to let family members in until 5:30, despise having confirmed 5:00 with the coordinator over email two days prior. As a result, we missed the entirety of our cocktail hour to make up the photos. For the ceremony, reserved first row seats weren't marked as requested. This forced family members to have to awkwardly ask guests to move. The coordinator began the processional without checking if I was ready. I was still in the bridal suite, trying to calm down from the mounting issues. My bridal party had to intervene. Guests wandered aimlessly until the bridal party stepped in to help direct them to the cocktail hour location. After rushing through our delayed family photos, my husband and I sat down for our "private moment" to eat some of our cold appetizers. It was then that the coordinator approached us to discuss an issue about the decor. This interruption was poorly timed and not remotely urgent compared to the other mishaps. The location for our first dance was changed without notifying the DJ, leaving the bridal party to redirect him. During dinner, a bridesmaid had to take on the task of turning on all the centerpiece lights and fixing improperly placed drapings. The card box was also forgotten, and I had to request a staff member to bring it to the correct location after several guests asked where to put their cards. The bridal party felt abandoned throughout the day. They described the coordinator as rude, unhelpful, and dismissive, often leaving them to resolve problems themselves. Their frustration was visible throughout the day. When we reached out about our experience, I mistakenly received an email from the owner intended for someone else. It implied that the coordinator wasn't trusted to handle her job properly. I have a screenshot of this but my review was disputed because of it. We were also told that we could have paid for an "enhanced package" for more coordination. So in going with the basic package, our wedding wasn't treated as a priority even though we were assured the day would be seamless. While we received small refunds, the lack of accountability and dismissive response left us feeling brushed aside and without proper closure. read more

Overall, very pleased with the variety of food and customization options that are provided by JAM Catering. We wanted to make sure we can have a variety of Indian and Asian cuisine options as we are having a multicultural wedding and were pleased to see they have many options for that. Although the General tasting did not have any of the Asian dishes available to try, we were able to arrange a private tasting to try all the Indian dishes we are hoping to incorporate into our menu the day of. Although some of the Asian style dishes were not as authentic as we hoped, the majority of dishes were delicious, especially the soup and salmon entrees we tried, and the tastings were a great help in letting us decide which dishes we want to have on our wedding day. We just had our private tasting and are now really excited for the big day! read more

My fiance and I have been delightfully impressed by JAM Catering at every step in our planning process. Most wedding caterers tout "fresh ingredients", but JAM truly delivers. Their food is farm-to-table and prepared directly at each wedding venue - so you can be sure that every appetizer, entree, and dessert (they have an in-house baking team), is the best quality. Their appetizer menu is also seasonal, which tells you a lot about their priorities to only serve the best food possible. What truly blew me away was the attention to detail the JAM team pays to station table displays. They understand the importance of presentation and deliver gorgeously displayed cuisine for every appetizer and entree option. Lastly, I was impressed by the ease with which they accommodate substitutes and allergy needs. We're dealing with a mix of dairy allergies, kosher and vegan requirements, and kid-friendly entrees, and the JAM team of professionals handle it all with ease. They also let us swap out the traditional wedding cake (which is included in your catering package) for a fun donut station at no extra charge! It's been truly a delight to work with their team. read more

We are getting married at Waterloo Village this summer. We just had our tasting with JAM and we absolutely LOVED everything!!!! There were so many choices and all of it was delicious! We highly recommend them and can't wait for our big day :) read more

JAM catering has been so responsive. Couldn't be happier with the services! Definitely recommend.

Some of the best food I've had in my life! Very excited to have my wedding here and share the delicious food with my friends and family!

We had to cancel 6 months in advance since we couldn't legally have our wedding due to COVID and they wouldn't refund a dime. They literally told us we had to sue to get any money back. Heartless people. Do not recommend. Also, their only other option was to reschedule for Jan-March 2021 weekdays ...so still paying for peak time of the year/day of the week for off peak time and day (thousands of dollars in difference). Just terrible. read more

My husband and I attended a wedding on August 4th at the Aldie Mansion in Doylestown, PA that was catered by Jeffrey Miller Catering. I have to admit that I never get excited about wedding food. Usually the consists of a buffet of overcooked fish, chicken and vegetables and everything tastes bland. (This is one of the many reasons my husband and I had our wedding reception at a restaurant.) I was blown away by how great the food was from Jeffrey Miller Catering! Trays of hot hor d'oeuvres were passed out to guests while the wedding party after the ceremony. My favorites were the bite-sized burger sliders and the chicken skewers... tasty and super cute! The dinner was fantastic. My steak was very tender and the vegetables were seasoned perfectly. Even the salad was fantastic! I'm not sure if the catering company made the wedding cake, but according to the guests I heard it was great. I'm not a fan of cake so I skipped trying it. Not only was the food from Jeffrey Miller Catering fantastic, but the staff was so friendly and attentive. I never had an empty water glass or dirty plate at my table. The staff did an excellent job at attending to all the guests needs. The bartender was friendly and was willing to make all of my husband's tedious drink orders. Even though the bar did not have triple sec my husband insisted on the bartender making him a bloody mary, long island ice tea and a grimlin. Most bartenders would have shooed my husband away or would have suggested a rum and coke, but the bartender tried his best to please my husband. Great service and great food! I highly recommend Jeffrey Miller Catering! read more

My fiancé and I just had the pleasure of a group tasting at Aldie Mansion today! The catering was one of the major selling points when picking our venue, especially knowing that our wedding at Bishop Farmstead would be farm to table and that they could accommodate food allergies! They were so thoughtful with every detail of the process, and the event staff even told me what items to avoid for cocktail hour since I have a lot of food allergies. The cocktail hour was phenomenal. It was so lovely to meet and chat with Jeffery during cocktail hour! The food portions during the sit down tasting of entrees and desserts were much bigger than expected and so fresh and good. It was hard to pick a favorite! Can't wait to plan our menus and for our big day! read more

JAM will not return our deposit for our daughter's wedding that we had to cancel due to Covid. I am in touch with other couples, and we are forming a group to fight back and demand our monies be returned. If you are interested email me at odonovan81862@gmail.com Thanks! Theresa read more

One of our favorite restaurants is a farm to table, so naturally when looking for a caterer we were looking for the same thing. With Jeffery A Miller, this is exactly what you are going to receive. This past weekend we had our food tasting and the food was incredible and so well prepared. I was able to cut through my rack of lamb with just my fork that is how tender the food was. Also, with the crazy time of COVID going on, JAM has been very responsive in all of our questions and made the process seamless when scheduling our "private" tasting. They have also communicated their standards for events during the pandemic before we even knew what to ask which has also put us at ease read more

I am having my wedding at one of Jeffrey Miller Catering's venues (John James Audubon Center). My fiance and I agreed that we didn't want the typical chicken, steak, or fish menu. After we saw JAM Catering's menu, we knew we wanted to choose one of their venues. Their food is all made from scratch and each item has a little twist to it. They are also willing to work with you to customize your menu to suite your tastes. This is a huge deal for me since I come from a family of picky eaters. JAM Catering just launched a "to go" part of their business, so you can try some of their delicious food before you commit to them as your caterer. The hard part is choosing between all of their menu items. Since JAM handles all of the details of our venue, they are our point of contact for all things wedding related. So far, everything has gone smoothly and stress free. I have mostly spoken with Shannon and Michelle. They are both fantastic to work with! I have enjoyed every step of the planning process. JAM supplies almost everything you need for your big day, even some decor items. You will need to purchase your own alcohol, but they offer some suggestions to help guide you. The venue we chose is currently under renovations (none will interfere with weddings), which are set to be completed next year. JAM Catering sends out renovation updates monthly, so their clients know what is going on at the location. I think this is a nice touch. I enjoy reading through the email, looking at pictures, and envisioning my wedding there. read more

Beautiful venue at Duke sculpture garden but unpleasant experience with people who ran it and we found ourselves wishing we had chosen another company. Our guests were reprimanded continually throughout ceremony and reception. Were quoted one price and at the end upcharged a lot more. Some of the food was cold and my family complained about it. Oh well. This is only in retrospect - I married the love of my life, but I wish the experience planning and executing the actual event had been more pleasant and less stressful. read more

I went to a wedding at the Anthony Wayne House a few years ago, catered by JAM catering. I was so impressed by the cocktails displayed on an antique dresser, and the delicious hors d'oevres. One that really stuck out to me for taste and presentation was the BBQ in a jar - it was creative and delicious! The entrees were amazing too, everyone had nothing but great things to say about them. Fast forward 5+ years later and my fiancé and I are getting married there this September, and we're so excited to have them cater our wedding! read more

My husband and I got married at the John James Audubon Center where Jeffrey A. Miller (JAM) is the exclusive caterer. We really had a fantastic experience with them. The wedding planning process is a ton of work, but our JAM contact Shannon really helped us with every detail pertaining to the schedule of events, types of food served, and decorations for the venue. It was obvious that she wanted us to have a flawless wedding and cared about doing her job well. We had a bit of a unique wedding. My husband is Indian, his whole family is vegetarian, and I wanted a traditional American marriage (my family is far from vegetarian). JAM worked extremely hard to learn how to make a specific, traditional Indian dish that we requested. Our formal tasting was a ton of fun -- we took my parents, came away extremely full and confident that the food at the wedding would come out well. They wowed us with some of the dishes! We were particularly happy with how receptive and open the JAM staff were about the food. At our tasting, the off-menu Indian dish was below our expectations, even though it was obvious that the staff (who had no prior experience in Indian cuisine) put in a lot of time and effort. We gave them feedback, and they were very eager to improve and perfect the recipe. They even called my mother-in-law to make sure the dish would live up to her expectations. At a follow-up tasting, the owner himself let us (and my mother-in-law) into the kitchen to try out the new recipe, and it really came out very well. We received so many compliments from our guests that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding! We had a stations-style dinner and chose the following entrees, which I will list with feedback from our guests: -Fresh pasta (with pesto sauce, alfredo sauce, or meat sauce): our guests said that they went back several times for more helpings because the pesto and alfredo, in particular, were so fantastic. The pasta was fresh and not overcooked. -Carved turkey: turkey was tender and juicy, really an accomplishment for a buffet. -Dosa (traditional Indian dish): this was the dish that we asked JAM to make especially for our wedding. We had several tastings, and each time the recipe improved. Both the dish and its accompaniments were excellent on the day of the wedding, and our Indian guests were very pleased that they were able to eat a dish representative of their culture. Also, if you choose Jeffrey Miller as your caterer, don't miss the coconut shrimp as one of the hors d'oeuvres. I'm fairly confident that we received a compliment from every guest that tried them. We also added a small expense by adding the ready-made donut station for dessert. They were amazing, and served in cute containers that our guests could take away to save for later. We had a few guests with severe food allergies. JAM went out of their way to prepare special dishes for these individuals, which really made them feel special, and like the bride and groom had paid extra attention to their needs. For any summer brides, the air conditioning in the bridal suite is a great perk. Nice to have a place to cool off if you are in a big dress! We also chose to spend the extra $100 to have an owl at the wedding, and that was a huge hit with our guests! One suggestion that I could make to JAM is that they give the itemized sheet of additional expenses to the couple before they sign the contract. These are all extremely minor costs that would not have influenced our decision to have our wedding at the Audubon Center, but we still would have liked to know them in advance (costs for any extra tables, add-ons for gourmet coffee bars, high chairs for very young children). All in all, these items probably amounted to $70 for our wedding, which is very minor and did not impact our opinion of JAM. read more

I can't stress how impressed I've been with the services this catering company provides. Our food tasting was amazing, they served fresh hors d'oeuvres that are in season and most popular dishes. We absolutely knew what we liked and what we prefer not to have. There was an abundance of hors d'oeuvres and all the popular cocktail hour stations provided amazing food. Our favorite was the BBQ in a Jar and the tomahawk steaks. They provided a few of their adult signature drinks, which were amazing. Fresh and beautifully displayed. Such a large event, but our wedding coordinator always made herself available to us and made sure to answer our questions. Very excited to work with her. read more

My wedding had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis. Jeffery Miller Catering told me that they would not be refunding any of the money I have paid thus far. (Over $10,000) This company does not help their clients, they only care about what they can gain. How they are handling this situation is shameful. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. read more

Recently went to an event at the American Swedish Museum. The drinks were not mixed properly, the food was cool/cold. They just didn't have it together. After reading other reviews, I was expecting a good meal. Sadly myself and everyone that I spoke to at the event were very disappointed in the food and drinks. After the event we went to a diner in Oregon avenue. Maybe they just had a bad night. Not sure, but would NEVER recommend them. read more

JAM Catering is the BEST! We just used them for my wonderful bridal shower. They offered a flexible JAM "by Hand-To-Go" menu. We had delicious sandwiches and salads that were perfect for a summer afternoon luncheon. They dropped everything off in prepared containers. We are really looking forward to the food at our wedding! read more

I got married at the Audubon at Mill Grove last October and Jeffrey Miller catered the event. While the venue was wonderful and the food was great, working with Jeffrey Miller was the most frustrating part of wedding preparation and I would certainly not do it again. The positive: - Food was fantastic, truely amazing. One of our guests had four hamburgers! - Event staff was very friendly and helpful. All of the servers were friendly and kind. The bartender was spunky and having a good time. The negative: I found it difficult to get straight answers and pricing from Jeffrey Miller and we were told incorrect information on several occasions. Jeffrey Miller was the exclusive caterer of our venue, so we didn't have the option to switch away from them. Here's what happened: - Our initial event coordinator mislead about the pricing options, which we had discussed on the phone before I booked the venue. After I booked, paid our deposit (3k), and sat down to discuss menus, It turned out that all of the prices within the range we discussed were for an "extended cocktail hour" which meant Jeffrey Miller would only provide seating for half of our guests. That was never mentioned on the phone. The new prices she offered were around $30 per person higher. - During our initial meeting, our event coordinator seemed to barely listen to us. We did not have a bridal party and my husband's parents were unable to attend the event. Those details were explained on the phone, over email and then in person. Throughout the two hour meeting she regularly referred to where the bridal party would sit or how they would enter. This was just annoying. She also kept her cell phone ring on full volume and allowed it to ring out several times. We had to yell over the sound. I left this meeting near tears because of the price changes and the frustration of working with the coordinator, who told us "no" on most of the options we requested (eg. Can we have burgers instead of steak?) - After that meeting, we were assigned a new event planner and things moved a little smoother. However, I had to email three people at Jeffrey Miller three different times to request a final cost estimate. When that came through, it included costs for items we had been told were free (coat rack, etc). I requested these be removed and they were. But the actual invoice that was sent by the billing department included them, so we ended up paying for them in the end - My husband's only request was to have hay bales on site for people to sit on (I really don't know why, but it was a casual event and he wanted a down home kinda feel). We brought this up to the party planner four months before the event, had it cleared and then purchased the hay bales. My husband arrived at the venue the day of our wedding and was told the hay bales were not allowed. Sad face. - Lastly, my aunt and my mom built a chuppah (jewish ceremony tent) for my cousin's wedding a few years ago. We used the same chuppah and gave Jeffrey Miller written instructions for it to be sent home with us. At closing time, we were unable to find the chuppah and assumed someone had put it in storage and we could come get it the next day. When I reached out to our event coordinator (she had left the venue an hour before closing), she discovered it had been thrown away. read more

I have been to many JAM venues and the food is always spectacular. They do a fantastic job making your special day amazing.

Do I have to give them a star? We got married in September 2012. We used JAM catering for our wedding since they were the exclusive caterer at Historic Waynesborough in Paoli. Not only was the service during the planning phase a total disaster, but the planner works part time and was rarely available to answer questions and sometimes took WEEKS to respond to emails--super frustrating when you are a bride-to-be, trying to plan a wedding. Not to mention the pricing was extremely unclear and when I asked for clarification, I had to SEND THEM my own spreadsheet to fill out since they weren't understanding that I wanted a line-item invoice so I could tell where costs and charges were coming from. The food was great-during our tasting (which, by the way, didn't "come with" our cocktail reception and they "did us a favor" and let us have a complimentary tasting after I made a stink) but the night of our wedding, there just wasn't enough of it, as promised, to our 200 guests. We had a cocktail / hor dourves reception and were promised plenty of food- but some guests never even saw the butlered apps. Also, as the bride, you would think that when I went to the bar, the bartender would A.) Know my drink and B.) Let me jump ahead of the other guests but it was as if I was invisible. Instead, I was ignored and a friend kept my glass full for me. On top of that, our specialty drinks were not put in the correct glassware and when I asked Lynn our planner why, she said they ran out of the correct glassware. Really? Why did you make us commit to a headcount and then run out of something? A bunch of other things also went wrong- it unfortunately poured rain during our cocktail hour and so our guests had cocktails in the carriage house. This would have been fine if the caterer did not randomly put tables inside. Also a huge puddle blocked the entrance to the tent, which was ignored until my mother requested it be cleaned up, to which she was told they would "throw down some towels". Really? What is this, gym class? It just seemed as if there was zero rain plan- this couldn't have been the first time it rained at one of their events and yet they were scrambling around as if it was. At the end of the night, one of my bridesmaids who had been running around all day with me and the rest of the wedding party was hungry and asked a server if she could have one of the leftover sandwiches- to which the server replied "no, we wrap those up and take them back to our kitchen". Not to mention the rest of the ghetto-looking, non clean-cut, shaven or neatly-dressed waitstaff. This was an absolute disaster of an evening, thankfully our band was awesome and our friends and family are amazing so we didn't have a bad time--- but---I wouldn't wish that kind of service on any couple!!! Horrible. The one thing they were on top of?---collecting payment. read more

Beware of Jeffrey Miller! I had my wedding there last year. The power went out and they did not have a generator. For a whole week , everyone knew the weather was going to be bad.
