Ashley and her entire team not only met but exceeded every expectation we had for them as the catering team for our wedding. From the very first call we had, Ashley demonstrated top notch organization, attention to detail, and understanding for what we wanted for our special day. She was incredibly attentive and responsive with any questions or concerns we had during the planning process. As the date came closer, Ashley's "Master Sheet" was an incredible tool to coordinate all the timelines with our various vendors and for us to refer back to from time to time as well. While Ashley was unable to be on site for our reception - Rina coordinated our day flawlessly from start to finish making sure nobody missed a beat. Now I can't believe it has taken me so far to get to this part, but the food was incredible. From our initial taste testing over a year before, we knew we knocked it out of the park. Cocktail Hour & Dinner were both divine, with multiple guests giving us unsolicited feedback that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the potatoes au gratin. They are one of the best things I've ever eaten, my only regret is that I wasn't hungrier. All in all, I'd recommend anyone hosting an event of any kind contact Ashley and Power Events - especially if it is a day you want to treasure forever. -Renee & Robert read more

Everything was absolutely perfect - Ashley is truly, truly the best person we could ever have had for my daughter's wedding. The food was exceptional - for both the cocktail hour and the wedding reception! (Along with a champagne warm-up at the ceremony site.) The food selections were delicious and well prepared, artistically presented, timed perfectly to arrive at the tables seamlessly, and her staff was wonderful. Dinner was exceptional - we had three selections for our guests and received sincere compliments for each! Don't even get me started on the dessert selections! Soooo good! But beyond the food, beyond the catering - Ashley is really a PLANNER, moving the event seamlessly throughout the afternoon and evening, offering suggestions gained through her vast experience, coordinating with our other vendors and coordinating with the venue. I can't even begin to describe how much we relied on her and trusted her! As a mom from way out-of-state, choosing Ashley was absolutely the best decision we could have made to make my daughter's wedding day one to remember! read more

We were so lucky to work with Ashley Power and the entire Power Events Catering team for our June 2021 wedding! They seamlessly made our event unique, special, beautiful, and delicious. The catering: We went with a cocktail style wedding menu for our wedding at Power Plant Productions, and so glad we did! This menu style was fresh and fun, featuring unique hors d'oeuvres, elevated passed small plates, and Philly-themed late night snacks. Our guests were raving about the delicious food for days after the event. The team: What would we do without Ashley Power? She helped us dream up the menu and event we dreamed of and was so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process, especially during Covid and multiple event reschedules and changes. During the event, Ashley and her team were absolutely standout! In addition to the fantastic catering and bar services, the Power Events team also did a fantastic job with event setup, layout, and decor. They made sure the venue looked perfect and were so attentive to details. Ashley also provided amazing day-of coordination, which was so valuable to us! Throughout the event, Ashley and her team made sure we had food and drinks at all times and made sure all aspects and details of the event went smoothly. A special shout out to Jerry here, who made sure the bride was never without a glass of wine! We honestly couldn't recommend Power Events Catering enough! read more

If you want to host a cocktail-style reception with absolutely delicious food and work with an amazingly organized and helpful team, look no further than Power Events. Ashley and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with, and we received so many compliments from our guests. Ashley was a true partner, not only providing menu advise but design advise as well. My husband and I hosted an approximately 80-person cocktail-style, make-up wedding reception at Hill-Physick House in Philadelphia in October 2021. Ashley and her team had never worked at the venue before, which you never would have known, as it was an absolute breeze with no hiccups whatsoever thanks to the highly professional staff Ashley employs. An expert in curating perfect cocktail parties, there is no better event-planning partner than Ashley. I couldn't recommend her services more. read more

Ashley and her team are a well-oiled machine. Not only do they provide amazing food, but they also provide amazing service. Every person on the staff, from start to finish, was awesome. My husband and I wanted for nothing all day, as we were waited on personally by Jere, who was the absolute BEST. I never felt so looked after! Every guest that I talked to after the wedding raved about the food and the staff, with many people saying it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. And seriously -- everything was delicious. We had to postpone twice due to the pandemic and Ashley was super flexible with changing our dates. She was also very encouraging along the way -- it was so nice to have someone like her on our side! Her team helped with setting up and breaking down our decor too. I really don't know how we would have handled our day without them and we were lucky to have Power Events as a vendor for our wedding. I'm already trying to figure out how we can have them cater for us again. read more

Ashley is AMAZING! We hired Power to cater our wedding this past April and I am so beyond grateful that we did; I truly believe Ashley and her team were an essential part of what made our wedding the best night of our lives. From the very beginning, Ashley was a total pleasure to work with--she's professional, incredibly easy to work with, detail-oriented, and SO talented. She handled our many emails and texts, our random, anxious questions, and endless group calls with me, my mom, and my planner with so much kindness, patience, and professionalism. In the days leading up to and on the day of our wedding, to say Ashley was efficient and on top of everything would be an understatement. From seating assignments, to the flow of dinner and the entire day, to the absolutely DELICIOUS family-style meal (many, many of our 150+ guests are still raving about it!), to SO much more behind the scenes I didn't see, Ashley and the whole Power team's ability to manage our 150+ wedding with grace, skill, and ease was so impressive. If you're looking for an incredible caterer for any occasion, seriously, look no further than Power Events! read more

From the moment we learned of Ashley's specialization in cocktail-style dining, we were sold on her and Power Events as our wedding caterer. Ashley set up a home tasting of menu items (many of them pre-selected by us) and floored us with the quality and variety of her food. Along the way, she was fantastic in adjusting the menu to our exact preferences, even accommodating very specific menu items. As a full-service caterer, Ashley helped a great deal with linens, designs, and general coordination with our venue. On the day of our wedding, Ashley and her team were on point and incredibly professional. Bartenders were keeping the drinks flowing, and the wait staff made sure everyone got a chance to taste the extensive menu. The staff also made sure we kept ourselves fed! It was beyond all of our expectations. Since our wedding, we have received so many compliments about the food. People were so impressed at the quality and quantity (given cocktail style). Even our "foodie" friends were amazed that they ate so well at a wedding! We would recommend Power Events for any catering needs. They made our wedding day extra special. read more

Ashley and her team did an incredible job with our wedding! We met Ashley back in 2019 and after two postponements, we finally got married in 2022. In the years in between, she was an excellent communicator and was very adaptable to any and all changes we had to make. It very much felt like Ashley and her team had our back the whole day and were committed to not only serving incredible food, but also giving us as stress-free a wedding day as possible. Ashley had another wedding that same day and managed to be there right before we walked down the aisle (and got some great photos and video!) and then came BACK to our wedding to enjoy the dancing and check in later on in the night. We had a designated server, Kat, who always made sure that we had a drink in our hand and food on our plate, even when we were on the dance floor. I must have asked for 15 glasses of water and they made sure I was hydrated and happy the whole time! The servers were truly wonderful and we felt lucky to have them there, along with our guests! And that's not even mentioning the quality of the food! All of our guests commented on how great the food was and even though we did a tapas-style event, no one was even remotely hungry. The food just kept coming! There was so much variety and we highly recommend tapas-style for couples looking for more mingling and less stagnation. Any couple, or anyone planning any type of event, would be so lucky to have Ashley and her team as one of their vendors. Ashley is a gem, a true professional, and she made us feel safe and secure about one of the most important parts of our big day, the food! read more

Post-wedding update! Ashley (chef & owner), Asia (our event coordinator), and the rest of the Power Catering Events crew were absolutely fabulous for our October 2014 wedding! We had an intimate ~60 person wedding, and the day after our wedding all our friends and family were still raving about the delicious food and the friendly service they received from Ashley's overly-accommodating team. Ashley put up with me through countless emails (easily 75+), an in-home tasting, and two site walk-thrus before my wedding. She is approachable, knowledgeable, confident, and professional. Power Catering Events' multitasking team handled last minute allergy notifications, vegetarian, and vegan dietary restriction requests with ease. Working within our budget,* Ashley created a personalized selection of tapas that represents our multicultural family. We had an Italian dish for my mother, a Venezuelan dish for my husband, and a Korean dish for me. Somehow Ashley and her team of chefs were able to replicate authentic flavors while ensuring none of the dishes clashed with one another. In addition to creating phenomenal food, the front-of-house team from Power Catering Events went above and beyond to make our wedding a memorable event for all of our family and friends. Asia, our event coordinator, served as a day-of wedding planner. She had my day-of gantt chart (it was color coordinated if you must know) memorized and paced our event from ceremony processional to reception cake cutting. Asia was also able to read my mind -- making sure my husband and I always had a drink in hand during the cocktail hour, bringing me a large dish of vegetarian hors d'oeuvres just as I started to look around the room for a server, and keeping our tapas warm while we walked around our reception greeting our guests. Power Catering Events played a critical role in our wedding, and my husband and I will forever remember Ashley and her outstanding team. We look forward to working with Ashley on future special occasion events. *Special note on budget: Power Catering Events allows you to purchase & bring your own liquor while they supply all non-alcoholic mixers and garnishes. Talk about saving some $$! read more

I would only leave Power Catering a 5 star review. We had them do our wedding and it's one of the best decisions we could have made for that day. She took such care of me, as well as my guests. I was absolutely blown away by her calm presence and her ability to problem solve when curve balls were thrown at her. The food and presentation was fantastic. I have never thrown an event that was more complimentary of the food and staff. The presentation was artsy and unique. She's one of the integral reasons why our guests had a memorable time. Our guests raved about everything from the apps to the desserts. Days after the event, I'm still getting comments about the quality and the presentation. My guests even had favorite staff (specifically Angel, Sara and Mr. J). Everyone from Power Catering was a hit! read more

What can I say? We were given one of those rare weddings where everything was perfect. It only happened through Ashley's careful planning and understanding of our vision. None of us remember the boiled chicken or soggy whitefish from our childhood weddings (okay, maybe a little ) but your guests will forever remember and rave about Ashley's food the way our guests did. We wanted our menu to reflect seasonal choices, our respect for food, and our appreciation of the culinary craft. Ashley was there from our first tasting to guide us through our choices and convey what the experience would be the day of our wedding. My sibling owned a French bistro, has been involved in many catering events, and my family has been small business owners their whole lives. The coordination and planning involved in delivering this experience was not lost on us. Our expectations were exceeded. The staff was friendly, and through the busy night we saw them anticipate the needs of our guests and execute perfect timing and delivery. The food was served family-style, and everything arrived staggered and hot. Our guests loved the opportunity to try everything. More than once we were told, "We can tell you guys love food, because this menu is so good!" And there it is: if you are looking for a wedding experience that reflects your sensibilities, Power Events is what you want. The food was only one factor in what Power Events delivered. The decor was neat, uniform, and elegant. Coordination between our day-of planner, venue staff, and other vendors was timely and well organized. We look forward to sharing our experience with others who are in need of event planning! read more

I've had the fortune of working with Ashely and team at Power Events for a few celebrations and THEY ARE WONDERFUL. From my parents' surprise anniversary (75) to my husband and my joint birthday (75) to an intimate dinner party for 10 - Power Events delivered. The food was phenomenal - my guests always rave about it after! The food options are expansive which has allowed us to curate the most amazing menus that suit adventurous to picky palettes. The prep and onsite teams are professional and engaging - a fun group to work with! I can't recommend Power Events enough - I know I'll continue to use them for future celebrations big and small!! read more

There's one word I will ever use to describe Ashley Power and her company: BEST. As in: The BEST food. The BEST service. The BEST decision we made during our entire wedding. Ashley is a true professional. Not only does she pull together unbelievable food, with some of the best selections at very fair and reasonable prices, but she was completely dedicated to making sure our wedding went perfectly and that we didn't have to worry about a thing. Throughout the planning process, Ashley was direct, candid, responsible, friendly and super smart - she was always looking for ways to save us a buck, or ways to make our wedding that little bit better through every minor detail. And unsurprisingly, we learned on the night of our wedding that EVERYONE who works for Ashley is just as lovely as she is. We got rave reviews for our food at our wedding, and everyone was wow'ed by how wonderful of an event Ashley had helped us pull together. The only thing I regret is that we don't have another wedding to work with her on! Worth every penny. Forget about any other caterers you are looking at and just use Ashley! read more

Incredibly unprofessional staff. Were very stressful to work with, wouldn't answer direct questions and seemed to resent being asked questions at all. We moved on to another caterer who was so much more pleasant, not rude and very communicative. Would not recommend this business. read more

Ashley Power of Power Catering events is a true professional. She recently catered a "heavy hors d'ouvres" reception for about 50 people at my cousin's home. The food was delicious and elegantly presented. The lamb chops with pesto and duck 'n onion crepe were highlights. Standards like shrimp shumai and asparagus tempura disappeared along with delectable mini-mugs of home-made creamy tomato soup served with grilled cheese triangles. Her staff of server and bar tenders were on point in both serving and clearing. The blueberry-mint lemonade was refreshing and perfect for the event. (The open bar was also great.) Stationary displays of fruit were as beautiful to look at as they were tasty to eat. For dessert? Butlered mini desserts like freshly torched creme brulee and petit lemon tartes. I am considering hiring her for my own events and would urge yelpers to do the same! She does Philly area, suburbs and South Jersey. Love Power Catering! read more

If you're reading this, you're looking for a caterer. Call Ashley Power. Immediately. There is no one better. Ashley catered my wedding at one of the boathouses on Boathouse Row. She was responsive, professional, and just all around fantastic from start to finish. We got proposals from a number of caterers, and Ashley was the only one who didn't nickel-and-dime us. She considered everything we wanted and gave us an honest, comprehensive, and reasonable estimate. She also had a ton of creative ideas for our event, and great recommendations for other vendors. We went with the photographer and music options she suggested, and were thrilled with both. She was enormously patient and accommodating throughout. Our boathouse venue, while beautiful, was not easy to work with, and Ashley went totally out of her way and picked up the slack -- she simply made everything work. Any concern we had or request we made, her response was always, "It's taken care of, don't worry about it!" And the food! Did I mention the food?! We planned our wedding on short notice, so we did not have time to do a tasting. But Ashley inspired such confidence, and her menus were so beautiful, tasteful and varied, that we weren't worried. The food ended up being spectacular. Our guests raved about it for days after the event. Our venue did not have a kitchen, and she and her staff built one from scratch on the balcony. I wowed our guests with this fact all night ... the food was so good and so beautifully presented and served, no one could believe it was prepared outside of a kitchen. I could not recommend Ashley highly enough! I want to plan another party just to have a chance to work with her again (and a second helping of her short rib!). read more

We were so lucky to find Ashley to cater our wedding! My husband is a strict vegan and I am a lover of all food including meat and dairy. As soon as we began planning our wedding we knew we wanted a mixed menu of both vegan and non-vegan fare. After a few disappointing meetings with caterers who presented boring, run of the mill menus or insisted that it would be easier to just have a complete non-vegan wedding with just a separate meal for my husband (really? it's his wedding!) we got a recommendation from a friend for Ashley. From my first communication with her I felt at ease, she totally understood what we wanted and was eager to help us. We were able to put together an amazing tapas menu that was 75% vegan and 100% delicious! She is extremely professional, I emailed her probably a dozen times leading up to the event and she always responded quickly (within 24 hours). Ashley is so confident and prepared she is exactly what any bride needs, I really don't think our wedding would've been the same without her. We had an outdoor wedding in a very unique space (The Magic Gardens) and she had some great ideas on how to make the space work for us. The day of the event was amazing, the food was beautiful and delicious and so many guests commented on how friendly the staff was! I can't recommend Ashley enough, if you are considering hiring her for your event do yourself a favor and hire her immediately! read more

Power Catering was recommended by our wedding venue, and we just kind of went with it, which was probably the best decision we made when planning our wedding. First things first, Ashley was extremely knowledgable, helpful and friendly throughout the entire planning process. She was always available, flexible and happy to answer our questions and provide recommendations. The tasting was prepared in our home (!!) where we basically hung out while she worked in the kitchen. We tasted everything that she planned to serve, plus a bunch of options that she wanted us to choose from. We had a couple of tweaks to the menu which she was more than happy to accommodate. We decided to do homemade desserts, so a bunch of family members baked cookies and treats and we dropped them off in tupperware to the venue. We weren't sure what to expect as far as presentation, but we were totally impressed - she had set up a long table with all of the desserts laid out on blocks (so there were levels and depth to the display), and had put some beautiful decor around it. You would not have believed it was all homemade. Ashley also casually mentioned that our package included a cheese table - again we were shocked at how amazing and beautiful it turned out! There were cheeses, fruits, meats, spreads and a bunch of different crackers and breads. It was perfect. And then there is the food! Everything was delicious, and people have since told me how amazing it was, how there was plenty of food (this seemed to be a worry when I told everyone that we weren't serving a seated meal). Some people even mentioned trying to recreate some of the hors d'oeuvres at home. Finally, the service. This was truly outstanding. Ashley provided a staff member to help oversee on the day of, and she was one of the highlights of the experience. She was always quick to offer a glass of water (or champagne), escort us somewhere private when guests began arriving (early!), and make sure that we were happy, comfortable and had everything we needed. She also made sure that all of the guests knew where to go and what to do, so we didn't need to worry about that. The other members of the staff also looked out for us all night - ducking out from behind the bar to make sure our drinks were full and that we were taken care of. I really cannot say enough great things about Ashley and Power Catering. They are a huge reason that our day went so perfectly. If I ever have a good reason to throw a cocktail party (and a budget to go with it), I will 100% jump at the chance to hire them again. tl;dr Power is amazing - incredible service, delicious food, tons of knowledge and happy to be flexible and work with you. They just get it! read more

Ashley's service and food was PHENOMENAL. Every step of the way, from November when we chose her hands down over at least 30 other caterers that we contacted, to the big day, she was quick to respond, had amazing suggestions for our menu and our wedding in general, and worked within our budget. Not only was the preparation and planning spectacular, but when they big day arrived, everything was delicious. I told myself that I was going to eat my wedding food on my wedding day no matter what anyone said, and I'm so glad that I did. We did a summer kabobs menu complete with the best shrimp I ever had, sweet and scrumptious corn risotto, juicy chicken, and all the fixin's. I'm also incredibly thankful that they were able to make such a spectacular desert: a tiered strawberry shortcake. The only thing that I didn't get to eat (photos needed to be taken!) was the amazing passed hor d'oeuvres and cheese display. Boy, it sure did look good. And I was told (when I attempted to live vicariously through those who did get to enjoy it) that it was spectacular. Her staff were also so helpful and sweet. James, the event manager, did a flawless job ironing out all the kinks: from ensuring that guests found their seats to making sure that everything was on schedule. On top of that, the whole team worked with my day of planner (Kate Herron: also AMAZING) to ensure that all the decor looked perfect. Ashley also coordinated all of our rentals: from the perfect silverware to a beautiful tent. Seriously guys: I can't sing her praises enough. Call her: best caterer in the area, by far. read more

Ashley and her team made our wedding absolutely perfect! From the start Ashley was super easy to talk to and get in touch with, she met us at our non-traditional wedding site and helped us figure out how to put it all together. Ashley understood exactly what we were going for! She gave great suggestions for table set up, bars, lighting etc. Ashley's team served appetizers and manned the bars and we had food trucks for the dinner. Ashley was enthusiastic and willing to work with the unusual set up of the venue and was excited to do an additional bar on the Playgound (far from the mansion) For the tasting, Ashley came out to our house and whipped up tons of food for us and our family in minutes and in the midst of a winter ice storm! Ashley made us feel calm and confident that we did not have to worry about a thing with her in charge! Leading up to the reception Ashley was consistently in touch asking if we needed anything or had questions. Day of, the team was fabulous! The food was amazing, the staff could not have been friendlier, the event coordinator James kindly helped us keep to our timeframe. The tables and bar set ups were better than we could have imagined. We even had a whole plate of appetizers saved for us to eat when we sat down in case we missed something when they were being passed. If any problems arose during the evening we didn't know about it, which was great! Everything ran perfectly, we could not have asked for a better evening! If you are looking for a caterer for your event, choose Power Catering, they are simply the best! read more

Ashley was absolutely a joy to work with. Her food is amazing, her personality is bright, she has wonderful energy, and she surrounds herself with stellar staff. In addition to her wonderful cooking, Ashley is extremely flexible with brides, she really will go above and beyond to make sure you feel supported from the start. I was planning my wedding in Philly living from Providence. So she worked with my venue (Power Plant Productions) to set up a complete menu tasting and walk-through for myself, my fiance, and my mom. It was so reassuring to get to pick our menu ourselves, and taste what the entire evening would be like before it happened. She was so accommodating and offered to change anything we'd like, but we had no changes! She also set up a timeline and coordinated everything like a pro. Then, COVID-19 really threw a wrench in our wedding plans. Ashley was similarly flexible and positive. She worked to scale down our 150-person cocktail style/tapas wedding to a 23-person sit-down dinner micro-wedding (with a more traditional cocktail hour). We absolutely loved the food, and also my family could not stop commenting on how much they loved her staff and the service. Please consider her for your event, and make sure you go heavy on the cocktail hour foods - Ashley is truly talented at curating an awesome tapas/cocktail-style event. All in all, Ashley made our wedding day less stressful, more fun, and safe. We're so happy we chose to work with her! read more

Ashley and her team are AMAZING! Not only is her food to die for, I don't think I would have made it through the last few months leading up to our 2020 wedding is she wasn't there to talk me off the ledge. We attempted to hold out with our original guest count of 120 as long as possible and then in August we were faced with the decision to postpone, relocate, or re-route to a micro-wedding and Ashley was there with options and advise every step of the way. We might be biased, but it was the most special, intimate wedding I've ever been a part of. Everyone who attended have not stopped talking about how amazing the food was and how much fun the staff were throughout the whole event. We cannot wait to plan another event with Ashley. The only regret is not asking for a goody bag to take home and enjoy again. read more

FANTASTIC!!! I cannot say enough about Power Events Catering Ashley and her team recently helped us host cocktails and tapas dinner for about 30 friends at our home -- and they positively outdid themselves! Everything -- every single scrumptious bite -- was delicious, beautifully presented and graciously served. Ashley's considerable expertise, professionalism, attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm made our party planning and execution a true pleasure. From the menu selections to helping organize the timeline to the prep and cleanup, she thoughtfully considered and expertly managed every detail. I knew from the very start that we were in wonderful hands. How nice to be able to enjoy our guests! Ashley and her team servedup a wonderful evening. It was a pleasure working with them and welcoming them to our home. I enthusiastically recommend Power Events Catering and look forward to calling upon Ashley again soon. read more

Ashley is fantastic! She catered our wedding reception and did a great job! Right from the beginning she was easy to get a hold of, worked with us to make everything the way we wanted, didn't waste any of our time, and helped problem solve all the changes we made throughout. Everything looked great, and her prices were just as good. We highly recommend her! read more

I never write Yelp reviews but I am writing a review for Ashley because she is so great! I used Power Events for a very complicated "potato pizza grilling seminar" event for 50+ food bloggers at a Philadelphia hotel. She was so prepared, so helpful and so on top of it. She made my job so much easier and I could not have done it without her!! I highly recommend!! read more

We could not have chosen a better catering company for our intimate wedding reception of 17 guests. During the planning Ashley was very responsive to our e-mails and our many requests and specifications. We have very strict diets and she did research to make sure we could eat from the menu. All the food was absolutely delicious and gorgeously presented. The Power Catering staff decorated our apartment beautifully and was very professional and responsive to anyone who made a request and they cleaned up so nicely at the end. I would recommend the following menu items: the short ribs with aged cheddar, mini crab cakes, agnolotti with brown butter and sage, seared scallops, and pan seared salmon. read more

Ashley catered our 106-guest wedding at Awbury Arboretum and everything was absolutely perfect. When we met her in person, we knew immediately that she was absolutely above-and-beyond. She came to our apartment in a snowstorm to do our tasting and seemed to materialize a four course meal from thin air while we hung out and watched TV. Her work for our wedding was just as magical - we had multiple guests come up to us and tell us that it was the best food they'd ever had at an event. We agree! The food was delicious and fresh and the displays were absolutely stunning. Ashley was professional and responsive throughout the whole planning process, and helpful with every detail from tent-rental to each passed appetizer. We couldn't be happier with Ashley and her whole amazing team - they're the real deal! read more

Power Events catered my wedding in 2009 and it was wonderful! With out going into too much detail, there was a venue change the day of my wedding, but that didn't stop the Power Events staff, everything was moved I time and they even crated specialty drinks we were afraid it wasn't allowed. Our family and friends still talk about the food and how wonderful the chicken dinner was! I'm using Power Events now for our babies Christening luncheon! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Ashley and Power Events Catering. Ashley was helpful from start to finish in planning our wedding. The day would not have happened without her. She developed the perfect fall menu for our cocktail/tapas-style wedding with AMAZING hors d'ouvres and passed tapas. She made the wedding food perfectly us and was able to change any of the dishes to our request. She even made our (pretty complex) signature cocktails perfectly ahead of time to eliminate any wait at the bar at the actual wedding. My one worry going into the event was that since we didn't do a sit down dinner, people wouldn't get enough food. But everyone at the wedding commented on how incredible the food was and how full they were at the end. Her servers and staff were incredible - making sure that everyone at the wedding (including myself and my husband) were eating and getting everything we needed. In addition to amazing food, Ashley goes above and beyond. She helped me pick out the décor for tables, provided linens, and even offered to go to Target for us to get things for our bathroom baskets! She also provided our day-of coordinator (Victoria) who was incredible! I would recommend Ashley and Power Catering to anyone who is getting married in the Philly area. She is talented, caring, and clearly LOVES weddings. I cannot say enough good things about her!! Thank you, Ashley and team! read more

Ashley and her team did a fantastic job for a corporate event I hosted. The planning process and day of were seamless. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was out of this world! read more

Absolutely perfect. Ashley catered the social event for an academic meeting I chaired. The food was divine, my favorite being watermelon with black sea salt for dipping. Every dish had the perfect blend of flavors. Her staff were impeccable in their interactions: perfect timing, gracious, they were a pleasure to be around. Ashley took charge of the event early on, making my life a thousand times easier. She was responsive, on top of things, and a pleasure to deal with. You would be wise to use her for your next catering event! read more

Power Events catered our cocktail style wedding reception a few weeks ago. Ashley was recommended to us by our venue because she had a lot of experience with this style of reception. Even when we initially met her, she easily walked us through a timeline of the day, and whenever I had questions about the logistics of the service she was very reassuring and helpful. Planning a wedding was much more stressful than I ever imagined, and her positive energy was much appreciated throughout the process. The day of our wedding, I got countless compliments about the food from the guests, and the presentation of everything was absolutely beautiful. Ashley even worked with our florist to incorporate his decor with the cheese and dessert tables. All of the servers were incredibly attentive. The woman supervising our reception, Victoria, was amazing as well. We had a view hiccups with our DJ and band's schedule, and she easily worked with everyone to make sure everything went seamlessly. She was also sure that I always had a drink! I really couldn't have been happier with the work of Power Events, and heartily recommend them to anyone. read more

Ashley has been AMAZING to work with, beginning to end. Not only is she completely reachable and responsive (always called or e-mailed back within 24 hours) but her food is outstanding. We planned a small, outdoor wedding, and had some very specific ideas. (no sit-down... but passed tapas, and lots of them... plus passed desserts) Ashley listened carefully and worked with us to stay within our budget, and to create something true to our vision. She made suggestions that were really helpful that we would never have thought to ask for. The food itself is not what people think of as "wedding food" but actually prepared to perfection with flavor that will leave you wanting more of whatever you just ate. All of the ingredients are fresh, and the combinations of flavor that she suggests are exceptional. Our joke has been that we need her to come live with us so she can cook for us every day. After the wedding we have continued to hear how amazing the food was from all of our guests. Compliments have also been received on the friendliness and professionalism of her staff. All in all, we are simply blown away by her work. Anyone planning an event, large or small, would be fortunate to work with Power Events Catering. Her professionalism, creativity, and delicious flavor set her apart from her competition. read more

Ashley catered my wedding reception last month, and the entire event ran flawlessly. The last thing you want to do is worry about anything on your wedding day, and Ashley made sure everything was taken care of. Our reception was a sit-down dinner for 130 guests and it was held in a large tent, so Ashley and her staff functioned out of a cook tent. I was amazed at how you never heard any banging or yelling from their tent as you do in restaurant kitchens. Also, our generator went down after dinner and Ashley professionally let me know she was aware of it and a new one was already on its way. I didn't even notice when it arrived and it seemed like the "problem" was taken care of in seconds. I received so many compliments on not only the food, but her staff, who were all extremely friendly, courteous and efficient. I would highly recommend Ashley. read more

I have worked with Power Events Catering on two separate work functions at my job. Both times Ashley and her team have left me speechless with their professionalism, set up and of course the food! If you are looking for a catering company in the Philadelphia or Greater Philadelphia area, look no further. Ashley takes the stress out of any event planning and leaves her mark with a stunning cocktail reception. I will definitely be using her in the future for anytime I need catering for work or personal events! read more

I have now had the opportunity to work with Ashley for a few different events and have never been disappointed! My mother in law has had them do a few holiday dinners for the family and most recently we "gifted" a catered dinner to my parents in their home. My parents can not say enough positive things about the experience! It was a pleasure dealing with Ashley from the planning all the way through the event. We would highly recommend and definitely plan on using them again in the future! read more

Hands down the most amazing wedding caterer you could ask for. Ashley was amazing and accommodated everything we asked for and even the things we would have never thought of. Her and her staff were constantly aware of everything in the entire event, and were constantly making adjustments accordingly. Bottom line... she's the best, her staff is the best, and above all her food is the best. Our wedding was almost two months ago and all I hear from our guests is how amazing the food was. So much so, that my wife and I have already talked about hiring Ashley to do our next party (whenever that is haha) and even joked that we would reach out to see if she could remake our menu for us again for a special occasion. That's another thing, it's extremely difficult to eat at your own wedding with everything going on, but Ashley and her staff took extra care to make sure we always had enough to eat. It seemed as though one of the server's main job was to just find us and bring us food haha. End of the day, Power Events is the only option you consider. End of story. Stop lookin elsewhere, it won't be as good... FACT! read more

Power Catering Events catered and coordinated our outdoor wedding of close to 200 guests, and I can't say enough about how wonderful Ashley and her staff are. All through the planning process, Ashley was flexible and organized, and really helped create our dream wedding reception in a somewhat challenging location. When we arrived, everything looked stunning, and her staff was exceptional. Our guests can't stop talking about how delicious the food was, and how great the service was. Ashley and her staff were friendly and professional, and handled all requests efficiently and graciously. Ashley handles unpredicted problems better than anybody I've ever met or worked with. Between hurricanes, last minute flooding that destroyed our food, an intoxicated guest taking out a bar's worth of glassware, it would be understandable if things were less than perfect for our party. But Ashley solved everything quickly and with apparent ease. She called some friends and worked OVERNIGHT to re-do our food, and was still energetic and completely together during set-up and our event. None of our guests were aware of any of it, and we didn't even have time to stress since she resolved things before we found out! Power Catering Events is not just a catering company. They will help you create stunning visuals and a truly beautiful event. I'm now trying to think of the next event we can have, just to be able to use them again. Thank you, Ashley! read more

I hired Ashley to provide some catered hors d'oeuvres, arrange for some rented items (tables, chairs, linens, etc.), and provide serving/clean-up help during our family Thanksgiving dinner this past week. She is nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for a caterer, look no further! I have had several experiences with caterers in my professional career for large-scale events, but never for a smaller, family, in-home holiday. I was a little unsure of having a caterer in my home for such an event but due to various circumstances, I needed the help and got lucky to find Ashley available. First of all, Ashley is a very sweet, articulate, extremely efficient professional who walks in the door with a sense of purpose and confidence. She asked me to show her what I had set up at that point and a little around the kitchen. In less than 4 minutes she said "ok, got it" and politely took over my kitchen. With a sense of relief and shear joy that someone competent was there to help, I walked out of my kitchen for the remainder of the afternoon/evening. I don't think anyone got two steps closer to the kitchen with an empty glass or a dirty dish in their hands without Ashley instantly appearing, taking the item and disappearing as quickly back into the kitchen. She was very careful to not let anyone "help" do her job. Ashley was friendly to all of our guests but never lost focus on what she was there to do. I was a little worried about having a stranger in our home to help on a holiday, but she is very likable and has a way of immediately making people comfortable. I asked Ashley to provide several appetizers. All were mouth-watering and she arranged everything in a very appealing manner on my dining room table. The food was so good no one wanted to be too far away from it and hung around the dining room for quite a while. After we had all finished our dinner, I thought I had better help Ashley in the kitchen just for a few minutes. After all, she was no doubt up to her elbows in dirty dishes, glasses and baking pans like I am when the dinner is over, right? Wrong. I walked in shocked to see my kitchen practically spotless and everything stacked neatly where I had suggested. I don't know how this beautiful, delightful professional does it! She makes it all seem effortless. My dinner was small but there is no question that Ashley is extremely capable with any size event you may have. She is responsive, organized, quick-thinking, creative, and very service-oriented. On top of all that her food is "to die for". Ashley will be my "go to" caterer going forward. I can't wait to work with her again! read more

Trust me - it doesn't get any better. I planned a small retirement party for one of my staff. The event was held in Philly although I live in Los Angeles. Ashley was so east to work with. Incredibly responsive (she responded to my initial email the first day), easy to communicate with either by phone or email, and incredibly helpful when it came to planning a menu and making sure we had the necessary dishes, glasses, etc. I consider myself a foodie and did pretty well with the menu but Ashely did make one suggestion to switch out a dish and the replacement she suggested (wild mushroom arancini) was my favorite dish of the night. Food was beautifully presented, Ashley and James were fabulous on site and, most importantly, everything was DELICIOUS. Please, don't look any further - this is who you are looking for. My only complaint? I don't live in Philadelphia. So I won't be able to work with Ashely as often as I'd like to !! read more
