RAVES & REVIEWS

Spring Wedding April 2011

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jenn Mikos from Wolfgang Puck Catering (formerly Restaurant Associates) as the exclusive caterer to the Penn Museum. Jenn was incredibly flexible and creative and the food was absolutely amazing. Jenn and her staff did an incredible job of ensuring my husband and I had a chance to have a glass of champagne and taste the hors d'oeuvres prior to joining our guests for the cocktail hour, and ensured our glass was always full. did I mention how great the food was? DELICOUS! and the room for dinner literally took my breath away with how stunning it was. Jenn worked hand in hand with our florist (Nature's Gallery) to design the most beautiful tables for our guests. we can't thank Jenn enough!
