Beautiful, affordable, family run, all inclusive venue. They have many event rooms to choose from and the food was delicious, from cocktail hour to cake and dessert. They answered all of our questions and coordinated everything. I couldn't recommend them enough.

If you're searching for an unforgettable experience for your special day, look no further than the Presidential Caterer and venue. From the moment we stepped foot into this exquisite space, we were blown away by the unparalleled hospitality and warmth exuded by the entire family.
The owners, Gus Sr. and Meredith have truly created a haven that surpasses all expectations. Gus Sr.'s witty and affectionate nature made us feel like part of the family from the get-go, ensuring that every penny spent felt entirely worthwhile. Meredith's attention to detail and genuine kindness made us feel like royalty, providing a level of service that went above and beyond.
And let's not forget about the culinary masterpieces crafted by Executive Chef Gus Jr. Every dish that graced our tables was a testament to his skill and passion for his craft. Our guests are still raving about the delectable flavors and impeccable presentation. Chef Gus Jr. not only delivers on taste but also accommodates any dietary preferences or requests with grace and precision.
Jennifer, the bakery chef, deserves a special mention for her dedication to perfection. She took even the smallest details to heart, ensuring that every bite of cake was not only delicious but also a work of art.
But what truly sets this establishment apart is the unmistakable sense of family that permeates every aspect of their service. The genuine care and camaraderie among the staff create an atmosphere that feels like home.
In short, if you're in search of a wedding experience that exceeds all expectations, look no further than the Presidential Caterer and venue. This family is the epitome of perfection, and they will stop at nothing to make your dreams come true.

Had my wedding reception her June 29th 2019. Everything was run smoothly and perfect. It rained, and they didn't hesitate to last minute use their indoor parlor to let us get pictures done. Guests told me the food was amazing, they kept raving about the salmon. Staff was phenomenal. A great affordable party for us on the best day ever! Thanks Gus and team!! Gus is very knowledgeable in the wedding industry and was very helpful and trustworthy. He worked great with the rental company I hired to do our decor. We rented the Roosevelt room which was so nice and lots of space for our 120 guests or so. Buffet was delicious. Cake was delicious and included in package! We did butter cream with vanilla and cream cheese filling. soooo good. Just be advised that they are a bit strict with certain decor and ideas - they will not put their facility in danger of any damage whatsoever. So nothing can hang from ceiling, no candelabras lit (unless enclosed by glass), no sports-related activities allowed inside.

Presidential was the absolutely perfect place to get married! My husband and I loved the fact that it was a family business, and you could tell the family wanted to make our day special, which they did! Everything went very smoothly. Gus was always available via phone call or email to answer all my random questions! Everyone loved all the food, we got compliments on all aspects from the appetizers to main course to the dessert bar! The cake was also very delicious!

We loved the venue and staff upon our 1st visit. We emailed the Maitre'd a few times with no reply regarding questions, so we emailed the owner and made 2 calls to get a response. About a month before the wedding again my wife emailed the Maitre'd to discuss the food since we haven't heard from them. We were under the impression we would have a tasting but they don't do separate tastings you have to come to a group one & pay $35 a person. We misunderstood but the attitude that came from Meredith the Maitre'd was uncalled for! She spoke to my wife as if she was an idiot! For the rehearsal again just very short & rude. She toured the room with me while my wife was downstairs even though I said can we please discuss this with her & then rushed through the rehearsal and left when we still had questions. The day of the wedding it was even worse. She was yelling & kept disappearing. At one point she looked at me and my wife while doing pictures and said " are you going to keep taking pictures or go enjoy your cocktail hour" I'm not sure why she thinks its professional to speak to clients in this manner. Our one table was wrong & I personally asked her to get the 2 chairs that were missing she never came back so after 15 minutes of my boss standing I went & located 2 chairs myself. Even her staff was complaining. She was rude to our vendors & guests. She seemed like she wanted nothing to do with our wedding! My wife hid herself when the guests showed up because we didn't know where to go and yet again where is Meredith. After the ceremony she took my wife's picture of her deceased mother and put it face down on a random table when we had a whole memory table set up so my wife grabbed the picture and placed it where it belonged. Worst part we were the 1st wedding so there was no one else being attended too. As the night started to end she actually argued with the maid of honor because they mistakenly took our etched wine glass that said Mrs. & she argued they did not have it and the glasses are the glasses they supply. The maid of honor said it's missing & can you please just look we are standing right next to the kitchen what is the big deal. This continued for another 2 minutes until she just went and looked and there is the GLASS! As we leave two of the waitresses get into a fight! We left so quick to just get away that we didn't even get our cake. My wife wrote a review not including ANY of the above complaints because she honestly just wanted an apology on the way we were treated in regards to Meredith. The owner called and apologized and said she is going through some things but it’s unacceptable and offered to send us a pastry platter for any upcoming holiday parties we may have as an apology. We were happy he called & wanted to move on. I'm assuming Meredith did not appreciate our review and decided to continue her ignorance. She disputed the review which is just ignorant. But to make matters even WORSE she actually had the AUDACITY to call our DJ and request he write a rebuttal to our review and say we were lying so she could have the review deleted permanently. He couldn’t believe she was bullying him into lying so she could delete our review. I mean why go to that extreme to have a review deleted? We now have to send check receipts to the website to prove we actually booked with Presidential! My wife worked so hard on this wedding and to have it turn out like this and be treated like this is disgusting.

We loved everything about Presidential from the very first meeting which was checking out the venue and discussing costs, an overview.
I was in a horrible accident three weeks before our wedding. Our wedding date was significant to us because it was the date we met 14 years ago. Changing the date wasn’t an option on our end. Gus and Meredith both offered a date change but we declined. From the day they heard about the accident until the day I walked into the the venue in my wedding dress they were more than accommodating.
Everything was beautiful for our wedding day. I was able to use the elevator to go up to our reception room and all of our guests cannot stop talking about the food, the beautiful set up and environment and how great the service was.
Thank you Gus and daughters for making our day magical!!

The Presidential was everything we wanted for our big day, and more. We booked a couple years in advance to prepare for our finances, and they were very accommodating by keeping us at that year's rate. Gus and Meredith went over all of our options, explaining exactly what came with the package, and answered all of our questions by phone and e-mail whenever we needed them. The food was simply amazing - my wife and I refused to miss out on cocktail hour mingling, and we were assigned an assistant for the night who brought us snacks, dinner and drinks whenever we needed them. The meats, veggies, hors d'ouvres, well drinks - everything was above and beyond our expectations. While we were intending on using the gazebo for an outdoor ceremony, our weekend was unfortunately hit with rainfall. Gus was ready during the week, and prepared a spot in one of the unused banquet rooms with a beautiful set of covered chairs and altar area. I can't recommend the Presidential enough. Visit them and see for yourself!

I've worked with Presidential for the past 5 years and I could not say enough about Gus and his team. They are passionate about what they do and it shows in how they treat their customers. If you are looking for an all-in-one place for your big day or corporate event, Presidential will treat you like family. You can't go wrong.

My Wedding was in July. The Ballroom was beautiful with the uplighting and chandeliers. The staff was pleasant and accommodating. We choose a stations cocktail hour, our guests are still raving about the selections. The cake was exactly like the photo I presented the pastry chef with and the dessert display included a fantastic range of sweets. My favorite photos are from the Gazebo at night. We will recommend the Presidential to all our Family and Friends

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Presidential. It's at a great location that is convenient for anyone in the Philadelphia area. We had an amazing day! They take care of everything. Food was great. The best wedding cake I have ever had. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the food and service. The pricing is very reasonable. You can choose a package that meets your budget and needs. They are also flexible and work with you on anything you could ever want. They are responsive and answer all questions quickly.

Presidential Caterers did an amazing job for our wedding! We were blown away by how beautiful the ceremony turned out. Having planned to have it outside in the gazebo, a last minute rain storm forced us inside. I was more than happy with the set-up by the spiral staircase and was glad it ended up being inside. Gus and Meredith did an excellent job facilitating and were very flexible to accommodate by requests along the way. Food, drinks and set-up were perfect. We received many compliments from guests!

Overall my wedding was pleasant. There were a few hiccups and small errors that I'm sure I won't remember down the road but I do recognize at the moment.
The venue itself is lovely. The staff is nice and the food is great. There were just a few things that were forgotten about that were unfortunate. The dessert table is a wonderful addition that made my guests very happy. They gushed about the food all night. It was a nice occasion.

From the initial meeting, the updated communication, to the wedding day itself; every part of our experience with Presedential was positive. Gus really does his best to make sure that everyone feels comfortable and secure in going with his family's company. His daughters were also very good at seeing they meet your expectations. The venue itself was beautiful! As soon as you walk into the building and then into your designated room there is a wow factor! We saved a lot of money by choosing this vendor. Everything is all inclusive aside from a photographer and DJ. We had a great experience with Platinum DJ's Mike Pitti, one of Presedential's preffered vendors. We had our own photographer and our own centerpieces made by a close family friend. We also brought our own essentials (cake topper, knives, sign in book, card box, personal photos, etc) that the crew at Presedential laid out for us. Our ceremony items were repurposed and the food was pretty decent although I didnt have much time to eat while running around greeting guests! Presedential did make sure the bride and groom were served first and continuously asked that we were okay and feeling satisfied. We felt like king and queen. Out of all the stressors leading up to our big day, Gus and his team were not a stressor in anyway. In fact they made us feel very comfortable and were there for every step of the process. We could not have asked for a better day!! If I could recommend any vendor it would be Presedential Caterers for your wedding day. Dont waste your money with other greedy vendors. The process is so beautiful through Presedential!

The facility is beautiful and elegant with all the antiques and tasteful decor. The food was amazing. Not your average selection, but a delicious assortment. Thank you to Gus and his wonderful family and staff. We look forward to a long relationship of future events.

If you want an amazing venue, service, food and reception I strongly suggest you use Presidential Caterers. Gus was great and answered all of our questions right away. You can tell he truly cares about your happiness on your wedding day. They were so organized the day of, we had no glitches. The people working the venue were extremely accommodating.The venue itself was beautiful and so open. We had a wedding of almost 300 guests and we fit everyone with a photo booth and lots of room to spare. The food was amazing also...people kept coming up to us and telling us it was hands down the best wedding they have ever been to. We can't thank Gus and his team enough for making our day so perfect!

I had tried looking into several other locations before settling on Presidential. I needed a fair sized room for the reception and I wanted it to be affordable. Presidential offered several rooms of various size and pricing options that fit my budget. Everything I needed was included and Gus was very understanding. The reception went smoothly and to this day everyone keeps telling what a great time they had.

Our event was not a wedding but a big fashion show/wine tasting/etc. event for 350 women at the Presidential. Their entire staff could not have been more helpful. The food was really wonderful - fresh and inventive, attractive AND delicious - a challenge when feeding such a large number of guests. All I've heard since then from our attendees are compliments on how beautiful the venue is and how marvelous the food was. I would highly recommend The Presidential to anyone for any special occasion!

Everything about our day was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better day and everything ran smoothly. Gus and his staff catered to our every need and they were simply amazing.
Pictures- We came to the Presidential for pictures after our ceremony. The outside was beautiful and perfect for pictures and inside the same. Highly recommend it!
Cocktail Hour- The staff was great. People commented on how good quality food and quantity of food was perfect.
The Food- I have received a number of emails from family and friends saying this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. (We did the filet and crab cake combo) Filet was cooked to perfection and the crab cakes were just amazing.
Coming from a bride, the staff catered to my every need.
I would change...
-Center pieces were not as nice as we hoped, we went with the upgrade and we were disappointed. Especially after speaking with the florist a number of times.... not a reflection on Gus and his staff at all.

My husband and I had both our ceremony and reception at presidential. When we originally started planning our wedding we had another venue booked, which closed suddenly. We reached out to Presidential as soon as we knew we had to find a new venue. the staff was great and willing to work with us, and fortunately still had our date available!
The ceremony was lovely, and they walked us through everything. The reception was out of this world and I have heard nothing but great feedback from our guests about the food, the cake, the service. Everyone was very pleased!
I would recommend Presidential to anyone! They really are a class act.

We truly can't say enough good things about Presidential Caterers. When we were wedding planning, we knew we wanted two things: excellent food and to keep the budget reasonable. We got that and so much more. Most importantly, the food was delicious and abundant. We did the buffet option, and we were very happy with the amount and quality of the food. Cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert were all amazing. The wedding cake that was part of the package was large and delicious as well. Floral centerpieces were also part of the package, and they were a nice size and very pretty. We were even sent home with all the leftover dessert and flowers from the head table and centerpieces. The venue runs like a well oiled machine. The staff had my DIY decorations boxed and ready for me at the end of the night, and were very discreet about winding the reception down and getting things cleaned up. We didn't have to set up or take down anything. The staff was courteous and professional. We were well taken care of and were able to truly just enjoy ourselves. We had the best time in a beautiful venue, and would absolutely recommend Presidential Caterers to anyone planning a wedding.

Thank you Presidential Caterers for a wonderful wedding! Gus and the staff were so professional and we got so many compliments for our wedding! A few of our guests even said it was the best wedding they have ever been to! From the beginning to the end, everything was taken care of. Presidential took care of the cocktail hour, drinks, flowers, buffet, and desserts. The food was awesome; we even had some guests with dietary restrictions (Muslim and Vegan) and Presidential took care of them no problem! Presidential also provided us with a list of preferred vendors from which we chose our limo service and DJ. We were very pleased with both! My husband I have only one regret- we wish that we could go to our reception again as guests! :)

I wanted to take a moment to thank Gus and his staff so very much for making my sisters wedding amazing. This is my sisters first marriage and we are over 50. Since our parents are no longer living it fell to me to plan the wedding. I am in the wedding business myself and have seen a lot of venues and services.
Gus, you and your incredible staff made this event easy to plan with all of your help and guidence. The services you offered and connections you guided us towards made things so easy, and the quality was first class.
The facility is just beautiful with long spiral staircases that worked great for pictures. There is a gazebo outside for that romantic shot and the ballroom is so lovely. A very elegant and spacious room with a killer dance floor. The common areas were lovely and comfortable and the brides room was a great place for the bride to freshen up.
Your staff was efficient, kind and caring, greeting our guests graciously. The food was delicious from start to finish. Service was fast and the food was hot and yummy. My kids are still fighting of the desserts we brought home. The wedding cake was also wonderful and the guests loved the flowers made into bouquets when they left.
If you are looking for a place to have a beautiful wedding reception look no further. The Presidential is the perfect venue.

I was recently married (June 14, 2014) and we had our reception at Presidential. Everything was perfect, I would not change a single thing! I knew I wanted to have my wedding here from the instant I walked in the door the first time. It is so clean and beautiful inside, even the bathrooms! Then I met Gus and he has been doing this for so long he can answer any and all questions without hesitation. The Presidential is also family run, the chef is his son, the pastry chef is his daughter and so on. They all really care and you can tell by the work they do. Prices were reasonable and food is amazing! It tastes good and the portion sizes are big. We had a sit down dinner which included a salad, a soup, a pasta, and then the entree! You will not find this much food for this price anywhere! We also had a cake and dessert table, which was absolutely delicious. We had a lot of compliments on food! Presidential make planning your wedding stress free they do all the work and they do it well!

I was looking for a location that I could hold my Disney themed wedding reception. When I came across the Presidential I knew it was the place. The staff are very nice and friendly. I loved having the venue, catering, cake, and flowers all provided at one location.
The food was amazing! The room was beautiful! The cake turned out just as I wanted. The staff were helpful and friendly.
I did not use the flowers due to difficulty with the florist but Gus was very supportive and took care of the situation.
I loved it there and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Gus and the entire team at the Presidential made my day perfect. The food was fantastic(only complaint was that everyone got "stuffed" and needed "doggy bags"). I used all vendors suggested by Gus and was extremely pleased with everyone's services; Secrets Limo, Schaffer Sound , Kremp florist and Marsella Photos. I would recommend The Presidential to all brides and any one planning a party.

My daughter had her wedding at the Presidential in Aug. 2013. I found this to be a first class operation that made our wedding a fantastic day. The room was beautiful and the food was the best. The staff was available the entire evening to handle all of our needs. They couldn't have been nicer.
The value was well worth our investment. This is a family run business that knows how to put on a wedding reception.
I would recommend the Presidential to anyone, including my other daughter. If you are planning a wedding, you owe it to yourself to take a look at this place. My guests, my family and myself couldn't have been more pleased.

I had some "challenges" in the weeks before my wedding. But Gus and his family and staff made sure that my " Day" went flawlessly! They were accommodating in every sense of the word. They checked on myself and the groom to make sure we were alright and made sure that my bridal party was comfortable.
The staff was amazing!! Ant the food was fantastic!! and there was PLENTY of it..from hors d'oeuvres to desserts our guest were truly satisfied!! I would recommend Presidental to any bride looking for a venue. It's all inclusive and well worth the price! If you are looking for perfection...this is definitely your place!!!

From the time I first stepped foot in the Presidential to check out this venue for my daughters wedding I knew this was where we were going to spend their special day. I really felt welcomed when Gus the owner made us feel like we were the only wedding there that day. He is very thorough with how him and his family run your party. he is very very organized and made everything perfect. it was a smooth sail from start to finish. From the food to the flowers it was so great. I have a friend who had their daughters wedding there about 5 years ago and recommended us to them. Their other daughter was getting married and chose the Presidential for her venue and I couldn't figure out why she would want to get married the same place her sister did. Well by the end of the night I knew exactly why. I will recommend Gus and his family at the Presidentail Caterers to anyone!

I can't say enough about how wonderful Presidential Caterers was for my wedding! Gus was kind and accomodating. We met several times to go over details. Each time Gus was flexible and offered advice for various situations or details we hadn't considered. Additionally, Gus's daughter who is the pastry chef for the venue offered to make a very unique cake we requested for an additional fee. We were very happy with the result and have received numerous compliments about the venue and the cake already! Even our photographer said she had never seem a cake like ours! I'd also like to add that the portions were very generous for dinner and I heard from guests that there were plenty of appetizers during cocktail hour. The dessert table was my favorite part though!! Thank you Gus and everyone at Presidential Caterers!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Presidential Caterers on July 6, 2013. It was a perfect venue for our big celebration. The bridal party was welcomed during cocktail hour with food and drinks. Meredith even helped my sister bustle my complicated dress without having to ask. Presidential Caterers is a family run business and they were all honest with us from start to finish. They know what they are doing and can be trusted to make your event as smooth as possible. With any big event there are things bound to happen that are unforeseen but Gus and his family helped us roll with the punches because they've done this so many times before. I recommend Presidential Caterers to any bride and groom looking for an accomodating, affordable, honest, delicious, family-friendly venue for their wedding reception! No regrets, we enjoyed every minute :-)

Gus and his staff are amazing. AFter visiting 3 other venues you can totally tell the difference with a family owned operation like this. The quality and quantity of food that is provided exceeded all of our expectations. I wish I could get married every month. Our guests could not compliment Presidential enough!

We just got married March 23rd 2013 and had our reception at Presidential caterers. Working with Gus was the most pleasant experience of planning. It was also the easiest. Gus made it extremely easy to get everything together for the reception. The all inclusive package was awesome because we only had to deal with 1 vendor for many aspects of the reception. Once we got to the reception we were greeted by Gus and his staff. The staff was excellent!! They were so helpful and kind! I would recommend Presidential Caterers to anyone getting married. The food was absolutely amazing and all of our guests commented on the delicious food. Thanks Presidential and Gus for making our wedding everything we ever hoped for and more!

My husband and I were married on 9/15/12. We had our Wedding Ceremony and Reception at Presidential Caterers. What an amazing day we had! From the moment we called for our first appointment, to the end of our Wedding evening, everything was PERFECT! Gus and his entire staff were so helpful through the entire process. He always made me feel at ease when my stress level was at its highest point. He always assured me that everything was going to be GREAT, and it was. The venue was beautiful and the food was AMAZING! The price was right too! Our guest are still telling us how much fun they had and how wonderful the food was. The Dessert Table was incredible. There were so many elegant desserts to choose from, you didn't know which one to pick first. We had a live band, and the room was a perfect size for them and the sound in the room was awesome, our guests danced all night. Presidential Caterers also has beautiful areas for photos, inside and out. Our beautiful wedding day will always be cherished because of our Family, Friends and Presidential Caterers. I strongly recommend this venue for your wedding....you won't be disappointed.

We knew as soon as we walked into Presidential Caterers that we would have our wedding at this venue. As a matter of fact, we didn't even look at any other venues after meeting with them. Presidential is family owned and operated and their extensive experience in the wedding reception industry positions them as a trustworthy, honest and genuine venue to do business with.
I love that Presidential staff was swift to respond to all of inquiries. Sometimes, being a Bride, it can seem like we are being asked so many questions by our families, and Gus and his staff where there to answer every single one.
The Presidential does host multiple weddings on a staggered schedule, but you would never even know. They treat you as if you are the only event they are hosting, with an extensive staff exclusively for your room, a banquet manager, and Gus and his family are present through the entire event. I've worked in events and entertainment for years and I've never seen or experienced anything quite like it. They make you feel special, heard and the center of attention. They also assure that you and your Bridal Party have your own attendant and are waited on from beginning to end.
We had a very clear budget for a guest list of about 200 people and Presidential was able to come in at a very affordable price. The all-inclusive nature of their wedding package was beyond our expectations. Not only did it save us money, but it removed so many tasks from our planning list. From food, to centerpieces, to the wedding cake, we were just beyond thrilled with everything that Presidential Caterers provided us with!
Our guests were also very very impressed with Presidential Caterers menu. The food was SO delicious. The Dessert table was enormous and the table settings looked gorgeous.
If you want to host an event that you, your family, and your guests will remember for years to come, go with the Presidential and you will be beyond thrilled with the celebration of your marriage!!!

The Food
My husband and I jokingly consider ourselves “food snobs” because our favorite activity is going out to fancy restaurants and cooking from scratch at home. I have even taken classes at the International Culinary Institute to become a food critic. Our biggest concern about finding a venue was that we were afraid that we were going to be disappointed by the traditional “rubbery chicken.” Presidential could not be any further from that!!
All of our guest were absolutely delighted at how juicy and succulent all of the proteins were, how the side dishes were not overlooked and had great seasoning, and how extensive and delicious the appetizers were, etc. Our guests went out of the their way that night to tell us it was one of the best meals that have had in a long time, let alone at a wedding. To add icing on the cake, even the people in our family who were very picky eaters loved the food. The dessert table was included which never happens in other venues and it really made our wedding look and taste that much more impressive – and OMG was it good!
Accommodating Service
We had bought a special cake topper that had a bridge on it and the pastry chef Jen completely customized our cake so that we could use it and it looked more beautiful than we ever imagined it could. I wanted the head Chef to add fresh basil and sage to some of the dishes as garnishes and they were happy to do it and included it at no extra cost! The owner Gus was also sooo helpful and answered all of my questions and let me take a look around every time I went in there for a meeting. I couldn’t be any happier at the end of the night at the food servers too, and we loved that we had our own personal waiter the whole night.
The Atmosphere
The pictures on their website do not do them any justice. The place is truly beautiful and more than impressive inside. Everyone said “wow” just as they were walking in. With the price of everything being included… flowers, apps, soup or fruit, salad, entrees, booze, cake and a pastry table, I can promise that after looking at seriously about 30 other venues, nothing compared to the grandeur of the location or the taste of the food, and absolutely none one else could touch Presidential on the value of the price.
We looked at a lot of other venues before we looked at Presidential Caterers; I guess we saved the best for last! I would highly suggest having your wedding there! Thank you so much to everyone there!!!! The day was a dream come true!!! :)

The Presidential staff made sure that I had an awesome wedding. People were talking about how wonderful everything turned out for weeks after my event. I would highly recommend Presidential Caterers.

When Gus tells you that it will all come together the day of the event, he isn't lying! My wedding was amazing and went perfectly.
The only negative I had was, our bartender had no personality. He just wasn't fun, never had a smile on his face, etc.
Other than that, everything was great. The way they set up all of our decorations to the portion sizes for food and how it tasted. I wish I could relive it over and over again, and if I did, I would choose Presidential!
If anything went wrong, I didn't know about it. Everybody catered to me and my husband and made sure we were doing well. I loved it! The place was beautiful and I couldn't have asked for a better night!
