About

Welcome, we’re glad you’re here! We're Sarah & Pat, a husband and wife team who have traveled the United States building our background in the catering and restaurant world. Back in 2013 when we first started Mountain Laurel, little did we know we'd be doing 150+ events in 2022!

Mountain Laurel Catering specializes in creating dishes to reflect our couples -- we take into account all of your requests to custom-tailor a menu. Chef Pat served as the Acting Executive Chef at Paws Up Resort in Montana and then moved to The Inn at Dos Brisas in Texas. From the start of his career, Chef Pat has always believed in sourcing the freshest local ingredients possible, hunting the best products at local farms, markets and orchards.

Our culinary and service team enjoy getting to know our couples and providing outstanding service throughout the process, from inquiry through wedding day. With over 50 years of combined talent on our team, Mountain Laurel Catering is ready to make your wedding as unique and unforgettable as the two of you. Congratulations, and we can't wait to celebrate with you!

Best caterer!!

Mountain Laurel Catering has the BEST food and the most responsive, flexible team! They made me a unique menu with vegan options, and we got so many compliments on how good the food was. I also love that they do the late night snack bar. You cannot go wrong with this caterer!

the whole package!

We loved working with Mountain Laurel Catering for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were always incredibly responsive to all of our questions. We were coordinating a cross-country wedding, so they worked with us to arrange a tasting at a time that worked and responded to all our emails incredibly quickly. No question or comment was too small. When the day itself came, the food was amazing and guests couldn’t stop commenting. They made sure that we were eating and well taken care of, as well as all of our guests. Cannot recommend them highly enough!

Best Food Ever!

From start to finish, Mountain Laurel was an amazing caterer. My husband and I worked with Ally...and she was the best. She helped us schedule our tasting, design our menu, pick linens, and much more. The servers, bartenders, and other staff members were kind, friendly, and efficent. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was! I would suggest hiring them for your wedding or event!

Ally was a bride of Mountain Laurel before joining our team in the summer of 2021! She is your go-to for all things trending in the wedding industry. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions - she loves chatting about fun flatware styles and colored goblets, or boho runners and bright floral displays!

Her favorite food is Chef Jordan's Tomato Basil Bisque and his Mac & Cheese!
