Delicious food and great experience

We worked with Chef Aaron and his team for our May 2022 wedding. Rania’s Catering was a preferred vendor at our venue and the one we selected after calling several others. We loved their down-to-earth attitude and reasonable costs, as well as plentiful choices. So many people complimented our delicious appetizers and entrees! Instead of a cake, we had Rania’s provide more cookies (never enough for a Pittsburgh cookie table). Because of their popularity and volume of weddings, responses were a bit delayed sometimes. Overall, a fabulous caterer! Thank you!

A very kind business owner and amazing food!

Upon first meeting Rania, I could tell she was someone who wanted to get down to business, but also make sure the bride and groom had what they wanted. She stuck up for us when my mom tried to control the kind of cake we wanted and I appreciated that SO much! (The cake ended up being so light and creamy and delicious, not to mention our vision for it came completely true at the wedding)! Her professionalism, bold approach and delicious food was just out of this world! When we went to the tasting, I couldn't wait to have our guests try this amazing food( and for us to eat it again as well)! All of my guests were so pleased with the food, some had multiple plates and others raved how wonderful it was! Rania was kind enough to show up in person and wish us a happy wedding day. She is truly a kind soul that will go above and beyond to make your day special with the food you choose to serve to your guests.

Wonderful Wedding Reception!!

My daughter and son-in-law had a lovely afternoon wedding two weeks ago at the Pittsburgh Botanic Garden. Rania Harris and her staff created an unbelievably delicious experience for their event! From the moment we contacted Rania, she walked us through the planning of not only the hors d'oeuvres, meals, and wedding cake, she suggested types of wine, champagne, and cocktails. Since it was a fall wedding and we were unsure of the weather, we chose a wonderful tomato bisque in place of a salad. The beef tenderloin kebobs and the chicken parmesan entrees were incredible with accompanying vegetables, potatoes and/or risotto! Each meal was prepared on-site. To say that our guests were pleased with their meals and the service provided would be an understatement! They are still commenting that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! My daughter and son-in-law chose the flavors of their wedding cake with the assistance of Rania. She made sure it was their decision since it was their special day! Patty, the pastry chef, created a delicious and beautiful wedding cake, working well with the florist who accented it with coordinating fresh flowers.

The wait staff was very accomodating with any request. The floor manager, Cyndi, was available to coordinate Rania's staff and the PBG staff so that everything flowed seamlessly. Probably the biggest surprise (and the most meaningful) was that Rania was personally present for the reception! She graciously greeted my daughter and new son-in-law and enjoyed meeting my friends who, like me, watch Rania weekly on Pittsburgh Today Live! There is nothing I would change about the choices made with Rania's Catering. The quality of the food and service was superb!
