Edgemont Caterers

This place is an absolute joke. First and foremost, I can say that perhaps we made the mistake even thinking it was an option for a wedding. Cost was a huge factor and we had hosted several successful events prior so we thought it would be ok. There was such a lack of communication between the two owners. They were not cooperative at all. It was one headache after another. We would request one thing and get an answer only to receive different information a few days later. Planning a wedding is stressful enough without the added burden of a hall unwilling to work with us. They booked an event the day of the wedding and stated we couldn’t set up any earlier than 5:00pm. The wedding started at 6:00pm. The DJ they recommended was awful. He did not play the songs requested and even proceeded to argue with the bride while she was hysterically crying in her wedding dress. The attitude from the owner was completely unprofessional. They were bothered by the things we brought it to be set up-​the thing included-​place card holders, center pieces, table numbers, favors and a frame for sign in. I am not sure what types of weddings they are used to hosting but these seemed like standard things you would see at a wedding. They told us they would move items used as wedding photo props (an arch made of silk flowers and an antique typewriter?) However, they refused to move any of it stating it was too heavy. They ordered the linen napkins in the wrong color. The food was horrendous. They served the bridal party roast beef soaked in brown gravy. We couldn’t even cut it with the knife. The entire night was a nightmare. They told us the day before the wedding the bridal party could not fit at the head table so we had to make additional arrangements. The entire experience was disappointing and I will not even recommend them again. As I stated previously, we had hosted 4 events previously without any issues. I am not sure what transpired in the last year but they need to get their business in order.

Edgemont has been the host to many a family party for as long as I can remember. They are probably the best neighborhood spot to throw a party and still maintain some class. The hall itself is very beautiful without being tacky (I’m thinking Casbah).
Their prices are very reasonable as well. My best friend’s bridal shower was just hosted here, and everybody was very impressed with the food. In particular the penne pasta with seafood was delicious.
The only negative thing I could think of would be the parking situation in Bridesburg. However, the Edgemont recently worked out an agreement with a local Church to provide more parking, and it is no longer a concern. Edgemont is the best local hall for any party or event.

Had my 30^th Birthday party here yesterday and I first and foremost want to say the staff is very nice and considerate. Even when a glass cup broke accidentally or when I hung around to wait for my ride after the party ended, they didn’t have a single bad thing to say and were completely courteous. The bartender had a lot of business throughout the evening and had a smile the whole time. I also want to say they’re very affordable, it cost $ 25 a head for adults (minimum fifty adults) which included the cost of alcohol and a cake ($ 10 for children over three, free for children under). We had a dinner buffet and the hot food was generally good (turkey was very good) but people really enjoyed the sweet table with bite sized desserts and puddings. I think the variety of beverages was also greatly appreciated, as I said we had an open bar which cost an additional $ 5 a head and featured alcohol and soda, and there was also hot tea and coffee offered with flavored syrups for the coffee (Irish crème and so forth). The cake provided was interesting in that it was half chocolate and half vanilla but it was dry and the frosting had sugar that wasn’t properly mixed in it. The DJ was nice and did a good job hosting the party, but being above the party made it challenging to contact her. She was also given a list of music to use but had difficulty getting a hold of the songs and only a small portion of requested music was played (generally dubstep was requested but was largely absent). It should be noted the DJ is paid separately from the bill for the caterer.
