If you are looking to hire a caterer that not only provides amazing food, but is helpful in all aspects of planning a wedding, please consider hiring Rania's catering. After one conversation you will be relieved and sure that you are in good hands. It was very pleasant meeting with Rania and I even found I love sour cherry pie when planning some of the details, as she offered me a slice. The reason why I would like to make this next part a little more heartfelt is because my little brother passed away a month before my wedding day and it was difficult timing. I was focused on consoling my family and uninterested in wedding details. Rania called and left a message, along with an email, with her deepest sympathies and assurance she would handle the wedding aspect. It was truly a touching gesture. I fell behind in everything and she was right there to walk me through it and practiced patience as the to do list piled up. The day of, everything was perfect. I had so many guests rave about the food and not only how delicious it was but how shocked they were that two hundred and thirty people could be fed at the same time. The floor managers took care of every detail and the staff was efficient, kind and looked as if they were having a nice time. As you can read by all the other reviews, you won't come close to being disappointed...more so, blown away! Thank you to Rania, Susan and everyone else involved in the process of throwing a spectacular wedding, you are a gem in your industry. Thank you for creating a wonderful memory for me and I can't wait to stop by when I am in town for a piece of the best pie in the world, your sweet potato pecan pie!! Carley

If you want the best food you will ever eat at a wedding, I would strongly recommend that you hire Rania. Her food is absolutely amazing!! Plus, the service is out of this world. I was so impressed with Rania and her entire staff that day, and so was everyone else who attended my wedding. I have received countless compliments about the food and its service. Rania made my wedding reception a dream come true!

I cannot say enough positive things about Rania's Catering. From the first moment we met Rania and her staff, we could tell that they really cared about us and the outcome of the wedding. Rania's is almost a wedding planner, they coordinate rentals (linens, tables, etc) and speak with all of your vendors so they are on the same page. The food is absolutely amazing. We heard rave reviews from our guests, especially on the appetizers (we had 5 but there were pages to pick from!). We made a change to our chicken dish after the tasting and the end result couldn't have been better! All of the food is cooked fresh onsite. The cake was included and it was beautiful and delicious. The baker even called to confirm the details of the cake the week of to make sure everything was just right. The staff was friendly and professional. They even went out of their way to help us take off the chair covers at the end of the night even though it wasn't their job. Rania's Catering is worth every penny and I would highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding or other catered event.

Seriously, if you want the PERFECT wedding you have only one choice...Rania! She was soooooo much more than a caterer, she gave us wonderful contacts for everything else we needed. She is the complete wedding planner! I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding for my daughter and Rania was a HUGE part. Her attention to detail is beyond compare! Read and look no further...call her today!

Rania and her wonderful staff were truly amazing in the entire process of planning our wedding. The day in its entirety, the food, the service, the professionalism were all above and beyond our already very high expectations because we had been so pleased with them along the way. They have such incredible attention to detail, our guests continue to RAVE about the menu for our wedding. From day one since I sent my inquiry to Rania's services, she stood out above any other caterer I had "shopped" through. She dedicates her time and attention to her bride the week of her wedding 110% percent, and mentioned this to me before the wedding one week where she was unable to meet because she was so dedicated to the bride of the wedding she was preparing for that week. Despite her number of events she caters every year, she is always very available, flexible, and finds the time to devote to all of her patrons. This is also thanks to her incredibly dedicated staff, who are all comparable in supreme work ethic that is admirable and recognized by all of their patrons. Myself, my husband, and my family cannot stop our praise for Rania and her staff. They truly made our wedding as special as it possibly could be, as I mentioned, far above my expectations. The day was stress-free and we were able to enjoy it in its entirety because Rania had catered to every last detail. They are truly amazing and I will always recommend them for the future. We have continued to use Rania and her services for other family gatherings since. Thank you again, Rania, and all of your staff :) You truly are wonderful, and made our day so very special and memorable.

Rania's Catering did our wedding on October 8th at Phipps Conservatory and I cannot say enough fabulous things about the job they did. Everything from food to service was fantastic. Rania worked with us to make every detail of our reception perfect. We received tons of compliments on how good the food was and how friendly the staff was. My friend even ripped her dress and a Rania's staff member helped her sew it together!! In addition, my mother and I made our own centerpieces for the guest tables and cocktail tables; Rania went above and beyond by setting up all the centerpieces since we did not have a florist. I would not pass up the opportunity to have Rania cater an event!

Rania and her staff were true professionals. She took care of every detail, and as the mother of the bride that was priceless. She was quick to ease all of my apprehensions as we went through the planning process and was quick to respond to my many questions. We had an overwhelming positive response from the guests about the food. I would highly recommend her for any affair...and her floor manager Cyndi was excellent!

My daughter and I both live out of town and we were planning a wedding in Pittsburgh. Rania personally called me and from the first moment we spoke, I knew she would be our caterer. I needed someone to "hold my hand" through this process and not only did I trust her to have the best menu but also to help us in whatever area of the wedding process we needed. I was not disappointed. I would say that you get what you pay for and you may find other caterers with less expensive prices but Rania's quality is unsurpassed and the presentation of the food was amazing.

Rania is so organized and on top of every detail. She held all the vendors together and helped us through last minute details. She used great judgment when the weather turned on us by moving the cocktail hour inside. the set-up was wonderful. The food was excellent and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Have no fear if you decide to use RAnia's catering.

Rania's Catering did a fantastic job on helping us through the planning of the event, coordinating the rentals of the linens, tables, chairs, etc. and providing the food for my daughter's wedding. Everyone who attended the reception had nothing but great things to say about all of the food that was served from the appetizers during the cocktail hour to the sit down meal to the wedding cake. Some said it was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. The staff that serves the event is very professional and helpful. During the reception, we were low on certain mixers at the bar. The onsite manager offered to get the extra mixers needed so no one in the family had to leave the party to take care of this problem. She was great to work with throughout the evening and always kept me aware of what needed to be taken care of before I had asked.

More than a caterer definitely a Wedding coordinator. Rania created time lines, spoke with the venue, florist along with providing outstanding appetizers (not the usual fair - lamb chops superior) and entree that were delicious beyond the norm. Rania's staff was attentive and anticipated our needs. Bride & Groom live in Phoenix AZ but Rania was easily contacted and responded immediately to any email or phone call. Without hesitation please use Rania - you will not be disappointed. Raniatogo made our day perfect.
