Presidential Caterers hosts sales conferences, training seminars, trade shows, business expos, awards banquets and weddings for groups of up to 1,000 guests, across more than 40,000 square feet of meeting space. It is a family-owned, all-inclusive venue at 2910 Dekalb Pike in East Norriton, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, northwest of Philadelphia, and its own chefs prepare the food.
Seminars and company events
The corporate offer covers breakfast meetings, corporate lunches, training seminars, sales conferences, awards banquets, business expos, trade shows and holiday parties. Rooms are booked in four-hour blocks, and the venue provides audiovisual and production services for presentations and stage programs. Food follows the shape of the day: a continental breakfast, a hot breakfast buffet or grab-and-go sandwiches and fruit in the morning; a plated lunch or a boxed lunch at midday; an afternoon break with fruit, crudités, brownies, cookies and coffee; continuous refreshments for long sessions. Evening events can move to a plated dinner, a buffet with carving stations, or food stations such as pasta, seafood, carving and dim sum. Parking is free.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are run as packages that include a cocktail hour with stations and passed hors d'oeuvres, a seated dinner with a salad or first course and a choice of two entrées, a wedding cake, and a bar selection. The premier package adds a larger cocktail hour and a Viennese pastry table. A buffet can replace the plated dinner. Ceremonies can take place on site, indoors or outdoors at the gazebo, so the whole day stays at one address. The venue holds bridal tastings during the year.
Rooms and capacities
The official site gives a total of more than 40,000 square feet of meeting space and a capacity of 500 to 1,000 guests, with a large lobby for arrivals and cocktail hours. It does not name the individual ballrooms or give their separate capacities, so ask the sales team for floor plans and the right room for your numbers.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms on site. Several hotels a few minutes away, including Hyatt and Doubletree properties, run shuttles to the venue.
Catering
Catering is the company's trade, as its name says. Menus are prepared by the in-house chefs and adjusted to each event, with full-service staff, cocktail receptions and add-ons such as a soda bar, bottled water or mini deli sandwiches.
History and setting
The business has operated since 1951 and has been run by the same family for three generations. It sits on Dekalb Pike, US Route 202, in the suburbs of Montgomery County, an area of office parks and corporate campuses northwest of Philadelphia.
Getting there
The venue is at the junction of Route 202 and Germantown Pike, a few minutes from Interstate 476 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Regional rail lines and Philadelphia International Airport are within reach by road.
