All Seasons Catering by Shackamaxon -- Our History & Where We Can Work For You: 86 Sites for Catering Weddings and Events: Philadelphia, Main Line, Bucks and Chester Counties

The year was 1986 that we fixed on Shackamaxon as our name. What does it mean?

Here's our ancient past: in the native American, Lenni Lenape language, that William Penn encountered on the banks of the Delaware, it means:

The sacred site where the chiefs sit down together to plan, to celebrate, and, finally, to eat.

And that's what we will do for you.

Our Philadelphia area catering team members work together, with their singular skills, to discover and the fulfill your needs - doing it all within your party and wedding catering budgets for the Delaware Valley.

We're not a massive catering operation, so all our clients will get our personal care and, in as much as we have more than a little experience built up since 1986, we have learned how to make all of it happen for you with passion covered by the patina of gourmet catering experience in the Philadelphia area.

Where?

Our catering sites for off-premise catering-- weddings, events, and parties -- are throughout the Delaware Valley - from the tip of New Jersey, overlooking New York, on down through Princeton, out through Montgomery, Bucks, and Chester Counties, then on down to Delaware and into Wilmington, we have 86 sites that can be yours - including your own house, office of backyard - so make that 89 sites!

And what catering sites for parties they are: museums, mansions, art galleries, barns, rustic country houses, town houses in Philadelphia, gardens for garden weddings and sweeping, historic staircases for "I do".

Sites that work for:

- any kind of corporate need,

- almost any vision of a wedding,

- any family's dream of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah,

- fun company picnics on the river, in a farm-yard, on an air balloon,

- reunions from the family to the high school

- the graduation party for too many friends to have it at home.

Not on the List?

If we're not on the "list" of approved caterers, chances are that we'll also be able to work there for you.

Catering A Philadelphia Wedding -- The Story by All Seasons Catering by Shackamaxon:

One Wedding at Bartram's Gardens, Philadelphia

Birds Looked on, While She Married Under the Yellowwood Tree

Here I am in the middle of Philadelphia and wildflowers are overwhelming me at Bartram's Gardens as we set up a wedding ceremony and reception.

I've found a low hillock in this fifteen acres of waving white and gold to stretch out on and compose the strategy for the catering day,

while over the flower tops the birds are weaving a skein of energy on this the day of Elaine's wedding to David here at Bartram's Gardens.

Natives Came to Visit & Brought Exotic Plants

More than 250 years ago, the Bartram family had been ploughing this land that still runs down to the Schuylkill, but now looks out to the spiny Philadelphia skyline of 1996.
