Reviews for Balboa Catering & Supper Club at American Silk in Philadelphia, PA

Working with the Balboa team was an absolutely amazing experience. Not only did they make INCREDIBLE food for our wedding, They... helped with so much more than that. We had a 200+ person, very DIY backyard wedding. Yes, I know. Crazy. Balboa helped so much,though. Not only did they make delicious food? they had live chefs, provided the staff, the bartenders, helped me with therentals for the ENTIRE wedding (glassware, tables, linens, forks, etc.), came to my rental appointment with me, did head countsto make sure that we would have enough of everything, helped with setting up & breaking down the whole event?. And so much more.We worked very closely with Jocelyn, and she was absolutely incredible. We have a not so easy to please crowd & we have heardnothing but raving reviews about everything. The food, the experience, the staff members, the list goes on. We?ve actually heardfrom several family/friends that they contacted & hired Balboa for other events immediately after the wedding. Usually weddingfood gets a ?it was fine? review from me, but not with Balboa. They go above & beyond. The food is absolutely divine. I can notwait to experience it again. Jocelyn, Alex, & the entire Balboa team? THANK YOU. We could not recommend you more & look forwardto hiring you again in the future for other events! Your team is the absolute best! Read more

The entire Balboa team and experience was amazing - my wife's 40th birthday party was perfectly executed. The staff was fun and... attentive. The food was absolutely delicious - each bite was better than the next. Thanks again for everything Alex & Jocelyn! Read more

Balboa helped me throw a surprise cocktail party for my wife. We were 20 people and everyone raved about the entire experience.... The food was amazing, the servers were fantastic, the bartender was cranking out drinks, and they left my house cleaner than itwas when they arrived. I have now used Balboa for a number of different occasions and cannot recommend them enough. Read more

Not your average caterer!! Balboa went above and beyond to make our wedding a foodie's dream-come-true. Alex crafted a custom... menu around our favorite foods and every single bite was amazing. Alex, Jocelyn, and their entire team impressed us in everyway, from the initial planning calls to the beautiful spread of food they created for our special day. They were alsoincredibly flexible when we downsized from 120 to 30 guests, quickly reworking the menu to accommodate the change in plans. Ourfamily and friends are still talking about how amazing the food was at our wedding, and we will definitely be recommendingBalboa to anyone who is looking for a truly unique and delicious catering experience.

Balboa creates such a special dining experience - they are truly masters of their craft. Adding Chef Alex, Jocelyn and the team... to our Nov.2021 wedding day (at The Deacon) was one of our very best decisions. We hosted a slightly untraditional event - witha sit down dinner of just 14 of our closest family members, followed by a "cocktail-style" reception for 90ish additionalfriends. Balboa was extremely flexible as we discussed our plans and Alex provided guidance as we sorted out how to coordinatethis type of event. We opted to have a tasting experience, a few months prior, to try out the menu. We, and our parents, weabsolutely blown away by the flavor, quality and presentation of the food. The experience they presented on wedding day wasabsolutely flawless! The meal was gorgeous and so perfectly prepared. Alex even took the time to explain each course to thetable. (We had a guest with celiac who required a GF option and Balboa took such special care to present this individual with anequally delicious meal. We're so appreciative of the care they showed him.) Guests are still raving about the hors d'oeuvrescreated for the reception portion! The serving staff and bartenders were top notch and were attentive and professional allnight long. Balboa worked seamlessly with our planning team, Clover Event Co, to sort out rentals, timelines, etc. We truly hadnothing to worry about and we were able to have a 100% stress free wedding day. We can't recommend Balboa enough. The trulydeliver a phenomenal experience. Read more

Balboa is truly in a league of its own. Calling Balboa a "wedding caterer" feels like a disservice to the quality of their food... and care that goes into every aspect of their culinary experience. Chef Alex and Jocelyn expertly curated the perfect dinner andbrunch menus for our guests, and even coordinated all of our rentals for the weekend too. Their team is equally wonderful too-everyone who took care of our event was so kind and professional. A few guests commented that the food was the best they've everhad at a wedding! Read more

Chef Alex and his team did an absolutely phenomenal job for our 110 person wedding in October 2021. Alex went above and beyond... to curate a 100% gluten free wedding to accommodate my celiac disease. From sushi, to yakitori, to a HUMONGOUS cheese board,Balboa wowed our guests. Did I mention they were able to pull off an incredible meal without running water or an officialkitchen?! They were able to guide us through renting a working kitchen at our rustic venue. Thank you, Balboa, for providing amemorable meal to kick off our marriage! Read more
