The Perfect Event

The Hillside Catering is a family owned business located in the heart of Montoursville, Pennsylvania. The owner David Miele has had this business for over 35 years,  it opened in 1979 and is currently now being passed down to his son Michael and his daughter-in-law Adria. They strive for excellence with everything they do and receive nothing but positive feedback and complements. Hillside can do any event and will do whatever to make sure that the event is perfect and fits the person's needs in every way possible. "We execute parties flawlessly and appreciate challenges," says Adria Miele, a manager of The Hillside. Some events include weddings, company parties, holiday parties and so on. Hillside will do any kind of event, even one that takes a challenge. Events vary in size, but the largest group of people was 2,500. They have served presidents, congressman and senators. This past Christmas, there was a Christmas party for the owner of Moran Industries, John Moran,  a half-millionaire if not yet a billionaire. He chose the Hillside for the amazing staff and food, and they've done their Christmas parties for the last couple of years.

The Hillside makes sure all of the food that leaves the kitchen doors is fresh and perfect. Not to mention, all of the foods are homemade from scratch and they make their own dips and spreads as well which are always amazing and tasty. They offer a variety of different menus to choose from, or you can choose what you want to eat and Hillside will make it. As you walk in the Hillside, you enter into a workplace with people cooking or baking or someone cutting vegetables or meats you name it, they do it. The aroma of the food is always so pleasing to smell. The kitchen is fairly large with stoves, freezers, fridges and a clean up area as well. Beyond the kitchen is where almost everything is kept, such as silverware, plates, display boards, chafing dishes and linens. Everything is organized nicely and has its own spot, so nothing should ever be misplaced. Behind this room is the office where people come in for tastings, bookings or just to go over things such as pricing for an event.

When asking Adria what her favorite part of working at Hillside was she responded with "working with brides to make sure their day is perfect and designing menus and food displays." So far, Hillside has done over 700 weddings. Adria loves to make sure everything goes well and it always does. She has been working with Hillside for 6 years now and loves what she does. Michael and Adria have both accomplished so much working here and are great employers with a great staff that is like family. The staff is always uniformed in classy black button up shirts with "The Hillside Catering" printed on them, black dress pants and black dress shoes. "Wearing black is unobtrusive, sleek and doesn't show stains," Adria claims.

The Hillside will travel anywhere for any type of event and they stay busy. They have traveled to places like State College, Virginia Beach, Philadelphia and the owner, David, has done an event in New Zealand. Hillside is advertised by word of mouth and Facebook and Instagram and you can find them @The Hillside Catering. Pictures of all different kinds of events are displayed on these platforms to show what went on that special day. The reviews for Hillside are always great and people could not be happier to have chosen such an amazing catering business that offers so much. You can tell they do their absolute best with every event and will continue to do so. Adria and Michael tied the knot in July of 2017, and the Hillside staff made sure to make their managers wedding beyond special.
