Robyn has been wonderful to work with since we first scheduled our tour of this amazing Jeffrey A. Miller Catering venue. She is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable (and if she doesn’t know the answer, she will get back to you when she does). Out of all the venues we toured, we felt like Robyn really cared about us and our experience. Don’t overlook this hidden gem which is close to Philadelphia and South Jersey! Reviewed on 06-11-2022
Thomas Garrity(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-10-2021 We were the first couple to sign for the Barn at Cauffiel. We had visited several other properties and venues prior, both owned by JAM and not, but as soon as we got out of the car at the Cauffiel Estate it felt like we had found our place. We explored the property and immediately fell in love with the property when Tom Covello, the venue manager, took us into the barn and told us its story (we won't ruin it and let him tell you on your visit!). Back in late 2019, exploring the property and imagining our day there took some vision as the property had not yet been renovated. But the way Tom spoke about the vision for the property we knew it would be beautiful. We got to watch over our long engagement as the venue was transformed. The finished product is more than we could have hoped for--keeping the charming character of the original property while making it also feel updated and welcoming. Our wedding day went beautifully and all of our guests enjoyed the experience! For us, the best part was that the property is a complete package. Ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and rooms for the bridal party all in one place! Tie that in with JAM's proven catering prowess and its a recipe for success! Reviewed on 15-11-2021
Marie Phillips(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2021 We had planned our daughters wedding since 2019, It was all set for 10/3/2020 then covid hit. JAM catering let us reschedule to 9/18/2021. Tom and his team made everything run smooth. The grounds, house and barn are beautiful. It was top notch treatment and service. I highly recommend renting the house for the weekend. The flowers were breathtaking from their team of florists at Buttercup. My daughter's vision was brought to life. I wish we could go back and do this day again to enjoy it again. Reviewed on 13-10-2021
Jonathan Reed(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-09-2021 When we first visited Cauffiel, it was new to JAM and had not undergone renovation yet. We took a leap of faith given the conceptual photos we were shown. We're so glad we did. The barn looks awesome! It was exactly the aesthetic and experience we wanted.The entire estate is beautiful and having the house available for cocktail hour and for overnight stay was an added benefit. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, and we wouldn't have chosen any other venue if we had it to do over again. Tom Covello and the staff were incredibly easy to work with. They were accommodating to our requests and helped us plan a perfect day. We can't thank Tom and everyone enough for their help and enthusiasm toward making our event happen! Reviewed on 28-09-2021
Bethany Panchak(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-08-2021 We had an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE throughout our entire wedding weekend at The Barn at Cauffiel Estate. We had both our rehearsal lunch and wedding (ceremony and reception) on the Cauffiel Estate property and everything was PERFECTION. From the start of the rehearsal on Saturday through the end of the our reception on Sunday night, everything flowed incredibly smoothly and according to plan. Being the type-A bride throughout the wedding planning process, Tom Covello (Cauffiel Estate site manager) and the entire JAM & Buttercup team exceeded my expectations. The venue, decor and flowers (decor and flowers provided by Buttercup) were STUNNING! It was everything I had envisioned for our rustic & romantic wedding. The food was DELICIOUS. So many of our friends and family continue to tell us how much they enjoyed the food on our wedding day. The entire day felt like I was on a cloud, the experience was just flat out AMAZING. I could go on and on about how much I loved the weekend and continue to relive it. I was blown away by how they made our vision come to life. Thanks so much to Tom, the JAM team and the Buttercup team for making it all possible for us. Reviewed on 18-09-2021
Bethany Panchak(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-08-2021 Working with Jeffery A Miller (JAM) catering and Tom (the Cauffiel Estate site manager) has been an absolute pleasure thus far in our wedding planning journey. We fell in love with Cauffiel Estate after our tour and started the contract process shortly after. Everything about planning our big day has been completely customizable, especially their farm-to table menu! Our day is shaping up to be exactly what we dreamed of. Tom has been amazingly patient through the whole process, and also so knowledgable about making our vision come true, we couldn't imagine working with anyone else. We're incredibly excited for our upcoming wedding and are so thankful we found JAM for our special day. Reviewed on 03-04-2021
Austin Rudd(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-07-2020 We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here, and I couldn't recommend it more. The food was fantastic and very well priced! Everyone loved it! The venue was BEAUTIFUL. Perfectly appointed. Clean. And we had an AMAZING view of the Delaware River in the background. It was probably only 1/8th of a mile away. The grounds are also gorgeous. Although we just had our rehearsal dinner here (with 38 people) this venue would accommodate, and be perfect, for a wedding as well. It is totally quaint. Five-star reviews on everything for this location. And the best part is that Tom will be your right-hand man throughout the planning process, and he is a JOY to work with. He made the planning fun...and that seemed almost impossible given our COVID situation.Lastly, I should mention that the Cauffiel house has 7 incredible bedrooms. We rented out the house for 2 nights. The bridesmaids stayed here and they LOVED it. It was ridiculously reasonable in terms of cost (more cost-effective than hotel rooms for sure) and absolutely elegant. Hardwood floors. Big, beautiful wood trim. Plush beds. Perfectly decorated. Pretty furniture. Newly renovated and clean. Air Conditioning. It could not have been more perfect. You will not go wrong by choosing to have your bridal party or guests stay here.
