Jeffrey A. Miller Catering
Jeffrey A. Miller Catering started in 1980 as a brunch-in-bed school project by founder Jeff Miller, then a sophomore at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. While studying entrepreneurship during the school year, Jeff used his summers to train in some of the best kitchens in the world, working in New York, London, and a Michelin three-starred restaurant in the south of France. The creativity in presentation, emphasis on freshness, and attention to detail that made these restaurants great is what inspired Jeff to try to reinvent catering, abandoning an old style of boring, cookie-cutter banquet food in favor of vibrant culinary offerings with flavors from around the world. Although what started as a one-man band is today a thriving organization, this spirit of innovation continues to guide our kitchen and all aspects of the JAM experience. With over 500 weddings booked this year, Jeffrey Miller Catering has the honor of being the biggest and most upscale caterer in the Delaware Valley. Working in beautiful mansions, museums and arboretums Jeffrey A. Miller Catering has venues are all over the Philadelphia and its surrounding counties.
