Who We Are
We are parents. We are active members of our community. We are hard-working. We love to cook and we love to eat. We are caterers.
We are Lisa & Gilbert Verdiglione.

Born and raised in Everett, Pennsylvania, we were high school sweethearts who married early. We have one son, Tony, a college student adjusting to life away from home.

Gilbert’s a mechanic by training and works for the Turnpike. Lisa has an associate’s degree in accounting and is employed by Thomas Chevrolet.

As life-long residents of Bedford County, we’ve been involved in our community and continue to volunteer our efforts as often as possible. Although we are both employed full-time, our son’s going off to college and our love of cooking led us to consider opening our own business . . . Dreamers Catering.


About Dreamers Catering
For many years, our dream was to start our own business. Because we both enjoy cooking and entertaining, something with food seemed natural. We started roasting pigs for family and friends. After hosting a backyard party a few years ago, someone asked if we’d consider catering a company picnic. Naïve as we were at the time, we agreed to prepare a meal for 250! It was a hit.

Today, with more than three years under our belt, our family-owned business has grown to include catering services for all sorts of events from family and class reunions to anniversary parties and weddings.

We’ve been blessed with wonderful family and friends who have provided their help along the way and who continue to help make each catering event – no matter how large or small – a success. Friends have lent a hand by building customized roasters, setting up for events and helping to serve meals to our clients.

Both of our mothers have played significant roles in our success. Gilbert’s mom is an Italian immigrant with hundreds of family recipes to share. As with all authentic Italian cooking, Dreamers Catering has incorporated the practice of using only fresh produce. Lisa’s mom was a prep cook for two local restaurants for years, and has brought her experience of the restaurant business and cooking on a large scale.

Although he passed away in 1990, years before the birth of our catering business, it was Gilbert’s father who inspired the name Dreamers Catering. Every time Gilbert talked about owning his own business, his dad would say, “You’re such a dreamer!” We think he’d be proud now, as we know Lisa’s dad was until his recent death this year.

Experience Dreamers Catering – a reality, thanks to hard work and support from our family, friends and community.
