"By Hand, With Heart" Hospitality

At JAM Hospitality, we create events that seamlessly blend handmade cuisine and exceptional hospitality in unforgettable settings. “By hand, with heart” is our deepest core value and it informs all that we do, from crafting dishes that are delicious and delightful to delivering warm, thoughtful service. We believe that true hospitality is about building quality and connection, in every detail, to make people feel comfortable, happy, and taken care of.

UNFORGETTABLE SETTINGS

Celebrate in Places
That Matter

JAM is an exclusive event partner at seventeen distinctive venues, most owned by organizations pursuing their own worthwhile social, cultural, and environmental causes. Your venue rental fees support these organizations and their various missions, from protecting vulnerable lands and species, to preserving historic architecture and open spaces, to promoting the arts and culture.

What an unforgettable night celebrating the official launch of Jeffrey A. Miller Hospitality Group at the stunning Curtis Arboretum! ✨

It’s amazing to think it all began 45 years ago—as a small bed & breakfast catering service started in the dorms of the University of Pennsylvania. Who would have imagined the journey ahead? While JAM Catering will always be part of our story, we’ve grown far beyond catering alone.

Today, JAM Hospitality Group brings event design, venue management, rentals, in-house florals, and so much more, all working together under one roof to create unforgettable experiences. We’re also excited to introduce our new airline catering division, Sparrow (@sparrowcuisine). Plus, with 17 venues already part of JAM and more on the horizon, there are exciting announcements coming very soon! 👀

A huge thank you to our incredible JAMily whose dedication and passion fuel everything we do. And to the amazing event professionals and clients who’ve believed in us and supported our growth; this milestone is as much yours as it is ours!

Finally, thank you to the talented event professionals who helped bring our vision for this celebration to life.

Nothing but happy campers at Stardust 2025✨ Set beneath the sweeping skies of Bryn Coed Preserve, this open-air celebration brought all the charm of day camp reimagined with Charleston-inspired favorites. Think grilled oysters over hardwood charcoal, Carolina pulled pork and jackfruit sandwiches, and southern fried chicken with crispy fried oyster mushrooms.

The evening celebrated @natural.lands mission to save open space, care for nature, and connect people to the outdoors. It is a reminder that slowing down to enjoy the outdoors whether it is camping, hiking, or simply soaking in the fresh air is what inspires us to protect it.

The veggies have entered their main character era. 🌟 Our Roasted Garden Station is a cornucopia of grilled, braised, and roasted whole vegetables served with an assortment of bold, flavorful accompaniments. Think balsamic-kissed onions, ricotta-stuffed acorn squash, sage-brushed butternut, parmesan-topped cauliflower, golden beets, and more, each bursting with flavor and color. Proof that veggies don’t just play a supporting role, but can be the star of the show!
