C&J Catering at Mecum Auctions in Harrisburg

The C&J Catering team joined Mecum Auctions in Harrisburg at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex this year, helping fuel the multi-day collector car event. Thousands of car enthusiasts, bidders, and media crews attended, and our team was there providing food and drinks for staff, media, VIPs, and guests.

We’re proud to support events like Mecum that bring our Harrisburg catering services to a national stage.

Serving Every Corner of Mecum

Mecum Auctions keeps several groups moving at once, and our catering team provided meals and drinks across the venue:

  • Staff Meals: Buffet-style meals for about 250 Mecum staff each day, keeping the behind-the-scenes crew energized.
  • Media Meals: Individually packaged meals for Mecum TV and media teams to grab quickly between filming.
  • VIP Gold Bidders Lounge: Snacks, drinks, and a VIP bar with complimentary draft beer and wine, plus liquor available for purchase.
  • VIP Kitchen: Restaurant-style service with a C&J twist for a relaxed, sit-down experience.
  • Concessions: Classic favorites for the thousands of attendees exploring the auction floor.

Behind the Scenes of Multi-Day Catering

Events like Mecum Auctions show how our C&J Catering team can manage different service styles in one place. Staff meals, VIP dining, concessions, and media service all happen at once, so organization and timing are key.

The VIP kitchen was a highlight for our team this year, offering a fun, restaurant-style experience for guests. It gave our staff the chance to try something a little different while keeping the event moving seamlessly.

Proud to Be Part of the Action

Mecum is a perfect example of how C&J Catering in Harrisburg supports large-scale events with flexible, reliable service. Our team worked hard to make sure everyone—from staff to VIPs—was fed and refreshed throughout the event.
