RSVP Catering 
Rating: 4.8 (13 reviews)
  • Serves California, MD

RSVP Catering promises to bring your dream wedding to life with a harmony of flavors that create a lasting impression. Our exquisite attention to detail, flawless execution and imaginative cuisine make every wedding experience as unique as the couples themselves. Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for making us part of your special day.

Melissa and Casey and the rest of the team at RSVP were wonderful to work with! We ended up needing a few tastings because my husband and I have certain dietary preferences and RSVP went above and beyond to accomodate those while also making us feel like we had options that were well thought through and delicious! We eat mostly plant based and while most caterers had made us feel like this was difficult and they could not accomodate this, RSVP offered us numerous options and the capability to modify anything we wanted. It was such a wonderful experience and the food turned out incredible! We also had a few signature drinks and Melissa gave us excellent feedback and helped us really understand what amount of alcohol and other items we should be providing so that their bartenders could give our guests the best experience possible. All of the drinks were absolutely delicious and excecuted perfectly! We had so many fun details like late night french fries with vegan aoili and espresso maritinis and our guests raved about this!! Casey started off as our point of contact and she was fabulous but had to step back for personal reasons and Melissa stepped up and did a fabulous job executing everything that Casey and I had discussed! It was a seemless transition and Casey and Melissa's professionalism is certainly to be admired on a team. I also want to mention the staff at RSVP, the waitstaff and bartenders were lead by a Lead Server that also was at our tasting and he executed our vision beautifully. He knew our dietary needs and ensured we had ample food options on our table at all times while making sure that we weren't given things we couldn't eat on accident. The staff were incredibly kind, hard working, and professional. I highly recommend RSVP for both their excellent teammembers and their delicious plant based and non-plant based food options!

Almost everyone could eat almost everything! The tasting was so easy to book and we tried everything on the menu we wanted to try. It was so hard to narrow down the dishes, because everything was so good. We were also able to do non-alcoholic passion fruit mojitos at our reception, which were a big hit with the guests. Unlike other wedding caterers that nickel and dime you, Rupa Vira insisted on making everything easy for us and worked with our coordinator to set tables, serve beverages, and make sure our guests were taken care of. We seriously could not have asked for a better caterer for our wedding. Don't think twice, book Rupa Vira!

What began as a love for creating-whether in the kitchen or through carefully curated details-grew into something much greater: a business built on intention, creativity, and connection.

She put her whole heart into making sure every detail of our wedding food was exactly how i wanted it, and it showed on the day of the event.
