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.

I can gush for days how wonderful RSVP was to work with for our wedding catering. From the beginning speaking with Casey on the big picture, to working on the small details with Alexandra, the duo was a delight to work with through it all. You know that Alexandra must work on over a hundred weddings throughout the year, but when it’s your turn (whether for the tasting, pre-wedding coordination, or day-of), she gives you her total attention and dedication, making your event feel like the most important. Compliments must go to the chef for stunning food, to the servers who worked tirelessly to serve our plated dinner in a small intimate space (without much room to maneuver!), bartender keeping up with our guests’ drinking needs, and Alexandra/Select for making it beautiful. Every person we came by that worked with RSVP was kind, friendly, and wanted to do a great job. It was felt in every moment of our wedding.

Eat & Smile Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves California, MD

A veteran of DC's fine dining community, Oliver started Eat & Smile Catering in 2007 to help bring local sourcing and sustainable practices to DC's catered events. He strives to build every wedding menu specifically to the tastes of each couple blending their culinary heritage and tastes to make their menu as unique as their wedding.

Oh wow, finding a food vendor for our banquet hall wedding was the hardest part of planning! We had tastings with two other vendors and had reached out to probably 10 others before we got to speak with Oliver at Eat & Smile. The first two tastings were a disaster, and we were feeling despondent! But from the first conversation with Oliver, we had hope! His whole approach to fresh, farm-to-table food is refreshing and delightful. He tries to keep his business as green and sustainable as possible while also keeping taste and experience at the forefront. And he's really awesome to work with. He knows this industry inside and out and is so helpful when helping you understand how much of everything you need and what not to spend your money on and stuff like that. And the food...the food is impeccable. So delicious. And he tries to make sure that it tells your story. He wants to know if you have a favorite snack or spent a year abroad and liked a certain treat from that country. He'll work it in some way. It's amazing. He makes your menu personal to you as a couple, not just some bland chicken and overcooked steak. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the food was and how different our choices were (we offered pollo guisado, which is Dominican stewed chicken, with black beans and rice, or shrimp and cheesy grits for the two main dishes). I can't recommend Eat & Smile enough!!

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!

Vow & Vine LLC was created from a lifelong passion for cooking, designing, and bringing ideas to life by hand. 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. My aesthetic and vision were shaped early on through a deep connection to alternative music and the culture surrounding it. That influence is woven into Vow & Vine's signature style-dark, romantic, and visually striking. It allows us to create experiences that feel unique and personal, especially for those who don't resonate with traditional events.

I had an incredible experience working with Vow & Vine LLC from start to finish. Kelsey was super down to earth and responsive to every question I threw her way, making the planning process feel effortless. 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.
