The Local Restaurant & Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
Charlottesville, VA

    The Local is a full-service catering company that specializes in weddings, social gatherings & corporate events. Grand or intimate, focused on tradition or leaning toward trendy, your vision along with our capable guidance will reflect your personal style. Our staff is committed to details, offering unique options, bringing creativity and passion to the planning process.

    We cannot recommend The Local - both the restaurant and their catering team - highly enough! We got married on November 1 at Eastwood Farm and Winery in Charlottesville. The Local's catering services were exceptional from start to finish and truly elevated our entire wedding experience. I had no idea how complex the catering process for a wedding could be, but The Local guided us through every step with ease. We opted for a sit-down dinner with grilled chicken, fried chicken, or steak, served with green beans and fingerling potatoes. The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, and perfectly warm when served, even on a chilly fall day! Our catering coordinator, Eleanore, was absolutely fantastic. From our tasting, to helping us select rentals through MS Events, to the final walkthrough at the venue, and being on-site the day of, she was thoughtful, organized, energetic, and genuinely fun to work with. Her experience showed in everything she did. Knowing that The Local had worked many weddings at Eastwood also gave us so much peace of mind. They knew exactly how the day should flow, and it showed, and they worked cohesively with our planner and venue staff. Eleanore and the entire team went above and beyond in every way. If you’re considering The Local for your event or wedding, do it. They’re an absolute standout.

    DAH Catering 
    Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
    Charlottesville, VA
    • Starts at $10,000

    Ashley and Carter East operate DaH out of their commercial kitchen near the Downtown Mall. They share a passion for local food and interesting cuisine from around the world. With 25+ years of catering experience, they bring the expertise required to execute events from the casual to the elegant. Ashley's training comes from working under a few of the finest chefs in Charlottesville, at some the best restaurants in area, such as The Clifton Inn and The Ivy Inn. She furthered her skills at the Cookery at the Grange in Somerset, England.

    DAH Catering was fabulous to work with at every stage of our pandemic-delayed wedding celebration and planning. I think that you learn a lot about who people are when things get tough. And what we learned about Ashley and Carter as we *twice* had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid is that they are incredibly kind and compassionate people who cared about us as people and not just as clients. They would earn my unreserved recommendation for that alone. But in addition to being great people they are also consummate professionals and talented caterers. The food was delicious and the whole process of choosing our menu was very smooth, even when we had to change practically our entire plan a month out to better suit a smaller wedding. They handled all of the details of our rentals, so that all we had to do was go and pick out what we wanted. Everything during our event was smooth and seamless, so much so that we didn't have to think about it at all. The food looked great, tasted great, and was served quickly and on time. The bar service was particularly impressive, and Carter worked overtime with me to get our signature cocktails just how we wanted them. While we had many hiccups getting to and through our wedding day, it was nothing but smooth sailing with our entire catering service. I would recommend anyone getting married in the Charlottesville area to work with DAH Catering. You'll get great service provided by great people--we couldn't have asked for more!

    Harvest Moon Catering 
    Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
    Charlottesville, VA

      Hospitality is about creating a sense of place where everyone has a seat at the table. At Harvest Moon Catering we give consistent and thoughtful attention to details. We create your vision with a nod to seamless service, excellent preparation of quality food, for big and small events alike. We believe exceptional service as well as exceptional food should be a given, and train our staff accordingly.

      We used Harvest Moon for our wedding and I can’t speak highly enough of Mark, Sami (who was also our day of coordinator) and the team! They worked within our budget, were flexible with the menu and made the overall experience so easy. From the get go of wedding planning, I told my partner that the food and drink was the most important aspect, that’s what guest will remember the most I said. Harvest Moon absolutely delivered— so many of our guest complimented the food and service and still talk about it months later. If you’re looking for spectacular food and great service, Harvest Moon is the choice!

      L'etoile Catering 
      Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
      • Serves Charlottesville, VA

      We began serving Charlottesville with French and Virginia-inspired cooking at our restaurant, l’etoile, in 1993. Our catering business grew out of that experience, and out of our desire to take part in the celebrations, the rituals, and the ceremonies of people throughout the Central Virginia community. Catering allows us to reach, care for, and serve a larger audience, and to customize consistently excellent culinary experiences for our clients. We have a history of procuring the finest, freshest ingredients for the meals we create and serve, and access to those ingredients through relationships we’ve cultivated for more than 20 years.

      Awarded Best of Zola
      Vickie and Mark of L'Etoile made our wedding incredible from the moment we first started discussions with them. They were incredibly knowledgeable, knowing all of the important logistics that will matter during the day, caring, ensuring that all guests (and the married couple) were fed, and flexible, making changes with us as we moved through the planning process. The food was delicious and our tasting with Vickie and Mark was probably the highlight of our planning process. They worked with various allergies and dietary restrictions and made sure that the night flowed seamlessly. I also want to highlight that Vickie is incredibly kind and supportive of her staff, making sure that they were learning great skills in a supportive environment. As someone who has worked food service and catering before, seeing this made me feel even better about our choice to work with them.

We create handcrafted menus, elegant grazing tables, sophisticated plated dinners, and distinctive Persian-inspired offerings using premium ingredients and meticulous attention to detail.

      I hired Liliere for my wedding as both my wedding planner and caterer, and I honestly cannot recommend them enough. I’m not easily impressed, and picking vendors was probably one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning for me. I’m a perfectionist, I overthink everything, and I have a hard time making decisions, so finding a team I could fully trust was a big deal. They made everything feel so much easier. They were organized, thoughtful, patient, and truly cared about every detail. The planning, the food, the setup, the flow of the day, everything came together beautifully. I felt like I was in good hands the entire time, which meant so much. I would hire them again and again without thinking twice. They were one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, and I’m so grateful for everything they did.

Between the two of us, we have over 20 years of hospitality industry experience. Let us wow you with the amazing wood-fired deliciousness that comes out of our 100% wood fire oven! It is “Love at First Bite” we can promise you that!

        I can not even begin to express how grateful I am for Melissa & Jay and their wonderful crew. Besides choosing the groom, this was the BEST decision we made for our wedding :) The food was absolutely amazing, such good service and quantities our guests were raving and full! They were so incredibly thoughtful and intentional about taking care of our guests (getting my sister in law with a newborn food and taking care of her, making sure the groom and I were fed and had drinks, taking care of my elderly guests etc etc) they went ABOVE and beyond. Our wedding coordinator last minute got sick and I was absolutely worried about everything, they came early on the wedding day and I trusted Melissa, she absolutely ensured everything was what I dreamed of. If you are looking for a thoughtful and incredible catering, look no further I would choose them again in an instant. ️ the absolute best we will be searching for their events to visit them again.
