Zeffert and Gold Catering was an exceptional choice for our wedding. Their communication style was consistently clear, detailed, and professional throughout the entire planning process. When we had a last minute change in catering, they easily stepped in and made the transition seamless. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the food was absolutely delicious and their team worked incredibly well with all of our other vendors. They even prepared a special tray of apps and our signature drinks for my husband and I so we could take a few moments alone after the ceremony to decompress, and continued to provide drinks and food as needed throughout the entire night.

Helgas helped bring my vision to life after another (more expensive) caterer told me it was not possible. We did a Made To Order pasta bar experience and it was exactly what I had envisioned. There were multiple chefs crafting dishes at a time so things went smooth and quick and the food was absolutely delicious. It tasted exactly the same as it did at our tasting and we got everything what we wanted from the quality of the food to the beautiful display. The only picture I have is from the tasting because I’m still waiting for pictures but it was an incredible experience from start to finish.

Putting on the Ritz catered our wedding and their food was so good! I worked with Mila and Mindy during the process and thoroughly enjoyed working with them! Guest enjoyed the food (especially the Hors d'oeuvres—those meatballs and cheese/bean quesadillas were gone so quickly lol) ! There was plenty to go around though. And the guests loved the assorted cupcakes (the cake was provided by someone else) and bartending services! There were was internal changes with staffing over the time we hired them to the wedding day, but that did not create any issues. It seemed they had a smooth communication system and everything we agreed on during the tasting was exactly what we had at the wedding. No mistakes, no miscommunications, and any questions that needed clarity were asked and confirmed to myself and my event coordinator. They were timely, their staff was attentive and helpful, were reasonably priced, and they provide all the table clothes, china, silverware/utensils, and drinking glasses (all included and customizable). I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an event caterer in the area!

Genesis Delight Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
Lorton, VA
  • Serves Maryland

Our highly experienced design team is ready to help you create the wedding of your dreams. Choose from our fully inclusive wedding packages or request a custom menu and designer touches to best fit your vision. In addition to our delicious and unique cuisine, our team can also assist you with vendor referrals, rentals, linens, place settings, beverages and event event coordination.

We worked with Genesis Delight Catering at the recommendation of our venue manager at Sweeney Barn. We formed a close working relationship with Dianna over the course of wedding planning, as we also contracted her as our day of coordinator through her event planning business, Sublime Event Coordination. GDC and Dianna have a strong working knowledge of Sweeney Barn and close working relationships with the venue manager, which makes them a great option if you're having your wedding there. Pros of our experience with GDC: -They have an extensive menu and are willing to be flexible to match your vision. My family is predominantly located in New York, and New York weddings tend to have very over the top cocktail hours. That was not common in the standard packages offered by the caterers we spoke to in Virginia. However, through the use of their extensive party platter options and Dianna's expertise, we were able to add more into the cocktail hour than the standard options and still stay within budget. It wasn't a New York cocktail hour, but there were plenty of options and no one went hungry. -GDC provided the bar (which honestly wasn't overly expensive and saved us the pain of having to coordinate bringing our own alcohol, which no one wants to deal with on the day of their wedding) and worked with us on identifying signature cocktails that could be batched by their bartenders based on our preferences. They also worked with us to swap out some of their standard wine and liquor options to similarly priced items that we enjoy. -Sweeney Barn only has a warming kitchen, and we appreciated Dianna working with us to ensure that we could still have a small dance set at the start of our reception without impacting the quality of the food. -GDC works directly with rental companies, saving you the trouble (we rented Chiavari chairs), and they have nice complementary table setting options. Props to Dianna for identifying a floral napkin option in stock to fit with our overall decor theme! -Staff made sure the bride and groom were taken care of at all times, which was a really nice touch. We received many compliments on the food, including the presentation of entrees at dinner. Strongly recommend GDC, especially if you're working at one of their frequented venues like Sweeney Barn, to make your planning and execution as seamless as possible.

I’m basically speechless. This company is truly so amazing! They made all my wedding dreams come true and they are top notch with service ensuring my husband and I were taken care of! Always ensuring we have a drink in hand and snack or meal when and if needed! They took care of us in EVERY ASPECT! Even to the point I was able to walk down the aisle and the manger on site from simply fresh that day noticed my pocket of my wedding dress was sticking out so I was able to fix it before going down the aisle, so glad she told me because my pocket sticking out in all the photos of a once in a lifetime moment would have really not been great! They have incredible communication from before you book, after you book the tasting and just being flexible for meeting and walk through! The food was incredible (like seriously INCREDIBLE) and they ensured EVER single detail was exactly as I dreamed! I really am so happy I booked with simply fresh and would over and over 100 times again!!! If your unsure about to to book with for catering stop looking now and book simply fresh I’m the most sure you will not regret it! Wish we had some pictures of the food. All of the food was plated beautifully! Even our salad had eatable flowers! (I mean come on) and I really just could not have asked for anything more from simply fresh! For our cocktail hour we did crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms and bruschetta! For dinner we did a garden salad, a chicken option, a steak option and a veggie option they were all to die for! Like seriously people are still talking about how amazing the food was and our wedding was over a month ago.

Eat & Smile Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Washington, DC
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Maryland

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!!

Dedicated to delivering couples and their guests a unique experience, we provide equal parts culinary expertise, attentive service and artful presentation. Backed by decades of experience, The Classic Catering People brings your wedding dreams to life!

Your guests will leave full and happy. The food is AMAZING. We had people coming up to us and our parents on wedding day asking who catered. We had a lot of vegan and gluten free guests and Classic made sure that they had just as many options as those without the restrictions. Our vegan friends who are used to just picking at salads at every wedding couldn't stop talking about how good everything was, and how they could actually eat it! We worked with Georgetta who helped us at every turn. She made everything perfect and did so much for us, from the time of our first tasting to the very end of the big day. She answered every question and every single email. She was always quick with it and always encouraged us to ask as many questions as we needed to, to feel confident in the process. She worked with our budget and made everything come out better than we could have ever imagined. Classic's wait staff and bartenders were also incredible. My husband requested specific gluten free beers because of an allergy and not only did they pull through with it, but they also poured him one for dinner before he even had to ask. They did the same for me with my favorite cocktail! We felt like A-list celebrities all night. The food is delicious and beautifully presented, and their attention to detail is unmatched. Go to your tastings and give honest feedback! They will make everything exactly how you want it.

Tawney was there for all of our minor revisions, add ons, tweaks, tasting, final walk through, last minute dance floor additions, and after we walked down the aisle. Her staff were exceptional. Drinks were waiting for us after the ceremony, and one of the staff was dedicated to us as the bride and groom through out the night to make sure we ate!!! I really cant compliment them enough.

Appetites by RJ offers a full-service catering experience designed to delight your guests and elevate every occasion. From sophisticated weddings and corporate galas to cozy private dinners, our team blends refined technique with genuine warmth. With menus that range from homestyle comfort to exquisite modern cuisine, we turn food into an experience worth savoring.

From the moment we reached out to them for a consultation to the end of our wedding, working with the Appetites by RJ team was a calm blessing in the flurry of wedding planning. They were always extremely responsive, kind, flexible, professional, and warm. We are a queer couple and they treated us like family from the beginning. Most importantly the food was AMAZING. Our guests are still talking about it, especially the mac and cheese and cornbread. We also hired them as our bartending team, and they did a great job with that as well. On wedding day, everything went without a glitch, and they made sure us as the wedding couple were fed and provided drinks throughout the night, so we actually got to really enjoy their delicious food. Highly recommend! Pictured: us digging in after our first dance!
