“From our first phone call through our face-to-face meeting with ArTeA Restaurant, they were easy to work with and genuinely nice to talk to. They stayed in touch through emails and calls to make sure everything was perfect leading up to our baby shower. We got to sample their food before committing, which gave us confidence they could deliver, and they handled our dietary requirements without any issues. On the day of the baby shower, they arrived on time and kept everything clean and presentable throughout the reception. The food looked beautiful and tasted incredible, and the whole team made sure all our expectations were met. We'd absolutely recommend ArTeA Restaurant to any couple looking for professional, high-quality catering.”

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!”

All it took was two people who fell in love with each other, food and feeding people!

Their eclectic menu is designed to fit the needs of their clients and their guest. Catering services include Pick up, drop off, food truck catering, full service traditional catering, and now a full service event venue. In July of 2025 their business had come full circle. The Sugar House wedding and events venue. A beautiful venue that allows for full wedding service from ceremony to reception. This beautiful space allows the clients to have both an indoor and outdoor experience for their event.

“From our first conversation, Plum Caterers impressed us with how thoughtful and thorough they were about understanding our vision. Chef Angie listened carefully to what we wanted and offered smart suggestions that made our menu feel both elegant and personal. On the day of our wedding, the food was plentiful and delicious—honestly, it exceeded what we expected. What really stood out was how Chef went above and beyond by providing tablecloths, decorations, utensils, garnishes, ice, and cups for drinks, which filled in gaps we hadn't even thought about. Their team stayed in touch throughout the planning process and showed up as true professionals who cared about making our day special. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience.”

Pizzeria Henderson is a mobile pizza caterer based in Charlottesville, serving weddings and private events across central Virginia and the Blue Ridge.

We bring a brick oven imported from Italy to your venue and bake extra-large 18-inch pizzas on site, served buffet style. Packages include your choice of pizzas, with add-ons like a fresh salad and a drink station, plus vegan options and gluten-free crust for gluten-sensitive guests.

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.

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.

“My husband and I used to get dinner at the Local when we attended UVA and dreamed about having them caterer our wedding. Once we started touring venues around Charlottesville, we kept hearing about how great they were to work with and knew that we just had to make it happen. They were our favorite restaurant and now they're our favorite caterer! The food was fantastic - our friends still haven't stopped talking about the mashed potatoes - and the team was very helpful during the tasting and while we went back and forth on what we wanted to serve, it was hard to choose between all the yummy options! We also used their coordination services and are unbelievably happy with Helen and all of the staff that helped make our day possible. Helen was a lifesaver and was so easy to rely on to get the job done! We knew we needed a strong coordinator since we were planning our wedding from out of state and she stepped up whenever we needed help, even being on site while vendors came to set up days prior since we could not be there. On the day of, she handled everything so gracefully, like our reception power being out, and made sure we only knew what was necessary as not to stress us out! She even brought over our specialty cocktails and a tray of our apps during cocktail hour! All of the Local staff were pleasant and did a great job setting up the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception areas - it was just as we envisioned. I really can't say enough about Helen and the Local, they made our dreams reality and helped us so much in the last few weeks, I don't know what I would have done without them. Their professionalism, quality, and reliability cannot be beat!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“We loved working with Simply Fresh for our Torpedo Factory wedding. Brittany and her team were great with communication. All of our guests loved our food. I loved that Simply Fresh was flexible with us using other vendors such as Andy's Pizza for Late Night food and ordering homemade Pop Tarts and our wedding cake from M B Bakery. The catering staff was extremely gracious to not just the married couple, but all of our guests. They immediately responded to feedback when I wasn't a fan of the first signature drink they gave me and made sure all of the following drinks were perfectly stirred. One of the main reasons why we chose Simply Fresh is that they have a Virginia liquor license and were able to guarantee that our bar would not run out of alcohol. I think one of the best things about working with Simply Fresh is when we went to Select Rentals to pick out our linens/china/decor, etc. for the wedding they were very mindful about our budget and gave us guidance on what were the best items to use to give us an elegant feel to our wedding without breaking the bank. Given that the food and dance floor (fueled largely by alcohol) were such highlights for our guests at our wedding, we have Simply Fresh to thank in playing a large part in our big day.”

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.”

We had a wonderful tasting in the months prior, with full plating and presentation, welcome Champagne, and even a reserved parking spot. They carefully accounted for all rental selections and allergy restrictions, ensuring no detail was overlooked. On top of this, the dinner was held in quite a narrow arbor, making for a more challenging service. Once again- not a single detail was missed and the team handled any obstacle with ease. And most importantly, the food was incredible- they listened carefully to our vision, proposed a tailored menu, and brought it to life in the most perfect way possible.

Designing, creating and developing a special event is my passion. I love what I do and feel excited and lucky everyday to work in the industry. I have been in the special events industry for over 17 years. The years spent supervising events has provided me invaluable knowledge of design, event timing, event management, logistics and immense respect of partners in the industry. There is nothing more gratifying than embracing my creative spirit and turning others visions and dreams into their reality.

“Classic Catering really helped to make our wedding so spectacular! Sandy was always quick to respond and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process, really helping to make sure every detail was well thought out and just perfect. The food options were so great, and our guests loved all the food and drinks throughout the night. Norma and the entire team the day of ensured all the details were executed beautifully and did an incredible job being on top of everything. We highly recommend the Classic Catering team!”
