“We have used Plan to the T for everything—from large weddings to baby showers and every special family moment in between. I also work closely with Tyanna on a professional level, and I can confidently say she and her team are simply the best. They consistently provide top-quality food made with fresh ingredients, and their staff is always friendly, professional, and incredibly hard-working. No matter the event, they go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly and beautifully. Tyanna, the owner, is well-versed in working with venues across the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia area. She shows up ready to work, bringing not only excellent food but also unmatched customer service. Whether it’s a large wedding, corporate event, or a private dinner party, her team can handle it all with grace and professionalism. Their menu selection is wide-ranging and fully customizable, which makes planning easy and tailored to your specific needs. Pricing is also extremely reasonable given the high level of service and quality you receive. Another standout offering is Tyanna’s Day-of Coordination services, which I highly recommend. It allows you to be fully present on your big day, knowing someone reliable and experienced is handling every detail behind the scenes. You truly can’t go wrong with Plan to the T—I know I’ll continue working with them for many events to come!”

“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 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.”

“Our experience with Simply Delicious Dishes was wonderful from start to finish. The owner, Arlethea, was incredibly professional, very accessible, and clearly knowledgeable about her catering services. The attention to detail in both the presentation and taste of the food was outstanding. The cocktail hour spread and buffet dinner display were beautifully arranged, and our guests raved about the delicious flavors of the entrees and iced tea. Simply Delicious Dishes truly helped make our wedding day special.”
