“Plan it to the T was very responsive and always maintained a positive and upbeat attitude. She was very accommodating to our busy schedules and made sure to attend all of our visits with our venue to offer up ideas which helped us to have an amazing wedding. It was also a plus that she had worked with our venue before.”

“Garnished Gatherings was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, their communication was professional, impactful, and courteous. The team was clearly passionate about their work, and their friendly, creative approach made them a delight to collaborate with. The food they provided was not only delicious, but also beautifully presented. They even surprised me with a custom "adult lunchable" that was such a fun and memorable touch. We were thrilled with the value and quality of their service, and we'll definitely be using Garnished Gatherings again for our next family event.”

“From start to finish, Hausfrau Catering was a true pleasure to work with. Kristen and her team were incredibly proactive, organized, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, the quality of their work was exceptional - the food was absolutely delicious, beautifully arranged and displayed, and freshly prepared. Their team of support staff, from bartenders to servers and kitchen staff, were all incredibly attentive, kind, and professional. They even made sure my husband and I got to try a little bit of everything, despite our busy evening itinerary. Thanks to Hausfrau Catering, we had a truly unique and amazing wedding experience. I cannot recommend them highly enough!”

“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.”
