I had THE BEST experience with Ashling. My wedding was a couple days ago and from the very beginning, Karla and Yasaman were amazing. As a first time bride with a 4 month timeline there was a lot to think about. Karla got me organized so fast. The staff on-site for the actual wedding were just lovely. So friendly and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Ashling for their professionalism, experience and expertise, and collaborative nature.

Ashling was so wonderful to work with! They knew our venue inside and out, specially curated a menu based on what we were looking for, and executed everything flawlessly. When we went for our tasting you could tell how passionate their chef is, and Karla made everything run like a breeze!! If you’re considering booking them, just do it.

Karla and the team at Ashling are truly, I believe, the best catering team out there. They went so absolutely above and beyond for our wedding. The food was incredible, the bar ser...
vice was great. The cake was to die for (lemon raspberry, trust me). We had so many guests come up and say how much they loved the catering.
But even beyond being the best at what they do, Karla and her team clearly care so much about making sure your day goes according to plan. We had a DJ completely no-show. This was in no way Karla's problem or her fault. But she jumped into action immediately, getting on the phone and calling people, finding a bluetooth speaker, basically being our day of coordinator.
I told people before the event the catering was the one thing I wasn't worried about. After speaking with the Ashling crew, I was absolutely confident that the venue could burn to the ground on our wedding day and they would find a way to make sure our guests were fed. And while our venue thankfully did not light on fire, I was so absolutely correct that they would immediately jump in for any crisis that happened.
Seriously, stop reading this review and give them a call. If you're lucky, they're available on your date. If they're not, maybe change your date?? Because you cannot find a better caterer, not just in the DMV, but anywhere in the country. We love Karla and the Ashling team!!!

The catering team at Ashling was absolutely incredible. We truly cannot recommend them enough.
First and foremost, thank you to Karla and the entire Ashling team for helping make ...
our wedding day truly perfect.
From start to finish, the experience was flawless. The food was outstanding, the service was exceptional, and everything was executed seamlessly. We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the food was, which came as no surprise to us :)
Karla was an absolute joy to work with from day one. She immediately understood our vision and provided us with the perfect menu options right from the start...we only changed one item! When we requested a change to one of our appetizers choices, she was quick to make it happen!
Her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care made the entire planning process stress free and enjoyable. Every message/email was met with a quick and friendly response, and a willingness to help in any way that she could. Working with her really allowed us to relax and know that everything was in good hands on the catering side.
One of the most impressive parts of the day was how smoothly everything ran. Seeing Ashling work alongside our other vendors, felt like seeing a team that had done this together for years. The coordination was effortless, and the day could not have gone any better.
We are beyond grateful to Ashling for being such a big part of the best day of our lives.
If you are considering them for your wedding or event, look no further. They are truly exceptional.

ecifically Karla, who was absolutely lovely to work with.
She was especially helpful with the specialty drinks we wanted, helping us figure out the best way to go about it (we wanted specialty drinks that could be mocktails and cocktails), how to organize it, what materials we needed, etc. Karla removed a lot of confusion from the whole equation!
Karla was also very flexible with the food itself, and was focused on making sure we were happy with every element of the food throughout the evening. Any change we wanted to make at the tasting was met with an easy, "of course!"
Additionally, I had a cookie table at my wedding that my aunt put together, and Ashling was so helpful in figuring out the logistics and helping to refill the cookies throughout the evening.
I definitely recommend Ashling, they were fantastic!

So many of my guests have told us they loved it and it wasn’t outrageously expensive like some of the other quotes we received. Even if we didn’t like the food, I would tell anyone to hire Ashling simply to get the chance to work with Karla.

Ashling was absolutely incredible top-to-bottom! Exceptional service and quality at a completely reasonable rate. So many options - all of them fantastic - from A to Z including ap...
petizers/cocktail offerings, dinner, and dessert. Their cake options were also incredible and they delivered us a fully customized (and delicious) cake with no hassle to be had.
I want to give a particular shout out to Karla. My fiance and I had never planned any major event - let alone a wedding - and to all you prospective planners out there I know how overwhelming it all must seem. Karla was so responsive and engaged from the very first email I ever sent her and her professionalism and warmness combined with what Ashling has to offer was absolutely fundamental to our ultimate choice in caterer for our wedding.
And then came the tasting! We went not really knowing what to expect but we certainly didn't expect to feel the total relief about every aspect of the wedding that we felt afterward. Karla had EVERYTHING mapped out. We walked out of that tasting not just knowing the food for our wedding would be delicious (and it was) but we had a timeline in hand, a map of exactly how our venue would be set up, clear direction on how each major part of the reception would flow - it was incredible. Karla made us feel we were in such expert hands and she absolutely delivered and then some.
My wedding day is going to live on forever as one of the happiest and most beautiful days of my life and Karla and Ashling were a huge part of making that possible. Do yourself a favor - book them today and breathe a huge sigh of relief!

edding day—everyone raved about it). We initially planned on saving money by going the buffet route, but it turns out a plated dinner with Ashling (including four passed appetizers and an added desserts display) was the best option pricewise! I really think the catering team set the tone for our wedding and just made it so beautiful; they followed every single request we had, down to modifying a single guest’s meal to be kosher. They even wrapped up all the leftover desserts (and the cake) for us to take home the moment we were ready to leave. I would highly recommend Ashling for your catering.

First off, the food is absolutely incredible! Our guests absolutely loved their mini-crab cakes and their other hors devours were huge...
hits as well! The Braised Beef Short Rib is exquisite and the Whiskey Glazed Chicken is to die for!
With Ashling, you get more than just excellent food, you get unbeatable service as well! Danielle and Stacy are fantastic catering directors and exceptional to work with! They are responsive, detail oriented, meticulously well organized, knowledgeable, and also just cool people to work with. They took time to get to understand our vision for our dream wedding and made sure to help make it a reality. Working with such amazing professionals took a lot of stress off our plate which is a HUGE plus when planning a wedding. We cannot thank them enough!
A few other things that set Ashling apart for us. 1.) They were hands down the most responsive caterer we contacted when we began this process. To us, this was huge because it helped us feel at ease knowing that we would have an attentive team down the stretch. 2.) They were the only vendor that offered us a free tasting before signing a contract. This gave us an opportunity to try their delicious food before putting money down and also made them the first vendor we spoke with (And really no one else came close after that). 3.) They let us provide our own alcohol. This helps with cost, but it also allowed us to choose the craft beers we wanted, which was important to us.
We 100% recommend Ashling for your wedding or any other catering event!

The Ashling cooking staff are gifted. The food they prepared was delicious and beautiful and fun. The catering staff transformed the venue in what felt like the blink of an eye into the setting we’d been dreaming of for over a year. And they were so hospitable and responsive as well. Every time I turned around someone was just ready to help. We’d recommend Ashling to anyone. They’re some really talented and nice folks working there.

Ashling was absolutely amazing for every step of our wedding journey. When we first found them, we read great reviews and their food looked delicious but my fiancé wanted to taste ...
it before we booked them. I told ashling that and they gave us a sample tasting which included cocktails and the most incredible food all while Stacey and Danielle spent the time answering questions and telling us what the wedding process would look like. We were blown away and signed the contract that day. I was a bit worried, as a gluten free bride, about what our menu would look like but they were so accommodating and being GF was no issue. We were blown away and signed the contract that day. I was a very detail-oriented bride and when I asked Stacey and Danielle questions or told them my pretty specific vision, they didn’t make me feel like a bridezilla but rather welcomed everything I said and took note of it. Communication was excellent! They didn’t just provide food for us, they made sure our day ran smoothly once they arrived and they covered every little detail beforehand with us. My family and friends, a month later, are still raving about the food and all of our vendors told us it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We didn’t want boring chicken and potatoes for our wedding and Ashling truly provided a memorable meal for us and our guests. Ashling set up our wedding beautifully (welcome table, bar, dinner tables, etc.), the food was delicious, and most importantly, we felt so taken care of on our wedding day.
I would recommend them a thousand times over! Thank you, Ashling for making our day perfect. We can’t wait to come back for dinner!

ng, we felt so confident in the team, and delighted with the food, that the decision to choose Ashling was easy. Throughout the year of wedding planning, whenever we had a question or idea, Stacy was quick to respond and if the answer couldn't be a resounding "yes" for any reason, she was quick to suggest alternatives that might meet our vision and our budget. They kept us on track with planning, helped us build a timeline and asked great questions on things that weren't on my radar at all, things that truly exceeded the responsibilities of caterer. They even used a different table rental vendor than they typically would, added on my special rentals (like the sweetheart table) to prevent me from having to pay two different rental company's delivery fees - truly above & beyond their scope! I had full trust in Ashling's team to execute on the day of and they went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were served, always had a drink in our hand and all in all happy. We couldn't have been happier with the food, the team or the experience with Ashling and would absolutely recommend to any couple! The chicken parm bites were our guest's favorite at cocktail hour! We can't wait to eat at Ashling for anniversaries in the future :)

They were organized, responsive, and they helped me through decisions that I didn’t know how to make! Which for a first time bride/event planner was a dream come true. The food was divine and the day of was a dream come true. I was also nervous about the location being remote/not having certain things available and Danielle and Stacy made me feel like everything was going to be OK and they’d do whatever needed to be done to make it all happen….and they did. We could not be more grateful to this team/company. They made our wedding day perfect.

We went the the food truck to cater our reception and served tacos and burgers. They made sure all my gluten free needs were met and helped us come up with the perfect menu! Stacy also helped me with getting a gluten free wedding cake that was so yummy! They really did make our day a breeze when it came to our food and set up. They handled everything for us and were THE BEST! We highly recommend going with Ashling!! And will definitely be making their restaurants one of regular our date night spots!

My wife and I got married over the weekend and used Ashling as our caterers. I cannot say enough amazing things about this company/restaurant/service.
From day 1, Stacy and Daniel...
le were on top of things completely, very kindly sending me reminders of when things were due such as headcount, payments, day of requirements, etc... which was very much appreciated during such a stressful period. The tasting was perfect and delicious and the chef even came out with the dishes to introduce it and explain the flavors and cultural elements of each.
The price was reasonable, especially for so many people and all of our guests were very impressed by the sophistication, taste, and presentation of the food. Additionally, one of the staff (it was a whirlwind but I want to say it was Danielle) made sure that we had plates of each dish at our sweetheart table before anyone else did!
The next part has nothing to do with food and everything to do with service. They set up the cupcakes station, they set up our complicated guestbook, they made sure that everyone was treated and served equitably and kindly and most importantly, they never asked us for anything day of. I was free to enjoy our special day and I am SO grateful that we went with Ashling for our wedding.
TL;DR - Hire Ashling if you're looking for innovative, delicious food, a dynamic and friendly staff, and a hardworking, dedicated team. They went the extra 15 miles for us and it made our event even more special and effortless.

We are so happy with how it all turned out and are so grateful to Danielle, Stacy, and the rest of the team for helping to make our wedding a beautiful and memorable event.
