Creative Catering of Virginia

They even boxed up the remainder of my cake for me to take with me. It had actually started falling apart when it was cut and the Creative staff did everything they could to keep it together so the dry - cheap cake could be served to our guest. Don't skimp on the cake - we chose a cheaper cake priced at $1800.00 and now I wish we had spent the extra money. All I can say is thank you Creative Catering for not letting my guest see the cake falling apart

get go, the staff was easy to work with. Jennifer and I first started communicating over email about our favorite foods and types of cuisines. She promptly drafted a menu for us consisting of delicious passed hors d'oeuvre, salad, main entrees and sides. At the tasting, she was very accommodating and allowed my parents to accompany us. Everything was beautifully prepared and Jennifer took the time to explain each dish and how the flavors complimented each other. We felt the salad was missing just one thing and she knew exactly just the thing to make it perfect. At the end of the tasting, we knew Creative Catering was meant to cater the food for our wedding. We had only minor changes to the menu and the four of us were all equally blown away by the food and their willingness to make the menu reflect our favorite eats. After setting the menu, I worked closely with Jennifer on all the other details, major and minor. She understood the bride's attention to every aspect of the wedding and put many of my uncertainties to rest. She handled everything from place settings and napkins to ceremony chairs and high chairs. She was always only a phone call or email away to help me with various parts of the wedding planning. Alan from Creative Catering also conducted a site visit beforehand so that they can assess the facilities and let you know of any issues/concerns you may not have even thought about. This is their business and they are great at what they do! On the day of the wedding, we didn't have to worry about a thing, as it was all in Creative Catering capable hands. Alcohol was transported to the site for us as long as it was delivered to them at a designated time before the wedding. During the set-up, we had assistance with favors and LED lights placement. Right after the ceremony, they were there with our favorite alcoholic beverages and our very own hors d'oeuvre plate. The guests loved the cocktail hour complete with fruit/cheese platter and passed hors d'oeuvre. The food was served buffet style and our guests had plenty to eat. Creative Catering of VA even had a delicious doggie plate packed for us for the midnight cravings. For days after the wedding, my family and friends were still raving about the tasty eats like the corn cakes, short ribs, salmon, potatoes gratin and fresh vegetables to name a few. Choosing the caterer is a big decision and the hubby and I are glad we chose Creative Catering. They are the full package and were pivotal in making our wedding come together seamlessly for us and our guests. For any future events, we know exactly who we want to work with!

at our Venue could not have been better. Jennifer was effectively like a wedding planner, helping us determine rental orders (who from, how much, etc), where to place things, how the flow of the event should go, what had worked in that venue before and what hadn't (e.g. we decided that enjoying market lights for an hour wasn't worth the price of stringing them up), how much alcohol and other drinks to buy, and of course, what type of food we wanted, We had 2 tasting with Creative Catering and they were incredibly accommodating with scheduling since both my husband and I live outside of Hampton Roads. The first tasting was in late January, and I was not super impressed by the quality of food. (I was, however, really appreciative that they gave us a doggy bag so my sister could try it too). The second tasting was in May and it was amazing, some of the best food I've ever eaten, particularly the appetizers. Looking back, the first tasting may not have been as amazing because they use local, fresh ingredients and in January, the fruits and vegetables may not have the same quality. At the wedding, the food was excellent, especially the little appetizers. Unfortunately, like most brides and grooms, we didn't get to eat very much of the goodness, so Creative Catering will box up the extras and send it along with you. It was way more food than we could eat, but we were really appreciative for it. Neither my husband nor I care for cake, so we opted for just a dessert table with coffee and hot cocoa. However, JEnnifer really encouraged us to have a cake and the little chocolate tort was absolutely delicious. One of the best desserts I've ever eaten. If only I had some right now... Jennifer and the staff are excellent to have worked with, down to earth (we literally just hung out at their catering office for one afternoon just talking about plans and rentals and eating their jelly beans), calm under pressure, and perfectors of the art of food preparation. When we totaled the bill, they were not inexpensive but not expensive, and for the quality of their food, service, and hands-on help and preparation of the entire wedding event, I wished that I had hired Creative Catering at the very beginning of our wedding planning rather than waste our time (and much needed energy) with looking into other caterers and trying to figure out up from down in the wedding planning world. They were the linchpin and truly made our wedding come together, and we are so grateful to them.

their hands and even better. What I didn't anticipate was everything to go completely seamlessly and flawless. Every bride fears the worst and yet, I could not have a imagined a more fun, perfect and awesome wedding thanks to Creative Catering and their team. Jennifer & Alyssa were so on top of it, so attentive, so professional and just incredibly amazing. They both know what works and what doesn't but they had no problem compiling my millions of visions into one amazing wedding. My guests STILL rave about the food at our wedding. We did something really fun, food stations that represent different States that we lived in and Jennifer/Alyssa just made it work so well. Creative Catering is not pretentious, not crazy asshole caterers who nickel and dime you for the dumbest things. They are so down to earth, so on your level and will truly make your event or wedding MAGICAL. Whoever passes them up for another caterer in the area is mental. I would absolutely hire them for future events!!

st wines we could order that would pair well with his menu. But Creative Catering is much, much more than just a caterer. Alyssa arranged all of our rentals, walked through our schedule with us, and functioned as our day-of coordinator. We picked the family style menu, but she made sure to take special care of my grandparents so they wouldn't have to pass the plates. Without us asking, Angy also reached out to all the other vendors to coordinate cake delivery, flower set up, etc. She really went above and beyond what anyone would have asked of a caterer, and because of Alyssa, we were able to go without a day-of coordinator. We also particularly appreciated how thoughtful Alyssa was. While setting up before the wedding, a plate of cheese and fruit mysteriously appeared in the wedding party's room, which was very much appreciated by everyone. She also put up with all of our questions -- "what's the rain plan? do you have any table number holders?" -- cheerfully and patiently, and always knew the answer, which made us feel very confident that we were in good hands for our wedding. In short, Creative Catering was both friendly and professional, and we couldn't recommend them highly enough!

he ridiculous Hampton Roads wedding industry. In comes the breath of fresh air that is Creative Catering of Va. We had a great experience from day one. I am vegetarian and wanted to make sure we had great vegetarian options, while my mom was extremely skeptical of having a predominantly vegetarian wedding. Given tastings we had with other caterers within our budget, we had sort of resigned ourselves to "meh" food. At our tasting with Creative Catering (which was so fun!), we were completely blown away by the quality and freshness of the food, on par with great Hampton Roads restaurants. My mom became Chef Tina's biggest fan and couldn't stop raving. No more complaints from her about the vegetarian-friendly menu! Alyssa (the coordinator) was amazing-I had budgeted to possibly have a "day-of" coordinator but she was so on it that I ended up deciding not to have one (we had a friend who also volunteered as a point person). Alyssa coordinated everything with our venue and other vendors and took off a lot of stress. She was completely willing to work with my budget and to plan a beautiful meal. On the actual day of the wedding, the food was delicious. For appetizers, we had corn croquettes, handmade Beff Lumpia, and burrata bruschetta. For dinner, we had a plated beet and goat cheese salad, sides of quinoa salad and mushroom and brussels sprouts, entrees of stuffed poblano pepper with jerk sauce and seared cod, and a mini-dessert bar. We chose not to have a wedding cake, and they even threw in a delicious triple creme cheese for a "cheese cutting." All the servers and bartenders were very professional and helpful, and everything went so smoothly-we feel lucky that our friend found Creative Catering for us and can't recommend them highly enough.

ned out to be a blessing in disguise and that was pretty evident at the tasting. Creative Catering nailed every bite and Jennifer put us at ease when she explained how she would work with our other vendors to help us with the details. Since my husband is in the restaurant business, the food was our top priority for the wedding. As soon as the ceremony was over, I was pausing in between pictures to insure I could carefully eat some of the delicious hors d'oeuvres. From Jerk Chicken Meatballs and handmade Spanakopita to Ahi Tuna shooters and a heavenly bite of the Bacon Wrapped Scallops, the guests and bridal party knew early on they were in for a culinary treat. Our four food stations which included perfectly executed wild salmon and braised beef short ribs as well as International Cheeses and fire grilled prawn kebobs had our guests mingling and happily going back for more. Jennifer calmly helped me get through a couple other vendor bumps in the road leading up to the wedding and the catering staff worked effortlessly throughout the evening of our wedding. Creative Catering provided us with the gourmet yet casually elegant cuisine we desired. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out!

". Creative Catering were flexible with our food preferences and budget, and they worked well with the other vendors to provide a seamless experience. I am so so happy we came across them before choosing our wedding caterer--they were an absolute highlight of the night! You will not be dissapointed with their food or the temperature of it!

Catering clearly loves to cook, and even though we had a tight budget they really wanted to present us with options that we would love. They even added a bonus item onto our tasting menu because we had told Jennifer (our Coordinator at Creative Catering) we had tried a really unappealing short rib dish at our first tasting, and she couldn't let us think all short ribs were like that. When we left, there was no doubt in our mind that we were going to hire them, but we were seriously conflicted over which dishes to pick because they were all so good! Fast forward to the wedding, and the day-of food was amazing. We received rave reviews all night from our guests--including a friend who's a chef in RVA--saying it was some of the best wedding food they have ever had. Top dishes of the night were definitely the corncake hors d'oeuvres, brussel sprouts with bacon and wild mushrooms, and the milk-braised pork (if you're a pork fan, TRY THIS). Our guests were also blown away by the stationed hors d'oeuvres table, which was full of amazing cheeses, fruits and charcuterie. Sadly, I never got to see the full presentation b/c I was too busy talking with my guests, but they did prepare a small plate for me so I could at least taste everything =) We couldn't have asked for a better Catering company to handle our Wedding....

ith caponata, and a mushroom pasta. The flavors were delicious, and we've had guests come up to us after the fact to tell us how much they enjoyed the food. Guests raved about the fruit, nuts, and cheese, which we almost passed on. Alyssa and Lisa were so easy to work with. They coordinated with vendors, helped with our beverage order, and worked within our budget. Overall, they helped make our wedding the best day!

brides/grooms don't get to), and she made it happen. The wait staff had plates of appetizers waiting for us as we walked out of our ceremony before we went to take photos, and they served us dinner at the perfect time so that we could eat while other guests were going to the food stations. Also, we planned our wedding from afar, and Jennifer and Alyssa had no problem fitting in two tastings (one food, one dessert) for us during our brief visits to town in the months before our wedding. Creative Catering beverage service (where they accept your beverage delivery at their kitchen, then bring it all to the wedding for you, ready to serve) was a huge help. Lastly, Jennifer knew our venue really well and coordinated everything to do with the rentals directly with them so we didn't have to get involved. We can't thank Jennifer and Alyssa enough!

, dairy free, etc.). Creative created a delicious menu with a wide variety of choices, all within our budget. Their coordination was perfect and a huge help to us leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. Alyssa helped us think of and take care of every detail, from ordering dinner tables of different sizes to accommodate our seating chart, to remembering to rent heaters for the dinner patio. Creative Catering has an incredible combination of style with impeccable organizational skills.

eady removed from our table when we got back. Just didn't seem very professional.

but at my table, we were only served the cold plate of potatoes and steak. After we picked around on that to try to eat it, another person at our table noticed other tables had another plate of something. So when a server finally came back to our table, I asked if other tables had fish and vegetables. They said, "no, the other plate is chicke and vegetables." I said, "well, we didn't get that." So several minutes later, we finally got the cold chicken and carrots. I took one bite and had to spit it out. It was disgusting and cold. I feel bad for the couple who probably spent at least $30 a head for the dinner only to have people not even eat it because it was so terrible. Unacceptable on someone's big day!

gh. I can usually eat meat a little cold but not vegetables, especially potatoes. I am not sure what happened to cause this but hopefully creative catering did the right thing and took care of the family. I don't really know how to rate them. The presentation was very nice and again the food had a good taste, just cold. I guess for me I would consider hiring them for something on a much lower scale. A wedding is just too important and too big of a day for something to potentially go wrong like this. I hope Creative Catering gets to the bottom of this too so it doesn't happen again.

with their amazing team, they made the planning very easy for us to do, and even gave us great ideas and recommendations when it came to DJs and florist vendors. The price of the package was extremely reasonable, specially since it included the linens, china, flatware & glassware for the tables, seating for our 175 guests, and even dinner, which every one of our guests complemented! The food was just amazing! And finally the day of the event, walking in to the hall and looking at the beautiful table settings & buffet decorations they had made just put the cherry on top. Everything looked marvelous, everything was just how we had asked for it, and we seriously could not have asked for a better wedding than the one we had. Thank you Creative Catering Team, your absolutely wonderful, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication that you put into our event, we greatly appreciate it , you will be the only catered we ever use from here on!

nning, Jessica was responsive and an ease to work with. She was never more than an email or phone call away, always ready to listen, give suggestions/ideas, and most importantly to Make Things Happen! She was very accommodating to any ideas and changes. The Chef created a delectable meal that our guests still rave about. Post wedding, upon seeing friends and family, the first thing they complimented on was “THE FOOD!”. Guests have commented on every single flavor down to the seasonings on the vegetables and savory sauces on the meats. It’s quite a badge of honor when your guests are posting pictures of your wedding from your dress to your hor’dourves on social media. In addition, Creative Catering staff was professional and kind. At the end of the night, I inquired with the staff captain and she assured me that everything was covered and that there was nothing more I had to do but to simply enjoy. It was one thing to plan but to actually have the whole event come together was magical. On the actual day, along with my Day of Coordinator, Jessica and her team took absolute care in working through of all the details ensuring that we never had to hear/deal with any of the hiccups. How fitting that our wedding was curated by such a hardworking team of people. Many thanks to Creative Catering of Va Team!

ou give a bowl or plate for salad separate. We had to use the same plate for salad as your meal. From what I gather when there was a complaint made, they were very rude and did nothing to make up for their mistake! Poor customer service! This is a company I would not recommend!

ura always responded in a timely manner, if not immediately and always put me at ease. If one is throwing an event and wants an excellent full service catering, then hire Creative Catering of Va. I will definitely hire them again! Creative Catering of Va made our wedding day a special day. After reading the previous review - I couldn't disagree more - It goes to show you that some people just can't be pleased and it sounds like buyers remorse... ☺

The mashed potatoes were as cold as if they were taken right out of the refrigerator. The chicken and steak were just as cold. We are very embarrassed by this and feel we did not get the service we paid for! We were served the salad first and then the main course and weren't even given a clean plate. The main course had to put on the same plate with all the dressing still on it--very unprofessional! I saw one of our guests using his napkin to wipe the dressing off his plate so he could reuse it. The lead at our reception claims the food was served 15 minutes before the scheduled time so that may be why it didn't get heated enough--that was not our decision and we shouldn't have been served cold food because of it. She also claims the food was served warm and unless she actually tasted it then she has no clue what she is talking about. I can guarantee 100% that every single guest (Approx 135) will all say the food was extremely cold. One of our guest even said the vegetables tasted like a bag of frozen vegetables was taken from the freezer and dumped on the platter and served. Within 20 minutes of the cocktail hour starting there were no more crackers and when my husband asked for more he was told there weren't anymore! Nothing left but some cheese! Upon contacting Creative Catering I got nothing but excuses such as the breakers at the Winery kept tripping and we should've told them at the reception and they could've reheated the food. It would've taken all night to go around and reheat all that food and people had already started eating so there was no way you could take food from 135 guests and reheat it. We also did not want to cause this type of commotion on our daughter's big day nor should we have had too! We are appalled that we were given this type of service and not offered any compensation of any kind. Just a "sorry". This service was UNPROFESSIONAL and UNACCEPTABLE! Mistakes can happen and we totally understand that but be professional about it and make things right with your clients. That's what makes a good business and keeps people coming back...not denying and making excuses. We were offered nothing! I hope no one else has to go thru this. Weddings are not cheap and people should get the service they pay for or compensated if not!

sting would provide a pretty adequate representation of the food taste and quality. When we made a change to the menu she further accommodated our new selections with an equally palatable second tasting. Jennifer also was kind enough to work within the confines of our venues expectations. When they were unwilling to meet within the timelines that made sense for the event, she quickly changed plans to ensure we would be covered either way. Her positive energy made the whole experience a delight, and was ultimately the reason we decided to use CCVA over other competing caterers. Jennifer embodies the spirit of professionalism and going the extra mile is her norm. The reception itself was all but perfect. The staff ensured the wedding party would be able to munch before the event began by providing a tray in the bridal suite. They further served me and my husband first making a lie out of the many that foretold that we would likely not have a moment to eat on our wedding day. One tiny suggestion pertaining to the shrimp and grits. Make sure they are served in individual portions using "high quality disposables." That way every guest gets a taste of the goodies!!

We had family style dining and our guests were raving about the food - the Beef Wellington were especially delicious! We felt very taken care of throughout the night, the service was excellent and everything ran so smoothly. We cannot recommend Creative Catering enough!

been happier. Alyssa Stevens, our catering coordinator, did an outstanding job helping us select our menu and inviting us to a tasting prior to our making our final menu selections. We received countless compliments from our guests on how delicious the food was, and just as important, they commented on the courteousness and attentiveness of the staff. Everyone from the senior caterer in charge of our event to the bus boys made us feel as though they were catering to their own family. We highly recommend Creative Catering of Virginia to anyone looking for catering services for their event.

reat our food (especially the mashed potatoes) were. Becky made us feel like a priority, and worked with us on not only our vision for the food, but the whole feeling of the reception. Other than my photographers, I did not have any other vendors who were that diligent and caring about my event. CCOV even made a custom dessert bar setup for homemade desserts we provided, so that it would look nice and match the buffet dinner. It looked amazing! Best part-I now know that my father had called sort of last minute (after the cut-off for big changes) and added a s'mores bar to our reception as a surprise to me (lifelong Girl Scout and my fiance and I are camping enthusiasts). I know this must have been a big change to our overall order, but to my knowledge Becky and CCOV were more than accommodating and kept it as a surprise and my guests and I LOVED it. Becky-THANK YOU for everything!! I love that I didn't have to worry about the catering at all and felt so confident in CCOV, even when I had those "bride nightmares"-you were so reassuring! CCOV did a fantastic job!

amazing and the open bar kept our guests happy. We enjoyed the leftovers they sent home with us. Definitely check them out.

the wedding party appetizers while we were outside taking photos! I would choose Creative Catering a thousand times over! Worth every penny plus some. They went above and beyond what I expected. The fact that they brought their experience of catering wedding and applied it to my wedding made it so much better. They were flexible and listened to what we had envisioned and wanted. From start to finish they impressed me. And one last thing... GET THE MASHED RED POTATOES... the will change your life!

he bar too! We provided the alcohol and they provided mixers and bartenders. All of the staff was professional, friendly, and efficient. We have used them for other events (fundraisers) before the wedding and plan to continue using them in the future for many types of events.

g for a caterer, they were very responsive and gave a wide array of options. Ultimately, we chose to have a buffet style dinner for our 200 guests and a bar supplied by us. We paid approximately $30 per person, half price for children under 12, and free for under 4. We paid about $6 per person that would be consuming alcohol. During our first meeting, my husband and I were able to sample items from each course, and they were delicious. After that, every other detail fell into place, and many times it seemed just too easy. They were very methodical in asking us for details which helped keep me on track throughout the planning process. During the actual reception itself, the catering staff was very helpful with a few hiccups: 1) the crabcakes tasted a little saltier than our initial taste-testing, 2) we were missing linens on the sweetheart table, and 3) it was little difficult to get served dinner and refills for water from our table. Overall though, the staff was attentive, professional, and was very prompt in fixing any issues we had. I was also told that the bartenders did a great job in serving our guests. CCVA also did a great job in sticking to the timeline we had established and keeping the entire reception moving. I would recommend them to anyone and commend them on a great job!

helpful!

huge hit! Leading up to the day of the event I truly had full confidence in this company. In execution, however, some large things were not correct affecting our wedding day. The actual event time and the time they started trying to leave was different. This was a misunderstanding that should have been caught prior to the event. Regardless, it was handled poorly. The groom and MOB were contacted rather than the coordinator taking about 30 min. away from them which is so disrespectful. All for $250 which had to be paid immediately in order for them not to leave. In addition, there were other problems, not enough colored napkins, they arrived an hour and a half late for set-up (DIY wedding so this postponed everything else and added STRESS), not preserving the alcohol like discussed for returns if unused, the rolls were different than during our tasting, no silver chargers at the place setting (included in the price), items needed for the cocktail hour were placed in processional space so BP members had to quickly move so they were not in photos and in the aisle, the CCVA staff members took our personal table cloths with them until a family member realized and ran to find them. We still had a great time at our wedding but throughout the entire day these added stress which is never a good thing. If only a couple of these things would have happened, I would not have mentioned them but in total the sum of them was considerable enough for me to not be completely satisfied. Obviously with large events there are bound to be some problems or imperfections. With the amount of money we had spent and the time we had going over everything, I wish some things would have been handled in a better way.

ood at home and they gave us food for 4 guests! I loved working with Bonnie for my special event. Really perfect experience!

ests with food allergies. The staff was so helpful with setting up the tables and really went above and beyond to make sure everything looked like I wanted it to. Many thanks!!

y and really great to work with. Totally recommend!

tables they served were soggy and you could tell that they were frozen. The pasta was overcooked. The mashed potatoes were from a box and mixed with a few fresh potatoes. The meat was over sauced and sub-par. I feel like Golden Corral could have served us better food. For the 3 of us the tasting total came out to around $83.00. Seriously? For some box mash potatoes and frozen food $83.00. That is some serious highway robbery right there. I'm still in disbelief from all the good reviews from various websites. I just don't understand.

t the wedding. I would definitely recommend CCVA to anyone looking for good food at the best price.

were a few complaints though from some of our guests, including the fact that people's plates were cleared before they had a chance to finish their meal, which is probably also why there were no leftovers at the end of the night. We would have been glad to take any extra food home instead of having it wasted, especially since it was so good! Also, reportedly the same thing happened with people's drinks. And when we had our toast, no one gave me and the groom our glasses, so we weren't able to raise a toast with everyone else. Overall though, the food was absolutely delicious and was definitely a hit with all of our guests, they have such a variety of things to choose from.

nd CCVA is the preferred caterer there. It was nice to know that they had experience in the venue and that they knew exactly what they were doing there. It really was pretty seamless. You hardly even noticed they were there! I gave CCVA 4 stars instead of 5 only because my contact point changed so many times. It was difficult to know who to contact and, at one point, I was left without a contact point entirely! I didn't know that the girl who was supposed to be working with me had left, and I had a really hard time getting anyone to call or email me back. It made me very nervous! After Bonnie took over, however, things were MUCH more organized--and I'm really glad she managed my wedding instead of the other girls who were around at the beginning. I would definitely use CCVA again. My wedding went off seamlessly, and everyone loved the food!

s amazing. They were able to cook items not on their list, and the service was wonderful.

iend. Lisa was wonderful during our 2 week prior walkthrough at the venue even helping to design the layout of the room. We had 2 different tastings and each time the food was wonderful making it very hard for us to decide on the menu. The menu we finally decided on was FANTASTIC! All of our guests raved about the quality of the food and there was plenty of food for guests to go back for seconds (which MANY did). The catering staff was unobtrusive in gathering empty plates from guests and were quick to provide any needed service. They also took the time to focus on my husband and i to make sure that we had drinks in our hands and food on our plates! The bartending service was wonderful. We provided our own alcohol, but they made sure it was nice and chilled for guests. I would recommend Creative Catering of VA in a heartbeat!!

wedding menu until after I reached out to someone other than Amanda for help. There was a lack in customer service as I constantly had to contact the company for updates versus being contacted and reassured that everything was on track and the prices continued to go higher, including the service charge even though I had a small wedding and only appetizers. The food that was suppose to be hot was cold and my cake topper was broken. However, overall, the servers did a good job serving and cleaning up.

as very flexable with their on-site setup and did a fantastic job ready for the reception. The food was amazing, all of our guests raved! We would highly recommend Creative Catering.

For the sides, they did delicious grilled veggies and redskin rosemary oven potatoes. Their food was amazing, they were wonderful to work with and the service was great! I would highly recommend them!

up centerpieces, let us leave things for them in the catering kitchen, and did a great job decorating. Our price did change significantly but that was because we went from 150 guest to 70. Overall, they did a great job and I would use them again.

ing there would be two bars, one inside the reception and one out in the gazebos for cocktail hour. On the day of the event, it was set up with only a bar outside, however after minimal discussion, two bars were set up. Everything with food went smoothly, I would have preferred for the cake pieces to be left out longer than they were. I did have people tell me later they were unable to pick up cake because it was taken away too quickly. Clean up and set up was easy and the staff was helpful and courteous.

urant. Then we got to critique and make requests for how we wanted our meal tweaked (we wanted the steak cooked a little more for our guests). I am here to tell you that even though they were preparing for many more people the food tasted just the way we wanted it to include the minor adjustments. They were flexible and accommodated what WE wanted to happen and how it happened at our reception (there are people out there that want to make it theirs). The wait staff was courteous and professional. The table service was prompt and none of our guests had any complaints. Our friends and family raved on the flavors. If you are planning any special event check them out. You can’t beat the price and still get the same quality! (believe me I looked)

so yummy but the beef tenderloin with horseradish sauce was melt in your mouth delicious!!! My theme was butterflies and they even had butterfly shaped crackers! They were great to work with. We even got to do a food tasting which was so fun.

onal and attentive to myself and my husband as well as our guests. I would reccommend them to others.

Our food was delicious (sadly, like most brides, I didn't have a chance to eat much) but my guests RAVED about it. They offer you several bar choices - we opted for customer-supplied bar so we could keep our leftovers. (PS - Speaking of leftovers, CCVA boxes up your leftover food and sends it home with you - not a lot of companies will do that for you!) My only "complaint" (if you can call it that) was that the bartenders didn't know how to make our signature drink, and seemed a little flustered during the first part of the reception. Another bartender took over and everything was smooth from that point on. I was SO HAPPY with CCVA start to finish. Highly recommended :)

e of being less than a month away from the wedding and not having a caterer...We went to Creative Catering and they were SO understanding and flexible with us. They worked with our budget and our vision and the end result was incredible. The food was delicious and plentiful. The serving staff were friendly and polite. Wonderful experience overall!

and easy to work with, the food is EXCELLENT, and the servers at our reception were lovely, professional, and courteous. They arrived on time prepared, cleaned up quickly, and there were no problems at all the entire reception. We had a lot of compliments from our guests on the food. The front-end tasting and contract signing was easy and seamless, but I have to say that the month prior to my event we had some communication issues with the office staff because their email was not working, which was a challenge to my stress level, but everything worked out great in the end. I would definitely recommend this vendor for your catering needs.

re so nice and professional and boxed up all our yummy leftovers for us to enjoy later on! I would definitely recommend them!

r staff are amazing. My wedding day was outside in July and it started to rain. We could not set up the tables because they would get wet. I was not happy. Once the rain stopped, Creative Catering went to work, putting everything together- tables, chairs, table arrangements. It looked amazing and everything was so well put together. They worked so hard to ensure that my wedding was perfect. Hire them!

they were very attentive to every request that we had.

me. The service that my husband and i recieved was great. The caterers were very attentive to our every need. They made sure we wanted for nothing. I highly recommend them for any event. You will not be disappointed.

ave to my husband and I was fantastic! They made sure we got what we needed and had our table set for us nicely. The amazing service continued throughout the evening! I would strongly recommend them to anyone planning to cater an event or get married.

m for any event that you may have you will have great service from the beginning to the end.

erall, it was a good experience.

e discussed and chosen but they ended up being apart. I had to pay extra for things that should have been part of their basic service.

which was such a big money-saver!

ayers. We picked the plan, tasted the food and gave them a total head count and they did the rest. Provided linens, plates, cups, etc. It was a pleasure to deal with everyone. I could enjoy the evening and my only childs wedding with no worries. I recommend Creative Catering of Virginia for their caring and professionalism. You won't be disapointed.

2 months before my wedding I was informed she no longer worked there and had a replacement. In person, this replacement is very friendly, but through e-mails and phone calls she is not very personal at all. Oh, and have someone keep an eye out for your champagne glasses & cake serving set, as it can get lost in the commotion.
