DAH Catering

Ashley and Carter are such good people and fun to work with! The food at our wedding was great (get the bruschetta!) and their staff was unbelievable. I am so thankful to all of their waiters, bartenders, and kitchen staff that helped my wedding run smoothly despite the rain! Ashley worked hard for me throughout our planning process to help me save money where I could, but was also always honest with me when things were “worth it.” I changed the menu multiple times and she was always accommodating and kind about it. Great team all around, I highly recommend them!

Food was excellent. Ashley was super attentive to details during the whole planning process. Catering staff (especially bartenders!) were fantastic and received many compliments.

We just had our 2 year reception after an early-covid marriage and I am still on cloud nine from how perfect DaH helped make our day. We hosted about 150 people. The food was fantastic and folks consistently tell me how smoothly the day went and how great the service was. From start (3 years ago...!) to finish, Ashley and Carter were responsive, knowledgeable, flexible, and kind about not only the food but rentals, alcohol, setup, layout, etc! Their established rapport with other professionals like rental companies and coordinators made everything seamless and easy. On the day of the reception, despite some classic Virginia spring rain, everything was stunning and executed perfectly. Ashley and Carter made what could have been an exhausting three years of wedding planning feel relaxed and fun, and we'd do it all over again if we could.

I highly recommend Dinner at Home! They catered a large rehearsal dinner for us in a historic venue that required special care and consideration, and everything was just right. Hiring a caterer is a big decision. Ashley and Carter East put us very much at ease with their excellent communication and organization. They were responsive throughout the entire process, offered great suggestions for our meal and bar service, and flexible when we made some late changes. The food was simply delicious, beautifully prepared and presented: and those brownies, oh my goodness! They provided ample staff who were attentive and pleasant. They coordinated all the rentals, and the venue manager remarked that the place had never looked lovelier. At Ashley’s suggestion, I retained her recommended day-of coordinator. Bev made the evening run smoothly, start to finish, communicating beforehand to help with planning, and organizing everything from set-up to load-out. I would not have been able to relax and enjoy the evening without her. Dinner at Home is terrific. We hope to have the opportunity to use them again.

DAH Catering was fabulous to work with at every stage of our pandemic-delayed wedding celebration and planning. I think that you learn a lot about who people are when things get tough. And what we learned about Ashley and Carter as we *twice* had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid is that they are incredibly kind and compassionate people who cared about us as people and not just as clients. They would earn my unreserved recommendation for that alone. But in addition to being great people they are also consummate professionals and talented caterers. The food was delicious and the whole process of choosing our menu was very smooth, even when we had to change practically our entire plan a month out to better suit a smaller wedding. They handled all of the details of our rentals, so that all we had to do was go and pick out what we wanted. Everything during our event was smooth and seamless, so much so that we didn't have to think about it at all. The food looked great, tasted great, and was served quickly and on time. The bar service was particularly impressive, and Carter worked overtime with me to get our signature cocktails just how we wanted them. While we had many hiccups getting to and through our wedding day, it was nothing but smooth sailing with our entire catering service. I would recommend anyone getting married in the Charlottesville area to work with DAH Catering. You'll get great service provided by great people--we couldn't have asked for more!

Working with DaH for our wedding was a dream from start to finish! Ashley and Carter were professional, responsive, and lovely to work with in the lead up to our big day. They walked us through the whole process including what we needed to know, what decisions we needed to make, and when we needed to make those decisions. I also appreciate that they partner with a company that provides equally-excellent service and high-quality rentals. Once we said “yes,” everything was smooth with planning. We couldn't have been happier with how things went on the day of our wedding. The cuisine was outstanding and the service was excellent. We appreciated the variety of dishes that DaH offers, and were very pleased with our final menu choices. Each dish was fresh, delicious, and memorable. In terms of logistics, the whole event went smoothly and seamlessly, a huge credit to the DaH team orchestrating things from behind the scenes. I would absolutely work with DaH for future events, small (like ours was) or large. Thank you again, Ashley and Carter!

We had a great experience working with Ashley and Carter for our wedding. We had many last minute changes that popped up close to the wedding and they were very accommodating. We had a little over 100 guests and did a buffet dinner and they ran it so quickly and smoothly. The food, drinks, and service were phenomenal and we received high praise from our guests! We highly recommend going with DaH catering for your wedding!
