Honestly, where do I start? My wedding day wouldn't have been as incredible were it not for Madee and the Get Plated Catering team. From the time we reached out (even before we had a contract signed) GPC provided a pleasant, friendly, and professional experience. The tasting which we did with Tim was incredible and from there Madee was extremely accommodating with the many changes we made along the way as we tried to perfect our menu. On the day of, the set up of everything through Select Event Rentals was beautiful and the service throughout, from cocktail hour to our seated dinner was perfect. As a couple who planned everything on our own, Madee made it so easy and I was just as happy to see her there on the day as I was to see just about anyone else. It's been a few weeks since and I still have guests telling me how incredible the food was! That's a 5-star win in my book. I would recommend them to anyone for literally any event. I am already thinking about making an excuse to book them again!

Thank you, GetPlated! We had a great experience working with them from start to finish. We were originally drawn to GetPlated because of the creativity of the options and everything was delicious! A friend said the lamb chops at cocktail hour were the best food she'd ever had at a wedding.

We are so happy we went with Get Plated for our wedding caterer! We really prioritized the food for our wedding and wanted it to be amazing because it's something that leaves a big impact on our own and our guests' experience. Get Plated did not disappoint! The food and serve was amazing, even a lot of our guests commented on it. Our tasting experience went great and they made us feel so special. They also provided a very personal experience and listened to our food vision to provide us with a menu that was customized and a reflection of us. They also provided us with so many options to choose from and we were able to select a wide variety of cocktail hour appetizers and desserts. Leading up to the day, their responsiveness wasn't 100%, but they are such pros that they know how to make it all come together!

If there was a 3.5 star option I would choose that. Overall our experience with GetPlated was great. Our guests raved about the food, all plates went back to the kitchen licked clean, and the hors d'oeuvre were incredible! Keyon is a master in the kitchen! Our coordinator Lisa was super helpful during the planning process, especially as my husband and I planned our wedding from another state. She was responsive to our phone calls and always knew what to say when our indecisiveness kicked in.
A few hiccups warranted out the 3.5 star review. 1) Our initial communications with Alexandra did not always feel warm and welcoming; it felt like we were a burdensome at times with our questions. 2) Throughout our communications we had continuously stated we would be doing a champagne/prosecco welcome drink for our guests upon their arrival. Unfortunately the day of our wedding this did not occur. We were rather disappointed this happened. After communicating this to Mary, we did receive a refund for the Prosecco that did not occur; which we appreciated. 3) Unfortunately the bars ran out of beer and certain alcohols. While it is difficult to predict how much will be drank at events, it was disappointing to hear of so many guests being turned away at the bar, including the mother of the bride.
All in all, we loved the food and the service of GetPlated. Those few hiccups were small in nature and we still had a fantastic wedding overall. Thank you Lisa, Mary and Keyon!

GetPlated was great during the initial planning process of our wedding. We tweaked our menu a few times, and they were very accommodating. One thing we knew we wanted from the beginning was shrimp and grits, as it is one of my favorite dishes and tied into our southern menu. Unfortunately, at our wedding, they served shrimp and red salsa (no grits). We were never contacted about changing the menu, and when I contacted GetPlated after the wedding, they tried to tell me I was confused and must have thought the garnish was salsa! Additionally, we had pecan-crusted chicken in our contract and on our guest menus. The chicken served at the wedding was not what we had during our tasting, as it barely had any "crust" (mine and my husband's had none). We found that what they serve you at your tasting is not necessarily the same food or quality they will serve at your wedding. Overall, we were a little disappointed at the wedding, especially given the price we paid for the catering.

Food was very important for our wedding. From the beginning, GetPlated understood our vision. From the initial menu to the tasting to the actual wedding, GetPlated was flexible in adjusting our menu and accommodating dietary restrictions (guests LOVED the vegan option). When I mentioned wanting a tres leches cake, they mentioned tres leches shooters to our dessert table and wow they were a hit! On top of everything, our guests are STILL talking about how much they enjoyed the food! All of GetPlated's staff including Jessica our coordinator and every single server were professional and a joy to work with. Highly recommend GetPlated if you want delicious food and drinks!

We had a wonderful experience working with GetPlated for our 120-person wedding! Everything from the tasting to the planning process to the wedding itself was seamless and professional. Our event coordinator, Jessica, handled many requests throughout the process and up until the final week - which included dietary restrictions and last minute cancellations. Our guests raved about the delicious food and the servers were professional and speedy. Most importantly, our guests were full and satisfied! We cannot recommend GetPlated enough - one of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding!

Tasty food, excellent service and great prices. We loved that Get Plated offered packages for small weddings. We had an intimate 8 person wedding on June 19, 2021. We wanted to at least have a 3 course dinner for our family. Get Plated provided just that! There was so much to choose from and everything looked and tasted delicious. Service was exceptional and the selections for table linens and decor was great too. We are so happy we choose Get Plated. We can't wait to have another event to hire them again.

From my first contact with Alexandra at GetPlatedDC, until the last bite of late night snack was consumed at my daughter’s wedding, Alexandra and Get Plated were wonderful to deal with. Our original venue had just cancelled our contract, sending us into crisis mode. Alex was calm, supportive, and organized; available for every concern, large or small. Her professionalism and warm support helped us to relax and focus on the joy of the upcoming wedding. We were thrilled with the food; our guests were enthusiastic in their comments. The site was staged beautifully and the service was impeccable. We could not have been more pleased.

For our May micro wedding, Get Plated did an awesome job catering to a small group with many allergies and food aversions. They also baked some delicious bread for our special bread-breaking ritual (part of our wedding ceremony) at our last minute request. Wonderful to work with and delicious food—their filet mignon and sea bass were 5 star quality!

My wife and I recently used GetPlated's services for our April micro-wedding. The food was very well-received by our guests and we really enjoyed it ourselves. Standout items were the crab cakes, brisket bites, filet mignon and our signature peach/bourbon cocktail. The wait staff was excellent, very attentive, speedy, and always wearing a smile. Highly recommended.

Every single one of our guests raved about how amazing the food was and how ahhhhmazing the staff were! I felt like they were all friends attending the wedding! After having to postpone our wedding 3 times, we had gone through the entire list of DC area caterers. From the moment we arrived to our tasting, we knew that there was no one like Alex and her team at GetPlated. First of all, the tasting itself was like one of the best dates my fiance and I have ever been on! I HIGHLY recommend doing the tasting.
Second, the food looks as beautiful as it is delicious! And third, I had family and guests with all sorts of strange dietary restrictions and even at the tasting GetPlated was able to adjust everything and still ensure it was the best meal everyone ever had!
During the wedding planning we had so many pivots due to government mandates around covid and the forecasted weather for rain! It almost got down to changing our wedding from 50 to 10 people and even though it would affect their business the most, Alex was compassionate, empathetic and encouraging and willing to help us have the wedding of our dreams.
During the wedding day, they made a specialty non alcoholic drink in honor of our daughter who really felt so special! The staff made sure to follow the wedding party around during photos to make sure everyone was able to EAT! (So many brides and grooms never really get to eat on their own day!)
By the way, my favorites were the hot chicken biscuits, the doughnuts and milkshakes, the tuna cones, the sea bass, the drinks... everything!!!!
Get to know their startup story and you'll fall in love with them even more.
Getting to work with GetPlated was the best decision we made for our wedding and I cannot wait for the next chance to cater ANYTHING so that we can have their food and interact with their incredible team.
Weddings and gatherings now are even more precious than ever and food is something that will truly bring people together and give them a warm hug from the inside out. This will be a gift you can share with your most loved ones!

Alex was great to work with and made us feel very taken care of throughout the planning process. Due to the pandemic, we cut our guest list from 160 to 20. The menu Get Plated made for us was amazing. There are a few take-aways that stick out in my mind a few months later. We changed our passed hors d'oeuvres to stations to be more covid friendly, and the few that I had were cold. The plated courses came out in a different order than what we were told to print on our paper menus. The cocktail shrimp from the raw bar tasted fishy, and my salmon entree was dry. Soup and salad was great. Service was friendly and accomodating.

Amazing presentation and delicious cocktails, starters, and entrees!! We had shrimp and grits and French toast for brunch. My guests loved the food and talked about it even after the wedding. Many different appetizers and course options to pick from. Really one of the highlights of my wedding. (The cocktails especially were so pretty with little flower garnishes on top). Thank you so much!!

We used GetPlated for our wedding in September. Overall, I really enjoyed working with Alex and the GetPlated team. Alex was great to talk to, more than willing to help, and understood what we were going for. The food was good, and definitely reasonably priced.
There were some communication issues with regards to a dietary restriction for me, and that's why it isn't a 5 star review. That kind of communication laps created stress on the day. The dietary restriction is medically necessary, and having to be afraid I ate something I shouldn't have was really upsetting. Thankfully, I didn't! Alex had made sure nothing on our menu contained food I couldn't eat, but that was not something the actual servers knew. A small oversight, but one that was really significant to me.
Overall though, a good catering company.

Words can not express how amazing they are. From beginning to end, everything was spectacular. My family is still talking about the food. AMAZING! They even customized the menu to fit my "Middle-Earth, Lord of the Rings" themed wedding. And they are great to work with, very responsive. You couldn't ask for a better caterer. If you hire them, you are guaranteed to have a great experience. Alex is a doll!

I can't say enough good things about GetPlated. From the beginning, Alex and Keyon were willing to work with both our budget and our mixed menu. We both come from very different cultural backgrounds and they were able to come up with an awesome menu that reflected that. Of course, it's important to note is that Keyon's cooking is amazing! We got so many compliments on the food, so many, many kudos to the chef! And Alex made things so smooth for us before the event itself, and at the event with her calming presence, excellent last-minute floral arranging, and maintaining a good pace for the event. Again, can't say enough good things about them and if you're looking for a caterer, I would 100%, without reservation, recommend GetPlated.

GetPlated was phenomenal! They were super happy to listen to what we were both looking for as far as food and drinks go, and they did a fantastic job bringing our dreams to life. They made a fabulous custom menu to fit our lavender theme, including a delicious signature drink, and my new husband and I could not be more thankful we had such a hardworking and amazing catering team. Thank you for making our wedding deliciously perfect!

GetPlated did an absolutely incredible job catering our wedding (June 29, 2018). They were very open and communicative during the planning process. And on the day-of, they had excellent service!
Signature cocktails we're delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day! The passed appetizers during cocktail hour were a hit. The guests raved about the mac&cheese bar. The food was incredible! Super tasty and delicious.
Overall, I'd highly recommend them for anyone looking for a wedding caterer. They contributed to everyone having an amazing time at the wedding!
