We had a great experience with N&M Divine caterers. We had a wedding with 105 guests at a venue in Ashburn VA (Halcyon Watson). Mary and her team did a great job with giving us ideas and suggestions that we wouldn't have thought of. The food was fantastic and the service was on point. Mary made sure that all aspects were taken care flawlessly. They were very accommodating to several different dietary needs (peanut allergy, gluten free).

N&M catered my daughter’s wedding. They did an amazing job. We needed gluten free options and they were very accommodating and the food was delicious. We also used a day of coordinator, Shonda. She was unbelievable. She made the day go so smoothly. I highly recommend using this caterer and day of coordinator. I would definitely hire them again in a heartbeat.

N&M was amazing - we did both catering and day of coordinator services with them. Not only was the food great, but they made the day run so smoothly. They were always prompt with responses to our questions and always made us feel at ease. The food was great, and we received a lot of compliments!! Shonda, our day of coordinator, was absolutely amazing and made all of our wishes come true. She was so sweet and kept the day going!
We would absolutely book with them again. Amazing services at such an affordable price - a rare gem in the DMV!

We went with N&M catering for our LDW wedding and could not have been happier! Their prices were extremely reasonable, and we heard from several of our guests that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. To top it all off, Mary was an absolute dream to work with -- she is detail oriented, responsive, sweet, and made us feel like royalty on our wedding day by making sure we had enough to eat + drink. Truly could not recommend them enough!!

Finding N&M was the biggest blessing for our wedding! From the first call with Mary, we knew she and her team would take care of us, support us, and provide food we wouldn’t forget! Having a meal that was friendly for allergies and gluten free was crucial to us and Mary ensured and explained how their process would provide that. From the first tasting to the final serving at the reception, her team went above and beyond. They even offered wonderful additional services as a part of monthly promotions. Other vendors who had worked with N&M also raved about how much they enjoyed working with N&M and how much their experience shows. I would highly recommend them to be your caterer if you want a stress free, delicious event!

Can't say enough positive things about N&M! They stepped up at the eleventh hour after the first caterer for my wedding spontaneously cancelled on me just 2 months before my event date! Their crew went above and beyond on the actual date itself as well. Their service was phenomenal, and the food was delicious. They were willing to be flexible and work with me on my unique catering situation. Mary was super communicative throughout the process and made sure to call a week in advance to finalize all the details. I would absolutely hire them again if the need presented itself.

From the initial consultation to the flawless execution on the day of the event, every detail was meticulously planned and executed with precision. Their attentiveness to our needs and preferences was evident throughout the entire process, ensuring that every aspect of the catering experience was tailored to perfection.
Mary was professional and helpful throughout the wedding planning process. She consistently demonstrated friendliness, warmth, and excellent communication skills. Additionally, she promptly addressed any questions I had, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.
The staff was exceptional, pleasing all the guests. The bartender's delightful humor and friendly demeanor were especially well-received by everyone in attendance, earning him admiration from all the wedding guests.

It was wonderful to work with N&M for our wedding this past September! The food was absolutely delicious––our guests were raving about it for weeks afterwards! Mary worked with us closely to make sure that we could have the day that we wanted within our budget. We also hired Mary as our day-of coordinator, and she was fantastic! Everything went perfectly on the big day, and having Mary as both caterer and coordinator made things really easy for us. We'd definitely recommend going with N&M for your next event!

Mary is so amazing! We hired N&M as our caterer and Mary as our day of coordinator (price shown includes both). Many guests complimented us on the quality of the food. Mary herself helped us make decisions in advance and made sure that all the details of the event were accounted for. The wedding went great in large part thanks to Mary and her team!

WOW where to even start. We were looking for a catering company that can cater to an Ethiopian guest list who have distinct taste and choice of food. We wanted non Ethiopian food but still wanted to maintain the delicious flavors and spices that are found in our food. Mary and her team delivered beyond our expectation. The food was so amazing , our guests could not get enough of both the reception and the cocktail food. Beyond the food Mary is amazing, she has helped us think through serval part of our wedding, help guide us, and help handle more than just food. Her and her staff go above and beyond to make sure all parts of your wedding go flawlessly. They know what they are doing and are experts at it- as a result they work with other vendors effortlessly and it helps make everything else run smoothly.
i can go on and on about the team. Hire them it will be the best thing you do for your big day, it was for us!

I absolutely LOVED working with Noe and Mary. When they told us that all we needed to do was relax and they really meant it. From start to finish they were incredibly attentive and helped us to enjoy our day. Of course the star was their amazing food and every single guest told us how this was some of the best they'd eaten at a wedding and that's the most important thing. All of this was accomplished within a budget that worked for us and didn’t make us overspend. We even added guests at the last minute and they accommodated us so well.
Will always recommend them. You will not be disappointed!

N&M was absolutely wonderful to work with. The running joke in my family was that Mary wasn't real because all of their deals, food, and kindness were too good to be true! I can promise you that Mary (and all of N&M) very much is real & amazing!! Most importantly, all of their food options are absolutely delicious. Our guests were raving after cocktail hour and dinner. They also have excellent support staff that any time we had a question, we could quickly send an email to the team and get a reply back. Planning a wedding, isn't something most people do everyday. N&M were the best team to rely on their experience and offer their honest opinions when needed. They were also able to work carefully with all of our guests' allergies and cater to our individual needs on the wedding day. They were flexible and accommodating on some of the unique touches we wanted to include on our big day. Our family tradition is to do a cookie table baked by other family members. Mary was so gracious to make a beautiful set up for us. Mary was also in a million places at once on our wedding day. Somehow all the catering ran smoothly, but she was also there to wait on us, the couple, whenever we needed it. I always had a full plate, chilled champagne, and ice water whenever I needed it. N&M's professionalism, amazing catering, and organization makes them a must have for your next event!

Mary and her entire team at N&M were excellent. They made my event better than I could have even imagined. Mary also did my day of coordinating, I highly recommend day of coordinating through this company as they will have your day be seamless and lessen your stress. The guests loved all the food and went back for thirds! I can’t overemphasize how great N&M is. The price to quality ratio is crazy good.

Mary Romero and her team are excellent! My husband and I got married in May. We did a tasting in December and the food was excellent. We hired Mary as a DOC and she was very organized. The food was just as good as it was on the tasting! Her team answers emails quickly, and very attentive. I definitely recommend them!!!

I don’t even know where to start. Mary saved my wedding in more ways than I can count. She is about her business and delivers above and beyond. I am so happy that my husband and I decided to choose N&M. And don’t even get me started on the food. My wedding was a month ago and I’m still finding out about guests who went back for 3rd and 4th servings. Thank you Mary and team!

My daughter and her now husband made this find. I planned the wedding due to the fact that I had a career in special events. So many moving parts and when it is your daughter you are planning for it is all the more hectic. Mary Romero and I worked together and the experience was incredible. The food was as amazing as it was during the tasting, the servers and staff so polite, professional and helpful. Mary was hired as the day of planner and went over and beyond to accommodate and create details that needed that perfect touch. I really cannot find enough words to state how thrilled we were with everything N&M Divine Cuisine did. I would work with them a million times over and will refer them every chance I get. I strongly recommend them for consideration at any event.

This was my second time working with Noe and Mary for an event and they did not disappoint! The menu we chose for Noe to execute was perfect: the salmon was well seasoned, our rice dish packed a punch on its own, green beans were not soggy and the beef carving station looked great and was cooked perfectly. Three days prior to the event I learned two of our guests were vegan, so Mary made sure that they had food to eat as well. As usual, communicating with Mary was easy: she answered all questions, responded in a timely manner, and during the week of the party made me feel like I was her only priority. During the party, we forgot to tell Mary there would be a champagne toast, which could have been problematic since they had to travel across a state line to get to the venue. Somehow, during the speech, she was able to pull enough out so that everyone could toast at the end of the speech. If there were any issues during the party, I will never know because she most likely handled it all. Working with N&M is the best decision you could make if looking for a caterer!

Not even sure where to start! Mary was just absolutely amazing. I met her as the caterer at a really good friend’s wedding. I was so blown away from the food and the service I held her contact info for our special day, and that was best decision I ever did!
She went above and beyond the ENTIRE time—beginning to end. She will call you and talk through every detail, makes the absolute best food, works WITHIN your budget, goes truly above and beyond what any other caterer would do, the list goes on.
I’ve been referring Mary to everyone I know since!

We didn’t end up going with them, and still today we regret it. They made such an impact still I felt compelled to still write a review because they are that great. The food was outstanding, We will definitely hands down use them next time. Mary is the sweetest person ever to work with, and she is willing to work with you to bring your vision alive even at affordable pricing! The best Caterers ever!

Booking Noe & Mary’s catering for our wedding was one of the BEST decisions we could have made. They were an absolute joy to work with, extremely kind, always professional, and very respectful and flexible with our budget. When we spoke with them, we always felt like we were being treated like family.
Food is very important to us, and our guests could not stop raving for months after the event how GOOD the dinner and the drinks were. Several commented that it was “the best wedding food I’ve ever had—and some of the best food in general!”
We came to N&M with a big, complicated, multi-cultural fusion menu in mind and they delivered in a huge way that stayed within our conservative budget. Stop your search for a wedding caterer here—it doesn’t get better than N&M Divine Cuisine.

Mary & team were superb - probably our favorite vendor to work with! They are so affordable, and clearly experienced in the industry - providing amazing service for our wedding and exquisite food (including Nigerian dishes that were complimented by my Nigerian husband and guests!). They worked with us through so many updates to the package, and were even patient with us on payment for an extra week when we were closing on a house. The team was SO responsive, and we could relax on the day knowing they were handling everything with our venue for food, drink, and set up. We cannot recommend them enough - so grateful our friends told us about N&M !!

Mary and her team were absolutely amazing!!! We had a buffet of several styles of food and it was to die for. Their price was right in our budget. We even got the linens from them, and when one color option was unavailable, they came up with an amazing solution. I was able to get ahold of the team any time with my questions and was able to communicate directly with Mary whenever I needed. They were all so professional and worked amazingly well with the rest of my vendors and my planner. I highly recommend N&M!

We worked with N&M for our wedding, and it was a wonderful experience. We received multiple compliments on the food, and they even made everything vegetarian friendly since both me and my fiance are vegetarian.
They were also so easy to work with for both the setup and cleanup -- we gave all the details of what we were looking for in our setup, and they took care of everything. Even though we were there in case we needed to oversee anything, they got everything set up really quickly and just as we imagined it. They also got everything cleaned up really quickly -- we were even able to be out of the venue, and do our final walkthrough long before our cleanup time frame was over.
We also hired Mary as our Day of Coordinator, which I would highly suggest. She helped everything run super smoothly, and was able to keep things flexible as we ran early on some things, like our cocktail hour, so that we could move everyone to dinner quicker and get the dancing started earlier. Highly recommend!

They were very pleasant throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions. My planner was impressed that they were a one stop shop for food, serving staff, a bartender, linens and more!! Food was amazing!! We had so many compliments about the food! Staff was very friendly!! Checked on us throughout the meal making sure everything was ok! I would absolutely recommend N&M Divine Cuisine over and over and over again!

My wife and I had a tight wedding budget and someone recommended N&M Divine Cuisine to us and from my first call with Mary I knew we had to book with them. Not only did the deal seem unreal but their team went above and beyond what we ever expected! From giving us a custom Nigerian and Honduran menu to seamlessly making the room flip from the ceremony to reception, N&M was on it! They also were very responsive and accommodating to numerous of our menu requests and changes.
The food was so delicious too! Everyone at the wedding loved it and it even got compliments from our "Foodie" friends. 5 out of 5 stars hands down!

I could not give N&M enough praise and appreciation for the work that they did for our special day. From day 1, Mary the head of the catering services reached out to us personally and maintained professionalism and courtesy throughout the entire year that my husband and I planned our engagement. She and her staff are amazing - they even hand delivered our tastings to our house! Our guests raved about how delicious their food was and I made sure to have plenty on the big day. They are extremely receptive your feedback and work with you in every single day. I could not recommend a better catering service!

I am so grateful for Mary and her team! My plan was to use my venues catering company but after going through the tasting my husband and I realized that it was not what we wanted. I started freaking out because we were about 2 months away from our wedding so I started frantically looking online for caterers. Mary was the first one to contact me and it was smooth sailing from there. They were extremely flexible with our budget and our food choices and within days we set up menu options and Mary brought us our food tasting. Everything was absolutely delicious. Jump to our wedding day and everyone kept coming up to us to tell us that the food was amazing. To this day we are still getting compliments. I can't thank Mary and her team enough for their quick response and amazing food service! I will always keep N&M Divine Cuisine & Events in mind for future catering.

Wow! We got so many compliments on N&M's food at our wedding, and the service was impeccable (it's a good thing when you DON'T get comments on service in these cases!). Mary's good humor made wedding planning fun in a sea of stressful decisions. She was also great at steering us in the right direction with her wealth of experience, but also making sure that at the end of the day - we were happy with every decision. There's a reason N&M have so many 5-star reviews, and I think a lot of that reason is Mary! We were skeptical of going with a smaller catering company at first, but they really know what they're doing, and we're very glad we hired them. Oh, and did I mention the food was great?

If you're looking for a caterer who genuinely cares for your happiness while serving amazingly delicious food and service, look no further! My wedding was last month in September 2021. I booked N&M Divine Cuisine & Events back in October 2019, which was a few months before the pandemic hit. When I tell you how understanding, flexible and wonderful they are to work with, trust me, they are! They made our wedding happen and it turned out stunningly! I absolutely love Mary and her team, especially since they've had a long history in the catering business and know the ins and outs of this field. They helped me feel less-stressed and confident in their service. The food tasting was also one of my favorite parts of this process. They came to my home on time (before the pandemic) and were open to all ideas we suggested. They're also the most budget-friendly caterers I've ever seen (I was on a tight budget but you would've never guessed it by the way our wedding turned out). By the way, my wedding had about 180 guests!! Not only was their catering service amazing, but I made the best decision to also take her offer as being my Day-Of-Coordinator! Till this day, we get non-stop compliments on how great the food was and how fantastically smooth the reception program ran. Mind you as my DOC, she made sure her team had set up the tables, centerpieces, decor etc. as perfectly as possible according to the instructions my husband and I provided her. N&M listens to our needs and our vision. In addition, Mary is extremely organized, timely and truly passionate about her career.
One last thing I can't forget to mention. My wedding venue (St. Francis Hall) was a new venue for them to serve at. Although it was their first time serving there, the venue was so impressed with them that they decided to add them to their Preferred Caterer List to offer them to their future couples! That shows a lot about their service including work ethic, clean-up responsibilities, respecting the space, etc.
Noe and Mary truly made our wedding planning that much less stressful to plan especially during a pandemic! It turned out to be the most gorgeous and perfect wedding for my husband and I and I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking for an affordable yet great quality service caterer and day-of-coordinator!

We're very happy we chose Noe & Mary as our wedding reception caterers! We were a pandemic wedding so there was a lot of planning and re-planning. Mary and her team stayed with us every step of the way - discussing with us all of our options. She is delightful to chat with, and planning our reception felt so easy with her help. Noe and Mary truly believe in bringing great quality food and service at a reasonable cost. What they offered just couldn't be beat. They even came to our apartment to do the tasting (pre-COVID). After our reception, our friend who is very good at cooking and has a food blog complimented the food :) We decided to hire Mary as our Day of Coordinator, and we are so glad we did. She ensured that we had a plate of the delicious food on our table already when we arrived and that things ran smoothly! Word of advice to all the brides and grooms out there reading this review: hire N&M!

Mary and Noe helped make our wedding absolutely perfect! From first contact to final cleanup, they made the planning process so easy. They were able to set up an in-home tasting (full meal, not small samples), provided us a fantastic package at a very competitive price, and were in contact with us every step of the way. They not only provided dinner, but also setup/cleanup, linens, chargers, a chocolate fountain, coffee and churro bar, and did a phenomenal job of making sure everything looked perfect. We even challenged them to set up a cookie table (cookies by MOG) that must have been a huge effort! At the end of the day, we received so many compliments on the food, all of which was cooked to perfection. The fish was was moist and flaky, and the chicken was tender and full of flavor. Even the venue owner said this was the best food that has ever been served at their venue!
We also hired Mary as the day-of coordinator. Thanks to her, everything went smoothly, I didn't have to deal with any day-of issues, and I am so excited to eat all of the leftovers since you never have enough time to truly enjoy them on the actual day!
I would highly recommend Mary and Noe. You will not be disappointed!

If you're looking for a caterer...look no further! Trust me when I tell you I feel like I did enough research for everyone... yeah, I'm that person... the one that researches every aspect. I contacted more caterers than I can recall and what a blessing it was when I finally found Mary and her crew. Being in business ourselves, I have high expectations for a company's professionalism and all that it entails.... services provided, fair pricing, good communication, dependability and the way the job is executed. Mary and her team topped the charts on all fronts, from start to finish, and added the personal touch as well by getting to know our family and really caring about our special day! To meet a complete stranger and feel like good friends in the end is when you know you picked the right caterer! Working with N&M Divine Cuisine was amazing and I will absolutely recommend them to everyone I know for any event they need catered.... and any venue's that may read this review... you should definitely reach out to Mary and see if you can add her to your "preferred vendor" list...and put her at the top because it will certainly increase the appeal to your "customers". Mary, I can't thank you enough ... and as we said... "Until we meet again my friend":)

Mary was wonderful to work with and the food was amazing! We got so many compliments saying it was some of the best wedding food my guests had ever had. She made the entire process so easy and was so professional the entire time. The tables looked amazing and the drinks were even better. She was very attentive to my new husband and I even through all the chaos and making sure we were fed and looked after. I can’t rave enough about their services and staff! I highly highly recommend!!

I had spoken with atleast 10 other caterers and their prices were outrageous. Mary and her team offered a fair price and included everything. The tables, cutlery, linens, staff (Including a great bartender who everyone loved), and food that was delicious. She was always easily reachable and would personally reach out if she needed something. She is easy to work with and made everything so easy. She definitely took the stress off my shoulders. Not just fluffing here but go ahead and hire N&M you won't be disappointed. She checked on my wife and I multiple times in the night to make sure we had enough food and drink or if there was anything else she could assist with. I had several attendees ask for her contact info cause they could tell she was legit. If we ever have a large event like this we would definitely rehire. Thank you Mary and team!!!

From the day I reached out to them, N&M seemed too good to be true. They were responsive, informative, flexible, punctual, budget-friendly, and above and beyond helpful. After watching them seamlessly execute our wedding, I can attest that they are as great as they seem. Mary and the staff are unflappable pros, and Noe makes a mean salsa verde! We are so grateful that we had the good sense to hire them and will look to them for all future catering needs.

I cannot say enough great things about Mary and her team!! I mean ABOVE and BEYOND what we expected a catering business to offer. From the very first contact to day of, everything was communicated amazingly and Mary and her team were so flexible and available to help with everything!
Mary was ON IT! She knows what she's doing and she isn't trying to take advantage of anyone. Their prices are very competitive and the service they offer is worth so much more! They work with you with your budget and your food choices. She even gave us kids meals for those picky eaters. They provide skilled bar tenders as well which made our lives so much easier.
She also offers day of coordinating services which we regret not going with but even so she was a tremendous help. Response times quicker then any other vendor we worked with.
The food was delicious!!! All of our guests complimented us on the food. There was never any shortage and everyone was full. We also used them for our rehearsal dinner and the food was just as amazing!
My husband and I both agree that we will be using them for all of our future catering needs without any hesitation. I am so incredibly happy we found N & M. Our wedding day would not have been so smooth without them.
I could go on and on. We are so thankful for N&M catering! We hope they prosper with their business and that everyone gets to experience their amazingness!

Fantastic Experience all around! The food was fantastic and Mary worked with us very closely because of all our dietary restrictions (Bride is Vegan, guests were Gluten-Free and Nut Free) and because we wanted specific things like mashed potato bar! She was also amazing with our a budget and kept in contact throughout our pandemic changes. Can't believe we were so lucky to have them as our caterer for our wedding ❤️

Mary and her team are angels! After having to switch caterers 2 months before my wedding, Mary and her team were very responsive and professional. They made sure that we got everything that we wanted, and they were great the day of the wedding. Mary stepped in as the day of coordinator, and she made the wedding day super easy. Everything were so smoothly.

Mary and her team are life savers! Two months before my wedding, I loss my caterer. In a panic and while in the middle of a meltdown, I located N&M Divine Cuisine & Events. From the beginning, Mary and her team assured me that I would not have any worries! They certainly delivered on their promise! Mary and her team were always responsive and accommodating. I had 200 guests at my wedding. Everyone complimented the food and highly impressed that the food was served hot and delicious! Mary and her team took care of the food and the bar. We are forever grateful to Mary and her team!

I am going to make this simple for you: Hire this company. Mary is an absolute delight to work with and goes way above and beyond to make your day incredible. My bride and I were utterly blown away by the quality of every single aspect of the N&M Divine Catering experience. We had Mary take care of pretty much everything: The bar (we provided beer and wine), the linens, the flatware and settings, all of the food(including dessert) and we hired Mary to be the day of coordinator (BEST IDEA EVER). Now, I know it is natural to be biased toward your own wedding, but we have had a ton of people say that it was the best food they have ever had. Mary did a beautiful job coordinating with our other vendors to manage the flow of the evening, from the cocktail hour, to getting us fed, to personally releasing each table in turn.
I could honestly go on and on about how incredible the value is when you hire N&M Divine, but seriously, call and just talk to Mary. She will take your vision and your budget and make something amazing happen for you, I promise. We love her dearly and can't thank her enough for her wonderful contribution to our wedding day!

Mary & Noe are absolutely amazing! From when we first met and did our initial wedding tasting, Mary and Noe made us feel comfortable, from creating a menu to fit our budget, all the way up to the details of the big day and their service. They had every detail locked in and constantly worked with us to make sure our big day was what we envisioned. On our big day, there were zero hiccups and everyone loved the food! Noe was able to customize our menu to fit some cultural dishes we had asked for, and they were exactly what we envisioned. Mary was on top of everything and we could not ask for a better catering group! If you are in need of wedding catering, look no further, they will not disappoint. Thanks so much for making our wedding day worry free and everything we asked for!

tl;dr version: great food, great to work with, if we had to throw another wedding next year we would DEFINITELY want to bring N&M back as our caterer.
Mary, Noe, and the entire N&M staff were magnificent for our wedding in Purcellville, VA this October. The food was fantastic. Many of our guests let us know how much they enjoyed it, and even better, everyone seemed to have different favorites. The beef skewers were one of the dishes that won us over for our tasting and they were just as delicious on the day -- the crab dip was *of course* a favorite, and everyone had great things to say about each entree. They're happy to work with you in designing the menu, and we ended up having a nice and diverse slew of options. The taco bar was praised all night, but my favorite was probably the salmon, and then the chicken marsala was my favorite of the leftovers. To that note: N&M does not skimp on quantity. You do not have to worry that there won't be enough food; there will be so much food!
Mary was great to work with. She is very high-energy, and she puts that to use in all sorts of ways. We had unexpected difficulties with the venue regarding vendors, and it was great having Mary on our side to pounce on any problem that arose.
And lastly, the wedding industrial complex is real and insanely over-priced. N&M is not. Unbelievably competitive pricing (and I mean, actually, it's hard to believe). If you're worrying "wow this price is so good, I'm sure the food won't be very good OR there won't be enough food OR there won't be enough staff," rest assured, everything was great.
So thanks Mary and Noe! You helped our wedding tremendously.

N&M saved my wedding! I was having prior caterer issues with another vendor and from my initial conversation with Mary and her team, they were able to step in, takeover and resolve all issues with a very challenging venue. She made the process very simple while was always being available for communication, and their food is absolutely DELICIOUS!! Extremely professional and courteous team, who genuinely care for their clients! Thank you Mary for all you have done for my wedding!

My partner have been together for over 15 years and we waited a long time before tying the knot. When the time came, we contracted Noe and Mary for our wedding and are sooo pleased that we did.
From the very beginning, Mary was super responsive.
She gave us clear estimates, menu options, and provided answers to all of our questions. Having researched and interacted with several caterers as part of our wedding planning, Mary stood out from the pack. Her prices, services, food options, were exactly what we were looking for and wanted for a gay wedding that was 15 years in the making.
Before our event, Mary setup a tasting, we sampled all the food our guests would be enjoying, we talked through the various components of the wedding, she heard our ideas on colors, and provided feedback on timing and execution. She was really easy to work with and was incredibly thorough and organized. She always made sure that every detail was ironed out.
The day of the wedding, every one of our guests kept giving us compliments on the food, the waiters, and how organized our event was from beginning to end. All my gay friends kept asking for her information and I will gladly forward it along.
Mary said she was glad to be a part of our special and I am glad to say that I am also incredibly happy that I found her, and Noe, for our wedding. Their family business is well-run and I wish them soo much success. Thank you Mary and Noe for helping us create a lovely memory that we will always cherish.

N&M Divine Cuisine were absolutely perfect. I couldn't have thrown a more amazing without their help. I can't even come close to a complaint. They handled all of the paperwork for the venue in a timely and efficient manner, they were professional from day one. They had wonderfully fair pricing, easy to communicate with and responsive. They were on time to arrive, they did all of our table setup, even helped us in improving our decorations. Mary was amazing at coordinating. We had so many compliments about the quality of N&M's food, friendly and professional waitstaff and bartender. There were no challenges because Mary handled everything. They cleaned up at the end of the night and were able to sign off with the venue early. On top of all these other amazing features that they offered, when literally every last family and friend left me with an entire minivan full of leftovers, 10 packages of beer, 4 huge garbage bags full of linens and our banners, every last staff member pitched in to help me so that I didn't need to make 40 trips. You completely won me over! Thank you Mary, Noe and all of your wonderful staff. I hope you're ready for our next event! I would recommend them in a heartbeat to everyone. I guess I am!

Mary and her team are incredible! We contacted a number of caterers that had nowhere near the flexibility and attention to detail N&M Cuisine offers. We got so many compliments on the great food. The bar and staff coordinated everything to perfection. What they delivered at such a reasonable cost is amazing. I have to make a note on the preset salads- they looked GORGEOUS and tasted delicious! N&M Cuisine is by far the best caterer in the DC area. Accommodating, extremely professional and highly punctual!

The food and overall atmosphere that Mary and her husband provided for me and my husband on our wedding day was second to none! Even when little issues came up that had nothing to do with them, Mary sprang into action and went the extra mile just to make sure everything went perfectly. Oh, and I did I mention how incredibly delicious the food was? It makes my mouth water just thinking about it to this day.

Mary and Noe did an amazing job at our wedding. Our first caterer had to drop out due to circumstances beyond their control about two months before the wedding. We contacted several caterers to try to fill the gap, but after the tasting we knew this was the team for us.
It wasn't just the quality of the food, which was stellar, or the price, which was exceptionally reasonable, but Mary's wonderful attention to detail and responsiveness that sold us. She and her team went above and beyond to deliver an event that left guests raving and put our minds at complete ease that everything would be handled--and it was.
I simply can't say enough about what a great job they did from beginning to end. Call them for a quote. Do a tasting. It is well worth your time to give this husband and wife team a shot. We are so glad we did!
