RSVP Catering

dra and Casey were always prompt, professional, and friendly. RSVP has many menu options, making it easy to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Based on the tasting, we were able to tweak the preparation of some dishes which we really appreciated! We were initially nervous for the rentals appointment with Select Event Group - their rental partner - because we didn't have a strong idea going in for what we wanted to pick. However, they walked us through all the options, answered our many questions, and didn't rush our live decision-making at all. RSVP had worked with our planners and venue before so their coordination was seamless. On the day, RSVP went above and beyond! We missed cocktail hour due to family portraits and when we went to change before our entrance, the head server ensured that we had drinks and appetizers brought to the room, which we greatly appreciated since we hadn't eaten much up to that point. The serving itself was stunningly coordinated and a couple requests made by my parents were immediately executed. One of my biggest concerns was ensuring that guests with allergies had no issues and RSVP had that well under control. The food itself was delicious and many guests raved about it after the wedding. We can't recommend Alexandra and RSVP Catering enough!

went in with my husband for the initial tasting, and we were so excited that literally *everything* we tasted was delicious. Their staff was friendly and accommodating, and answered all our questions about allergies and processes. We ended up going in for a second tasting to finalize our menu, and their team was super helpful with making sure we felt very confident about our final offerings. RSVP also partners with Select Event Group for rentals, and we also had a lovely experience going into their showroom and picking out our table settings. Again, their team was super nice, helpful, and patient as my husband and I discussed options in real-time. On the actual day, the RSVP team was the epitome of efficiency: the appetizers came out promptly at the correct temperature, the bars were quick to get through the queue, they turned over our ceremony space into our reception space quickly and beautifully, and dinner came out very promptly and efficiently. RSVP was worth every penny, and I’m so glad we had them as our wedding caterer!

5 people at Stone Tower Winery in May, and the food/drink/service experience was very important to us. The food turned out even better than we both ever could have imagined. 2 months later and our guests still can’t stop talking about it! I’m personally still dreaming of the short ribs. The team knew the venue well which helped with execution. There were many moving parts – passed hors d’oeuvres, bar service, a plated meal, table-side wine service, toasts, dessert, cake cutting -- and they delivered seamlessly. All members of staff were kind and attentive. Throughout the wedding planning process, Casey and her team were super helpful, hands-on and flexible. They helped us to build the perfect menu that met our/our guests needs and to make tweaks along the way. It also made it easy that they partnered with Select Event Group for rentals, of which they had a small showroom on-site. During our tasting we were able to test out various linens/glassware/dishware and visualizing it helped us land on our perfect tablescape. We worked with RSVP for a year and a half, from across the country, and they made it a breeze and really enjoyable. I highly recommend hiring them to cater your wedding!

even added fresh Berry options for the flutes and the guests are still raving about their delicious cupcakes!

t from (including tons of vegan and vegetarian options). We attended the group tasting and fell absolutely in love with their food, service, and staff. Our individual tasting was so much fun and of course delicious. Wedding day could not have been better. Everything was delicious and looked beautifully presented. The RSVP team was a dream to work with - very responsive to email and changes. Right after the wedding ceremony before the craziness of the evening began the RSVP team brought us a tray of all of our cocktail hour foods and our signature cocktails for us to enjoy. They are truly the best.

ding venue, ensuring a seamless experience for us and our guests. The variety and quality of the food options were outstanding, with a diverse range of delicious choices that catered to all tastes and dietary needs. We especially appreciated their flexibility in allowing us to switch out desserts for a late-night food option, which was a huge hit among our guests! Working with Casey and the RSVP Caterers team was an absolute pleasure, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're planning a wedding or any other event, RSVP Caterers will definitely take care of you!

ith last minute changes and also were willing to incorporate our suggestions. My husband and I are big foodies and RSVP hit it out of the park!!!

initial call. It’s evident that the team members are very experienced, while also very personable and easy to work with. There are a few members of RSVP who were looped in on every email communication, which meant that at any given time there was at least one member of the team available to us. We worked primarily with Alexandra throughout our tastings, but communicated a lot with Natalie via email and communicated occasionally with Casey as well. Each of them was very professional and helpful. They are also very flexible, for example they were willing to serve outside food if we wanted to bring in our own dessert or late night snack. We loved absolutely everything we tasted during our tastings and couldn’t be happier with how the food turned out on the wedding day. The entire staff was very professional on the wedding day. They made sure there were hors d’oeuvres and drinks delivered to us throughout the cocktail hour and reception. We ended up having RSVP make our wedding cake as well, which turned out delicious and looked simple and elegant. To top it off we went home with leftovers due to a few last minute cancellations, so we got to continue to enjoy the food and our cake at home. I would highly recommend RSVP Catering for any wedding or event!

e all of our selections for wedding day (both food and linens/rentals), the food was INCREDIBLE, and we're so happy we chose them for our event. Everyone was commenting on how great the food was all night long!

great the food was and we definitely agree. I think the crowd favorite was definitely the smoked tomato risotto and parmesan chicken. A special thank you to Natalie for all her hard work on the day helping us get everything set up. Everything looked absolutely perfect and amazing. I highly recommend booking RSVP for your event.

walkthrough at our venue. On the day of, we had such a tight schedule between cocktail hour and dancing, but the staff worked like a well-oiled machine and never missed a beat. We cannot thank RSVP Catering enough for making our special day all the more memorable!

and dinner to taste the food before choosing them. And then to choose our menu, we could invite our parents to be wined and dined and choose our final items. It was so much fun and really made a great experience going into the wedding!

ons to our food choices, and gave fantastic suggestions. We received many compliments on the food at our wedding, particularly the salmon. We provided our own alcohol (based on their ordering suggestion) and used their bartenders and non-alcoholic package, which worked great. Couldn't recommend them more!

to speak with us on the phone and listened carefully to all of our preferences and wishes. Sarah led our tasting and our big day. Sarah is professional, organized, and wonderful to work with. The food was delicious, service was amazing, and we were so appreciative to the entire staff for ensuring guests enjoyed the cocktail hour and reception. Sarah ensured that while we took pictures that we and our wedding party were able to enjoy our signature cocktails and appetizers. RSVP thought of every detail, including rentals with Select Event Group, and we truly could not be happier with how beautiful it all turned out. The RSVP pastry chef made a delicious cake and cookie table that guests raved about. I also can't thank them enough for their flexibility and attention to detail to ensure our guests with dietary restrictions had everything that they needed. We highly recommend RSVP for any event, but especially your wedding day!

e far the best food out of the half dozen or so catering companies we tried but at a more reasonable price point than most. We worked with Casey and Alexandra, who were both very professional, organized, friendly, and punctual. They were quick to respond to emails and answer our many questions. The two of them made the whole wedding planning and execution experience very smooth and had everything under control from start to finish. We particularly appreciated their flexibility when we had to postpone our wedding a year and greatly reduce our guest count due to COVID, which wasn't a problem for them at all. The entire catering staff was wonderful on the day of the wedding, and they took care to make sure that my husband and I were actually being fed, which was a nice touch. The food was indeed delicious on the wedding day and we got lots of compliments from our guests who said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had!

y asked to work with her. Closer to the wedding, we had our individual tasting which was really fun! She was a big help in coordinating the layout of both the ceremony and the reception. They helped us adjust to make our wedding more safe because of COVID - people loved the individually plated appetizers! We also wanted to implement signature cocktails at the last minute, which Amanda easily helped us coordinate and serve. On the wedding day, we felt like VIPs because Amanda and her team would bring us food and drinks whenever we wanted. They were extremely efficient and helpful. And it was delicious! We are very happy with our menu choices and people are still telling us how good the food was!

excellent quality food, unique presentation, and reasonable price. We were especially grateful to have chosen RSVP after Covid hit and we were forced to downsize our wedding from our original indoor wedding venue with 180 guests to a small backyard tented wedding of 40 guests. RSVP (Maura in particular) could not have been more accommodating, even though the change meant that the contract value was less than half of what was originally expected. Maura personally visited our home twice before the wedding day to make sure everything would run smoothly, and was there on the wedding day overseeing everything. There was heavy rain throughout our wedding, but the RSVP service staff and bartenders were incredibly professional and flexible in dealing with the rain and mud under challenging conditions. We also really appreciated how Maura and RSVP were willing to incorporate all Covid safety precautions we requested, including a Plexiglass shield at the bar, face shields for staff, drink covers, and gloves. Our guests raved about how professional the staff were and how good the food was (despite being prepared in our house!). We are so grateful to have chosen RSVP for our wedding and encourage you to do so, too.

ur wedding was professional and made sure that my bride and I had everything we needed. We highly recommend RSVP catering!

utiful. They made us so happy on our special day and so helpful with getting married during covid.

account manager, Casey, made the entire wedding planning process so easy. She understood our vision, answered every question we had and helped us think through the big logistical questions. And on top of that, the food was AMAZING and so creatively displayed -- we have guests still raving about how delicious and fun the food was. The waitstaff and other RSVP staff the day of were so professional and nice and helped make the evening flow perfectly. Our wedding was everything we dreamed it would be thanks to RSVP. We would recommend them to any couple, and in fact, we can't wait to work with them again for another event one day!!

e contact and our day-of coordinator to make everything go off without a hitch. Moreover, Casey showed incredible kindness and patience as we made some changes to our game plan fairly late, and even went so far as to bring additional tasting samples to our home just to make sure we could make the most informed decisions! Our guests were uniformly complimentary of the food. We are so grateful to Casey and the hard-working staff at RSVP who made our event such a huge success.

the bride and groom, but the staff made sure we were met with a tray full of appetizers and champagne after the ceremony and immediately fed when we sat for dinner. Abbey and her team were all insanely sweet, responsive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The bartenders were also wonderful, quick, and handled our rowdy crowd really well :) Could not have been more perfect.

ial group tasting event to get a feel for their catering and meet our coordinator. Abbey did a fantastic job putting together the initial quote and then helping to refine it as we got closer with a second, private tasting. Our venue required a setup from scratch except for a tent. On the wedding day, everything was set up just how we wanted it and everything went incredibly smoothly. The food was great and the staff was wonderful. We definitely recommend RSVP for a wedding, especially one that requires a full set of rentals in addition to the food service.

ake home some of their food. We had a few select appetizers (chicken skewers, gazpacho), roasted chicken, salad with champagne vinaigrette (delicious!), shrimp, mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese (so creamy!). If you think mac and cheese is boring, just try RSVP’s version and you will change your mind! Our guests loved the food, they went back for seconds and there was nearly none left of the main dishes. The staff from RSVP had already worked with our venue and there were no issues as far as we could tell. We went with a buffet option and this worked out quite well vs. doing plating, guests got their fill. We highly suggest this vendor if you’re trying to figure out a caterer. Their price was mid-range and their food was delicious, some of the guests are still talking about it. We tried a few other pretentious caterers with fancy puree’s and under dressed salads, this caterer put the fancy in the right places and kept the main dishes rich and flavorful. Can’t ask for more! We may be back for catering for some future parties! Good luck with your wedding!

of taco carts was awesome; our guests loved them! And the stations worked really well too. Beyond that, Casey was really responsive and a lot of fun to work with. The evening was executed smoothly with zero problems; all the staff knew what they were doing and they managed everything really well. Perhaps my only complaint was that I felt as though the invoices could have been itemized a bit better so that we knew exactly what we were paying for and how costs would adjust when adjusting number of people, tables, etc.

ll together a contract for me THAT EVENING so I could bring it to my parents. Their professionalism, communication, and honestly great personalities made it a pleasure to work with them. Our tasting was wonderful, and they wanted to make sure that every. single. detail. was thought of. They really wanted to make our day special, and I felt that. I would recommend them to any of my friends!

riety of food. Casey was wonderful to work with, and the results were great. The suggestion of tater tots to end the night was a fun touch as well :)

ncluding the gnocchi were excellent. But seriously, the appetizers were amazing. Best part is they were all one bite, because people don't want to be holding a plate, napkin, drink, and grabbing food all at the same time. Could not be happier with RSVP.

tastings. They accommodated our budget, made sure we had vegan options for our guests for all courses and provided excellent customer service. Their communication with us was consistenly prompt, they thoroughly answered all of our questions and they were transparent about all costs and really worked with us to create a perfect day! Our guests were RAVING about the food! Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection from the apps and meals to the desserts and late night food! I strongly recommend RSVP for your wedding! Thank you so much for everything Abbey! It was incredible!

roached the date! We did not have a wedding planner, and Abbey also provided great advice when we weren't sure which option to choose. She worked to understand what was important to us and delivered on that. On the day itself, all went smoothly, progressed exactly as we discussed, and the catering team's service was elegant. We received many compliments on the quality of the food (Cliff Spa Chicken, Copper River Salmon, Charred Corn Ravioli) from our guests. I can't recommend RSVP (and Abbey!) enough!

t, and the result was an exact reflection of what we wanted. We wanted our menu items to nod towards some of our favorite cities, and they developed a few new recipes in order to make it happen for us. All of our guests keep telling us how good the food was! Their attention to detail and flexibility was amazing, and they really went out of their way to give us exactly what we wanted within the budget we laid out for them. The catering staff on the day gave top notch service. We will use them again any chance we get!

VP, we went to one of their group tastings. We got to sample several h'orderves, a meal, and dessert. Many of the h'orderves we ended up using on our own menu. We offered a beef, chicken, fish, and vegetarian option at our wedding. We heard nothing but good things about the food and the service. The catering staff was great! For dessert, we had mini pies -- great for the fall -- which were a hit with guests.

talked on the phone (I was planning from across the country) and she was so friendly and professional. She listened to my ideas on what food I wanted and put together an amazing proposal that kept my budget in mind. After that, she was always quick to respond and just generally made the process so easy. And then the cocktail hour and reception went really smoothly. We had a complicated change over from the ceremony space to the reception space and they did it quickly and efficiently. Also the food was delicious! All and all, I am so glad I went with RSVP for our wedding!

about the food, drinks, and about our point of contact, Casey. The food was just amazing. From our initial tasting, all the way through to the lo mein that we gave our as a late night snack, the food on our wedding day was delicious. I know that often, tastings don't reflect what is actually served at the wedding (I totally understand it's hard to make consistently good food for 100+ people), but that was honestly not the case here. We were very lucky have RSVP work with us on each aspect of our passed hors d'oeuvres, bar setup, salads, mains, breads, ice cream bar, and then the late night snack (which we decided we wanted pretty last minute!). In particular, our guests raved about the pomegranate margarita, the short ribs and the fish they had for dinner, and the wonderful variety of ice cream! We also got all of our rentals through RSVP (tables, chairs, linens, etc). They were wonderfully patient with us as we asked for everything to be priced out as we tried to get the best deal that we could for what we wanted. They were also incredibly accommodating of our request to do long tables vs round tables as though it fit better in my "vision, " thought it was a little challenging fitting everything under our tent. On the wonderful, amazing, ever accommodating Casey, we really lucked out. Since over a year ago when we met her, right up until our wedding day, she was terrific and we honestly couldn't have felt any better taken care of (important when you have so many other things going on leading up to and the day of your wedding!). My finace and I don't miss a lot about the wedding planning process, but the main one is that we don't get to talk to Casey anymore! All around A++ experience, wonderful time, and great memories. We couldn't recommend RSVP/Casey more.

. RSVP Catering was beyond helpful. We didn't have much decorations; it was mostly limited to pretty simple ceterpieces. Our wedding planner wanted us to hire a decorator, but that would have cost us thousands. I asked Casey if RSVP would just set the centerpieces (vases) out on the tables, and she said they could even put out more elaborate pieces if we gave them a picture of what we wanted them to look like. A friend of ours ultimately ended up setting up the centerpieces, but I thought it was really nice of RSVP to offer! They were also very accomodating with desserts. We brought in some inexpensive Costco sheet cakes and they plated things up very nicely. For linens/plates/chairs...honestly, we didn't care at all. We went with the standard settings. Everything looked lovely. Our colors were pink and green, and I was a little worried things would look garish with pink/green tablecloths, but it all turned out bright and cheery--just what we were going for. Regarding bar service, I've had multiple people tell me it was the best service they've ever seen at a wedding. My biggest complaint was that they did such a good job of refilling people's drinks that hardly anyone went up to the actual bar, which made them miss the dessert table! Not much of a complaint! I doubt that I will ever need the services of a large scale caterer again, but I wouldn't hestitate to hire RSVP in the future. They were great!

all very professional in their interactions from the wait staff all the way up to Maura, my event coordinator. RSVP is the BEST.

was all so professional. The bar tenders that they hired were great as well, very professional, I loved not having to worry about anything, they took care of it! I cant recommend RSVP enough, they helped make my dream wedding a reality!

o return a quote and sample menu with green bean casserole, which I had specifically requested. Abbey was flexible and accommodating when I made requests and the food were perfect and everyone loved our signature cocktail of spiked eggnog. Thank you to Abbey and her team for making my day memorable and seamless!

me a detailed quote that included all the elements I wanted for the event. Maura handled our event and was wonderfully responsive throughout the whole process. She didn't bat an eye when we made several changes to the menu after our tasting and additions to our booking in the months leading up to the big day. For us, good food was a big priority - we've been to weddings where the hot food wasn't even warm and the buffet kept running out because the serving containers were so small (and the staging area was far away) - Maura understood my desire for tasty, hot, and a lot of food for guests. We were so excited when our plates tasted just as good as we remembered from the personal tasting we did. We received many compliments! The buffet was also set up very beautifully, which was an added bonus. I also consider RSVP catering to be a GREAT value. We had pre-ceremony drinks, four passed appetizers, a dessert cheese display, and a full buffet for 150 people in the DC Metro area for $13,000. Believe me when I say that it far surpassed the other quotes I got for value. The only issue we had was a miscommunication about the pre-ceremony drinks. We were planning a "winter" wedding for Feb but got surprised with 70 degrees! So we had planned on mulled wine and hot cocoa, but our caterer asked the groom if he'd prefer a cold drink option instead. He said yes, assuming they'd replace the wine with a sangria or something, but instead they replaced it with a non-alcoholic cider. After I found that out, I was bummed because I am a huge fan of having an alcoholic beverage option as a pre-ceremony treat. Just something to keep in mind if you are planning a wedding in a season with variable weather.

Marsha assured me that we would have a dedicated server post ceremony for my husband and our wedding party. Eating the day of was very, very important for me and wow they did not disappoint- that whole myth that you won't eat at your own wedding was totally busted! Our guests RAVED about the food and how delicious everything was! Now here is the above and beyond part- because they really truly took it to the next level in 2 specific ways (other than making sure I got to eat). First: Although I do not personally have food allergies I had several guests with unique and sometimes challenging food allergies- celiac disease and soy allergies. RSVP made these things a non-issue and worked to make sure I could be at ease knowing all of my guests got a meal they knew was safe for them to eat. Second: We had a bit of a curve ball when my pregnant bridesmaid was induced the day before the wedding. Her husband who was a groomsman was able to come to our ceremony. When I asked RSVP if they could pack up 2 meals so the new parents could have a nice meal in the hospital they said absolutely and made sure everything was packed ready to go when the new dad had to leave. Their staff was courteous, smiling, and always made sure my new husband and I had everything we needed. I can say without a doubt you will not be disappointed if you choose RSVP for your special day!

he venue and our other vendors to provide fantastic service all night long. The staff was friendly, well mannered and professional. My wife and were made to feel like priorities. Marla ran a well oiled team that, provided great food, ensured glasses stayed full and graciously cleaned up a mess or two. Thank you RSVP for all you hard work and your delicious food. We had a blast!

n slightly off was that they didn't bring around champagne flutes until the third toast (oops). Although I didn't really have to deal with this first hand because we had a planner, their communication was not great. It took forever for them to get back to us with a quote, menu options, and kept pushing off our tasting until it turned out to be about 2.5 weeks before the wedding (first contacted 6+ months before the wedding). I wish they had been upfront about the reason they kept dodging tastings, that their menu changes a lot every season. They promised that we'd be able to taste on a weekend, but because they pushed back the tasting until September, they ended up being "too busy" for a weekend tasting. We chose RSVP in part because they were one of the 6 approved caterers for our wedding and competitively priced (they gave us a discount). In all, I would recommend them if you have a planner or are not getting married in the fall and have time for a tasting in the winter (May/June/September/October were their busiest months).

SVP contributed to this in the following ways: -Our representatives were responsive, respectful, calm, informative, and extraordinarily helpful throughout the process. They made me feel like I had everything completely under control when I was otherwise very stressed. They answered all of our many, many questions and made suggestions that I never would have thought of (e.g. getting 10-hour candles instead of the little votives we had planned to use; adjustments to the dishes in accordance with our vague concerns; types of linens; placement of tables...). -The service staff at the wedding was the most impressive I've seen, and all of our guests commented on how attentive the staff was without being intrusive. It was white-glove service for a demanding group, all of whom were blown away. -The food was insanely delicious as well as creative, special, and memorable. This wasn't your dry chicken breast and limp vegetables you get at every wedding; this was exciting, interesting, and, to quote my aunt who works in the food business, "luscious." I will be thinking about the maple-glazed pork belly for years (and I don't even like pork). -The value was clear. We considered several caterers and RSVP offered everything we needed (food, alcohol, and rentals) at an excellent price. I have never planned an event like this before (which I assume is pretty common for brides!) and I could not have done it without RSVP.

, arrange for a tasting, etc. Also, my (now) husband and I decided that we didn't want to do a seated dinner; instead, we did buffet style heavy hors devours with a menu that was special to me and my husband. The food was spectacular. Everyone raved about the pierogies, poptarts, and fish and chips specifically. They set aside 2 plates for my husband and I at the very beginning of the night to be sure that we ate. Their staff were fantastic all evening long and made sure the space stayed clean, the food stayed fresh, and the drinks kept flowing. They also helped with the set-up before the event. Honestly, the celebration would not have been so special without RSVP catering.
