    Great Experience

    We had the pleasure of working with Dianna at Catering Reserved. From the day we met Dianna and tasted Catering Reserved food, we knew we were going to choose this catering company for our wedding. Dianna was very helpful and informative and was not trying to push us to purchase anything outside of what we wanted for our day. The food and desserts were great and we even chose to have the donut wall, which was a HUGE hit at our wedding. We also had a great time picking out plate settings and linens from the rental company they work with. Overall a really great experience with Catering Reserved and Dianna. Thank you Dianna!

    Great Experience for Small Reception!

    Catering Reserved did an amazing job for our small October wedding dinner reception! We had a small space to work with and they handled the logistics and set-up with ease. The set-up was elegant, the passed appetizers and plated dinners were delicious! The service was impeccable, no one was wanting for anything the whole time. They cleaned up after and left the place in great shape. We also ordered late night snacks and breakfast casseroles to heat up the following day for brunch. They were all wonderful. And since I did not have a day-of coordinator, it helped that catering team was so organized! Highly recommend!

    Incredible!

    Catering Reserved is an incredible company. During the planning process, they were always so quick to respond, and easy to work with. On our wedding day they worked so hard to ensure our day was perfect and they succeeded! Each and every staff member was so kind and continuously checked up on my husband and I to make sure we had everything we needed. 10/10 would recommend!

    Catering Reserved was Amazing!

    Catering Reserved was absolutely amazing! We hired them for my daughter's wedding and the food was delicious and the staff was wonderful and professional. We tried several catering companies before making our final decision, and once we tried Catering Reserved, the decision was an easy one. The appetizers were great, and the main meals (filet mignon and chicken) were unbelievable. All of our guests just raved about the food. I can't say enough about Catering Reserved.

    Absolutely Wonderful!

    Loved my experience with Catering Reserved! The variety of food was what stood out to me initially. They're also flexible and will work with you on your unique wedding/event. The owner was always responsive and answered all of my questions throughout the planning process. Of course the food was delicious! The staff were all amazing as well. I received multiple comments from my guests about how much they loved the staff. Great menu variety, delicious food, awesome staff. overall amazing experience.

    Best wedding caterer

    Catering Reserved provided the best service and food I've ever had at a wedding. They have a very professional and kind staff. Dianna is extremely communicative, kind, and flexible. I had friends even comment that we had the best bar ever!

    My Son's Wedding

    My son was just married on March 18th. Catering Reserved catered the wedding. The food was beyond amazing. Guests raved about quality and quantity from main meal, appetizers, cheese tray and pretzels. Your staff was amazing, kind, professional and just so on it! The bartenders were so personable and on the ball. Words don't express how much we appreciated working with Dianna and her team.

    Guests Loved Dinner + Dessert!

    Dianna at Catering Reserved is a Godsend! We found ourselves without a caterer ~3 months before our wedding and Dianna was able to schedule us in for a tasting at very short notice. The food options were great! They were also very willing to change around menu items and think creatively about adding specific drinks or desserts. We had a lot of issues leading up to our wedding, but Catering Reserved was able to be VERY flexible with us - even attending two different final walkthru's of our wedding venue, one of which was only a week before the wedding. 1000% recommend this vendor to anyone in the VA/DC area!!

    Yummy food, excellent service!

    Catering Reserved were the prime caterer for my wedding this past weekend. The FOOD was absolutely amazing! Given that we had to postpone our wedding 2 times, we have a great sense of community with our vendors and felt 100% taken care of the entire time . This was the BEST night of my husband and I's lives and we thank a LARGE part of that to the AMAZING FOOD!! The staff was incredibly accommodating and made sure I always had something to nibble or sip on. Many of our guests exclaimed that it was some of the best food they've ever had at any wedding!

    Catering Reserved's reply:

    Aww Allison, you are the best and I love working with you!! Big hugs as we continue this planning process!!

    The Best Caterer and an Amazing Experience!

    From the very beginning, they were fantastic to deal, with. They came up with a menu that perfectly fit our tastes. Once they showed up, we didn't have to worry about a thing. The staff was phenomenal, going above and beyond what we had asked for, from setting out the desserts, to serving the bride and groom, to putting all the leftovers in storage containers and putting it away for us. They cleaned up everything and put it away so that, we didn't have to worry about it. We would use this caterer at any and every event in the future. The food was mouthwatering. The orzo was perfectly cooked. The salmon was juicy and also perfectly cooked. The beef was tender and delicious. Everything was fresh made with high quality ingredients. Don't even waste your time looking for another caterer. These people are it!

    Creative & Professional

    We lost our initial caterer last minute due to COVID and it must have been kismet that we found Catering Reserved so quickly after because, “WOW!” Dianna and her team worked thoughtfully and flawlessly to help us develop a menu for our cocktail hour and wedding reception. The passed hors d’ouevres were a hit, especially the miniature Korean pork tacos. Their food was very creative and did not feel passe at all (that Mac and Cheese was phenomenal). Their staff was very professional & courteous. They made sure everyone did not go home hungry, packing our leftovers and making sure the pregnant bridesmaid at our wedding got an extra bit of Mac and cheese to take home. They were great to work with and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a caterer

    Amazing from start to finish!

    Catering Reserved was recommended to us by our venue. From the first phone conversation with Dianna to the completion of our daughter's wedding last weekend, we knew we made the right decision to use them as our caterer. When Virginia went to a 25 person maximum, their flexibility, responsiveness, and compassion was put into action. Not all vendors responded the same way. When our daughter changed venues 2 weeks before her wedding date, Dianna made a special trip out there to evaluate the space. Fast forward to the reception, we were wowed by the beauty and precision of the set up, the professionalism of the staff, the excellence of the presentation and quality of the food, and the help with cleanup. Hard to imagine, but the food at the reception was even better than at the tasting. In other words, we cannot say enough, nor show enough gratitude, to the outstanding service we received. Do not hesitate to use Catering Reserved.

    Catering Reserved's reply:

    Lauren - It was a complete pleasure getting to know you and your family. Your daughter was absolutely gorgeous and the definition of a glowing happy bride on her wedding day, despite all of the uncertainty on the weeks leading up to the wedding. I am so glad that we were able to meet your expectations for the day and wish you all the very best in the future!! Much Love - Dianna

    Top Notch All the Way

    Catering Reserved made our daughter’s wedding absolutely perfect! The food was fabulous, the service was stellar, and attention to detail was amazing!

    The bride & groom said they would not have changed a single thing about their day. We just cannot thank Dianna and her crew enough for making it all happen.

    We were able to fully enjoy our day and be present in the moment because we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We knew everything was in good hands.

    I cannot recommend Catering Reserved highly enough!

    Scrumptious food

    Catering reserved was amazing to work with. They provided amazing food, appropriate labor and great suggestions for tables, linens , etc. They definitely went above and beyond to make our daughter’s wedding memorable for all the attendee’s. We would definitely use them again.

    Catering Reserved's reply:

    It was a pleasure working with you and your family!! Thank you for taking the time to review our services and I hope to see you again in the future! All the Best - Dianna

    Amazing food and service

    Not only did catering reserved DELICIOUS food for our wedding last Saturday, but they were so flexible on all the million changes we had to do due to COVID-19. We postpone the marriage once, downsize the wedding twice and change our mind regarding food like a hundred times and Vivian was always so receptive about our changes. Catering reserved made our dream wedding come true even during the pandemic.

    The Best Food Service I've Ever Experienced

    My husband & I are so happy we chose Catering Reserved to cater our wedding! Dianna fused an American and Indian menu that blew us and our guests away. She was incredibly helpful with table setups and covid compliance, and her staff was very friendly. My favorite part is that Dianna made sure we were fed during the frenzy of our wedding. Thank you for everything!

    Catering Reserved's reply:

    Kirstan - You were so stunning on your wedding day!! I will be sending you a few behind the scenes photos that I took. Congratulations to you and Chris - I wish you the very best in the future!! ~ Dianna

    Great food at a great value!

    When looking for catering for our wedding, we found Catering Reserved to be the best value with a great variety of options. Not only this, but the food tasted great too -- as approved by many of our guests' comments throughout the evening! Also, Vivian was great throughout the whole process, especially given the changes we had to make with guest count because of the current situation. On time, professional, and efficient through the whole night!

    Perfect Caterer

    Dianna was such a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and clear with all of the information. She was so helpful along the way and helped us with options at the walkthrough when we had to make changes due to covid. The reception was beautiful! The tables looked so nice with the finishing touches. She made sure we were taken care of. We also got many compliments on the food! Everything was covid compliant and safe. We had a friend who has a bakery, make all of our desserts and Catering Reserved set it all up and made it look so nice! We were very pleased with everything. The food tastes great, the set up is so classy, and you get tear down with trash removal all for a reasonable price! Nothing more you can ask for! Highly recommend Catering Reserved for not just a wedding but any larger gathering!

    Catering Reserved's reply:

    Melissa - Your wedding was so much fun! You were a beautiful bride, I loved the venue and you and Brendan were such a joy to work with throughout the planning process!! I wish you both the very best in your marriage and hope that our paths cross again some day!! Cheers! Dianna

    Amazing food, amazing staff!

    Catering Reserved is the real deal when it comes to event catering. They were recommended to us through our venue, Sweeney Barn, and they exceeded expectations in all areas! They provided all of our food and rentals, as well as food and beverage service. The staff members were so friendly and worked so hard to give us the most amazing cocktail hour and reception. We had a barbeque buffet that people are still talking about! I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a full-service catering company.

    Catering Reserved's reply:

    It was truly our pleasure to service your wedding! You and your family were a complete joy to meet and get to know during the planning process. Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. I wish you the very best in your marriage and future endeavors!!

    Nothing short of amazing

    Dianna really made our experience with Catering Reserved so easy. She created a family style dinner option for our reception with high quality food options.She was there to answer any questions that I had and provide her expertise to help us save money as well. The food was delicious and the service the company provided our guests were exceptional. I would highly recommend this company for a reception!

    Respectful, professional and flexible

    We had a lot of last minute changes we needed to make to our menu and Dianna was beyond helpful and understanding. From the testing all the way to our wedding day, she never hesitated to go the extra mile and make sure everything was exactly the way my husband and I wanted it to be. The China looked very high quality, the napkins and table setting were gorgeous and the food was amazing! I had no complaints.

    Amazing Experience

    Vivian and her team did an amazing job with our wedding. Vivian had great familiarity with our venue at Top of the Town, and was so flexible with requests we made about dietary restrictions. We received a lot of compliments at our reception on the food, and also on how smoothly the catering team handled everything! We were so happy we booked Catering Reserved for our reception!
    P.s. the edamame dumplings are the bomb.

    Took great care of us!

    Catering Reserved really came through on the day of our wedding. We knew from our tasting that their food was going to be amazing (and our guests most certainly agreed as well!), but the service we received during our reception was incredible. The Catering Reserved staff made all the difference; we can say with confidence that booking with them was a solid decision. People always warn couples that you won't be able to eat at the wedding or be able to enjoy your food, but we have quite the opposite to say for our wedding! Catering Reserved took great care of us--they made plates for us ahead of time, we had enough time to eat, and they made sure our glasses were *never* empty the entire night. The event manager on the day-of even sought us out while we were doing our photo sessions just to ask if we wanted drinks or food! We were blown away and so grateful by their service--we were able to enjoy our reception and food because of them!

    Delicious Brunch Buffet

    Absolutely loved catering reserved brunch menu! I’ve never actually used a catering company before so when we had our tasting I was blown away! I was expecting it to be super basic and bland and taste like resort food or like any buffet restaurant food. I was so impressed with all the flavors. It was well seasoned and fresh and just over all delicious I couldn’t wait for our guest to have it at our wedding. I’ve been to weddings before where the food taste average and looks boring. I was super proud to hear everyone loved the food and happy to see some going back for seconds! I think I even heard someone had 3 omelettes!!! Couldn’t have been happier with our selections and Dianna was super responsive and helpful with all the my questions and changes! Thank you to the team!
