    Delicious, attractive, & sustainable!

    Simply Fresh was great to work with and delivered a fabulous meal for our 150 guests! We needed a menu that was mostly gluten-free, with vegetarian options, accommodating a wide range of food allergies—and with strong sustainability policies. Several caterers were scared off, but not Simply Fresh! They came up with a customized menu that met all our needs and was extremely tasty to boot! The tasting experience at their offices in the spring was a truly delightful experience, and they were great to work with throughout. They also have a partnership with Select Event Rentals, so we were able to get all the customized linens, plates, flatware, etc. that we needed through our catering contract without needing to hire yet another vendor. Simply Fresh lives up to the name—they cook the food in their trucks onsite, so it is all fresh and hot, with the bare minimum of wasted extra food. We also really appreciated Simply Fresh’s focus on using regional, sustainable food and composting all the food waste. The food presentation was extremely classy—it was one of the nicest buffets I’ve seen—and our guests were raving about the food. In short, Simply Fresh is a class act and you can’t go wrong hiring them!

    Yay Simply Fresh!

    Simply Fresh catered our wedding at Brookside Gardens earlier this month (October 2023) and they did an amazing job. We had events at three different locations at the Gardens and Simply Fresh managed to have everything up and running, looking great at each location. The servers were incredibly friendly and attentive to our guests (and to us) and the food was amazing! Simply Fresh was willing to work with us throughout the lead up to the wedding and was very flexible with regards to our budgetary needs. All in all, we had about 125 people at our wedding and we ended up doing a plated dinner (with hors d'oeuvres and bar service) for about $13k. Great value and great service!

    great experience!

    Our wedding day was wonderful, and a big part of that was thanks to the excellent catering and venue setup. The food and place settings were lovely, combining quality with a charming presentation. We're especially thankful to Brittany for her keen attention to detail and ability to smoothly handle our venue's unique challenges. Her efforts with our planner to ensured everything ran smoothly, which really helped make our day special. We appreciate all the hard work and professionalism that went into making our wedding a beautiful and memorable event.

    Simply Fresh is Simply the Best!

    Brittany, Lexi, and the entire Simply Fresh team were a true joy to work with, and my husband Jay and I recommend them wholeheartedly. From the first tasting through planning and the day of our wedding reception, Simply Fresh was kind, professional, and provided such tasty food. Simply Fresh played a pivotal role in the best weekend of our lives, and you are in good hands with the teams' quality food and top-notch service.

    August wedding for 80, excellent experience

    We had a lovely experience working with the Simply Fresh team for our wedding.

    When comparing the menus and proposals that different caterers put together, it really felt like Simply Fresh had spent time listening to us and personalizing to fit our actual tastes. They also were flexible and helpful to further refine the menu, adjusting flavors and recipes (even finicky things like bringing a favorite brand of pickle!) to our and our guests tastes. We received tons of compliments on the food and staging after our wedding, and I'd work with them again in an instant.

    Our coordinator Hillary Clagett was extremely helpful, walking us through the vendor selection and communication process, and making sure that we were on top of deadlines and decisions. We appreciated her taking the reins on things like seating charts, coordinating DJ load in, and venue visits. Day-of she went above and beyond to make sure that we and our families had everything we needed to relax and actually enjoy the wedding.

    Very good service

    The service was excellent. I was overheated and not feeling well during dinner. Several catering staff members checked in on me and offered solutions to help cool me and help me feel better. The food was also excellent. Since I wasn’t feeling well during dinner, I didn’t get to enjoy the food while it was fresh. The catering staff packed up all the food for me to take home. Food was still amazing the entire week after my wedding.

    Simply Fresh Catering - Outstanding

    From start to finish, Simply Fresh catered the wedding of our dreams. Their service was extremely personalized, professional, and to top it off, kind. We are a multi-racial couple, and we had wanted to incorporate elements of both cultures into the catering, and Simply Fresh absolutely knocked it out of the park with menu items that shouldn't have flowed together (think shrimp noodle cups and barbecue chicken), but absolutely did. I could not recommend Simply Fresh more.

    Excellent experience with Simply Fresh

    We used Simply Fresh for a rehearsal dinner/party for 85 guests. Hilary was wonderful and coordinated the evening. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was outstanding. The staff were very responsive to any request. We had an ice cream cart for dessert and had several guests with peanut and nut allergies. I was very impressed by the chef as he found several peanut/nut-free ice cream options for these guests. Overall, our experience was excellent with Simply Fresh and I would highly recommend them.

    Amazing Caterer and Florals!

    We used Simply Fresh as our wedding caterer and our florals. Throughout the whole process, Simply Fresh was amazing! They helped us design the perfect menu for our summer wedding. During our tasting, they incorporated our feedback and made changes to the menu based on our recommendations. We received so many compliments from our wedding guests on how great the food was. In particular, we had a fantastic experience working with Hillary Claggett. Hillary knew our venue inside and out. She made a number of helpful recommendations during our walkthrough, put together a floor plan for us, and made sure we ate during our wedding. We also want to give a special shoutout to all of the bartenders, waiters, and set-up staff from Simply Fresh who were all so kind and helpful on our big day. Finally, we can't say enough great things about the job that Andrea Scoville and Simply Fresh's floral team did to help make our wedding so beautiful. Overall, it was a five-star experience all around and I would highly recommend using Simply Fresh for your wedding.

    Fantastic Wedding with Simply Fresh

    Simply Fresh did an amazing job creating a fun atmosphere with great food for our wedding. We had many compliments from our guests on the quality of the food and the staff were fantastic throughout the day. Communication was very good leading up to the event and they paid attention to all of the details we wanted to include.

    Simply the Best!

    Simply Fresh did a wonderful job catering our wedding! They were responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. The day-of went flawlessly - from setup through cocktail hour through dinner and the dessert bar. Many guests remarked on the delicious steak and fish, all cooked on-site by Simply Fresh. We really enjoyed working with a women-owned small business and would highly recommend! Many thanks to Charlotte, Jocelyn, Maya and the rest of the Simply Fresh team!

    Wonderful experience – from start to finish!

    Simply Fresh did an amazing job catering my son’s Bar Mitzvah. We were sold after the tasting with Charlotte. It was one of the best meals and evenings we’ve had since the start of the pandemic. The Simply Fresh team worked with us to come up with a menu to wow all of our guests – kids meal, gluten-free and vegetarian options, and the incredible Moroccan chicken which received rave reviews. We especially appreciated their help making our event nut-free and safe for all of our guests. Maya was very responsive and fantastic to work with throughout all of the planning and coordinated a great team onsite the night of the Bar Mitzvah. Highly recommend Simply Fresh for an extremely well-organized and delicious event!

    Amazing experience with Simply Fresh for our wedding! The entire team from the first contact was friendly and attentive. The food is absolutely amazing and they will work with you to get you exactly what you want for everything, and don't mind when you change your mind a few times like we did! We worked with Brittany and she made sure every detail of our wedding was perfect, she made the day of stress free for us! Could not recommend working with this team more! You won't regret it!

    Simply Fresh catered our wedding at Brookside Gardens in MD. It was a great experience working with them from the beginning: Charlotte provided a compelling proposal with reasonable pricing; We had an enjoyable tasting with Chef Katie where we customized our menu; Maya and Celine provided great planning and on-site coordination and were able to fulfill all of our requests. Our guests told us that the staff were very polite, friendly, and professional. Overall, the service was above and beyond and we would 100% recommend them.

    They take care of your needs!

    Searching for a catering was much more difficult than I thought. I had multiple caterers who took a long time to respond, never responded, or just missed scheduled calls with me. Simply Fresh was the exact opposite of that. I filled out their form online, and the very next day, one of their staff people (Charlotte) called me. From there on out, they were extremely responsive and helpful without being pushy.

    Next, we had a tasting, and we were so impressed by their food and their flexibility in changing up menu items. After that tasting, we knew there was no comparison to the other caterers we'd been in contact with. They are such professionals, and they guided us along the way. By the time the wedding day came, we were confident that they had the day covered for us., and of course, they delivered. I can't recommend them enough!

    Delicious food & amazing service!

    We hosted a wedding last weekend and chose Simply Fresh to caterer our event. We chose Simply Fresh because they were very familiar with our venue & have done many events both small & large. Maya was our team captain and worth her weight in gold! She took over for us once we signed our contract and was outstanding every step of the way! From our tasting to the event, she communicated exceptionally well and helped make suggestions when we weren't sure. We used their platforms to communicate and their responses were always timely. We decided on food stations and though I was a little hesitant, thinking this would not be as elegant as the venue would warrant, we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and we received many compliments! Maya & her staff were professional, pleasant, & accommodating throughout the entire process and helped us host an amazing event! I highly recommend for a cost-effective event & delicious food!

    Simply Fresh - Amazing Caterer with Great Food!!

    Maya and the Simply Fresh Team were absolutely amazing. They showed us the utmost professionalism through and through. From the very beginning when we were searching for a food vendor to the reception itself, the Simply Fresh Team continued to be responsive and so helpful. It's clear that they understand how stressful planning a wedding can be and went out of their way to help me out and make things as easy as possible each and every time. The food was great quality - we had lots of compliments throughout the entire night. I would recommend them to anyone for any event! They really helped make our wedding a night to remember. Thanks, Simply Fresh!!

    You should have hired them yesterday!

    Working with the Simply Fresh Events team was one of the best decisions we made when wedding planning. From the initial call with Buffy, to the countless back and forth emails/chats with Jocelyn and Maya, and culminating with our perfectly executed wedding with the help of Brittany and Rose, I cannot recommend this company more. We're two weeks out from our wedding and still getting comments about how great the food was and how great the staff were. Every special food requested was respected and honored; my sister-in-law has many dietary restrictions and Simply Fresh made sure she didn't go hungry at the wedding. Hire them for your wedding, your next big event or even just when you don't want to cook- you will not regret it. I adore this company.

    Hire Simply Fresh ASAP!

    From our first phone call all the way through the end of our reception Simply Fresh was truly incredible! I love the fact that they cook all their food on site and it was just as fresh at the wedding as it was at our tasting. Simply Fresh Event was so accommodating with all of my family's dietary needs. Knowing that my mom and I both can't eat gluten they ensured that everything at dinner would be 100% gluten free. Usually this does not include the bread so I was so pleasantly surprised when they informed me that I could also eat the dinner rolls at the table. Everyone I worked with at Simply Fresh Events was truly wonderful, but especially Maya who was there throughout the planning process and the wedding. I can't thank Maya and the rest of the team enough for making my wedding the best night.

    Simply Fresh was great to work with from the start to the finish of our wedding journey! Buffy was great to work with building out our menu and Maya was super responsive and executed our event flawlessly. Great value for their price, and we received so many compliments about how great the food tasted and how beautiful the setup was. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

    Simply Wonderful

    Simply Fresh was simply wonderful. When the bride and bridegroom selected Simply Fresh, after their tasting, they knew the food would be excellent. What they really didn’t understand was that they would also enjoy such great event planning. Everyone at Simply Fresh was very knowledgeable and efficient, as well as experienced with the ins and outs of the venue. They were sensitive to and sensible about accommodating all our preferences. They helped make the wedding a beautiful, meaningful, and fun mixture of our extended families’ different cultures and traditions. We highly recommend them.
