    Spilled Milk exceeded expectations in every way!

    Spilled Milk exceeded expectations. When it comes to wedding food - we had relatively modest expectations for a party with 220 guests - at a museum no less without any real kitchen facilities. Spilled Milk blew us away during the tasting and we are thrilled to say the food was just as good on the day of the event. Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. We received numerous compliments during and after the event from our guests - everyone wanted to know who we used! We also loved their attention to detail and creative presentation. The service staff and bartenders were also terrific. I would not hesitate to use Spilled Milk again and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the greater DC area.

    Thankful for this caterer!

    Heather and the whole Spilled Milk team was incredible. Our venue was beautiful but difficult to work with, and the moment that the caterer came into the picture all of that stress went away. They had everything under control, gave great advice, handled everything flawlessly, were communicative, and the product was quality. Great food, great service, and overall a positive experience.

    Seamless, professional, kind

    Amit and the spilled milk team were absolutely amazing to work with. They were flexible with any specific requests we had, understanding with timelines and partnerships, and made our wedding weekend memorable. If I had the opportunity, I would work with them over and over again. My husband and I cannot recommend them enough!!

    Absolute perfection!

    We used Spilled Milk to cater our wedding on 10/21/23 for 80 people and their team was phenomenal. Heather did an amazing job with the planning, coordination, and follow-through with our catering and equipment rentals (chairs, tables, linens, etc.) Heather was also very responsive to our email inquiries and sensitive to the few special requests that we had. Both the tasting and wedding day meals were absolutely delicious. In fact, we had several guests at our wedding inquire about who catered the wedding because the food was just so good! Additionally, the service was excellent and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I cannot say enough good things about Spilled Milk and highly recommend them for catering your wedding or other special event!

    Perfection

    Amit and his team were recommended to us by our wedding planner, CherryBlossomEvents, and we could not imagine the day without them. From first looking through menu possibilities, we were guided on guest count and seasonal recommendations, while also giving us the sky-is- the-limit creativity to make our day what we dreamed of.
    We will talk about the food for the rest of our lives (as will our families and friends) but the real icing on the cake was the service. Starting with Marija, who helped with our tasting, she could not have been more attentive, sweetly suggestive, and encouraging for our menu planning. Secondly, Amit carried us through the planning and into the walk through process, assisting in all logistics and completely navigating any and all needs- including coordinating with vendors, mapping table scapes and rental placement, and fearlessly situating head tables, dance floors, and tents! Lastly, he was there on our day with a full staff who were caring, enthusiastic, friendly, and accommodating to our 200 person guest count. They made our family feel special, our guests feel taken care of, and my husband and and I felt beyond spoiled to have SpilledMilk serving on our wedding. We are still having guests talking about how the servers placed plates coordinated to perfection. It was an experience they haven’t seen at many weddings. From appetizers flowing during cocktails, to raw bar extravaganzas, to serving our special dessert from a local vendor, it was all experience focused and I can’t imagine anyone else in making our day what it was. A Seamless magical experience, and we have SM and Amit to thank.

    Best decision of wedding planning

    Hiring spilled milk to cater our wedding was probably one of the best decisions we made. Heather was a dream to work with - very responsive and knowledgeable. Not only was the food delicious, but they bring an army to work your wedding. The service was top notch, and got compliments all night. You can’t go wrong trusting spilled milk with your wedding!

    Great food, amazing staff

    We were absolutely thrilled we used SMC and Heather for our wedding. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, adding an extra touch of elegance to our special day. The staff were exceptional, attentive, and ensured that everything ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better team to make our wedding an absolute dream. Highly recommend!

    Incredible caterer to work with!

    Spilled Milk was the most incredible caterer and we are so happy we hired them for our wedding. Throughout the entire planning process, Amit and his team was responsive, communicative and overall lovely. Our first tasting was absolutely incredible and an event itself. We planned it on my 30th birthday and they went above and beyond to make me feel so special. They offer a large array of delicious, creative and unique pass arounds, stations and desserts as well as specialty cocktails. From there we were able filter down what we wanted to serve at the wedding (was not easy since everything was so good). Amit was so great to work with as well, he was involved with the layout of the wedding day and the rentals. They made our wedding day a dream. The service was amazing, the food was incredible and all our guests couldn't stop talking about the catering. Best catering company in the DMV area.

    BEST food & hardest working team - hire Spilled Milk!

    Spilled Milk just catered our wedding and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Where to even begin?!

    Food & Drinks
    All of the food and drinks were DELICIOUS. Everything was cooked to perfection and everyone’s meals were served hot. All meals were served right on time, and none of our guests were ever waiting to be served. All of the passed apps got rave reviews by our guests, but the late night snacks were the real star of the show - mini pizzas with customized boxes, boozy milkshakes, and tater tots.

    Staff & Service
    The entire Spilled Milk staff was extremely professional, hardworking, and kind. All servers anticipated our guests needs throughout the entire evening- constantly refilling glasses, clearing plates, etc. We could not believe how quickly the team transformed the main ballroom space- setup and breakdown was flawless.

    And finally, Amit and Marija's guidance throughout the entire wedding planning process was unmatched. From our wedding tasting with Amit, to our final walk through led by Marija, to managing our rentals, we felt so supported by Spilled Milk every step of the way.

    Amazing experience all the way!

    Heather and her team made the catering at my wedding so wonderful. She really worked with us and our budget to make sure we could have a great experience for our guests. Her bartenders and event servers were attentive and engaging with us throughout the whole night. If you want a catering company that will listen to your needs and produce what you want look no further than Spilled Milk.

    Great food, great team!

    We had a wonderful experience working with Spilled Milk for our wedding in late August. We loved the unique and creative options that Spilled Milk offered for everything — from our cocktail hour drinks and passed bites, to our dinner entrees and desserts, we were able to really customize our catering, making our wedding day all the more special. We also had a great experience working with Amit, who was always very responsive, accommodating, and clearly knew his stuff, not only about catering but wedding event planning in general! He had great advice and we often felt like Spilled Milk was more than just a caterer. We would definitely recommend Spilled Milk to anyone looking for delicious and unique food options with a truly professional team, and we would happily work with them again!

    Book them!!!

    Spilled Milk easily has the best food, not only for your wedding, but for any event you plan on having. Personally, I wish I could eat their food for dinner every day it was that delicious. Every detail of cocktail hour and dinner was not missed!! They personalized the menu to resemble my husband and I, and most importantly it was yummy. We had chicken and waffles as a dinner option and people just loved that. The crew is SO friendly, and they’re on the floor the entire time of your event, so if you need something you’re not looking for a waiter. Amit was even extremely helpful during our final walk through with our venue. We enjoyed every second of working with them!!

    Our guests said this was the best wedding food they've had!

    Our wedding on May 20th went so well and a huge piece of that was because of the experience Spilled Milk's team created for our wedding. We received SO many compliments from our guests on all the food served and every single staff member at our event was so kind and helpful too.

    From our catering tasting to our event walkthrough to our actual wedding day, Heather from Spilled Milk also made this such an easy process as we planned such an important day in our next chapter as a couple. She helped us craft such a wonderful menu, keeping our budget in mind, and experience for our guests -- we will definitely highly recommend Spilled Milk to any DMV brides.

    Guests raved about the food!

    We used Spilled Milk to cater our DC wedding for 85 guests. They provided dessert as well. We were not disappointed. Some of our guests had dietary limitations and Spilled Milk was able to accommodate them (gluten restriction, kosher requests). Guests raved about the food. Many of our friends and family told us this was the best wedding meals they have ever had. We agree! A+ food and A+ service!!!

    Wedding celebration in Washington DC

    Spilled Milk catered a beautiful celebration for our daughter. The food and service were exceptional. Cannot recommend Amit and his team enough. They delivered flawlessly from appetizer passing to the late night snacks. Many of our guests asked us, who is your caterer, they could not believe the quality and creativity of the food. One aspect that stood out to us is the tasting and the final delivery were the same quality! Just awesome

    They made it a special day that we will always remember. Thank you Spilled Milk

    Delicious food that is worth it!

    We recently had the pleasure of using Spilled Milk for our wedding of 125 people. There was no morsel of food left on our guest's plate. Everyone enjoyed the food and beverages provided by Spilled Milk. I highly recommend doing a tasting to curate your vision for your big day - they have something for everyone!

    Deeeeeeelicious!!!

    Food was probably the most important thing for us with our blended Persian/American wedding, and we really struggled to find a caterer that could fit our needs and budget, but Spilled Milk absolutely knocked it out of the park. For one thing, every other caterer we interviewed said they could do Persian food, and then would propose a menu with things like channa masala and dal. Wrong country!! But SMC proposed ACTUAL Persian food, so they were already a frontrunner before even the tasting, and the tasting itself sealed the deal. Absolutely everything we tasted in the planning stages was phenomenal, and the food served at our wedding was exactly what we expected - no loss of quality at all. Heather, our account rep, was with us every step of the planning process including meeting with us at the showroom for Select Event Group, SMC's rental partner--Heather always had great advice and suggestions to make us feel more at ease about the frankly overwhelming planning process! The staff who worked our wedding day were efficient, courteous, and responsive as well, and everyone's dietary restrictions were accommodated without a hitch. Not a single complaint, we can't recommend SMC enough!

    We could not have been more pleased with Spilled Milk Catering. Not only was the food delicious but the presentation of everything was unique and creative. We are still getting complimentary calls from friends and family. The staff was excellent and very attentive. I recommend this caterer very highly - you will not be disappointed!

    Excellent food and experience

    We had passed appetizers and stations with Spilled Milk Catering and thought it was excellent. The pulled pork donut is to die for (I ate a half dozen). Their shawarma and southern comfort options were delicious. They contracted with a vendor for sushi and it too was excellent. It was also a pleasure working with Amit to select the menu. The event itself was well-staffed and smooth.

    Excellent food and service

    My husband and I knew from the jump that having good food at our wedding was one of our highest priorities, but were gobsmacked by how expensive catering in the DMV area is. We luckily chanced upon Spilled Milk Catering. We did a cross reference across at least 4 different catering companies and found that SMC provides the best value for the services offered. Our point of contact Heather is responsive and professional, and I really appreciated her interest in keeping things efficient. Her honest opinions when we got to the equipment rental stage was also super appreciated. She could've tried to sell us things we didn't really need, but she didn't. She really heard us on what we wanted to prioritize, which I don't think is always the case in this industry. On the day of our wedding, our guests raved about the food (the Parmesan chicken in particular). I highly recommend working with Heather and SMC for your catering needs.

    Tasty and Friendly Staff

    Spilled Milk catered for our wedding at Woodend Sanctuary in MD. The food was excellent, especially the passed appetizers. The table settings were beautiful and our day ran very smoothly! All of the staff at our event were so kind and helpful. PC: https://shawneecustalow.com/

    Fantastic!

    The food for our wedding was delicious (guests raved!) and our point of contact, Heather, was very helpful from our first phone call right up to the day of. Our menu was very much catered to our likes and needs. I have a gluten intolerance and they were able to cater to that without a problem and I was able to eat almost every single thing on my wedding day (which was awesome)!

    The staff also worked like a well-oiled machine and the fact that a personal server for the bride and groom was included was incredibly helpful (probably wouldn't have eaten if not for her bringing food directly to us). Would for sure recommend Spilled Milk Catering to a friend!

    DAR Constitution Hall Wedding

    My wife and I used Spilled Milk as our caterer for our wedding at DAR Constitution Hall and they were true professionals. Amit was a joy to work with and extremely flexible on options we selected for our event. Providing all necessary tables, chairs, place settings, etc also mad our lives that much easier. We look forward to working with Spilled Milk again at our next party!

    Raised the Bar for Wedding Food

    We hired Spilled Milk for hors d'oeuvres, a plated dinner, and chairs/tables/linens/place settings. Heather was very responsive, including to week-of changes to table sizes and adding cold drinks for the ceremony. They had a lot of options for linens and table settings at the baseline price. Heather was very on top of things and knew our venue well, so clearly outlined what the best layout would be for everything and coordinated seamlessly with our day-of coordinator. They had a ton of options for hors d'oeuvres and meals and the vendor meals were included in the price. It was a much better value than many of the other caterers we got quotes from. They were also very responsive in terms of guests' dietary restrictions. Most importantly, the food and service were excellent. You don't often rave about wedding food, but we received multiple compliments from guests and thoroughly enjoyed everything that was served. The servers kept everyone's glasses filled, and one even hung out near me and my husband while we were doing photos so he could bring us much-needed drinks and snacks in between photo groups. A great experience - would recommend!
