    Yummy Greatness

    I recommend Yummy Goodness for EVERYTHING. Every event, party, random Tuesday evening. Lori and chef Kellie and all of the staff were absolutely wonderful. From the first contact all the way through the day-of, Lori was extremely kind, patient and responsive. The tasting was fantastic. We were supposed to have four people there, but life happens, so it wound up being only my mom and me. We ate well, and then Lori brought out trays for us to take the leftovers home to those who couldn't make it. We all ate well for days. Lori was helpful in taking care of all the little changes and additions to the menu. She was great in advising about rentals for plates, glassware, silverware and other necessities.
    We also used them for our bar/alcohol service. It was so nice to have them insured and ABC licensed. They worked with us on signature drinks for the cocktail hour and with the beer selection we wanted.
    Lori and Rhonda from Hunt Club Farm worked well together and met on their own to decide the layouts and locations for food, bar and staging.
    I wish I could go back and attend as a guest. As the bride, I didn't get to partake in the cocktail hour because we were taking pictures. The dinner was wonderful.
    The one suggestion I would make would be to cut the chicken breasts in the Cordon Bleu in half or thirds. They were GIGANTIC! Usually that would be fantastic, but for a buffet, it was a little unwieldy. It would also be nice to have a mini cocktail snack table for the wedding party at the main photograph site. We didn't get to partake in any of the cocktail snacks except when the photographer brought some of the candied bacon over for tasting. It would be a nice touch and easy to put together.

    The name says it all!

    The Yummy Goodness Catering literally has the perfect name because it is a whole lot of Yummy Goodness but they are so much more than their food. My husband and I got married last week to the day in the middle of a nor'easter. Leading up to the day I think everyone was a little nervous about the weather and if the wedding was going to be able to take place. Yummy Goodness reached out to me to check in and make sure that I was doing okay, they reassured me that inside or out the day would be beautiful and they would be there to feed our guests. Thankfully the weather was perfect and our guests got to enjoy the most amazing food we have eaten outside together as planned. We went with the Tuscan Wedding menu with some changes to fit our needs and I can't recommend it enough! Our guests are still talking about it and we have enjoyed leftovers every day this week!

    DELICIOUS food, great service!

    This is the best wedding food I've ever had.... and my guests are still raving about it! We hired Yummy Goodness for our small, intimate beach wedding with 25 people total. We had them drop off the food and served ourselves, buffet-style.

    They were incredible to work with throughout the whole process. We had an initial phone call with them before we hired them to discuss our ideas, have our questions answered, and get their ideas/professional opinions. They were so incredibly nice, had great suggestions, and it all was for a reasonable price. They checked in with us before the wedding, and were able to adjust our menu and headcount a few weeks before.

    The food was absolutely delicious, and there was plenty of food for everyone - even some leftovers. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who wants their guests to be talking about their food months after the wedding! :)

    Perfect food, perfect service!

    I want to host another event just so I can hire Yummy Goodness again!!
    Kelly, Lori, and the whole crew made our rehearsal dinner/Korean wedding ceremony an absolutely perfect event! The team was incredibly professional, organized, and delightfully creative from the planning process all the way through the event. My husband and I wanted to have a mix of American and Korean food, and Kelly and her team came up with a delicious and unique menu including kimchi chicken and waffles, fried chicken baos, family style crispy pork belly, grilled short rib lettuce wraps, and an ice cream sundae bar — plus tons more, no one went hungry! All of our guests absolutely loved the food and are still talking about it!
    On top of all of this, the best part about Yummy Goodness is their super fun and attentive staff that made sure my husband and I were happy and all of our guests had a wonderful time. It definitely shows through their impeccable work that they enjoy working together! Would definitely recommend for your next event.

    We hired this catering company to cater our backyard wedding. We met with one of the owners and she met at our home and basically helped plan everything and we couldn’t have been happier. Their staff was amazing as well as the food. We received several compliments about how great the food and the staff were. You can’t go wrong with hiring this team!

    If you are looking for some of the best food ever created to serve at your wedding, then you should call Yummy Goodness immediately. Literally drop everything you are doing and call them now.

    The food was insane. Every wedding guest was raving about it and just about every plate was clean. People are still texting me days after the wedding asking about the cheddar biscuit and honey chipotle chicken sliders or the shrimp and cheesy grits. That's not even going into the mac & cheese vs mashed potato bar. Heaven.

    Yummy Goodness crushed it and we knew they would, when the food was so good my bride-to-be cried at our tasting because it was the best thing she had ever eaten.

    The owner chefs at Yummy Goodness were easy to work with, completely professional, beyond warm and genuine, experienced, and the food turned out to be the VERY BEST wedding food I've ever had! So many of my guests were utterly impressed and were fighting over the last bites of several dishes. My wedding reception was a small, intamite, in-home affair and Yummy Goodness made me feel as if I were hosting a royal ball. Their attention to detail, from the display of the food to the creation of the menu was so heartfelt and amazing that I would reccomend them to anyone for any type of event that needs food. I had a mostly all vegan/vegetarian menu and my guests did not even miss meat! I did have some Kickin' Crab Chowder that was out of this world delicious...so I heard. They also made the day so easy from set- up to break-down. All of the employees were also amazing!!!

    Yummy Goodness supplied our wedding food and let me tell you what a great choice we made! They say there are 2 things people remember most about a wedding..DJ and Food. We selected the southern menu with consisted of pulled pork and chicken quarters as well as the shrimp and grits. I still have people commenting on how great the food was. The staff was helpful and courteous. I would highly recommend.

    Yummy Goodness did an outstanding job for our Sandbridge wedding in March. Staff were attentive to our guests and the food was delicious! Guests have been raving about the food and said it is the best they have had at a wedding. The presentation was like out of a magazine. Lori was so helpful when deciding on food selection for our special day. The Brisket is a must!

    AMAZING! I have planned weddings for years and when it came to my own I selected the best caterer by far. They were extremely flexible with our menu (I'm a vegetarian and my husband loves meat) and we had the perfect balance to please everyone's palate. We received rave reviews about the food the day of our wedding. They helped to guide the timeline during the reception and the entire staff was outstanding. Thank you Yummy Goodness!!!!

    Wow! What can I say? Lori, Kelly and the whole team were amazing!!! We had chosen Yummy Goodness back in May to cater our wedding and gone to their location to try some food samples back then as well. The food was superb ad meeting them in person was a nice touch as well. After we settled on a menu suited for our needs (Italian family and Southern family), then we kept them up to date with numbers of attendees and what we need to do. They were so accommodating with ideas and suggestions for food and even supplied food for the kids that were downstairs not in the actual wedding. I was worried we weren't going to have enough food or that someone would complain. BUT everyone loved the food and there was plenty of it. Since we were the wedding grooms, we really didn't get to eat much, but we heard from so many people that they loved the food, all of the food - cocktail hour antipasto table, passed hors d'oeuvres and the reception buffet. I would highly recommend Yummy Goodness for any wedding party. Thank you again Lori and Kelly!

    A big wow for Kelly & Lori of Yummy goodness catering. To a person, every guest of our wedding celebration this past Thursday said the food was the BEST they had EVER had at a wedding. I can't thank them enough for their help and direction as we had to move our outdoor wedding indoors because of weather. They just made it work. We recommend them highly. The parents of the wedding. <3

    Yummy Goodness was awesome! Not only did they cook fantastic food that all my guests raved about, but they were so helpful during the whole planning process. Their whole team went above and beyond to make sure myself and my husband were taken care of on the wedding day! Before the reception began, my venue lost power and Yummy Goodness came prepared with generators and alternative menu options. Luckily power came back on before the party started, still I never had any doubts that the reception and dinner would be amazing! They were like family and I would strongly recommend them to anyone!

    The Yummy Goodness Team is beyond a doubt--- OUTSTANDING! You will not be disappointed with their service or their phenomenal food. From the very beginning, Lori and Kelly were flexible, professional, courteous, attentive, and responsive. They made us feel like we were the most important clients they were working with.

    Tyler and I chose Yummy Goodness because of their ability to plan and coordinate custom menus for our wedding at a reasonable price. When we went to the tasting, Lori and Kelly rolled out their best and showed us what they are all about—Eating well! They were attentive with our concerns and requests from the beginning. From then we were confident we were making the right catering choice by going with Yummy Goodness.

    We had our wedding reception at a Sandbridge Beach home – The Regency. We wanted the event to be intimate and we wanted our guests to RAVE about the food. What Yummy Goodness delivered was absolutely exceptional. From the cocktail hour to the reception, our guests were coming to us and telling us about how impressed they were with the food selection and taste. After all the guests had cleared out and the party had wound down, only our close family was left at the Beach House with us and people broke out the left overs and were arguing over the brisket!!! It was so funny. And yes, the Brisket is AMAZING. Other things on the menu that were raved about were the lemon herb risotto cakes, pecan and panko crusted chicken tenders, and carnitas mini tostadas!!! SO good!

    We whole-heartedly recommend you choose Yummy Goodness to cater your events if you want to eat well and impress your guests! They have high standards for quality and service and will exceed your expectations.

    Yummy Goodness is THE BEST catering company in the Hampton Roads area! They were willing to work with my spouse and I long distance while we were out of the country, and we had no difficulties through 8 months of correspondence. The tasting went well, and they were able to answer any questions we had. My spouse and I had a Valentine's Day wedding, and they made an impromptu hot chocolate bar. They are a must have!!

    Yummy Goodness Catering was wonderful! They worked with me to make my husband's 50th birthday bash a complete success. The guests were talking about the food for weeks! The entire staff was flexible, helpful, and always responsive to all my questions, concerns, and needs. I will certainly use them again!

    Kelly, Lori, and the entire YummyGoodness crew did a fantastic job catering our wedding. From our initial conversations to our one-on-one tasting, we knew that they'd help to make our wedding memorable.

    You can see the passion they have for making your event exactly what you want. They listened to what we had pictured for our wedding day and elevated our ideas to create something uniquely ours. Our menu was full of creative and delicious combinations - definitely not the same old food you'll see at every wedding - and was presented beautifully. The staff was friendly and polite - they made sure we had enough to eat and a drink ready whenever we needed it; it was like they'd read our minds.

    Every single person we've talked to since the wedding has commented at least once on how wonderful the food was - and they all have a different opinion of their favorite selection.

    We've so thankful we made the decision to have our wedding catered by YummyGoodness. They exceeded all of our expectations. P.S. Make sure to ask for the bacon-wrapped tater tots! Delicious!
