About Us
Your wedding day is one of the most memorable and hectic events in your life. Let Eat & Smile Foods be one less thing to worry about. Whether you're getting married in May or November, we can provide delicious, locally sourced food for your special day. We can create a menu inspired by your theme or the overall feel of your day that will wow your guests without breaking the bank.   We source all of our ingredients from within 150 miles of Washington DC, making us the only locally sourced caterer in the area.

We are a full service operation equipped to provide you with servers, bartenders, linens, flowers, plates, glassware, utensils, and more if you choose. One of the perks of being a small business catering company is our flexibility. If you find at the last minute your aunt from Cleveland can make it after all, and is bringing her five children, rather than upping the price, we can work with you to coordinate whether the portions are slightly smaller, or perhaps remove one appetizer, making your day the same as you envisioned without wondering where you're going to come up with the extra money.

Our options run the gamut of styles, from buffets to plated dinners, Thai food to 50s diner fare, formal to crab bake, but always bringing the best the area has to offer to your table.

Let us make your Wedding Day a bit less stressful, and a lot more tasty

I don't even know where to begin at explaining how amazing the experience of hiring Eat & Smile Foods for my wedding was. I originally came across E&S because of their commitment to local foods, a passion of mine. I was delighted to find that behind the shared passion was a dynamic, friendly, brilliant and organized chef running the show. Any bride will tell you how many times you need to communicate with the catering company - never once did Oliver make me feel like I was bothering him. He offered mounds of advice, was incredibly flexible, extremely understanding of budgetary restrictions (and has VERY fair prices), a creative problem solver, and passionate about locally sourced food.

The day of the event his staff and he were all incredibly accommodating, helpful and pleasant. Every single one of them wore a smile while working hard. They arrived on time, set up the space and worked with my team of friends, had the venue ready for action in record time, and cleaned out the place so efficiently that I didn't have to worry about the venue being anything less than perfectly cleaned at the end of the night.

On to the food. Oh, THE FOOD! Let me tell you, I have had, no lie, SIX people tell me the day after the wedding how they were craving another one of his sliders. The ironic and sad reality is that I barely had time to eat anything myself. But I can tell you that an abundant amount of people told me how much they loved the food. Oliver even added some surprises, like a fresh watermelon he picked up at the farm stand just down the street from the venue. We chose to have wine and beer and one vodka-based signature drink for the evening. By far, the signature drink creation of Oliver's stole the show and now we have more leftover wine than we know what to do with and half-full wasted kegs of beer. Who knew?!

I can't rave enough about hiring Eat & Smile Foods for my wedding. I can't think of a single negative thing to say, which is a rare occasion for a somewhat picky person like myself. BRAVO, OLIVER!!
 


Eat & Smile Foods is such a creative, detail-oriented caterer, and is perfect for couples who value local, sustainable ingredients and truly personalized menus. Far from a "wedding factory" catering company, Eat & Smile truly brings something different to the table.
