    Be My Guest - amazing!

    Be My Guest was incredible every step of the way. From the planning process, to the food, to the execution on our wedding day. We are so thankful that we found them and highly recommend them!

    Incredible food but more amazing service

    When looking for a caterer, Be My Guest had all the main qualities we wanted when searching for a caterer. The food was great but the real reason we went with Be My Guest was due to their service and responsiveness. They were there every step of the way and made sure every second of our wedding was accounted for and covered.

    Be My Guest Catering's reply:

    Thank you Emma & Tyler- it was a pleasure to be part of the fun wedding catering & planning process with both of you! We love your venue the Annapolis Maritime Museum! We look forward to seeing the photos!

    Takes the Cake

    Sandy and the BMG team helped hit our wedding out the park. They worked wonderfully with the rest of our vendor team. Most importantly, the food was AMAZING. We did all our favorites via stations and there was something for everyone, from tacos to tots. Even our vegan guest said “this is heaven.” The bartenders were fantastic. The whole team was incredible. We did several small cakes from BMG rather than a traditional tiered wedding cake and it was a hit. People actually ate the cake, which from my experience never happens, and we got so many compliments the next day asking for BMG’s name and saying it was the best cake they have ever had. The peanut butter and chocolate was to die for. You cannot go wrong with Sandy and her team!

    Wonderful to work with!

    Be My Guest was very easy to work with. Guests loved the food choices(chicken and waffle appetizer a favorite) and Sandy helped us select a menu and presentation that fit our more casual style wedding. They coordinated with our alcohol distributer and helped set up and take down some decor for us as we did not have an official coordinator. Would hire them again! Gave great suggestions on other vendors as well.

    The perfect day!

    Sandy and her team are absolutely fabulous. I had all kinds of different menu ideas and Sandy was so patient, helping me work through all the concepts until we settled on the perfect menu. She was truly so supportive and caring throughout the planning process, working closely with my wedding planner and me to ensure that everything was perfect for my big day. On wedding day, the Be My Guest team was on top of everything and so organized - Sandy made sure I had a nice big plate waiting for me when I finally had a chance to have a seat :) Besides the incredible team, the food was fabulous and nearly everyone I spoke to at the wedding raved about their dinner. As a big foodie, it was so important to me to have delicious food and Be My Guest delivered! I would recommend them in a heartbeat and will definitely call on this team again for any future catering needs! Thanks, Sandy and Be My Guest!!

    Delicious and Personal

    Sandy and the whole team at Be My Guest (BMG) are outstanding. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The food was absolutely delicious from the pierogi bar during cocktail hour, crab cakes and filet mignon at dinner, and to-die-for chocolate and key lime tarts for dessert. Sandy even incorporated St. Louis favorites of toasted ravioli and gooey butter cake into our menu. The servers were so friendly and helpful throughout the evening, as (naturally) we had a few last minute guest changes that they helped resolve. Trying to plan a wedding reception from another state is difficult, and BMG helped bring it all together. BMG worked seamlessly with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation venue, Mills Liquor, Floral Expressions, and the rental company for an overall exceptional event. All my friends said it was one of the best parties they had ever attended!

    Thank you so much for your review of our services. We were honored to be part of Rose Casey and your families special day! We look forward to helping you in the future~ Sandy & the BMG team

    Smooth, professional, hard working, and delicious!

    2 weeks after the wedding and guests are still complimenting the food. This company worked their butts off for us and it did not go unnoticed by guests. The day was perfect and I will recommend to anyone and everyone!

    Be My Guest Catering's reply:

    Lauren & Ben your day was amazing and we really enjoyed being part of it! You had such a vision for turning a boat yard into an amazing reception space. Thank you for your review! Cheers to you both and we look forward to helping you with future catering needs.

    Yummy food & very helpful staff!

    All the food we tried during the tasting was so good, it was really hard to finalize our menu but Sandy & her staff were great at helping us stay w/in budget and still have delicious choices for our buffet dinner. Lots of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed their meal.

    Be My Guest Catering Review

    Be My Guest Catered my daughter's wedding at the Annapolis Maritime Museum on 7/17/21. We couldn't have been happier with the quality and presentation of the food with lots of compliments from the 130 guests! As great as the food was, the staff was above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. Professional, helpful, focused, present, hardworking, available, knowledgeable, friendly, kind and patient. Helping out with everything we asked. Problem solved creatively. Lovely with our guests. I honestly hope they know how much their help led to a wedding that felt perfect. So grateful for their work from start to finish. Highly recommend Be My Guest Catering!

    Amazing!!!

    If you're looking for a caterer, look no further---BMG is amazing!! I can't say enough good things about them. We were a covid delayed wedding and BMG was responsive and willing to work with us to reschedule. Fast forward to planning our wedding, Sandy went above and beyond by helping us not only to make catering and beverage decisions but also providing suggestions about other aspects of our event that we were trying to figure out (ceremony setup, where to have our afterparty etc etc). BMG was extremely thoughtful in so many ways I can't even remember them all----One that I do especially remember is their team seeking me out during the wedding reception to offer me coffee (I had mentioned how excited I was about it during planning). It was SUCH a wonderful gesture, with how busy the night was I'm not sure I would have gotten any otherwise!

    Lastly, THE FOOD. We decided to get our wedding cake through BMG as well. Everything we tasted was absolutely delicious, I wish I could re-attend my wedding for many reasons, but one big one is to eat all of the food, cake, and drinks (a white sangria BMG concocted) again! I'm already talking to my husband about ways that we can get their catering services again!

    Be My Guest Catering's reply:

    Rebecca & Erik- it was a honor to cater for your rehearsal and wedding reception. You waited an extra day to celebrate your marriage. You were blessed with a beautiful July day at the beautiful Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Thank you for your great review! I am so proud of our entire BMG team from the office, to the service team to the chef & team! We look forward to helping your family with many more celebrations!

    The Entire Process Was Amazing

    From the first call we had with Sandy, to our tasting, to many questions in between and the day of our wedding - Be My Guest Catering was great to work with! All the staff was extremely friendly, food was great, and there was never a long line at the bar because the bartenders worked so efficiently. Definitely recommend

    Sandy and her team were excellent

    Working with Be My Guest for our wedding was beyond perfect. The food was amazing and Sandy was the easiest to work with and very professional (but still easy to talk to too)! The BMG team made us feel comfortable throughout the whole process and was able to help whenever/with whatever we had questions with! They even helped last minute with an unexpected weather change! We will forever recommend!

    Great Service & Delicious food!

    I received a proposal very quickly and was able to customize the menu to fit both our palettes and budget. Sandy and her team was very good with communications over the months and provided a timeline for meeting deadlines, which was helpful. On the day of the wedding, I hired one of their staff to be my "day of wedding planner" since we did not have a wedding party who could assist throughout the day. Paula handled all of the "day of" details so that I could enjoy everything and the reception went off without a hitch. BMG also helped me to get the tables all set up with the tablecloths, centerpieces and place settings. I would hire them all over again without hesitation.

    Be My Guest Catering's reply:

    Thank you Angela! Your day was perfection! The weather, the location and you looked so beautiful! We were so happy that we were able to be part of your intimate reception.
    Sandy, Paula & the BMG Team!

I appreciated the constant communication so much. The tasting was so much fun and delicious! They will not disappoint and make sure your every need is fulfilled throughout your special day.

    We were so happy that we chose Be My Guest Catering. After the wedding our guests kept telling us how good the dinner tasted--it really was a highlight. Beyond the food, Sandy and her team were very accommodating and helped to make our backyard wedding a hit!

    Be My Guest Catering's reply:

    Thank you Elissa and Brady! It was a pleasure to work with you on your Covid safe beautiful wedding day and reception. Though a difficult time to host a wedding your plans with your families help make it all very special! We look forward to working with you in the future!

    The food was amazing!

    Sandy was amazing to work with and her team delivered the best service during our wedding. Unfortunately, the weather was NOT in our favor leading up to the event due to a hurricane coming up the coast from the South. Sandy was able to work with us on last minute changes to have all activity inside our venue (we had planned on pictures outside before and after the ceremony). She even emailed on the morning of my wedding to say it was going to be beautiful no matter what and provided the best advice on if we should leave some of the tent open for views of the bay during our ceremony. Because of her advice, we took a risk and left one side of the tent open, which ended up being the best decision as the wind was coming from the other direction, and we were able to still have the view of the bay in the wind and the rain with little interruption in our ceremony (this will make for unforgettable pictures!). Her team was able to deal with a last minute change after the ceremony when we needed the deck for pictures. They were also able to accommodate all my guests with food sensitivities, allergies, and special diets, and the menu was amazing! I could go on, and if you couldn't tell, I highly recommend Be My Guest!

    COVID-19 Wedding Saviors!

    My husband and I got married on September 25, 2020 and had hired Sandy and her team at Be My Guest Catering right before the onset of the pandemic in March. Sandy was patient and kind, and navigated the uncertainties and obstacles alongside us. Working with Be My Guest Catering was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding - not only was the food and the service outstanding, but the support Sandy and her team gave us was honestly unexpected and truly invaluable. We'd work with them again in a heartbeat.

    Be My Guest Catering's reply:

    Thank you Brittany & Chris! I have to really give a shout out to the entire BMG family! They are amazing, stead fast and dedicated to making events special even in uncertain times! It was a beautiful, special day, that you created for your immediate friends and family and we were honored to be part of it!

    Outstanding!

    Be My Guest Catering was great! I am still getting compliments on all of the food from the reception. They were able to help walk us through the wedding planning process, coordinate rentals and the day-of timeline, communicate with the venue, and provide delicious food and excellent service! BMG was flexible, timely with their responses, and happy to provide advice during wedding planning. Not only was the food outstanding, the service was above and beyond! I would definitely recommend them for any catered event, especially a wedding!

    Be My Guest Catering's reply:

    Thank you Kelly & Kevin for trusting our team with your wonderful celebration of love. You truly have a special support system as was evident in the outpouring from your family and friends! (During an emotionally crazy 2020)
    Cheers to all the happy years ahead for you!

    Look no further!!! More than just GREAT food!

    Okay, play along: You are getting married in less than one week. All your hard work, the painfully detailed planning has finally taken life. Everything is paid in full. It is time to relish is the joy. You and your person are about to celebrate the union of marriage. Sounds great right!!
    Well yep, that was us! Literally days before our wedding just when we thought we could sit back and relax… came COIVD-19. March 16th 2020 we have to put all of our wedding plans on hold. Some vendors had to cancel and or postpone, some vendors were gracious enough to walk through our uncertainties with kindness and grace. Some vendors were our saving grace!
    The reason I preface with our short story of a Covid-19 wedding is to highlight just how remarkable the people hired to support our big day are. It is times of crisis that you see the true content of character.
    Sandy and her AMAZING team at Be My Guest (BMG) Catering really were a saving grace in a time of such need. I now know what Sandy is capable of; what BMG Catering is capable of. Sandy (Owner of BMG Catering) can make anything happen. I mean this woman was ready to support a complete re-plan of our wedding and make it happen for us in a global pandemic. I am talking changes coming at her from all directions. Her support was never wavered and I always respected that fact that she was honest and hard working.
    We hired BMG Catering for the friendly staff and organized service; and of course the delicious food. Oh how good the food is! They went above and beyond and there support went beyond what they were paid for. It was clear that they put their heart into all they do. I couldn’t be happier with what BMG did for us.
    So if you are looking for catering services, be it large or small event. You won’t regret choosing BMG Catering!

    Be My Guest Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much Marissa & Jack! What a pleasure to ride the Corona Coaster with you both. You are amazing couple with an amazing story of how you met and an even greater story of getting to the finish line to marriage! We loved working through all of this with you! Thank you for this review! It really does tell the story of the great dedicated Be My Guest catering staff! Cheers to you as you start your life together and we look forward to working with you again!

    Absolutely Recommend

    I don’t even know where to begin when describing my experience with BMG. I wasn’t your typical bride in the sense that I wasn’t super eager to plan my wedding. The thought of where to even begin was overwhelming. After choosing our venue, BMG was the next vendor we booked and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. For starters, Sandy is absolutely amazing. She is responsive, organized, creative, and flexible when helping you make any decision. She will do whatever it takes to make you happy! We also used their day of coordinator, Paula, who was essential in making sure our big day went off without a hitch. Aside from the great staff, the food is also amazing. We received so many compliments from our guests on every aspect. If you are in the market, look no further!!

    Be My Guest Catering's reply:

    Colleen you and Jon were an absolute joy to help through your planning. During Covid I am sure it made things uncertain & harder, but I am so happy in the end you got to have the great celebration you dreamed of! Thank you for your generosity to my team in your words and gestures! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and hope to be part of more of the celebrations!

    Covid weddings

    Welcome to 2020 weddings! We were supposed to have the perfect wedding on April 25, and wound up with in August instead. BMG helped make the switched date (and COVID wedding craziness) seamless and stress free, to include making our wedding cake. Sandy had great ideas to keep both guests and staff safe, and helped manage shifting guest lists and state mandated changes. I look forward to working with them again in a post-COVID world.

    Thank you Amber & Bill. It has been quite a year! We loved helping you through it. Your day was beautiful and I am so glad you it wasn’t 100 degrees as Bill feared! We wish your families the best and look forward to working with you soon!
