    Amazing Service

    Planning a wedding is stressful especially on a budget but they made everything simple and worked with our budget to get the venue I wanted. Also they include everything expect DJ, Photographer, and Flowers. Now that I have a date set I can move forward with the extras.

    Aimee Liebman i a Gem

    I don't know how we got so lucky in being assigned Aimee as our Catering Supervisor at our wedding at Knollview House. She not only was responsive, kind, thoughtful, professional, highly experienced and knowledgeable at her job, she saved the day many times over. Whether it was helping the DJ get a signal for his music, hemming my gown so that I wouldn't trip over it during our First Dance, gathering everyone together at the end of the wedding for our sparkler send-off, or creatively finding a way to get my grandson's corsage to stay affixed to his shirt, she was invaluable to helping our wedding become the most wonderful day of our lives and a most memorable day for our guests. We will not soon forget her. We highly, happily, and without hesitation recommend her and Knollview House as the best ever place to have a wedding in the area.

    The most beautiful experience

    Our Wedding was the most beautiful experience that we have had. We loved the venue Anchor Inn. And the most important, the people who work there to make everything possible. Especially to Fabiana Luna who was the best. She helped us a lot, and her human warmth and empathy . I totally recommend working with her if is possible, she is very dedicated to her work. ( we loved her❤️)

    Stress free and amazing day!!

    Catering by uptown was great! Our coordinator, Cassidy, helped us through the process of choosing everything for our big day and then passed us to Ty for the day of the wedding! The day of was amazing! It was a lot less stressful than I expected and Ty kept everything running smoothly while communicating with our rabbi and the dj! The bar tender was amazing, too! Everyone loved him! It was an amazing day and we love the venue!! If I could re-do my day, I wouldn’t change a single thing!

    Best Day Ever!

    In April, we got married in the Chesapeake Ballroom at Celebrations At The Bay, a Catering by Uptown venue. From the initial consultation to the the minute we packed up and left the venue, everything went super smoothly! Everybody was so helpful and the day was flawless! Mother Nature helped provide us with a beautiful evening for our outdoor ceremony. The setting on the water was perfect. Our day of coordinator was great! The apps were all amazing and the crab cake was worth of being called “Maryland crab cake”. We really believe we had the best day ever and are super thankful for everyone that helped us along the way.

    Absolutely amazing!!

    Catering by uptown was excellent. I have heard so many comments from my friends and family, saying how amazing the food was. They had such a great time. All the appetizers were amazing. The main course was fabulous. I personally loved all of the food that we had on our day and it was out timely. It looked beautiful. It showed that they really took their time. Everything was amazing. They also did our wedding cake which was amazing. We’ve been eating it for days and it is so good. It was gorgeous and they just did an overall incredible job and I would 100% cater with them again.

    Cannot beat the Chesapeake Ballroom!!

    We initially booked Catering by Uptown (Celebrations at the Bay -Chesapeake Ballroom) for two main reasons: 1) We wanted a waterfront venue, as two MD natives, and 2) the all-inclusive planning and day of services cannot be beat. Ya-Maila, our planner, was incredible throughout all of our planning, answering my millions of questions and also making a few special accommodations as needed along the way. Eileen, our day-of coordinator, was an absolute delight and made all of our guests feel welcome and at ease. The venue is just gorgeous and speaks for itself - if you book the ballroom, do not feel pressured to spend a lot on any extra decor, because the view of the Bay is just beautiful in itself. Many of our guests had never been here before and commented to us that it was more beautiful and the food was way better than other venues in the greater Annapolis area. As we both work full time, neither of us had the time to plan out every little detail of our wedding. While many of our other friends who were wedding planning were stressing over where to find the right napkins, we only needed to choose the color we wanted and it was taken care of. Our day was more perfect than we could have ever asked for. Thank you to Ann, Jeff, Ya-Maila, Eileen, and the entire Celebrations and Catering by Uptown team!

    Exceptional

    The venue exceeded my expectations. From the decor to the food, everything was wonderful. Ann, Esther and Karyssa was nothing short of amazing. The food and presentation was spectacular. We decided on chicken and salmon which definitely delivered. The finger foods, dips and platters did not disappoint. Thank you all!!!

    Organized, Detail Oriented, Sweet

    Catering by Uptown was our caterer/vendor for a wedding at the Torpedo Factory Art Center. The had an hour and a half to set up all the furniture for the ceremony and reception and the mobile kitchen. They pulled it all off seamlessly! I had two day-of coordinators to help orchestrate the day and they both were so sweet and thoughtful. Ya-Maila was detailed and quick on her feet, and the kitchen manager (didn't catch her name) was so kind and thoughtful.

    They went above and beyond to make our special day run so smoothly, it was really magical thanks to them!

    Best wedding meal we've ever had!

    I cannot say enough good things about Catering by Uptown. There were so many options to choose from for our wedding menu. We got to choose 6 passed and 3 stationary hors d'ouerves - all of them were absolutely delicious. We and our guests absolutely loved them and kept going back for more. Our dinner meal was a duel entree of crab cake and filet mignon. Many of our guests said they were looking forward to it the most and it did not disappoint. People are still talking about the food and asking us who our caterer was. It was one of the best parts of our wedding, and our wedding was near perfect!

    Best in the business

    If you strive for top of the line service, and attention to detail, The Villa is the best choice you can make for your event. If you’re lucky, like myself, you will get Veronica Parker as your Catering Supervisor. My only sore spot was my Party Planner, Ester. I would not recommend her and I’m not sure if she’s in the right type of business.

    Great to have so much consolidated with one vendor!

    We got married at Anchor Inn in Pasadena. It is a BEAUTIFUL venue. Catering by Uptown was fantastic to work with from start to finish. With the pandemic, we knew we wanted to limit the total number of vendors we had to work with in the event we needed to postpone....which we did! It was soooo much less stress to have our venue, food, linens/place settings, part of our decor, uplighting, cake and so much more all tied together. The food and cake were both delicious! Esther was our point person throughout much of the planning and Mira took care of us for our rehearsal and wedding day. Both were fantastic to work with and kept everything running smoothly from planning to execution!

    I couldn’t say anything bad about this place. From the moment I signed my contract everyone was professional and accommodating. The venue was amazing and beautiful all my guests were taking away by how beautiful everything was. My day of supervisor was awesome she made sure I was happy and got everything I needed and wanted. Thank you!!!

    Absolutely amazing. Above and beyond expectations.

    Catering by Uptown and Bayfront Club absolutely exceeded our expectations. My husband is Bolivian and it was very important to us to have Bolivian food as a part of our wedding day. Not only did we have a traditional Bolivian dish, but it was incredible. All of our guests loved it. It stayed true to the Bolivian roots and was delicious. They went above and beyond to make that possible for us. On top of that, the cake was amazing and also the miniature desserts they prepared for us were raved about by our guests. Bayfront Club looked absolutely stunning and they set up my decorations to the tee of how I wanted it. Everything was nothing short of perfect. Stephanie Hutson, our coordinator for the day, was absolutely phenomenal. We cannot say enough good things about her. Without her I don’t know how the day would have run smoothly. She was an absolute angel. From making sure the timing of my entrance song was set up perfectly to fixing my dress when the bustle broke. Thank you to the Bayfront Club and Catering by Uptown team, you all are amazing!

    Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I am one of those everything-must-be-perfect people and I literally didn't have to worry about anything when working with Catering by Uptown. We got married at Celebrations at the Bay and the venue, planning team, staff, and coordinators were on top of everything. My wedding party never went hungry while doing pictures during cocktail hour guests are still raving about the delicious food. And they were just so flexible with everything! We literally moved our ceremony from inside to outside a HALF HOUR before it was supposed to start and it couldn't have been more perfect. Not to mention, they do almost everything for you. If you're looking for a relaxing wedding planning process, Catering by Uptown is for you!

    We used Catering by Uptown at The Bayfront Club for our wedding and everything they provided was just perfect! We got so many compliments on the dinner and cake! We were so happy with everything we had on our wedding day! Their service was just as great. We loved working with them and were over the moon with how everything turned out!

    Perfect, Beautiful, and Stress-free

    Catering by Uptown did such an amazing job for our wedding! We had an April 2023 wedding at Knollview House. Kenisha was our coordinator, and she was amazing! We were so thankful to have her! Due to sudden severe weather, we had to move what was to be an outdoor wedding indoors inside the small house. She was able to pull this off so efficiently, and she made sure to keep us informed and assure us throughout the day. She made sure we were not worried about a thing, and we were indeed stress-free thanks to her! We could not have had such a beautiful wedding without her running the event. We highly recommend Catering by Uptown to anyone planning a wedding, and especially Kenisha as day-of coordinator!

    So Flexible, Stress-Free!

    I cannot express enough how great our experience was with Catering by Uptown! Kenisha was our day-of coordinator for our April wedding at Knollview House, and she was AMAZING. She walked us through our wedding plans for a perfect weather day, which would be mostly outdoors, and a rainy day, which would be under a covered deck and partially indoors. However, on the day of the wedding, the weather was so severe that she effortlessly arranged for plan C, which was to have all festivities inside the small house. This included the ceremony, cocktail hour with pictures, dinner, and dancing. She made these arrangements literally the day of and did such an amazing job!! We didn't have to worry about a thing! She kept us informed of all changes and constantly assured us through the day. Our wedding was beautiful thanks to her running the day for us. The food was spectacular, and our guests were so pleased. I highly recommend Catering by Uptown to anyone planning a wedding, and also highly recommend Kenisha as the day-of coordinator. We were in the best hands with her!
