    Wonderful experience!

    We hired Chelsea and the East Beach Catering team for our daughters outdoor wedding in late October and could not be more pleased with the entire experience. From the initial tasting throughout the process of selecting rentals and finalizing menus Chelsea was helpful, accommodating, responsive and just a complete pleasure to work with. Contract terms were fair and reasonable with no hidden or excess costs. The food at our event was hot and delicious and we received many compliments from our guests. We will definitely be using the East Beach team again in the future!

    Above and Beyond my expectations!

    East Beach Catering is AMAZING!. The guests at my daughters wedding were blown away. I’m still hearing from my guests about how great the appetizers and dinner tasted. It was presented so beautifully. Chelsea is very creative. You can sense she enjoys what she’s does and it reflected in the outcome of the wedding. She made me feel at ease through the whole process of planning the wedding and she was a wealth of information. She’s excellent with communication and kept me on track.. East Beach is full service catering. The entire staff was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend East Beach Catering. I promise you’ll be so happy with their services. So much more than Catering!

    Exceptional!

    My daughter and her fiancé had a good idea of what they wanted for their menu but we took a few suggestions and WOW! Chelsea, Amy and team outdid themselves from the handling of the contract, tasting and finally the reception. Amy checked in with me regularly during the reception when we started changing the agenda. It was all so seamless.
    I want to specifically shoutout some of the food that people kept commenting on. The crab cakes were not filler but CRAB! The beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly to suit everyone and the Parmesan encrusted chicken was so tasty and not typical ‘dry’ wedding chicken. Almost everyone I spoke to mentioned the mashed potatoes…please don’t skip this on your menu, they’re amazing!
    We are so thankful for everything East Beach Catering did for us. Thank you, thank you!!

    Thank you so much, Cynthia! We are so appreciative that you chose us for your daughters wedding!

    The best thing I did for my wedding day was to hire East Beach Catering. Even though I had a very small wedding, I became engaged in November, and set my date the beginning of February for a April wedding. One of my friends recommended Cathy at East Beach Catering. When I met her she told me not to worry about a thing. On my wedding day I walked into a gorgeous decorated room and was served wonderful food and didn't have to worry about a thing. My guests are still talking about how wonderful everything was. The Shrimp and Grits in Martini glasses were a real hit! You can't go wrong with East Beach Catering!

    Perfect choice!

    My husband and I wanted to serve dishes from both of our cultures- Peruvian and US Southern- in the wedding. East Beach Catering was able to do that and more! They created a buffet menu that included specific Peruvian and American dishes we wanted, as well as some of their most popular dishes. We were able to have Peruvian dishes during cocktail hour and in the main menu. It was awesome! They were also open to any changes we had during the food tasting. We got so many compliments about the food!
    East Beach Catering’s staff was also fantastic. Cathy and Chelsea’s team was super professional, helpful, and attentive throughout the planning process and the wedding. I would absolutely recommend them for your wedding.

    East Beach Catering Goes Above and Beyond

    From the first contact with Chelsea all the way to the big day the service was exemplary with East Beach Catering. Chelsea was there every step of the way to help us make it a memorable day. She answered my every question and was extremely professional and efficient. The food was outstanding and all our wedding guests raved about it. All her staff at the event were awesome too!
    I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a special event!

    Ahhhhhmazing !

    I work in dental , so … my hands are busy for 10 hours a day . Add wedding planning into the mix & well … it was a challenge on my end. Chelsea and her staff did everything perfect! She answered questions I had & questions I didn’t have that I should’ve asked and made me understand without hesitation. The food ? AMAZING! so flavorful! Savory! I wish I could eat that everyday lol. She kept us informed the entire night with where we were at with the bar , and we didn’t have to ask for anything at all. From beginning to end , everything was so beautiful! I briefly described the vision I was going for and she got it spot on ! The displays & presentation was flawlessly executed. Everything was top tier ! Thank you Chelsea & staff , I literally had the best day ever & I thank you for playing a key role!

    I don’t think i can put into words how great East beach was this past weekend for our wedding! The food was amazing and i had guest all night raving about it! The staff were professional and the bartender was a hit with the guest as well. My favorite was our crab cakes for the appetizer’s, they were AMAZING! I wish i had a whole plate to myself! Easily this was the best choice i made for my wedding and i will recommend to everyone!

    East Beach Catering is hands one of the best catering companies! I can’t tell you how many people complimented our food on our special day and well after.
    My husband I worked with Chelsea from the beginning. She is so sweet and took great care of us. I will 100% be using them again for any future event!
    The staff was amazing. My brother and his girlfriend actually ended up needing a ride home and as they were talking about what they were going to do, one of the wait staff overheard and gave them a ride home! Top notch right there!!!

    Dream Team Catering for your Wedding!

    East Beach Catering was beyond outstanding from start to finish! Chelsea was so awesome to work with, always responsive, made great suggestions, and willing to make changes along the way. She is so talented in knowing all the details to make your wedding day perfect.... not to mention the food was the rave....after the wedding, guests reached out to ask who did the catering because everything was so delicious - from hors d'oeuvres through dinner. East Beach Catering and Chelsea Browne have my highest recommendation if you're looking to make your wedding day memorable.

    Superb job - thank you!

    Cathy, Chelsea and the team at EB were fabulous to work with. Their service the night of my daughter's wedding was also superb. Thank you so much for you flexibility during a crazy pandemic year and all the changes we made. Sweet potato biscuits, shrimp cocktail, and beef tenderloin = to die for! Excellent!

    East Beach Catering - the BEST food

    Chelsea and her team at EBC were so amazing to work with for our wedding. Our guest count kept changing due to COVID mitigation measures, our venue changed, our date changed, and EBC was patient and so easy to work with through it all.

    Starting at the tasting, Chelsea felt like an old friend from the moment we met her. The food was amazing. It was everything we wanted and more. EBC even worked with us to create some unique appetizers for our wedding that weren't on the original menu.

    At the wedding itself, her team made sure we didn't miss out on the food even while we were busy saying hi to everyone and barely getting to sit down. They always made sure we had water and whatever else we wanted available, and we truly wouldn't have had the day of our dreams without EBC.

    My friends are still raving about our wedding food, it's THAT good.
    Thank you Chelsea and EBC!!!

    Wonderful experience!

    Chelsea was awesome the whole time! She was very professional & responsive, worked with us on our menu & budget, and helped with all the little things on the wedding day to help it run smoothly. It was the best food we've ever had at a wedding, and as good as many fine restaurants. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Book them!

    Best Wedding Food Ever!!!

    The food was so good! The sweet potato biscuits are a must! We worked with Chelsea from the beginning and she was wonderful. The tasting was a lot of fun and we got to try a wide variety of selections to create the perfect wedding day menu for us. The food was not too salty or dry, so you didn't feel continuously thirsty. The wedding day was amazing. Chelsea brought us food right after the ceremony (before pictures) when everyone else went up for appetizers. At that point in our day, it was greatly appreciated. The team of servers that were there was impressive. I didn't expect that many servers and the dinner service and cake was passed out so quickly and smoothly. Everyone was so fantastic! I would definitely use them again for any kind of party or celebration.

    If I could give them 10 stars I would....

    If I could give East Beach 10 stars I would. They came in for the save with incredible service and incredible pricing two months before our 20-person microwedding. The food was so amazing that even those people that we absolutely expected to complain no matter what were raving about the food. Chelsea and the team went ABOVE and beyond with every detail, not just with the food, but for the day. They helped to style the event (while I was too busy running around)(they even brought some of their own decor), they helped to break down the event (while we were so busy celebrating a little too hard), and Chelsea was by my side calming my nerves in the minutes before the wedding -- none of this was part of their contract - they're just good people that you WANT with you on your day. When you hire the RIGHT vendor, you're hiring for more than just the explicit service you need, you're hiring for peace of mind and people you know will be there for you on the day you need it - if you want good food, peace of mind, and incredible attention to detail, hire East Beach.

    Amazing wedding

    Chelsea was the most amazing person to work with through this whole experience. Her expertise, when it came to all aspects of the industry, helped us tremendously when it came to organizing our whole event. We would recommend her and East Beach to anyone that’s getting married in the Hampton Roads area!

    East Beach went above and beyond for our event!!

    Our guest are still talking about the food!! So Yummy!! East Beach was there to help us make our daughter's rally/reception amazing!! The food was delicious, but also elegantly displayed with the finest attention to details, with a professionalism that is often missing today. I have recommended them over and over again and they will always be on the top of my BEST list. Thank you Pari from Astro for the recommendation and thank you Chelsea, you are an angel. Sorry for the late review, I wanted to include pictures as they will describe it better than words.

    East Beach Catering is the Best!

    East Beach Catering is truly a top-notch catering company. I have had East Beach cater two events for me in the last 8 months and both have been spectacular. With Chelsea at the helm, the schedule is organized, the staff is prepared, and the food is delicious. Chelsea goes to great lengths to answer questions, accommodate, and produce a vision of the event, and provide outstanding customer service. Chelsea is friendly, kind, and reliable and truly has a passion to serve others. Moving forward, I will choose East Beach Catering again and again for my events due to the amazing service Chelsea and her staff provide.

    Amazing in every aspect!

    We had registered with East Beach catering and found the wedding planner Chelsea. What a team! We didn't have to worry about anything. The set up was right on time. The arrangements were beautiful. The food was beyond belief! If we had to do it all over again we wouldn't change a thing. We've already recommended them to a family member for a military retirement party. They were amazing for that too. We can't say enough good about these people.

    Amazing Food

    We are so pleased with having East Beach cater our wedding. From the start, East Beach and Chelsea was amazing! Information was straight forward and easy to understand.

They were very accommodating with out number of guests and was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend East Beach! They packed up our leftover food and everything was great!
