    The food & Service

    We both loved working with Jenny and her staff. The food was amazing and all our guest were very happy with the choices we picked. Jenny was so sweet and very accommodating with us and made wedding planning easy! There were no issues with anything and I would recommend her to anyone! I loved our wedding and I am so glad we had her to be a part of the wedding day. I really also appreciate her staff taking care of my mom and making sure she was drinking enough water all night! I was not stress all day or night!

    Thanks again Jenny!

    Incredible!!

    We used full circle catering for our wedding and Jenny and her staff were amazing! Jenny was very personable and fun to work with! We did not hire a wedding planner and she picked up a lot of the organizational and day-of details that we needed help with so that we felt no stress! Her food was incredible and everyone told me how much they loved it. She also helped us setup our cake and decorate it which was dropped off by a different vendor. Highly recommend!

    Great Experience!

    Jenny and Full Circle Catering were absolutely wonderful to work with for our December 2022 wedding at Big Spring Farm! She was so patient with me as I had many questions. The food was absolutely delicious! A big highlight was our desserts; we did not want a traditional wedding cake, so we got mini pies that were a HIT! Thank you Jenny and your team!

    Wonderful Catering Experience

    I highly recommend Jenny and Full Circle Catering. Jenny was great to work with from start to finish – very responsive and flexible for the various dietary requirements for our guests. She helped guide us to menu options that were delicious and worked for gluten-free, vegan and nut-free guests. Everyone truly enjoyed the food, and everything was artfully presented and arranged. Jenny helped us get all the rentals we needed, and made sure all details were considered. The staff was very friendly and efficient, and we are all impressed with the service from start to finish.

    Outstanding food and service!

    The best wedding decision we made was choosing Jenny and her team as our catering staff! We had to reschedule our wedding twice during the pandemic, and Jenny was always flexible with us. It has now been 2 months since the wedding , and we STILL have people compliment the incredible food and service! Jenny made us feel special and taken care of. The set up was beautiful and she even provided a picnic for just the two of us at the end of the night. We can't thank you enough, Full Circle!

    Exceeded expectations

    We decided to hire Full Circle based on their commitment to locally sourced food. We were planning our wedding remotely and didn't have a chance sample any food in advance, so I was a bit nervous about how things would turn out. I couldn't imagine a better wedding dinner! Jenny was very flexible and responsive throughout the process. The food was beautifully prepared and delicious. All of my guests were happy, and people were still talking about how great the food was days later! I would love to hire Full Circle again in the future!

    Thank you for your kind words and for allowing us to help you and matt celebrate your marriage. what a beautiful night full of the magic of the surroundings and the love of family and friends!

    Terrific Caterer for a Wedding!!!!

    We used Full Circle Catering for a destination wedding in Clifton Forge, VA. The menu selection was excellent for both the cocktail hour and the buffet dinner. The food was terrific and we were very pleased with the professionalism of the entire staff. In addition, the company also arranged all the rental requirements for the wedding. We would highly recommend this catering company to any couple looking for a terrific caterer in the Lexington, VA and surrounding area!

    full circle catering's reply:

    We so enjoyed helping you all celebrate in the mountains of Virginia!
    Hope
    To see you in the future and best wishes to the happy couple!

    Perfect Experience

    I HIGHLY recommend Full Circle Catering. Start to finish it was perfect. From our personalized menu to the presentation, it was amazing. The staff was very professional and friendly during the entire wedding reception. And last, but certainly not least, the food was of exceptional quality and DELICIOUS! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres and the great comments kept coming with our dinner selections. An all around great experience.

    Amazing caterer who made logistics SO EASY, not to mention the MOST delicious food!

    Jenny and her team made the whole experience so easy!! It was a complete breeze working with her - leading up to the big day, she was easy to reach which was great because I was planning the wedding from Texas! On the actual wedding day, I could not have been more thankful for her ability to take charge and make things happen. I literally did not see her until I came through the buffet! It was so easy. On top of all the logistical joys of working with Jenny, the food was completely amazing. We wanted to bring a little Texas flair to Virginia with a taco bar, and it was SO GOOD. Everyone raved about the food, and it was perfect for all our allergy / picky eaters. The presentation was also really beautiful, they thought of everything. We were completely thrilled with the whole experience, I can't recommend them enough!

    Consistent top quality food & presentation

    Full Circle Catering, with Jenny Elms at the helm, has been on Heartstone Lodge’s ‘very short’ list of recommended caterers since we opened in 2010. Our guests have all expressed top satisfaction whether it was a wedding reception, rehearsal dinner, celebratory party of all types.
    In addition, our venue is left spotless at the end of the day. We are very happy to be associated with Full Circle Catering.

    I cannot say enough good things about Jenny and her staff. In the early planning, Jenny was responsive to our questions and provided helpful menu guidance. She was very accommodating- she even went to the venue site and made helpful suggestions.
    The food was delicious- many people commented on how good the food was! The staff was very pleasant and helpful- I received many comments on how genuinely happy everyone seemed to be at their work.
    She was on time and professional in her setup and take down.
    Her concern with using locally sourced food and recycling when possible was important to us.
    I highly recommend Jenny’s services.

    We really enjoyed working with Jenny from Full Circle Catering. She is the type of vendor who doesn't just have one set menu and truly works with you and your ideas to create a totally customized menu. Jenny took the time to help create a menu as our ideas changed throughout the planning process and she made sure to work with our budget. On the day of our wedding, we were completely blown away by the display of the food and even moreso, the food was delicious! Jenny even took the time to set a plate of our appetizers on our sweetheart table because she knew we would be too busy taking pictures during cocktail hour. Her staff was incredibly accommodating and provided excellent service at the buffet station, the tables, and the bar! Jenny also packed a to-go bag to take with us after the wedding and packed up any leftover food. Our guests raved about the food and we are so happy we chose Full Circle Catering for our wedding.

    We used Jenny to cater our wedding at Big Spring Farm and couldn't have been happier with the food and service Full Circle provided. Jenny was responsive by email and over the phone and worked with us to create a unique menu. She was open to any ideas we had for our big day and worked to accommodate any requests we had. On the day of the wedding, she put together beautiful displays for our cocktail hour and dinner stations and so many of our guests couldn't believe how delicious her food was. My personal favorites were the biscuit bar and shrimp and grits! Lastly, all of Jenny's staff were gracious and kind, which we greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Jenny for delicious food and service for any event!

    We changed our wedding date just to take advantage of Jenny's expertise and services again. Jenny is not only an incredible caterer, she knows the right questions to ask in help with the planning details and ordering of rentals and is do great at what she does. Her food is not only delicious, but her presentation is beautiful-to include the fresh flowers in the salad (edible!), homemade biscuits and handwritten menu boards. Her staff is very attentive and professional. Well worth her affordable fees. You will not be disappointed!

    Jenny did a great job with my daughters wedding. She was very flexible and patient. The appetizer table was very creatively displayed..It looked beautiful. We had a buffet dinner..The food was hot and delicious. All her staff was professional and courteous. She worked with our budget and we could not have been happier. The wedding was perfect, thanks to Full Circle Catering.

    Jenny was helpful in taking our ideas and making suggestions that improved upon them. The outcome was just what we had hoped for - the guests mingled freely with plates of delicious shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, cups of gazpacho and lots of other good tasting eats. It was a terrific event and Jenny and her very seasoned staff played a huge part of making it a success! Food and service were top-notch!

    We worked with Jenny at our wedding about a month ago and she did such an amazing job! She regularly went above and beyond for us, helping with day of logistics, coordination of all rentals and weighing in on decisions that we were having trouble with. She was our go to person if we had a question about anything at all, as she has so much knowledge and know how about all things wedding. When the wedding day finally arrived, we were blown away by the food. Everything was so delicious and the presentation was gorgeous. Her staff was friendly, professional and accommodating. Booking with Full Circle Catering was hands down the best choice we could have made!

    We love Jenny and Full Circle Catering! They did our wedding a few weeks ago, and I cannot imagine a smoother process. Jenny is organized, imaginative, and extremely knowledgeable. Our wedding director told us to let Jenny take the reigns with set-up and rentals, and I am so glad we did! She knows exactly how to execute a successful event. She is what I consider a "low-maintenance" vendor, where we told her what we would like to have, and she took care of the rest. She did not ask us a million questions, and we just knew everything was under control with the food. She had creative displays and we were thrilled with the presentation. Her pricing is fair, and her staff is outstanding. On the day of our wedding, everyone was upbeat, excited, eager to help, and the food came out hot and on time! We could not have asked for a better experience! THANK YOU!

    Jenny and her staff were absolutely amazing and my husband and I are so glad we booked Full Circle Catering for our wedding! Jenny really understood our vision and not only gave us a lot of helpful suggestions, but customized our menu to really fit "us" as a couple. We had a family-style dinner, and Jenny helped me coordinate what tables would be needed, how much servingware she had and what we would need, etc, flawlessly.

    I had forgot to do so much on the day of the wedding that I had agreed to do (find a place for the magnificent cheese board display she made for the cocktail hour, pre-mix some drink mixes, etc) but her staff handled it exceptionally well, and they all were so personable, friendly, kind, and almost invisible throughout the night! Her staff that were bartenders that evening nailed our signature drinks perfectly, and guests really liked interacting with them.

    Eveyone raved about the food - it not only tasted great, but it was displayed with such love and care! Everyone said it was one of the best catered weddings they had ever been to, and I am still getting compliments to this day! How could mini chicken and waffle bites NOT be loved?!

    On another note, I couldn't believe how much she was able to compost and save instead of meaninglessly throwing away and wasting it - I really appreciate the fact she is a green caterer, and guests and other vendors did too!

    You really can't go wrong with Jenny and her staff - I highly, highly recommend them for your wedding!

    Jenny and her team were absolutely fantastic. She was easy to work with, knew exactly what questions to ask, and helped me focus prior to the event. On the day of, she worked with my wedding coordinator/friend to work out the remaining kinks and make sure the event ran smoothly - without adding any stress to my day. I keep hearing from people that it was the best food that they've ever had at a wedding, and her prices were well within our budget - and quite reasonable. She understood what we were going for and her setup perfectly went with the theme we had created for our day. Her staff were extremely personable and worked almost invisibly - allowing us to enjoy our day without worrying about the details. Everything completely exceeded our expectations, and I feel so lucky that we found Jenny.

    We had our daughter's summer 2016 wedding at our parent's farm outside Lexington had did the planning ourselves. Jenny Elmes was so helpful and accommodating to our special needs and as were making arrangements from out of town she was invaluable in guiding us on how and with whom to deal with in Lexington for the various wedding arrangements. On the day of the wedding the service and professionalism of the entire Full Circle team was outstanding. Everyone was incredibly nice to our family and all of our guests. The food was fantastic and their very personalized service really put the reception over the top. We will certainly be using Full Circle on our next wedding - three more to go:)

    My advice is call early- Jenny and her team are definitely in high demand so don't shuffle your feet if you want to book them! Full Circle catered my wedding in June and I could not have been happier both with the food itself and the service. As a bride I had no idea what I was doing in planning my wedding, thankfully Jenny was there to keep me on track and connect me with other service providers. She definitely took a lot of stress out of the planning process! It's been six months and I still have people telling me how great the food was, plus the cooler tote Jenny packed for us meant that my husband and I got to actually enjoy it ourselves!

    Jenny and her team were amazing. They rolled with the punches even though things didn't go as planned and were ready to serve 30 minutes prior to the scheduled time. I'm so grateful that they were so professionals and seemingly unflappable.

    Jenny with full circle catering did an AMAZING job with my wedding, and I'm so glad I chose her company! The food was incredible, and since I had a lot of specific ideas about what kinds of food I wanted to serve, she worked with me to make sure I'd have it at my wedding. She was great about responding to all my emails, especially since I had SO many specific questions and ideas. I absolutely recommend full circle catering! :)

    Lauren and Willow--thank you for allowing us to be a small part of your celebration. It was fun for us to get out of the box and make your eclectic and yummy menu. I have even made more pupusas since your wedding!
