Delicious!
I loved my interactions with MBP! They were very helpful and easy to get a hold of when needed! Also everyone at my wedding raved about the food! Specifically the lobster bisque was UNREAL! -

Great experience at our reception, everyone commented on the quality of the food!
Our guests were impressed with the quality of the food. Sylvester was in charge during the event and was wonderful. He was attentive to the needs of us the wedding couple and everyone else. We enjoyed the night because Sylvester and his crew were friendly, jovial and professional. We worried about nothing. -

The Food Was Awesome
The staff especially Kim and Johnny are so nice and easy to work with and the food was amazing. They have so many options to choose from to make your wedding food not your typical wedding food. We got so many compliments on the food at our wedding. And they are very reasonable in price - we loved everything about them. -

Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Catering Company to Work With!!
I worked with MBP Catering for my wedding two weeks ago, and they were the most professional, organized and kind team to work with! I got non-stop compliments on the food all night, people loved all of the cocktail hour and buffet options! Christina and her team finished doing all my decorating and made my vision come to life, they executed flawlessly on time and stayed to help cleanup at the end of the night! It was a blessing getting to work with such an organized team like Christina's as I had issues with my venue and they helped to rectify many of them. I couldn't recommend them anymore, honestly!! You won't be disappointed! -

5 star experience!!
My husband and I are so lucky to have worked with the staff at MBP!! From the beginning, they were great and easy to communicate with and were excited to begin working together on our wedding. Our tasting went so smoothly, and the food was absolutely delicious! During the course of wedding planning, the staff member that we were previously working with left the company, and we were placed with a new staff member, Brandy. Brandy was great to work with and made the transition for us seamless. She had all of our information about the wedding from the previous employee, and it was like they didn't skip a beat! The wedding food was absolutely delicious, and we received so many compliments throughout the night! Would recommend this company 1000 times over! -

Amazing Food and Service
Can't speak highly enough of this catering service. The food was outstanding and the staff, even though we had an outside venue and it was blisteringly hot, were pleasant and helpful. Would recommend 100%. I'm still hearing about how much everyone enjoyed the food. They handled everything, going above and beyond for us. Thanks, MBP! -

Your team was incredible!
I met Mary Beth Poe a bit later in the planning process for my clients. We were roughly a month and half out from the date. MBP Catering stepped right in and helped get our passed hors de oeuvres cocktail reception organized effortlessly. We were at a non-traditional venue, but that didn't present any challenges for MBP. The staff was on time, the food was incredible, and the team was very polite and professional. It's not a matter of if or when...I plan to work with MBP Catering again! -

A friend of ours attended a wedding over a year ago and commented about how amazing the food was. I did some investigating and found out it was MBP Distinctive Catering. I asked for the same menu they had for their wedding for my own and it did not disappoint. We opted for buffet stations with beef tenderloin and carved Turkey Breast. Wow, everything that was offered was amazing. My guests are still commenting on the food. I worked with Anne Perry and she was so helpful. She helped me figure out the best options and helped make it very affordable. Thank you MBP! -

I am so glad that we went with MBP catering. Early in our process our coordinator left the company and Kim stepped in. She is the BEST. She was so helpful, went above and beyond, and really served as a whole event coordinator. She came up with ideas that complemented and completed my vision, answered all my questions, and put special touches on our big day. MBP is a great value compared to other caterers and allowed us to have everything we wanted--passed appetizers, cheese board, seated dinner, open bar, they offer it all! Not to mention the food is extremely tasty!! -

We are so very thankful for the superb quality of the food and service that MBP provided for our wedding brunch & reception. We have heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests. Many have said it was the best they have ever experienced at a wedding. Everyone loved it!
Mary Beth and her staff were on top of everything... from the planning, to the first tasting, to the actual day of our wedding. They all went out of their way to make us and our special day even more special. Our sincere thanks to Mary Beth and her excellent staff. We highly, highly recommend them!

My daughter and I went to MBP Distinctive Catering for tasting. Their presentation and professionalism was far above any other vendor we had visited. During the tasting, they brought us several choices of hors-d'oeuvres, salad, main course options, and deserts, all introduced in separate courses, as they would be at dinner. My daughter chose two full course meals for guests to choose from. On the day of the wedding, the wedding party was busy with pictures after the ceremony, and the MBP wait staff was immediately ready to serve our guests hors-d'oeuvres while they waited for the wedding party. My daughter used color-coded name cards to indicate which guest choose chicken, which choose beef, etc. When it was time for dinner, the MBP staff expertly delivered all the meals to the guests without incident or mix-up. I had several guests tell me how much they loved the food that was served, and many also commented on how well it was served. As the mother of the bride, I can't tell you how impressed I was with the MBP wait staff. As soon as the salad was done, the main course was brought out. As soon as the first tables were done with the main course, the desert started. Glasses were filled. The staff made sure everyone had a drink in time for the toast. I felt pampered, as a guest at a table, I never had to wait for or ask for anything. Yet, the wait staff did not linger too long, they knew exactly what they needed to do and were quick, and so polite. What an enjoyable meal after a beautiful wedding!! Thank you so much to Mary Beth, Cathy, and the entire MBP DC staff! -

MBP was one of the preferred vendors for our venue. We initially did a trial with them because their pricing was less expensive than the other preferred vendors. We were more than pleasantly surprised. Their food was absolutely delicious! We worked with Adam Luellen as our coordinator. He was wonderful. For the tasting, he basically said to send him a list of anything we wanted to taste from their menus. Everything we tasted was really, really good. We opted for a chicken entree with a couple of sides plus a salad and roll. For the cocktail hour, we picked three different appetizers. We had numerous guests comment that the hummus appetizer was the best hummus they had ever had. Additionally, multiple other guests, including our parents, also said the food was the best they had ever had at any wedding and/or catered event. Not only was the food wonderful, Adam and his staff were a pleasure to work with. Adam was always responsive to any question (no matter how trivial it seemed to us) we had. He added a different table cloth at the last minute due to a photo I saw online for the cake table. He let us know that he was going to be out of town on vacation for the week or so immediately prior to our date, but he left us in good hands with the rest of the staff. Every person was fantastic. During the reception, MBP staff checked on us to make sure everything was to our liking. Adam returned in the middle of the reception (due to another event) and made sure everything was going well. Overall, it was a wonderful menu and great experience interacting with everyone at MBP! -

This food is incredible!! We had a buffet at our wedding, with salads plated beforehand, and passed hors d'oeuvres during our cocktail hour. Our guests LOVED the food, the staff was incredibly prompt, polite, put together, and professional,and the catering supervisor had everything running so smoothly! I never even noticed when they took the buffet down, which was set up in our dance floor area. Adam, our coordinator, was fantastic! He was also quick about answering emails, even when they were just short questions. This is a great business - these guys really know what they're doing! -

We loved MBP so much. Adam treated us so well and helped us plan from long distance. Day of - I could not have been happier! I hugged Adam at the end of the wedding, because I was so taken back by his team and their professionalism throughout the wedding. The set-up was phenomenally done and our guests LOVED the food. -

MBP was our first choice from the list of caterers our venue gave us, and they happened to be the most reasonably priced. The food tasted amazing, looked elegant, and was exactly what we wanted. They have a wide selection of packages, with several different food items. Christina is one of the main reasons we had such a successful wedding. She is organized, detail-oriented, incredibly responsive, and after listening to exactly what we wanted, executed every single detail perfectly. She was flexible in several ways, including allowing us an additional person at the tasting, and making some tables larger than others to accommodate our requests. Once we told her our preferences, she made other decisions we didn’t want to, and was a behind-the-scenes all-star. A lot of detail went into planning the centerpieces, seating chart, name cards, other décor, etc. and she and her team did an outstanding job making sure those details were exactly how we wanted it. She communicated with the florist, cake baker, wedding coordinator at the venue, and others to ensure each component of the wedding was cohesive. It was very nice to turn over all of our thoughts and ideas, trusting she would just take care of everything we wanted without us having to do a thing. -

The food was delicious! Our wedding was later in the evening, and we wanted to do small plates. They were so flexible with our tastes and mixing up items from pre-selected menus to fit what we wanted. Other vendors had discouraged us from having this type of dining at our wedding, but MBP made a great first impression by working with us from the beginning. They also had a menu for the children who were served their meals instead of doing the buffet line, which helped the parents a lot. The food the night of the wedding was just as hot, fresh, and scrumptious as it was at the tasting! People loved the mash-tini bar and the cheesecake bar! The staff was very professional. I would recommend MBP to anyone with catering, not just for weddings- but especially if you plan to hors d'oeuvres! -

MBP was great to work with and the food did not disappoint! Our guests' favorite was the mashed potato bar. HUGE HIT! All the food tasted very fresh and we loved the tenderloin carving station. We decided to go with heavy appetizers and it was just perfect. They also did a great job bussing the tables so that they stayed clean the entire night. Great service and great food! -

The food and service were fantastic. I didn't have to worry about any setup. They even went above and beyond helping with additional day-of tasks. They were very accomodating with customized menu options. And they provide a 5% discount if you pay with cash so be sure to ask! -

All of my guests commented on how we had such a variety of food and there was so much to eat. Everyone said everything tasted really good too and it wasn't the typical blah wedding food. -

5+ stars for MBP. Their service before the wedding impeccable. Easy to work with, accommodating and very responsive. I had very high hopes for the wedding day, and I was blown out of the water. The staff they brought to work my wedding were great, very professional, worked quickly but also you didn't even notice them. The cake was taken away to be cut and cake slices were brought back, you didn't even notice that it happened. The served dinner was amazing, we were able to make a few modifications to dishes. Everyone's food was served hot and prepared perfectly. Would use them again if the opportunity arrises. -

MBP was a great caterer. I am the groom, so I'll take you through my experience from first contact. I went into their shop and I didn't know what to expect. Then they started to bring in food and I was impressed. And before long, I was full. They brought samples of everything, but not just mini-samples, they brought the real deal--exactly what you'd expect to get at the wedding. Full portions at the tasting. I liked that. And the portions were BIG.
And so even after we decided to go with them and picked out our food, I was excited, but I kind of expected that the quality and portion size at the wedding wouldn't quite measure up to what we saw at the tasting when they were, presumably, trying to win our business. But I was wrong. At the wedding, the portions were big, the food was awesome, and everyone--even our pickier guests--were pleased. Some people, whose opinions I trust, made a point to say that their steak was the best they had ever had. That's not something you expect at a wedding--that's pretty amazing.
I also have to say that the staff was amazing at the event. Our planner who we had worked with was there throughout and she communicated with us so well, I couldn't have been happier.

Words can not describe how amazing MBP catering is. Practically every guest we spoke to, meat eaters and vegetarians alike, raved about the food to us on their own volition - no exaggeration. We even received an inadvertent drunk voicemail from the groomsmen that night where we could overhear them talking about how good our food was. People were so happy to eat great tasting wedding food - which is strangely such a rarity!
Even the next morning, at our brunch [also catered by MBP] I kept hearing about how good the food was. Our menu: fried chicken, short ribs with peach bourbon sauce, mac and cheese lorraine, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, and fried biscuits with apple butter. They even made the apple butter from scratch! People were obsessed with the fried biscuits.
MBP was able to make exactly what I wanted for our wedding and were very reasonably priced. They were also able to provide china and flatware for a price that wasn't insane like some vendors.
We worked with Christina Tooke and she was awesome - everything went so smoothly. Christina kind of stepped into the shoes of event coordinator and helped with the pacing of the evening. MBP's staff was very professional, and it all went swimmingly. I've already recommended MBP to several girlfriends getting married and one is planning on using them at her wedding next summer.
If you want a reliable, professional caterer that won't cost you an arm and a leg and that makes delicious food - MBP is the obvious choice.
ONE WORD OF ADVICE TO COUPLES: ask your caterer to prepare you to-go meals. We didn't spend a lot of time eating because we were so busy with wedding activities and on our way to our hotel we were starving. So we ended up eating mushy sandwiches from Steak n' Shake and were so sad thinking about our amazing food that we only got a couple of bites of. I think caterers ought to ask couples if this is something they're interested in.

Our wedding catering from MBP was simply fabulous and amazingly delicious. Our guests raved about it and many said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. MBP also worked with us to allow our guests to choose between a few different entrees, which went very smoothly. We will recommend you to our friends. It was great. Thank you! -

MBP is absolutely excpetional; and I would highly recommend their services! We had a large wedding of about 200+ guests and we were absolutely thrilled with all of the food the day of the event. From the cocktail hour to the last course of the dinner, everything was to our specifications. Food is such a huge part of the wedding day; and our guests were all raving about how great the food tasted as well as the high quality of the service staff.
Our guests were treated exceptionally well by the wait staff, and were never without a full glass or full plate. The wait staff was very response to not only the VIPs of the day but also the entire guest list felt welcomed and like a VIP.
To say the food was amazing would be an understatement; it was absolutely incredible and cooked to perfection. My bridal party and myself were running slightly late and did not attend the cocktail hour but the catering coordinator was at the door when we arrived with cocktails and appetizers on a silver tray so that we could grab a bite to eat before we were introduced to our guests!
The food, the wait staff, and all the extra little touches make MBP the caterer of choice for your big event! I would not hesitate to recommend MBP to my friends and family! -

I worked extensively with Mary, the owner of MBP. She was very helpful and very accomodating. The food at MBP was delicious & they even let us schedule a second tasting since my fiance was unable to attend the first one. I rented linens, tables, & chairs from MBP. They worked with me as I changed my mind about colors & numbers in the weeks leading up to the event. I would highly recommend this caterer. They were one of the few caterers allowed by my venue & they had, by far, the most reasonable prices. -

MBP (Christina and Cathy) were phenomenal. Communication was easy and effective. The servers were all super friendly and hardworking. The food was served up hot and delicious but could have used a bit more seasoning. -

Christina Tooke of MBP Catering was my "event coordinator" and she was an abosolute DREAM to work with! She coordinated more of my wedding than the actual venue coordinator did and she was always first to call me when she had questions or if anything came up. The week before the wedding we found out our napkin color was unavailable and she went out of her way to find me the perfect shade of yellow - hassle free! The food was excellent and the staff were very friendly to all of our guests! (I actually recognized one of our waitresses from the wedding when MBP catered a work event and I was so happy to see her!) I would have to say MBP Catering did at least 85% of all the leg work for the whole production of the wedding on our wedding day! The only thing I was disappointed with was that my husband and I did not receive the top of our cake to save for our 1 year anniversary at the end of the night - I am not sure if this was a mistake on MBP's or our cake vendors part but that was the only thing that went wrong the whole entire day. Other than that, their service was amazing! I would definitely recommend MBP Catering to my friends and family. -

MBP catering was awesome! We booked them because they were the sole caterer of our reception venue. When our personalities didn't click with our first representative, Mary Beth (the owner) stepped in and handled the rest of our event. Even when she broke her shoulder and had surgery the week before our wedding, she was at the wedding! We couldn't believe it!
The food was delicious and we heard numerous similar comments from guests. Mary Beth worked with us, our venue, our ideas and our budget and provided a wonderful buffet for our guests. Our only complaint was that the waiters served each guest a piece of cake without giving the guest a choice in flavors. We had four flavors of cake and really wanted guests to have choice. Other than that, MBP was perfect. -

MBP was awesome! The food was excellent, the staff was pleasant and helpful, and they made our event wonderful for everyone.
Our event coordinator, Caroline, was fantastic as well. She really helped me work through any issues or changes we needed to make up through the big day, and she tracked down our missing dessert from the bakery on the day of the wedding. She was flexible, and helped make the setup I wanted at my venue possible. I wanted the ceremony and reception both in the same room. The venue told me I'd need to have everyone seated at their dinner tables for the ceremony if I wanted this - that is not at ALL what I wanted. Caroline set it up so that we could have everyone seated in a more traditional ceremony setup, and then the MBP staff could flip the room during cocktail hour. It worked beautifully!
I would definitely recommend MBP! -

The food from MBP was outstanding!! We went for the top of line buffet choice, and so glad we did! The service was fantastic (with the exception of an ill bartender who was promptly replaced). I would use them again in a heartbeat... -

Working with Mary Beth Poe was a wonderful experience. She was very knowledgeable and very professional. We had hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, a champaign toast, seated dinner and then cake. It was excellent! The food was great and the service was wonderful. We would definitely recommend MBP Catering. -

Very good service, even though they were short staffed the day of our wedding. We had a tasting, a couple of other meetings with the coordinator. Very professional, great food, and reasonably priced for their services. Our contact made arrangements to provide Skyline brand chili for late night snacks - a must have for my wife's Cincinnati relatives! -

The food was great, however the wait staff was not attentive to keeping the buffet stocked. Guests had to ask if there was more meat during their first trip to the buffet. The prices were great for the quality, but when planning for your wedding, make sure yiu budget for linens, plates and glassware. I was actually able to buy linens cheaper than renting them. I was charged for longer than the actually wait staff was on ground. Please have your event coordinator make a note when the caterer leaves with the caterer so you are not over charged. -

Great Food, Good Service... when you can find them
I arranged my wedding long-distance, so my parents went to the tasting. Apparently, everything on the menu was delicious. Some of the choices were somewhat expensive, especially when an extra $5 a plate is multiplied by 100 guests.
The food at the wedding was delicious. I don't even like salad and I was blown away by the greens. The potatoes were a bit heavily spiced in my opinion, but they went well with the roast beef. The arrangement of the buffet was somewhat awkward, but that says more about the venue I picked than the caterers. We had pie (baked by a friend of the family) instead of cake, and the caterers did an amazing job arranging them in an absolutely stunning way. Our party favors were cookies made by my mother, and they incorporated them seamlessly into the table settings.
My biggest complaint was with the staff and my communications with them during the wedding. They said the food was ready, but when the bridal party went into the room with the buffet, there was no one to be seen and no plates. When we finally located the caterers we were informed that what they'd ~meant~ was that they'd be hand-serving salad shortly. Later, we told them to be prepared because we were about to cut the pie and they said they were ready. The cutting itself went smoothly, but when we were finished there were no caterers to be found anywhere! The serving pies were uncut and we were left standing awkwardly in front of a hundred guests looking at the pie like starving piranhas. The fathers had to step in and start serving people before they started a riot (I'm only slightly exaggerating). Eventually, the caterers returned and the point person did apologize. I didn't make a fuss at the time because it was too late to change what had happened and I didn't want drama to tarnish my wedding day.

At the beginning of the planning process, our consultant was very responsive and flexible. However as the wedding came closer there was minimal communication from their end. Also, we had many complaints from our wedding guests about the service of the waiters. Despite the complaints the food was still very good. -

I first began working with MBP & the person assigned to us (Lisa) was let go, I was not informed of this but had already signed a contract with the company--the owner Mary took our wedding reception over, shes very nice but very blunt in her suggestions and what she thinks is neccessary, I finally had to put my foot down as she was adding charges to our night that were not needed/asked for. Overall the company did a great job with the food and service, but I wish I would of had more options to choose from in catering as our venue only allow MBP or another company that was even more expensive which is why we chose MBP. -

We used MBP catering for just our bar services, because it was the approved bar caterer for our venue. At first, the person I spoke to on the phone was really rude and unprofessional. She seemed aggravated that I was just doing bar, and not catering, and seemed pushy when it came to signing a contract. However, once I got placed with a person dealing with my contract, the new person was very nice and helpful. The bar tenders at the event were nice and good at what they did. My only complaint is that I requested they have no tip jar since I was going to tip for all of my guests, however I found out after the even from my family that they had a tip jar and were accepting tips, which I thought was a bit inconsiderate. -
