Absolutely Delicious

Andrew and his team did an amazing job on the food for our wedding. I received so many compliments on the beef tenderloin and Mac and cheese. The servers were so friendly and professional and even served our cake! They even handled our social hour by offering fruit and cheese. I may be biased, but it was some of the best food I’ve had at a wedding.

Deciding on your wedding caterer is not an easy task! I wanted to be sure I was getting the best value without feeling like the quality of the food was being compromised. Boulevard Catering was able to check off all of the items on my "must have list" while offering a fair price.

Communication was easy and open and they were able to work with my schedule for all calls, tastings and day of timing. They even arrived a bit early to the venue to setup. They were professional and helpful and put me at ease during what was definitely the most stressful few months of my life!

Now the important stuff: the food. We all know "wedding food" when we taste it. I am used to sitting down at weddings to an overcooked, lukewarm, mixture of "surf and turf" and green bean meal that is less than fresh and tasty. I wanted to be sure our caterer could change my mind about wedding food, and Boulevard did. Their food is always fresh, colorful, flavorful and has that just made, homemade, taste.

If you want your guests to leave your wedding with a delicious culinary experience as a takeaway, choose Boulevard Catering for your big day!

We shopped this deal around for a while. My biggest concern with other caterers in the area was their inconsistency with quotes and available menu items, and the timeliness of a response. Granted we decided to schedule our event last minute but none of the other caterers were mindful of our timeliness of the situation despite having put them on notice in the first conversation (we only had 2 weeks to plan it).

I think I talked to Mike (maybe the owner?) at Boulevard Cafe. He put me in touch with his manager (can't recall the lady's name) and it was a tremendous experience. Not only were their prices competitive, but they were professional, consistent across the board and timely.

And the food and event were amazing! No hiccups. We all had a great time and will be hiring them for our holiday party next year as well.

In addition to providing exceptional food (which everyone expects from a caterer), they also delivered unprecedented service from start to finish. The most frustrating part of planning an event, is ensuring you do not miss a step, particularly with the food and drink - working with Tracy and the team at Boulevard Cafe made that burden disappear! Highly recommended for any corporate or social gathering.

The Boulevard catering team felt like an extension of my own family and that's before anyone even tried the food! Incredibly courteous, professional and almost obsessive about the service they provide. The food was just superb. Fantastic selection, very fresh, and beautifully presented. I felt like I spent the night being approached by guests complimenting the food - at one point I thought about taking credit for it :)

If you're in the DC area and are hosting a wedding, a corporate party or any other large format event, Boulevard Cafe is an absolute must have. Could not be more thankful.

I cannot say enough positive things about the level of service we received from Boulevard Catering. From my initial inquiry on the website to the very last minute of them being at the venue, they gave me world class service and 150% effort levels. I worked with Samar who was incredibly organized and took care of every detail.

It was also very refreshing to work with a family owned company that you can tell hasn't lost sight of the intangibles that should surround catering an event.

The food was absolutely AMAZING. Every person raved about how delicious everything was. I can't thank Boulevard Catering enough!!
