C&O Catering (and Amy Morris, specifically!) made our rehearsal dinner and welcome reception absolutely perfect! Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS. Really, our guests could not stop talking about the dinner, desserts, and beautifully constructed cocktails, which were all outstanding. C&O was also absolutely wonderful to work with in the lead to the event; they were flexible and patient as could be and accommodated our every request. I actually cannot possibly imagine a better caterer.

C&O’s absolute best asset, however, is Amy Morris (C&O’s catering director). Amy is an absolute rockstar and she was truly one of the best parts of our entire wedding planning process. From the second we connected with her over a year before our event, it was evident that she is simply one of the most competent, organized, kind, professional, creative, and generous people we have ever met. She responded to texts and emails instantly, made time for us at all hours to accommodate our schedules, was deeply patient with our million questions, and always made us feel like we were her only clients and absolute #1 priority. Amy listened to our vision and worked with us to craft a plan to execute it perfectly (including with respect to things outside her precise catering responsibilities, because she is just that good), keeping us calm through any stress and making us feel completely confident that our event would be incredible. Thanks to Amy, our rehearsal dinner and welcome reception were flawless — everything was exactly as we had imagined it. The venue looked stunning, everything ran smoothly and exactly on schedule, and every single member of the C&O team was professional and on top of everything. Having Amy there meant we could ask for literally anything and know she would make it happen, so we could just enjoy every moment of the event without worrying.

All that to say, Amy is an absolute gem who goes above and beyond at every step, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her and C&O Catering! Seriously, go book C&O (and Amy) right now if you are lucky enough to have the opportunity; it will be the best wedding planning decision you ever make.

We were thrilled with the overall experience with C&O when they catered our daughter's wedding. They traveled nearly an hour to the venue and the food was perfectly prepared. The overall coordination of team members for setting up the venue, and preparing and serving was perfection.

Being honest, we were most worried about the catering for our wedding. We are both foodies, and weddings typically do not have stellar cuisine and it costs a fortune. However, we came across C&O after it was recommended to us. We tried it for dinner, did our tasting and were blown away. Two months prior to the wedding we realized we had to change a food option to accommodate our guests. The owner, Dean, had us come back and was extremely generous in hosting us. The day of the wedding the team of servers, captain, bar tenders and Dean himself were absolutely perfect, things just happened despite our not having a coordinator. To top it off our guests all commented that it was he best wedding food they ever had. Price was very reasonable and if you take into account he quality, a bargain. My wife and I now cant wait to visit Dean and his restaurant at the next opportunity.

Let me start by saying we were difficult customers, picky, had a budget, wanted a vision, changed that vision, etc. etc. And C and O graciously worked with us through it all!

They created a custom menu of southern inspired faire, that was truly the best meal of our lives. Our guests were GUSHING to us about the food, saying it was THE BEST WEDDING FOOD THEY HAD EVER HAD. And we agree!

Cristelle was so creative and thoughtful when helping us make the menu. She worked with us when we wanted to make complicated drinks, changes to sides or major aspects of the stations, etc. She was on board and excited for late night food as much as we were! She was a perfect host. Day of, she was attentive, but not overbearing.

We ate well at our wedding.

We requested a vegan dinner for our wedding and quickly received a response from Dean that included a delicious looking menu. The food was out of this world!! Unlike anything we have ever had. The Gallery space was beautiful and unique, perfect size for our 20 person party. Our server was very responsive and professional. Definitely on the high end for price but absolutely worth it.

C&O did an amazing job catering our June wedding at James Monroe’s Highland. The food was fantastic and we received many compliments from our guests. The servers were all very pleasant and professional. Dean paid exceptional attention to detail and was wonderful to work with during the entire planning process. Definitely 5 stars!

I wish we could have done multiple tastings at C&O-- everything was amazing! We got a plate of appetizers immediately after the ceremony, and we were pretty thrilled about it. Cristelle was also our wedding planner and she was absolutely amazing. Made decision making super easy and made a hectic day seem smooth as butter!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the C&O. To start with, their food is out of this world. It was so amazing and completely perfect. In addition, they did everything! They set up the entire reception, and went to our ceremony location (which was a few minutes away from the reception) and set up that as well! Cristelle Koerper was FANTASTIC. For an additional cost she was our day-of-coordinator as well. I have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without her! She is so knowledgeable about everything, is full of every possible recommendation along the way, and was so responsive for every question we had along the way, no matter how small. The day of my wedding she was somehow in 10 places at once, taking care of everything. I had absolutely zero worries on my wedding day, and I owe that to her! She even made she sure that she plated some of the (AMZING) passed hors d'oeuvres from cocktail hour so that my husband and I could have a moment to ourselves after the ceremony. It was such a small thing that allowed us to take a second to breathe! I cannot say enough good things about Cristelle or the C&O. Honestly, I would recommend to anyone, a million times over!

It’s a crime it took me so long to write this review! C&O will always have a special place in our hearts. They not only catered our wedding but we also had a more intimate rehearsal dinner at the restaurant Friday evening followed by drinks and dessert for all of our wedding guests. To start, there were plenty of options between Friday and Saturday to choose from without offering the same dishes twice and the chef was flexible with all dietary restrictions (I’m pescatarian, we had guests that were gluten free and dairy free as well). I haven’t eaten anything from C&O that wasn’t phenomenal. Our guests raved about how good the food was! Everything came out hot (we had heard stories from friends that were disappointed at other weddings) and the presentation was on point! The ambiance at C&O is also perfect for a private event and Cristelle and her team worked with us every step up the way so that things were set up the way we wanted. Everyone at the restaurant and all of the servers we came into contact with on the wedding day were incredibly professional and accommodating and we would highly recommend using C&O for catering any private event.

All that said, having Cristelle as our day-of-coordinator was absolutely the best money spent on our our day. As an extremely detail oriented bride, I needed someone I could trust who listened to what we wanted and was able to execute. Cristelle was so accommodating, she listened to our ideas and even if it wasn’t something she had previously done, she was open to making it happen. She also gave advice whenever necessary and helped guide us with making all the right decisions. Cristelle knows everyone in Charlottesville and this came in really handy as we needed to make game-time decisions (it rained pretty much every weekend last fall and our wedding was at the end of October so we needed to make quick decisions for a rain contingency). With Cristelle’s connections, we also had plenty of options for our rentals (we got married at King so pretty much everything had to be rented from utensils to serving trays) and she made it easy to pick and choose items from various vendors while keeping price in mind. Even with the rain, Cristelle knew what was important to us and truly helped to make our dream wedding happen. I knew I had nothing to stress about on our day with her there and she kept tabs on everything and everyone. Cristelle is a joy to work with and you won’t regret having her there to help run the show!

C&O's food quality, service, presentation and professionalism is spectacular. We used their catering service for our wedding at Early Mountain Vineyards and we were beyond impressed throughout the entire process. Dean takes care of literally everything and makes the entire experience seamless. His prices are more than reasonable as well. We continue to receive countless compliments on the food at our wedding from our guests months after the event - we highly recommend this vendor!!
