Delicious apple cider donuts & DRINKING CHOCOLATE!

Carpe Donut did a fantastic job catering the farewell brunch the day after our wedding! The whole operation was contained in their food truck, which pulled right up to our outdoor pavilion. They provided everything we needed (donuts, coffee, drinks, fruit, bagels, utensils, paper products). The fresh apple cider donuts and drinking chocolate were big hits with our guests. And they even brought a batch of gluten-free donuts to accommodate the bride’s food allergy.

Communication/coordination was effortless with their administrative team, and the truck & service team arrived early to the site, so they were set up and ready to start serving their delicious treats with plenty of time to spare.

Say "Yes" to the Donuts!

My daughter and new son-in-law are not really dessert people, but they do love donuts and wanted to make their wedding dessert "fun." Carpe Donut provided both great fun and deliciousness! We're originally from NY State, where apple cider donuts (made with apples from NY orchards) are a staple. It was a tall order for a donut truck from Virginia to meet our expectations, but they did so in spades! Our guests (many from NY) loved the donuts with ice-cream and the novelty of the whimsical truck. Server was charming and got into the excitement of the event. This was a unique, special, and super sweet experience!

A huge hit!

My husband and I are not big cake people, but we love donuts! Carpe Donut was one of the first vendors we booked, and we are oh so glad we did! The donuts were delicious and the truck is adorable. So many people told us they went back for seconds! A huge hit and a fun addition to any wedding.

Fun wedding dessert option!

Carpe donut was a hit at our wedding! We didn’t want to serve cake and Carpe Donut provided a unique service which our guests loved. They served fresh-apple cider donuts and coffee. The donuts are amazing – we still have our family and friends telling us how good they were. Compared to other dessert options, it felt like a very reasonable choice pricewise to go with Carpe Donut. The cart they use is so cute and a great photo op! We are so happy we decided to use Carpe Donut and 100% recommend!

Perfect option for dessert!

Carpe Donut catered my wedding in November 2023, and it was absolutely perfect. Matt was a blast to work with. Our tasting was super fun getting to pick our different donut flavors and drink options. In addition to dessert, the catered the delicious appetizers during the cocktail hour (charceuterie style). Our guests were wowed by the fresh made donuts and delicious hot drinks at the wedding. Instead of doing a cake cutting, Matt had the great idea to do an "infinity donut," and we got some great pictures of my husband and I sharing it lady-and-the-tramp style. Overall it was a great experience working with Carpe Donut. On top of delicious donuts, they are friendly, easy to work with, and very professional. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for a unique dessert option for your event. This is definitely a way better option than cake!

Highlight of the evening

Carpe Donuts catered our wedding and they were by far the hit of the evening! Family and friends are still raving about how great the donuts were. Beyond the quality, Carpe Donuts were beyond nice to work with, even with all the changes that came with COVID. They went above and beyond what was required. I would not hesitate to book them for your next event- it will be one of the best things you do!

Delicious!!! Highly recommend for weddings :)

We used Carpe Donut for our October wedding and the apple cider donuts dusted with cinnamon sugar were the perfect fall treat! We topped them with their artisanal vanilla ice cream and gave them "Love is Sweet" cups and "Donut Mind If I Do" napkins to serve them. It was a chilly evening, so we also had them offer coffee and hot chocolate. The guests loved it - Carpe Donut was such a hit!!

Book now and don't look back!

Our guest devoured the donuts. Perfectly fresh and hot on a crisp autumn night. The truck added a whimsical element to our day.

The Perfect Touch

We were so lucky to work with the Carpe Donut team for our daughter's October 2020 wedding. The donut truck was perfect, the donuts and hot cider were AMAZING, and it was the perfect touch to a Fall wedding. We would highly recommend Carpe Donuts to any bride and/or event!
