Cater2Events is absolutely AMAZING, and I am so thankful they were apart of our wedding! Lona was truly incredible to work with, as we started to tell her our vision for dinner than quickly realized, my husband and I have very different tastes in food. However, Lona was able to create a menu that incorporates all of our favorite things, and helped us come to the decision of doing stations, and truly give our guests a unique dining experience, which is exactly what we wanted for our wedding!

During our tasting Lona made a variety of different things, and welcomed all feedback. Everything was absolutely delicious.

During the wedding the team really all came together and provided the best service possible. From the cocktail hour, serving complex signature drinks, to the immaculate service, to the attention to detail and care in all things.

The team went above and beyond, and even incorporated our dog (twinkie) into the deserts, by making the most delicious twinkies in the world - this attention to detail is what made us love cater 2 events!

I highly recommend them for any and all catering events, especially weddings. However, we are planning to have them cater our future baby shower, sister’s bridal party, and more – that is truly how incredible this team was.

Gil and his entire staff at Cater2Events were simply amazing! Not only was the food incredible at my daughters wedding; the staff were the most positive service oriented folks you could ever hope for. Kudos and thanks to all of them!!

So glad that we were able to work with Cater2 Events for our wedding. After talking with a few caterers it was clear that Lona listened to what I was looking for and provided a menu that looked absolutely delicious! At the tasting, we knew we were making the right decision because all of the food was SO good, and as a plus Lona and Gill were so fun to talk to :) Prior to the wedding Cater 2 Events was so quick to answer all of my messages, and were able to help provide the right direction/solutions on everything. Leading up to the wedding, I was put at ease because I knew Cater 2 Events was going to be perfect, and it was clear they were prepared and were thinking of all the small details.

Now for the food, it was absolutely delicious, they went above and beyond with everything they prepared from the appetizers to the stations, they were all so so good. They also presented all of the food so beautifully and all of the servers/bartenders were so kind. You could tell that each dish was prepared with love and detail and it definitely came across in the taste. Our guests are still talking about the food at the wedding, especially the shrimp and grits!

I am absolutely thrilled to write this review for Cater2Events, who catered both our rehearsal dinner and wedding with unmatched excellence. From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations in every way and left us with unforgettable memories of delicious food and exceptional service. Not to mention, owners Gill and Lona are an absolute DREAM team and we are just so fond of the two of them.

The team at Cater2Events truly went above and beyond to make our events truly special. Right from our initial consultation, they took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and dietary restrictions. They provided invaluable guidance and suggestions, helping us curate menus that were not only mouthwatering but also tailored to our diverse tastes.

Each dish was crafted with love and care, only using the freshest ingredients. Whether it was the delectable appetizers that had everyone raving or the beautifully plated main courses that left our guests impressed, every bite was a testament to the skill and expertise of their team.

What truly set Cater2Events apart was their impeccable service. The waitstaff was attentive, friendly, and always ready to accommodate our guests' needs. They seamlessly managed the flow of the events, ensuring that everyone was well taken care of. The professionalism and warmth exhibited by the entire team made us feel like we were in the hands of true experts.

Our rehearsal dinner and wedding were undoubtedly the highlight of our lives, thanks in large part to the exceptional services provided by Cater2Eents. They transformed our vision into a reality, leaving our guests impressed and ensuring that we could enjoy our special moments without worrying about a thing.

I wholeheartedly recommend Cater2Events to anyone in search of a catering company that delivers outstanding food, impeccable service, and an overall unforgettable experience. They are true professionals who genuinely care about their clients, and we are incredibly grateful to have had them as part of our wedding celebrations.

We want to express our sincere gratitude to Cater2Events for the outstanding food and service provided at our daughter’s recent wedding reception at Eastwood Farm & Winery in Charlottesville, Virginia. From start to finish, it was a pleasure to work with Lona, Gill, and Lisa. Planning the menu was easy. The tasting, which was actually an entire meal, was a memorable experience with delicious choices. The reception set up and service were flawless. The entire Cater2Events team showed outstanding professionalism and calm throughout – even as it was pouring rain outside the big tent where the ceremony and reception were held.

Now for the food. We received so many compliments from guests about the food Lona, Gill, and their team provided. As one guest commented: “it was the best wedding food they’ve ever eaten.” We agree! It’s difficult to pick out “the highlights” without just listing the entire menu. Forced to choose a couple of highlights to mention, we’d have to say the main-course Jack Daniels-marinated beef tenderloin with garlic mashed potatoes with cream Fraiche was outstanding – we can’t imagine how they prepared enough for 130 people with consistent quality and transported it to Charlottesville and have it taste as if they prepared it table-side. Of course, Lona’s famous sweet potato ham biscuits were a big hit (even for those that don’t like sweet potato).

We highly recommend Cater2Events for any catering needs.

Book Cater2Events immediately! Lona, Gil, and their whole team are incredible. They helped customize every aspect of our wedding day from dietary restrictions to their first time doing passed desserts so no one missed a beat on the dance floor. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and beverage quality and variety. The service was impeccable and our other vendors loved partnering with them. As a bonus we continue to get Lona’s famous biscuits every holiday season!

Cater 2 Events not only catered my daughter's wedding but also served as my wedding planner. The wedding was May 1, 2021 and could not have been more perfect! Lona, Lisa and Gil left no stone unturned when it came to details and execution of our event. When we encountered hurtles, they handled them like pros and kept me away from any undo stress. They helped me acquire a fantastic florist, shout out to Starry Night Events, when my initial florist backed out 4 weeks before the wedding. They took care of everything, which made all the planning during covid seamless. In addition to all the above, they served the most delicious spread of food. From the beef tenderloin to the crab cakes, everything was amazing. They say that the food and the band make the wedding, Cater 2 Events did not disappoint. Guests are still talking about the wonderful and yummy food. I have two more daughters and will 100% be using them again when they plan weddings.

We booked Cater 2 Events for our wedding and Lona and her team were wonderful! Lisa helped me coordinate all of the food details and rentals and she made the whole process very easy. She was incredibly responsive to the questions that I had which made planning remotely stress-free. Lona was a joy to work with and the presentation of food was excellent the day of. The whole team was so friendly to our guests and took care of everything, letting us enjoy the day without having to worry about the details. If you are considering Cater 2 Events, I highly recommend them!

Hands down best food at a wedding!!!

We booked Cater 2 Events for a backyard October 2020 wedding and it was the best vendor decision we made. If you’re looking for the ultimate wedding vendor, look no further!

Lona, Gil, and the whole team were absolutely incredible! They handled food, bartending, dishware and bar rental, wedding coordination, and the most wonderful last minute rain plan I could imagine. From the start, I was impressed with Lona & Lisa’s responsiveness, menu options, and their flexibility on budget and any change in plans. In a short time, they really got to know us and made us feel like “part of the family”. Unexpected things will always happen - in our case it was rain - but when Lona shows up, you know it’s taken care of. Cater 2 Events went above and beyond both before and on our wedding day and I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received. Book them! And order the mini banana puddings - they belong on every menu!
