Catering by Uptown

Our wedding coordinator Marissa made all of the day go smoothly. She was always easy to locate and ready to help with a smile. Thank you for top notch employees and a lovely venue!

We recently had our wedding at Celebrations at the Bay (Chesapeake Ballroom) and couldn't be happier with our choice. From the moment we stepped foot into the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day. The Chesapeake Ballroom exudes elegance and charm, providing a beautiful backdrop for both our ceremony and reception. The planning process was incredibly smooth and stress-free, thanks to the amazing team at Celebrations at the Bay. Zoe and Randy, our planner and day-of coordinator provided by the venue, were absolute gems. They were attentive, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of. Their expertise and professionalism made the entire experience enjoyable and worry-free. The catering provided by Catering by Uptown was outstanding. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how amazing the meal was, and the open bar was a hit with everyone. Additionally, the selection of table settings, linens, and decorations offered by the venue allowed us to personalize our event and create the atmosphere we envisioned. Celebrations at the Bay truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. Special mention must be made of the staff who worked tirelessly to ensure that everything ran smoothly. They were exceptional, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure that all of our guests were taken care of. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue than the Chesapeake Ballroom. It exceeded all of our expectations, and we're so grateful to everyone who played a part in making our day so special. If you're looking for a venue that combines elegance, excellent service, and amazing food, look no further than the Chesapeake Ballroom. Highly recommended!

I hosted my bridal shower The Knollview House at Celebrations, and it was nothing short of amazing. Anne was incredible to work with—her responsiveness and attention to detail made the entire planning process so smooth. From start to finish, she made sure every aspect of the event was perfect, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my special day.

The food was exceptional, with so many of my guests raving about the lobster bisque—it was easily one of the highlights of the menu! The rest of the meal was just as impressive, and the entire staff was attentive, professional, and genuinely warm throughout the event.

The venue itself is stunning, set right on the water with breathtaking views that made for the most beautiful photos. The natural scenery combined with the charm of The Knollview House created such an elegant and serene atmosphere.

If you’re looking for a venue that combines gorgeous views, excellent food, and a top-notch team, Celebrations is the place to go. I couldn’t recommend Anne and her team more highly—they truly made my bridal shower unforgettable!

My wife and I are extremely grateful to have been married at The Bayfront Club. The venue is beautiful, the catering company (Catering by Uptown) is amazing, and the staff is great. They make it a “one stop shop” for most wedding tasks which really helps with the overall wedding planning.

From working with Anne to lock down the contract (had a lot of patience and was willing to discuss any questions we had), to Marcie who helped us plan all the wedding details (went out of her way to make sure everything was correct and what we wanted), Veronica (day of coordinator) who made sure everyone/everything was perfect and exactly as planned for our wedding day, the bar tender (Tom) was amazing and made sure no one went thirsty, to the service staff that worked tirelessly to make sure everything was in order and perfect, we can’t thank you enough!

We highly recommend!

Amazing food and views!!! The staff was so great at making everything so seamless! Highly recommend them!

The entire process, the staff, tastings, food, set up and break down was flawless. I can't say enough positive things about my entire experience with Catering by Uptown. The staff is phenomenal, the food was elegantly put together and served. They keep you informed about the whole peocess, pricing, etc. I know exactly who to call when I have another event.

We couldn’t be happier with CBU at our wedding! We were married on New Years Eve at the Torpedo Factory and guests are still raving about our big day. From start to finish, the team was phenomenal. Our account manager was always quick to respond, detailed, and extremely helpful during the planning process! The day of staff was professional, attentive, and so friendly—going above and beyond to make everything seamless. And the food? Absolutely incredible! Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted even better than we remembered at the tasting. Guests were even snapping pictures of the stunning symphony salad, and I still think about the crab cakes—they were that good! My husband is a chef so food was very important to him on our big day. They also accommodated dietary restrictions with care, making everyone feel included which was great for some of our important family members! What truly stood out was their attention to detail and genuine care. They ensured we were always taken care of, kept dinner service efficient for more dance-floor time, and flawlessly timed everything. If you’re looking for exceptional food and outstanding service, CBU is the way to go. We’re so grateful for the unforgettable experience they created!

The food was more than fabulous. This was absolutely divine. the appetizers, dinner, and wedding cake had such a variety and with Buffett style our guests were able to have more than one plate! The open bar had a lively bartender that kept our guests hands full

From the food to the drinks to the cake, catering by uptown did a fantastic job! Our guest loved everything about the experience especially receiving a refreshing lemonade before the ceremony even begun. Thank you for everything!

I don't know how we got so lucky in being assigned Aimee as our Catering Supervisor at our wedding at Knollview House. She not only was responsive, kind, thoughtful, professional, highly experienced and knowledgeable at her job, she saved the day many times over. Whether it was helping the DJ get a signal for his music, hemming my gown so that I wouldn't trip over it during our First Dance, gathering everyone together at the end of the wedding for our sparkler send-off, or creatively finding a way to get my grandson's corsage to stay affixed to his shirt, she was invaluable to helping our wedding become the most wonderful day of our lives and a most memorable day for our guests. We will not soon forget her. We highly, happily, and without hesitation recommend her and Knollview House as the best ever place to have a wedding in the area.
