The Best Food and Vendor

David was our favorite vendor of our wedding. The food was fantastic, we were looking forward to our meal for months after our tasting and every guest commented on how much they enjoyed the food. Our tasting with David was such an enjoyable experience because he made it stress-free and had so much helpful advice while happily finding ways to meet our vision and ideas to put custom touches on our wedding. We ended up hosting a post-wedding brunch at his property, bluemont vineyard because we loved the food so much. David allowed us to make as many changes in menu, guest count, seating and was communicative about any updates and our questions about the budget. We would pick him happy for any future events and could not imagine our wedding being as fantastic as it was without him and his team.

Great Catering!

David at celebrations was a delight to work with! He was very knowledgeable and was very flexible with my hectic schedule (I wouldn't recommend planning a wedding while deployed). All the virtual calls I had with him made me feel more comfortable with using Celebrations as my catering; David even helped me cut costs when I let him know I was looking to try and tighten the budget. Day off, the food was amazing as well as the waitstaff and bartenders. We didn’t opt for a signature drink for the guests, but as the bride I wanted a specialized drink throughout the night, the bartenders were happy to make the drink and they had one ready whenever I wanted a refill! They were so personable and friendly, I would absolutely recommend Celebrations Catering!

As a side note- they also have a venue Whitehall estates that is absolutely beautiful, in retrospect, I wish I had utilized them as my venue.

Delicious food and wonderful service

We had an amazing experience with celebrations catering. David, the owner was very knowledgeable and helped guide us during the planning process. The food at our wedding was incredible! The beef was cooked PERFECTLY. Many of my guests told me throughout the night how delicious their meals were. We had beef, salmon and a vegetarian butternut squash ravioli. The catering staff did an amazing job and were attentive without being overbearing. Wonderful experience with Celebrations Catering!
