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!

Great food, great service!

Celebrations catering was a fantastic complement to our wedding at the Rosemont Manor last fall. The owner, David, helped us decide the perfect menu and offered a delicious tasting for both my wife and I’s families prior to the event. He also had some great recommendations about the wedding planning in general! The food was simply fantastic- we received numerous compliments from guests about how spectacular everything tasted on the big day. David was very patient with our questions and helping us set up the buffet and table arrangements at the venue. He was also incredibly accommodating when we needed to add on alcohol (somewhat) last minute. The staff on the night of the wedding were incredibly professional and helpful. They also ensured that both my wife and I had plates of food set up for us and that we ate (something most won’t consider, but it’s not easy eating at your own wedding!) Not a single complaint about any of the service. We had a night worthy of the most important celebration of our lives!

Wonderful staff and amazing food

David was an incredible help in our planning and extremely knowledgeable on all things wedding. We had many, many compliments on our food, which was not your typical “wedding food.” All the servers and staff the day-of were kind and helpful.

Hands down the BEST decision

When you have several guests message you, days later, about how incredible the steak was, you know you hired a winner. Plus, David helped us so much with little details (non-catering related) that we hadn't even thought of. This vendor went above and beyond, especially during the early days of Covid when we were just planning. 100% recommend.

Amazing food!

David was such a big help planning the food, the floor plan, and so many other little details. The food was AMAZING! The mac & cheese was my favorite thing we picked, but everything was really good. Our guests were all commenting on how great the food was. We also needed some very specific allergy-safe meals and he worked with us to put together delicious options for those guests. I wanted to do a Pittsburgh-style cookie table and David worked with us to come up with a COVID-safe solution so I could have my cookie experience, which turned out great. The catering staff who worked at our wedding were also terrific. So professional and on top of everything. It was perfect. I would definitely recommend them.

Best Catering EVER! WOW!

David and his colleagues catered our weekend wedding celebration at Historic Rosemont in Berryville, VA, and both the food and the service were unbelievably MAGNIFICENT! David is a food artist and a food visionary. And given his position, EXTREMELY accessible as well as very friendly, interesting, talented, and hospitable. My husband and I were engaged on Mardi Gras so we wanted to incorporate a New Orleans theme into our rehearsal dinner, and as soon as we mentioned that, David and his creative mind were off and running! You give this exceptionally talented man an idea and he runs with it! He brings your food vision to life before your eyes. ALL the food provided by Celebrations Catering was exquisitely delicious! Guests excitedly reported they had the most delicious food ever until they tried the next thing...and the next thing...and the next! Every food offering was of the highest quality and everyone was delighted! David and his food and hospitality artisans also catered our wedding reception and after party, too, where each and every meal was incredibly creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Our guests were overwhelmed by both the elegance of the food presentation, as well as the exquisite taste. We LOVE both David and his staff, they are quite simply THE BEST ( We love you David and we love you Walter!) The creative vision, the fine attention to EVERY detail, the elegant presentation, the INCREDIBLY respectful and attentive servers, the complete and total YUMMINESS of everything was quite completely extraordinary. David, Walter and each and every extremely talented member of his staff are rare and precious treasures! Thanks to all of you for sharing your time, talent, and treasure with us, you truly made our wedding weekend a dream come true!

One of the best decisions we made!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to use Celebrations Catering. We initially hired them for our big wedding in Frederick, but after COVID hit, we decided to downsize to a few of our closest family and friends at my childhood home in the Annapolis area. Tammy and her team were SO accommodating and took on our micro-wedding without a second thought.

Let's start with the food - it is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters were a hit! Everyone said they were the most unique wedding appetizers they had ever had (chicken and waffles, mini burgers, bacon wrapped shrimp), and no one was left hungry. Dinner was beef tenderloin with mushroom sauce and crabcakes - SO delicious and really great sized portions. It was the best wedding food I've ever had.

But beyond the food, what makes Celebrations so special is the staff. They truly felt like part of the family by the end of the evening. Tammy's calming presence before I walked down the aisle was so appreciated, and she always made sure my husband and I had food while taking our portrait photos. Her staff were the kindest people I've ever met and I felt so blessed to have them there with us. They made sure everything went smoothly and handled our guests with such care, and I couldn't be more thankful for them. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

Go with Celebrations and I promise it will be the best decision you'll make for your big day!

Perfect Day (Sept13)

We were blown away by the Celebrations team! The food was phenomenal - all of our guests raved about it (and still are). Before COVID we were planning to do a buffet. About a month out from our wedding we decided to pivot and do a plated dinner instead. David at Celebrations was incredibly patient and efficient in making those changes for us. We went with a dual plated meal instead of giving guests a choice and EVERYTHING on the plate was delicious. The bartenders and catering staff were amazing as well. Our wedding day was perfect, and Celebrations knocked it out of the park!! We would absolutely recommend them to a friend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
