Delicious food and wonderful to work with!

Stephanie and her team did an amazing job for our wedding. Her food was delicious and our guests were happy and full! We loved her options for classy comfort food (that cornbread is to die for), and she is affordably priced. They handled multiple last minute and originally unknown dietary needs and restrictions of our guests without hiccup. Stephanie also helped us fulfill my dream of serving Carvel ice cream cake as our wedding cake. She was extremely flexible in altering her staff’s arrival time to coincide with the delivery of our cakes to be stored in her freezers, facilitated our champagne pour at no additional cost, despite us hiring a secondary mobile bar vendor, and had beautiful mismatched China for our dinner tables that complimented our vintage theme perfectly. The day went smoothly and all of her staff were extremely professional and efficient. They provided our linens, all tableware, champagne pour, cutting/serving of cake, and even let us take home our leftovers! Would highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!

My husband & I had Stephanie cater our wedding on 08/27/2022 in King George, VA. Today is 01/22/2024, I STILL have people complementing our food! We have decided that each year for our anniversary, we will have Stephanie cater for us. When my husband retires, she will be getting a call to cater his party if he wants one! You will NOT be disappointed!

Great service!

The best catering service out there, Stephanie and her team were so amazing on my big day. She always answered any of my questions and always went above and beyond for me, the food was so amazing and I got to try the items before hand and was able to switch or add anything I wanted before the wedding. A must book!

Great food, great service

Country Lane Catering went above and beyond for our wedding. I can’t thank them enough for how it all turned out. We had two guests that required special plates due to allergies and they were extremely accommodating. Our favorites were the southwest egg rolls, crab cakes, and roasted potato salad. I would definitely recommend booking them and hope we have an opportunity to use them again!

Amazing food, great expertise

Stephanie's service goes above and beyond her incredible food. She thinks about the bride and groom's experience. She ensured we had meals waiting for us and even midnight meals As far as service, we wanted something slightly different and she had the best advice for us and made us feel like we were in the best hands, and we were! Our day was amazing. Highly recommend!

Great Food Great Price!

Country Lane Catering was a delight to work with from start to finish. Stephanie made the process seamless and provided a “date-like” taste test for my wife and I. She helped us create our menu for the evening, which everyone enjoyed, especially the smoked chicken leg quarters and THE CORNBREAD! Stephanie was also honest throughout the process and helped us with accurate counts for the food as when we told her how many guests we had. Most of the food was gone at the end of the night. They were on time for our reception and by far one of the easiest vendors to work with for our wedding. Stephanie was personable and kind through booking to delivery. Thank you again!

Affordable, High-Quality Caterer

My husband and I are pretty big foodies and are especially particular when it comes to BBQ and macaroni and cheese, which we knew we wanted to serve at our wedding. We searched far and wide to find the best Southern-style buffet food and Country Lane Catering was the winner BY FAR. We set up a tasting about a year out from our wedding and we were simply blown away by the food. We booked Stephanie and her team immediately and had nothing but positive experiences from then on! Stephanie is very responsive to emails and calls and is always willing to provide suggestions about catering, the flow of the reception, and wedding planning in general. She was willing to work with me to try to find blue and white China plates to match my decor and even let us come visit her space again to see what options for plates/silverware she had. The food they served us at the wedding was top notch- guests have still not stopped talking about that Mac and cheese!! We ended up doing a plated salad with a buffet of BBQ/brisket, macaroni and cheese, green beans, corn bread, and potato salad. The flow of guests to and from the buffet went smoothly and everyone throughly enjoyed the meal. Stephanie also created the most AMAZING white peach sangria for my signature drink and we could not get enough of it! We also booked Stephanie for some additional services including bartending (we had two bartenders and there was never a line at the bar!), trash removal, and silverware/cup/wine glass rental. Overall, we had a wonderful experience working with Stephanie and her team and I highly recommend Country Lane Catering if you’re looking for amazing food and excellent service!

Absolutely amazing from start to finish!!!!

Stephanie and her team are absolutely amazing! The food was phenomenal all my guests were beyond happy and fully satisfied with everything that was offered. We did heavy hors d'oeuvres and everybody left with a full belly, and we still had a little bit that's for us to munch on after our wedding. Stephanie answers all questions and concerns and put you all at ease taking all worry away. She was always responsive and answered anything that I was unsure about. I highly recommend getting their shrimp and grits, Chicken and waffles, brisket, fried mac and cheese bites, well basically now I'm just lifting off my whole menu LOL everything was spectacular and people are still telling me. I would absolutely hire her and her team again to handle any future events hands down!!!!!

Off the charts!

We can hardly put into words how happy we are with our decision to go with Country Lane Catering. Stephanie is an absolute professional. She is extremely easy to work with and truly knows her stuff and went above and beyond for us. She helped us with how the reception was going to go and gave us so many tips that made the day perfect for us and our guests. On week later and our guests are STILL raving about the food. Everything was perfectly cooked, our buffet line went quickly, and we hardly had any leftovers since so many guests went up for more! Get the cornbread, you won’t regret it! Our guest list was over 100 people and the Country Lane team handled it with ease. The bartenders rocked it, too! Great price, great people, great food. We couldn’t ask for anything better!
