Delicous and Satisfying Meal for Our Wedding

We knew we would be contracting Creating Catering of VA from the moment we attended a tasting with them. Cortnee Lane and Caitlin Murphy kept an open line of communication with us for the months leading up to our wedding and helped us finalize all the details of our meal. The options were plentiful, and we were incredibly happy with the menu we chose. We had a buffet style meal with an open bar. Everything went perfectly and we heard from numerous guests that they loved the food. We highly recommend working with them!

Absolutely amazing!

When I began searching for a caterer, I quickly realized that they are all SO EXPENSIVE! And a few of the first caterers I came in contact with were slow to respond, not forthcoming with various fees, and did not have many food options. But that all changed when I spoke with Creative Catering of VA! Every single person I spoke with was so kind and explained all of the pricing and package options so that I felt like I understood exactly what the quote meant. When my fiancé and I went to our tasting we knew we had found our caterer. The food was delicious and we just knew our guests would love it. Everyone at our wedding was talking about how much they enjoyed their meal and the choices they had at the buffet. Creative Catering even went above and beyond to work with us to ensure my mother-in-law could have a gluten-free meal that would be delicious and safe for her to eat. The staff at the wedding took the time to point out to her all the options that were available to her and answered all of her questions graciously. I can't say enough good things about Creative Catering!
My husband and I are still talking about how delicious the meal was, and how we really need to find out what kind of bread rolls Creative Catering uses--they're that good!!! :)

Superior Service

CCVA did such a fantastic job with my bonus daughter's engagement party we decided to use them for this "little" event (of 700 :>) we were having at the Virginia Air and Space Science Center! The food was delicious, plentiful, and nicely presented. The staff were professional from the start of the planning to the end of the event night! It was a true pleasure to work with CCVA.

We absolutely loved working with Creative Catering of VA for our wedding. Throughout the entire planning process, Alyssa and the staff worked with us to fit our schedule and our needs, especially while planning the wedding from afar!

Alyssa scheduled a private tasting for us and presented all of the food options beautifully. We then switched between wanting buffet and plated meals, our dessert types, adding lemonade stands, and plenty of other changes! Creative Catering was extremely flexible and met every one of our requests and needs promptly, always being sure to let us know transparently how updates may impact cost or feasibility with our venue. It was very helpful during the planning process!

The food was AMAZING. The appetizers were delicious (everybody was talking about the mini quiches!) and the food was excellent. The guests were raving about the meal, and nobody left hungry. Plus, Creative Catering also added some late-night snacks that everybody loved--those were a big hit with the younger crowd. Creative Catering did all of this well within our budget, and we couldn't be more grateful for the quality!! Everybody loved the food. To do it again, I wouldn't change a single thing.Thank you so much!

Creative Catering of Virginia

The staff at Creative Catering from the beginning was very attentive to what I needed, prompt in their responses to my questions and concerns, very professional and courteous to my guests and myself at and for my Mother's Birthday Celebration at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens this summer, and the food was delicious! Thank you so much to all of you for a very WONDERFUL experience!

Helpful and Accomodating with Delicious Food!

If you are a newly engaged couple and feeling overwhelmed, please call Karen at Creative Catering of Virginia as she was really impressive and made sure that the planning for food and beverages at our wedding was as smooth as it could be!! We used Creative Catering of Virginia for our wedding catering and bartending in October. We had gone to several tastings and events in order to find the perfect option for us. Karen at Creative Catering was by far the most professional and helpful person we met along the way! Not only did she help us design the perfect menu for our budget, she also helped with other things too. For example, she was able to give us our napkins ahead of time with the sparkly ring holders that we bought for the event. During the wedding, the staff of creative catering were extremely helpful! They butlered apps at cocktail hour and they made sure to visit us, the bride and groom, when we were posing for family portraits. They helped in every way they could. They helped with design work, they helped with set up, they help with breakdown, they helped with the bar when the bar line was too long. They were just wonderful to work with and we were very impressed at the level of service! Our head table never had an empty glass and I saw them making the rounds with wine to the other tables as well! I was so happy that we went with Creative Catering! My uncle, who eats at a lot of catered dinners for his business, said that this was the best catered food he had ever tried.

We can’t give enough positive feedback to Karen! She was absolutely fabulous! You will sleep well tonight after contacting Karen and locking down Creative Catering's staff for your wedding needs!

I recently hired Creative Catering for my son's wedding. We only had a few weeks to plan it. Up until the very end, I was determined to do most of the cooking myself. About 5 days before the wedding I finally realized I needed help, and in a hurry!! I contacted Nicole and with-in 2 days we had the menu planned with-in the budget that I had to work with and it look the weight of the world off of my shoulders. I used them as a drop-off service. They were on time and very professional. Best thing is every single dish was a hit!!! The food was perfect and plentiful for the amount of guests we planned for. The company I work for used Creative Catering for our 2012 Christmas party and a recent party in June of this year to welcome a new Upper Management employee. My step-son is getting married next summer. There is no doubt in my mind - I will be calling Nicole again!!! :-D

Best food ever

Booking a caterer was one of the most daunting tasks of our wedding planning process until the moment I spoke to Karen from CCoV. She answered any and all questions that we had throughout the entire process, no matter how annoying the questions were. She made sure to go over everything with us with a fine tooth comb. She also made special accommodations for our guests with food allergies such as putting cheese on the side of all of the salads and making sure our vegan guests food was not compromised by any animal products. Not to mention that the food was cooked absolutely perfect!!! We had a special request for our steak dish to be cooked medium rare and not a single one was over cooked, which is a really hard thing to achieve when cooking in mass quantities. I HIGHLY recommend giving them a call and booking them! Thank you again for all of your hard work and making sure that our day was beautiful and tasty :)
