Excellent custom catering!

We had a fantastic experience with Creative Catering of Virginia. They created a fully custom vegan and vegetarian menu for us and were incredibly flexible throughout the process. They took all of our feedback from the tastings and adjusted the menu until it was exactly what we wanted.

The food was outstanding—everything was flavorful, well-cooked, and served promptly. We chose a buffet-style service and really loved that option; it worked smoothly and was a great fit for our event. Some standout favorites were the coconut tofu with mango sauce, stuffed mushrooms, gouda mac and cheese, portabella pasta, and the late-night burger sliders and potstickers. We received lots of compliments from our guests on how good the food was.
The catering staff and bartenders were friendly, professional, and on point all night. They did a great job with our custom cocktails and handled everything seamlessly, including cutting and serving the cake.

Overall, the food, service, and attention to detail were excellent, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend them.

Best Wedding Catering Company!

We absolutely loved using Creative Catering for our wedding! Caitlin and Courtnee were so accommodating and helpful with our many requests and questions! The food was amazing and our guests are still reaching out to us to tell us how much they loved everything they ate. We especially heard that the guests loved the salmon, and many people said it was the best they have ever had! The staff was so nice and attentive to the bridal party throughout the day, bringing us drinks and food as we took pictures and constantly telling us how much fun they were having, too! I highly recommend Creative Catering for great food and staff who make you feel important on your special day.

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!

Excellent!

My name is Cynthia. I am the bride's mother, and this is a review of the amazing team of vendors who helped me execute the vision for my daughter's wedding.

It all started close to two years ago when my daughter Madison called me to tell me she had just gotten engaged. Around two months later, she created her Pinterest board and showed it to me, and just like that... that was my queue!

I was a wedding planner so I know how much work and planning a wedding takes. I called Madison and told her we would start interviewing vendors immediately. She asked if it was too soon and my answer was no! Weddings take about a year to a year and a half to plan. At the time Madison was a full-time employee and studying to get her Master's degree, so she was very limited in all of the planning, her main focus was finishing school before the wedding.

Living in a different state, I depended on the internet, reviews, and calling each vendor to get a feel for how they responded to me and my views. This wedding was going to be a very organic yet elegant vegan wedding. My daughter had given me her vision and it was up to me to bring it to life.

After many over-the-phone interviews, the vendors we chose were the perfect fit, the perfect DREAM TEAM! They all knew I lived in Miami and my daughter's wedding was in Virginia, so this would be a little more challenging for all of us.

We booked the following vendors, and every vendor will get a 5-star review from us:

I flew to VA to accompany Madison and Nikko to visit all of them.

VENUE: The Hermitage Museum and Gardens, Norfolk, Heather couldn't have been more accommodating, she answered all of our questions, took all of our calls, and always had a smile on her face. The venue was EPIC, look at the pictures and you can tell me.

CATERING: Creative Catering, VA, Caitlin, and Cortnee, I began my journey with Caitlin, and this was the best experience as mentioned earlier this was a 100% vegan wedding, and Creative Catering delivered! We booked the tasting and OMG it was crazy good we left wanting more! The Chef met with us, explained everything, took notes, and delivered the best-tasting vegan food ever! Caitlin and Cortnee listened to us, and what we wanted, and made sure we got the full experience, and we did! We are all craving some more!

WEDDING PLANNER: E&E Design Company, Katie and Maegan, these two ladies are nothing short of AMAZING!
They knew I was in the wedding planning business, Katie and Maegan listened, let me run through all my ideas, and then enhanced my vision and made it happen. These two ladies met with me on the day of the wedding at 10:00 AM and did not end until midnight, both of them are such hard workers. Always happy, positive, and very helpful, they are AWESOME!

MUSIC: DJ Karizma, Christopher, this gentleman kept the party going! He made sure everyone was on time and track. Madison and Nikko had a phone conversation with Christopher, they went over the music selection and playlists. It was very successful because everyone at the wedding was dancing and raving about how good the music was! Even Heather from the Hermitage came up to me to tell me how good he was! Christopher is a great entertainer, funny, fun, and awesome DJ!

DESSERT: More Please LLC dba Cinnaholic, Marjorie, was awesome to work with. We met with her for the tasting and immediately knew we had the desserts covered! Cinnaholic is 100% vegan and extremely delicious. Marjorie was so patient with us that we wanted to try all the desserts. The desserts were a big hit, everyone kept going back for more!

ENTERTAINMENT: Big Top Entertainment, VA, Lindsay, I couldn't ask more. We went to the showroom twice and we were met with open arms. BTE worked with us each step of the way until the very last moment. The weather in VA is very unpredictable, so BTE waited until the last moment to help us with heathers and some last-minute changes. They are a great company to work with. Everything looked amazing.

PHOTOGRAPHY: Rilee Jackson Visuals LLC, Rilee, WOW! I was so impressed with her performance. Her work speaks for itself. Her ability to capture the beauty of the moment is everything. Honestly, I can't stop looking at the pictures, they are all EPIC! Rilee, you're such a nice and amazing person!

COFFEE BAR: Cure Coffee, Brooke, exceeded our expectations. 100% vegan coffee bar and the baristas were so nice and kind to all the guests. I loved them, I visited that coffee bar like it was going out of style and they always had my latte ready for me! What fun and success with the guests, it was DELICIOUS!

The fresh flowers and garlands I purchased from Costco and the Flower Market, and the fake flowers from Lings Moments. The Bouquets for the Bride and the three Bridesmaids I created.

This was Madison and Nikko's DREAM WEDDING, and it was all created with lots of love and support. IT WAS EPIC!

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.

Delicious food and presentation! Would Definitely Get Again.

Worked with Kristen and Caitlin at CCVA and they were both great! We booked for the plated dinner service with a couple passed hors-d’oeuvres, 3 meal options as well as an open bar provided by us, with CCVA bartenders. The staff on the day of the wedding were fantastic, extremely efficient, and the food was definitely a hit! SO delicious! We definitely recommend CCVA.
