Chelsea and her East Beach Catering team were FANTASTIC! First the food was amazing and presented beautifully. Many of our guests commented on how perfectly the food was cooked. The appetizers were a big hit! I hired Chelsea as a wedding coordinator with only a month or two left till the big day. She went above and beyond, understood my vision to a tee, and really helped tie everything together. The wedding was a blast thanks to Chelsea and her team.

We can’t say enough good things about east beach. Highly highly recommend. Our tasting was beyond delicious. My mom could not make the tasting last minute due to a family emergency and they even packed a few things up so that my mom could be a part of the tasting later. Day of our wedding our food still tasted just as good as it had in our tasting. All of our guests were just raving about the food. My brother is getting married later this year and they plan to use them as well. Looking forward to delicious wedding food all over again.

As the bride and groom, we wanted to create a truly unforgettable environment for our big day as we’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! We were fortunate enough to receive a recommendation from our wedding venue, Norfolk Botanical Gardens, for an incredibly talented catering team, East Beach Catering, who exceeded our every expectation! We interacted with a few different team members from the East Beach Catering, and what struck us most about their team was their ability to capture, transform and bring to life the ideas we had for the vision of our wedding palette without missing a beat. Their attention to detail and artistic eye brought out the smallest, most tender moments that may have otherwise been overlooked. We received so many compliments about the quality of food and service provided by the East Beach Catering team! It’s 52 days later and our guests haven’t stopped raving about the delicious food they received!
Chelsea and her team are not only masters in creation, but they are also true professionals. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made every small detail look perfect. The level of communication provided by the East Beach Catering team is impeccable as they were always willing to answer a text, email or call whenever we had a question, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. They even went above and beyond to assist us in providing a full alcohol shopping list (even when we chose not to use their bar services to save money). They were also true champions to set up (and move from one location to another in between events) many different catering options throughout an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia! During our tasting, the East Beach Catering team provided many different ideas and suggestions to make sure we could bring our vision to life in the best and most efficient way possible while staying within budget. They were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) during the tasting and were more concerned with making everything 100% perfect for our big day. They asked an abundance of great questions throughout the process to get a feel for what were our absolute “must haves” and even suggested some things we hadn’t thought of. They took great caution to note allergies and food preferences for guests and even ran some of our favorite cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres to us while we were in a separate location working on getting additional bride and groom portraits.
Working with Chelsea and her team has been an absolute pleasure from first contact until the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of wedding catering! We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary tasty wedding sweets! - The Canavoses

We hired East Beach Catering to provide dinner, dessert, and bar services for our wedding. Chelsea was extremely accommodating and helpful. She worked with us to provide a very customized proposal and the prices were quite reasonable. The food was also of the quality and taste of what you would find at a very high scale restaurant. I highly recommend Each Beach Catering for your event!

Wedding on July 13th, 2024 at Norfolk Botanical Garden

East Beach Catering is hands one of the best catering companies! I can’t tell you how many people complimented our food on our special day and well after.
My husband I worked with Chelsea from the beginning. She is so sweet and took great care of us. I will 100% be using them again for any future event!
The staff was amazing. My brother and his girlfriend actually ended up needing a ride home and as they were talking about what they were going to do, one of the wait staff overheard and gave them a ride home! Top notch right there!!!

We hired Chelsea and the East Beach Catering team for our daughters outdoor wedding in late October and could not be more pleased with the entire experience. From the initial tasting throughout the process of selecting rentals and finalizing menus Chelsea was helpful, accommodating, responsive and just a complete pleasure to work with. Contract terms were fair and reasonable with no hidden or excess costs. The food at our event was hot and delicious and we received many compliments from our guests. We will definitely be using the East Beach team again in the future!

East Beach Catering is AMAZING!. The guests at my daughters wedding were blown away. I’m still hearing from my guests about how great the appetizers and dinner tasted. It was presented so beautifully. Chelsea is very creative. You can sense she enjoys what she’s does and it reflected in the outcome of the wedding. She made me feel at ease through the whole process of planning the wedding and she was a wealth of information. She’s excellent with communication and kept me on track.. East Beach is full service catering. The entire staff was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend East Beach Catering. I promise you’ll be so happy with their services. So much more than Catering!

My daughter and her fiancé had a good idea of what they wanted for their menu but we took a few suggestions and WOW! Chelsea, Amy and team outdid themselves from the handling of the contract, tasting and finally the reception. Amy checked in with me regularly during the reception when we started changing the agenda. It was all so seamless.
I want to specifically shoutout some of the food that people kept commenting on. The crab cakes were not filler but CRAB! The beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly to suit everyone and the Parmesan encrusted chicken was so tasty and not typical ‘dry’ wedding chicken. Almost everyone I spoke to mentioned the mashed potatoes…please don’t skip this on your menu, they’re amazing!
We are so thankful for everything East Beach Catering did for us. Thank you, thank you!!

My husband and I wanted to serve dishes from both of our cultures- Peruvian and US Southern- in the wedding. East Beach Catering was able to do that and more! They created a buffet menu that included specific Peruvian and American dishes we wanted, as well as some of their most popular dishes. We were able to have Peruvian dishes during cocktail hour and in the main menu. It was awesome! They were also open to any changes we had during the food tasting. We got so many compliments about the food!
East Beach Catering’s staff was also fantastic. Cathy and Chelsea’s team was super professional, helpful, and attentive throughout the planning process and the wedding. I would absolutely recommend them for your wedding.

From the tasting to setting up a layout to the food the day off, East Beach was perfect for my wedding! Chelsea and her team were so kind to my family and friends and our buffet table was beautiful in addition to taste of food was top tier.
