Amazing and More Amazing


If there was a Ten Star review, Jeffrey and his team would get it. If you're planning a wedding and you don't use Federal City you're missing out. The food was beyond amazing, the tasting was a blast and their customer service is top notch! It's hard to put it all into words but on my special day they made everything perfect! Thank you once again Jeffrey and if ever I can find a way to cater something, you are the first and last call I'll make.

Amazing food and wonderful staff and service!

We hired Federal City Catering for our wedding at The Loft at 600F in Washington, DC. We had a buffet style dinner, hors d'oeuvres, deserts, and an open bar. There were plenty of options available for our menu, and Cheryl was easy to work with and flexible when we changed our selections. They also helped setup and cleanup the night of the wedding. Everybody raved about how wonderful all of the food was. There were more staff than we were even expecting, and they helped serve our guests drinks and appetizers despite it being a buffet style dinner. Every single piece of food was amazing. There was more than enough food available for everyone to get as much as they wanted. We also used them for bartending, and they were able to serve a couple of signature drinks we came up with a few nights before the wedding. Cheryl was able to make some last minute changes the day before the wedding that put our minds at ease. Great team, excellent food, wonderful service. Would highly recommend them!

One-of-a-Kind Wedding Food

We had the pleasure of having our wedding catered by Jeff and his team on June 23, 2018. Our venue (Rock Creek Mansion in Bethesda) was only able to accommodate a buffet and boy did Federal City blow us and our guests away. It's been nearly 6 months since our wedding and guests are STILL telling my husband and I about how amazing our wedding food was for them! The tasting was out of the world. The chefs are so talented and provided such an assortment that made it difficult to choose our favorites. The cake and variety of desserts was well received by guests. We also rented our linens, chairs, and glassware from Federal City. Jeff was great about picking out linens and glassware that complimented my wedding's colors. My wedding coordinator and the venue coordinator also complimented how gracious Jeff and his staff were at our wedding. I would HIGHLY recommend Federal City Caterers for your wedding! Thank you guys!
