The food & Service

We both loved working with Jenny and her staff. The food was amazing and all our guest were very happy with the choices we picked. Jenny was so sweet and very accommodating with us and made wedding planning easy! There were no issues with anything and I would recommend her to anyone! I loved our wedding and I am so glad we had her to be a part of the wedding day. I really also appreciate her staff taking care of my mom and making sure she was drinking enough water all night! I was not stress all day or night!

Thanks again Jenny!

Incredible!!

We used full circle catering for our wedding and Jenny and her staff were amazing! Jenny was very personable and fun to work with! We did not hire a wedding planner and she picked up a lot of the organizational and day-of details that we needed help with so that we felt no stress! Her food was incredible and everyone told me how much they loved it. She also helped us setup our cake and decorate it which was dropped off by a different vendor. Highly recommend!

Excellent Service

Jenny and her team were amazing. They rolled with the punches even though things didn't go as planned and were ready to serve 30 minutes prior to the scheduled time. I'm so grateful that they were so professionals and seemingly unflappable.

Great Experience!

Jenny and Full Circle Catering were absolutely wonderful to work with for our December 2022 wedding at Big Spring Farm! She was so patient with me as I had many questions. The food was absolutely delicious! A big highlight was our desserts; we did not want a traditional wedding cake, so we got mini pies that were a HIT! Thank you Jenny and your team!

Wonderful Catering Experience

I highly recommend Jenny and Full Circle Catering. Jenny was great to work with from start to finish – very responsive and flexible for the various dietary requirements for our guests. She helped guide us to menu options that were delicious and worked for gluten-free, vegan and nut-free guests. Everyone truly enjoyed the food, and everything was artfully presented and arranged. Jenny helped us get all the rentals we needed, and made sure all details were considered. The staff was very friendly and efficient, and we are all impressed with the service from start to finish.

Outstanding food and service!

The best wedding decision we made was choosing Jenny and her team as our catering staff! We had to reschedule our wedding twice during the pandemic, and Jenny was always flexible with us. It has now been 2 months since the wedding , and we STILL have people compliment the incredible food and service! Jenny made us feel special and taken care of. The set up was beautiful and she even provided a picnic for just the two of us at the end of the night. We can't thank you enough, Full Circle!

Exceeded expectations

We decided to hire Full Circle based on their commitment to locally sourced food. We were planning our wedding remotely and didn't have a chance sample any food in advance, so I was a bit nervous about how things would turn out. I couldn't imagine a better wedding dinner! Jenny was very flexible and responsive throughout the process. The food was beautifully prepared and delicious. All of my guests were happy, and people were still talking about how great the food was days later! I would love to hire Full Circle again in the future!

Terrific Caterer for a Wedding!!!!

We used Full Circle Catering for a destination wedding in Clifton Forge, VA. The menu selection was excellent for both the cocktail hour and the buffet dinner. The food was terrific and we were very pleased with the professionalism of the entire staff. In addition, the company also arranged all the rental requirements for the wedding. We would highly recommend this catering company to any couple looking for a terrific caterer in the Lexington, VA and surrounding area!

Perfect Experience

I HIGHLY recommend Full Circle Catering. Start to finish it was perfect. From our personalized menu to the presentation, it was amazing. The staff was very professional and friendly during the entire wedding reception. And last, but certainly not least, the food was of exceptional quality and DELICIOUS! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres and the great comments kept coming with our dinner selections. An all around great experience.
