Fabulous!! If I could give them 100 stars I would.

I have been hosting weddings for over 43 years. I have worked with countless catering companies. Garnish was literally one of the very best. Nicole was the point person and she was a superstar - polite, sweet, professional, a great communicator. I would welcome Nicole and her team to my wedding venue, The Apple Blossom Inn, every day of the week. Thank you to Nicole, Mallory (Nicoles very sweet sister), Drew, Nick, Chris and Chris (a Philly Eagles fan - extra star for him). You made my bride and groom over the moon happy.

Best possible experience - amazing catering

Caleb and the team at Garnish RVA were absolutely incredible. We got married in Luray in July 2021, and we liked working with Garnish so much we asked them to cater both our rehearsal dinner *and* the wedding, so experienced their service twice, and would recommend them to anyone.

Every catering service we talked to before them just tried to make us pick from a standard menu. Caleb was the first caterer to actually sit down with us and listen to what we wanted, and then created an amazing menu based on our input. The whole team was responsive, thoughtful, timely on the wedding day and great with our guests.

Also, I work in the events industry myself, and can say that catering will be one of your most important choices. Most caterers take on more lift than any other vendor, and usually step up to help out when something needs to change on the fly. With that in mind, I'd highly recommend Garnish for any event in their service area.

Amazing Food and Service!

Caleb and the entire Garnish team were an absolute delight to work with! They made the whole catering planning process so seamless and stress-free.

Weeks later, our guests are still talking about how unbelievable the hors d'oeuvres were.

On top of the food being DELICIOUS, we were so blown away by their entire operation. Everyone on their team was so kind, efficient, and professional. We would choose to work with them again and again!

Highly recommend.

Everything about the food was beyond amazing! Our trial went so well - full course meals and happy bellys at the end. We even had a few alteration requests after, which they made with no hassle at all. On the day of, they didn't bother us with questions - which was so lovely! They dealt with the alcohol (which we bought and gave to them the night before) setup, pouring and breakdown.

Every guest gushed over the fact that we had a meatball bar - best choice over all!! <3

We looked into many different caterers for our wedding day 07/29/17, but we were so excited when we found Garnish Catering! Louis is amazing! He really got to know us which helped him personalize everything to our style. He was always very responsive and easy going. He answered so many questions for us and gave us much advice from the time we booked him until our big day.

Garnish coordinated between my sister and I for my wedding date, and they were very quick! We had a short time before the wedding and the team really pulled together a wonderful spread! The food was delicious and everyone commented on it! They also provided linens, and worked with us to figure out what would work best. The staff is so professional and are such wonderful people!

Louis and his team are so wonderful. They spent many hours with us planning/providing tastings/arranging the layout of the venue to advising us on the amount of liquor/wine and beer needed. Our daughter's ideas changed a few times but Louis was always the professional and honest in his advice. The food was fabulous and the venue awesome. We would definitely use Garnish again without any hesitation! They made our daughter's wedding reception an event to remember!

Accommodating and delicious! Worth every penny!

We chose Garnish as our caterer for our wedding in July 2019. I couldn't speak more highly of the service and value that Garnish provided. Our menu was so unique and insanely delicious. We chose to have stations that offered our guests a variety of options which included fish tacos, carved beef tataki, bacon and biscuit pairings, and a salad bar. Caleb was awesome and went above and beyond to meet all of our requests and worked well with our venue to ensure the day went off without a hitch. He even helped us come up with some fun signature cocktails! I would 1000% recommend using Garnish. Our wedding experience would not have been the same without them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
