Wedding Catering Perfection

The very happy Bride here after a fantastic backyard reception. We genuinely cannot say enough great things about working with Suzanne’s for our wedding. Suzanne and her team were amazing throughout the planning process, meeting with us in-person multiple times and providing several tastings with many delicious options. Suzanne's also worked with us through a number of guest allergies. The final menu ultimately offered fantastic gluten free and dairy free options that were big hits among our over 170 guests. On top of that, one guest advised the staff right before dinner of a previously unknown dietary restriction and the cooks were able to whip something up on site. Olivia, Suzanne's Catering Manager, was also extremely helpful with respect to complementary food options, locating necessary ingredients for signature cocktails and the necessary amounts of food and alcohol to have on hand for so many guests. The bartenders and serving staff were professional, considerate, and fully engaged - the entire staff kept to our timelines, followed all instructions, and kept the reception area and all prep areas clean and tidy. We offered passed appetizers that were gobbled up, a dinner buffet with chef stations that was wiped out, a dessert buffet with many yummy options and late night sliders that kept the party going. Among the menu choices, the entrées were delicious, particularly the carving station and the carrot soufflé! Our only miscalculation was that may guests were stuffed when it came time for desert. Not to worry! The next day 140 guests returned for Brunch and devoured all of the deserts that morning. All of 170 guests were very complimentary, and clearly enjoyed all of the food since they ultimately ate everything we offered them. Do not hesitate to book!!!

Everything was great!

The food at my wedding was amazing, and the catering/ wait staff were top notch! We had everything we needed, and everything was gorgeous! Dinner and desserts were fabulous, and the tiny cake they made for us to cut was so beautiful! Above and beyond expectations! They were flexible with all of the last minute changes we had to make regarding COVID restrictions that were implemented ONE WEEK before our wedding.

Great service

We booked this vendor based on our venue, John Marshall Ballrooms. They were in the in-house caterer. They had exceptional service. We had a plated meal and it was Covid friendly and made the night run smoothly. All of our guests enjoyed that aspect, the service, and the quality of food.

The Best Wedding Food & Most Thoughtful Caterer

As the in-house caterer for the John Marshall Ballrooms, I was thrilled to have a Richmond catering legend handle my wedding. They were a breeze to work with, from their clear pricing, amazing offerings, and personalized handling of our menu. Their staff are the best, and they made sure I actually got to eat at my wedding, including sending us home with extra food. There is absolutely nothing that could have made our wedding food and catering experience better.

So incredibly delicious and completely customized!

Taylor the menu options to exactly what my new husband and I really wanted to eat on our big day. They also made a desert specifically for us and what we wanted to share with our gas, and everyone raved about the food! We were extremely satisfied and loved every single bite!

Suzanne is amazing! She catered our wedding at the John Marshall and we had many guests tell us it was the best food they've ever had. Suzanne has a multitude of options and all the food was hot, fresh, and delicious. I highly recommend!

Food was great. Even days after the wedding, people were commenting about how good the food was especially the donut holes and the stuffed chicken. The mac and cheese bar was a major hit. The staff members were very nice and were very good about ensuring that we had food and drink through photos and mingling. All in all, great value, and I highly recommend.
