Reviews of Mindy's Catering

Mindy’s Catering was a fantastic choice for our wedding! Mindy’s did everything - bringing in furniture, linens, food, and staff. Because our venue is open to the public until 5pm, they had an hour and a half to set up for both the ceremony and dinner/dancing -- this was done seamlessly.

Our point of contact, Erin, was amazing. She is a true professional and shared many great ideas. Erin was prompt with responses, offered useful suggestions, and knew how to tactfully stear us in a new direction if something wasn’t such a good plan. She was like... our vendor-mom. :o) She was very helpful in day-of coordination. Our satisfaction, and a quality final-product were clearly important to her!

The food was delicious! When creating the menu, Mindy’s offered numerous choices. We had a mac’n’cheese bar, which was a hit with kids and adults alike! Our captain, Chip, was very nice and professional. He brought the groom and me a plate of food to make sure we actually got to eat! We opted to bring our own alcohol and desserts, which Mindy’s graciously accommodated with mixers, bar tenders, and set-up/replenishing of the desserts. They also allowed us to review alcohol quantity with them to ensure we had enough.

Two of our other vendors made a point to let me know what a good experience it was to work with Mindy’s.

Mindy’s catered our friends’ wedding a few years ago, and it was one of our favorite wedding-food experiences. Now that they've catered our wedding, we can say first-hand what a great company they are! 100% recommend.

We worked with Erin from Mindy's catering. She was so helpful. She was easy going but totally engaged. I felt so much calmer about our reception after we met with her. She was flexible and happy to accomodate some of our quirky.requests.

The food was so amazing. Our guests loved it and still talk about it. We had salmon that was still fresh the next night. Everything was beautifully presented and so tasty. I highly recommend them and would use them again on a heartbeat.

My husband and I can highly recommend Mindy's catering! We had a rehearsal dinner for 109 people at Decatur House utilizing the courtyard for a cocktail reception and the carriage house for sit down buffet dinner. Erin White was fabulous in helping me choose the buffet items, appetizers, signature cocktails, and linens! The staff were also extremely professional and helpful. It was a flawless, seamless event and my guests just raved about the food! Buffet items were creative, delicious, and made it still hot to the tables. The linen choices were exhaustive! Everything was just exquisite –I just can't say enough about Mindy's catering service!

Mindy's is, by far, the best food we've ever had. They provided a seated salad, buffet dinner (including filet mignon, pesto stuffed chicken, stuffed shells, and roasted vegetables), and bartending. No one was without a drink, even during cocktail hour when they had an extra server handing out glasses of wine. They even had cucumber water for guests before the ceremony since it was in May. And it was affordable!! Not only that, but Erin, Mindy's coordinator basically acted like our wedding planner. We did the walk through with the venue, and she asked non-stop questions, helped us make the hard decisions, and asked for all the other vendors' name and info so she can contact them in case something happens (we had a grilled cheese food truck and dessert buffet and even though she wasn't providing it, she still went above and beyond to make sure all of our food and drinks went off without a hitch). I seriously couldn't have dreamed of better, above and beyond service paired with the best food I've ever had!!

I am so glad we used Mindy's to cater our wedding. We had a fall wedding at the Barns at Wolf Trap, and wanted a simple and rustic feel. Erin was able to create a wonderful hearty fall menu for us, and provided delicious pies for a pie bar. Our guests absolutely loved the food, as did we! Erin was also very responsive and paid close attention to details, and her judgement in terms of what would work for our venue was really valuable. In addition, we had several guests who were vegan, and Erin arranged delicious vegan meals for them. Couldn't be happier with our experience with Mindy's!

Erin White, the event planner, was marvelous in assisting us with our menu selections, rental equipment and overall planning. The event staff, Sean, Germaine, Georgina and Chris could not have been more professional, helpful and delightful. Our whole family was impressed and we will use Mindy's Catering again.

When we first started looking for a wedding caterer, the only two things that we cared about were taste and price. Mindy's catering delivered on both! The food at our wedding was amazing. Even the biggest food critics in our family raved about the food, especially the passed hors d'oeuvres.

In planning the wedding menu, our event coordinator Erin really got to know us as a couple and understood the types of food that we really liked. She developed several different menu options and after a fun tasting, the menu was set. We had deviled eggs, quesadillas, mac & cheese, crab and shrimp cakes, and shredded pork on a corn cake round for appetizers. Dinner was a duo of Asian short ribs and miso salmon. All was a amazing! While I was originally only concerned about taste and price, I soon realized that there were so many more elements to consider when working with a caterer. Erin worked with me through all the details from selecting the right table settings, table linens, and chair cushions, to selecting the right vendor to provide pies for our amazing pie bar (thanks to Livin the Pie Life!!).

I highly recommend Mindy's Catering not just for weddings, but for any event that requires good food, at a fair price, with excellent customer service and attention to detail.

Mindy's catered the rehearsal dinner party we had for our son and his wife and did a wonderful job! It went flawlessly from the first contact to after the party was over. Erin who was our contact was very professional but also very friendly. She had great suggestions and made me feel comfortable and confident that everything would go well. The staff that came the night of the party couldn't have been any better, especially Alvin. They went right to work setting up, they quietly met any needs that arose during the party and had cleaned up my house and were gone 30 minutes after the party ended. The food was delicious! We had many comments from our guests about how wonderful the service and food was. I highly recommend Mindy's to anyone for their wedding, rehearsal or any type of event they may be having.

Mindy's catered my daughter's wedding at the Mexican Cultural Institute ten days ago, and I am still receiving rave reviews from guests saying that the food served was the best they had ever had at a wedding! My daughter and her fiancé were living in Europe prior to the wedding, and Erin White provided a wonderful tasting for them during the brief week when they flew to the U.S. to do all of their planning. Since many of the guests invited to the wedding were from other countries, Erin was very helpful suggesting menu items that would complement the venue and honor the various cultural backgrounds of the guests. The food was absolutely delicious, and the selection of unique beers and wine were perfect. Erin thought of every detail imaginable and made many creative suggestions during the planning process. She was extremely flexible, and the final cost was right on budget. My daughter and her husband said it was an evening they would treasure forever!

The staff at Mindy's provided excellent catering of our daughter's wedding. The food was delicious. We received many compliments from our guests, including statements from several that it was the best food they had ever been served at a wedding! Your staff members were all very efficient and professional. They too received many compliments from our guests for their excellent service, attentiveness and politeness. Erin did an outstanding job of coordinating the event for us, from her response to our first inquiry, through her flexibility and patience as we explored our options, to her personal attention to the details during the reception. We deeply appreciate how she made our event a very enjoyable and memorable evening.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
