The absolute best!

Paris Catering made the day incredible! They were so easy to work with throughout the whole process, and our guests are still talking about how good the food was over a week later. They’re the absolute best!

A Beautiful Wedding Reception

Paris Caterers catered my wedding reception in 2000 in Washington, DC. While I maybe a bit late in making this review, all I can say is that William and Rebecca de Paris were professional, personable and gracious. From our initial meeting, to the tasting, planning and execution on the wedding day, we were pleased with everything. They went out of their way to see that we had the joyous and memorable wedding reception. Our guests were absolutely pleased with the cocktail hour and sit down dinner. We still look at our pictures, 22 years later and praise Paris Caterers.

We had a wonderful experience working with Rebecca and Paris Catering. Rebecca and her company were familiar with our venue, and all of the coordination and execution on the day of our wedding couldn’t have been better. We met with Rebecca in person twice before the wedding, and another member of her company (Jeffrey) came to the venue on another occasion for a walkthrough to ensure that everything proceeded smoothly (and took our preferences into account) on our wedding day. And her food was absolutely delicious. The tasting we had at Paris Catering was by far the best we had during the catering selection process, and it was so comforting to know that our guests would enjoy the food at the event. (We received so many compliments!) We settled on the final tablecloth and dish combination close to our wedding date, and Rebecca worked hard on our behalf to make sure that our vision became a reality. As for the reception, Rebecca, Jeffrey, and the rest of the Paris Catering staff couldn’t have been more professional or helpful throughout the evening—thank you to everyone who was involved. We can’t recommend Paris Catering highly enough.

Paris Caterers is simply the best that there is. I have worked with Rebecca and William in the past on my corporate events, and they were the very first call I made after I got engaged. My fiance and I never entertained hiring anyone else. The level of personal attention that we received was incredible - creating a custom menu, a beautiful tasting for our entire family, selection of special linens and china and working to make everything exactly as I envisioned within the space. I will be forever grateful to Rebecca for creating the best day for us.
Paris offers both high quality of food and drink, and high quality of customer service. They are simply the best there is.

We hosted an outdoor ceremony, cocktail reception and seated, formal dinner for over 200 guests. Paris Caterer's food was beautiful and delicious and the service was flawless. Owner Rebecca de Paris was unfailingly gracious and accomodating as was her wonderful staff. Our venue was a difficult one - a private home not designed for outdoor entertaining of this magnitude and formality - but Paris Caterers coped with every challenge and produced a lovely, and truly memorable event. We have hosted numerous events in the past, but we have never had a better experience.

Paris Caterers is first in class -- I knew there was no one else to cater our wedding. Rebecca and her staff are creative, thoughtful, warm and truly care about excellence in customer service. I brought Rebecca a shell or basic outline for what we wanted in terms of food for the evening, and she took it and ran and made it a meal to remember, start to finish. Our guests are still raving about the uniqueness of the menu and the quality of the food.

Our wedding was Paris' first time at the venue, but you'd think they were old pros. Everything went off without a hitch. They made me feel like I was the most important person in the world, if only for a few hours. Can't say enough great things about Paris Caterers.

We could not have been happier with the service that Paris Caterer's provided us for our wedding. My husband's family is Iranian, and we had decided to have a Persian buffet at our reception. The food was INCREDIBLE!! All the Iranian guests kept asking us who the chef was, and were all shocked when they found out that the chefs were not Iranian since the food was SO good! Rebecca and her staff were very responsive to the feedback of my husband and his mother during our tasting before the wedding, so all the food was exactly how we wanted it.

Paris Caterers also provided all the tables, linens, plates, etc. Everything was beautiful and set up on time without any problems. The waitstaff during the reception were very helpful, pleasant, and professional. Additionally, Rebecca was very helpful leading up to the wedding, answering all my random questions about wedding planning, even questions not directly related to catering. She was unfailingly nice and listened to all of our concerns. Things could not have gone better. I would recommend Paris Caterers to anyone, but especially couples looking to have ethnic food at their wedding.

Rebecca, Meghan and the staff at Paris Caterers catered my wedding in August 2008. Of all the vendors we worked with, I was most thrilled with my experience with Paris Caterers and would readily hire them for any future event. They were more than accommodating of dietary needs, food requests, special touches, decor ideas, etc. The tasting was wonderful, their adjustments based on the tasting were perfect, and execution the day of the wedding was excellent. They took great care of my husband and I in addition to every detail of the 200+ person event. In addition, they were understanding and willing to work with us within our limited budget to provide more that we had even hoped for. I can honestly say that I would give the highest rating possible in every category to this company, without reserve. Thank you Rebecca, Meghan and everyone else at Paris Caterers! We hope to have an opportunity to work with you again - Mollie & Steve M.

I would highly recommend Paris Caterers to anyone looking for a caterer for an upcoming event. I used them for my wedding in April 2009 and they paid attention to every last detail to ensure the bridal party and guests were completely comfortable. During the planning process, they were very responsive to any and all questions I had. I appreciated their focus on details and willingness to accomodate all my requests, as it made the planning process very easy! The food and service were great. I got many compliments on how good everything was, and my husband and I certainly enjoyed eating the leftovers!

They were reasonably priced, and were very accomodating and responsive during the planning process up to the wedding day. I give them 5 stars across the board!

Paris Caterers catered my wedding as well as my brothers wedding. Both times the food and the service were exceptional! The food went above and beyond our expectations. We had hors oeuvres passed around during the cocktail hour and everyone was going crazy, our guests would follow the waiters around for more. The prices were very reasonable, and the quality of the food was that of a five star restaurant. THe presentation of the food was memorable and we still get compliments months later from our guests. DON"T GO WITH ANY OTHER CATERER... PARIS CATERERS IS THE BEST!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
