Fantastic!!!!!

Best. Food. Ever! We had a brunch buffet and it was amazing 🤩 all of our guests were complimenting how good everything was and how professional the servers were. During our photos after the ceremony, we had servers coming up to us with platters and plates of food from the cocktail hour so we could also eat.

Great caterer!

Carla helped us to plan everything, and created the perfect menu handling different dietary restrictions. My husband and I are both vegan, with a lot of vegetarian friends, and they were able to make our own recipe for vegan ravioli! The food was amazing, and servers were great.

Amazing experience :)

Pumpernickle Pickle recently catered our wedding on my grandparent’s property. They were amazing to work with throughout the whole wedding process. They were responsive, flexible, professional, and organized. The food was amazing and all of our guests loved it! They also created beautiful place settings with unique China that they provide. We are so thankful for the service that they provided and cannot recommend them enough!

Excellent service and yummy food!

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Pumpernickel Pickle catering our intimate wedding. From the very first email, they were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and delightful. We had a few guests with food restrictions and they accommodated them perfectly. We attended a tasting before finalizing our menu and were SO glad we did…it let us taste so many incredible options, we were over the moon excited about the menu we finalized, and we also got to meet the owners who were just absolutely incredible.

The day of service was also unmatched. Every one of our guests raved about the appetizers (the edible corn dip spoons were a favorite!!) and the meals. Everything was exactly as we wanted. Isaac and Maggie served us and they were so incredibly prompt, professional, helpful, and friendly. We did buffet style but they served me and my groom first so we could continue talking with guests and eat. They also packed us the most thoughtful to-go package with huge servings of every dish, sustainable cutlery, and champagne bottles and glasses. My husband and I LOVED it as a late night meal when we finally settled into our hotel for the night.

Any couple considering PP for their special day should absolutely do it. We loved every aspect of our experience and cannot recommend enough.

Thank you, Carla, Sarah, Willie, Isaac, and Maggie for making our day so yummy and perfect!

Epitome of above and beyond

Everyone at Pumpernickle was incredible at making our wedding experience the best it could be. Communication was on point the entire planning process and not one guest had anything but compliments on the food. Set up and break down was all taken care of and they even brought food up to the wedding party while we were taking pictures. They went above and beyond in every sense of the phrase. Thank you all for every ounce of effort you put in for us. Love, Mr. & Mrs. Hunt.

P.s. a couple of our favorites were the chimichuri sauce, THE MUSHROOMS, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, chickem, steak, veggies, the salad (specifically the olives), and the corn muffins! So basically the entire menu.

In Love With Them

Holy cow, I have never been so full in my life. The food was INSANE. Everyone was so excited about it and ate all night! From the first interaction, Pumpernickel Pickle was so sweet and fun to work with, created a personalized and incredible menu, and made us feel so well taken care of. They made the space so beautiful and were just so great! They also made a special plate for one of my guests with restrictions last minute with a smile on their face. A dream to work with.

Great Experience and Great Value!

The search for a caterer for our wedding (approx. 125 guests) was a daunting task, as we didn't want to blow our budget on food but also wanted to have a nice meal. Carla and her team at Pumpernickel Pickle worked diligently with us to customize our menu within our budget. They were very attentive to details, and easy to communicate with. We even had last minute adjustments to our guest count and it wasn't a problem. On the day of, the food was just as amazing as it was during our tasting. The staff were very friendly and helpful during the entire reception (we also had a dessert bar). I would 10/10 recommend Pumpernickel Pickle for your catering needs!

Mouthwatering Food

Pumpernickel Pickle was absolutely amazing. They provided the most amazing menu and all of my guests commented on how wonderful it tasted. The service to the bride and the groom was also astounding. We didnt have to lift a finger for more refills or food.

Awesome caterer!

Pumpernickel Pickle did a fantastic job with the catering for our wedding, and our guests can't stop raving to us about (a) how good the food was and (b) how courteous the staff was at their beck and call. They were a joy to work with, and their twist on traditional food fare was a welcome appreciation in southwest Virginia. There's absolutely nothing we would change about our catering, and we would happily recommend PP to our friends and family!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Pumpernickel Pickle is an excellent catering service for any wedding or event! As a photographer, I've had the chance to taste many of their delicious dishes at a variety of weddings and events, and I have loved everything they make! Another bonus, is that the staff are PHENOMINAL to work with. They are gracious and caring - even towards other vendors. Their staff is always quick to ask if I need anything, espcially water, while I am working. Can't speak more highly of this great catering service & team~*
