We cannot say enough wonderful things about the food, staff, and service at River Valley Catering. From the beginning of the wedding planning process, to the day of details, the staff was 110% responsive to our requests and needs. They are extremely organized and made it easy for us to put complete trust in their service. We received so many compliments from guests the day of the wedding including "best wedding food I have ever had" and "we have been to 7 weddings this summer and this has been the best!" Food came out hot, timely, and service was so professional. We got married at Villa Bellezza Winery and had 6 caterers to choose from...I am so happy we made the decision to go with river valley catering and would absolutely use them again if we had the opportunity. I would recommend them to anyone getting married anywhere, but especially at Villa Bellezza as they are familiar with the kitchen, set-up, and team. I can confidently say river valley played a huge role in the success of our wedding, so THANK YOU!!

So wonderful to work with, and very accommodating to our requests! We couldn't have been happier to have River Valley as our caterer. We were really impressed with how reasonable their pricing was after getting previous quotes from other caterers. And our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food tasted! The Crab Stuffed Salmon and Petite Beef Tenderloin Medallions were major hits.
