One of the best choices we made for our wedding

We chose RSVP as our caterer after receiving sample menus from at least 5 other local caterers, and attending 2 other tastings. RSVP stood out to us as the perfect combination of excellent quality food, unique presentation, and reasonable price. We were especially grateful to have chosen RSVP after Covid hit and we were forced to downsize our wedding from our original indoor wedding venue with 180 guests to a small backyard tented wedding of 40 guests. RSVP (Maura in particular) could not have been more accommodating, even though the change meant that the contract value was less than half of what was originally expected. Maura personally visited our home twice before the wedding day to make sure everything would run smoothly, and was there on the wedding day overseeing everything. RSVP provided beautiful tableware to fit our backyard "rustic chic" vibe, including long tables, wicker chargers, and gold flatware, and were so patient in allowing us to make changes to these selections along the way. On the day of, there was heavy rain throughout our wedding, but the RSVP service staff and bartenders were incredibly professional and flexible in working in the rain and mud under challenging conditions. We also really appreciated how Maura and RSVP were willing to incorporate all Covid safety precautions we requested, including a Plexiglass shield at the bar, face shields for staff, drink covers, and gloves. Our guests raved about how professional the staff were and how good the food was (despite being prepared in our house!). We are so grateful to have chosen RSVP for our wedding and encourage you to do so, too. (And make sure to order the everything bagel macarons - a highlight!!)

Wonderful from start to finish!

I can gush for days how wonderful RSVP was to work with for our wedding catering. From the beginning speaking with Casey on the big picture, to working on the small details with Alexandra, the duo was a delight to work with through it all. You know that Alexandra must work on over a hundred weddings throughout the year, but when it’s your turn (whether for the tasting, pre-wedding coordination, or day-of), she gives you her total attention and dedication, making your event feel like the most important.

Compliments must go to the chef for stunning food, to the servers who worked tirelessly to serve our plated dinner in a small intimate space (without much room to maneuver!), bartender keeping up with our guests’ drinking needs, and Alexandra/Select for making it beautiful. Every person we came by that worked with RSVP was kind, friendly, and wanted to do a great job. It was felt in every moment of our wedding.

Our guests are still raving about the food!

We cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding catering experience. Our guests are still raving about the food—especially the peach-glazed short rib, saffron rice, chili-glazed tofu and noodles, and of course the s’mores pops! The spiked lychee lemonade and hot chocolate were huge hits as well. One of my biggest priorities for our wedding was having food that people would remember, and they absolutely delivered. Everything was flavorful, beautifully presented, and exceeded every expectation we had.

Working with Sarah and Gabrielle was such a pleasure from start to finish. From our initial meetings to the private tastings and even selecting our rentals for the guest tables and dinnerware, the whole process was smooth, fun, and incredibly thoughtful. They were attentive, organized, and genuinely invested in helping us create an unforgettable dining experience for our guests.

We truly couldn’t recommend them more—every penny was worth it, and we are so grateful for the care and excellence they brought to our day.

Fantastic Wedding Catering

RSVP Catering was the perfect caterer! Our wedding venue recommended RSVP and we found that it was competitively priced for the area. They were a breeze to coordinate with - Alexandra and Casey were always prompt, professional, and friendly. RSVP has many menu options, making it easy to accommodate any dietary restrictions. Based on the tasting, we were able to tweak the preparation of some dishes which we really appreciated! We were initially nervous for the rentals appointment with Select Event Group - their rental partner - because we didn't have a strong idea going in for what we wanted to pick. However, they walked us through all the options, answered our many questions, and didn't rush our live decision-making at all. RSVP had worked with our planners and venue before so their coordination was seamless. On the day, RSVP went above and beyond! We missed cocktail hour due to family portraits and when we went to change before our entrance, the head server ensured that we had drinks and appetizers brought to the room, which we greatly appreciated since we hadn't eaten much up to that point. The serving itself was stunningly coordinated and a couple requests made by my parents were immediately executed. One of my biggest concerns was ensuring that guests with allergies had no issues and RSVP had that well under control. The food itself was delicious and many guests raved about it after the wedding. We can't recommend Alexandra and RSVP Catering enough!

Superb catering for wedding!

Parents of the bride here... Couple chose RSVP, and we couldn't have been happier with their catering. The tasting was professional and individual. The actual wedding hors d'oeuvres and meals were superb. But the meal service was exceptional. Everyone's food arrived at each table at the same time and was still hot! The server management was seamless and professional. Really couldn't have been better.

Excellent wedding caterers

Choosing to hire RSVP to cater our wedding was a fantastic decision. The quality of the food, staff and overall experience was top notch and exceeded our expectations. We hosted 165 people at Stone Tower Winery in May, and the food/drink/service experience was very important to us. The food turned out even better than we both ever could have imagined. 2 months later and our guests still can’t stop talking about it! I’m personally still dreaming of the short ribs. The team knew the venue well which helped with execution. There were many moving parts – passed hors d’oeuvres, bar service, a plated meal, table-side wine service, toasts, dessert, cake cutting -- and they delivered seamlessly. All members of staff were kind and attentive. Throughout the wedding planning process, Casey and her team were super helpful, hands-on and flexible. They helped us to build the perfect menu that met our/our guests needs and to make tweaks along the way. It also made it easy that they partnered with Select Event Group for rentals, of which they had a small showroom on-site. During our tasting we were able to test out various linens/glassware/dishware and visualizing it helped us land on our perfect tablescape. We worked with RSVP for a year and a half, from across the country, and they made it a breeze and really enjoyable. I highly recommend hiring them to cater your wedding!

Champagne & Cupcake Reception

We did a micro wedding at a historic venue that did not allow dark liquids. RSVP had the perfect solution, allowing us to do a simple champagne reception with cupcake towers. They even added fresh Berry options for the flutes and the guests are still raving about their delicious cupcakes!

Outstanding Catering Experience

Our experience with RSVP Caterers for our wedding was nothing short of exceptional! The entire team, particularly Casey, was incredibly professional and knowledgeable about our wedding venue, ensuring a seamless experience for us and our guests.
The variety and quality of the food options were outstanding, with a diverse range of delicious choices that catered to all tastes and dietary needs. We especially appreciated their flexibility in allowing us to switch out desserts for a late-night food option, which was a huge hit among our guests!
Working with Casey and the RSVP Caterers team was an absolute pleasure, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're planning a wedding or any other event, RSVP Caterers will definitely take care of you!

Spectacular

RSVP Catering was wonderful to work with! We selected them because we loved everything we tasted at our first tasting, but also because they made a good first impression during our initial call. It’s evident that the team members are very experienced, while also very personable and easy to work with. There are a few members of RSVP who were looped in on every email communication, which meant that at any given time there was at least one member of the team available to us. We worked primarily with Alexandra throughout our tastings, but communicated a lot with Natalie via email and communicated occasionally with Casey as well. Each of them was very professional and helpful. They are also very flexible, for example they were willing to serve outside food if we wanted to bring in our own dessert or late night snack. We loved absolutely everything we tasted during our tastings and couldn’t be happier with how the food turned out on the wedding day. The entire staff was very professional on the wedding day. They made sure there were hors d’oeuvres and drinks delivered to us throughout the cocktail hour and reception. We ended up having RSVP make our wedding cake as well, which turned out delicious and looked simple and elegant. To top it off we went home with leftovers due to a few last minute cancellations, so we got to continue to enjoy the food and our cake at home. I would highly recommend RSVP Catering for any wedding or event!

To say that Casey and her Team were remarkable, would be a gross understatement!! From the time I initially reached out, RSVP Catering was always prompt in their responses. They easily worked with me on developing the menu, and its details, so that the Client’s wedding was executed exactly as envisioned. The food was deliciously and genuinely crafted with precision, and the guests were always craving more! Throughout the day of, Casey, the Chef, and the Supervisor kept me informed, and were beyond pleasant and professional at all times. If you’re in need of a caterer, RSVP Catering should be YOUR number one and only call!!

Blue Valley Vineyard and Winery Blue Valley Vineyard and Winery Winery Weddings

RSVP has been catering for Blue Valley Vineyard and Winery for the past two years. They offer excellent food, style and service. They are on Blue Valley's "Approved Vendor List" for many reason's although I think one of their biggest assets is the fact that they bring their own planner along to ensure they meet, or usually exceed, their clients expectations and to ensure their event run smoothly. I love having Abbey and Marsha apart of the Blue Valley team, they are amazing to work and their service is impeccable. They are one of the best!!

Birkby House Birkby House Mansion Weddings

Marsha Meltzer has done most of the weddings for RSVP. If you are a "foodie", you must attend one of the open houses. Everything from the hors d'oeuvres to the desserts are not just tantalizing to the taste buds but presented with the upmost flair. Marsha will be a wonderful help to any bride with designing every detail of your table settings and food displays.
