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!!)

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!

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!

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.
