The Wright People
About
The Wright People is a Washington, DC-based business that offers staffing, event management, and planning/consulting services for wedding catering. Owner Rick Wright founded this enterprise in October 1996 with a single goal: to offer high-end staffing for caterers and venues. Soon he was getting requests from private clients for staff for their events where caterers weren't being used, rather the client was providing the food. From there it grew to the point where most of TWP's business is private clients with a large percentage being weddings. Joined by his daughter Tara Wright and a seasoned team, Rick offers services in the Baltimore and Washington metropolitan areas.
