We had an amazing experience working with Zesty Gourmet for our wedding! Leanne and Erika were our main points of contact throughout the planning process, and they were both incredibly kind, responsive, and wonderful to work with.

We first discovered Zesty Gourmet through one of their open house events, where we had the opportunity to try their food before booking. We were absolutely blown away by everything we tasted, which gave us so much confidence in choosing them to cater our wedding.

Throughout the planning process, Leanne and Erika were diligent about communicating with us and coordinating all of the details, from our menu selections to our additional rentals. We also had a walkthrough at our venue, where they thoughtfully went through the logistics and asked detailed questions to make sure everything would be executed exactly as we envisioned.

On our wedding day, Zesty Gourmet did an incredible job. The food was delicious, and our guests especially loved the passed appetizers and charcuterie! The service was also excellent, and everything felt seamless and well-organized.

We are so grateful to Leanne, Erika, and the entire Zesty Gourmet team for helping make our wedding so special. The food, service, and overall experience were wonderful, and we would absolutely recommend Zesty Gourmet to anyone planning a wedding in Northern Virginia.

We were absolutely thrilled with gourmet food and superb service from Zesty Gourmet, who were the in-house caterer for our fall wedding at The Manor at Airmont. Sometimes wedding food is unmemorable, but that is definitely not this case with Zesty Gourmet! To this day, we have guests compliment the wonderful dinner. The salmon dinner was excellent, our personal favorite! The flavor combinations are creative and delicious and not your typical “wedding food”. Also, the portions are very generous, so your guest will not go hungry. We had the added bonus of having our wedding at The Manor at Airmont, so we were able to see the chef grilling outdoors on-site while we were getting ready for our big day. From the drinks, appetizers and charcuterie board, to dinner, to late night bites, everything was truly gourmet. John Homan and Leanne Homan are wonderful people who have a passion for what they do. Thank you for making our wedding food memorable!

We can’t say enough great things about Zesty Gourmet. Firstly, we did not hire a wedding coordinator, and Leanne was the most helpful resource we had! She helped walk us through so many parts of the day and made sure we had everything we needed – like glassware, tables, and day-of set-up. Due to weather, we ended up switching cocktail hour and the ceremony 30 minutes before start time, and chef John was up to the challenge! Guests loved all of our hors d’eouvres and the main courses! Many said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We also hired the Zesty bartenders to serve drinks, and they made great decisions with some of our rowdy guests.

Zesty Gourmet was exceptional. We had a diverse menu and a lot of special requests which were met with extraordinary care. Their food is wonderful. Cannot recommend them enough!

Zesty Gourmet is next-level service. We used them for our wedding and were truly blown away by the quality of food, service, professionalism, family feel, creativity, and attention to detail. I'm a vegan and my husband is not but this was absolutely no big deal for them. They accommodated every dietary restriction with ease. All of the vegan options were absolutely amazing and equally as delicious as all of the non-vegan food. The staff is beyond kind and made our guests feel so at home at our wedding through the dining experience. They brought our family-style Italian-inspired dining dreams to life in ways we didn't think were possible. I would HIGHLY recommend using them for your next event!!

Wow! The Zesty Gourmet team goes above and beyond to deliver the most exceptional food experience during your special day / event.

First off, my family and I are a NIGHTMARE when it comes to food restrictions. We have felt many times that we've been too difficult to accommodate throughout the years; however, that was NOT our experience with Zesty Gourmet whatsoever. They didn't bat an eye at our tricky food allergies, but instead made us feel assured and confident that we'd be taken care of.

Not only was the food amazing, but the presentation and service were as well. We've had multiple tastings with Zesty after planning two different family weddings with them and cannot recommend them enough. All of our friends and family have raved over their love of the food at both weddings, too.

Thank you, Chef John and sous Chef Leanne - we love you and feel like family!

I had such an amazing experience with Zesty Gourmet! I planned a small wedding within a few months and Leanne was very helpful and great to work with. We got a tasting experience when we booked and it was wonderful, everything was delicious. Our dinner on our wedding day was also delicious, all my guests made good comments. They were also kind enough to arrange special meals for kids and a vegetarian guest. The staff was so kind and helpful, great attitudes, even helped me put up decor in high places. I would recommend their services for any event, and I’d happily book them for future events I plan!

We used Zesty Gourmet as our wedding caterer at The Manor at Airmont. This was the preferred caterer for the wedding venue, and we signed the contract immediately after the tasting session (literally check in hand and ready for a wet signature so we wouldn't lose them). In fact, it was so good we added on a rehearsal dinner just so we could have the full experience. We loved it so much we've been to a few pop up events just to eat their food again.

My vignette on how I wanted steak at my dream wedding: Initially, I was worried about finding a good caterer. I personally LOVE steak and wanted to eat it at my dream wedding. I usually avoid eating steak or meat at restaurants because I've had too many bad experiences. However, the chef here will deliver the most amazing food, and it is evident in their cooking.

Even if you aren't into steak, everything else on their menu is just as amazing. Prior to finding this caterer, my husband and I had talked to a few other caterers companies that were boring in comparison. With Zesty Gourmet, my husband and I had the hardest time narrowing down our options because everything was so amazing. Hence, we added the rehearsal dinner, late-night after wedding bites, and attended other pop-up events. Highly recommend adding late-night bites because people always get hungry after dancing all night long.

My husband and I loved that we were able to find a caterer who could help blend our families through food. I'm Korean and my husband's family is primarily Italian. Zesty Gourmet was able to deliver food to satisfy both sides of the family.

Lastly, my husband and I loved that we were able to support a local and family-owned business.

It was great to have so many options to chose from and the venue offered a free tasting. Unique to offer asian options which were fabulous.

I can't say enough good things about Zesty Gourmet! Leanne and her team are very professional and could not be nicer. They were able to make wonderful meals even with the many restrictions our venue had. The huge charcuterie board was a big talking point at our wedding and how everything they presented was gorgeous!! Leanne worked with us to find a time we could come in for the tasting since we live across the country. Let me just say, that was our favorite part of wedding planning! Everything they make is mouth watering, so it was hard to choose our wedding day menu (a GREAT problem to have!). The bartenders and waiters provided top notch service and they moved very quickly to serve all of our guests. I am so impressed with their team and will be recommending them to everyone! *note: the only picture of the food our photographers took was of the salad, all other pictures are from the tasting*
