I cannot begin to tell you how many consultations I had with catering vendors for our wedding on 10.11.24 and even had a horrible experience that halted all of my planning. Taste of Elegance came to the rescue! They were professional, responsive, flexible, understanding, and very affordable for their services. I never knew what actually went into catering services, but they did it! Our friends and family raved over the food. My husband and I actually sat and ATE and had leftovers for a few days. It was absolutely delicious! -

We recently chose Taste for our wedding and we could not be happier! The food choices, the quality, and the price were unmatched. We received so many positive compliments especially on our special lamb lollipop appetizers and we were so thankful! Not to mention all of the delicious desserts! The staff were friendly and responsive to all of our needs. We highly recommend A Taste of Elegance for your next event! -

In addition to having great food and customer service, Taste of Elegance also put our attention on Sweeney Barn (one of only 5 locations that they service) for our wedding reception! The food is very good especially when compared to the price of other catering services in Northern Virginia. I would 100% recommend the coconut shrimp appetizers to anyone using their services. They are very responsive to emails and we had no issues at all. At our reception, we had a buffet, manned pasta station, and full bar. I heard from some of my guests that many people went back for seconds, so we are not alone in thinking the food is great! The bartender brought fun cocktails for me and my husband throughout the evening which was very fun. Per tier recommendation, we purchased our own alcohol so at the end of the night, we left with our leftover alcohol and several pans of food (despite people going up for seconds!) and they also packed 2 plated meals for us. I’m not sure what type of event I might host again in the future, but I would definitely use their services again! -

Taste of Elegance was amazing! The food, the service, and the professionalism were top-notch. I was personally obsessed with their coconut shrimp and mashed potatoes, but my guests are still talking about how good the food was. They provided the linen, plates, glassware, bartenders, and non-alcoholic beverages, making the entire experience seamless. They were amazing to work with, and I highly recommend them to anyone in the area! -

We are so glad we chose Taste of Elegance as our caterer for our wedding. They have plenty of options in regards to the type of catering (plated, buffet, etc.) as well as the types of food. They also let you bring your own alcohol, and they can bring the mixers. The tasting was probably the most fun thing we did in our planning process. They also supply linens, plates, napkins, and utensils, and in an array of colors. We managed to match our wedding colors PERFECTLY. The prices are insanely reasonable for what is provided, as well. Everyone was so professional. You can't go wrong with choosing Taste of Elegance! -

We are so glad that we chose Taste of Elegance to cater our wedding. At both the in-person tasting and the virtual planning meetings, we were impressed by how considerate, flexible, and detail-oriented everyone was. In addition to helping us plan a fun and unique menu, Taste of Elegance also did a great job assisting us with event planning and handling some of our rentals for the meal. On the day of the wedding, their staff was amazing and the food was delicious. We got so many compliments from our guests about how great their dinners were, and the family style service was perfect for the friendly atmosphere we were trying to create. Plus, hiring them meant that we did not become yet another couple who didn’t have a chance to eat at their own wedding–the staff took great care to make sure we got to enjoy everything. -

Taste of Elegance was great for our wedding. They were on the list of recommended vendors for our venue (The Ospreys in Woodbridge, VA). We set up a free tasting at their location in Stafford, which was a great experience. The food was delicious and they worked with us to create a personalized menu. On the day of the wedding, the staff was professional and took care of everything we needed. We really couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and the food was delicious. The price was super reasonable too. We highly recommend Taste of Elegance!! -

We just had our wedding yesterday at Morais Vinyards, and I have to say I am soooooo happy that I chose taste of elegance to cater our wedding. I planned a wedding in Virginia out of state, and they were extremely accommodating to what I needed. I have to add, that the staff that worked the event were exceptional. They fed us and our family when we were taking pictures, and as I waited to walk down the aisle. Absolutely wonderful catering staff and bar tenders. 10/10!! -

Taste of Elegance helped us create a wonderful experience for us & our many guests on our wedding day. Carey was open& helpful throughout the entire experience. She was always prompt in her responses. The food was good, we had the salmon & shrimp as an entree and everyone is still talking about how good the food was. My husband enjoyed it( he is very picky). Her staff took really good care of us on the day of & made sure we had plenty to eat & drink. The wait staff, chef,& Carey were all great! I cant say enough good things. And the price was right, which was even more important to my husband! Thank you again Taste of Elegance -

Sometimes wedding food can be a bit forgettable... BUT NOT HERE! The ladies at taste of elegance were so kind and so helpful and put on an AMAZING meal. My husband and I were thinking of it days after and were sad we only a few items left over. Our guests are STILL raving about it! -

They went above and beyond to do whatever they can to reach satisfactory. When I said I was still worried about something, they made sure they went above and beyond to get me fresh linens and to prep the night before!!! Which is something they’ve never done before and which I will be forever grateful!!
Thank you so much ladies!!!! -

Amazing, outstanding service, professionalism, and attention to detail! Thanks to ToE, our small, outdoor reception was a huge hit and we received compliments about every single dish, bar service, and the wonderful job done by the staff. Carey and Tracy were a joy to work with and made the planning process that much easier. Thank you all so much! -

A Taste of Elegance was beyond amazing to work with. Tracy and Carey were both so responsive and answered any and all of my questions throughout the entire process. The food was delicious and our guests are still talking about how great the food was. The whole staff was extremely professional to work with. If you are looking for a great caterer that is organized, professional and makes great food look no further than a taste of elegance. -

I LOVED having A Taste of Elegance as my wedding caterer. Unfortunately, I’m a COVID bride and had to cancel my initial wedding plans with 6-days’ notice, but ATOE was truly wonderful about working with me to reschedule (twice!) to a new date. They took extra precautions to keep things safe and sanitary. Their tasting was private, informative, and made us feel like family. Choosing their services was an easy decision. We worked with both Tracy and Carey and they were both very knowledgeable about wedding day events, so they shared ideas with us on how to make the day run more smoothly. We received SO many compliments about how great the food was! They have plenty of options for all dietary restrictions. My absolute favorite were the peppadew peppers, the coconut shrimp, and the cucumber flutes all at the cocktail hour! The linens they used really added the extra “sparkle” to make our room beautiful! I also really appreciated them bringing snacks to Bride and Groom and wedding party while we were taking pictures. It made people smile more and feel more relaxed! Would definitely hire them again in the future for other events. -

Tracy and her team were a huge part of making my daughter's wedding truly memorable. They went above and beyond including serving lemonade and spa water to guests prior to the ceremony, serving appetizers to the wedding party during photos so nobody missed out, making sure the bride and groom and parents all were taken care of, table set up was gorgeous, and the leftovers we were able to keep were packaged, labeled and refrigerated, and they cut and served the wedding cake. Our guests all raved over the food and the service. They relieved my stress too! The entire staff was professional and personable. I can't thank you enough Tracy! -

We loved everything about working with A Taste of Elegance. The food was delicious, the staff was incredible, and pricing was reasonable. At our initial meeting we were able to taste a wide variety of their offerings and the room was decorated with some of their table and decor options to show us those as well. During the planning process they were great to work with and very responsive. They were flexible and willing to work with us when we had to change venues and locations unexpectedly and of course when we had to postpone our wedding. On the day of our wedding the staff was professional and attentive and the event ran smoothly. They brought us appetizers and drinks right after the ceremony and served us our dinners at the reception. Our guests raved about the cajun seafood pasta and we loved the mashed potato bar and beef tenderloin! We would definitely recommend them to our friends. -

Sarah Sent on 12/10/2019Such a great value! Amazing food! Great service!
I can say without any hesitation, that I 100% recommend Taste of Elegance for any event--especially a wedding. We'd had a few tastings, but every other vendor seemed to be astronomically high for what we were getting. Taste of Elegance had such competitive pricing, that we had to see if the food was any good. Boy was it!! The wide variety of appetizers and buffet foods we had was incredible--our guests were absolutely raving about the food. So many people came up to us to say how good it was--and how it was literally the best wedding food they've ever had. So.... HUGE WIN!!
We had a few hiccups with our venue (bartenders that the venue hired failed to show up). We were lamenting that if Taste of Elegance had been in charge of the alcohol as well, we would have had NO PROBLEM whatsoever. But the fact that they were so on top of the service for our event really helped ease any stress brought on by the venue's hiccups. I give the food, the service, and the ease of working with this caterer FIVE STARS!
I'm so glad we used Taste of Elegance, and I would use them again in a heartbeat! -

Carey and the Taste of Elegance staff who cared for our reception were all we desired a professional catering and event team to be! We felt like we were their only client when we went for our initial tasting, and we continued to feel that way throughout our planning process. When you're planning for such an important day, you need individuals like Carey by your side; she made sure that there was nothing we needed to be worried about! The mashed potato martini bar, the Tuscan chicken, the creole pasta, everything was good to the last bite! All of our family and friends raved about the food! The only bad thing for us as the bride and groom was that we didn't get to eat as much as we wanted to!! :o) Thank you Carey!! -

I got married at Harbour View 10/10/19
AMAZING is such an understatement with ATOE! Our guest loved every food item on the menu — even the kids!! The mashed potato bar was such a huge hit!! The wait staff was so accommodating to all our guests and they ensured we were fed, had drinks, and cake! They even took food and drinks to our suites!!! We were sooooooo happy with ATOE and they really made this such a smooth process!!! Would highly recommend them to any bride to be! Carey is RESPONSIVE and fantastic!!! If you want to be stress free on the day of the wedding hire ATOE! -

A Taste of Elegance catered my wedding, and they did an AMAZING job! The food was so delicious, but on top of that their staff was very helpful! We had a few last minute changes and additions that our ATE coordinator handled flawlessly. Their servers went out of their way to make sure that my husband and I got a delicious hot meal amidst all the chaos (believe me, getting to eat at one's own wedding is not a guarantee and I'm so happy that they made sure we got to!). I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for delicious food and a professional and extremely helpful catering staff.
