Ben M. Sent on 12/24/2023The Best Food and Vendor
David was our favorite vendor of our wedding. The food was fantastic, we were looking forward to our meal for months after our tasting and every guest commented on how much they enjoyed the food. Our tasting with David was such an enjoyable experience because he made it stress-free and had so much helpful advice while happily finding ways to meet our vision and ideas to put custom touches on our wedding. We ended up hosting a post-wedding brunch at his property, bluemont vineyard because we loved the food so much. David allowed us to make as many changes in menu, guest count, seating and was communicative about any updates and our questions about the budget. We would pick him happy for any future events and could not imagine our wedding being as fantastic as it was without him and his team. -

Kimberly Sent on 12/24/2022Great Catering!
David at celebrations was a delight to work with! He was very knowledgeable and was very flexible with my hectic schedule (I wouldn't recommend planning a wedding while deployed). All the virtual calls I had with him made me feel more comfortable with using Celebrations as my catering; David even helped me cut costs when I let him know I was looking to try and tighten the budget. Day off, the food was amazing as well as the waitstaff and bartenders. We didn’t opt for a signature drink for the guests, but as the bride I wanted a specialized drink throughout the night, the bartenders were happy to make the drink and they had one ready whenever I wanted a refill! They were so personable and friendly, I would absolutely recommend Celebrations Catering!
As a side note- they also have a venue Whitehall estates that is absolutely beautiful, in retrospect, I wish I had utilized them as my venue.

We had an amazing experience with celebrations catering. David, the owner was very knowledgeable and helped guide us during the planning process. The food at our wedding was incredible! The beef was cooked PERFECTLY. Many of my guests told me throughout the night how delicious their meals were. We had beef, salmon and a vegetarian butternut squash ravioli. The catering staff did an amazing job and were attentive without being overbearing. Wonderful experience with Celebrations Catering! -

Amazing food!
David was such a big help planning the food, the floor plan, and so many other little details. The food was AMAZING! The mac & cheese was my favorite thing we picked, but everything was really good. Our guests were all commenting on how great the food was. We also needed some very specific allergy-safe meals and he worked with us to put together delicious options for those guests. I wanted to do a Pittsburgh-style cookie table and David worked with us to come up with a COVID-safe solution so I could have my cookie experience, which turned out great. The catering staff who worked at our wedding were also terrific. So professional and on top of everything. It was perfect. I would definitely recommend them. -

A week after my daughter's wedding and our guests are still raving about the food. I didn't realize what went into catering a wedding until I witnessed the entire mobile kitchen set up. Everything was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious, the bartenders were awesome, everyone was super friendly, and unbelievably efficient. In this time of COVID, everyone was professional and helped us with our efforts in social distancing our guests by adding extra tables, and setting up outside. Special shout out to David - thank you so much for helping to make our daughter's special day PERFECT! -

Courtney F. Sent on 10/28/2020One of the best decisions we made!
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to use Celebrations Catering. We initially hired them for our big wedding in Frederick, but after COVID hit, we decided to downsize to a few of our closest family and friends at my childhood home in the Annapolis area. Tammy and her team were SO accommodating and took on our micro-wedding without a second thought.
Let's start with the food - it is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The grilled cheese and tomato soup shooters were a hit! Everyone said they were the most unique wedding appetizers they had ever had (chicken and waffles, mini burgers, bacon wrapped shrimp), and no one was left hungry. Dinner was beef tenderloin with mushroom sauce and crabcakes - SO delicious and really great sized portions. It was the best wedding food I've ever had.
But beyond the food, what makes Celebrations so special is the staff. They truly felt like part of the family by the end of the evening. Tammy's calming presence before I walked down the aisle was so appreciated, and she always made sure my husband and I had food while taking our portrait photos. Her staff were the kindest people I've ever met and I felt so blessed to have them there with us. They made sure everything went smoothly and handled our guests with such care, and I couldn't be more thankful for them. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.
Go with Celebrations and I promise it will be the best decision you'll make for your big day! -

The Perfect Accompaniment
Celebrations was recommend to us by our venue, The Historic Rosemont. We did our due diligence in search for caterers in our area to ensure we picked the absolute perfect caterer for us, and we did! David is easy going and easy to work with. We did our tasting in January 2020, approximately 8 months prior to our celebration. IT WAS AMAZING! Seriously, because of the salad we tried we started putting pickled vegetables in ours. The appetizers and entrees are something my then fiancé and I talked about non-stop leading up to our day because everything was so good. I can’t express enough how much we loved the food and the experience.
On the day of our celebration, the staff of Celebrations Catering practiced all COVID-19 safety precautions and wore masks during the entire event. They were very accommodating to us and all of our guests and flexible when it came to no show guests. We got so many compliments on the bartender(s) that Celebrations brought! The drinks were made very well and I am very picky when it comes to alcoholic beverages. I would 100% recommend Celebrations Catering service for any event you may be having. They will listen to what you want and how you want it, provide ideas, and will provide their services with great care.

Samantha Sent on 10/25/2020Perfect Day (Sept13)
We were blown away by the Celebrations team! The food was phenomenal - all of our guests raved about it (and still are). Before COVID we were planning to do a buffet. About a month out from our wedding we decided to pivot and do a plated dinner instead. David at Celebrations was incredibly patient and efficient in making those changes for us. We went with a dual plated meal instead of giving guests a choice and EVERYTHING on the plate was delicious. The bartenders and catering staff were amazing as well. Our wedding day was perfect, and Celebrations knocked it out of the park!! We would absolutely recommend them to a friend. -

Wedding Catering 02.22.20
We had our wedding at Rosemont Manor and Rosemont Springs, and Celebrations is their preferred career - and they were fantastic!! We had initial contact and menu planning and table layout working with David (owner), who was wonderful. We then worked with Adolpho and Yesenia, who were both very knowledgeable, had great suggestions, and were very flexible and understanding as things were added and changed throughout the planning process. Helped us create a few signature cocktails and planing to have snacks and drinks set aside for the wedding party.
Yesenia was especially wonderful on the day of my wedding - taking time to check in on me and my husband throughout the night and making sure we had meals and drinks. Thank you Yesenia!! Their entire team was great. Fantastic service!!!! They setup and took down at the end of the night. They set up our desserts from our cake vendor. They helped to take away so much of the stress for the reception, and I am very grateful. And the food was amazing!!! They provide a great selection of quality options fbor catering. Highly highly recommend Celebrations!
Thank you Yesenia, Adolpho, and David! -

Sarah M. Sent on 11/17/2019Delicious, Seasonal Wedding Fare
David and his team were like our second wedding planners. We are so grateful to their time and dedication to our wedding and making our vision a reality. We were married on 11/9 at Rosemont Manor and used Celebrations because the are the partner caterer, and couldn't have asked for a better team. We had lots of little unique details that they made reality, from signature drinks, to a special pizza they cut and served, to phenomenal reception food. Everything was warm, inviting, seasonal, and fresh. The day-of team were so kind and professional, and made sure my husband and I were taken care of from start to finish. Now I need to figure out the recipie for the salad we ate, because their dressing should be bottled and sold it was so good! -

We just held our wedding and used celebrations catering for our wedding dinner. Since the beginning everyone at celebrations were so wonderful to work with. From our tasting to finalizing the menu and options, communicating was a breeze. I worked with Lois Aylestock on finalizing our menu and she was such a pleasure to work with. We had some guests with allergies and Lois made sure to check with the chefs and CEO that our guests allergies were noted and accommodated. Lois also helped to match linens with my overall vision and colors and helped answer all of my questions. All of the staff from celebrations working and serving during our wedding were so wonderful especially our banquet captain who made sure everything ran so smoothly! We received so many compliments on all of the food served at our wedding (especially the shrimp at cocktail hour!) and would recommend celebrations to anyone looking for a caterer. -

Working with David was a very enjoyable experience! From our first meeting, to the tasting, to the cocktail hour and reception, everything was very professional, and of course the food was delicious. They were happy to cater to all of our specific requests, and made sure that we were well taken care of on our wedding day. The signature cocktails they made were delicious as well! We were very budget conscious during our wedding planning, and David was very helpful in maximizing our bang for our buck with his services. -

Caitlin S. Sent on 11/16/2018Excellent Job
We were required by our venue to use Celebrations Catering, but they did an incredible job. The process was pretty easy and Vivian made herself very accessible by email. They were very flexible and had no problem with changing things out and making substitutions.
For the wedding they were absolutely incredible! The Banquet Captain did a great job of checking in with us (the bride and groom) to see if we needed anything. She brought us snacks and drinks during photos so that we could also enjoy the cocktail hour as well. The bartender who had been at our tasting brought us some special mixed drinks once dinner started.
Their staff was incredibly accommodating, friendly and on top of everything from the moment they arrived to packing everything up to leave. We would definitely recommend them to anyone! -

Emily Sent on 08/18/2018Celebrations was the required vendor for our venue, and we were highly satisfied with the variety of buffet choices, as well as their flexibility in tailoring the menu to fit our needs. Our tasting was wonderful, and we were happy with the linen colors and rental options. They provided the option for child meals, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals ad appetizers.
We went with the BBQ Chic and it was DELICIOUS!
