  Sandy and her dream team!

  I can’t rave enough about how incredible Sandy and her team are. We hired her for our wedding September 16 and I still haven’t stopped hearing about all the raving about how great the food was. She has a team of bartenders who kept the party up and going all night, her staff made us feel like royalty, and the food was incredible. I cannot recommend Sandy enough. She also supported in so many headaches behind the scene to make our day as easy as possible. I truly can’t rave enough about Sandy. She’s worth ever since penny plus more.

  Sandy and her team are INCREDIBLE!

  Sandy and her team were…to say incredible doesn’t do them enough justice. Sandy was with us from start to finish and was such a pleasure to work with. She gave us resources and insight about how to navigate vendors and made recommendations based on her experience and expertise. She gave us websites about plates, how to calculate beverages, and offered so much to ensure our day was perfect! And all that is before the food itself! We got nothing but rave reviews from our guests, and my husband and I were both just happy dancing at our plates while we ate because it was SO GOOD! Like if I could give everyone on the team their own individual five star reviews just to reinforce how great the Culinary Delights team is I would! Highly highly highly recommend Sandy and her team!!!!

  Exceptional

  Sandy and her team were recommended to us by Riverwood Designs. They catered our wedding reception for a formal seated dinner on January 16th 2022 in Midlothian VA. She and her team did a PHENOMENAL JOB.
  For passed hor d'oeuvres, we had mini crab cakes (THEY WERE SO GOOD THEY MADE ME CRY), a savory goat cheese torte with sun dried tomatoes, pesto and pistachios (highly recommend). Winter salad with cranberry, feta, granny smith apples and spinach & romaine lettuce with a walnut cider dressing. Entree we had either chicken marsala (very tender and flavorful)/roasted vegetable lasagna. Herb roasted potatoes, asparagus and green beans for sides. Each plate also had demi loaves with a garlic herb dipping oil.
  - Sandy was responsive, professional and easy to communicate with via text, call or email. I called her probably 4 weeks before my wedding and she worked with me to design our menu.
  - The food is EXCEPTIONAL. All the guests raved about it.
  The best part is she always makes a little extra and I had leftovers for the next couple of days ! Yayayaya
  - We had a snow storm that day but Sandy and her team were there on time and ready to go.
  - She found me the BEST BAKER EVER by connecting me to Carrot Tree Kitchens in Williamsburg VA. Sandy picked up the desserts and our 3 tiered wedding cake and brought it with her to Midlothian.
  - Prices are very affordable. I personally think she should charge more for her exceptional food and service.
  I have nothing negative to say about my experience. I cannot believe how lucky we got.
  Sandy was truly invested in making our wedding special and she sure did make it very very special.
  We will consider Culinary Delights for our future events.

  Sandy is your Go-To for Catering and Party Planning!

  Sandy was a joy to work with from start to finish from planning to pulling off our wedding day and farewell brunch. She took time to get to know me and what I wanted to come through on this big day and worked with me to make my dreams a reality. She met with us for planning sessions, referred for additional vendors, advised on all of our ordering, and worked through a list day-of to ensure seamless operation. She was always timely with communication and thought of everything I surely would have missed. I would recommend Sandy for all of your event planning needs!!

  Sandy and the entire Culinary Delights team are absolutely AMAZING to work with! My fiancé and I were planning our entire event long distance and so we had to rely on phone calls, emails and no small amount of faith to pull it off. Sandy was one of the first vendor calls we made and from the get-go, it was clear she was the one for us! She is incredibly fast to respond and really worked with us to hone our “vision” of what we wanted the event to be, not just the food but rather the whole day. I knew I wanted our guests to eat well and not just the standard wedding fare so, Sandy worked with us very diligently and patiently on crafting a menu that offered lots a wide variety of options and kept us within budget. She offered so much guidance along the way and helped us lock in details with other vendors along the way. Our venue was a blank slate and we had to bring all items in for the day. Sandy handled the coordination of rental items such as tables, linens, dishware, glassware, etc. which was one less thing for us to have to worry about. When I finally walked into the venue on the day, it took my breath away – it was far more beautiful than I ever could have envisioned! And the food was INCREDIBLE!! Everything was so yummy – our guests are still raving. Sandy and her staff took incredibly good care of us throughout the event and packed up all the leftovers for us to take with us back to our hotel. That may have been the most well-fed after party ever. I simply cannot say enough great things about Sandy and her staff – she gives so much personal attention and time to make your event special. We couldn’t be happier and HIGHLY recommend!!!!

  Food was top on my list of important wedding details! I wanted my guests to be well fed and they definitely were!
  The food was fantastic! I wanted an Italian style buffet and Sandy went far above and beyond to make this happen. When I was not sure about matching appetizers and the meal - she was quick with advice and recommendations. Her staff was professional and pleasant! We had a bunch of little kids running around the venue and they were always conscious of them and careful around them. I highly recommend Sandy and culinary delights if you want delicious, reasonably priced food at your event. She is a sweetheart and will ease any concerns or stress you have regarding keeping your guests satisfied! Oh and did I mention the loads of leftovers!!!! DELISH!!!!!
