    Best Value, Best Caterer! 100% Recommend!

    My husband, family, friends, and I are still talking about how amazing EAT Catering was at our wedding. From the food to the service, they are 10 out of 10. In addition to passed appetizers, we did a buffet style dinner, mac & cheese bar, and a plated salad to start, and it couldn’t have worked out better. Cocktail hour and dinner went so smoothly, and everyone loved the food. We had a couple people tell us they kept going up for more! The process from the initial tasting, to booking to final decisions to wedding day was so easy. I worked with Sheila mostly, and she was a pleasure to correspond with and always had a smile on her face while at the wedding. All the servers and bartenders were attentive and professional. My husband and I also liked that we could provide our own alcohol and EAT Catering had a mixer package, so we didn’t have to worry about all the little ingredients. I gave the recipes for our 3 signature drinks and let them know what liquor we got, and they took care of the rest. The drinks were all so good too! We had a guest count of about 90 and there was plenty of food for everyone plus leftovers, which were enjoyed as after wedding late night snacks and for a couple meals the next few days! We learned pretty quickly that catering costs can get quite high, EAT Catering has very reasonable prices and many different options to fit most budgets and when you take into account the quality of the food, service and experience, it’s one of the best values out there. After the wedding, my husband said, “can we have EAT Catering cater every single event from now on?” 100% recommend!

    Sheila is the Best!

    From the initial tasting to the final plate of food served at the wedding, Sheila and her staff at EAT Catering were nothing short of AMAZING! We cannot recommend them enough! They were greatly accommodating to any dietary restriction we had, and the friendliness and professionalism of the serving staff rivals top tier restaurants. If you are considering using EAT Catering for your wedding, DO IT!

    Great Food Great Service

    We hired EAT Catering based off of recommendations from the venue where my daughter was having her wedding. They did not disappoint! We had about 200 guests with passed appetizers, a plated salad and buffet meal of salmon and petit filet with sides of mashed potatoes and mixed veggies - it was exceptional. Everyone talked about how tender and well-seasoned the food was. The mini crab cakes are definitely worth the price and were a big hit! Don't forget the dinner rolls - they were amazing! The staff was very attentive and friendly and went out of their way to make sure everything was taken care of. If your guest count is around the size of ours do the double buffet, it made the dinner run much smoother and allowed everyone to eat together rather than stretching out the mealtime. I will definitely recommend them to anyone that asks.

    A wonderful wedding dinner

    We used EAT catering for our wedding, and everything was fantastic from start to finish. The tasting was absolutely wonderful, and it was hard to choose which foods we wanted for the wedding because they were all so good!!! We ended up getting the bruschetta, ham and apple butter biscuits, and steak skewers for our cocktail hour, and they were a hit! Everyone loved them. We did the bbq buffet for the main meal, which was absolutely delicious as well. The servers and bartenders were very professional and friendly. They even sent me and my husband home with leftovers that we enjoyed in our hotel that evening. I highly recommend EAT catering!

    Best food ever!

    EAT catering has the best food ever! I have a pretty bad seafood allergy and they were so considerate and accommodating to it. Bartending services were also so great by them!

    EAT Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much, Lauren! We were more than happy to accommodate your allergy and are so glad you enjoyed the food and bartending services. We appreciate your support and kind words!

    Good Food and Easy to Work With

    We hired EAT Catering because we knew that they would be so easy to work with based on our initial inquiry. It was a huge bonus that their food was also amazing. Many people told us how much they loved our appetizers. All of the staff (servers, bartender, and catering manager) was lovely to work with.

    EAT Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much, Emily, for the rave review! We were so honored to be a part of your special day and are happy that everyone enjoyed the food and service. Congratulations!

    BEST caterer in RVA

    EAT catering catered our wedding last month, January 2022, and Sheila and her team were perfect.

    The servers and bartenders were impeccable, and the food was delicious. From the beginning, Sheila made everything so easy for us.

    I love that EAT has SO MANY food options and serving styles, and that you can handle all of your linen and serve ware needs right in one place. We got everything food and drink related from EAT, and it was worth every penny because they made it such a breeze. They provided appetizers for cocktail hour, allowed us to serve dinner at the tables family style (which I have never seen before at a wedding), did a hot chocolate bar since it was a winter wedding, and provided the non-alcoholic beverages since we opted to supply the alcohol ourselves. The bartenders even did our custom cocktails! They also set up a delicious assorted deserts station since we opted not to do a big wedding cake. It was a complete hit.

    My husband and I did our tasting day and selected our linens and plates at the same meeting, and then on our wedding day, exactly what we asked for arrived exactly where and how we wanted it. Plus, it was really affordable!

    And Sheila was so flexible with our changing guest count, and with dietary accomodations!

    Everyone loved the food, and I loved that it was easy and all encompassing so I only had to communicate with one person to handle everything food and drink related. And Sheila is so reliable and prompt in communication that I never once stressed.

    I will recommend EAT catering to anyone getting married, or literally any situation where you'd need a caterer.

    We loved EAT Catering!

    EAT catered our December wedding rehearsal dinner and reception and we are so glad we chose them!! It was a seamless process from the beginning taste test through the last dish cleaned up on our wedding night. Sheila, the catering director, answered many of my questions and made sure all the details were in place. Rachel attended both our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception and did a great job on food and bartending. The servers were prompt and so sweet. Everything went off without a hitch! We chose the barbecue package for our rehearsal and the herb roasted chicken/petite tenderloin for our reception and our guests raved on the food - it was absolutely delicious! Thank you EAT Catering!

    Plant-based options? Yes please!

    With me being vegan, it was a struggle at first trying to find a company that could cater to both mine and my husbands palette (as he loves his meat) - but EAT went above and beyond any expectations we had! They made two of our sides vegan and even took it a step further and provided a fully vegan meal for a few of my guests. One of the guests was in awe as she stated to me that she’s never been to a wedding with a vegan option before! All of the food was talked about for days after the wedding - everyone thought it was incredibly delicious!

    EAT Catering's reply:

    Thank you, Lexie, for this positive review! We were so happy to have been able to prepare food that you, your husband, and all of your guests could eat. Congratulations to you and your husband on a beautiful wedding and marriage!

    Great Experience

    We had a wonderful experience using EAT catering for our daughter’s wedding! The food was delicious! Sheila readily responded to my email questions. The service the day of the wedding was excellent. One of the staff members even assisted with getting my elderly mother in and out of the car. I highly recommend EAT catering for your next event!

    EAT Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much, Catherine! We are so happy to hear that our food was delicious and that the service was excellent. We loved working with you and your daughter and were honored to be a part of her special day. Congratulations to the happy couple!

    Loved it! Highly recommend!

    EAT Catering was wonderful to work with for my daughter's wedding! They were true professionals from the tasting, through the planning of details, and throughout the event. The food was FANTASTIC! Sheila and her crew were so sweet and worked with my daughter to make sure everything was as she wanted it. Wonderful food and people! Highly recommend!!

    Thank you, Kim, for your positive review! We are so honored to have worked with you and your daughter during this exciting time. We are sending our best wishes to your daughter and her partner on a beautiful marriage!

    Absolutely divine!

    Your guests will be raving about EAT Catering long after your events. Shelia and her team were extremely helpful and we had such a good time at our tasting. During our wedding, the servers made sure my new husband and I got food and drink during our pictures and had a plate full of food ready as we walked into our reception. They made sure our glasses were full and "catered" to our every need. 10/10 would recommend this local catering to any event!!

    EAT Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much, Erin! We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. It was our pleasure to cater your special day! Congratulations & Best Wishes!!

    Great Food!

    EAT Catering catered the food for our wedding and it was absolutely fantastic! Rob is great to work with. He’s super friendly, knowledgeable & organized.

    I can’t say enough great things about the food, it was so incredibly good. We did a taco bar and EAT knocked it out of the park. By far some of the best food I’ve had, and all the guests loved it!

    Rob and the entire EAT Catering team were SO incredibly excellent. Rob took a simple request I had and made it into more than I could EVER imagine. My husband and I wanted brisket and tacos -- Rob created some of the best brisket I've EVER had (and I'm from Texas, y'all so I know good brisket) with delicious homemade barbecue sauces to enjoy as well.

    The taco bar included so many different options (chicken, fish, pork) with toppings (pico, salsa varieties, corn salsa, cheese, sour cream, guac, etc.). And the mac and cheese. Oh. My. Word. I will never, ever, ever eat mac and cheese as good as EAT. Ever.

    The staff was incredibly kind, fun, and upbeat all evening as well.

    I cannot say enough good things about Rob and how wonderful he and his entire team were. Trust me, you will NOT regret working with this amazing team.

    Thank you again Rob for everything you did to make my day perfect. I have heard from all my guests that this was by far the best wedding food they have ever had. You are amazing!!

    Eat Catering is an amazing company with fantastic service and an individualized approach to their clients. I can't comment enough on how fortunate I was to find them. The staff was personable and pleasant, going out of their way for my guests and myself at every turn. Their rates were reasonable and they offered linen and china rentals. They are a small company but their food and service could rival any big name I could find. They truly made my wedding!

    Wonderful!

    EAT allowed us to work with the team to create a custom menu that catered to our family traditions, dietary restrictions, and specific foods that were desired but we were unable to find anywhere else. Everything was executed with perfection and everyone raved about all of the delicious food! EAT also provided our bartenders that were personable and friendly with all of our guests. The whole team at EAT was wonderful to work with!
