    Amazing food and service!

    Food was very important for our wedding. From the beginning, GetPlated understood our vision. From the initial menu to the tasting to the actual wedding, GetPlated was flexible in adjusting our menu and accommodating dietary restrictions. When I mentioned wanting a tres leches cake, they mentioned tres leches shooters to our dessert table and wow they were a hit! On top of everything, our guests are STILL talking about how much they enjoyed the food! It was important to us that there was a vegan option for our vegan family and friends and were told that it was the best vegan wedding meal they'd ever had! All of GetPlated's staff including Jessica our coordinator and every single server were professional and a joy to work with. Highly recommend GetPlated if you want delicious food and drinks!

    The guests favorite part of our wedding!

    I am so happy that a caterer like GetPlated exists! Not only were we able to support this black owned business but their quality, responsiveness, costs and more were nothing but excellent. The guests raved about the food which was one of the most important things to me. Jessica was our main point of contact and was helpful with my many questions that came over the months of planning. The owner Alexandria was also extremely helpful when Jessica was sick in making sure that nothing fell through the cracks. I will be using them at future events and would highly recommend them!

    Great food and service

    GetPlated, particularly Alex, were great to work with. We started our wedding planning right before COVID and they were the only caterer we talked to that was able to pivot so quickly and provide an at home / virtual tasting. They were also very flexible with rescheduling the reception and our changed guest count. The place settings and linens were gorgeous and fit our vibe perfectly. The food was tasty, the drinks flowing, and the service top notch. They also were able to prepare platters for our goodbye brunch the next day, which were a big hit.

    A guest at a wedding to a GetPlated Catering customer

    We attended a wedding that the food and the service was amazing. My wife and I could not put our folks down. The biggest take way was the food was beautiful and the taste was better than I've tasted in 5 star restaurants. We were so impressed that I have used them on two different events. They actually took the time to provide ideas to make these events better than I dreamed. You will never be disappointed.

    Tasty food, excellent service and great prices

    Tasty food, excellent service and great prices. We loved that Get Plated offered packages for small weddings. We had an intimate 8 person wedding on June 19, 2021. We wanted to at least have a 3 course dinner for our family. Get Plated provided just that! There was so much to choose from and everything looked and tasted delicious. Service was exceptional and the selections for table linens and decor was great too. We are so happy we choose Get Plated. We can't wait to have another event to hire them again.

    The BEST decision you will make for your wedding!

    Every single one of our guests raved about how amazing the food was and how ahhhhmazing the staff were! I felt like they were all friends attending the wedding! After having to postpone our wedding 3 times, we had gone through the entire list of DC area caterers. From the moment we arrived to our tasting, we knew that there was no one like Alex and her team at GetPlated. First of all, the tasting itself was like one of the best dates my fiance and I have ever been on! I HIGHLY recommend doing the tasting.
    Second, the food looks as beautiful as it is delicious! And third, I had family and guests with all sorts of strange dietary restrictions and even at the tasting GetPlated was able to adjust everything and still ensure it was the best meal everyone ever had!
    During the wedding planning we had so many pivots due to government mandates around covid and the forecasted weather for rain! It almost got down to changing our wedding from 50 to 10 people and even though it would affect their business the most, Alex was compassionate, empathetic and encouraging and willing to help us have the wedding of our dreams.
    During the wedding day, they made a specialty non alcoholic drink in honor of our daughter who really felt so special! The staff made sure to follow the wedding party around during photos to make sure everyone was able to EAT! (So many brides and grooms never really get to eat on their own day!)
    By the way, my favorites were the hot chicken biscuits, the doughnuts and milkshakes, the tuna cones, the sea bass, the drinks... everything!!!!

    Get to know their startup story and you'll fall in love with them even more.
    Getting to work with GetPlated was the best decision we made for our wedding and I cannot wait for the next chance to cater ANYTHING so that we can have their food and interact with their incredible team.

    Weddings and gatherings now are even more precious than ever and food is something that will truly bring people together and give them a warm hug from the inside out. This will be a gift you can share with your most loved ones!

    Unparalleled attention to detail!

    I have attended a catered event by Get Plated And the experience was more than phenomenal I've never seen such acute attention to detail and aesthetics.

    Great Wedding Caterers

    GetPlated is an excellent choice for catering in the DMV. They were both affordable and creative with their menu items. I was very pleased with how responsive Alexandria was from GetPlated. Our tasting was very professional and fun!! I would highly recommend GetPlated for a wedding, my guests were impressed with their plates and the appetizers during cocktail hour. Great service.

    GetPlated's reply:

    Hi Pasquale!

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was truly a pleasure celebrating with you and James.

    Unforgettable Delicious Food

    We are so happy we went with Get Plated for our wedding caterer! We really prioritized the food for our wedding and wanted it to be amazing because it's something that leaves a big impact on our and our guests experience. Get Plated did not disappoint! The food and serve was amazing, even a lot of our guests commented on it. Our tasting experience went great and they made us feel so special. They also provided a very personal experience and listened to our food vision to provide us with a menu that was customized and a reflection of us. They also provided us with so many options to choose from and we were able to select a wide variety of cocktail hour appetizers and desserts. Leading up to the day, their responsiveness wasn't 100%, but they are such pros that they know how to make it all come together!

    20 Guest Wedding

    Alex was great to work with and made us feel very taken care of throughout the planning process. Due to the pandemic, we cut our guest list from 160 to 20. The menu Get Plated made for us was amazing. There are a few take-aways that stick out in my mind a few months later. We changed our passed hors d'oeuvres to stations to be more covid friendly, and the few that I had were cold. The plated courses came out in a different order than what we were told to print on our paper menus. The cocktail shrimp from the raw bar tasted fishy, and my salmon entree was dry. Soup and salad was great. Service was friendly and accomodating.

    A few issues

    GetPlated was great during the initial planning process of our wedding. We tweaked our menu a few times, and they were very accommodating. One thing we knew we wanted from the beginning was shrimp and grits, as it is one of my favorite dishes and tied into our southern menu. Unfortunately, at our wedding, they served shrimp and red salsa (no grits). We were never contacted about changing the menu, and when I contacted GetPlated after the wedding, they tried to tell me I was confused and must have thought the garnish was salsa! Additionally, we had pecan-crusted chicken in our contract and on our guest menus. The chicken served at the wedding was not what we had during our tasting, as it barely had any "crust" (mine and my husband's had none). We found that what they serve you at your tasting is not necessarily the same food or quality they will serve at your wedding. Overall, we were a little disappointed at the wedding, especially given the price we paid for the catering.

    Great overall, though a few hiccups

    If there was a 3.5 star option I would choose that. Overall our experience with GetPlated was great. Our guests raved about the food, all plates went back to the kitchen licked clean, and the hors d'oeuvre were incredible! Keyon is a master in the kitchen! Our coordinator Lisa was super helpful during the planning process, especially as my husband and I planned our wedding from another state. She was responsive to our phone calls and always knew what to say when our indecisiveness kicked in.

    A few hiccups warranted out the 3.5 star review. 1) Our initial communications with Alexandra did not always feel warm and welcoming; it felt like we were a burdensome at times with our questions. 2) Throughout our communications we had continuously stated we would be doing a champagne/prosecco welcome drink for our guests upon their arrival. Unfortunately the day of our wedding this did not occur. We were rather disappointed this happened. After communicating this to Mary, we did receive a refund for the Prosecco that did not occur; which we appreciated. 3) Unfortunately the bars ran out of beer and certain alcohols. While it is difficult to predict how much will be drank at events, it was disappointing to hear of so many guests being turned away at the bar, including the mother of the bride.

    All in all, we loved the food and the service of GetPlated. Those few hiccups were small in nature and we still had a fantastic wedding overall. Thank you Lisa, Mary and Keyon!
