Ari Sent on 12/29/2025Bally Cliff Rustic but Elegant Wedding
We toured many venues for our clients August wedding but when we reached Bally Cliff the decision was simple. Bob and the team worked tirelessly to help put all the wedding details together and come up with a seamless plan for a beautiful pondside outdoor ceremony, indoor/outdoor cocktail hour and upstairs reception in the barn. Our bride and groom were attended to constantly by the professional and hardworking staff and they made the process easy for all of the vendors as well. The day of the wedding they couldn’t have been more helpful as we had to transition guests to the different spaces. The food was great and I highly recommend having your wedding at Bally Cliff! -

Mads Sent on 12/19/2025Wedding food that actually tasted amazing
High Point Events did a great job catering our wedding. The team was responsive and flexible from start to finish. We had some unique needs (like having staff mask at the event) and everyone was super accommodating. We made so many changes to our menu and seating plan and the team went with the flow each time. Day of, the team was professional and speedy with set-up. The food, drinks, and snacks were all delicious and beautiful. Our guests were thrilled to have vegetarian and gluten-free options. I'd definitely recommend booking with High Point Events. -

Andrew Sent on 11/12/2025Excellent service, perfect suited the atmosphere of our wedding
We fell in love with High Point from the initial tasting we did with them. We tasted with other caterers, but nobody compared to High Point. Food was a top priority for our wedding. We wanted a casual, family barbeque aesthetic with a touch of elegance, and High Point perfectly nailed it. They were a pleasure to work with at all stages of planning and execution. We got so many compliments from our guests on the food after the wedding! We couldn't be happier with our choice. -

Maggie Sent on 10/14/2025Dream come true
We had our wedding at Bally Cliff Farm this past April, and it could not have been more perfect thanks to the incredible partnership between Bally Cliff Farm and High Point Events. From the very beginning of our planning process to the very last dance of the night, the experience was smooth, professional, and honestly stress-free, which is exactly what every couple hopes for on their wedding day.
The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. Bally Cliff Farm has this balance of charm and elegance that makes it feel both intimate and spacious at the same time. The grounds are gorgeous, the flow of the space is so natural for a wedding, and it gave us the most beautiful backdrop for photos and memories. So many of our guests commented on how unique and stunning the venue was, and we couldn’t agree more.
What truly elevated our experience, though, was the team we had supporting us. Bob, Jeff, and the entire staff deserve endless praise. They are true professionals who also manage to feel like friends. They were attentive without being intrusive, always one step ahead, and made sure every little detail was executed flawlessly. Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but they made everything so easy. They answered every question we had quickly and kindly, guided us when we weren’t sure what direction to go in, and on the wedding day itself they worked tirelessly behind the scenes so that we could just focus on celebrating with our family and friends.
High Point Events handled the catering and service, and we cannot say enough about them. The food was not only delicious, but beautifully presented and served in a way that kept the night moving without ever feeling rushed. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was! The bartenders and servers were friendly, efficient, and attentive, making sure glasses were full and everyone felt taken care of. It was that combination of great food and genuine hospitality that made our reception feel so special.
Looking back, we honestly wouldn’t change a single thing. The collaboration between Bally Cliff Farm and High Point Events gave us the wedding of our dreams. The venue provided the perfect setting, and the people — Bob, Jeff, Jessica, and the entire staff made sure that setting came alive in the best possible way. They created an atmosphere where we felt like honored guests at our own wedding, and that is something we will never forget.
If you’re searching for a wedding venue that combines stunning scenery with a team that genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, Bally Cliff Farm and High Point Events should be at the very top of your list. We will always be grateful to Bob, Jeff, and the staff for their professionalism, kindness, and dedication. They helped us create memories we will cherish for a lifetime. -

Mary Sent on 12/18/2024Wonderful service and even better food!
Our wedding priorities were good food and good company- High Point Catering went above and beyond to give us a wonderful wedding within our budget. Bob talked with us regularly and were always reachable for questions about the contract, the venue, the menu- anything.
Although we picked a smaller venue, High Point worked with us to ensure we could accommodate our entire party by offering tents and the potential to move food service in order to seat more guests. All of our guests raved about the food, the staff even saved plates for my husband and I to ensure we didn't miss out on the food we had selected and paid for. If you want the guarantee of amazing food and staff that will work with you- High Point Catering and Events is the company to hire. -

Andrew Sent on 12/14/2024Great Experience with a Great Caterer
We hired Highpoint Catering for our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the very beginning, Bob, Jessica, and the entire team were incredibly responsive, always answering our questions promptly and ensuring we felt heard throughout the process. It was clear they genuinely cared about our needs and went above and beyond to make our day flawless. The catering team handled everything, from setup to cleanup, allowing us to focus on enjoying the day. The food was amazing! Our guests, including those from Texas, couldn't stop raving about the brisket. We're incredibly grateful for their exceptional service and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding! -

Mowatt Wedding at Bally Cliff Farm
Our wedding was held at Bally Cliff Farm in Poolesville, MD. We wanted an intimate, rustic setting with some elegance thrown in. Working with Bob Egan and the High Point staff took the stress out of our day. I love that Bally Cliff has a lower level, which was where our ceremony and cocktail hour were held, then we moved upstairs for dinner and dancing. The food and drinks were amazing. I had several last minute changes and Bob and Staff were very accomodating. I would highly recommend Bally Cliff for your wedding venue. -

Emily Sent on 10/14/2024High Point Events provided not only the best food but also highest level of service and attention to every detail.
Service, support and superior food is what you will receive from High Point Events. We had a buffet for our wedding guest who all enjoyed the Peruvian Chicken and the Brisket (the Dads were eating the leftover Brisket at our Sunday morning Breakfast event)! The level of professionalism from every High Point Events staff member was outstanding. We would highly recommend High Point Events for any event! -

Beautiful, Elegant Wedding Made Possible by High Point
My wife and I were very happy with our experience with High Point. We were aiming for a classic, elegant wedding in a beautiful venue. We made it difficult for their team with a bunch of adjustments and tweaks so that the wedding could meet our budget while still matching a vision. High Point came through on every point -- both in working creatively to help us make the day possible as we hoped, and also in showing up day-of with great, positive energy and a high level of professionalism. We had ample opportunity to sample all our food options and talk them through with their staff. The food turned out excellent, much better than what I expect for a wedding banquet. Overall, we were grateful to work with a staff that could get on board with our ideas, and was an encouraging help rather than a stressor during the pre-wedding craziness. We would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. -

What a Great Experience
High Point Events was an amazing caterer to work with. We had an outdoor venue - a field in the middle of a vineyard with no outlets. We set up dance floor (provided by High Point) with carpet/couch/chair lounges surrounding dance floor and a bar (also by High Point). High Point was able to come up with lighting solutions that did not need outlets and had a sound system for our event. The evening of the event, manager on site (Erika) was there every time I turned around to be of assistance with anything I needed, or didn't anticipate I needed. The food presentation was beautifully done (tapas served on white dishes in tiered racks) and all the guests raved over the food even having seconds! No food was left over at the end of the evening (and we ordered plenty). I can't say enough good things about High Point. Jeff is wonderful to work with and always has a smile in his voice. I highly recommend High Point for your wedding or next event. -

Ashley Sent on 12/30/2023Exceptional venue, romantic atmosphere and magical views!
My husband and I got married here a few months ago, but it felt like we had spent an entire year here, in the best possible way. From start to finish Bob and his team were extremely helpful and allowed us to come look at the property any time. I am a designer and my MIL is an events planner, so we had a ton of extra personal touches we wanted to make for the wedding. Bally Cliff was very accommodating with all of it, including allowing us to camp on the property after the reception. The food was incredibly delicious and presented beautifully. The staff were so professional and pulled our dream space together in a way that truly blew us away. We got married under a tree overlooking the rolling hills and pond. Then the guests made their way to the upper barn for dinner and headed back downstairs for dancing and mingling by the bonfire pits that High Point put out for us. We even saw a meteor fly by during the night! I feel so blessed to have stumbled upon this magical location and will forever be recommending it to anyone and everyone. -

Janet Sent on 12/12/2023Impressive in Every Way
Where do I start? We’ve worked with Bob and his team at Highpoint Events several times for special family parties. All of our events were held at the historic Bally Cliff Farm. First of all, they walked me through the menu planning b/c I was paralyzed with indecision…everything sounded delicious. Two of our parties (Christmas and our daughter’s engagement party) had near 100 guests. Highpoint provided the tables, chairs and linens. We also hired their bartender, who took care of everything in that area. We did our own decorating. The venue looked gorgeous! Our guests were quite impressed and equally important, we were able to spend our time visiting and enjoying our guests. The food was both beautifully presented and delicious. The staff was professional and friendly. We didn’t stress about clean-up as they took care of all the heavy lifting. I highly recommend Highpoint and Bally Cliff Farm. -

My son's wedding and reception were held at Bally Cliff in Poolesville MD and catered by High Point. The barn venue was fantastic. High Point was great to work with and covered every detail. Food was excellent. They handled our group of 100+ guests with no problems. Top notch group of people and I would highly recommend them for your event! -

Easy to work with and would recommend to everyone
I worked with High Points Events for my wedding at The Lodge at Seneca Creek in Boyds, MD. From the moment I contacted them to the day of the event, they were very responsive and professional. They did an excellent job helping us choose the food for the wedding, and during the tasting, all the food was delicious. All my guests enjoyed the food. We had a buffet-style food service, and all the plates had a good amount of food. They also provided a bit more food, and our guests could repeat and get more food if they wanted to. For dessert, we got an ice cream bar, and everyone enjoy the various topping options. I would recommend their open bar. I was amazed by how fast and good their drinks were. Also, we did not have a line for our guests ordering and getting their drinks. Our day of coordinator let us know that they set up and cleaned up very timely and organized. One of the great benefits we noticed from working with High Point Events is that they are known around the DMV area for full services catering with many wedding venues. I would recommend High Point Events as full-service catering for any wedding. -

High Point Catering was helpful, organized and easy to work with as we planned our Backyard Wedding BBQ reception.
Our family was planning a Backyard Wedding BBQ Reception for our son’s wedding. The staff at High Point Catering was enthusiastic and experienced as they helped to plan the BBQ wedding reception for 100 people in our backyard. They provided a beautiful setup from tent, tables, chairs, linens to lighting. The staff was prompt, courteous and professional on the day of the wedding. We received many compliments on the appetizers, dinner menu and ice cream sundae bar from our family and friends. Bob and his entire staff were very attentive to our vision for the wedding reception. Thank you High Point Catering for making the wedding day for our son and his bride so special! -

Great Food And Service
It was such a pleasure working with High Point Events & Catering! They catered and helped stage my mini COVID wedding in October 2020. Bob and his team was so accommodating as we had a very short turnaround as a result of having to cancel our destination wedding. High Point Events & Catering went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I were completely satisfied with the food and the additional accommodations they provided. If you are in search of a caterer please look no further. I'm confident High Point Events & Catering will exceed your expectations as they exceeded mine! Thank you again for everything, Bob. -

Audrey Sent on 08/24/2020Great food, great service!
We were thoroughly impressed by High Point Catering! We ordered an a la carte spread of BBQ meat (pulled pork & brisket!) & side dishes for our tiny wedding, along with the beer sampler package. They also set up a large tent for our reception, complete with twinkling lights & a small dance floor on one end. Additionally, High Point provided the sound system and speakers for our event. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly & helpful, and everything from the tent & the lights to the sound system was simply perfect! We and our guests had a marvelous time, and the service provided by High Point Catering played a large part in that. We would highly recommend them! -

Kerry Sent on 10/09/2019Phenomenal from start to finish
We got married at Glen Echo Park, which had a pre-approved caterers list. We were leaning towards High Point because of their upscale BBQ with fun carnival-ish options menu, and the heard that they were reasonably priced and knew Glen Echo Park very well, and it sealed the deal for us. Melody was incredible from our first e-mails, through our calls on the menu, the tasting, the walk through, and the day of. She was always responsive and helpful with our million questions, worked within our vision and budget, willing to talk through ideas and provide options and quotes, and made everything run so smoothly on the day of--we didn't have to worry about a thing. The food was cooked on site and INCREDIBLE. We're still hearing rave reviews from our guests about the food, especially the NY strip steak, mac n cheese bites, and funnel cake fries. Man I want more funnel cake fries. In short, best decision ever!High Point Events's reply:
Dear Kerry & Mark,
Thank you so much for your kind words! You two are an amazing couple and we are honored to be a part of such an exceptionally fun night and ultimately an important and lasting memory for you, your family and friends. We are so happy you enjoyed the experience from start to finish and wish you two a lifetime of happiness.
Cue RENT music and ultimate dance party goals!

Courtney Sent on 11/16/2017We used High Point for our wedding reception 11/11/17 at McClintock Distilling Company in downtown Frederick.
I was a huge pain in the butt with changing our order several times and changing my mind about the room layout lol and Christa/the whole crew we're completely awesome start to finish! They worked with us to figure out the best order of operations for transitioning from ceremony to cocktail hour and so on. The food was SO dang good! Our guests (who happen to be tough critics) were super impressed with the presentation and service.
Christa worked with my coordinator and our rental company to ensure that we had everything we needed for the day to go off without any issues. It was absolutely perfect and we're like looking for another reason to work with them in the future! :)
Thank you Christa for keeping us in check, working with our budget and making our dream wedding a reality!
XOXOXO

Emily Sent on 11/08/2017We had our wedding on September 30th of this year. I am not sure how to put in words how incredible the High Point team is. Our coordinator was Christa who from the beginning helped us feel so relaxed about everything. We had a ton of super random questions that she always had an answer for. We had our reception in the barn area (which does take some imagination) but with a little DIY work and Christa's expertise it turned out way better than I ever imagined. A few people mentioned to us it looked like a Pinterest wedding! Everything was so easy, was taken care of and even though I worried like crazy - Christa took care of everything. The entire staff setting up and the day of event staff were so great. I could not have been happier and I HIGHLY recommend High Point for any occasion.

Kathryn Sent on 10/23/2016Christa and her staff may be the most amazing people to walk this planet! Having them take care of so many pieces of the puzzle for our special day was SO incredibly helpful! Until we made it through the day it really hadn't sunken in just HOW helpful it really was. High Point Events took care of ceremony & reception venue, catering, tables & chairs (and moved ceremony chairs to reception which saves on costs!) , linens, bar tending, setting up of almost the entire reception's decorations, day-of-coordinator (Christa is THE BEST!)...the list goes ON AND ON! The entire staff from top to bottom were hard workers, friendly, and made everything go SO smoothly! On top of it all the food was absolutely delicious! We wholeheartedly recommend this venue and staff for any wedding or event you may be considering! You will not be disappointed! -

Heather Sent on 09/10/2016Our wedding was a small backyard venue with a barbecue buffet. Since we had a very small wedding, I was a little nervous that our event would not have the same detail and care as a larger event. I am happy to say that this was not the case at all! From my first interactions with High Point Events, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Natasha and Christa helped me with all the details including the linen colors, menu, and timing of our event. Nick helped with the tent visit, dimensions, and setup. The day of, we had an awesome team in Dawn, Monica, and Jesse and we couldn't have asked for better people to setup and help for our wedding. My grandmother and mom were helping with all the logistics and raved about how wonderful the team was! Thank you all so much for helping to make our wedding so wonderful, we wouldn't have changed anything! -

Jordan Sent on 08/26/2024Phenomenal Wedding Caterers
High Point Events & Catering catered my wedding and did a phenomenal job. First of all, unlike many other caterers, they did a free tasting, which I really appreciated. Second, their staff was incredibly helpful, accommodating and patient with the numerous changes we made to guest count and the menu. (thank you to Jessica for putting up with all the emails!). And perhaps most importantly, the food on the day of was still excellent. Let's be honest, bulk cooked food for 100+ people is never going to taste as good as what you get at a tasting, but this was close as you could ask for! The Texas beef brisket was still so tender, flavorful and juicy, and the Peruvian chicken was similarly juicy and not over cooked (and chicken is so easy to and so often overcooked). All the desserts were also excellent but the bread pudding especially was amazing. We heard praise from numerous guests about the food especially about the brisket and bread pudding! And throughout, the bartenders and serving staff were extremely kind, friendly and helpful. On top of all that, the price was very very competitive. Nothing went wrong and we could not have asked for a better wedding caterer. Would highly recommend!! -

Kristin Sent on 08/04/2020High Point to the Rescue!
Like most brides in 2020 my wedding hit every bump imaginable and more. With less than three weeks until our backup wedding plans, we hit another snag and I had to figure out plan D to ensure that we could still get married on Aug 1st. Bob and the entire High Point team was amazing to work, understanding, empathetic to our situation, and so incredibly flexible to make our day special. I cannot thank them enough for everything that they did for us and how kind they were to work with. I recommend them for any occasion because not only were they amazing to work with, the food was fabulous! I had one major request, to track me down with the mini crab cakes no matter where I was, and they certainly did that!! Thank you again to High Point Catering!! -

Dawn Sent on 10/12/2024A Great Wedding Caterer!
My wife and I really enjoyed working with the staff at High Point. Jessica was our primary contact who handled the majority of the communications with us. The main aspect we loved about High Point versus other catering vendors we reviewed was that High Point was incredibly flexible when it came to the packages they offered. We started with a specific package, and if we wanted an item from a lower package or to add on an additional cocktail item, they were happy to accommodate us. That sort of flexibility was really valuable to us when considering what our guests may want in terms of food and the volume of dishes. Also, after our wedding, High Point gave us all of the leftovers, which we weren't expecting. So that was nice! It’s been a couple of weeks since our wedding, and we still have so much risotto left! Haha. Overall, we’d definitely recommend High Point for anyone currently looking for a caterer for their wedding!

Bob Egan and his staff at High Point Events did a fantastic job making my daughter's wedding day perfect! The food was excellent and the venue (Bally Cliff Farm) was exactly the rustic feel we wanted. High Point worked with us and were very flexible with plan B to make a memorable day even when the weather did not cooperate.

Emily Sent on 11/27/2018High Point Events is SUPER!
My husband and I had our Dream Wedding that when off without a hitch in October 2018. High Point Events catered and they exceeded our expectations. The food was phenomenal! All of our guests were asking if they had a food truck because it was so good. The bread pudding was to die for, we couldn't get enough. We were so pleased with High Point's attention to detail with the food and our guests are still raving about it. We also used High Point for our bathroom trailer which was a huge hit as well-I highly recommend this if your doing a backyard Family Wedding like we did. They mastered the backyard feel and country look but made it so romantic.
The food was my absolute fav! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about our Rustic, Farm Wedding.
Choose High Point Events for your Wedding-we promise you won't be disappointed.

We had a very good experience with High Point Event & Catering.
Planning a wedding is stressful when you're trying to find a place that both parents and their kids can join. We found this place within our budget, and it was an absolute blessing! It was spacious, plenty of room for all of us even though we got rain on that day.
Bob Egan was really helpful and responsive throughout the whole process till the end of the event. Thanks to him and his crew we had a blast on our special day! Highly recommended! -
