Great Food, Great Company
Wonderful catering company! Our wedding venue only allowed certain caterers, and we are so glad River Valley was one of them! Our initial tasting was very informative - and everything was delicious so it was tough to make decisions. The events staff reviewed table setup, linen options, glassware and dessert service in addition to helping us narrow down food options. We switched from a buffet style dinner to a plated dinner and there were no issues accommodating that request. we even rescheduled our wedding twice and the team did not miss a beat. We had a more detailed planning call about 2 months ahead of our big day, which was super helpful for locking in details. Great food and very responsive team.Wonderful catering company!

Truly Incredible
The entire process working with RVC was absolutely incredible. Everything from the first emails to the food tasting and planning meetings, down to the day of experience. I cannot count how many guests told us this was the BEST wedding food they have ever had (we did the champagne chicken and tenderloin beef tips)! We used RVC for our butler passed appetizers, plated dinner, all our linens and plate ware, and the late night pizza. Thank you to Karla and Emily for everything! Would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone. Cannot rave enough!The entire process working with RVC was absolutely incredible.

Delicious food
River valley has a big variety of options for you to serve at your wedding. We loved that we could do something different and be very comparable in price as the typical chicken entree. We did prime rib and tropical mahi mahi--we are still craving these dishes! All of our guests loved the food as well. You will not have a bad meal with River Valley!River valley has a big variety of options for you to serve at your wedding.

Would recommend!
We hired River Valley Catering for our wedding in June 2019. They were one of the recommended vendors from our wedding venue and after considering menus, pricing, and customer service, we decided they were the best fit for us! Our tasting at the restaurant made the choice even more clear; they were so friendly and accommodating - willing to customize for us and honest with their opinions about what is popular or how many people would eat a late night snack, etc.. On the day of the wedding, service was smooth and on-time. Guests commented on how good the food was and people asked us if we had the recipe of the chicken dish we had ordered (champagne chicken). We were very happy with both the service and quality of the food (which had to travel about an hour to our venue). The only small hitch we had was that one of our menu items was incorrectly labeled on the buffet as having chicken, which was unfortunate as that was our vegetarian option so those folks didn't know it was safe to eat. Obviously, this was a small oversight and if we had walked the buffet ourselves (we got table service for head table), we probably could have caught this and quickly resolved. Overall, we were very happy with our selection of River Valley Catering and would definitely recommend them to others looking to cater their wedding!We hired River Valley Catering for our wedding in June 2019.

People are still talking about the food
River Valley was incredible to work with. We had multiple allergies to work around and they took it in stride. The food was such a hit people are still talking about it and some wanted doggy bags! Don't hesitate for one second to use River Valley.River Valley was incredible to work with. We had multiple allergies to work around and they took it in stride.

River Valley was AMAZING! Our guests loved the food and Sue and Betty made sure that our vegetarian friends were also fed. They checked in on the parents to make sure that they enjoyed their food as well. Not only that, but my stepmom has dairy allergies they made sure that she was able to eat and had special sides for her. River Valley had the best food I've ever had at a wedding and all our guests couldn't believe how full they were after their meal. The desserts they made were a huge hit as well. Very professional and I loved working with them. Their staff met all our needs from catering to bartending as well.River Valley was AMAZING!

The food was outstanding, they even made a salad for us that wasn't part of their menu. We asked them to have the salads on the table, family style, so people could eat while waiting to be dismissed for the buffet. Our guests appreciated it. The staff was great and even sent my husband and I with to go plates because we were taking pictures during dinner and didn't get to eat much. My uncle said it was the best wedding food he had ever had.The food was outstanding, they even made a salad for us that wasn't part of their menu.

River Valley Catering served food at Woodhaven for our wedding. The meal itself was phenomenal and the team that we worked with was great and made everything very stress-free. We served a buffet of steak, pasta, broccoli, potatoes and buns.

9/19/20 wedding
The food was delicious and we had them serve our drinks too since we wanted an open bar. We were able to rent linens and place settings as well. They did a great job and instead of a wedding cake we also did a cheesecake bar through them too. Everything was executed perfectly! They came out the evening before to get set up. They even let us take the leftovers!9/19/20 wedding

Great food and great service makes for amazing wedding
After tastings with several caterers for our August 2019 wedding, we decided upon River Valley Catering. We made that decision based upon the quality of food, recommendation of our venue (Villa Bellezza) and the way we were treated at our tasting. The food was delicious, the portions were good and the presentation was nice. But equally important, Emily and others at RV, gave their opinions when asked, were flexible with options and sincerely wanted to make it the best experience for us! And that is exactly what they did! They came and set up the linens on the tables early so we could start the decorating early. They served bubbles to our guests during the receiving line, set up and passed appetizers, served the meal and bartended all night long. Always quietly and efficiently in the background. Our guests commented on how good the food was and they even served just to me (the bride) mashed sweet potatoes, my favorite. Because as they said repeatedly, the bride gets whatever she wants! Highly recommend them for your next wedding or event!
