    Awesome and Professional

    Rhonda and her team were the only choice for my son and his fiance. They were their first choice and loved every meeting with Rhonda. All the correspondence, response time and follow-up were amazing. Going out of her way to make sure all the details were taken care of before and during the event... including picking up the wedding cake and gluten free desserts was above and beyond. The food was awesome and the staff excellent. Will definetly recommend Saucy Salamander!!

    The Saucy Team is the Best!

    We hired The Saucy Salamander to cater our daughter's wedding. Rhonda and her team were beyond excellent from start to finish! From initial contact to the final little details wrapping up after the wedding, Rhonda was on point and responsive. She went out of her way to make sure we knew exactly what we needed to do during the months/weeks/days leading up to the event, coordinated rentals, and worked well with our wedding planner. We had the ceremony outdoors and the reception indoors, and she and her team handled all of the logistics of moving everything from outdoors to indoors while we were in photography. The food was outstanding - all the guests raved about it! The service was on point and the servers were friendly and responsive. After all was said and done, Rhonda and her team made sure to leave the venue in better shape than we found it. We were very please and would highly recommend Rhonda and the Saucy Salamander for any event you are planning!

    Saucy salamander = perfection

    Rhonda and Saucy Salamander was the only choice to make for us! From start to finish Rhonda & Chef Jon made our daughters wedding absolutely perfect. Rhonda made everything so easy from picking linens, designing the set up of the venue and where things would be set up and how they would flow, she just has the magic touch. She also advised us on other vendors which was very helpful. Her staff was on point, very friendly and were happy to help us at any point with anything we needed. I can not wait to use Saucy Salamander again and would completely and highly recommend them for and special event you have planned.

    Saucy Salamander is Amazing!!

    There aren't enough words I could say to rightfully express how wonderful Rhonda, and the whole Saucy Salamander team are. Rhonda thoughtfully and kindly spent so much effort and time checking in with me throughout planning our wedding during the pandemic. She was so compassionate and brought me a lot of comfort. We had our very small wedding ceremony in August. They were so accommodating and served our wedding menu on a smaller scale for just our family. They went above and beyond to make our reception perfect! Our 150 person wedding celebration is pushed to next year and I can't wait to have Saucy Salamander cater again! They're prices amazing for how high the caliber of food and service is! I will always use Rhonda and her team for my events!

    We Love Rhonda!

    Rhonda was so understanding because of COVID-19. I could ask Rhonda any questions I had about catering and even if she didn't have an answer right then, she would always tell me she would look into it (and she did)! She did such an amazing job helping me prepare and set up, her and her staff were always helping my guests and I, she just helped the day go by so much smoother. The food was also just as great! We all loved the food at the wedding so much, her team did amazing! I would recommend Rhonda 1000x YES to anyone who is looking for a sweet, communicative, and wonderful caterer.

    Love, love, love Saucy Salamander!

    Rhonda Falcon and her team are fabulous! She stuck with us through our daughter's 2020 wedding postponement due to Covid, and we're so grateful she did! She made us feel like family and did her best to accommodate us and our vision. She navigated us through the menus, rentals, liquor, changing Covid restrictions, etc. and they all adapted to our rainy day wedding on 6/11/21. Everything looked beautiful and the food was delicious! - some guests said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Highly recommend.

    Excellent!

    We got married 6/11/21 and with the help of Rhonda and her team, had the best day ever! She worked with us right up until wedding day because their was rain in the forecast and made sure we were prepared for an indoor and outdoor wedding. Rhonda and her team were so pleasant to work with and really made us feel like family on wedding day and during the entire planning period. I would 100% recommend Saucy Salamander to cater your next event!

    Easy to work with and great value!

    Even with the craziness of a COVID-19 wedding, Saucy Salamander was SO simple and easy to work with! After a quick discussion about what we were looking for, Rhonda put together a delicious and well-rounded brunch menu that perfectly suited our needs for our socially distant backyard wedding reception. From the bite-sized mini quiches to the smoked salmon pinwheels, everyone raved about the food. We even took the leftovers with us on our honeymoon and had them for dinner the day after the wedding! Saucy Salamander's team made a very stressful piece of wedding planning smooth and painless from start to finish. The value for the food and the quality of service is very high. 10/10, one of our favorite wedding vendors. We will be recommending them to our friends for years to come!

    Amazing vendor

    Rhonda and her team were amazing. She helped me and my husband navigate having to reschedule our wedding due to COVID. She was always available to answer every email and call I made. The wedding day was perfect; even though we ended up with about half of our original guest count, the team did everything to make it surpass my expectations. We did not hire a wedding planner and really had no need to due to Rhonda’s diligence and efficiency. I would use this company for any event in the future.

    Fantastic service and delicious food!

    Rhonda was fabulous from start to finish, helping with so many details and being available whenever I needed her! Our guests raved about the food, from the passed appetizers during cocktail hour, to the 4 stations we had--everyone was stuffed! The staff were so hardworking and friendly and attentive to everyone's needs. I HIGHLY recommend them, they were superb!

    Best food and service!!!

    Rhonda is absolutely amazing!!! She understood exactly what my fiancé and I wanted. She did a tasting for us even before we signed a contract. We were sold on Rhonda’s passion and understanding. Her food was unbelievable. So many options and prepared exactly how we asked!! She helped with the planning of the venue and buffet and overall setup! I can’t say enough good things about her and her business! Thank you so much!

    Best in Annapolis

    After interviewing several catering services in the Annapolis area, we selected Saucy Salamander for our daughter’s wedding. Everything was absolutely perfect! I can’t thank Rhonda and her staff for making this the most beautiful day ever! The food, the presentation of the tables, the service, the attention to every detail was amazing! My only regret was that it went by too fast!

    For anyone looking for a catering service for your special day, Saucy Salamander is top notch. Rhonda and her staff will work with you to make sure it is everything you want it to be.

    Above and Beyond Expectations

    We got married Memorial Day weekend in May. Rhonda did an exceptional job coordinating everything for the big day! Everything went off without a hitch! I was impressed with the all- inclusive service she offers-from food, drinks to rental items! They did it all, and did it without flaw.
    My guest raved about the food and service. Rhonda and her team went above and beyond!

    Saucy Salamander: amazing service, expert advice, fabulous menus!

    Saucy Salamander (118 Mayo Rd. Edgewater, MD. 21037) catered a wedding and reception for us in May, 2019 and we were thrilled with everything they did for us. Rhonda was absolutely wonderful to work with...she quickly understood our ideas and was able to offer us great advice and many helpful suggestions. She guided us through every step of the process with gentle reminders and enthusiasm.
    On the wedding day, it was evident that she and her staff were making every effort to help us host a very special and fabulous celebration. Our guests praised their professional manners, efficient service, and, of course their delicious food.
    We could not have asked for a better company...we would not hesitate to recommend them for any catering needs, but especially for a wedding and reception that you’ll always remember with much pride and happiness.

    BEST wedding caterer you could ask for!

    I just can't say enough about Rhonda and the team at Saucy Salamander Catering! Not only was the food delicious (we had numerous guests say it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding!), but the service that Rhonda provides is outstanding. We selected our caterer early on in the wedding planning process, and Rhonda stepped up early on to help me in any way possible. Since I didn't hire any kind of wedding planner, her help was so appreciated and relieved a lot of stress. On the day of the wedding, she arrived with her team early and ensured that every detail of the reception was perfect. I'll admit I'm a perfectionist and she surpassed every expectation. During the reception, she took care of me and my husband so well, serving us food, drinks, and cake right to our sweetheart table. If you're looking for a trustworthy, experienced caterer who can serve the most delicious food at your wedding, then you need to hire Saucy Salamander!

    Exceptional!

    Rhonda, you are the BEST! Things were a little crazy, but hiring Saucy was the best decision we made in all of our wedding planning. Absolutely priced right and you all were so professional and amazing to work with. You and your staff made my day! My husband and entire family are still talking about it and were very impressed! (Although I already knew they would be!) I recommend Rhonda and Saucy Salamander to everyone!

    Excellent experience all around!

    My wife and I had tastings with three caterers in the Annapolis area—and Saucy Salamander was the clear winner. Rhonda is a seasoned pro—each time we spoke, in person or on the phone, we simply felt comfortable and that we were in good hands—she’s extremely easy to work with, listened to and accommodated our small but important requests, and took good care of us throughout the whole process. Rhonda unquestionably has the “do what needs to get done” attitude which is crucial when so much of the wedding depends on food, beverage, service, and table settings.
    Our guests RAVED at how good the food was—personally, we liked the crabcake and the bacon-wrapped scallop appetizers, and the fruit-and-cheese spread that they prepared for cocktail hour. The dinner buffet of both meat and vegetarian options was just as tasty. When we were developing the menu, Rhonda had great ideas and advice for us on food pairings and provided several options for us as inspiration.
    Her staff were friendly and attentive—many of them have been working her events for 10+ years, which tells you everything you need to know about how good of a person she is.
    We felt her prices were very reasonable, and she’s not out to nickel and dime. When it comes to alcohol, there’s no “rail package” or “top shelf package”, it’s “on your behalf, I’ll buy whatever type and brand you tell me to, and anything that we do not open during the event, we will return and you will get that money back”. Winner for our budget—we got about $500 back a few days later!
    We would absolutely use Saucy Salamander again—having Rhonda in the driver’s seat was the right way to go and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Great experience

    Saucy Salamander did an exceptional job with our wedding. Rhonda Falcon is really passionate about her work and it showed with all the details put into our event. She has a very friendly staff and a very good system of making a wedding smooth and stress free. Rhonda worked closely with us to ensure that we got what we wanted for our special day. She gave us her honest opinion about decoration and food and really helped us with working on our budget. Saucy Salamander also does a very good job of working with the rentals i.e. chairs, tables, cloths, etc. Working along side Saucy Salamander to make our dream wedding come true was a breeze. My wife and I would highly recommend this company for all of your catering needs.

    My daughter says her wedding was a real life fairytale!

    Rhonda and her staff not only catered my daughter's wedding she added all her special touches from start to finish. They spent hours preparing and going over menu options, offering her expertise with the venue and the endless selections of decor. Rhonda along with the Saucy Salamander staff kept me as the mother of the bride calm and engaged. I know Jessica and Matt Nicholson loved their wedding. Jessica said it was a little fairytale.

    If you want peace of mind on your wedding day!

    My wedding day was so perfect because of Rhonda and her team. They were so professional and on point with everything. I felt like I was in good hands the whole day. I did not have to worry about anything. The food was amazing! They were able to create delicious Hispanic food along with some gourmet American food too. My guests are still raving about the food. I would absolutely recommend Saucy Salamander to anyone. Rhonda is an absolute joy to have and her team is amazing.

    We cannot recommend Saucy Salamander enough!! Rhonda was a fantastic guide from day one. From hashing out the little details early on, to coordinating with other parties, and really playing a HUGE role in organizing and coordinating on the day-of, Rhonda and the Saucy Salamander crew were such a key element in allowing our wedding to go so smoothly and be such a blast!! In addition to provide such a great service, the food was FANTASTIC. What a great feeling to hear your guests rave about the dinner, without even being asked. Seriously, only words of praise were heard from meat-lovers, pescatarians, vegetarians, and vegans alike. Thanks so much to Rhonda and her crew!

    My husband and I explored many options when considering a caterer for our wedding. From the beginning we were wowed by Rhonda and the food. From our tasting, to the wedding, and everything after, Rhonda was extremely accommodating and helpful. Rhonda even took us to the rental company to help ensure that we had everything we needed (and so that we didn't include the things we didn't need). After our wedding, the one thing we heard over and over again was how AMAZING our food was. The crab dip and the bacon wrapped scallops were VERY popular. When we asked Rhonda last minute to add an oyster bar to our reception, she didn't even hesitate. On top of everything else, Rhonda was very helpful in getting everything ready at our reception. I asked if she would mind setting up some items, and she did. It was evident that she wanted to make our wedding special and stress-free for us. I would gladly recommend this company for any catering event!

    Rhonda and her team made our day extremely special! From the first tasting, we knew that Saucy Salamander was the caterer for us. We didn't even bother to taste test anyone else. Rhonda treated us like her own children and took such good care of us! The food was amazing and we got so many complements from guests. We knew everything was under control the day of and we even got to eat because we were waited on hand and foot by the staff.

    Worth every penny!

    Rhonda the owner and her staff are a class act! From day one we were impressed by the professionalism and the quality of the food. Rhonda helped with so much more than expected and made sure everything was perfect for our special day. Because we were so impressed, we use Saucy Salamander for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding reception. We look forward to using them for up coming events!
