    Wonderful Catering and Event Service!

    Serendipity Catering was a wonderful choice for our November 2023 wedding! They had a wonderful set up for the tasting, we got to try different entrees and sides. And even though we used a different service for dessert they even had some of their desserts to taste for enjoyment as well. They had a great showroom of their different rental options for linens, flatware, and glassware as well so you could get a preview of how your tables would look. The day of the wedding, they arrived on time. The staff was wonderful and attentive. We even had guests comment the bar tenders remembered their drinks when they went back up to the bar throughout the evening. Our point of contact Krystal was a great communicator and was very flexible with and edits or changes we had. Only down comment would be some of the food was slightly room temperature to cold when served but we are not sure if this is really the fault of the catering as our venue did not have a commercial kitchen so Serendipity had to cook and keep food warm by other means. Overall great experience with the food and event rental services by Serendipity!

    Simply Amazing!

    Serendipity Catering & Design truly exceeded all expectations! The food was exceptional, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious dishes served during both the cocktail hour and the reception. The bartender service was top-notch, and they even nailed our signature cocktail recipes perfectly. To top it off, the wedding cake they created was not only delicious but also beautifully designed. Krystal and her team made sure everything we needed for our day was taken care of and I couldn’t have asked for a better group!! A huge thank you for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

    Highly recommend!

    Serendipity Catering catered my sister’s wedding and the food was amazing, so I immediately knew that I wanted them to cater our wedding too. They did not disappoint! We’ve had so many guests note how great the food was.

    The Serendipity staff was great throughout the whole process. They were incredibly responsive and did a great job working with us to select the menu and set up. The service on our wedding day was fantastic. We highly recommend choosing Serendipity for your wedding!

    Wedding Caterer

    Amanda and her catering team did an amazing job with the food and drinks at my wedding. From tasting the food prior to the wedding and on my wedding day, everything was phenomenal. All my guests said they enjoyed their food and drink service. Everyone was professional and they ensured we had everything we needed. I really liked the late-night snack option and all the food looked and tasted amazing! I would recommend Serendipity to all my friends and family.

    Communicative and Detailed

    Serendipity provided catering and rentals for our November 2022 wedding at Morais Vineyards & Winery. Krystal was so communicative and detailed throughout the entire planning process. She answered my millions of questions and she and her team made sure everything went smoothly the day of the event. Several guests and I have dietary restrictions (gluten free; vegan) and Serendipity was very accommodating and handled these very delicately. On the day of the event, everything was set up beautifully and we received so many compliments about how delicious the wedding food was!

    Very Accommodating Catering Company!

    Serendipity catering was extremely helpful with the whole process (and it can be a looming process)! I am dairy free and they were so kind when we came for our tasting and made sure I had every food item to taste just a dairy free version. They were also very responsive and accommodating for any guest I informed them of with an allergy. Serendipity catering is professional, kind, responsive, and the staff is so so kind. Everyone RAVED about our wedding food!!

    Delicious food!!

    Serendipity Catering is the sole caterer for Great Marsh Estate. Krystal and her team were extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The menu tasting was delicious. Our families requested soup to be served on the wedding day. Serendipity has never served soup at a wedding before, but Krystal and the head chef went above and beyond to accommodate for our request. The soups were a huge success. The hors d'oeuvres, salads, focaccia and main dishes were all delicious. My favorite was the braised short rib. My only regret was not ordering enough passed hors d'oeuvres for the guests. The hors d'oeuvres were snatched up within minutes. Additionally, the bartending service provided by Serendipity was great!!

    Made Our Day as Great As it Could Be!

    Serendipity provided us with excellent service and delicious food! We really could not have asked for a better caterer to take care of us on our wedding day. Their staff is extremely responsive, kind, and helpful from the day you sign the contract through the end of the event. The team did everything they could to make our reception exactly how we wanted it.
    Their food is also exceptional! We received many compliments on the food from our guests--and many also said that the appetizers were so good that they were quickly snatched up when they came out of the kitchen.
    Moreover, we both really appreciated the extra care that we received as the bride and groom. The staff were sure to make sure that we received our own little tray of appetizers and drinks during the cocktail hour as well as an exclusive server taking care of both of us throughout the event.
    We would have no reserves about recommending Serendipity to any friends and family looking for a caterer in the area. We are truly grateful that we hired them for our wedding.

    Serendipity

    Serendipity was great! While we did not get to chose which catering company to use in the end I could not have imagined using anyone else. The whole process was pretty easy. You get a lovely tasting where you choose your linens ect. The day of service was outstanding. The bartenders and servers were top notch. It truly takes a lot for my dad to be impressed and he was beyond impressed. He even had a waiter personally keep coming back to him with the mini crab cakes because she knew he loved them, she even brought him a big tray over during the dinner. The bartenders were great. One in particular insisted on only making the drinks the correct way from muddling the lines to lining the rim in lime juice. He was great. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married.

    Everything in 1 company and more

    Our wedding was 6/26/2022 during covid time and they were always up to date and arranged our food that was served to be prepared. We had a wonderful time at the tasting with the team and they did not miss anything! The end results were beautiful, delicious, and professional. The table arrangements and options were elegant in our rustic setting. The food from the starters to entree to dessert to coffee, everything was great. The staff that served the food was prompt and assisted the guests perfectly with no altercations. The bar staff made the drinks without over pouring, but still gave guest a nice buzz. The staff both internal and guest facing were wonderful! The staff worked very well together and it showed during the wedding. I loves that my staff, food, cake and desserts, linens, hardware, and glassware were all included! It really made things easier for us! Overall it was a great event with great food and great bar tenders! They also had to deal with a rain plan and they did not miss a step! They were referred by my planner and I see why she worked with them! Their food was so unique and delicious! Food was a top priority for our wedding and they definitely blew past our expectations. Our wedding was just like something you sew featured in a magazine! I highly recommend getting all their services they offer for your wedding to make everything as smooth as possible.

    100% Delicious - hire Serendipity now!

    Serendipity and Jessica's team are simply phenomenal. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and Jessica was understanding, easy to work with, and simplified the whole process for us. The food was what we kept saying we were most excited for at the wedding, and Serendipity delivered! We had an almost completely plant-based menu (also served salmon), and everything was delicious, scrumptious, divine. We wish we could relive that meal over and over again! It was perfectly seasonal and hit the spot for all of our guests. Jessica completely understood what we needed with plant-based (some other caterers we had engaged were including eggs and butter in things, which was a little frustrating) as, if I remember correctly, her husband is vegan. So she really knows how to do it! They also helped us out with s'mores at our venue, provided stunning table settings, and were so attentive and kind throughout the day. It was so nice having one of the servers dedicated to checking on me and my now-husband, bringing us our meals, refilling our drinks, and just making sure we had the time to actually eat! I truly can't rave enough about Serendipity and need to find a reason to hire them again ASAP. Absolutely love them. I'll leave it at this: hire them right now!!!

    Excellent food and service

    Thank you Krystal Bennett and Serendipity Catering for providing such high quality food and service for my daughter Hannah’s wedding at Great Marsh Estate in Bealeton, Virginia. My experience with you and your organization, from start to finish, was absolutely positive and successful. No details were missed. You showed great flexibility as the guest count changed. Several times. On the wedding day your team was professional and efficient. The scallops, beef, and acorn squash were delicious. Krystal, you made me feel so special during dinner. I know you had a small army of servers and kitchen staff to orchestrate, yet you found time to check in with me so often to make sure I had what I needed to enjoy the wonderful dinner. I’m so glad I found you.

    Amazing food!

    Serendipity Catering is amazing!! The food at our wedding was amazing and we received so many compliments from our guests. Serendipity also made the desserts for our dessert bar and they were also amazing! The service was on our wedding day could not have gone any smoother and I really appreciated how the wait staff made sure that my husband and I were able to try all of the hors d'oeuvres, our signature drinks, and the desserts at the dessert bar. I highly recommend choosing Serendipity for your wedding!

    The Best Caterer

    Serendipity was amazing to work with and they turned my vision for my wedding into reality. They were so responsive and patient with me. My wedding was in October 2021 and people still rave about how delicious the food was.

    Serendipity is the best!

    We hired Serendipity to cater our wedding on 5/28/22. Communicating with Serendipity's team, Amanda, was easy from the beginning. We used them for their food, bar, dessert bar and linens. They did a fantastic job! The food was even better than the tasting. Our guests were raving about the food non-stop. Thank you!!

    Excellent Food, Best Service

    Choosing Serendipity was one of our best wedding decisions. They were amazing to work with from the beginning, were incredibly flexible when we had to postpone for COVID and delivered the best service on our wedding day. We had champagne passed immediately after our ceremony, passed and stationed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, plated dinner, late night snack and open bar for the entirety of the event. The staffed delivered on every aspect, impecably. Our guests raved about their service and presentation. Truly the most friendly and professional staff most people had encountered at a wedding. If you want to take some stress out of planning, hire Serendipity for your bar and catering services. They will make magic happen for you and deliver one of the most important aspects of you wedding: great food and great drinks with style.

    Absolutely Wonderful Team were Essential to Making our Big Day a Success1

    Thank you so much to the team at Serendipity for making our special day so wonderful.
    For the day of, the banquet team was awesome, in particular Javier, who made my husband feel incredibly taken care of and supported (even when he wasn't quite sure of all the answers!).

    Working with Krystal as our catering manager was an absolute dream as well. She was gracious, understanding, and prompt, making me extremely confident in her managing our event. She even had wonderful suggestions for best practices, as we did decide to move forward with a micro-wedding during the pandemic. Her recommendations for the menu were spot on, and were so well-thought-out in regards to our wedding party having quite a few allergies. She also was instrumental in helping us pick out our linens, glassware, and china, which was such a nice thing to not have to worry about coordinating with another company (and they were stunning to boot).

    The food was phenomenal, the banquet team was a perfect balancing act of giving support but not being intrusive, and it made our big day that much better. Thank you again so much to Serendipity for all your hard work and giving us the help we needed to be able to sit back and enjoy our day.

    Superb in every way!

    Our experience with Serendipity was extraordinary! The menu items available were creative, beyond delicious and beautifully presented. Every staff member we worked with was extremely professional and bent over backwards to accommodate our needs.
    So many of our guests commented that they weren't used to getting such terrific food at weddings! We asked for the filet mignon to be medium rare - and it was! We asked for the vegetables to be very crisp and they were!! Serendipity worked very well with our wedding coordinator and venue manager. I cannot say enough good things about this caterer. You can feel very confident about hiring this company for your event!!

    100% Recommend

    Had a lovely experience with both Taylor and Krystal from Serendipity. Their team was super helpful during the entire process. Very responsive, informative and patient with my endless emails and last minute requests. The food was amazing and we've gotten non stop compliments from our guests as well. They particularly raved about the short rib and cake - highly recommend both. Serendipity went above and beyond and we couldn't be more thankful.
