Taylor Sent on 07/16/2024Just book already!
I’m basically speechless. This company is truly so amazing! They made all my wedding dreams come true and they are top notch with service ensuring my husband and I were taken care of! Always ensuring we have a drink in hand and snack or meal when and if needed! They took care of us in EVERY ASPECT! Even to the point I was able to walk down the aisle and the manger on site from simply fresh that day noticed my pocket of my wedding dress was sticking out so I was able to fix it before going down the aisle, so glad she told me because my pocket sticking out in all the photos of a once in a lifetime moment would have really not been great! They have incredible communication from before you book, after you book the tasting and just being flexible for meeting and walk through! The food was incredible (like seriously INCREDIBLE) and they ensured EVER single detail was exactly as I dreamed! I really am so happy I booked with simply fresh and would over and over 100 times again!!! If your unsure about to to book with for catering stop looking now and book simply fresh I’m the most sure you will not regret it!
Wish we had some pictures of the food. All of the food was plated beautifully! Even our salad had eatable flowers! (I mean come on) and I really just could not have asked for anything more from simply fresh!
For our cocktail hour we did crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms and bruschetta! For dinner we did a garden salad, a chicken option, a steak option and a veggie option they were all to die for! Like seriously people are still talking about how amazing the food was and our wedding was over a month ago. -

Greg Sent on 10/20/2024Great wedding caterer
Simply Fresh did a phenomenal job catering our wedding; they were super responsive, attentive to detail, served the food quickly and efficiently, and most importantly, the food was GREAT! We had numerous compliments on both the passed appetizers and the plated dinners. The steak was a major hit, and it was cooked perfectly.
Their team customized different plates perfectly, worked with food allergies well, and met with us multiple times for the tasting (which went so well!) and to plan the run of show for the wedding. Highly recommend! -

Erin Sent on 09/30/2024Simply fresh is simply perfect!
Simply Fresh was simply perfect. The coordinators and staff were friendly, accommodating, efficient, so much fun, complimentary and really provided a wonderful wedding experience.
Building out our menu and wedding evening was so specialized and personal and our wedding tasting felt like a date night! We were taken to a private room where our menu was typed out and we even got to play our own music via the bluetooth speaker in the room! Every bite we got to try was delicious and the chef even came in to take down any notes on what we wanted to change (we wanted to change nothing). Such a special evening. Even the night of our wedding, we heard a lot of our guests say that the food at our wedding was the best wedding food they've ever tasted! Perfectly seasoned and at just the right temperature.
Simply Fresh also provides additional services, such as bar tenders the day of the wedding, florals, shuttle buses and a day of wedding coordinator. We decided to utilize their service for bar tenders and shuttles and the process was so easy, I highly recommend taking advantage of additional services to make your life easier on your special day.
Overall, I would recommend Simply Fresh to ANYONE planning a wedding. I wouldn't have changed a thing! -

Alexie Sent on 09/27/2024Book Them!
Thank you Simply Fresh! We used Simply Fresh for our September 7th wedding and they made sure it was perfect! We utilized them for rentals, catering, and wedding planning.
Rentals: Simply Fresh made rentals easy, we were able to go to the warehouse to see different chairs, linens, table settings, etc. to see how they would all come together on the wedding day. We were able to spend as much time as we needed and never felt rushed while making decisions. Everything was perfect on the day of the wedding!
Catering: Simply Fresh's food is amazing! The food at the tasting and day of the wedding was some of the best food I have ever eaten. They were very accommodating for allergies of individual guests. For our signature drink, I wanted guests to have the option of regular and spicy margaritas and Simply Fresh was able to make it happen!
Wedding Planning: We could not have asked for a better wedding planner than Hillary Clagett! Hillary made wedding planning easy each step of the way. She was in constant communication with me and our other vendors. Whenever I had a question, big or small, she got back to me promptly. On the day of, she made sure everything went smoothly and looked amazing. We can't thank her enough for making our wedding perfect.
We strongly recommend Simply Fresh! -

![Caren]()
Caren Sent on 08/29/2024The best in all categories!
We arranged tastings and quotes from several caterers in the area and Simply Fresh was the one that blew us away with hospitality and quality right away. They were just as excited as we were about designing a menu and tweaking/customizing things to represent us and appease the many preferences and dietary restrictions of our guests. It was like we were planning with our friends! They were also incredibly flexible with our budget and refining every detail through the planning process without sacrificing quality. Since they are an all-inclusive caterer, they made everything incredibly easy with planning and execution. Our only feedback would be that having the planning POCs there on-site the day of would have made everything even more perfect, but all of our guests were impressed and really enjoyed how everything turned out. (We think we did too, but it’s true that it’s hard to remember eating on your wedding day!) -

Cassidy Sent on 06/16/2024Made everything so easy for us!
We are so happy we chose Simply Fresh for our wedding. The staff was kind and professional, and the food was fantastic. Our guests all talked about the quality of the food. They went out of their way to cater to guests with dietary restrictions. They made the process very easy by allowing us to combine rentals and alcohol with them as well. They helped make our wedding day stress-free and special. -

Betty Sent on 05/21/2024A pleasure the whole way through
Simply Fresh catered for ~110 people at our wedding at St. Francis Hall on May 18, 2024. We were absolutely blown away. The food was amazing, the waitstaff incredibly warm and attentive, and everything was seamless.
Leading up to that, the process of working with Brittany and the Simply Fresh Events team was one of the best and easiest parts of our wedding planning process. She was so professional, organized, and experienced.
We seriously cannot recommend them enough! -

Marshall Sent on 01/14/2024Delicious, attractive, & sustainable!
Simply Fresh was great to work with and delivered a fabulous meal for our 150 guests! We needed a menu that was mostly gluten-free, with vegetarian options, accommodating a wide range of food allergies—and with strong sustainability policies. Several caterers were scared off, but not Simply Fresh! They came up with a customized menu that met all our needs and was extremely tasty to boot! The tasting experience at their offices in the spring was a truly delightful experience, and they were great to work with throughout. They also have a partnership with Select Event Rentals, so we were able to get all the customized linens, plates, flatware, etc. that we needed through our catering contract without needing to hire yet another vendor. Simply Fresh lives up to the name—they cook the food in their trucks onsite, so it is all fresh and hot, with the bare minimum of wasted extra food. We also really appreciated Simply Fresh’s focus on using regional, sustainable food and composting all the food waste. The food presentation was extremely classy—it was one of the nicest buffets I’ve seen—and our guests were raving about the food. In short, Simply Fresh is a class act and you can’t go wrong hiring them! -

Our wedding day was wonderful, and a big part of that was thanks to the excellent catering and venue setup. The food and place settings were lovely, combining quality with a charming presentation. We're especially thankful to Brittany for her keen attention to detail and ability to smoothly handle our venue's unique challenges. Her efforts with our planner to ensured everything ran smoothly, which really helped make our day special.

Kate Sent on 10/28/2023Yay Simply Fresh!
Simply Fresh catered our wedding at Brookside Gardens earlier this month (October 2023) and they did an amazing job. We had events at three different locations at the Gardens and Simply Fresh managed to have everything up and running, looking great at each location. The servers were incredibly friendly and attentive to our guests (and to us) and the food was amazing! Simply Fresh was willing to work with us throughout the lead up to the wedding and was very flexible with regards to our budgetary needs. All in all, we had about 125 people at our wedding and we ended up doing a plated dinner (with hors d'oeuvres and bar service) for about $13k. Great value and great service! -

Brandon Sent on 07/22/2023Amazing Caterer and Florals!
We used Simply Fresh as our wedding caterer and our florals. Throughout the whole process, Simply Fresh was amazing! They helped us design the perfect menu for our summer wedding. During our tasting, they incorporated our feedback and made changes to the menu based on our recommendations. We received so many compliments from our wedding guests on how great the food was. In particular, we had a fantastic experience working with Hillary Claggett. Hillary knew our venue inside and out. She made a number of helpful recommendations during our walkthrough, put together a floor plan for us, and made sure we ate during our wedding. We also want to give a special shoutout to all of the bartenders, waiters, and set-up staff from Simply Fresh who were all so kind and helpful on our big day. Finally, we can't say enough great things about the job that Andrea Scoville and Simply Fresh's floral team did to help make our wedding so beautiful. Overall, it was a five-star experience all around and I would highly recommend using Simply Fresh for your wedding. -

Amazing experience with Simply Fresh for our wedding! The entire team from the first contact was friendly and attentive.

Simply Fresh did a wonderful job catering our wedding! They were responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. The day-of went flawlessly - from setup through cocktail hour through dinner and the dessert bar. Many guests remarked on the delicious steak and fish, all cooked on-site by Simply Fresh. We really enjoyed working with a women-owned small business and would highly recommend! Many thanks to Charlotte, Jocelyn, Maya and the rest of the Simply Fresh team! -

Our experience with Simply Fresh Events was simply amazing!! We have nothing but absolute praise for them! From the very beginning, everyone we worked with was SO nice, personable, helpful, communicative - the list goes on and on! We worked with Buffy at the start - and she was so helpful and patient with us trying to finalize our proposal/contract. Later for the day of, we worked with Hillary and she was spectacular! Both were so easy to work with and helped our wedding be stress-free. The food was INCREDIBLE! We got married 6 months ago and we still have people complimenting our food. The menu was completely customizable so you could have it be whatever you wanted. The portions were huge and left people feeling full and happy at the end of dinner. Plus we got to take all leftover food back to the hotel with us! All in all it was a 10000/10 experience! We could not recommend them enough to anyone looking for a caterer!

Laurie Sent on 03/31/2023Delicious food & amazing service!
We hosted a wedding last weekend and chose Simply Fresh to caterer our event. We chose Simply Fresh because they were very familiar with our venue & have done many events both small & large. Maya was our team captain and worth her weight in gold! She took over for us once we signed our contract and was outstanding every step of the way! From our tasting to the event, she communicated exceptionally well and helped make suggestions when we weren't sure. We used their platforms to communicate and their responses were always timely. We decided on food stations and though I was a little hesitant, thinking this would not be as elegant as the venue would warrant, we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and we received many compliments! Maya & her staff were professional, pleasant, & accommodating throughout the entire process and helped us host an amazing event! I highly recommend for a cost-effective event & delicious food! -

Colleen Sent on 03/24/2023Simply Fresh - Amazing Caterer with Great Food!!
Maya and the Simply Fresh Team were absolutely amazing. They showed us the utmost professionalism through and through. From the very beginning when we were searching for a food vendor to the reception itself, the Simply Fresh Team continued to be responsive and so helpful. It's clear that they understand how stressful planning a wedding can be and went out of their way to help me out and make things as easy as possible each and every time. The food was great quality - we had lots of compliments throughout the entire night. I would recommend them to anyone for any event! They really helped make our wedding a night to remember. Thanks, Simply Fresh!! -

Breauna Sent on 12/27/2022So happy we worked with Simply Fresh!
We were introduced to Simply Fresh Events at an open house event at Main Street Ballroom in Ellicott City MD. It was there that we chose our wedding venue and caterer all at the same time. We sampled their food selections both there and at their office and we fell in love! Working with their team was so easy and they were flexible throughout the whole wedding planning process. Our wedding day was perfect and they handled our table, chair and table setting rentals, catering, centerpieces, bar and alcohol. Everything was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for a better team for our special day! Thank you Simply Fresh Events!! -

Katie Sent on 12/13/2022Hire Simply Fresh ASAP!
From our first phone call all the way through the end of our reception Simply Fresh was truly incredible! I love the fact that they cook all their food on site and it was just as fresh at the wedding as it was at our tasting. Simply Fresh Event was so accommodating with all of my family's dietary needs. Knowing that my mom and I both can't eat gluten they ensured that everything at dinner would be 100% gluten free. Usually this does not include the bread so I was so pleasantly surprised when they informed me that I could also eat the dinner rolls at the table. Everyone I worked with at Simply Fresh Events was truly wonderful, but especially Maya who was there throughout the planning process and the wedding. I can't thank Maya and the rest of the team enough for making my wedding the best night. -

Simply Fresh was great to work with from the start to the finish of our wedding journey! Buffy was great to work with building out our menu and Maya was super responsive and executed our event flawlessly.

Cecilia Sent on 09/18/2022Excellent food and flexibility
We had a wedding with 114 people last weekend, and SFE did so well by us! We came to them because we wanted to do a fully vegetarian wedding, and they were also a preferred vendor by our venue. They were the only caterer that we did a tasting with, and we were sold! We knew they would be able to provide great vegetarian food that even our meat-eating guests would enjoy. For appetizers, we had ginger-carrot wontons, panzanella skewers, squash and goat cheese flatbreads, a mezze spread, and a cheese plate. For dinner, we had garlicky green beans, cauliflower steak with cashew cream sauce, vegetarian moussaka, cheddar biscuits, and a herby orzo salad. Dessert was mini-pies and some unbelievably good baklava!
Hillary, Charlotte, and the SFE team were easy to work with, thorough, and responsive. Hillary, our coordinator, double-checked with me to make sure even the smallest details were right. On the day of the wedding, Lexi was super communicative and super organized, even though rain meant that we had to move the ceremony indoors and her team had reorganize the main room during cocktail hour. The day was super smooth and worry-free.
I would highly recommend the SFE team, especially if you're doing a vegetarian wedding! -

Simply Fresh was great--my wife commented that the food was actually good--unlike most standard wedding food--and tasted just like it did at our tasting. The made to order pupusas at the cocktail hour were a big hit!
