Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Simply Fresh!
Simply Fresh Events was recommended to us by our venue as a preferred vendor. Since our venue did not have an on-site kitchen, choosing from the preferred vendor list was even more imperative. We went to about five catering tastings, and Simply Fresh Events blew everyone else out of the water! Not only was the food by Chef Katie delicious, Buffy, Katie and Nicole, our event planner, were so welcoming and informative, answering any and all questions we had. They made the decision incredibly easy!
When we made the decision to postpone our October 2020 wedding, Nicole was supportive every step of the way and talked us through the decision, offering any input and advice she could. Nicole and the Simply Fresh Events team worked quickly with us to secure a new date and made a seemingly daunting decision much less stressful.
Throughout our wedding planning experience, Nicole was there for anything we needed. Her knowledge, advice, and calm reassurance was indispensable to us. I think we said, "I don't know what we'd do without Nicole," over 100 times in the months leading to our October 2021 wedding! Every step of the way, from months out through the reception, Nicole went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. We also ended up using Simply Fresh Events for our wedding cake and receptions florals, both of which turned out amazing!
Chef Katie's food at our wedding was just as delicious as I remembered from our tasting (over a year and a half before our postponed wedding). We received many compliments on the cocktail hour menu and the plated dinner!
Overall, from our experience, Simply Fresh Events knows the wedding, event and catering industry inside and out, and are experts in their field. Just as importantly, the people that make up Simply Fresh Events are kind, fun, passionate, want the best for their clients, and will do whatever they can to make that happen. I am so grateful to Simply Fresh Events and their team, and can't recommend them more!

Simply the Best!
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!

Amazing experience with Simply Fresh for our wedding! The entire team from the first contact was friendly and attentive. The food is absolutely amazing and they will work with you to get you exactly what you want for everything, and don't mind when you change your mind a few times like we did! We worked with Brittany and she made sure every detail of our wedding was perfect, she made the day of stress free for us! Could not recommend working with this team more! You won't regret it!

Simply Fresh catered our wedding at Brookside Gardens in MD. It was a great experience working with them from the beginning: Charlotte provided a compelling proposal with reasonable pricing; We had an enjoyable tasting with Chef Katie where we customized our menu; Maya and Celine provided great planning and on-site coordination and were able to fulfill all of our requests. Our guests told us that the staff were very polite, friendly, and professional. Overall, the service was above and beyond and we would 100% recommend them.

They take care of your needs!
Searching for a catering was much more difficult than I thought. I had multiple caterers who took a long time to respond, never responded, or just missed scheduled calls with me. Simply Fresh was the exact opposite of that. I filled out their form online, and the very next day, one of their staff people (Charlotte) called me. From there on out, they were extremely responsive and helpful without being pushy.
Next, we had a tasting, and we were so impressed by their food and their flexibility in changing up menu items. After that tasting, we knew there was no comparison to the other caterers we'd been in contact with. They are such professionals, and they guided us along the way. By the time the wedding day came, we were confident that they had the day covered for us., and of course, they delivered. I can't recommend them enough!

Delicious 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!

Simply 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!!

You should have hired them yesterday!
Working with the Simply Fresh Events team was one of the best decisions we made when wedding planning. From the initial call with Buffy, to the countless back and forth emails/chats with Jocelyn and Maya, and culminating with our perfectly executed wedding with the help of Brittany and Rose, I cannot recommend this company more. We're two weeks out from our wedding and still getting comments about how great the food was and how great the staff were. Every special food requested was respected and honored; my sister-in-law has many dietary restrictions and Simply Fresh made sure she didn't go hungry at the wedding. Hire them for your wedding, your next big event or even just when you don't want to cook- you will not regret it. I adore this company.

Hire 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.

Great Wedding Catering Experience
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. Great value for their price, and we received so many compliments about how great the food tasted and how beautiful the setup was. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

Simply Wonderful
Simply Fresh was simply wonderful. When the bride and bridegroom selected Simply Fresh, after their tasting, they knew the food would be excellent. What they really didn’t understand was that they would also enjoy such great event planning. Everyone at Simply Fresh was very knowledgeable and efficient, as well as experienced with the ins and outs of the venue. They were sensitive to and sensible about accommodating all our preferences. They helped make the wedding a beautiful, meaningful, and fun mixture of our extended families’ different cultures and traditions. We highly recommend them.

Simply fresh is simply AMAZING!
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!

Excellent 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!

I have been a wedding planner in the industry for about 10 years. I had the pleasure of working with Simply Fresh Events for the first time this past May. From the moment I sent my first email inquiry, to the tasting and of course the wedding day - the whole team was amazing! Hillary, was especially great as I worked closely with her to make our clients day amazing. I would highly recommend them for your next event!

A First-rate Experience!
We had a first-rate experience working with the Simply Fresh Events team. The food was outstanding at our informal, 60-person welcome/rehearsal dinner and guests loved the poke bowl, pasta and quesadillas stations. Our Simply Fresh Events team, led by Hillary Clagett, was responsive, experienced and gave us confidence that the gathering would be wonderful. The same team handled the formal wedding reception the next day for 100 people with a deliciously prepared surf & turf menu (scallops and filet mignon.) We highly recommend Simply Fresh Events.

The Perfect Wedding
Our wedding reception was literally perfect thanks to Simply Fresh!
All of our guests really enjoyed the food from appetizers, salmon or braised beef for dinner and cute mini desserts! Not to mention a great open bar with tons of options!
Working with SF was extremely easy. They were always available to talk to and making changes to our contract and what we needed was simple!
I HIGHLY recommend using them to plan your next event!
Thank you to the whole team for making our wedding so wonderful!!!

Amazing Food, Down to Earth People, Incredible Service
If you do a tasting, you know Simply Fresh's food is amazing. But where they truly differentiate themselves is their customer service. We had to move both our date (twice) and venue - and Simply Fresh was there every step of the way. We worked with Hillary who was so knowledgeable, optimistic, and always had a can-do attitude. We had such a great experience over the 2+ years of planning, that we ended up using them for our rehearsal dinner as well - which was a totally different vibe - but same amazing service and food.
I can't say enough about the people of Simply Fresh - it felt like they were both friends and vendors for our whole weekend.

A great vendor decision
Simply Fresh was referred to us by our venue and they were perfect! Throughout the process, they were informative, helpful, and responsive. They had so many moving pieces to keep track of on our wedding day and they made it all run smoothly. We loved the suggestions they gave on the menu as well as our outdoor ceremony seating. The food was great and the wait staff was attentive.

Simply Fresh is simply the best!
Simply Fresh was the perfect catering and event planning vendor for our wedding. Our coordinator, Christa, was responsive, flexible, and easy going. She made sure to honor our vision and vibe for the wedding and helped it comes to life. Our guests could not stop talking about how great the food and service was for our wedding, they still talk about it weeks later. Simply Fresh created the exact menu we wanted for our wedding, including sourcing local ingredients from specific vendors, and everything was delicious. They also helped us source the tent, linens, portable bathrooms, and party buses - which was a HUGE help and minimized the coordinating on my end. I would highly recommend hiring them for a wedding or any other event. They won’t disappoint!
