    October 7th Wedding in the Gardens

    Kim James and her Six Star Team are beyond 6 stars. Our October 7th wedding could not have been more perfect, the food, the service, the cocktail hour were all beautifully orchestrated by Kim and her team. The best part was choosing someone who knew the event space, Historic Glen Burnie House and Gardens, that dealt with all the rentals, tent included, helping to make it a magical night. Thank you Kim for your attention to detail and wealth of knowledge, you guided us through the most perfect day/

    Wonderful Food & Service

    Kim was very responsive from day one and she helped craft our menu and even made a few tweaks to a recipe to accommodate our vegan guests. The process was seamless and professional. Additionally, her team planned with me and then took ownership over place settings which was a huge help with set up. Moreover though, the food was phenomenal. I still crave those mashed potatoes!

    Delicious food and wonderful service!

    Six Star helped make our daughter’s wedding reception perfect. Everyone agreed the food was delicious! The presentation was lovely, and everything ran smoothly. Kim and her staff were courteous, efficient and professional. Kim was helpful with making necessary accommodations due to COVID. SO glad we had them on our team for our daughter’s special day!!

    One of the BEST wedding caterers

    Choosing Kim and the Six Star team as your caterer is one of the best decisions you can make! Your food service will be flawless and delicious. We have worked with the Six Star team for many weddings and from a vendor perspective, I can tell you they have a hard-earned reputation of delivery for each and every couple. There will always be little things that don't go quite right at an event but the couple will never know, Kim is THAT good! Choose Six Star and let Kim work her magic!

    Exceptional meal, exceptional service, extremely professional

    The team at Six Star Events catered the PERFECT fresh, farm-to-table meal for my mother's surprise, (and socially distanced) 70th birthday celebration! Our guests continue to rave about the food. From the proposal process to the delivery day, I did not worry about a thing regarding the food. Kim and Haley James made everything so easy and stress-free. All the dishes were delivered chilled (it was almost 90 degrees that day!), labeled and ready to serve. Haley iced the almond-raspberry cupcakes on site so the icing wouldn't melt during transit. Everything was absolutely amazing and just what I had in mind when I told Kim I was aiming for an "elevated picnic dinner." I highly recommend Six Star Events and I can't wait to hire them again!

    Six Star Events LLC 8.22 Perfect Wedding

    And Kim and Six Star events does it again! She has now catered for both my daughter's weddings and this year the rehearsal as well. The 8.22 wedding was perfect and Kim had so much to do with that. From placing the rental orders, elegantly dressing the tables, creating a timeline, to coordinating the air conditioning and most importantly, alleviating stress during these Covid times, we could not have done it without her. She and her staff went above and beyond, individually plating appetizers and taking every precaution to have a beautiful and safe wedding. The food was delicious as always and the presentation is a true work of art. Her passion in serving her clients and her dedication to the industry is extraordinary. Anyone looking to host an event large or small, Six Star Events is your answer. Blessed to have her for the most important day in my daughters' lives.

    Flawless Food Served by True Professionals

    Kim James and her professional, well-trained Six Star team were so easy to work with while planning our daughter's wedding. When planning a once-in-a-lifetime event, catering is everything. I got to be a guest at our event, because her team had everything handled, from the floor plan for the tent, food choices and preparation to presentation and cleanup, these folks are the ultimate experienced professionals that you want on your team of wedding vendors. As the Mother of the Bride, I will be forever grateful to this fabulous team for allowing me the freedom to focus on my family that day.

    The TOP Choice in the Shenandoah Valley

    I hired Six Star Events for my October 5th wedding -- Not only were the staff so professional that everything was taken care of without it being painfully apparent that things were being taken care of (if you've witnessed wait staff slowly and painstakingly clearing dishes, you know what I mean), the food was SO GOOD! I had a wonderful Antipasti Station with a plethora of gourmet, select cheeses, cured meats, marinated vegetables, housemade pickled tri-colored carrots, a variety of gourmet breads... YUM. Everyone was impressed. I also chose to have BBQ fare because everyone loves barbecue...and love it they did. I had Korean BBQ Chicken that was moist and flavorful; traditional Country-Style Green Beans; rich and creamy Scalloped Potatoes, and housemade purple cabbage Coleslaw. I can't say enough about the food and the service. I also want to add that Kim kept me on track for when I needed to be places--from hands-off on the decor setup (because I chose to do handle some wedding decor on my own) to walking down the aisle with my mom. She checked on me all night, too, to make sure I had what I needed. Kim knows what she's doing--trust her

    Perfection in Catering and Personnel

    Kim James and her family (that’s what they are) a family that just happens to cater amazing events. The food was amazing from the meatballs, cheese platter (the blue cheese just melted in my mouth) to the chicken and steak! The main dishes were wonderful, the chicken tender and juicy, and the steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly! The mash potatoes and mac and cheese, I’ve heard from everyone that it was the best! These were a special request from the Bride – who also love them! Some of the young adult guest were a bit confused about the green beans – they were what I call elevated green beans - vinaigrette, so tasty and crisp – they were perfect. The bartenders were great handling a crowd of over 200, and two-thirds of them were “Irish”, and enjoy a few drinks. No one wanted for anything, it was a buffet, but they took the time to bring not only to the Bride and Groom, but to my father, his friend and other guests so they wouldn’t have to get in the line. My daughter’s wedding wouldn’t have been the same with any other caterer, I personally as well as all my guests highly “recommend” Kim James and her family to cater their events. I know they are my one and only cater on my list for future events. Thanks again Kim (Six Star Event, LLC, Winchester, VA)

    Kim James and her staff are amazing! Every attention to detail was considered. Six Star events did our daughter’s wedding and the people were still talking about the food 13 years later. So when daughter #3 was getting married we knew Kim was our caterer. Such a sweet and kind patient person and was willing to work with all budget and other issues of having a wedding at home. Her food displays and setting the table as the bride had envisioned were beautiful . She covered the faux pas of the florists using dollar store candles instead of dipoles ( not even going to mention their names) She grilled Garlic rosemary flank steak on site which totally sold my husband. He was typical George Banks father of the bride first time but this time he relaxed and knew he was in good hands and that Kim was worth every penny spent. Can’t say enough good things about her. I would highly recommend Six Star Events. Just love Kim James and her staff.

    I don't think I can say enough about Kim and her amazing team. The food was impeccable, the service the day of was extraordinary, and without her instrumental help during the planning I would have had no idea which end was up and surely would have forgotten something major in the planning. She cued me to think of so many things throughout the process to make sure my day was perfect and her team could help me out as best as they possibly could. Not only was she an excellent caterer but generally an excellent source to help plan and deliver the best event possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Kim and Six Star Events to someone planning a wedding or any large event for that matter. Her pricing was fair and she is easy to work with on the budget you have in mind. And honestly, my husband and I still talk about the maitre'd and how she made our entire night... never an empty drink to be had!

    Six Star Events came highly recommended to us for our wedding, and we chose them based on their reputation, reasonable prices, and delightful-sounding menu options. Besides taste, presentation is really important to me when it comes to food, and Six Star was able to nail exactly what I was looking for. They used fresh, colorful ingredients and were willing to incorporate fruit from my family’s orchard (and venue) into their recipes. That added a personalized touch to our meal that was much appreciated and very cool. We opted to do food “stations” as opposed to a typical sit-down meal or buffet line, and that worked really well in our venue. Kim and her staff were extremely professional and courteous…we were personally checked on multiple times throughout the night to make sure we had everything we wanted or needed. Everyone was such a pleasure to work with and the meal service progressed flawlessly. Many of our pictures were taken during cocktail hour, and they were thoughtful enough to (thankfully) bring us trays of appetizers so we didn’t miss out on any of them! All of the food was absolutely DELICIOUS, and I would happily recommend Six Star to anyone looking for a top-notch event caterer.

    Kim is so great to work with and EVERYONE at our wedding said it was the best wedding food they had ever had!! The grilled flank steak with horseradish cream was absolutely superb (so good that everyone went back for seconds, and thirds!). I am in the wedding industry and wanted to DIY a lot of the day, Kim was very flexible and helped me make everything work! I highly recommend using Six Star for your catering (and Kim also provide event coordination and rentals).

    We have heard great things about Six Star Events for several years, and Kim is the first person we went to when my daughter became engaged. What we found particularly impressive about Six Star Events was Kim's creativity and patience in dealing with a venue which was completely outdoors, and had never been used before for a wedding. The layout and setup of the tent and cocktail area was ingenious. Our guests raved about the beautiful site and setup. When we ran into power issues the week before the wedding, Kim's experience and patience helped us get through the details. And, as other reviewers have mentioned, the food was outstanding; my sister-in-law, who frequently goes to weddings, said it was among the best she had tasted.

    Kim and her staff were a pleasure to work with throughout the process up until the day of our wedding! My husband and I also love that Kim supports local farmers!

    Kim and her staff were very responsive to emails and quick at getting us set up with a tasting and then providing a contract along with making updates to the menu.

    My husband and I were so impressed by the quality of her food at the tasting but based on other weddings we've been to were a bit nervous about what the food was going to be like on site with a larger number of people. The day of the wedding we were blown away by the quality of the food and how well prepared it was and so were our guests!

    During the cocktail hour, our photos took longer than anticipate and I was worried about missing out on the food. The Six Star staff made sure to bring the appetizers to us so we got a chance to eat before dinner!

    We received so many compliments from guests about how it was the best wedding food they had ever had, and my husband and I agree!

    Not only is the food amazing but Kim and her staff are also so genuine and flexible to work with. You can tell how passionate they are about their work.

    We were also pleasantly surprised that the Six Star staff generously provided us with boxes of left over food to send us home with which was much appreciated!

    If you are looking for excellent service and delicious food, choose Six Star!

    We worked with Kim James for our wedding in June and absolutely loved the whole experience. Six Star is the catering service included in the wedding package at Veramar Vineyard, where we got married. She was super flexible and willing to work with us on the colors for our linens, in every iteration we gave her. The final product was beautiful table settings, professional staff and absolutely amazing food. We only wish we could have had one of every dish they prepare :)

    Kim James & Six Star Catering were the perfect choice for my son's wedding last weekend in Middleburg. They worked hard to help us come up with a delicious menu that fit our budget (don't miss the parsnip pancakes, the penne with cream sauce and the roasted beef tenderloin — so good!), and went above and beyond on the day of the reception with attentive and very personal service. Kim was on site through the entire event to make sure everything went flawlessly, and her staff introduced themselves to the families by name and made sure we never wanted for anything. Rhiannon and Roxanne, in particular, were wonderful ... even seeking out the grandmothers to be sure they had drinks and nibbles during the cocktail hour. We can't thank you enough, Six Star!

    Kim, Sarah and the rest of the staff at Six Star were amazing. They catered our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. I HIGHLY recommend their services.

    Six Star was recommended to us by our venue, and we are ever so thankful to have found them. We communicated via email as we live out of state, and Kim was always prompt, informative and friendly. She was honest in the costs, helped me to stick to our budget and made amazing recommendations and suggestions. She is rational and flexible as well and was more than happy to help us figure out how to provide our own alcohol to save costs, and worked with a family friend to create the dessert bar for the items our family and friends baked.

    I had not had the opportunity to do a tasting, and yet I wasn't even worried about how the food would taste. I trusted Kim and her staff - which is a hard thing to do. I was not disappointed. The rehearsal dinner and our wedding lunch reception was delicious. Her staff was incredibly professional, clean and quick. One of her staff, Sarah, made great suggestions to help our cake cutting and general timeline flow smoothly. We could not have been happier with the services we received.

    If you are looking for amazing value, look no further, you've found it. Thank you so, so much Six Star for making our day taste delicious!

    Unbeatable prices and the tastiest food I've ever had at a wedding. The staff was unbelievable - I don't think they stopped giving 110% once. They were flexible and worked with our favors and signature items (which we provided), and even added a few extras on the day of the event. We enjoyed our leftovers with zeal!

    Kim at six star was amazing, I only had about 3 months to plan my wedding and she pulled everything together wonderfully! She responded to my crazy emails at all hours of the day and night and made my vision for the perfect reception a reality! Her food is AMAZING! It was so convieniant that the event rentals and the catering were all in the same place. She even put my mother at ease about a quick wedding which was no easy task. Kim made everything so simple. I was sad that she couldn't actually be at my even because of a family thing but everything went off without a hitch anyway. The cake that they made was beautifully decorated and was the most delicious thing ever! If you want a wonderful event that is well thought out and sure to please everyone, use six star!!!!

    Thank you.  I absolutely LOVED EVERYTHING about the food service and
    catering at my wedding.  Your company is fantastic, your team is
    delightful, and truly the wedding was a fantastic event for everyone
    including me because of the professionalism of your staff.  I organize
    events for a living, my work has me overseas handling the visits of folks
    like the President of the United States and other high ranking US
    officials - so I have seen events catered correctly and when it goes
    HORRIBLY wrong.

    There were three aspects to your company's catering services that merit
    recognition - first you are organized and detail oriented.  That helped
    me to focus on the theme/overall feel of the event which is an excellent
    division of labor between the host and the caterer!  Second, your staff
    seem to genuinely love their work and like doing a great job.  That is
    not easy to find, you have great people and I hope our small tip conveyed
    our appreciation for the kindness and thoroughness of their efforts.
    Lastly, your team made me feel like a princess that night, checking on
    me, filling my water glass.  That level of detail is so appreciated
    particularly by an 8 month pregnant bride!  I really felt like I could
    sit back and enjoy the event instead of managing your team and that is
    fantastic.  I will always recommend you whenever the chance arises... and
    I hope it does soon.

    Thank you. I absolutely LOVED EVERYTHING about the food service and catering at my wedding. Six Star is fantastic, the team is delightful, and truly the wedding was a fantastic event for everyone including me because of the professionalism of the staff. I organize events for a living, my work has me overseas handling the visits of folks like the President of the United States and other high ranking US officials - so I have seen events catered correctly and when it goes HORRIBLY wrong.

    There were three aspects to Six Star's catering services that merit recognition - first the team is organized and detail oriented. That helped me to focus on the theme/overall feel of the event which is an excellent division of labor between the host and the caterer! Second, the staff seem to genuinely love their work and like doing a great job. That is not easy to find, Six Star has great people. Lastly, the team made me (the bride) feel like a princess that night, checking on me, filling my water glass. That level of detail is so appreciated particularly by an 8 month pregnant bride! I really felt like I could sit back and enjoy the event instead of manage your team and that is fantastic. I will always recommend you whenever the chance arises... and I hope it does soon.

    I would never have had my wedding at the venue I chose had it not been for Kim James. I was very nervous about having the wedding there without at least a day-of coordinator, but when you hire Six Star Catering, you get Kim James as a wedding planner. Kim put me at ease as soon as I met with her. Kim is very nice, always answered my emails incredibly quickly, and is very well-organized. She handled all the rentals for my wedding, including the tent. Kim also has a genuine enthusiasm for event planning; she seemed almost as excited about my wedding as I was, and I really appreciated that. In addition to the phenomenal Kim, the food that Six Star Catering prepared was delicious. I received so many compliments from guests, and they all wanted seconds. I highly recommend Six Star Catering to any bride!
