    Highly Recommend! Best Vendor We Hired

    Tasteful Affairs Catering is incredible to work with and their food is delicious! I booked them to do full service catering (rentals, bar, dinner) for our September 2022 wedding in Old Town Alexandria and they did a beautiful job. I don't even know where to start - from our first quote, to planning the menu, to the walk through, to day of execution and quality of food, they were flawless. This mother daughter team is incredibly organized, kind and their food is delicious (guests are still giving us compliments on how good the food was). Emilie Jackson was so responsive - she truly felt like an unofficial, second wedding planner with her quick responses, organization and flexibility. Tasteful Affairs Catering was careful to work within our budget and only add on charges if we specifically asked. Their estimates were very transparent, affordable, accurate and there were no hidden fees or surprise expenses on the wedding day. They were so careful with dietary restrictions (my guests were so impressed they knew who was gluten free, vegetarian, etc) and their vegetarian, gluten free options, etc were just as delicious as the primary main course. If I ever cater an event again, there is no question I would immediately book them! I honestly wish I could eat our wedding meal tonight, it was that good (and I had the vegetarian option). Highly, highly recommend! It will be the best decision you make for your wedding day.

    Linda Harkness is the owner of Tasteful Affairs Catering. Linda wanted everything to be perfect for our daughter's wedding She came as close as humanly possible. The food was great, the set up was smooth and everything was beautiful. All of our vendors said that Linda was easy to work with and coordination was easy. We highly recommend Tasteful Affairs Catering. Our son will be getting married in 2017 and will be using Tasteful Affairs Catering.

    I used Tasteful Affairs for my November 20, 2010 wedding at the GW Memorial. I can’t say enough good things about Tasteful Affairs. Linda and Jin are excellent and very familiar with the venue. The food was out of this world and for the price it was even more amazing. We still get compliments about the food at our wedding to this day. We were just at a wedding a few weekends ago where they had a make your own pasta bar and the guests that were at our wedding nearly 2 years ago made a point to tell us how much better the one at our was. I was certainly not looking for that, but I think it really speaks to the quality of food you are getting with Tasteful Affairs. They are the only company I would ever recommend for an event. We had a such a wonderful experience with them and felt the event was managed great and the food was even better than the tasting (and that was the best food we had tasted in the whole tasting process). You cannot go wrong in having them be your caterer.

    Tasteful Affairs Catering Helped us have a perfect wedding!

    A Tasteful Affairs Catering and Linda was so great to work with. Our venue who closed kept telling us they would reopen. With less than 45 days out from our wedding we had to replace everything.  Linda was so flexible and supportive through the whole process. In addition to all her help putting together a whole new wedding plan the food was amazing! Everyone raved about the food . We have delicious lamb lollipops, tuna skewers, and these amazing potato bacon balls people talked about weeks later. And the beef with gorgonzola sauce and rockfish were so flavorful. Linda and her staff were great about taking extra precautions for the health and safety of our guests. And everything went smoothly and off without a hitch!   TAC and Linda helped insure we had a perfect little wedding! We would recommend them for wedding catering or any event.

    The Tasteful Affairs team was the caterer for our wedding. They were all professional, efficient, and we received many comments that the food was impeccable. Linda was kind and helpful every step of the way. Overall a great experience.

    Wonderful experience, would use again in a heartbeat.

    We were incredibly fortunate to have Linda and Tasteful Affairs cater our wedding at the Athenaeum. Linda provided us with a ton of individual counseling to ease our worries and was there every step of the way, including on the big day itself (she actually went out to make sure we had something to eat during all the pre-reception pictures with a plate of delicious appetizers). The food was delectable, the lamb chops were my favorite, and the bride adored the fried mac'n'cheese balls. Her staff's professionalism, attention to detail, and decorum made our wedding charming and refined. She accommodate all of our special needs including our custom mixed drink selection, guests' food sensitivities, and our particular tastes in food. We couldn't be happier to have chosen Tasteful Affairs and would recommend them highly to anyone considering a high class wedding caterer at a quite reasonable price. We continue to receive compliments on our wedding food and presentation even a month afterwards!
