  Such a Treat

  The Catering Outfit was one of the highlights of our wedding for us and our guests. The food provided was absolutely amazing. We had a fantastic grazing board for cocktail hour and the bartenders were efficient with circulating our cocktail and pouring wine.
  They provided us with a mini-grazing board for immediately after the ceremony so we could have a few moments to ourselves while still making sure we ate some food. The professionalism of all the staff was fantastic.
  We had a number of guests that were vegetarian or vegan and TCO provided multiple meal options to cater to their dietary needs while being delicious. Many of our guests commented to us during the evening and after the fact that they appreciated the care and respect that was given to their meal.
  Overall the level of food was 11/10, but I cannot say enough about the late night biscuits. We almost did not add them and I am SO glad we did. It was the perfect hit of salt at the end of the evening and a week later I still have friends and family asking about them.
  Cannot recommend TCO more for the wedding weekend. They were wonderful to work with and really provided the best service and food.

  Delightful experience

  
  TCO was top notch to work with. The food at our wedding was phenomenal and guests reached out afterwards to tell us how good it was. They even worked with us to integrate syrup from blackberries my father in law grew into our cocktails, which was such a fun touch at our event.
  
  In the Charlottesville area their quote came out higher than our other vendors but was also the most honest of the quotes. All the other caterers in the area left off important rental items such as “ silverware” and “the things needed to actually cook the meal you want”.
  
  I highly recommend them, we had such a great wedding day!

  Highly Recommend TCO

  The Catering Outfit did a more than fantastic job with my wedding. Not only was all the food amazing, the team worked with a great deal of professionalism. The pre wedding approach couldn't have been smoother and communication about all aspects of the event were answered. They handled all of the dietary restrictions for our guests without any issue and made sure every detail and request was catered to. The food and service the day of was amazing - our guests keep saying how impressed they were and how great the food was. I highly recommend TCO.

  The Best Wedding Food We've Ever Had

  I could not say enough good things about Courtney and TCO. Throughout the year long process of planning the full catering, rentals, and day of planning for our wedding she was incredibly patient, thorough, collaborative, knowledgeable, and funny! She is very professional and you can tell she really cares and loves what she does. There were so many little things she thought of that made our day go smoothly/lives easier. She gave us insightful advice on some of the bigger decisions as well. She was always available to answer questions and went above and beyond to provide recommendations and guidance. I would hire Courtney and TCO again in a heartbeat and if you have the opportunity to work with them, you should without hesitation. TCO: The initial tasting was amazing and they provided an extensive list of options beforehand. They were flexible with dietary restrictions and even with small alterations to menu options. The food itself was delicious, outstanding, best food I've ever had at a wedding. That's why we picked them, they catered a friend's wedding before ours and we were blown away. They were also great with working with the venue itself and their staff.

  What more can you ask for?

  The Catering Outfit was a clear choice for our wedding at Mount Fair Vineyard. When we scheduled our tasting, it couldn't have gone any better with Frank. Professional, fun, organized, etc. Everything tasted amazing, we had our entire menu picked out within a few hours.
  
  There's a few other benefits working with The Catering Outfit. One is they have a great relationship with MS Events (Rentals) so they can handle all the contracts together and you can have confidence that everything will run smoothly. Another is the volume of staff they bring with them. There had to have been 15-20 people across the property setting up, cooking, serving, bartending, cleaning, etc. They left the venue spotless, were dressed and operated as professionals and served amazing food.
  
  People will tell you that no one will remember what they ate at your wedding. I certainly did though, and we certainly got a ton of complements on the food that was served! And what people will definitely remember is the quality of service and professionalism. On that front, we were covered and then some.
  
  I cannot stress enough, WORK WITH A FULL SERVICE CATERER. We had originally planned to work with a caterer who was not full service and quickly discovered how many tiny responsibilities are covered when you work with a true full-service caterer.
  
  All in all, couldn't have asked for a better catering partner for the biggest weekend of our lives so far. Thank you Frank and Courtney!!!!!!!

  Extremely high quality catering and event planning

  My wife and I worked with Makayla Baxter(our day-of coordinator) and The Catering Outfit(TCO) for our wedding. TCO has mastered the art of elegant, unique, and delicious catering options. The aesthetics and details of the food seems like it should be unparalleled, but just wait until you actually taste it! They offered a free tasting of our final selection of meals for us and our loved ones, which was a great experience.
  
  The day of our wedding was truly perfect! The catering team even prepared a honeymoon kit with tasty treats for us. The staff were delightful and multiple guests commented on the friendliness and joyful energy of the bartenders.
  Makayla worked tirelessly to ensure everything was perfect. She is experienced and knowledgeable and completely capable of making all the appropriate decisions, however she is extremely considerate of what the clients are looking for when making decisions. She helped keep us on task in the time leading up to the wedding and she handled literally everything on the wedding day. She is professional and dependable, but also fun to work with. I really cannot say enough positive things about this entire experience! We are truly grateful to this team.

  Outstanding, Amazing, and Perfect

  The Catering Outfit and Courtney are beyond amazing! A couple years ago we went to a wedding that was catered by TCO and planned by Courtney. After tasting their delicious food and drinks and seeing how flawless and beautiful the wedding was, we knew we wanted them for our special day.
  
  Our food was beyond incredible and signature drinks were fresh, unique, and a BIG hit. Our family and friends are still talking about our food and drinks. The TCO team provided outstanding service. Everyone we worked with was professional, friendly, and accommodated all of our wishes and needs.
  
  Courtney is the best! She made the stressful planning experience easy and enjoyable. She was always available to answered any questions we had and went above and beyond to provide recommendations and guidance. Courtney took all my random ideas and created the most beautiful ceremony, reception space, and wedding. Her attention to detail and organization truly made our day perfect.
  
  This team exceeded all of our expectations and we cannot thank and say enough about them!

  Wedding ♥️

  The Catering Outfit was a wonderful company to work with for our wedding. As a planner, Courtney was absolutely amazing to work with. She was so in tune with our specific needs and made us feel so taken care of and special. During go time, she was somehow on every little detail at once, while also celebrating with us. She was also very organized and easy to work with during the entire planning process. The Catering Outfit staff who worked our wedding were accommodating and personal and took care of everything. Everyone loved the bar and bar service. The passed apps were perfect for us and our guests and we’re unique and so yummy. We got chicken satay, bacon wrapped dates, whipped feta bites on cucumber and rockfish pate. Everything was delicious! We love The Catering Outfit!

  Fantastic, Flawless Experience!

  We recently had the Catering Outfit cater our daughters wedding and it was a fantastic experience. Courtney Hildebrand had to be the most organized, efficient and thoughtful planner/caterer we have ever worked with. She and her staff (Honorable mention Star, the bar captain) attended to every detail and then some. Absolutely everything was done according to plan. The set up was fantastic, the food plentiful and delicious, and the organization perfect. We didn't need to worry about any detail because Courtney and her staff took care of everything. The day was flawless. 5 stars is not enough!

  10/10 again and again!

  Our entire wedding planning experience and wedding day was made possible, special, and memorable thanks to TCO. From the back and forth emails, to design and rental meetings, to our excellent and special tasting, to their thoughtful and above and beyond special touches, to the perfection of our day…I truly cannot thank TCO enough for running our day so perfectly. We got so many compliments on our food and cocktails and guests were raving about the lamb meatballs and Mexican street corn in specific. Everything that TCO touched and did was spectacular and above and absolutely beyond. I would hire them and recommend them again and again. I only feel sad now that I don’t get to work with them any longer, because I truly just cherished our time working together and thank them for all they did for us. To TCO, we love and adore you, and are so thankful we got to have you for our day !!!

  Best food ever!

  Cannot recommend TCO enough! We got married in May, and the whole process with TCO was great start to finish! My husband and I both have dietary restrictions, and they were incredibly accommodating, and had so many delicious options. We ended up going with a plated dinner, and had so many people tell us that the food was amazing after the wedding. The service was also incredible, from the passing of drinks and apps during cocktail hour, to the final late night snacks, everything ran smoothly. We also had our day/month-of coordinator through TCO and could not recommend Courtney more, she truly made our day run seamlessly. We would choose TCO in a heartbeat if we were to do it all over again!

  Great job, TCO!

  We recently worked with TCO as the caterer for a family wedding reception held at home. They were wonderful! If we were to do it all over again, we would use the exact same team. Telia and Courtney assisted us with the planning of the reception (where TCO provided the food) and with rentals for two additional events held that weekend. First, we were delighted with the amazing food (which is what got them the job at the initial wedding tasting meeting), but in the end, we were equally impressed with their careful attention to every detail. When an event is held at home, there is no infrastructure on which to rely. Everything must be arranged from tents to bathrooms, from kitchen equipment to table settings, from lighting to sound to flowers - it is a big undertaking! Thanks to the pros at TCO, everything that went on under the tent was perfect - which allowed our wedding coordinator (who was also superb!) to focus on another miriad of details. Everyone did their jobs so very well - it is phenomenal what TCO and our other vendors were able to do with what was essentially a big field. As mentioned, TCO handled the specifics of our rentals for all three events, a rehearsal dinner, the reception and a brunch - with zero mistakes - everything we needed and nothing we did not. We absolutely needed their guidance in making sensible choices, and they had the experience we were looking for. The logistics were intense, and we had no worries as far as TCO was concerned. TCO was the core of our team, along with our wedding coordinator, and they were all invaluable in the planning process. Then when it came time to show up and make it happen, everything they touched happend as planned. Absolutley delicious food, fantastic service and friendly people - when you are surrounded by such deep experience and competence it is a wonderful feeling - it gave us comfort and confidence. I am so impressed with their focus on our plan, and the care taken at our property. The little things can become the big things at an event such as ours - and we have nothing but praise for the way TCO handled the event and worked with all the other folks involved - from bartenders to cake and pie bakers and a food truck providing late night snack, to florists, to the tent and lighting folks - they do this all the time and it shows. I hope this review coveys our deepest thanks to a wonderful, expert team who delivered everything they promised at every juncture. Almost makes me want to have another party .. :-) You can really trust these folks with yours!

  We recently worked with TCO as the caterer for a family wedding reception held at home. They were wonderful! If we were to do it all over again, we would use the exact same team. Telia and Courtney assisted us with the planning of the reception (where TCO provided the food) and with rentals for two additional events held that weekend. First, we were delighted with the amazing food (which is what got them the job at the initial wedding tasting meeting), but in the end, we were equally impressed with their careful attention to every detail. When an event is held at home, there is no infrastructure on which to rely. Everything must be arranged from tents to bathrooms, from kitchen equipment to table settings, from lighting to sound to flowers - it is a big undertaking! Thanks to the pros at TCO, everything that went on under the tent was perfect - which allowed our wedding coordinator (who was also superb!) to focus on another miriad of details. Everyone did their jobs so very well - it is phenomenal what TCO and our other vendors were able to do with what was essentially a big field. As mentioned, TCO handled the specifics of our rentals for all three events, a rehearsal dinner, the reception and a brunch - with zero mistakes - everything we needed and nothing we did not. We absolutely needed their guidance in making sensible choices, and they had the experience we were looking for. The logistics were intense, and we had no worries as far as TCO was concerned.

  Service, Class, Quality, Coordination - Unbeatable!

  TCO catered our wedding last weekend and I cannot recommend this company highly enough. We have received so many compliments on the food and drinks - people loved the black walnut old fashioned and figgy mule! The passed apps were plentiful and delicious, the service was professional and courteous all around. My husband and I were extremely well fed and watered, despite busily rounding the room to greet guests. Our planner Courtney was an absolute ALL STAR! I did not worry about a single thing (in fact, I forgot a few things - but she did not) once she took over planning and coordination. Courtney handled everything from timeline, to vendor coordination, to transportation, to unpacking and repacking. E V E R Y T H I N G, She was truly exceptional, and I would not have wanted anyone else to take the reins for our wedding day. If you are planning a C'ville area wedding - TCO and Courtney are a winning combo

  Best Food in the Game!

  If you need a catering company for your wedding (or any event really) The Catering Outfit is the way to go!
  
  My husband and I were worried that we would have trouble finding vendors we liked since we were planning our Virginia wedding from Hawaii, but we were lucky to find The Catering Outfit. They hopped on several virtual calls with us; allowed our family to go to a tasting to help us pick out the perfect menu, snacks, and drinks; and met with us when we got back to Virginia to work through all the final details.
  
  Our lead was Allison and she was an absolute star. She made sure the whole team worked together well and was always by our side to offer us a drink or a snack during the wedding. She was a wonderful destressing presence and we could not have asked for a better go-to.
  
  All of our guests raved about the food - not just the taste but also the presentation - and how accommodating and delightful the staff was. It felt great to be surrounded by people who were invested in giving us the best day possible.

  TCO - Absolutely Amazing!

  If you are looking for an absolute "wow" for your wedding day, you should contact The Catering Outfit! We hired them for our daughter's wedding and we wanted her to have a dream of a wedding and our guests to have an experience they would not forget. The food and service we received from TCO exceeded all of our expectations and our guests are STILL talking about it! The planning process was easy, the staff always willing to make a change or suggestion when needed. The wedding was stress free on our end and we chalk this up to our vendor selection, and TCO was a huge part of that. We were so impressed we have booked them for our other daughter's wedding next year!

  Top notch catering company

  We are so glad we went with the Catering Outfit for our wedding reception. From the first tasting to the final breakdown after our wedding, Telia and team were absolute professionals and SO helpful and attentive. They were a huge part of our entire wedding planning process and we couldn't have done it without them. Not to mention the food was incredible. All of our guests were raving about it. The bar service was amazing as well, and they helped us immensely with quantities (we provided our own alcohol) and developing our signature cocktail.
  We had passed apps for our cocktail hour - coconut shrimp, chicken taquitos, and southern fried tomatoes. (This was the hardest part to pick because we liked everything we tasted, we just went with what we thought would be the biggest crowd pleasers.) Our wedding menu consisted of steak and chicken grilled on site on a wood-fired grill, both served with a variety of sauces. The meat was cooked perfectly and the sauces elevated everything. We also had the roasted potatoes, a seasonal salad, and a medley of roasted root vegetables. We did a trio of bite-sized desserts in lieu of a cake - mini fruit tarts, cheesecakes, and pot de creme. The stations were set up beautiful - very stylish with lovely printed menus. We added on the late-night snacks option (udon noodles in takeout containers with chopsticks). All of it was a huge hit, and as most brides say, I just wish I ate more of it! They did not come cheap, but our price also included an extensive amount of rentals (our venue did not have a kitchen), as well as the full beverage package and late night snacks. But it was worth every penny to us to work with The Catering Outfit, I can't recommend them enough.

  We loved tco

  The Catering Outfit was amazing and we got so many compliments on the food! Walter and the team are amazing and were super flexible with us - they partnered with one of our guests (who has smoked meat/collaborated with them in the past) to meet our vision of having as many friends involved in the details of our day as possible. We also used Courtney as our coordinator, which definitely helped the day move seamlessly. She did an amazing job managing the other vendors and problem solving when changes needed to be made. They had a box of food/champagne packaged up for us and placed in our getaway car, which was such a special treat! We could not recommend more highly!! Thank you!

  10/10 Book with Courtney and The Catering Outfit

  One of our wedding regrets was NOT booking Courtney as our wedding planner. She and The Catering Outfit have the knowledge and expertise for your entire wedding experience. She bustled my dress! TCO was flexible in creating a special layer to the vegetarian dish for my mom. They look out for the Bride and Groom #1. Courtney went above and beyond during our event and communicated with us during the reception. Our food at the tasting, wedding, and take-home was phenomenal. They also accommodated our outside alcohol, wedding cake, and Groom's cake. They have a TON of choices for delicious food! Don't book with anyone else in Charlottesville but them!

  Best in Class - and fun, too!

  As a couple who wanted food to be the centerpiece of our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception, we could not have asked for a better partner than TCO. Courtney, Allison and their team were absolute rock stars to work with from start to finish. Not only did they customize the menu to our unique specifications, they took our whacky ideas and ran with them from start to finish. Every tiny detail was incredibly well thought out, and the staff on-site for tastings and day-of events was thoroughly professional, while still having fun with our guests. The quality of TCO's work leaves me certain that there is no one better for catering in the Charlottesville region. We would hire them again in a heartbeat.
