Amazing Food, Service, Customization, and Great Value

Autumn's Custom Catering went above and beyond for our wedding and we are truly grateful we found them!! Claudine was amazing with handling allergies and dietary restrictions in our family. The vegan nut-free pesto was so good that my mom, who is a very picky eater, even ate lots of it. All of our guests had high praise for the food, drinks, and desserts. The bar service was top-notch and worked seamlessly alongside our venue's wine bar.

We asked for 3 custom cheesecake flavors for our wedding cheesecake and all of them were a huge hit! The honeycomb cheesecake she made could truly be her signature dish it was so good! We hope we can commission a mini one for our future anniversary. You could really tell she put so much thought and care into making the flavors.

Price was one of the more affordable rates we were able to find (especially for the great quality and value) which made it all possible. Service was also fantastic! They brought out hors d'oeuvre for our wedding party during the cocktail hour photo session so they didn't get too hungry. They were also very attentive to us and made sure we got food and packed up all leftovers. Very organized and super efficient and VERY DELICIOUS!

We highly recommend them to everyone (especially if you have any allergies). Loved their service so much we've been referring several engaged friends to them.

Easy to work with and well priced

Autumns custom catering was a pleasure to work with. They went the extra mile and really did everything they could to help us set up and clean up.

The food is good, especially for the price. We loved the hot cocoa and coffee bar, it was perfect for a fall wedding!

Wedding on 10/26/24

Claudine and her team were fantastic. The food was amazing and we had several options to choose from. She was very considerate of food allergies. She has lovely team of employees working for her. Zoey and Glen were our day of wedding coordinators and they were energetic, extremely reliable and helpful with the organization during the event. Highly recommend.

AWESOME Experience!!

We went out on a limb hiring a caterer that was located about 1.5 hrs away from our venue but WOW they hit it out of the park. From the tasting to the end of the wedding cleanup, the crew was on top of everything. The food & cupcakes were DELICIOUS (best pulled pork & bbq sauce I’ve had). What really impressed me was the attentiveness and kindness of the crew. They made an already great night EVER BETTER! Five stars all around!!

Great food!

We recommend Autumn’s Catering to anyone looking for a reasonably priced caterer in the Richmond area. Their food was very good and desserts were a hit!

Fantastic Organization for any Event

Claudine and her crew are absolutely amazing! They catered our wedding reception and it was all delicious, flawless, and basically perfect. We had to reschedule our original reception at the very last minute due to positive COVID tests for both the bride and groom. Autumn's Custom Catering were so flexible and accommodating and really helped us wade through such an emotional and potentially horrible nightmare. I can't say enough good things about Autumn's Custom Catering. Hire them!

Kind, efficent, delicious

The catering for my wedding was PERFECT. The food was exactly what we wanted and it was DELICIOUS. The service was OUTSTANDING, several of my guests commented on how kind and professional the staff were. They really went above and beyond to make everything go smoothly. I had a backyard wedding of 50 guests and my best friend was doing all the day of organizing, so no wedding planner/organizer, but the communication was so good and the staff so efficient that there was no stress. Highly highly highly recommend for anyone getting married or hosting an event in the Richmond area.

Fantastic Experience!

Autumn's Catering and Cafe did such a fantastic job in catering my wedding! They were super sensitive to people's allergies and the food was delicious! They communicated very well during the planning process. They were able to make plates for my husband and I to ensure that we got to eat. I definitely would reccomend them!
