Amazing in every way

We loved Ridgewell's for the amazing service and attention to detail, the friendliness and flexibility, and of course the legitimately incredible food and drinks. Anthony and the rest of the staff ran our wedding seamlessly and were so much fun to work with in the months leading up to the event. We were also able to easily rent space heaters, furniture, and linens from them that saved us a lot of time by not having to go through other vendors. Cannot recommend them enough!

Ridgewells is amazing!

Talk about a personalized experience. Every step of the way, we felt like Ridgewells cared about our tastes and choices rather than foisting a preset design on us. When we went into their dining room for the food tasting, they were playing 80’s music overhead because in a random conversation months prior, they heard us mention that we liked 80’s music. Likewise, when we sampled the desserts, they brought out these adorable penguin cookies because they are my favorite animal. I had told them all I ever wanted at my wedding was an ice cream sundae bar and they made it happen!

On the day of the wedding, the food was delicious and the staff was on top of keeping the drinks flowing. If you’re a vegetarian, they do a great job of providing vegetarian options that are interesting and full of flavor. We had many vegetarians in attendance who were quite happy not to be stuck with lettuce and pasta salad per their other wedding experiences. When the custom ice cream sundae bar came out, they had all 70+ guests lined up and served within 10 minutes. And all the guests absolutely loved it! They handled everything from the food, open bar, waiters, tables, linens, dinner ware, cake, etc. Mary Margaret and Anthony took such amazing care of us!! And they worked with us for 3 years and we’re so incredibly generous and accommodating when we had to reschedule our wedding twice because of COVID.

All around an incredibly impressive team. We HIGHLY recommend Mary Margaret and the whole Ridgewells team!

Whenever I see one of the Ridgewells purple catering trucks driving around the Washington area, I smile to myself as I imagine an image of an elegant ballroom for a wedding or a Bat/Bat Mitzvah all set and ready to accept the arriving guests. As a videographer, I have been present at many such occasions and have made memorable keepsake videos for my clients. Ridgewells is a popular and long established fine caterer in the area. No doubt, I will work another special event sometime soon where this leading caterer will be the culinary vendor of choice.
