Delicious!

We had such a positive experience working with B. Lin Catering for our wedding. Arin helped us build a delicious Italian-style menu, even coming up with creative substitutions when we wanted to change things up. Natalie took over when things got closer to the big day, and she helped us make sure that all of the final details were covered. Our guests LOVED the food (and we loved the leftovers!). The waitstaff were excellent and things were executed well. The only drawback was the rental situation (a partnership with DC Rental). The styles available in their inventory were somewhat limited compared to other catering companies and rental companies. We didn't want to deal with adding another vendor if we didn't have to, so we tried to make it work with the available styles. Within a week of the wedding, we learned they didn't have the correct number of tablecloths in the colors we had chosen months earlier, so we had to choose replacements sight unseen that ultimately didn't really match the color palette. It was a small thing, but avoidable if the rental company had done the math earlier to give us time to select better options. Just something to be aware of, if rentals are a priority. The food, service, and value were excellent!

Thanks B Lin!

We worked with B. Lin to cater for our wedding and we could not have been happier! Arin and Andrea were absolutely wonderful - they were timely and responsive, as well as incredibly helpful with planning and coordinating the individual dishes for appetizers and dinner. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors and our event space. They have a wonderful selection of menu items that go beyond your typical wedding dinner - we had a ribeye with yucca and plantains, a butternut squash risotto with fried sage, and citrus salmon with cauliflower puree - all incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked! Everyone at our wedding raved about the food afterwards- our only regret from our wedding day was that being the bride & groom meant we didn’t have as much time to eat as everyone else! The most special part for us was that B. Lin was excited to help us plan out and prepare custom hors-d’oeuvres that were representative of meals that we had shared together on vacations over the years, adding a unique and personal touch to our wedding.
Our venue allowed us to provide our own alcohol, but B Lin worked a great bar service- we sent our signature drink recipes over a few days before and they were exactly what we wanted, and all the bartenders were super efficient - the staff in general was amazing, speedy, and kept everyone happy the whole night. Highly recommend B Lin Catering!!

B.Lin is the type of catering that wedding guest want!

My husband and I consider ourselves foodies, and we didn't want the "stereotypical" catering we've experienced at other weddings. B.Lin checked those boxes and more to provide delicious, unique Asian cultural flavors. We had guests say this was the kind of food they actually wanted, and we witnessed our guests getting seconds! I honestly don't think I can recall any other wedding where guests went to the buffet to get seconds. Thank you, B.Lin, for your communication and professionalism from the tasting, choosing linens/plates, and actual execution day. You made our special day more special by showing our love through our love of food :)
