We are so thankful to the team at Groovin Gourmets for doing a wonderful job with our wedding…read morecatering (and venue setup!). Everyone we spoke to (venues, coordinators, etc.) recommended Groovin, and as soon as we reached out we understood why - from the very beginning they were incredibly responsive, and happy to answer our many (many) questions. Kaylyn made the planning process easy, helping us to develop a staffing plan to help with the set-up of our venue (The Workshop by T&D, which was also great). Groovin staff came the day before to set up ceremony chairs and then immediately after the ceremony efficiently moved all the chairs to the other side of the venue for dinner. They helped us coordinate rentals with Party Perfect and had all the right answers (and questions) during our on-site venue walkthrough. As for the food itself, everything was delicious! People always tell you that you won't eat at your own wedding, but the food was so good that we sat and ate our entire plates. Guests raved and two friends told us that they even came up with targeted strategies to chase down their favorite hors d'oeuvre when they came out. We especially recommend the pork belly hors d'oeuvre and the szechuan salmon entree. From start to finish, Groovin' was efficient and professional, and we would highly recommend them for any event.

All of the caterers in the area have delicious food and Groovin' provided nothing less than exceptional, but it was their customer service that sets them head and shoulders above the rest. During our tasting, we enjoyed complimentary champagne upon arrival after we parked in our reserved and personalized parking space out front. The table was set beautifully, and dishes were presented exactly as they would be on Wedding Day. We were impressed from the jump, and our love of Groovin only grew once we tried the delicious foods! Throughout the process, Michelle was responsive to my MANY emails and questions, and on wedding day, all of our guests were impressed with the professionalism, kindness, outstanding service, and DELICIOUS food! My friends continue to rave about the hot honey chicken biscuits!

The appetizers -- especially the feta-stuffed mushrooms, bruschetta, and meatballs -- were huge hits with our guests. The assorted sandwiches and meat and cheese trays offered something for everyone and were both fresh and flavorful. Dessert was a total showstopper -- the s'mores pops and cupcakes were not only adorable but also unbelievably good! The caterer went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and their attention to detail really showed. We received so many compliments from our guests on the food and service. I highly recommend this caterer to anyone looking for a stress-free, delicious, and beautifully done event!

I met Joe DeFazio at his stand at the South of the James market, and boy can he talk a good game…read more He's from the north-east, moved to Richmond in the early 80s, and has been cooking italian food down here ever since. I think he used to have an actual restaurant, but now he just focuses on catering- corporate events, weddings, etc. He was at the market making sandwiches (which looked awesome, he was sneaking me pieces of proscuitto and arugula while he was making the sandwiches, and it was delicious!) and he had a few risotto balls and scotch bonnets ... I had never had a scotch bonnet so I tried it- turns out its a giant ball of sausage with a whole egg inside it! The sausage was really flavorful (homemade from what I could tell), though the egg was hardboiled inside and I like'um soft-boiled (although I am sure they are supposed to be hard-boiled) since they are sitting inside a sausage ball... but overall very tasty. So, would I talk to Mr. DeFazio if I had an event I needed catered? Yup. Will I visit his stand next time I am at the farmers market? Oh absolutely. I'll be the small woman ordering half a dozen sandwiches to bring home...

I ended up using it for Super Bowl weekend and I was able to order trays for the neighbors to come over. A lot of happy people with the spread - we got a charcuterie, BBQ mac / cheese egg rolls, potato skins, and wings. The egg rolls and potato skins were the hit of the weekend! Decently priced for the amount of food and the variety - it is cooked food not just assembled trays. I was personally happy with the fact that the trays came with a lot of forethought, the food was packaged so I didn't have to think of things to grab at Kroger on the way home from work (crackers, sour cream for potato skins). I appreciate that the business does catering for things like Super Bowl and Valentines Day, that's a clever business model. Give them a try!
