It was important for my wife and I to have a wedding ceremony and reception that reflected both of us, and Caribbean Caterers (CC) played a pivotal role in helping us achieve what we set out to do. From the first call we had with Gillian at CC in October 2019 through the last call announced at our reception in October 2020 (and beyond!), Gillian and CC were an absolute pleasure to work with. Gillian and the CC team were so professional and friendly throughout the entire process. When we first talked to Gillian about our vision, she provided insight and suggestions we had not considered or thought were 'on the table'. My family is from Trinidad and Tobago and Bermuda and my wife's family is from Colombia, and CC were able to incorporate dishes and cocktails from both countries flawlessly. While the food and service were amazing, having a catering company that can also handle linens, table/chair rentals, and place settings was icing on the (wedding) cake! After COVID-19 hit, our plans fluctuated as we drew near to the wedding date. CC were flexible and patient as we sorted out venue and guest count changes. Thanks in part to CC, we didn't have to worry about anything but limin' on our wedding day!

My husband and I got married Oct 8, 2023. The most important aspect of our wedding that we emphasized was food. We were willing and able to pay the extra bucks as long as the food was right for our special day. We even went to other caterers and had tastings by which we weren't pleased with, until we came across Caribbean Caterers. The tasting was magnificent by which is what drew us in to immediately selecting them for our big day. They had a personal photographer/videographer, so they were able to share video footage of us tasting the food as a keepsake. Our venue actually only wanted their select few of caterers in their venue due to problems in the past. We went over and beyond and were able to talk the venue into allowing Caribbean Caterers. However, everything took a turn for the worse when the food at our wedding tasted nothing like the food from the tasting. The food lacked seasoning, taste, and flavor. It was bland. Our dinner menu was braised beef short rib, stuffed chicken, and salmon. The sides were sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese pie, and greens. The greens tasted like Glory greens from the can plopped on a plate. The sweet potatoes tasted like they were boiled and just smashed on a plate with no taste or flavor. The mac and cheese was dried out. There was a mixture of overcooked meats and undercooked meats for the reception and cocktail hour foods. The cocktail hour foods were crab cakes, fried chicken skewers, vegetable spring rolls, and shrimp and grits. My father actually tried three different fried chicken skewer sticks and all were undercooked. Not edible at all. The fried chicken skewers were soggy. My husband and I hadn't ate all day and were finally able to sit down and eat at our reception and the food tasted so horrible we didn't touch the plate at all the rest of the night. Gillian, who is the CEO who was present at the wedding, the only excuse was that the bride and groom typically never get time to eat. We for sure had enough time to eat at our sweetheart table, but our food was so tasteless we couldn't bare eating any of it. We had multiple zoom calls that Caribbean Caterers recorded. Where they contradicted themselves and made up excuses to why they are not to be held liable for anything that went wrong. First, Gillian blamed the venue because of the multiple delays that evening which caused them to not be able to produce the food to the best of quality. She stated that the food had to be reheated multiple times and therefore that's the reason it did not taste how it should. My response back to that was it doesn't matter how many times you reheat or even leave food cold, if you seasoned the food properly the food will still remain with a taste and be manageable to enjoy regardless. You would still taste the seasoning, but to not taste no seasoning on our wedding food at all is outrageous. Gillian kept telling me that I should ask other chefs and that she wants me to put a meal in the oven for 2 hours and that's what she had to deal with that night, but it is due to things out of her control. I am not asking other chefs they did not do my wedding that day. You all did. That has nothing to do with the food being tasteless. How I season my food and how they choose to season the food are two different things. My food would still taste good and have flavor because I seasoned it properly rather than if it was kept in the oven for 2 hours or not. In addition, I heard Gillian say on the first zoom call that she had to take chicken back that wasn't thoroughly cooked. Then all of a sudden the second meeting she says I never said that and it may have been overcooked but not undercooked. I said to them well if I am not hearing correctly, I would like to listen to both recordings of the zoom meetings, so I can make sure I heard what I heard and nothing is being made up. Gillian kept talking around my question and not trying to give the zoom recordings for me to listen to. Then she says we can schedule a time for you to listen to the recordings and tries to say they can't send the recordings. I told them that it is possible to send me the zoom call recordings and I would like the recordings from the meetings we had, which was only two meetings. They responded via email "We are unable to provide you with the recordings." I asked them what is the reason for not being able to provide the recordings and they have not responded yet. To further continue on with the issues from that day, they had run out of salmon for guests that ordered salmon. Yes! My wedding was plated and not a buffet. Their excuse was that it was not clear on the table settings on who was supposed to get what, therefore their team did the best they could as well as my wedding planner and her team did the best they could. My thing is that they had a wrap up call with my wedding planner and I where they stated they understood the placement of which meal is supposed to go where and the seating. Please look at attachment!

Another great event with Carribean Caterers!!! Must have Candice. Wow. I love this company, I can actually entertain my guest and wow, they make your event awesome. Second Cigar Event with them. This year, Havana Nights and they came though. Many guests requested their info. Many many many thanks. Until next year!

Helped set up a photo spot for guests

We wanted my sister's baby shower to be a celebration of Asian and Ecuadorian cultures, and Caribbean Caterers made it possible! The shower was held at her home in DC, so they arranged for 2 servers to pass the delicious food among guests as we had fun doing various arts and crafts. Everything was hot and delicious, and I heard many remark this was the fanciest baby shower! I was impressed by both the taste of the food and the professionalism of the servers. We hadn't planned on where to put coats and they quickly managed a coat check for us (fancy!) Ms de Souza went above and beyond with great ideas and solutions for decorations and layout, and efficiently managing things once guests arrived. It was a great party! Can't wait to book them again! Our menu: Calypso punch Potstickers Coconut shrimp Spanakopita Lamb lollipops Fig and brie tart Vegetable ceviche

Their service to 150 people is very professional and they anticipated our needs like telepathy. Talmom Silva worked with our budget and made our event sing: the presentation of the food was exceptional. I love their chicken salad sandwich! The boxed lunch we ordered for the conference attendees had a sandwich or wrap (the chicken salad sandwich I had was delicious!), fresh fruit salad, choice of coleslaw or pasta salad, a bag of chips and a natural grain bar of honey and oats. I work with a lot of caterers and noticed that the team Talmom, Ricardo, and Giovanni work very well together and they genuinely enjoy being of service to other people and respect each member of their team.

It was a stress free evenig. Chef Ricardo - your food and presentation was amazing! So many of our guests raved about how delicious everything was and how much they enjoyed watching you cook. I was so pleased with everything that came out of the kitchen, specially the carving station with the tenderloin... Crab crostine appetizer is the number one... The Staff - Everyone that assisted that evening did an incredible job. They were so friendly, attentive and professional. I was a pleasure to work with you and Thank you very much so.

It is a cute restaurant located off of Boiling Brooke Parkway in Rockville, Maryland. The inside is decorated with warm woods and shelves and freezers filled with Italian frozen entrees, desserts, and sauces. As you walk up to the counter, you are warmly welcomed. I ordered the Italian cold cut sub and the meatball sub. They have a huge assortment of chips. I am really regretting not picking up a package of my favorite chips. Next time... Service was great. The gentleman who waited on me couldn't have been nicer. It took about 5 minutes for my food to be ready and I was out the door. I want to echo other reviewers, when I say there are no tables or chairs for eating. This is strictly order your food and take it with you. My meatball sub was delicious. It was packed with large portions of meatballs, that were roasted in a tasty marinara sauce. The roll was fresh and soft. I highly recommend this sub. The Italian sub was good, but it was crying out for a little lettuce and tomato. I know that they offer the sub with a green sauce, but I found the taste of the sauce oily and too parsley heavy. I was really glad I had it put on the side. Other than that, the Italian meats were tasty and the sub roll fresh and tender. Prices were reasonable, it was about $20 for both subs. I will definitely return to get some homemade pasta and that tiramisu that was tempting me in the fridge. Gratzi,Vignola Gourmet.

They also have a small grocery section with imported Italian goods (canned clams, tomatoes, olive oils, cookies, etc) and frozen premade goodies like sauces, lasagnas, Italian sausage, pizza dough, and even ice cream. We ordered a hot porchetta sub, cold cut sub, and homemade pappardelle with pesto cream sauce. The owner helped us choose a "soft" sub roll for the porchetta and a "hard" Italian baguette for the cold cut sub. The food was all very tasty and felt like we traveled to a simpler time where ingredients shine for themselves. The porchetta was tender and flavorful, and together with the soft roll, kind of reminded me of a Taiwanese gua bao or Cantonese charsiu bao. It was incredible and smelled so delicious! The cold cut sub was simple and well balanced, and good with the harder baguette. Lastly, the handmade pappardelle was delightfully chewy and reminded me of Chinese hand pulled noodles. Didn't expect to have such parallels with Chinese food- and I enjoyed reflecting on how different cultures can come to have similar tastes and values. Next time we'll have to try their desserts and more of their menu! Can't wait to come back. Go check out this gem in Rockville, and experience a taste of Italy!

Everything was handled through their online request for a quote and email. Responses were usually received within 24 hours. I never felt like I needed to pick up the phone and reassure myself that they were taking care of my request. The online quote form is very detailed and when I stated that the theme for my daughter's party was Lord of the Rings, they ran with it. The creativity shown in the menu was amazing. It made my daughter extremely happy from the start. Hannah definitely worked to keep the menu within our budget, offering suggestions on where we could tighten things. The week of the event, they were back in touch to finalize details and on the day of the event, Chloe showed up with the food at the designated time and was very professional and polite but also very approachable. She did an excellent job setting up and explaining all the dishes. Finally, the food! Absolutely amazing! The hits were the leaf-wrapped elven lembdas bread and Balin's spiced beef (brisket). The brisket was so tender it melted in your mouth. While those two were the standouts, the rest of the food certainly held its own and disappeared quickly. I would definitely use Farm to Feast for any future catering needs.

The ham and biscuits were pasty with deli ham; ropa vieja empanadas were unimpressive and doughy, chicken skewers were bland- looked poached, mini crab cakes were not memorable. The staff was responsive, available and worked easily with my contact so I had guessed it would be fine. I was moved by the name and had expected freshness, goodness and quality. I wanted my husband's reception to be beautiful with delicious food but instead, I was embarrassed with what was served. Don't be fooled by the pictures on the site, buyer beware.

They took care of renting the tables and chairs and setting them up in a way that realized this vision.

They offered an innovative menu but also responded to our special requests with no problem. As others have pointed out, the service was attentive without being intrusive, and the clean up job was amazing - just like they had never been there. We had great feedback from our guests and overall were very happy. We had never had a catered event before, but now I am wondering what the next one will be. :)

Regardless of the drizzle of rain, the heat & those pesky mosquitoes, the employees were Rockstars. Two of three that were on the grill along with the Manger on duty had not issue checking to see if their Veggie Burger was Vegan friendly, it was not. However & in the interim of checking the ingredients, one of the Griller's offered to cook the Veggie Burger on aluminum foil & away from the meat products...that did me righteous. Other employees taking orders were just as friendly in trying to accommodate customers & their children selections. As far as prices serving an outside venue/event the menu (Tempo Grill) are pretty reasonable, glass of wine for $7, a bag of chips or cookies for $2, Veggie Burgers $11 & Personal Pizza $10. There is eco-friendly self serving station providing plenty of condiments, napkins & utensils. Again, my review is based solely upon the good customer service & accommodations I received during Strathmore's Summer Concert Series & not for catering services. Now Ridgewells, let's get some Vegan Patties on the grill! :-)
