It was a pleasure to work with David at Celebrations Catering for our daughter's recent wedding. The food was delicious and the service provided by the waiters, bartenders and captains was second to none. During the planning process David provided many suggestions for little details and big details like quantities for our purchase of alcohol that made the event planning seamless. We highly recommend Celebrations Catering! read more

A week after my daughter's wedding and our guests are still raving about the food. I didn't realize what went into catering a wedding until I witnessed the entire mobile kitchen set up. Everything was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious, the bartenders were awesome, everyone was super friendly, and unbelievably efficient. In this time of COVID, everyone was professional and helped us with our efforts in social distancing our guests by adding extra tables, and setting up outside. Special shout out to David - thank you so much for helping to make our daughter's special day PERFECT! read more

We used Celebrations Catering to cater our wedding and were happy with the overall experience. The food was good and the banquet team was really top notch during the event. They showed up on time, everything was perfectly on schedule, and they made sure we (the bride and groom) always had food, drink, or cake in hand. The tasting before our wedding also went great and our main point of contact went through the contract line by line as well as provided us pictures of how our linen choices would look at our venue. The main criticism we had was with the main sales contact we worked with. We were planning a wedding from out of state and preferred to communicate over email. This person was pretty good with their response times, but we felt that their attention to detail could be improved as we had a lot of back and forth around details in the contract that we had to ask them to fix. Meeting this sales rep in person at the tasting was a great experience and we felt that they work better communicating over the phone or in person. The other feedback we have is to make their prices more clear as we had to basically reverse engineer the pricing from our proposal to get an idea of how the prices would grow based on guest size. For price-minded clients, being clear about prices would help a lot. Lastly, it was not clear if the catering staff required gratuity or not and we did not get a clear answer from out contact, so being clear in the contract if this is required or not would be helpful. read more

Attended a wedding recently where Celebrations catered. I got to try a little bit of everything and I would rate the food at a 4 or 4.5 star... but the reason I am writing this review is because I was really impressed with Adolfo Mendez the event captain for that night. I have worked in the wedding industry for years as a DJ and I have seen it all. Adolfo was Johnny on the spot for just about every thing the family needed and his team seemed to be working on the same page. I was lucky enough to sit at the same table as the POB, so I reaped the benefits of this great service. read more

I don't know how this company garners ANY good reviews at all when my experience with them so absolutely awful! They were the exclusive Caterer at my wedding venue last year, Rosemont, and I think that's most of the problem right there: they are exclusive and can get away with whatever they want to do, no matter how outrageous the price because the unlucky bride and groom are stuck with no recourse. And there is no one to enforce good business practices or decent customer service. Lesson learned right there:; NEVER book with any venue that gives you no choice in a vendor. Basically, the POC at Rosemont for Celebrations is a Mr. David Weinschel, who never returned calls or emails promptly, and did not take my concerns over cost seriously. Sure he was sympathetic, but did nothing to actually HELP, even when I offered cost alternatives to HIS COMPANY. When I confronted him about taking so long to get back to me, repeatedly; and not seeming to be concerned about helping me reign in costs, he deflected everything onto myself, the paying customer, which should never happen, period. it got so bad that the venue had to get the General Manager, Adolfo Mendez, to speak to me, just to get anything to proceed forward, because Weinschel just didn't seem to give a rip. Adolfo at least tried. He was professional and always got back to me quickly. But Celebratons doesn't seem to be concerned that their prices are on par with what you'd pay in D.C. proper - and that's not appropriate for out here in the suburbs where a lot of folks don't make 100k a year because blue collar jobs just don't pay that much. In the end, the venue had to step and in and owner, Mr. Genda, chipped in some of his OWN money, so we could be somewhat close to budget and afford to feed our guests ANYTHING. Two decent things (since my Mom always said to say at least 1 thing positive about everybody): the head chef, Jose Marty, was a real jewel, and saved the day with his own professionalism and willingness to cooperate with me. Also, I have read good reviews about folks who book at Whitehall, which seems to be the H.Q. for Celebrations. Specifically I have heard good things from folks who worked with Adam or Douglas. I think I was just very unlucky to have to work with a jerk like Weinschel. He should just work with the books and save everybody some grief. read more

Our wedding at Whitehall was absolutely stunning. Celebrations' service was impeccable and the quality of the food (all prepared in their commercial kitchen onsite) was amazing. Competitively priced, they actively encouraged us to visit other venues/caterers for comparison purposes without fear of us making another choice or pressuring us to secure a date during our initial visit. Please do not overlook this gem of a venue and phenomenal catering service. Doug was a joy to work with and was very accommodating in regard to many DIY ideas my wife had and wished to implement. He was also super flexible when it came to various last minute questions and requests for our special day. We highly recommend this venue and caterer to anyone starting to plan their big day or any other event. read more

An amazing group of people and also with the best bartender Yesenia in the world, 2 thumbs up

Celebrations was nothing short of amazing for our wedding day in November. David was so incredible to work with. Getting married during a pandemic means many ups and downs, changes, and several conference call requests from the bride. David was kind, patient, insightful, and flexible through the entire process. He would have conference calls with my husband and I throughout the day, anytime that worked for us and he was wonderful as we often added my Mom to the calls. He always answered our questions, provided us with ideas when we were unsure of what to do, and answered the many emails I sent in the process. On the day of our wedding, my husband and I watched as the staff of Celebrations was attentive, kind, and constantly checking on our guests as well as the two of us to make sure we were well taken care of. The food was simply wonderful! Our guests raved about the hors d'oeuvres and the meal. We also chose to have hot chocolate and cranberry apple cider passed prior to the ceremony and our guests said that it was so delicious and such a special treat! We really could not have asked for a better catering company for our special day! We were pleased through every step of the process. Thank you Celebrations for helping to make our day so special! read more

Celebrations did an absolutely fabulous job on my daughter's wedding. Menu options were extensive and preparation and presentation were excellent. Each of our guests truly felt like guests and not just another attendee having a plate of something plopped down in front of them. This was food that tasted like food: cooked, seasoned, sauced and presented as if prepared individually for each guest. Despite serving 100+ guests there was no rubber chicken, mystery meat or dried out fish. Pricing was very reasonable; especially when measured against hotels or "brand-name" caterers. No hesitation in recommending Celebrations for any catering need. read more

We had a wonderful experience with Celebrations Catering. Everyone I dealt with from my initial contact with them until the moment they left our house after a delightful evening of outstanding food and service (plus a clean kitchen with no dishes to wash) was helpful, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. My event was a dinner party for 20 to celebrate a special birthday for two dear friends. It was a small but important event for us and Celebrations Catering treated us like we were hosting the best party of the year. Thanks to them, it was! read more

Although we were required to use this vendor by our venue, we were absolutely pleased and impressed with them throughout the planning process - and, especially, on the big day! Honestly, having such amazing food and such an incredible staff "required" took planning stress away from us - I'd highly recommend Celebrations Catering for any event! Vivian worked with us to design an incredible menu and made sure to assist with special meal options for some of our guests (vegan, children). The complimentary tasting was done professionally, in a beautiful location, and allowed us to fine tune the selections we'd made. And then we get to wedding day - we were BLOWN AWAY by the celebrity treatment we got from the 10-crew staff. They anticipated our every need (kept our drinks full, carried our buffet plates to our sweetheart table, brought food/drinks to our photography shoot, etc.), overwhelmed us with kindness and professionalism, and made our wedding so incredibly wonderful! The food was AMAZING, and all of the guests raved about how deliciously full they were! THANK YOU for being an absolutely perfect company, from beginning to end, to cater such an important day for us! read more

Celebrations provided the food for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. The food was fantastic and everyone kept raving about it! They were extremely helpful in the planning process. They gave us a free private food tasting and worked with us consistently to figure out exactly how we wanted things on the wedding day. Sometimes it took a while to get emails answered, but they always got back to me. I would certainly recommend them to anyone! read more

My husband hired Celebrations for our combination birthday/anniversary party. I could not have been happier. From the beginning the people from Celebrations were amazing! The planning process was seamless and they were 100% professional from start to finish. The food was fantastic and the bartender and serving staff were incredible. I know that they were working but it felt like they wanted to be there and were part of our "celebration". They were outstanding and I will definitely use them again. read more

I have been using Celebrations Catering for 20 years. Their service and food is first class. They are flexible and multi-faceted and can accomodate any request. I highly recommend this company for any catering need whether it is a wedding or office party. read more

We just used Celebrations for our wedding meet and greet. We wanted a simple party for about 50 guest, but great food and service. Event Captain Vivian Ritchie provided that special touch to ensure our guests were treated like kings. The food was fresh and spectacular. We were luck enough to have some leftovers, but they quickly disappeared. When we arrived at the venue, everything was set up and handled as we wished. Our family gathering was a great success and I give this company and their food my highest recommendation. read more
