Meg & the Celebrations Catering staff were INCREDIBLE! Not only was the food absolutely delicious, but the staff and Meg are some of the most friendly, kind, and caring people we have ever worked with. They were so flexible with us and really helped us achieve our dream wedding. Every single detail was perfect, and we credit so much of our day to Celebrations Catering. Definitely book them for any of your events! read more

Fantastic experience working with Meg and the Celebrations team. Would highly recommend them. It was obvious from our first phone call that Meg and this team was totally focused on delivering us the best wedding experience possible consistent with our desires. Food and service were outstanding. Meg and team coordinate well with the other vendors too. They are very flexible to do things any way you would like tem done and they really make you feel special. So happy we chose Celebrations and thank you Meg for all you did to help make the wedding day special for the wedding couple. read more

Review from Craig and Mary Miller We hired Celebrations Catering for our daughter's July 12, 2024 wedding. The food was very good, the bartenders were excellent and all the servers were great. We received many compliments after the wedding. Our only issue was with our contact person Megan Coblentz Stouffer. At our first meeting in Feb. 2023, Meg was very receptive to the type of reception we wanted, which was buffet style and did not include a traditional cocktail hour. Everything we had discussed or requested had been met with positivity until about 2 months prior to the wedding. At that point, it seemed that everything we had planned became problematic. We had one phone call meeting where Meg made several suggestions that conflicted or contradicted plans that had previously been discussed. Afterwards, we continued emailing which seemed to be her preferred method of communication. In hindsight, we wish we would've had more in person meetings or just asked for someone else. Three weeks before the wedding, she sent an email with several incorrect statements. After correcting her and restating what our daughter wanted, she seemed a bit defensive. Once our final information for billing purposes had been submitted, we did not hear from Meg again until she arrived for the wedding day. The week of the wedding, Meg communicated some issues through our venue coordinator. We had requested that our linens be dropped off at the venue earlier in the day in order to be set before the florist delivered centerpieces. As Celebrations had a reputation for being very flexible and helpful with vendor coordination, we did not expect this to be a problem. (Celebrations was originally scheduled to arrive only 30 minutes after the florist). Instead, Meg told our coordinator that the linens could not be delivered any earlier and if we wanted the linens, then we could pick them up early ourselves. Meg also communicated to our coordinator that they would not transfer the wedding cake from inside the air-conditioned house to the outdoor tent for the reception despite this being a common practice for the company. Meg claimed it was not part of their contract, though the contract references wedding cakes and states "we will do our best to transport them safely." Since Meg refused to have her or her staff aid in the cake transport, family members of the bride had to move it instead. Meg was quick to quote what the contract states when it served her purpose, but did not bother to be careful with details such as writing the correct name for the bride's Mother in her Final Event Worksheet that would be provided to staff. Other details, such as how food would be served, were changed without communication as well. Though the contract stated our shrimp appetizer would be served in a martini glass, it was served on a small white plate instead, which significantly altered the presentation we were expecting. Meg's last communication with us prior to the wedding was on June 24th. Other vendors were in constant communication even the week of the wedding for final check-ins or confirmations. Our biggest disappointment with Meg was removing the only seafood entrée option from our menu without communicating or highlighting to us that she was doing this. Our initial proposal included a shrimp pasta and we never asked for it to be removed. When signing off on the final bill, we did not catch that it was missing. When we saw the shrimp pasta was not on the buffet during the wedding, we approached Meg to ask what happened. Meg immediately pulled up our final invoice on her phone and stated "it is not on your invoice, you did not pay for it." As parents of the bride, that is not something you want to hear in the middle of the reception. Though we did not catch the error ourselves on the invoice, Meg clearly knew about the missing entrée and was prepared to prove us wrong. She was the only person involved with the wedding that caused us worry and stress as our daughter was concerned Meg would not follow through with our desired and clearly discussed plans. For the most expensive aspect of a wedding, you expect to also have great service from the leader of the catering team. Instead, we were made to feel like Meg had something against us and chose not to follow through with the same level of service we had heard about from other customers and reviews. We highly recommend Celebrations Catering for any event, just make sure you don't have Meg as your coordinator. read more

Tammy and celebrations catering are the absolute dream team to work with. They made the whole process easy and stress free. From the tasting, to choosing the menu, to the day of, they were responsive, helpful and kind. When I tell you that they went above and beyond, I mean it. If you have a vision, celebrations will do everything in their power to help reach it. If you don't have a vision, they're happy to provide guidance and options. Tammy and the team are some of the most organized and competent people I've ever met. The pricing was completely fair and Tammy was so accommodating and flexible as our numbers changed. Every part of our wedding day was exactly what we had discussed and executed perfectly. If you don't want to stress about things going right on your wedding day, look no further. The sense of comfort and confidence this team brings is priceless! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone and everyone!! read more

The food and service was excellent for our wedding. Amber and Megan were so helpful and easy to work with and were always available to answer any questions I had. Without them, my wedding day would not have gone as smoothly. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and I highly recommend using Celebrations for catering your event! read more

My daughter just had a "COVID" friendly wedding this weekend. We used Celebrations for food, serving and linens. They were fabulous every step of the way. From our first meeting a year ago to the wedding many things changed (obviously) :) - the guest list was cut in a third, the venue was a place they had never been before, masks, for sure, were something a bit new for all of us. They never missed a beat! Additionally, they were nice through it all! They even came back the next day and picked up the linens since one of the employees lived not too far away. I guess I should mention we had many complements on the food! How nice is that? I recommend highly. Thank you! Jane (mother of the bride) and Sam (the bride) read more

This catering company is on point! From their food to their staff there is nothing negative to be said! I have been to multiple events they have catered and the food still makes my mouth water. Beyond the food their service is above top notch - if you think you need it someone is there to give it to you. I would not hesitate to book them for any event!! read more

This is the best kept secret in Thurmont! Gourmet carry out, reasonably priced. We did the Valentine special and had the crab cakes and fillet. Both were incredibly flavorful and the strawberries were really fresh. We went back this week for more, and were not disappointed with the chicken and fish dishes. Already looking at next weeks menu! read more

Five Stars all the way! Celebrations Catering did an amazing job for our holiday party at our home. Nicole, the Chef, and the two servers were so professional. They set up the buffet in our kitchen with added holiday decor which looked beautiful. The food was awesome. Our guests couldn't stop raving about it. They cleaned my kitchen spotless at the end of the night. I highly recommend Celebrations and we will definitely be using them for all our catered events. read more

We contacted at least 3 catering companies for our wedding before getting in touch with Celebrations Catering. Other companies took weeks and days to respond to our initial inquiry - Nicole at Celebrations Catering took minutes! That was an early indication of how professional Celebrations Catering staff is. From the very first interaction until the end of the wedding Celebrations Catering has exceeded our expectations in every way. They were prompt in answering an of our questions or concerns. We used them both for our rehearsal dinner and the wedding. Both events ran smooth without any problems. And the food - it was amazing. Even our guests were complimenting the quality of the food. If you are getting married in the Frederick area look no further that Celebrations Catering! read more

Celebrations recently catered our son's wedding at Glen Ellen Farm, and did a 5-star job! From the very beginning of the process to the actual event, everything was handled in the most professional and customer-oriented manner. No questions went un-answered or special requests turned away. They are a one-stop shop for not only food, but linens, stemware, glasses, plates, flatware, and more, with multiple selections in each category. It is SO much easier when planning a wedding when everything is coordinated centrally, rather than having to deal with multiple vendors, and Celebrations provided that central coordination that provided much peace of mind. Nicole was amazing to work with and went of her way to coordinate with the venue and the other vendors, as well, and her experience provided us with a lot of useful information for decision-making. She always got back to us promptly on questions and issues. Oh, and the food was fresh, unique, and delicious! The bartenders and servers that worked the actual event were also attentive, helpful, and very professional. We would highly recommend them for your next event. read more

Celebrations was nothing but a headache in the week leading up to my wedding and an embarrassment the day of. Do not fall for their charm at tastings and consultations! We had the misfortune of working with Nicole. To be brief: the first issue arose when she canceled our scheduled set up time at the reception venue without warning or attempting to contact me beyond a single email. This required me to get in touch with Celebrations to try to remedy this, a huge waste of time, but eventually they did agree to honor their prior commitment to set up the day before my wedding. The next and perhaps biggest issue was the day of the wedding - Celebrations FORGOT our main appetizer (fruit and cheese display). This is included in EVERY package they offer but, oops, they made a small oversight and did not bring it at all. This not only made our cocktail hour look cheap, but as a hungry vegetarian bride I was counting on getting some fruit. Also at the reception, Nicole lied and said that she had reached out to me via email for a timeline the day prior (when I had seen her). I did not receive an email and again, even if she did send an email that did not go through, she did not make any further attempts to get in touch. The food was delicious, I will give them that. But the unprofessionalism and the feeling that commitments mean nothing after the business has your money was enough to give me a terrible impression of Celebrations and their staff. Getting linens, gratuity and everything included in one per person price is convenient but is NOT WORTH IT. Look elsewhere! read more
