*Note: This review is just about TYTC wedding catering.* To Your Taste was one of the approved…read morecatering companies for our wedding venue. We reached out very early on in the planning process and spoke with Diego about our preferences for the menu and ideal price point. He was very understanding--particularly of our desire to keep a tight budget--and prompt to schedule a tasting for us. As soon as the tasting finished, we knew we would sign with TYTC for everything but dessert. The food was superb, not just run-of-the-mill wedding "fish and chicken," but flavorful and cooked to perfection. TYTC also has dozens of appetizer options, perfect for all cuisines and preferences. There was no issue adding items that were non-dairy and GF for several guests with dietary restrictions. In the months before our wedding, Diego was responsive and communicative. He led us know a few months before the wedding that he may need to be on travel...and could miss our wedding. This was only worrying when, after doing walkthroughs (x2), questions kept popping up that we had already answered about décor, timeline etc. Fortunately, Diego handed us off to his colleague Paola who has an extensive background in weddings. Paola was a delight to work with on our wedding day, and managed her team professionally. (They even brought us food/drinks while we were taking photos after the ceremony!) Our guests loved the food, so minus the few stressful hiccups in the final weeks, we're very happy we spent the money to use TYTC.

Chef Matt delivered an amazing experience for 4 people! Our friend has a baby and a toddler and…read moregreatly appreciated a fine dining experience coming to her house! He brought all the ingredients and taught us tips like how to cut an onion without crying and the right way to cut a mango! The best mai tai of my life started us off. Then he made mahi mahi with chutney, and a Caribbean themed main dish of mango sauce marinated ribs and slaw. Dessert was bananas foster due to time, he had other options including flan, but flan takes too long. Generally, it's a 4 hour night with eating at the end, so plan accordingly. The perfect Friday evening hang out with friends and learn something new. Highly recommend, especially as a gift to friends.

Chef Matt takes care of everything -- the food, the cooking utensils and cookware and the cleanup. All you have to do is select a menu, pick a date for the cooking session in your home kitchen and decide how active you want to be during the class. I chose a Spanish theme so we made patatas bravas, Gambas al Ajillo (Garlic Shrimp), Serrano Ham, Manchego, Pear and Carmelized Onion Puff Pastry Bites, and Vegetarian Paella. I cook and bake a lot, so it was great being able to pick Chef Matt's brain for tips and tricks to improve my skills. If you have a foodie in your life this is an awesome gift/experience for them!

I cannot say enough great things about Chef Jamie and Meal Mate DC! We're in California and had…read moresecured a beautiful Airbnb in DC for the weekend of our daughter's college graduation. We decided that, rather than try to find a restaurant for all the extended family in for the graduation, we would host a private dinner at the Airbnb prepared by a professional chef. We interviewed a number of chefs and Meal Mate was by far the best. Most creative ideas, most responsive, and best enthusiasm for the project! We signed with them months ahead of the date, and as it drew closer, I started getting reminders from Chef Jamie. Some questions, more ideas. On event day, Chef Jamie and Chef Nathan showed up exactly on time and started getting to work. First, the table was set beautifully with linen napkins and personalized menus/place cards. As guests arrived, we were all treated with a specialty cocktail and delightful appetizers. And then dinner. Wow!! Maybe the best ribeye steak ever. Wonderfully seasoned and incredibly tender. The sides were all great but that steak - oh, my lord. Dessert was a matcha tiramisu and it was the perfect finish! Throughout the night, the service was so smooth and then, before we knew it, the kitchen was cleaner than when they arrived and they were off. Like I said, I can't say enough great things about Meal Mate. Book them for your next event!!

Please please PLEASE hire these professionals for any culinary dreams you have, and they are sure to bring them to life.

We hired Tasteful Affairs for our small wedding, and it was truly one of the best decisions we…read moremade. The food was incredible--our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! We had a mix of traditional dishes from our home cultures (Haiti and Nigeria), and our families were so pleased with how beautifully everything came out. It felt authentic, flavorful, and made with love. From the start, working with Emilie was an absolute breeze. She went above and beyond in every way and honestly felt like a quasi-wedding planner at times with how thoughtful and attentive she was throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, her team was warm, professional, and all smiles--despite the summer heat! We are so grateful to Tasteful Affairs for helping make our wedding day feel so special and personal. We will absolutely be using them again for future events and will recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer who truly cares and delivers on every level.

The food was universally loved by all our guests--which is no small feat considering we had several guests with very complicated dietary restrictions. Every person felt cared for, and the quality of the meal was outstanding from the first hors d'oeuvre to the final bite. The service provided by the entire staff was nothing short of spectacular. They managed the logistics of our historic hall with impeccable care, respecting the character of the venue while ensuring everything ran like clockwork behind the scenes. What we appreciated most was Emilie's ability to handle the "unexpected" with total composure. Because of her oversight and professionalism, we were able to completely relax and enjoy the special day, knowing every detail was in the most capable hands. If you are looking for a caterer who offers more than just a meal--but a true partnership in planning--we highly recommend Emilie and the Tasteful Affairs team. They truly care.

The level of planning and detail that Geovanny the catering manager put into listening to me as a client and attending to all the details was phenomenal. I just can't say enough great things about how thorough he was, the last time I ordered with this company. I've used their services before in the past and they were always reasonably and comparably priced even given the high quality and standards that they have in food quality. I'd love to use them more as well but their price structure is over the top expensive when you add up all their nickle and dime fees. They are penny-wise and pound foolish. I wish they would get back to more competitive pricing. Quality and service is great but nickle and dime-ing the client is never a good thing. I don't believe the pricing was within Geovanny's control. Why haven't they had a Yelp page before now? I had to create their account page in order to post this review. If their prices became more balanced I'd have my companies returning again for their service. d

We used Silver Spoon to cater breakfast and dinner for our graduation party and informed them…read moremultiple times about the nut allergies in our house. Despite being reassured they would take them seriously, and their food would be safe to eat, dinner was delivered with a salad that had crushed walnuts on top and orzo pasta that had pine nuts pesto (which we were only told about after contacting to complain about the walnuts). This could have been a fatal mistake on their part and we were lucky our nut-allergic son did not eat the food. Upon finding the allergens we promptly threw the food away and questioned the safety of the other dishes. This celebratory event could have turned tragic in a heartbeat and I don't believe Silver Spoon understands the severity of the situation. We never received an explanation as to how something so dangerous could have happened, especially in today's day of food allergy awareness. We are truly disappointed because I know businesses can properly handle food allergies; this is not one of them.

She was extremely responsive, was creative in coming up with a menu that would work for a large group and was able to accommodate several of my guests' dietary restrictions (GF/DF).

The food was fantastic, the guests were very complimentary of the menu, the quality of the food and the servers was top notch. I didn't have to worry about a thing - they came in, set up, served and left the kitchen better than they found it!
