She responded to my questions quickly and was always willing to adjust our invoices or provide recommendations. They are also the most affordable company I've found in the DC area. On site, the catering team went above and beyond to ensure our events went seamlessly. I have never had guests compliment the staff and the menu as much as they did with St. Germain! As the event coordinator, I appreciated that Ceecho, Donal, and Johnny checked in with me throughout the event, quickly adjusted to the schedule changes, and were efficient and helpful throughout the set up and tear down process. I highly recommend Saint Germain for our next catered function in DC! We will be a repeat customer for sure!

The set-up staff was polite and efficient. Everyone enjoyed the food. I definitely recommend this caterer.

The owner explained that his brother was in the military and that they decided not to offer any discounts, including military discounts, because they want to be fair to everyone. Very philosophical.

A kind thank you for your service is free and always truly appreciated especially for those who have sacrificed something more than just their time in the service.

We wanted a fully vegetarian wedding, and their team worked closely with us to craft a versatile, flavorful, and crowd-pleasing menu for our appetizers, main courses, and late-night bites. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. A special shoutout to Cassie and Sydney, who were absolute stars throughout the entire planning process. They were kind, patient, and always on top of every detail. Their guidance and creativity helped bring our vision to life, and they truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Purple Onion also helped us coordinate rentals for our tablescapes and set up the bar with delicious specialty cocktails. They did so much more than just catering-- they were a huge part of making our wedding day so special. Purple Onion Catering was one of the best decisions we made--professional, talented, and a joy to work with. We're so grateful for everything they did!

Catered a work event with Helga's, and the entire experience was fantastic!…read more I organized a work event at our office for about 75 people, and I reached out to Helga's since they were a local company and had some interesting options. The initial discussion with pricing, options, etc. was very smooth, and Lynda was prompt in replying to my questions. I was also able to do a site walkaround with Michael to make sure the venue had the appropriate space and resources available to the Helga's team, but the staff ended up being very self-sufficient! Additionally, we had a last minute event location change due to weather, but the staff again was very accommodating and adapted quickly. The staff was very professional throughout the night, and the food and beverage service was a hit with the crowd. We definitely will be keeping Helga's in mind for all future catering opportunities!

The food is farm to table and always arrive in neatly packaged containers every Sunday evening so we have dinners stocked to enjoy the following week. I have had meal services with others before and this is by far the most skilled cooking of farm to table meals. I think it's a good value. One recent review I read was really not fair about "scam". That's just not true but I understand the frustration that led to a misunderstanding. I know the owner/chef was busy and working to try improve their marketing, ordering app, and communications. It's a small business so you just have to contact her directly if there is an issue and she will take care of it. I did that every time and I was patient because I want this good cooking to last to feed my family. Seems like great people. I've spoken to her and met the staff who deliver food to my house. We look forward to ordering each week!

I made a mistake of signing up for 4 weeks of meal delivery, and now I am out of hundreds of dollars. The first delivery was 2 days late and required multiple attempts to contact the merchant to get the ordered meals. Week 2 meals were delivered but be aware, if you happen to be in the shower when they show up with your delivery, they won't leave your meals on your secure porch and will just drive away with your order. Week 3- NO DELIVERY, NO CALL, NO EMAIL. Again, I had too contact the merchant to try to figure out where was my food. Days later got a response that they had an issue with their refrigerator and simply neglected to let me know!!! With over a thousand dollars already tied up with this merchant, I had to scramble to purchase food for my family elsewhere. Due to the "NO CALL NO SHOW" for the week 3 delivery, I politely asked the chef to immediately refund me for the remaining 2 weeks worth of food that wasn't delivered. I explained that because they failed to honor their contract, I had to make other arrangements for the meals. The merchant NEVER REFUNDED me for the remaining 2 WEEKS worth of food that they NEVER DELIVEREDA. I ended up having to contact my credit card company, and guess what? The merchant is lying to my credit card company, claiming they delivered all 4 weeks worth of meals! I am reaching out to the Office of the Attorney General and filing a fraud complaint next. Stay as far away from this thief as you can!
