I cannot say enough positive things about the St. Germain team! Carrie was attentive, patient, and so helpful throughout the planning process. 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! read more

I cannot express how much I love and recommend Saint Germain Catering. I was in a bind because my caterer fell through at the last minute. Saint Germain came through like a superhero! Their menu is expansive and can accommodate all types of dietary restrictions--we had dairy free, vegan, pollotarian, and gluten free folks, and they all enjoyed the food. Set up and tear down were efficient, and the staff was so friendly, polite, and professional! And the food! I over ordered, so the whole library staff got to eat, too. Everyone raved about the buffets (we did a "cookout" style, a "fajita bar" style, and we had breakfast for three days). Everything was cooked well and seasoned well! The fresh fruit was delicious! Can I recommend them any more than I have? If I'm ever in the DC/DMV area again for an event, I will definitely give them a call. read more

Very little meat provided for the sandwiches - too much bread and lettuce- confusion over delivery address as well

Tried Thanksgiving catering from here for the first time this year. Excellent flavor and presentation for the turkey, as well as all the sides (cornbread stuffing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes). Pumpkin pie and ham were also fantastic. Large portion sizes = delicious leftovers for days. Highly recommend. read more

I went with Saint Germain catering based on all the reviews that raved about their food. And they were RIGHT! So many compliments on how good the food was!! But even better was the service! I worked mainly with Brenda from the sales office and she was so responsive. And so kind event after a dozen changes! We had two servers for our catering, Noelia and Edwardo (?) - so professional! They set up quickly, working around us when we hadn't cleared some spaces yet. And so neat - cleaned up so the only evidence they were even there was the leftovers! And I just realized I didn't take any photos. It really was great! Highly recommend - I will def use them again!! read more

EVERYONE raved the food was AMAZING!!! With little notice for an event, I filled out the online contact form requesting information. The owner reached out right away. We scheduled a call on Monday morning and had a contract before the end of the business day for an event THREE days later. The onsite lead and bartender were fantastic - on time, professional, efficient, and friendly. Don't hesitate to hire Saint Germain! No doubt you'll get great food and service! read more

We have used Saint Germaine multiple times for family celebrations. Food always excellent, food delivery and set up was a breeze. Highly recommend them for your next party. You will not be disappointed. read more

They reached out and asked if I needed help with a order. Also i have used them previously and they are amazing!

No notes - Saint Germain was absolutely a DREAM to work with for our backyard wedding. They have transparent pricing, are super responsive, and my wedding coordinator said the event staff was a HUGE help on the day of the wedding. Unfortunately in typical bride fashion, I was unable to sample any of the food on my wedding day, but I did have some of the leftover short ribs from our buffet the next day, and it was delicious! All our guests were so impressed with the quality and flavor of the food, especially for a buffet. The bartenders were amazing as well. Highly recommend. read more

WOW! The food is amazing! The most asked question, followed by a statement during the Women's Guild luncheon was, "Who catered this lunch? The food is incredible!" What a perfect catering experience. YUM! YUM! YUM! Our guild leader organized this affair and spoke so highly of St. Germain's responsiveness, accessibility to answer questions, delivery, etc. Special food needs were not a problem and were loved by all as a matter of fact. Any remaining food at the end was anxiously claimed and divided amongst attendees. Such a great experience! I feel like figuring out some event just so I can use their services. This is an all-star, A+ business! If you consider using them, you can rest easy and be confident that you've engaged the best! There is a reason they have been in business over 24 years! read more

Saint Germain Catering - A giant YUM!!!!! - Caterers Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

My husband and I hosted a retreat for our clients, and we hired Saint Germain to cater 3 meals. Hands down, this was the smoothest part of the whole planning process. Everything is upfront and so easy! They delivered everything on time, set up the food beautifully, and the portions were incredibly generous. Our clients raved about the food, and we couldn't be happier knowing our clients were happy! We will most definitely hire them again for our next retreat! Highly recommend! read more

Saint Germain Catering - BBQ Sandwich meal (ribs, BBQ chicken, pulled pork, brisket, corn bread, wedge salad, cole slaw, and mini pies). - Caterers Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend for any type of event. Very professional

Been using this caterer for several occasions, including food drop off for Halloween for small gathering and holiday party for over 40 people. Nothing but great compliments. The quality of food is excellent, reheating instructions are a breeze, and if hiring staff, they are very efficient, but one knock I will have is the bartender we had, didn't know how to make many drinks. They have many menu options to choose from, we're never late to setup, and prices are quite reasonable. Highly recommend this caterer for anyone looking for an in home caterer with a bit more elevated food and presentation. read more

I've used Saint Germain now for several events -- both work and personal. For my personal events, I used them to cater a friend's baby shower, then used them for my own bridal shower, and finally used them to cater our rehearsal dinner. Each time, Saint Germain was so easy to work with and professional + we received so many compliments on the food. They were even able to accommodate special requests like adding an ice cream sundae bar to our rehearsal dinner + last minute linen rentals and menu changes. I plan to keep using them for future dinners and parties and would highly recommend if you need an affordable yet unique and delicious caterer in the DC area! read more

We just used Saint Germain and couldn't be happier! Everything was perfect and the staff were friendly and knew their jobs. Everyone loved the food and especially liked Andres the bartender. I used Stefanie Garcia to co-ordinate and would recommend her highly. You can't go wrong with this firm. read more

This was my first time hiring a catering company, and based on the reviews and responsiveness of Saint Germain Catering decided to go with them; and was not disappointed. We hired Saint Germain for a neighborhood party and could not have been happier with the experience. The food and staff were amazing. Everyone raved about the food; was absolutely delicious and generous portions. They arrived on time, were very professional and friendly; and went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothy. We were very impressed with their flexibility, as the weather was very unpredictable and they immediately made adjustments. I would like to thank Carrie (Sales Office) for her assistance, she was so responsive and helpful. Also the two servers for our event were so professional and friendly. I will definitely hire Saint Germain for future events. read more

Saint Germain Catering is the all time best catering company out there. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. Carrie is a dream to work with. They respond promptly and are beyond easy to work with. I always have two servers and they are top notch. I can actually enjoy my guest knowing that they are making sure everything is running perfectly. I use them annually for my husband's yearly Groundhog Party. Our guest are always asking who is the caterer because everyone is so impressed with the quality of the food and the ease of the flow of the party. You will not go wrong with this company! read more

Rather short on lead time in planning for a baby shower, SGC came through with flying colors. Web site shows awesome choices, responses were prompt, several menu options were offered (different styles, different price points), all wonderful. Delivery service was professional, on time, and well done. And the food ?? Fabulous!! A delicious time was had by all!! Many thanks to Carrie and staff for making a wonderful event. read more

How did I not know they were right in my backyard?! Had them cater a work lunch for 25. They tweaked some of the items to fit our needs (ex: light sauce in the pasta, but extra on the side). Food was delicious. We had chicken, meatballs, 2 types of pastas, salad and bread. Decent size servings too. My boss and I did a tasting first. Good lawd, for a small fee you get quite a bit of food. Very friendly, courteous and prompt. I would definitely use them again. read more

We got Saint Germain to cater our wedding. My husband & I were beyond satisfied. Here's why: 1. In a world where other businesses upsell & price-gouge couples for weddings, Saint Germain was transparent all the way through. When we asked for quote, they gave us a very clear list of packages they offered (i.e. how many kinds of appetizers & entrees & the price per person, not some fluffy non-descriptive name) and an interesting menu to choose from. They also were honest about the costs of labor, upgraded chafing dishes, utensil rentals from the very start, all of which were reasonable for a 50-person, buffet-style wedding. 2. Stefany & Carrie in their front office were also on top of communication. They accommodated various guest allergies & dietary restrictions (gluten-free, vegan/vegetarian, nut allergies). After our tasting, we were also able to request a switch from chicken breast to boneless chicken thigh. They were also flexible with various changing headcounts & plans. 3. We got a lot of compliments on the food, especially from our vegetarian guests. The mushroom strudel and the crispy cauliflower with zhug were a big hit. Perhaps the biggest compliment was that we had the least amount of leftovers we've seen at a wedding so far, because guests went back for multiple helpings and took some home. 4. The setup & service was also very detail-oriented. They set up the buffet such that the meat dishes were earlier in the line & the vegetarian/vegan dishes were later, so that people with no restrictions would fill up their plates first, leaving the people with restrictions with more than their fair share of food. The two servers were also mindful of our mixed indoor/outdoor setup & tended to guests in both spaces. They also helped me avert a cake accident when some of slices started to tip over, even though we didn't get cake cutting service. read more

Saint Germain did an awesome job catering an engagement party for our daughter and her fiance. They helped craft a perfect menu and the delivery was super. They set up the trays we ordered and got everything ready for us. And the best part of it all was that the food was yummy. All of our guests loved everything they ate and commented about how delicious it was. We will definitely be using them again. read more

Had a dinner party for about 24 people. The food was excellent and the staff on site did a great job of setting up, keeping the food at the right temperature, and cleaning up. Will definitely use again. Lots of guests asked for their name! read more

Incredible Catering Experience! This was my first time working with a caterer, and I'm officially never going back to doing it myself! The team made the entire process so easy and stress-free. From narrowing down menu options to setting up two hours early, they handled everything with professionalism and care. They thoughtfully selected serving areas to ensure conversation and flow weren't impeded, kept an eye on food levels to replenish as needed, and even helped tidy up our own glasses by collecting and organizing them in one place. They came prepared with beautiful, seasonal disposable napkins, plates, and silverware--plus their own trash bags to leave everything spotless. Communication throughout the process was responsive and clear, answering all my questions and outlining next steps. They truly went above and beyond, making the event seamless and enjoyable for everyone. I highly recommend Saint Germain Catering for any event--you'll be so glad you did! read more

I recently used Saint Germain catering for my daughter's bat mitzvah luncheon which was hosted at my house. Everything was perfect when we arrived after the service, with a beautifully laid out spread ready to go. The food was delicious, and we got a ton of compliments from our guests. We booked one staff member, but they sent an extra complimentary trainee, which really helped to keep everything run smoothly. They provided just the right amount of attention and cleaned everything up amazingly fast, with the leftovers packaged and ready for us before I knew they were even done. We enjoyed the leftovers all week. read more

We used Saint Germain Catering this past weekend for my son's first communion. We had 20 people for our event and didn't feel comfortable going to a restaurant during this time, so we decided to cater at home. I also did not feel like cooking and boy am I glad with the outcome! The food was delivered on-time and they even set up everything for me on my kitchen island, all I had to do was invite my guests to eat! And the food was AMAZING! The Crab Legs were perfectly cooked, the lobster sliders melted in our mouths and were divine! Shrimp cocktail was very fresh and the Crab Cakes were filled with CRABMEAT - hardly any fillers - everything was a hit!!! I also ordered pork ribs (due to a family member who doesn't eat seafood) and they were falling off the bone delicious! They were even able to accommodate my dad who is Vegan! As a graduate of culinary school and a very picky foodie- I would HIGHLY recommend Saint Germain for your next event, you will not be disappointed!!! read more

I can't recommend Saint Germain Catering enough! I recently hired them for a friend's baby shower and they exceeded my expectations. Here are a few reasons why: -Their communication prior to the event was amazing. Stefany was beyond responsive and extremely prompt answering any and all questions I had. If she was out, another team member would help and they were just as responsive! -The catering menu is extensive providing meal options for all food preferences - I chose a mixture of meat and veggie options and they were all delicious. -Food presentation was top notch! Everything looked beautiful when all set up. -We hired a bartender and server- they were super nice and professional and even arrived to the event before me for setup. They were both fantastic and were fast with cleanup and even put all the leftover food in to-go containers for us to take home. -During the event I kept hearing, the food is delicious so that was a huge hit with all the guests! I will definitely be contacting Saint Germain Catering again in the future. Thank you!!!!! read more

We hired Saint Germain Catering for a family picnic for 45 people. Everything about them was fantastic! - Planning the menu with the staff over the phone worked wonderfully. - We needed everything prepared gluten free for celiac family members. They made us feel very comfortable in their understanding of what this meant and in their execution. - We had ample delicious healthy options (lots of veggies that were fantastic)...very different from over-salted/over-sauced catered food that some companies provide. - The delivery was on-time and super efficient. We will definitely use Saint Germain Catering again! read more

SGC was responsive, easy to work with, and provided a wonderful experience start to finish. After being ghosted by another caterer a week before our child's birthday party, SGC jumped in. The food was delicious - we did 5 appetizers - and delivery was seamless and a breeze (thanks Mauricio!). Highly recommend! read more

I Googled caterers near me and I am so thankful I found Saint Germain Catering! The event was my daughter's baby shower who wanted a Mexican theme. Stefany was a pleasure to work with and provided me with several options. We chose the steak/chicken fajitas and Carne Asada/Carnitas for the taco bar. The guests raved about how delicious the food tasted. The delivery was on time, the food was labeled which made it easier for setup, and the guests were amazed by how much food there was. I will definitely call them for our next big event! Thank you. read more

My occasion for engaging Saint Germain's services was not a joyous one; they catered my husband's celebration of life. We had a variety of dietary restrictions and preferences in attendance, and Saint Germain was able to help me put together a menu that accommodated them all. Their prices were reasonable, their staff were punctual and professional, and their food was fantastic. Saint Germain helped make one of the hardest things I've ever done a little easier, and they will always have my gratitude for that. read more

We just had our holiday party and their food and service was truly phenomenal! So many of our guest loved what we offered and their staff was efficient, friendly, and so helpful. Definitely using them again for our future holiday parties. read more

Did a great job on short notice and accommodated some menu changes. A little pricey, but that's catering for you, especially in this area.

They did an excellent job catering my party. Everyone loved the food! The strawberry cream puffs were out of this world!

Definitely recommend. Multiple guests asked me for the name of the caterer, and complimented how very good the sweet treats were. (They provided light refreshments after a funeral.) Their professionalism through the estimating, booking, delivery, and pick-up processes was top notch, and everything was delivered and picked up on schedule. It was an emotionally difficult day, but I could focus on guests and the memorial because they'd had taken care of the refreshments so smoothly. read more

Just got married and Saint Germain catered our wedding. Of all of our vendors, they were by far the easiest to work with and provided the best service. Nelson and Julio and their team manned were so great and I simply cannot speak highly enough of them. Oh and the food was fantastic too. Vegetables were crisp, yet cooked all the way through just as an indicator or how good the cooking is. read more

AMAZING catering experience!! Everything we ordered (couscous, potato salad, brisket, corn, muffin) was delicious and the pickup process was seamless. read more

We hired St. Germain's for my wedding. They were professional, and easy to work with. Food was delicious and cooked well to our preferences. Morgan is phenomenal to work with helpful, and professional. I enjoyed the various types of meals such as the Around the World Buffets. Our guests loved the different and fun menus that they never had at other weddings. They kept talking about the food even weeks later. I highly recommend for any event or occasion. read more

I order from this catering company a lot for my job. The food is always delicious, delivered on time. They have a great menu and can always fulfil dietary restrictions. The staff is pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend them. read more

Incredible food, service and overall experience! I hired Saint Germain for my husbands surprise 50th party for about 100 people at my home - I got so many compliments on how good the food was. We had the beef tenderloin and chicken Milanese with yummy brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes and harvest salad! Oh my god - it was so good and the beef was so tender and juicy! The servers were amazing - cleaning up during the party and so friendly! I also hired two bartenders from Saint Germain and provided my own liquor, beer and wine - bartenders were sooo friendly and fun! I would definitely hire them again! They even took garbage with them because my garbage can was full! Such a great caterer! read more

Wow! This was my first experience utilizing a caterer to source and manage an outdoor party. Luckily for our family, we selected Saint Germaine from Vienna (Tyco Road) and they were absolutely the right choice! Fantastic! I had received 3 references for a caterer and chose saint Germaine. From the moment I called (Carrie) I knew I had made the right decision as she was just so accomodating, patient, and flexible with me and spending the time explaining the process to a newbie like me. The follow-up communication by email was fantastic as her responsiveness was an A+. The 8 appetizers (290 pieces) and the buffet dinner we chose was really, really tasty! I was actually surprised that catering food could be that good. The event was an outdoor engagement party and Carrie's (Saint Germaine) assigned 4-person team of a Captain, Bartender, and 2 staff all did everything and my wife, daughter, and fiancee were free with no responsibility except to mingle, and enjoy the scrumptious food and great service.! The 4-person team arrived promptly 2 hours before party start and set-up all the tables and serving ware. In addition, 2 weeks before party start the Saint Germaine "Captain" came out to our house and we jointly decided on how everything should be set-up. The Captain's experience in set-up was great so we knew the party set-up was perfect. And perhaps the ultimate compliment to Saint Germaine, besides my best and top rating, is that several of my Vienna friends wanted me to forward me their contact info! Thank you Saint Germaine and Carrie! Everything was perfect! Feel free to use me or my wife as a customer reference! Steve and Debbie Vienna, VA read more
