    I contacted Rich to cater the Baby Shower Brunch I held on October 2nd. What a fantastic experience. We spoke at length about what I was hoping for and Rich provided me with a very detailed plan to include a server. The menu was a great mix of breakfast and lunch fare and my guests raved about the food. Maria was there to set up and help guests as they went around the brunch table. Simply Elegant provided more than enough food for my event and at the conclusion it was package for use later. I didn't need to provide a thing and for the first time thoroughly enjoyed an event in my home. I highly recommend Simply Elegant, you will not be disappointed.

    Food is super tasty! They tend to overstuff their sandwiches, which means a mess, but also great value! Staff is very kind and accomodating.

They came up with great ideas that fit my budget, space and personality of my neice but even more so, they enabled me to be able to really make it happen without feeling the stress that usually goes along with hosting a big party. They were so helpful from the first planning visit, through picking of vendors to renting/returning supplies. I cannot be more complimentary of this team, recommend this to anyone trying to host a memorable event and will definitely be bag for the next celebration!

Each time I could not have been more pleased with the planning process and the results. They started by coming to my home or the event venue and listened to all the thoughts and ideas we envisioned. They then emailed us a detailed and organized party plan that pulled our ideas together and included vendor suggestions, links to items to purchase and suggestions for decor. They also provided invaluable set up and styling of all the party items on the day of the event. They really elevated each party to something that we could have never done on our own. And the best part was Mara and Rebecca were both genuinely a pleasure to work with. Don't hesitate to call Let's Party if you have an event to plan and want to make is something special!

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!

From start to finish, everything was handled with professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to making the night special. The food was absolutely outstanding--beautifully presented and full of flavor. Multiple guests went out of their way to comment on how delicious everything was, and several even asked for the caterer's name afterward. It really elevated the entire event. What truly stood out, though, was the service. The servers were exceptional--friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. They made sure guests were taken care of without ever being intrusive, and their positive energy added to the overall atmosphere of the party. Shout out to Mauricio and Wilberth!!! Great job guys. Saint Germain Catering played a huge role in making the evening a success, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to host a memorable event. We'll definitely be using them again in the future. -Mike

Adults and children alike were completely enchanted by Mary Poppins and her princess friends - it was such a dazzling morning and Mary Poppins and each princess portrayed their character confidently, flawlessly, and beautifully - as if they walked straight out of their movie or a Disney Park! The vocal talent of each performer was professional and breath-taking; the children were star-struck and the moms were blown away! They are already asking when our next event will be! And our favorite part - Mary Poppins, Asha, Snow White, and Giselle were SO kind and sweet to every child and adult they interacted with. They never broke character and had the voices, accents, and mannerisms down perfectly. Their gowns, accessories and every detail down to their shoes had thought behind it to make it magical. The character attendants who join the characters are always so gracious, joyful and loving as well - they work so hard to make sure everything is thought of and taken care of so that the visit goes smoothly! This was my 7th time booking with OUAT Parties DC and I'll continue to do so because they excel at what they do - making dreams come true and giving families magical memories to treasure forever! We've come to truly love the people behind the magic and are proud to support this beautiful business!

    Overpriced, lots of stress…read more We found out about L'ambiance and Priti through our wedding planner while preparing for our wedding Dec 2020. Covid ultimately shut down our event. As a result, we had to eat a portion of the cost of flowers for the event as well as needing to contract to use them for when we rescheduled. This was fine and we ate that cost. When we were able to finally manage to get all vendors to agree on a new date, we found out that l'ambiance increased fees as now the wedding would take place in the summer. Keep that in mind when planning. Priti was busy and unable to meet with me in person to actually start planning until maybe 10 weeks before the rescheduled and larger wedding. We went back and fourth many times on ideas and ultimately finalized our contract merely two weeks before the wedding. At this point, even if I didn't like the pricing, there was no time for me to even shop around for anyone else. There were many little mistakes/fees added such as any supplies they had prepared to use for the canceled dec wedding and the prices of things were not consistent between contracts. (My advice is to print each proposal bc you cannot refer to the previous to see what she was charging, so if one price was negotiated down, something else was "mistakingly" increased to recoup costs) Also the week before the wedding she realized her system had made a mistake on the contract and needed us to re-adjust yet again. Just extremely stressful and didn't really foster trust from my perspective. Ultimately, the finished product was fine. There were things that she claimed to take "artistic" liberties on but that mostly looked like they ran out of flowers plus she never ran those "liberties" past me. For someone spending 30k + divided between two events, she never connected with us after she got her money. When you are doing your budgeting, also add that you will have to provide a lot of hotel rooms for her workers even if the venue is only 1.5 hours away from her office. Also, some of her workers were found to have crashed our wedding and got drunk off our open bar and were found puking behind the event location. I'm glad they had a hotel nearby to sober up to break down the decor on Sunday morning. She will deny this. In the end, I would advise that you carefully review your contracts and that no matter what you agree and sign for, vendors can/and will change it last minute as there is no contract police to help you on your wedding day. Also, be aware that anything custom made for your event you will pay exorbitant pricing for and you will not be able to keep it without paying an even bigger price to take it off her hands. Long story short, end product was fine, sure, but very overpriced. Be prepared for a lot of miscommunication back and fourth and last minute contract changes as you will find many mistakes. Very stressful process.
