Ashly Kaye's Catering Services 

4.5

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Shipman, VA

I am a thirty-nine year old mother of two. I have been in food service for over twenty years, and have been catering for fifteen. I specialize in southern style food and absolutely love trying new foods any time. I was taught to cook by my late Grandmother starting as soon as I could sit on a counter top.

Ashly Kaye's Catering Services was wonderful to work with for my daughters rehearsal dinner and wedding. They had open communication throughout the planning process and were always available to answer our questions. The staff was fantastic - they ensured the appetizers were readily available to all guest and the tables were beautifully set. The food was excellent (received many compliments) and we received great value for the quality and service provided. We highly recommend Ashly Kaye's Catering Services for their wonderful staff, excellent food, and helpful communication. They truly contributed to making the day perfect. I have added a few photos below.

The Local Restaurant & Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Shipman, VA

The Local is a full-service catering company that specializes in weddings, social gatherings & corporate events. Grand or intimate, focused on tradition or leaning toward trendy, your vision along with our capable guidance will reflect your personal style. Our staff is committed to details, offering unique options, bringing creativity and passion to the planning process.

It's been weeks since our wedding, and we're still getting an insane amount of compliments and questions on our wedding dinner! One of my bridesmaids even asked if I could get the recipe for The Local's truffle mushroom pasta (the resounding favorite from all of our guests, and for good reason). The other favorite (especially from my husband) was their apple crisp. It's common knowledge that the bride and groom don't get a ton of time to eat on the wedding day. We'd built out a private dinner right after cocktail hour but before sunset photos, and we got to eat a little bit of everything. Let me tell you -- I'm still thinking about the scalloped potatoes I had. I could have had an entire plate of those and still have been happy. We also had the chicken and green beans, and it's an understatement to say everything was incredible. Every dish was high quality, remained hot through the buffet, and were filling but didn't make you feel too heavy/sleepy to dance all night afterwards. Not only was the food amazing, but working with Helen and her team through our engagement was so easy. The Local is very thorough and sends over clear paperwork, including a contract with all items and payments broken down, and they were really responsive with any questions we had along the way. They even had a specific food option for those with allergies or dietary restrictions. Their team also helped set up and take down everything, and really made our dreams come true with the place settings and floor plan. It was absolutely beautiful. Overall, we could not recommend them more, and are hoping we get to attend a wedding where they're the vendor so we can eat more of their food! Thank goodness they're also a restaurant; we'll definitely be going there to relive our wedding dinner yet again :)

L'etoile Catering 

5.0

  • Serves Shipman, VA

We began serving Charlottesville with French and Virginia-inspired cooking at our restaurant, l’etoile, in 1993. Our catering business grew out of that experience, and out of our desire to take part in the celebrations, the rituals, and the ceremonies of people throughout the Central Virginia community. Catering allows us to reach, care for, and serve a larger audience, and to customize consistently excellent culinary experiences for our clients. We have a history of procuring the finest, freshest ingredients for the meals we create and serve, and access to those ingredients through relationships we’ve cultivated for more than 20 years.

We were so excited for L'etoile's catering after our menu tasting, and the team did not disappoint! Dozens of our guests have approached us raving about the food. Vickie and Mark did a wonderful job, and we couldn't be happier with their work. Would absolutely recommend!

5.0

DAH Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $10,000
  • Serves Shipman, VA

Ashley and Carter East operate DaH out of their commercial kitchen near the Downtown Mall. They share a passion for local food and interesting cuisine from around the world. With 25+ years of catering experience, they bring the expertise required to execute events from the casual to the elegant. Ashley's training comes from working under a few of the finest chefs in Charlottesville, at some the best restaurants in area, such as The Clifton Inn and The Ivy Inn. She furthered her skills at the Cookery at the Grange in Somerset, England.

DAH Catering was fabulous to work with at every stage of our pandemic-delayed wedding celebration and planning. I think that you learn a lot about who people are when things get tough. And what we learned about Ashley and Carter as we *twice* had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid is that they are incredibly kind and compassionate people who cared about us as people and not just as clients. They would earn my unreserved recommendation for that alone. But in addition to being great people they are also consummate professionals and talented caterers. The food was delicious and the whole process of choosing our menu was very smooth, even when we had to change practically our entire plan a month out to better suit a smaller wedding. They handled all of the details of our rentals, so that all we had to do was go and pick out what we wanted. Everything during our event was smooth and seamless, so much so that we didn't have to think about it at all. The food looked great, tasted great, and was served quickly and on time. The bar service was particularly impressive, and Carter worked overtime with me to get our signature cocktails just how we wanted them. While we had many hiccups getting to and through our wedding day, it was nothing but smooth sailing with our entire catering service. I would recommend anyone getting married in the Charlottesville area to work with DAH Catering. You'll get great service provided by great people--we couldn't have asked for more!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so lucky to have found Autumn's Custom Catering for our wedding! We found it was still cheaper to pay their travel fee to go from Richmond to Charlottesville than to find a local caterer and we so appreciate them making the long haul for us! Claudine and staff were friendly, informative, and responsive. The food was AMAZING and all of the catering staff went above and beyond to make our day special. They even helped put away decor and chairs at the end of the night while boxing up our leftovers (which we're still enjoying a week later!) We got so many compliments on both the food and the helpfulness of the catering crew and we cannot thank them enough!!

Blue Ridge Pizza Co 

5.0

  • Serves Shipman, VA

We are Jay and Melissa Johnson - the dream team behind BRPCO. Melissa does the booking & Jay does the cooking :-). Between the two of us, we have over 20 years of hospitality industry experience. Let us wow you with the amazing wood-fired deliciousness that comes out of our 100% wood fire oven! It is “Love at First Bite” we can promise you that!

I can not even begin to express how grateful I am for Melissa & Jay and their wonderful crew. Besides choosing the groom, this was the BEST decision we made for our wedding :) The food was absolutely amazing, such good service and quantities our guests were raving and full! They were so incredibly thoughtful and intentional about taking care of our guests (getting my sister in law with a newborn food and taking care of her, making sure the groom and I were fed and had drinks, taking care of my elderly guests etc etc) they went ABOVE and beyond. Our wedding coordinator last minute got sick and I was absolutely worried about everything, they came early on the wedding day and I trusted Melissa, she absolutely ensured everything was what I dreamed of. If you are looking for a thoughtful and incredible catering, look no further I would choose them again in an instant. ️ the absolute best we will be searching for their events to visit them again.

Awarded Best of Zola
We arranged to have the Tuck-ins team come to our wedding to set up a table with small fire stations and Tuck-ins so that our guests could roast their own s'mores as a fun, interactive dessert. All of my guests loved them and they were also able to take some home if they wanted to save one for later. Additionally, working with the Tuck-ins team was great; they're very responsive and were even able to customize the labels on the Tuck-ins to have our names and wedding date on them. It was truly a unique part of our wedding and I think everyone enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
