Hausfrau Catering

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves The Plains, VA

Hausfrau is an upscale catering and events company putting the JOY back into hosting and wedding planning. Let us take care of all the details. We love themes ~and FOOD~ not just German! We can develop the perfect menu, layout, decor, and more to create a unique experience for your guests at your price point. Our team takes the time to hear your ideas, envision your perfect event with you, implement our shared plan, and ensure everyone enjoys our hospitality from start to finish. Our focus on aesthetics means we plate and garnish food on white china platters and wood instead of just dropping off disposable aluminum pans for you to figure out!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Hausfrau Catering for my 80th birthday celebration, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience! As an Austrian-born immigrant, it was essential for me to reflect my heritage in the event, and Hausfrau delivered beyond my expectations. From the moment I contacted Kristin Sanders, I knew I was in good hands. This was my first experience hiring a caterer, and Kristin was nothing short of amazing. She assisted me in planning the menu and remained incredibly accommodating as my guest list grew from 35 to 65. Throughout the planning process, she was mindful of my budget, while ensuring that everything was just right. The staff arrived on time and set up beautifully, donning stunning Austrian Dirndl dresses that added a special touch to the event. The food was absolutely perfect! We had a delightful array of German and Austrian dishes, complemented by some American favorites. The hors d'oeuvres, pretzel bar, buffet with three main dishes, and dessert received rave reviews from my guests, who are still talking about the meal and the event! The website portal was user-friendly and reflected the professionalism I experienced throughout the planning process. Hausfrau Catering will be my go-to reference for any future occasions. Thank you, Kristin and the entire Hausfrau team, for making my birthday celebration truly unforgettable!

Hi, my name is Katrina! I have been coordinating weddings for almost over a decade now. I started doing weddings with my mother who was an event planner and designer at the time and fell in love with the process and being part of such a beautiful occasion. I work with clients directly from weeks to several months to help curate, design, execute making their dream come to fruition!

I had the pleasure of working with Katrina as our wedding coordinator and I cannot speak highly enough of her attention to detail and meticulous planning. Though I had 15 people in my wedding, due to covid, it still felt like a dream come true getting married that day. She had planned a mini surprise for my best friends to come and see me before I got married which was very special. I thank Katrina for making my wedding a memorable one and even though it wasn’t traditional because of covid, she was still able to bring out what I had envisioned for my covid-19 wedding. Her quality of service was superb and I highly recommend.

Brin’s Posy is named after my beloved dog. She passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, leaving myself and her pup sister (Abby) to figure out life without her. We were months of grieving her loss when a close friend insisted I channel the grief energy into something positive. A bell went off in my head as my current job as a florist in a far away town was coming to an end. Brin’s Posy helped me come to terms with the loss. I still have Abby (the shop girl) in the shop daily and occasionally out to our farm venues! We love to source local and work with community members.

We were delighted to work with Cailyn for our wedding. The arrangements that she made were truly stunning and received so many compliments. She helped us to work smart to stay within budget and we were able to reuse arrangements for the ceremony and reception while no one was the wiser. This speaks to her artistic ability with flowers and her professionalism around her business. Many businesses in the wedding space will gouge prices and charge for things you don't need. I'm happy to report that Brin's Posy exceeded all of our expectations and made all of our wedding photos just a little extra special.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

My goal is to make sure every video I create represents you as the couple exactly as you are and tells the story of your day in a way that preserves the emotion and memories for years to come. I love to work with people from all walks of life and am inclusive of every type of love story. As I grow in my art and in my business, I find myself leaning more and more toward authenticity. During your day, I want to capture your true selves, therefore I do very little posing or staging. I will gently guide you during couples portraits, or point you toward the best light, but other than that, I strive to be as unobstrusive as possible.

Are you tired of scrolling through wedding websites full of photos of shoes/calligraphy/earrings/etc. and wondering where the people are? Do you love moments more than things? If yes, you're in the right place. Forget about the table settings, instead embrace spontaneous joy and honest, natural moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Darcy was an absolute pleasure to work with and we LOVE our photos. She truly captured the emotions of the day and the essence of all the people we love the most. Any time i look at our photos, i find myself involuntarily smiling. She captured the classic posed photos AND the precious in-between moments where people are being their most authentic selves (the face my dad makes when he's really intently listening, the hand gestures my mom uses when she's explaining something and can't find the right words, the face my mother in law makes when she's cracking herself up, the face my father in law makes right before the tears fall, and so so many more). Not ONLY are her photos amazing, but she made us feel so relaxed on the day-of. Her style is totally unobtrusive, which is just what we needed. Darcy got such amazing photos of all our guests we put 4x6" prints in our thank you cards and people were SO appreciative. She's on fridges across America. Comments we've gotten in response to Darcy's photos: "WOW your photographer is phenomenal", "this is the best photo of us in existence", "you guys look so happy!", "I feel like the photographer really captured your personalities" If capturing joy is important to you, hire Darcy. My only regret is getting her for 7 hours instead of 9.

My husband and I got married in September in Providence, RI. I knew I wanted a photographer that was bright and colorful because of the venue and vibe of the day. I was nervous I wasn’t going to be able to find someone and would need to settle because I planned our wedding in 4 months. The original photographer I reached out to was not available and gave me Maria’s information. I was excited that she had the availability on such short notice, but once we had our first call with her I knew we had made the right decision and the day was going to be a blast. Communication up to our wedding was precise and clear. When the day came, it felt like we had known Maria and Jackson our entire lives. It was like hanging out with some of our closest friends. They made sure we got all the shots that we wanted, but also still enjoyed every second of the day. We did do a first look so it helped with picture timing but what was considered our cocktail hour (the entire night was cocktail style) they followed us around and took candida and groups when necessary. It was perfect. Not once did we feel like we had taken too many pictures. We got married on a rooftop but they also made sure that we had shots in the city streets and a large variety of locations. When we got our sneak peaks I was truly speechless (and ugly crying). I was absolutely blown away by how PERFECTLY they had captured our day. You could feel the joy radiating from the photos and the colors and clarity was unbelievable. I am still speechless and in awe of how amazing our pictures came out. Our day was absolutely perfect but Maria and Jackson for sure made it memorable with the most breathtaking pictures. They truly tell a story and how fun the entire night was. I look at the photos constantly and I don’t foresee that stopping anytime soon. We get SO many compliments from people about how beautiful they are and everyone asks who the photographer was. I 100000% recommend MTD Photo. Hands down one of the best decisions we could’ve made for the day.

I specialize in capturing the real, candid moments during your wedding day. My approach is all about blending seamlessly into your event. Clients often describe me as calm, cool, and personable. While I take a variety of photos, I stay in the background, moving fluidly throughout the day. My goal is to preserve those fleeting moments, often capturing details you might not have noticed in the excitement of the day. My role also is to make your day stress-free. Whether it's helping direct family for portraits or keeping things running smoothly, I'll be by your side to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough good things about Konrad and his incredible work on both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about his craft. He took the time to understand our vision for photography and delivered beyond our expectations—without breaking the bank! After our engagement shoot he surprised us with a behind the scenes video of our day and we were sold on adding the video option to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he was calm, organized, and made us feel so comfortable. His attention to detail was amazing, capturing all of the candid moments, the beautiful portraits, and even the small, intimate touches we didn’t notice ourselves. He managed to blend seamlessly into the background while still getting the most stunning shots. What really stood out to us was his ability to balance both photography and videography without sacrificing quality in either area. The photos are breathtaking, and the 4 minute wedding video perfectly tells the story of our day, with all the right moments captured in the most beautiful way. We were also impressed with how quickly he turned around our photos and video—it didn’t take long to relive those precious memories! All of this came at a price that was surprisingly reasonable, especially when you consider the high level of service and talent he brings to the table. We truly feel like we got the best of both worlds: top-tier photography and videography at a price that fit our budget. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only meet your expectations but exceed them, we highly recommend Konrad. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable!

As a musical theatre performer, I loved makeup – the cakey, heavy stage looks, not as much. Then, at my own wedding, I found myself in a similar predicament: heavily made up to the point of not looking entirely like myself. I dedicated myself to honing my passion for natural makeup artistry for beauty, bridal, film and TV, perfecting my craft and learning from industry experts. My work has been featured in respected platforms such as Washington Family Magazine, the Emmy Awards, and DCW50 (DC's CW Network). Now, I create timeless, skin-forward makeup looks that put my clients’ natural beauty center stage.

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW! Kiley absolutely blew me away with the look she was able to achieve for my wedding. As a no-makeup girlie, I was quite nervous to wear any on the big day and not feel like myself. Her consultation process is extensive because her attention to detail on every wish you want is spot-on. I told her I wanted a bit of pop of color possibly on my lips but overall just wanted to enhance my beauty with soft pink tones. I highly, highly recommend doing the trial session first because it helped us realize what colors looked good on me and how much makeup I actually wanted on. She is an expert at applying individual fake lashes which 1) helped me not bleed mascara down my face when I cried and 2) looked stunning without looking unnatural! After the trial, I emailed her some of my thoughts and she executed my vision perfectly on the actual day. She also made my mother and maid of honor look absolutely gorgeous; we all felt so confident and beautiful all day long! Most of all, she was just such a sweet presence the day-of and the whole planning process. I am so incredibly appreciative of Kiley's artistic gift and cannot recommend her enough!!!

*PLEASE VISIT MY WEBSITE TO SUBMIT A CONTACT FORM AT WWW.CANDYNOGALES.COM.* MY WEBSITE IS UNDER MY PHOTO ON MY ZOLA PAGE. Hi, I'm Candy! I love capturing all of the raw, beautiful moments as they naturally unfold on your wedding day. Candids are some of my favorite photos! Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens. I would love to chat with you more about your wedding plans and how I can be a part of documenting it!

Maria is super easy to work with and learn from all while making the process run smoothy and efficiently. Her work is amazing and I know a big part of that is due to how much genuine fun people have while shooting with her; she captures those memories beautifully.

In Bloom Photography

Admittedly a hopeless romantic, I simply LOVE love. The beautiful season of life that you're in right now is a gift! Having a photographer you trust throughout the entire wedding planning process, as well as someone willing to advocate for you on your big day, is such an important role, and my biggest honor. The name In Bloom is inspired by my love for flowers and how they can be seen as a metaphor for life. A delicate staple of beauty that grows and withstands the elements, ultimately blooming and weathering the ever- changing seasons. My passion flourishes in capturing life's moments that are beautiful and fleeting, like a flower In Bloom.

Christan is the most warm, caring individual you’ll ever meet. From my first consultation phone call to the dedication she showed in completing our wedding photo gallery, I felt cared for and highly important to her. Not only is she amazing to work with but her photographs made me feel beautiful and will be timeless. My husband and I felt so comfortable taking photos when we’ve never had professional photos taken. If you’re looking for a photographer for any special event, I can not recommend Christan enough. I would have spent 10 times the investment to have had Christan be our photographer. Long story short, Christan is the best and her photography skills are unmatched. Every picture in our gallery is AMAZING! Best hype woman!

Elliot Bear Photography and Lani was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. Her communication style was professional yet she took the time to make us feel comfortable and got to know us, and their work was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, they were positive, personable, and communicative, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. They captured so many special moments that we didn't even realize were happening, and those have become some of our most cherished memories. It was so easy to work with her, and we are thrilled with the beautiful, natural photographs that now allow us to relive our wedding day over and over again. We couldn't recommend Elliot Bear Photography and Lani highly enough.
