Perhaps the most exciting part of any wedding, especially when working with Creative Catering of Virginia. From our initial tasting at their marvelous center to the flawless execution of our plated wedding dinner, Creative Catering excels in all aspects of food preparation and presentation. As a couple that eats at many restaurants, we were beyond impressed by the very diverse selection of food and the quality of each dish. Creative Catering did not miss a beat in any regard during our wedding. Their bartenders and catering staff were top-notch and personable. At the end of the night they were worth every penny! We would highly recommend using Creative Catering of Virginia for your special day!

Clyde and I would recommend Creative Catering to EVERYONE for any Event Big or small. If you can Dream it Rev and Samantha will make it come True. From the moment I sat down with Rev to give my vision to the tasting when Samantha took over. To the day of our Wedding 09/11/2021 Rev and Samantha went above and beyond to make our guest feel special. All of our guest were blown away at the level of Customer Service Creative Catering gave. They made all of our guest feel like they were the most important people in the World. Clyde and I wanted our Guest to come and relax and enjoy, and Creative Catering made that happen. Our guest were not only given the most amazing Food but were waited on hand and foot. Thank you Rev and Samantha for making our day so very special. We could never repay Creative Catering for the whole experience they gave our Guest. My Mama lives in Italy and was able to attend the Wedding she said that she felt like she was back in Italy. The food and service were Primo!Love Clyde and Erin

From the first phone call with Caitlin to the many emails and our tasting with Kristen, Creative Catering was a DREAM to work with on our big day! They were so organized and so attentive to detail and listened to every want that we had. Everyone at our wedding raved about the food and still continue to talk about how it was the best food they ever had at a wedding! The staff was phenomenal and checked on us throughout the entire night! During cocktail hour when we were taking pictures they brought us and our wedding party appetizers and brought my wife and I drinks, made sure we were checked on during dinner, and during the reception kept a drink in our hands the entire night (per our request)! The bartenders were also so much fun and our guests had no issues! If you're looking for the perfect catering team to host any event, they are the ones to book with!

Creative Catering of VA did our vow renewal @ The Venue @ Cahoon. They did an outstanding job! The food from cocktail hour, salad, main course and sides were delicious! My guests loved everything as did my husband and I. I am vegetarian and they had no problem giving me vegetarian options while still meeting the taste buds of my husband and guests. They were able to satisfy everyone! I can not recommend them enough!

The staff at Creative Catering of Virginia from the beginning was very attentive to what I needed, prompt in their responses to my questions and concerns, very professional and courteous to my guests and myself at my Mother's Birthday Celebration at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens this summer, and the food was delicious! Thank you so much to all of you for a WONDERFUL experience! Miriam Ross

We used Creative Catering of Virginia for our wedding catering and bartending last month. We had gone to several tastings and events in order to find the perfect option for us. Karen at Creative Catering was by far the most professional and helpful person we met along the way! Not only did she help us design the perfect menu for our budget, she also helped with other things too. For example, she was able to give us our napkins ahead of time with the sparkly ring holders that we bought for the event. During the wedding, the staff of creative catering were extremely helpful! They butlered apps at cocktail hour and they made sure to visit us, the bride and groom, when we were posing for family portraits. They helped in every way they could. They helped with design work, they helped with set up, they help with breakdown, they helped with the bar when the bar line was too long. They were just wonderful to work with and we were very impressed at the level of service! Our head table never had an empty glass! I was so happy that we went with Creative Catering and we can’t give enough positive feedback on Karen! She was absolutely fabulous!

Our wedding was on 5/22/22 in Virginia Beach. Would highly recommend CCVA for catering needs! From the moment we were looking at hiring them, all the way up to the wedding day, staff were always available and willing to help and answer a million questions. On the day of our wedding, everything was amazing. The food, the staff, everything went super smooth and we had a lot of compliments from our guests! Thank you all for everything. PS- I also hired them for another event for my work and it went off without a hitch too!

This company catered my son‘s wedding on June 4 and did an absolutely fabulous job! If I could give them 100 stars I would. The staff was courteous and professional, the food was delicious and plentiful, and they were discreet in serving and clearing all of the tables. I would strongly recommend them for a wedding or any other special event. Peggy Snead Owner, The Apple Blossom Inn

We greatly enjoyed the service and staff of Creative Catering! The food was delicious and the entire planning process went off without a hitch. Their office team responded within the day and were able to answer any questions or concerns I had during the planning process. Their buffet options are incredibly flexible!! The kid meals came out a few minutes late (which led kids to eating buffet food) but it all worked out in the end! I 100% recommend CCVA for any event!

I’m expressing my gratitude to the Team at Creative Catering who thoughtfully catered my beloved brother’s celebration of life at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens on April 24, 2022. They were such a professional and kind crew who ensured timely set-up and a delicious offering of heavy hors d’oeuvres to our many guests. Everything was lovely and everything was devoured. I highly recommend this company for ease of coordination and overall wonderful service. I especially want to thank Caitlin for putting my mind at ease during this difficult time; she was terrific every step of the way. Many thanks again from the Navarro family.

Creative Catering has been amazing to work with for our wedding! They assisted us every step of the way, were readily available if we had questions or needed anything, and ensured that our wedding was magical! The food was some of the best we've ever had, the staff were attentive and wonderful, and the whole process was incredibly easy. We can not thank them enough or recommend them highly enough! They are truly incredible!

When we first started looking for a caterer, Creative was by far the most responsive and offered the best value. Caitlin was easy to work with, and was responsive to my many questions. At some point in the process, (I think shortly after booking), Samantha took over communication. Samantha was also responsive, but there seemed to be some confusion about a number of details, and we had a lot more back and forth to iron things out. At our tasting, the food was fantastic. We made a few minor adjustments, then settled on our final menu, and began working on the final banquet event order document, but with more points of confusion. Come wedding day, the food was amazing, but there were minor things that stood out as "this was not what we settled on." For example, we did family-style dinner, and we had said we (the bride and groom) would serve ourselves with the head table. Plates were brought out for us, and everyone else had to wait a bit - not what we wanted, but fine, no big deal. The cake was supposed to be cut after we did ours, but it was not, and guests were cutting their own slices - Creative did not cut the rest of the cake until I pointed out to our DoC that it was tipping over (guests weren't sure if they were supposed to cut the top layer so were only cutting the bottom one). Bartending - we supplied our own alcohol, and had provided a list of cocktails (with recipes). We were assured this was not a problem. The day of the wedding, I noted that one of the bartenders was rather rude! I sent a note to Samantha after the wedding, and was informed that the rest of the staff had also noticed issues with this bartender, and it was being handled. A few days after the wedding, we got our leftover alcohol back from the groom's parents, and I immediately noticed an issue. One of our specialty cocktails, which SEVERAL people told me they ordered on the day, called for equal parts Absinthe, lemon juice, Lillet Blanc, and Elderflower Liqueur, along with a splash of gin. I was told by at least one person that the bar ran out of gin about halfway through the evening, which I found odd at the time. We did not receive back any gin from the groom's parents, but we did receive a nearly full bottle of Absinthe, an unopened bottle of Lillet Blanc, and no Elderflower Liqueur. Based on this, it's easy to guess what happened - the bartenders were making the cocktail entirely out of Elderflower and gin, which was not even close to the recipe. I also noted this to Samantha, and was told it would be looked into. A while later, Samantha informed us that Creative would be refunding us the bartender service fee for the rude bartender, along with half of the service fee for the other bartender for the poor service. Great! Finally, we had provided our own cake knife and server, which we used for our cutting. These were supposed to have been returned to us at the end of the night, but were not. I sent out an email to see if anyone had them, and Samantha said they found the knife, but not the server. No word yet on whether they've found it, nor when we'll be getting our knife. Again, the food was fantastic. The catering staff (NOT the bartenders) were WONDERFUL, and everyone was very pleased with them and the food. I would recommend Creative for their food services, but not bartending. Caitlin was very easy to work with, and while Samantha clearly tried (she had mentioned at one point she is new to the industry), she fell short a few times.

Superb service, attention to detail, and response time. Truly an amazing experience, from top to bottom. We were so incredibly pleased by the personality of every server: they were great with all of our guests, even the kids, that the compliments about them all were constant! A shoutout to them for treating my now wife and I wonderfully at our sweetheart table, making us feel special and amongst friends! The settings and arrangements of all tables were beautiful and exquisite. The food was excellent, all of our notes from our initial tastings correctly applied while also making adjustments on the fly for guests, and the gluten free menu options were accommodating and a blessing. Overall, we happily recommend Creative Catering for any events. In fact, we plan to use them again in the future, the food was THAT good! Thanks again for a fantastic evening straight out of our dreams!

We found the folks at Creative Catering to be were very easy to work with and we appreciated their ability to connect with what we were looking to do with our event. We didn't get that feeling of confidence with anyone else. They were super personable and really took the time to make sure all the crazy ideas and details we were looking for were met (even down to menu items that were locally sourced and/or had a local flare to them). They had great options for our gluten free guests and even considered “kid friendly” items. We strongly recommend Rev and his crew for any size event you might have.

Samantha Carter

First of all, they were incredible friendly from the first phone conversation I had with the rep from creative catering (Caitlin). She never tried to up-sell me on anything and was very honest about what I would actually need for my wedding. We only had about 70 guests so we really didn't need an extravagant amount of food/beverage packages/etc. and they were SO affordable (about $2000 less than all the other catering companies I had gotten quotes from). The tasting was amazing. I brought my parents with me and there was so much leftover food from the tasting, I brought home an entire extra meal for my fiance. Everything tasted amazing (even my dad who is a picky eater loved all of the options). On the wedding day, the staff was so friendly and professional. They were efficient in setting up, constantly asked the bridal party if we needed anything even BEFORE the ceremony, and offered to finish some of the set up from our decorations, like turning on all of the centerpiece lights and fairy lights we had set up around the venue before dinner. I got SO many compliments on the food and it was even better tasting than I had remembered. Seriously, if you want a worry-free day, hire these caterers ASAP!

Nicki Ackerson

We had a great experience using CCoV. The planning process was simple and fun. Our wedding day went even better. The food was delicious and we even had a fun crostini station for our cocktail hour which was a huge hit. Everything was taken care of start to finish and we would recommend them to everyone!

Jeff Mingee

Hosted a dinner event at the Virginia Air and Space Center with Creative Catering of VA catering. Wonderful! They were helpful in the preparation process as well as during the event. Easy to work with and everyone enjoyed the food. Got high compliments through the evening!

Sumner Higginbotham

I cannot believe anyone has given Creative anything less than 5 stars. They catered our outdoor wedding in October 2020 in Yorktown- middle of a pandemic- and did an absolutely fantastic job. Caitlin was proactive in anticipating challenges, very responsive, and always on the look-out for ways to help. As far as the day of- excellent, the bar staff was so fun and professional, the food came on time, we got the taco option and that was delicious. We still get compliments about the food, four months later! Creative catering really went above and beyond- they were even helping us with set-up at the venue for things completely unrelated to food. Cannot recommend them highly enough- this is a wedding vendor at a fair price that also is a stress reliever!

We are so thankful that we contacted Creative Catering and they were able to accommodate us on short notice. It allowed us to enjoy our daughters 1st birthday party without having to stop to cook or clean. The staff was fantastic. From going above and beyond setting up and decorating to how respectful and pleasant to work with they were. We absolutely loved them and would request them again in the future. It was so nice of Monica to tell us about the coolers and ice we could use also. It really came in handy and worked out so much better than having several small coolers. Everyone at the party raved about how delicious the food was. Everything was prepared perfectly and at the right temperature. We are very happy with what we picked (and we could eat 1,000 more of those mini crab cakes and bruschetta!). Thank you so much for helping us create a perfect 1st birthday for our princess. We couldn’t have done it without you guys and we will keep you in mind for future events.

Kristin Fedro

Caitlin and the entire crew at creative was absolutely amazing. Getting married in the middle of a pandemic has not been easy. We were continuously making changes due to regulations and safety protocols, the last being 4 days before the event, and Caitlin was amazing the entire time and helping to make sure everything went smoothly and to perfection. I could not have asked for a better caterer for my wedding. And of course the food was amazing! Caitlin was even able to supple two of my guests with a vegan option!

Yavuz “Fuz” Inanli

Our venue provided a list of caterers for us to choose from; Creative Catering was the first on the list and we were instantly impressed. We requested a sample menu, and they surprised us by providing one that fit our travel theme perfectly (without us mentioning the theme — serendipity I suppose — we were particularly impressed by the chicken turnovers with the mango lassi dipping sauce). The food at our taste testing was absolutely phenomenal as well. We bought our own alcohol, but they provided a recommended guide for how much alcohol to provide, which worked out almost perfectly for us. There did seem to be some staff turnover throughout the process, which was a little bit concerning leading up to the event; however, Karen K. took over at the end and absolutely hit it out of the park, along with the chefs and staff support. They made our custom drink exactly how we wanted it, service was great, the buffet was laid out very nicely with tablecloth that matched our colors perfectly, and most importantly of course, the food was phenomenal! Thank you Karen & Creative Catering for amazing service & absolutely delicious food for our special day!

I just got married on June 8, 2018! We were thoroughly pleased with all of the heavy hors d'oeuvres that we chose for our reception. The staff was amazing, the food was delicious, the bar was incredible and they delivered a top notch product and service. Our guests raved about how delicious everything was. Karen Kidd was amazing to work with and I would highly recommend her and CCofVA to future brides and those looking for catering services.

Stephanie Harron

CCVA is amazing!!! The quality AND quantity of food was great. The staff and management is super friendly - AND supportive/understanding, especially during these crazy times of covid-19. All of our guests were pleased with our selections for the plated meal and appetizers (you can't go wrong with their filet mignon, salmon, or chicken saltimbocca). The event manager was also very responsive to our needs and any questions that came about. We highly recommend their services!

christa mcgee
