It has great flavor. And their chicken salad is great too. Nice large chunks of chicken, and again, well-seasoned. I would definitely be interested in trying some of their other items!

I knew they would do an amazing job, but they exceeded my expectations and knocked it out of the park. Brian and his team carefully curated our menu based off our requests. Everything from the passed hors d'oeuvres, the stationary antipasto display and homemade crab dip, to our beautiful salads, and our main course including beef tenderloin and crab cakes, it was all DELICIOUS! Our guests have been telling us since that they had the best crab cakes ever at our wedding and it was the best wedding food. Our food was hot, fresh, and beautifully displayed. Brian and his team are extremely professional, efficient, and attentive. I can't say enough good things of the Events Catering Team! I would recommend them to anyone for any type of wedding or event. I've also used Events Catering Company for a work luncheon that included pit beef, turkey, and a variety of homemade sides including potato salad, mac and cheese, and salad. His pricing is extremely reasonable given the quality of food and service they provide. I wish I had more photos to share, but I was too busy eating all of their amazing food... Thank you for everything, Events Catering Company!!

We were extremely pleased with Brian and his catering service from Day 1, all the way to the end of…read moreour wedding reception. When we met Brian to discuss the possibility of using his catering service, it was readily apparent that this wasn't his first rodeo and he did not hesitate to share insight gained from his many years of being in the business. Importantly, he approached our first meeting as a consultation rather than a sales pitch. Confident in the product he offered, he walked us through the various options that were available, constantly reiterating that there was always the choice of choosing from off the book if we had something else in mind. I suspect this occurs with most couples planning their wedding, but as the discussion progressed, Brian laid out the long list of different considerations that go into hosting a successful event and we watched as our hypothetical budget grabbed its hat and started walking out the door. Thankfully, Brian was able to point out what items are critical and which ones are just nice to have. This let us move forward with confidence that we would have what we needed on the day of our wedding and to pick and choose the things we personally viewed as important from that "nice to have" list. He was ready and willing to work with the budget we had in mind, which went a long way in setting us at ease even as we were engaging numerous other vendors and getting ready to put our checkbook through an Olympic-caliber training regimen. Before we signed on the dotted line, we were given an opportunity to visit Brian at his kitchen to review a combination of dishes that he recommended along with a couple that we requested. He prepared enough of each dish to give us a very good sense of what we could expect on the day of the event. During our first meeting, Brian assured us that the food he made was top notch and, when we left the kitchen that day, we were not disappointed. Once the contract was signed and the menu was agreed upon in principle, Brian remained responsive and was proactive about engaging our other vendors to ensure that they were operating on a coordinated front on the day of the wedding. We were fortunate enough to work with a number of great vendors but Brian stood out for his willingness to take the lead and ensure that the points in which his service was handing off to another vendor were seamless. When you are planning a wedding from scratch with a multitude of moving pieces, this is an invaluable attribute to have in your caterer. On the big day, Events Catering provided a plated spring mix salad, passed appetizers of bacon-wrapped scallops, crab balls, caprese shooters*, and a table of veggies and cheeses just to get things started. Dinner was a buffet affair with pit beef, pulled pork, turkey, potato salad, and mixed veggies. Everything was a hit! While Brian was our main point of contact and great to work with, we would be remiss if we didn't also applaud his staff that worked the event that day. They were incredibly accommodating and very pleasant as they went about serving our guests. Even with small things like holding the doors open while the wedding party was being introduced, it was clear that they were there to help make the day successful rather than just do their job and go home. For the prospective brides- and grooms-to- be reading this, you can be confident that while your guests are being well tended, you, too, will be receiving the royal treatment. One of the greatest concerns and regrets you hear from couples is that they never got to eat the food and drinks that they just spent months meticulously arranging. Thanks to the catering staff, that was not an issue for us. A dedicated staff member ensured that we had appetizers set aside for us and the wedding party and that we always had a drink in hand if we wanted it (For your HIMYM stalwarts, think Linus and the Kennedy package). Regardless of the event you're planning, Events Catering has our unreserved endorsement. If you are simply having a backyard party, you can expect the food to be spot-on and Brian to be pleasant to work with. If you are having a full-blown wedding bonanza with multiple vendors and countless moving pieces, you can expect the above along with a caterer committed to making the event a success, from the first days of planning right up to the last dance. *Caprese Shooters - Brought to you by the tried-and-and true caprese on a toothpick, the caprese shooter brings some new flare to a classic oldie. Skewered on a pipette filled with balsamic vinegar, the mozz and tomato slide into your mouth just as you squirt the balsamic into the mix for a coalescence of flavor unrivaled by more conventional methods of ingestion.

Top Tier wedding & events caterer a family fun day in Joppa, Maryland…read more They did a FANTASTIC job. Every Top Tier employee was extremly warm, personable and professional. There was a large variety of dishes to choose from- all were delicious. Maybe the best fried (and smoked) chicken I have ever tasted! They kept everything clean, and it was thoughtful to grill and cook the food a couple hundred yards away from where we were celebrating so no smoke disturbed our experience. I HIGHLY recommend top tier wedding & events for your next celebration.

I'm so incredibly happy that we chose Top Tier Wedding and Events for our wedding! Oni made it her mission to bring our vision to life, and she executed it perfectly. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out on our wedding day. We hired Oni for day-of coordination and decor services, but her support truly extended for months leading up to the wedding. She met with us regularly to ensure we were staying on track and hitting all of our planning milestones. She communicated with every one of our vendors, coordinated with the venue manager, and made sure everyone followed the timeline she created for the day. There is absolutely no way our wedding would have run as smoothly as it did without her. Oni is incredibly kind, responsive, and organized. She handled every change we threw her way with professionalism and flexibility. Whether it was our fluctuating guest count, adjusting the timeline because of rain, changing the floor plan, or modifying elements of the event design, she made every necessary adjustment without missing a beat. She even tracked down our officiant the day after our wedding to make sure our marriage license was completed correctly (something she absolutely didn't have to do)! That level of dedication speaks volumes about how much she genuinely cares about her couples. Oni and her team made the entire wedding planning process feel smooth, organized, and stress-free. Whether you're looking for day-of coordination, decor services, or full wedding planning, I cannot recommend Top Tier Wedding and Events enough.

Prior to our wedding we worked with Adrienne who was a pleasure. She was very helpful and accessible. Quick to respond to our questions/emails and was very kind during our tasting. Adrienne gets a 5/5 for everything. Unfortunately we were assigned to a representative named Jacob for the evening and not Adrienne. Hoffman's arrived on time which is good. Had we not noticed them setting up, we would have not known they were there. Nobody greeted us or let us know they were on site. First impression of Hoffman was during Yichud. The food was was supposed to be hot wasn't. The sushi was very good. No wasabi. There also were no utensils/napkins. The empanadas and spring rolls were greasy so a napkin would have been useful. Glad there was a bathroom next door. You could also tell these hors d'oeuvres came straight out of a box, frozen, probably from Sysco. Did not get a house made vibe at all with the hors d'oeuvres. Next came our cocktail hour where the majority of our guests did seem to be enjoying the hors d'oeuvres. Maybe because they were fresher (perhaps they sat for a while in Yichud before we got to them?). Or maybe being a chef myself, I can be over critical sometimes. That being said, I know what to expect and when you spend as much as Hoffman charges, you expect a certain level of prestige. We did not get that. Moving forward. The bar service was good. The drinks seemed to be mixed well but I cannot stress this enough. YOUR BARTENDERS NEED TO SMILE. All evening long, not one bartender looked as if they were happy serving our party. They looked annoyed, unfriendly, and shot me (the groom) a dirty look when I asked for our signature drink x3 for myself and 2 guests I was standing there talking to. Unacceptable. First course. Soup and salad. The salad was...fine. Nothing really special. The soup (flavorful yes) was barely warm. And the tortilla strips that garnished the top were halfway sunken and soggy. EVERY guest I spoke to in hindsight said theirs we're ICE COLD. Soup should be served "just under boiling". Unacceptable. Dinner didn't win us over either. We were talked into a buffet style service as opposed to a plated dinner. I regret our decision to do so. The buffet food evidently was not hot, the line took forever. And we were told that the caterer manager did not want to work with any other vendor to ensure a smooth dinner service. Tables were not called by the DJ because of this and it was a giant chaotic rush to the buffet table. By having a buffet over a plated dinner, it felt less classy. This was something the caterer pushed very hard for as if a plated dinner was an impossibility. We felt forced into a buffet and it's our biggest regret. The chicken was terrible. Covered in a soggy breading that wasn't supposed to be there. The veggies were fine, the rice was fine. The pastrami was FIRE!!!! 10/10. Great job on the pastrami. That was very tasty. At the end of the day it comes down to more than just really good pastrami and Adrienne's amazing attention. But Jacob, our manager on site the day of. Not at all. We were told by our wedding coordinator he refused to work with anybody. Smug, unfriendly, and pompous, he didn't seem to give a damn. He did ask us halfway during our evening how things were. I'm not gonna complain in the moment at my own wedding. I was also rather drunk and merry. So yeah I played it off and thanked him and Hoffman in general. This was also before hearing what many of our guests had to say about the food in retrospect. A very poor representation of what we thought would be an A+ experience. Lastly, Hoffman's staff threw out my wife's flower bouquet at the end of the evening while cleaning up. These were meant to stay on the table overnight until we pick them up the following morning. When asked about this Jacob responded with "why don't you just buy a new bouquet". Jacob can kiss my ass and Hoffman won't be hearing from us again. Thanks

If you have your wedding here use Susan as your day of coordinator. You will not regret it. Her attention to detail and ability to manage tons of people is impeccable. We did not use a wedding planner because Susan answered any question I might've had about wedding planning starting from a year leading up to the wedding. After looking through about 20 venues in the dmv area this was the most inclusive, unique and affordable option I was able to find. We are so happy we had our wedding here.

We were looking for a company with flexibility, delicious food, customer service, hospitality, and affordability. Innovative Gourmet Catering was it!! From the moment I spoke with Kim, I felt like they were incredibly willing to be flexible in order to meet our needs. I am Dominican and my wife is Midwestern, and they were able to deliver a menu that was delicious, diverse, and just what we were looking for. Seriously, the first thing that everyone we spoke to post wedding said was how delicious the food was!! Folks felt cared for, and like there were many options. The owner Maria was personally our coordinator on the wedding day, and she was amazing. You can tell she is someone who has years of experience under her belt. They made sure my wife and I left the reception with packed food to take home. The food was just as amazing the next day!! Seriously I cannot emphasize what a serious value Innovative Gourmet is.

Maria, the owner, is extremely experienced and professional, and takes her time to personally design a menu to the exact needs necessary. The planning was very smooth and easy--all I had to do was give a general idea of what I wanted to serve, and I was given a ton of great ideas for dishes. I knew some specific dishes I wanted to have and Innovative Gourmet was exactly on point with all of those needs I requested as well. The actual event was FANTASTIC. All that guests remember from any event (in my opinion) is the food, beverages, and music, and the food and beverages were perfectly served and tasted as amazing as if it was cooked for one person (and the party was for 400 people!) I'm also gluten free, and Maria had some great suggestions to make sure that need was accommodated. I would HIGHLY recommend Innovative Gourmet, and I've decided to host a Holiday Party now that I know how easy Innovative Gourmet makes the process for me!
