I cannot count the number of wedding guests who commented on the caliber of our food and service…read more If you are getting married in Lexington, I would not look any further than CHEFS Catering. (I can say this after pricing and comparing with many others even outside the Lexington area.) I will be recommending them to friends getting married all over Central Virginia including the Roanoke area. We did a tasting and loved everything we tried. We almost did not do a tasting at all due to not living in the area anymore and also because I had heard such glowing reviews from others that seriously everything is great. John, the owner, worked us in very last minute and I'm glad that he did because the tasting experience was a great chance to get to know him further. We were an unfortunate COVID wedding who postponed our May wedding to September and John could not have been easier to work with. If someone is easy to work with when almost everything is going wrong and you have essentially no idea of guest count, then I am positive he is outstanding for the general wedding. We did passed appetizers which were all a hit. Then some of our dinner is shown in my photos. The photos of our dinner look like I grabbed stock catering photos from google. We had the flank steak with gorgonzola butter and the grilled chicken bruschetta, where many guests cannot decide the favorite. The herbed garlic mashed potatoes still have guests talking. We did a buffet style dinner and the serving staff were beyond knowledgeable, professional, and fast at getting people through the line. We also hired them for bartending our open bar and the guests loved the bartenders. All around, I am still getting comments about how we had the "best wedding food' people had ever had and that the staff was so professional that it felt like no one was ever waiting for anything. As an added bonus, the staff was extra attentive to us during the wedding and were almost always bringing us drinks and food as they know that we would otherwise not have time to do so. Top notch crew! Another note is that one of the main reasons for why we chose CHEFS was the pricing. We spoke with so many caterers who would charge $1/plate to cut a cake (that we had already bought) or $1/glass to pour champagne. CHEFS including those kinds of services in addition to offering extremely reasonable pricing on the food that they do prepare. We purchased our own alcohol in bulk and then hired them for bartending, but almost changed our minds last minutes as even their alcohol packages far exceed other venders.

CHEFS (John and Doug) catered our wedding in August 2012. We were lucky enough to have them do our…read morerehearsal dinner, wedding food and Sunday brunch and all three were BEYOND what someone should be allowed to experience in the same weekend. From a down-home cookout with pulled pork, nacho mac n' cheese and strawberry shortcake for the rehearsal dinner to an all-out food love fest on our wedding day (which included chef-attended Sautéed Southern Comfort Shrimp and grits and Beef Tenderloin stations and a salad/veggie station) to a quiet Sunday brunch complete with french-toast with VANILLA ICE CREAM in the toast batter, we would not have been happier. John and Doug worked with us and our budget to create a weekend that our guests still rave about (sometimes I worry that they've forgotten about the wedding and think they went to a culinary expo instead). They also provided bartenders and help choosing signature drinks and set-up one of their "Last-Call" stations for grilled cheese and fluffernutter sandwiches for when all of our guests needed some bread to soak up those "signature drinks" of ours. Don't hesitate to give them a call, and don't be daunted by prices, they are more than willing to substitute things to meet your needs. Will your guests be upset that you went with beef tenderloin instead of Prime Rib? Not that way that Doug and John cook, they won't. The experience that CHEFS give you is almost equal to their incredible food....almost :)

We checked out a few caterers for our wedding because good food was at the top of our wedding wants list. My husband and I knew we want to combine southern food with chinese food so that we could have a little bit of both of our upbringings featured. We told Harvest Moon our vision, and wow, did they deliver. Our menu consisted of two different types of salad, duck and pork belly buns, shrimp lo mein, mapo tofu, a carving station with beef tenderloin and chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and mixed vegetables. We also had a couple guests with allergies/restrictions, and Harvest Moon was super accommodating (one of our friends who is a vegetarian couldn't stop raving about the mushroom ravioli). It was all so good. We received so many compliments from our guests. The staff were also so amazing. Everyone was so professional, helpful, well trained, and friendly. It was awesome. The staff even packed up some food and dessert for us and cleaned up everything after the event. I would 100% choose Harvest Moon for catering any event.

I wanted a traditional avocado smoothie (my family is Vietnamese) and couldn't find a place that would do it. My venue recommended Jason and I couldn't be happier! He was quick to respond and prices were very fair. My cousin and I came down for a tasting weeks before the wedding and the care and time they put into everything were extremely touching. They took notes when we said it needed a bit more sweetness or avocado, milk, etc. I even mentioned a good number of family members were lactose intolerant and they prepared everything without dairy for us. The chai milk tea and Jasmine milk tea were amazing. The spices of the chai were perfect and rich and the jasmine tea was steeped to perfection. Oh, and the strawberry smoothie was so fresh! Real strawberries, not the powder. Then, last minute, we requested taro tea and they were able to do it too. And honestly, the taro tea was the biggest hit! I was hesitant about the boba prior to our tasting since they aren't advertised as a boba place, but they knocked it out of the park! The consistency of the boba and sweetness were both perfect. Honestly the most wonderful family and I am so thankful our vendor recommended them. If you want catered boba tea or smoothies in the Lexington or Buena Vista area, check them out!
