I booked Mosaic Catering for my wedding after tasting their food at the Richmond Wedding Expo, and judging by the many compliments from all of our guests, we clearly made the right decision! John Lilley worked with us from beginning to end to create a menu for dinner, choose cocktail hour appetizers, answer my many questions, and ensure we had everything we needed for an amazing party. Mosaic's prices were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and service, and they made sure everyone had more than enough to eat. The servers were amazing, and I was very glad I had added the wine table service, as it made drinks during dinner very easy for everyone. Their bartenders helped keep the vibes high and Mosaic kindly accommodated my groom's request for a specific beer. John even brought the wedding party food from the cocktail hour as he knew we would be taking photos and miss out otherwise - just another example of the amazing service from this team. Overall, I cannot recommend Mosaic Catering enough, if you're looking for delicious food and great service, this is the caterer for you! read more

I recently attended a wedding where Mosaic provided the catering and service. I had heard such great things and LOVE Mosaic restaurant, so I was really looking forward to their food. And the food that I tried was delicious! Unfortunately the service was terrible. I hope the couple and family didn't notice or maybe they were treated differently than the average guests, but as a former wedding industry professional I was really shocked. These were the things that I noticed: -Cocktail hour food was 2 hours late. As is traditional for Jewish weddings, the cocktail hour took place from 3:00-4:00 before the ceremony so guests can mingle and certain religious rites can be performed. There was an open bar but I didn't see any food, so I asked the bartender if something would be served. She told me food would arrive at 3:30. Something must have happened because 4pm came and went, cocktail hour ended, and the ceremony began without food arriving. A handful of servers finally arrived with trays after 5pm when the dinner was about to be served. Unfortunately I didn't get to try anything because they ran out when I made my way to that side of the room. -Unprepared and downright rude staff. I have never seen so much huffing and eye rolling when serving food or making drinks. A guest at my table had severe food allergies that were passed along in advance, but none of the catering staff could tell her what was in the dishes or if anything was safe for her to eat. Instead she was given an attitude, made to feel like she was at fault for asking questions, and was told it wasn't their problem. Eventually a very nice man did come over and apologize and give her the information she needed, but almost all the safe items were gone from the buffet. She ate rice and bread as her meal. -Not enough food for everyone even though twenty people were no-shows to the wedding due to weather and illness. My table was the last to be called to the buffet and several dishes were gone despite the entrees being portioned and served by the caterers. -Inattentive and clumsy set up and service. Only some tables received water, others did not. I had to use the water fountain. Staff was supposed to be fully masked at all times and several weren't even when in close contact with guests. Servers took away full drinks and moved chairs and belongings in the dining area after guests had already found their spots at their designated tables. I set down my things to watch the first dances and my fresh drink was gone, my purse was moved, and I saw servers taking chairs away from my table and reorganizing the seating. One of the servers also somehow set fire to the buffet table, but thankfully that was quickly put out. Maybe this was an off day or key staff members weren't there to keep things running smoothly, but overall it was really disappointing. I wouldn't confidently be able to book them for my own events. read more

Everyone says that Mosaic is the best caterer in Richmond, and they are right!! We had such an easy experience and LOVED working with Timothy. He was so FUN and listed to everything we said. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we wanted for our big day. The food was incredible and our guests raved about it. The presentation was beautiful and their event staff was awesome. Literally no complaints. read more

On Sunday October 6th, I flew out from the West Coast to attend an outdoor wedding at The Historic Jasmine in Providence Forge, Virginia. The venue is charming and the weather couldn't have been more perfect on this Fall day. I've been in the event industry for over 30 years. As owner of both a catering and event production company, I was looking forward to attending as a guest at this celebration. Sadly, the catering was somewhat disappointing. During the reception, there were long lines at the bar that could have been alleviated by a couple of staff passing wine or champagne. I'm not sure if that was arranged ahead of time but I always recommend that to my clients in the planning process. I thought the appetizers were good. The dinner buffet was underwhelming. The meat was well prepared but I never saw a vegetarian entrée which was on the original menu. The potatoes were almost gone and the vegetables were low. There were other people who hadn't eaten so I took very little food and left hungry. I was happy to have snacks back at my hotel room. I never saw an attendant to make sure food was replenished as needed. No matter how good the food is, guests(and clients) always remember if it runs out, especially at a wedding! There was little thought put into the presentation of the buffet. The table looked bare with only the few generic chafing dishes. It looked more like a set-up for the service staff. A few props, flowers or textiles can easily be built into even a simple budget. The service staff at our table was attentive. The bartenders were helpful to me, although not very excited to be there.

We had MOSAIC catering and bartending for an intimate award event. The staff was there before I was! It was great to see them unpacking and getting everything ready while I was setting up for the event. They were extremely friendly. Cassie was a delight to work with. She always checked in to make sure everything was going well with the event. This was the first time I had done an event like this and she was able to help me make split second decisions, like closing the bar during the presentation or removing the food before everyone was seated. It was nice to know that I had some flexibility with the event as it went on. The food was beautifully presented and had a lot of variety. The bar was well stocked and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The pre-event details were well planned out. Ryan was able to work with our budget to ensure that we would have enough food. It was a breeze to get everything organized. Cassie also met with me the day before the event and asked questions about how the night would go. It was very beneficial for me to hear her questions and to be able to reflect on how the evening would go! read more

Phenomenal catering group! We hired MOSAIC to provide the food for our wedding, two bartenders to serve drinks, and additional help with the setup and cleanup of the event space. The food we tried at our tasting was excellent and was just as good at our wedding (my piece of salmon was a little bit dry but every other guest (including my wife) that I asked said the salmon was perfect, so I think I got unlucky). We had the lemon rosemary chicken, sesame ginger roasted salmon, smoked gouda pimento mac and cheese, broccolini, and a dish that we requested for our vegan guest which was a Moroccan spiced chickpea cake. The MOSAIC staff helped to make our wedding venue beautiful and were extremely attentive and professional throughout the night. They were happy to serve the cocktail hour food and beverages that we bought and, when we were on the cusp of running out of drinks, they immediately consulted me and sent a staff member to the nearest grocery store to purchase more. Subsequently, no guests were even aware that we had that minor issue. The wedding venue was a bit untidy at the end of the night, but, when I returned in the morning, it was spotless and all trash had been removed. Overall, I would highly recommend MOSAIC for your catering and event needs, and they helped to make our wedding a special day. read more

Fried green tomatoes I have not had these in 40 years. It was delightful and the service was pretty good. The breakfast burrito was made with extra care and the veggies were perfectly cooked. We will be back read more

I don't know where to begin. Waitstaff was phenomenal, food amazing, friendly, helpful; I could go on and on. They handled gluten allergies, dairy allergies with ease. They made every one of our 120 guests feel like each one was the most important person in the room. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

I want to take a moment to thank Mosaic Catering for making Sam and Mikes wedding such a memorable event.  I heard nothing but compliments from our guest about how delicious the food was and how seamless the serving was. Mosaic was nothing less than stellar.  The professionalism and courteousness of their staff was beyond expectation.  I was also very impressed with their attention to detail.  The serving of dinner for bride and groom while they were having pictures taken was so thoughtful, as was the packed cooler with additional food and champagne to take with them to the hotel. Mosaic worked so closely with Classic Party Rental it made the entire planning process almost stress free! Please know that I would recommend Mosaic to anyone and should the need arise, I would not hesitate to hire them services again. read more

My wife and I recently contracted MOSAIC for our intimate wedding.

Marie, our contact, was very responsive and helpful. Hire them for your events! read more

Mosaic was absolutely great to work with! They did so much more than we ever expected a caterer to do. They took all of our needs and went above and beyond by creating reserved signs for certain tables, setting up centerpieces, and creating a cocktail hour for the bridal and groom's party while we were taking pictures. All communication leading up to the event was prompt and professional. Definitely recommend! read more

Went to a business event this past week that Mosaic catered and the food was outstanding! When husband doesn't even know he's eating squash casserole and loves it that's a huge plus. Everything I had to eat was well displayed and cooked perfectly and was delicious. They had steak on a stick, pork tenderloin with a wonderful chutney, pimento cheese spread, squash casserole, etc. it was outstanding. read more
