Sean's crew catered my daughter's wedding yesterday, and everything was amazing! I usually try to…read morebe as "real" as I can in these reviews, but I cannot find one negative thing to say. They were there on time, dressed professionally, and had the food ready to serve when it was supposed to be. I spent some time in the kitchen, and watched as the prepped, and everything was clean and sanitary. Sean did pull a menu item that he said couldn't be properly prepared in the kitchen facility we had available. There was still more than enough food, so none of the guests ever knew. I really appreciated his honesty in doing that-now people walked away saying how amazing the food was, and not talking about that "one thing that didn't work". For me, that makes this a positive, not a negative. Big props also go to his staff-we had an ice cream sundae bar as well, and the person who was hired to serve didn't make it. His folks stepped up and made sure that part went off without a hitch. I would trust this man and his staff to cater any event I had. Oh, and if you're in Lawrenceville, they do a lunch delivery thing that's great!

Hands down, the service was great and the food was excellent! I can honestly say, they delivered quality with my budget of $1,200. The price was reasonable and we got a lot of food. I will be using Scrumptious for my future non profit events. Scrumptious, thank you for making my daughter's birthday party extra special! I recommend Scrumptious Catering!

THE FOOD was just wonderful. It was fresh, hot and abundant. THE STAFF was delightful...ready to help with absolutely everything we needed. CHEF DAVID was the icing on the cake. He was full of personality and moved table to table interacting with those in attendance. He truly spread Christmas joy. We have never had an experience like this (and we do at least 2-3 events a year). This was his 5th event for the day and they all seemed fresh and happy to be there. He has 5 stars on all his reviews for a reason. I highly recommend and will be using him again.

Chef David Catering - the food and the staff - is OUTSTANDING! I'm writing a five-star review…read morelong-distance from Washington, DC, as Chef David and his assistant Lisa went above and beyond to make Mother's Day special for an extended family of 12. One week before Mother's Day, the beloved mother of my best friend died very unexpectedly at home in the Atlanta region. With Mother's Day on the horizon, the only way that my friends and I here in DC felt that we could bring some joy to the family while celebrating their mother was through food... and we decided to cater a meal for everyone on Mother's Day. I did some research, and picked up the phone and called Chef David Catering. A lovely woman named Lisa answered the phone. I took that as a good sign, as my name is Lisa as well. I explained the situation, and asked if they would be able to provide a meal for 12? She said that the typical minimum party order was 25 people, but that Chef David would make an exception based on this particular circumstance. I also was very well aware of how hard it is to source certain ingredients during this COVID-19 pandemic, so I told Lisa that I didn't even have a menu in mind, but could she please speak with Chef David to see what he'd be willing and able to prepare? The next day, Lisa sent me a menu of: - Pan Seared Chicken with Gravy - Baked Salmon in Lemon Dill Sauce - Mixed Vegetables - Wild Rice with Cranberries and Almonds - Mixed Green Salad served with Ranch and Vinaigrette Dressings - Rolls and Butter - Strawberry Shortcake The menu sounded amazing, and I approved it immediately. This afternoon (Mother's Day), Lisa called me to say that Chef David was already on his way to the family's house, and gave me details about the beautiful Strawberry Shortcake cake to share with the family. Chef David arrived at the exact time he promised, and told the family that he'd even made an extra pan of mashed potatoes for everyone to enjoy. A couple of hours later, I heard from my friend, expressing her sincere thanks for the DELICIOUS MEAL, that was above and beyond what her family had expected. It was enjoyed by everyone. Particular favorites were the Baked Salmon and the Wild Rice. There were still plenty of leftovers for them to enjoy over the coming days... but that the lovely cake was devoured by all! THANK YOU Chef David and Lisa for bringing joy back to this family through your delicious food! It was truly appreciated! :)

I had the most magical experience with BeauTEAful Teapot for their Harry Potter themed tea party!…read moreFrom start to finish, everything was beautifully done and so well thought out. First, I love that this is a Black women, family-owned business. The owners were so welcoming and intentional with every detail, and you can truly feel the care they put into the experience. The setup was stunning -- from the teacups and decor to all the Harry Potter elements like the Golden Snitch, themed desserts, and even little interactive touches that made it feel fun and immersive. The pastries were fresh and delicious, and the finger foods (especially the chicken salad and roast beef) were really good. Now let's talk about the tea... AMAZING. They had a variety of teas, let us sample different blends, and everything was smooth and flavorful. My personal favorite was the Bourbon Street Vanilla -- definitely a must try! What I really loved was how interactive everything was. Being able to smell the teas, try samples, and just enjoy the full experience made it feel special and not rushed. They even included a thoughtful gift with tea samples, which was such a nice touch. One of the best parts is that they are a mobile tea party business, so they can bring this entire experience to you and customize it to ANY theme you want -- not just Harry Potter. Perfect for girls' nights, events, or something different to do with friends. If you're looking for something unique, creative, and memorable, I definitely recommend booking with them. I'll absolutely be back!

The owner knew about this mechanical the night before but called me 3 hours before my guests needed to be picked up from the hotel. This situation placed me in a bad position as I had guests that were expecting the party bus experience. I reserved this party bus for my boyfriend's birthday. I was devastated and had to call around to other bus companies for same day service. Thank GOD I was able to find another bus company that was able to pick up the guests as we had reservations for each spot that the bus was taking us to. I had to pay double than what I paid for this company due to the last minute booking and the bus wasn't as nice as this bus company. However, the other bus company got the job done. My advice to Zedric is to inform the customer of any issues a day before so that the proper adjustments can be made. Zedric did refund my money...THANK YOU!
