16 Best Caterers in Alexandria

“Old Blue catered my daughters wedding. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. Old Blue has the best BBQ food in the greater DC area - so, that would be enough to recommend them - however, if you are planning an event, you will not believe the quality of the service they offer. Everyone was helpful, had great suggestions, they even shared decorations with us. The day of the wedding was also perfect - they were attentive and seemed to anticipate every need. Again, they would be worth it just for the food, but they perfect because of everything else.“

“Grilled salmon with broccoli and lentils was great! Not surprising. As your brand your food is always to my taste. Keep the excellent service and food. Thank you.“

“We hired Tasteful Affairs Catering for our October 2025 wedding, and we are so glad that we did!! Emilie was our primary contact and she was a dream to work with!! She is SO communicative (both email and phone), listens to your ideas and vision and also has super helpful suggestions. An earlier review called her a quasi wedding planner, and this is so true! Emilie helped us make so many decisions from the menu, the linens/table setting, to have a tent or not, etc. Because she is so familiar with our venue, her insights and experience were invaluable. Both my spouse and I can be worriers, and she handled our anxiety with such ease and care, and she was so clearly on top of everything, that our anxiety was very quickly eased. Emilie is so personable and clearly cares about the work she does and people she works with. The food was SO good at our first tasting and they were open to our feedback on making small changes. They helped us curate a menu we loved and the food on our wedding day was superb! One guest said it was the best meal they had had in years! The Tasteful Affairs Catering staff the day of our wedding were great from the chefs, to the servers, to the bartenders. They made the space look beautiful and everything ran so smoothly. Stop your search now and hire Tasteful Affairs Catering! Truly the best decision we made!!“

“I recommend everything regarding Rx Catering. The staff, service and food are always outstanding, and they go above and beyond to make sure you have a great catering experience. Rx Catering catered my daughters wedding on September 9 and did a stellar job. They even went out of their way to recreate a traditional dish my Son-in-law wanted that's popular in his country. I would highly recommend Rx Catering to anyone in need of a great catering company.“

“Recently used Bittersweet Catering and they were amazing. The food was excellent, they were able to handle last minute add ons and delivery was a piece of cake. I will be using them again and would totally recommend them. Thanks Karla“

“Dining at shababi was an absolute delight. I came to celebrate after I finished taking my board exams and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. To start they brought some hummus topped with shredded beef and beat spread, which the former was my favorite. They later brought the roasted chicken which had been marinated for 48 hours plus. Every bite was so flavorful. As this is a pop up I recommend you go soon and get a feel for Palestinian food“

“I have had the pleasure of using Avalon to cater and also host my public events, holiday staff parties, and client appreciation events, over the course of 20 years. And I can assure you, that each and every time, they have far exceeded any of my expectations! But most importantly, those whom have been in attendance at our events catered by Avalon, have also been blown away by the high quality and most delicious food and desert offerings! And in addition to that, the attention to every detail and the full service experience offered by Avalon, is second to none! Therefore, I can’t thank Avalon enough for always providing us with world class cuisines and deserts! And the same goes to their tremendous staff, for working tirelessly to ensure every catered event I have hosted, has brought rave reviews and complements by all whom have attended. I am so thankful to everyone at Avalon Caterers and I deeply appreciate you all for always exceeding every expectation, while also working with me, so to make it work into my allocated budget. I couldn’t be happier or ask for anything more! I look forward to hosting my next event, as does everyone whom will be attending, and all thanks to everyone at Avalon Caterers! 🙏🏼“

“Chunky Monkey, always so yummy 👍👍“

“The Peruvian Brothers catered our wedding. We cannot recommend them highly enough! From the moment we started working with them, they were professional, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful. On our wedding day, everything they served was absolutely delicious, our guests are still raving about the food! The flavors, presentation, and attention to detail were all outstanding.

What truly stood out, beyond the amazing food, was the warmth and friendliness of their staff. Every interaction was full of kindness and care, and it made such a difference in creating a welcoming and celebratory atmosphere. They helped make the day feel effortless, joyful, and delicious in every way!“

“Excellent food and beyond excellent prices🌟“

“I’m from Texas and happened to be working just down the road from this spot. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with provolone, and it was a home run—flavorful, peppery, and perfectly cheesy, as you can see. The meat was tender and juicy, and the fries were packed with flavor too. A solid 10/10. I’ll definitely be back… maybe even tomorrow. 👍🏽“

“come on out, best dive bar ever!“

“A wonderful place off the beaten path to enjoy a great dinner, nice bottle of wine and wonderful service! The appetizers, entrees and desserts are all excellent. They make you feel at home and you will not go away hungry. Nice atmosphere for enjoying friends and family or a place to just chill!“

“Church of The Messiah had it’s Holiday Brunch on yesterday and everything was absolutely wonderful. The welcoming environment, the food and all of the fixings. I love going to an establishment and I’m eating on wonderful china,flatware,and glassware. The owner/operator showed love and attention to every detail. I will return.“
