15 Best Caterers in Charlottesville

“Seriously everything on the menu here is absolutely incredible. And it’s always quick getting out to you. If you don’t come here you’re doing yourself a disservice.“

“You absolutely need to book The Catering Outfit—plain and simple! They were one of the very first vendors we chose because food was a top priority for our wedding, and they exceeded every expectation. From day one, they built a menu around our favorite bites and made the whole process seamless—from tasting to the final walkthrough to the wedding day itself. The chef even let me make small adjustments after the tasting to ensure everything was just right. I don’t think the word no is in their vocabulary, which makes your day feel so personal and completely custom. Their team was outstanding—not only large enough that no guest was ever left waiting for a drink, but also dressed so beautifully that it added a real wow factor to the celebration. The head table was served in such perfectly synchronized fashion that our guests called it classic and flawless. On top of that, they made sure my husband and I were constantly taken care of, always with a drink in hand and food nearby. Our guests are still raving that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! From the ceviche bar to the espresso shots, every detail was thoughtful, elegant, and executed to perfection. We truly couldn’t have asked for more“

“We held my sons rehearsal dinner here last night and it was great!! Everyone raved about the food and the service was top notch. Claudia was amazing as she kept everything moving and she took such good care of us. I can’t wait to go back for dinner one night.“

“Utilizing BRPC for our rehearsal dinner proved to be a great hit with our bridal party and families! The gluten-free accommodations elevated the event, and we appreciate their sensitivity to our guests. Their spread was delicious and had so many options to choose from! Whether you are gluten-free or enjoy all the gluten in the world, BRPC will exceed your expectations and leave you craving more!!!“

“Mark and his team were terrific for the event we held at the Colonnade Club this weekend. With delicious food, a fantastic and courteous team, and awesome weather judgement, Harvest Moon was on point across the board. Highly recommend for indoor and outdoor catering.“

“Awesome“

“Thank you so much for our lunch today at the covid vaccine clinic at Kmart. I had not had this meal before but what a surprise. Jerk chicken was wonderful. Thank you for your generosity and for such a wonderful lunch! Your community spirit is refreshing.“

“We had an amazing experience with Red Hub Catering. They provided our cocktail hour food, reception buffet, cutting cake, bartending service, and Sunday brunch. The food and service were impeccable. For bartending service, Red Hub provided the bar set up and mixers, but allowed us to provide our own alcohol which is uncommon among catering vendors. Red Hub generated a custom menu for our reception that consisted of a nacho bar for cocktail hour followed by a taco buffet for dinner. They also baked a beautiful cutting cake and delivered brunch to the lodge we were at the following morning for everyone to enjoy. Overall an incredible vendor who expertly provided us multiple wedding services.“

“I can't say enough good things about Flavor Exceptional! We've been ordering their meals for pickup since March. The meals are reasonably priced, easy to serve, and DELICIOUS! I've cancelled my other meal kit subscriptions as I would much rather support a local Charlottesville business. I highly recommend giving them a try!“

“Baaaby when I tell you the food is soooo good! I didn’t eat today because I wanted to treat myself and eat the steak egg rolls tonite 🫶🏽 Shimaya thank you for EXCELLENT customer service and food ❤️ The Chicken egg rolls were just as good as the steak. Omgoodness the portions are perfect for the price! Couldn’t even finish our meals. If you’re ever in Charlottesville late night and want the BEST that CVILLE has to offer check out Michelle’s Soul Food directly across from the library downtown they open from 10pm to 3am Thursday - Saturday 👨🏽‍🍳“

“The team was SO kind, friendly, and terrific when I visited! I was able to sample a couple flavors. When I was looking at their lactose-free menu, they let me try and order their brand new strawberry flavor (not even on the menu yet) - absolutely DELICIOUS. They will also be down at the Pav (on-Grounds) so I'm very excited to go to both locations.“

“I was in charge of bring crabs to our family reunion. I picked Anderson’s hoping they would be good for my family. They were great. Ted even called me while on his vacation to let me know he had gotten my order. I highly recommend them!“

“We loved working with Ashley and Carter. They were so flexible with us and helpful with our budget. We had 220 people at our wedding so it was a big one! We really appreciated their kindness and professionalism and the food was delicious! We would absolutely go with them again.“

“We ordered a melange of items from the pre-order menu and each was fantastic it its own way. Flavorful, fresh, seasonal, and clearly made with care. I highly recommend APimento!“

“Sandy catered a memorial service for approximately 44 people on April 2, 2022. Sandy suggested a delicious menu. The food was outstanding, the staff was so professional and I received many compliments and inquiries about the catering service. I have used her catering service for luncheons and the food was always a hit.“
