Harvest Moon Catering

Harvest Moon was fantastic! They provided some of the best wedding food we've ever had, our guests raved over the appetizers, and the bartenders kept our guests cups full the entire night. They also provided quick and effective service to allow guests to get to the dancefloor quickly!

We used Harvest Moon for our wedding and I can’t speak highly enough of Mark, Sami (who was also our day of coordinator) and the team! They worked within our budget, were flexible with the menu and made the overall experience so easy. From the get go of wedding planning, I told my partner that the food and drink was the most important aspect, that’s what guest will remember the most I said. Harvest Moon absolutely delivered— so many of our guest complimented the food and service and still talk about it months later. If you’re looking for spectacular food and great service, Harvest Moon is the choice!

Gus and Mark and their delivery crew are amazing!!!!

Where do I begin... I was referred to Harvest Moon by a friend in the culinary industry when I was planning my mother's Celebration of Life. From the moment of inquiry-- I was sold on this team. They were attentive, compassionate (during a time like this, I needed all the grace I could get!), and professional. They truly exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond for me and my family. I am in the wedding industry as well and I see a lot of caterers, but only a select few meet the standards that Harvest Moon delivers. They delivered a quick turnaround on a customized menu, with my mom's favorite desserts, curated a one of a kind bar menu, including my mom's favorite, mocktails! I could seriously go on and on...The entire team was high end, elevated, and delivered nothing but perfection. Hire them! Cameron and Anne, thank you for all that you did. It truly meant the world to me and my family, and I know my mama was proud! Hugs from Colorado!

Their service was incredible. The food was delicious. The presentation was impressive. Excellent for professional catering or private events. Will definitely choose them again.

Friendly hard working staff.

Good service

Harvest Moon Catering is amazing. We contacted them only 2 weeks before a small home based party (25 guests). They were quickly responsive, professional and very nice. They have GREAT food--all the guests commented on the quality, variety and wonderful tastes. They arrived on time, were very efficient in their set up-many small touches such as flowers and pretty garnishes were appreciated. Overall the presentation was beautiful. The lead server was smart, professional and kind. They kept the food flowing, cleared as needed and they cleaned up meticulously at the end of the evening.Great food, great service at a very reasonable price.We certainly will work with them down the road.They are an old C'ville business that has thrived--because they do it right, they understand quality and service.

Mark and his team at Harvest Moon did such a great job for our wedding this past October.The food was amazing.We had a rather large cocktail hour with a few food stations as well as canapes. Everything tasted delicious and was very similar to what we had at the initial tasting. Furthermore, if anything at the stations were running low, there was always someone there to take care of it.The signature cocktail was a big hit. Excellent taste and presentation. The bartenders in general did a really nice job the entire night.The dinners were delicious and well presented. We had a steak, Salmon, and a vegan eggplant option for our guests.I really like how Mark uses the sous vide method for the steak, then uses high heat at the venue for a nice crust while maintaining a nice medium - medium rare internal temperature.The salmon was great. Nice crust with a flaky interior and a bright citrus pop.We didn't taste the eggplant dish during our initial tasting, so we weren't sure what to expect. But like everything else, it was fantastic. I honestly think anything you try from HMC is going to be great.I do need to give the staff a lot of credit. They set everything up and broke everything down afterwards. These are two things that we were so happy we didn't have to think about. The service during the reception was spot on as well.Overall, I would recommend anyone getting married in the Cville area to go in for a tasting and see for yourself. You may find that there are cheaper caterers, but I really don't think you can beat the value that HMC provides.Mark and his team are professionals and were a pleasure to work with. Going with HMC was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Planning a menu for a backyard wedding in rural Virginia is no easy feat, but Harvest Moon certainly makes it look easy. The food is so incredible, and tasted just as delicious and fresh on our wedding day as it did during our tasting nearly a year earlier. We loved all of the optionality in creating our menu, and their ability to cater to certain dietary restrictions. We still crave some of our wedding day menu, that's how good the food is. In close partnership with their beverage director, we loved picking out local beers and wines that paired perfectly with our menu. We also engaged Harvest Moon for day-of coordination services, which was the biggest relief in our day. Kylie is a lifesaver, and her tip-top organization and wonderful spirit made our pre-planning and day-of a total breeze. We always knew she had our backs. Especially in coordinating vendors to a rural area, which can come with its own challenges, Kylie and the whole Harvest Moon team never lost sight of a single detail. With curveballs like rain and last-minute tent calls, Kylie and the whole Harvest Moon crew were utterly professional and unflappable. We would have been lost without them! Our wedding day remains one of the happiest in our lives, in large part due to Harvest Moon's professionalism, care, and excellent service. If I had to do our wedding all over again, I would pick Harvest Moon again and again!

Harvest Moon catered a lovely spread for us at our recent nonprofit event. The food and drinks were beautifully laid out and plentiful. More importantly, the staff were professional, helpful, knowledgeable, and all around wonderful to work with. Thank you Harvest Moon!

I recently partnered with Harvest Moon on a large group dinner event at a local vineyard and it was an exceptional experience from planning through execution. They are responsive, very nice to deal with and were very accommodating related to our budget and health & dietary restrictions. The food quantity and quality exceeded our high expectations. I look forward to partnering with them again!I am a real person and there was no incentive tied to this honest review.

They got many parts of our wedding catering wrong including all the special meals, our cheese board was missing most of the components, and they got us different desserts than we had asked for, among other things. Their staff kept quitting and we had three different coordinators. They didn’t handle what was done incorrectly gracefully and denied that they had done things wrong.

Anne and the HMC team were extremely responsive throughout the entire planning process. Editing and adjusting multiple proposals for us to select from which is what you need when planning such a massive event. We highly recommend opting for the menu tasting, it gave us the opportunity to adjust flavors and provide feedback on the food. It was clear from that one tasting Anne meticulously relayed our comments to her team and they were applied to our reception.When you hire HMC you are paying for a level of detail that other vendors will simply miss.A big thanks to Anne and her team at HMC!

I had such an amazing experience with Harvest Moon. The food and drinks were a highlight of our wedding, and the staff was fantastic! Wedding planning can be stressful, but I truly felt supported the whole way through.
