Hello!! Norm from Signature DJs here!! Such a great time working with your team tonight! EVERYONE in the Catering Outfit team were amazing to work with. The attention to detail and service I witnessed this evening was exceptional. Drew and Isaac were great with energy during the open dance floor and helped bring the party!! I was so impressed when a glass was broken on the dance floor, that they literally sprung into action and had everyone safe in about a minute. Proof that you can enjoy your job and do it at a high level. Great job ! Loved working with you!

I cannot say enough good things about Telia and The Catering Outfit. The Catering Outfit catered my wedding in September and throughout the process Telia was responsive, creative in her solutions, mindful of our budget, and detail oriented. She happily answered all of my many emails, put together a fabulous tasting, and even let us make further adjustments to the dishes that we chose. The food was amazing, her team was cohesive and professional. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed up all night reminiscing the days events and eating a plethora of leftovers that had been thoughtfully prepared for us. If I had to do it all again, I would choose TCO every time. Thank you Telia!

I could not say enough good things about Courtney and TCO. Throughout the year long process of planning the full catering, rentals, and day of planning for our wedding she was incredibly patient, thorough, collaborative, knowledgeable, and funny! She is very professional and you can tell she really cares and loves what she does. There were so many little things she thought of that made our day go smoothly/lives easier. She gave us insightful advice on some of the bigger decisions as well. She was always available to answer questions and went above and beyond to provide recommendations and guidance. I would hire Courtney and TCO again in a heartbeat and if you have the opportunity to work with them, you should without hesitation. TCO: The initial tasting was amazing and they provided an extensive list of options beforehand. They were flexible with dietary restrictions and even with small alterations to menu options. The food itself was delicious, outstanding, best food I've ever had at a wedding. That's why we picked them, they catered a friend's wedding before ours and we were blown away. They were also great with working with the venue itself and their staff.

While we ultimately went in a different direction, The Catering Outfit provided a professional and personable context in which to begin to plan our event. They clearly know what they are doing, from an extensive menu of creative offerings to well considered staffing and equipment needs-- they are fully prepared to do it all and to support their clients' vision gracefully. They are impressive.

I reached out to the Catering outfit for a quote. They said they were working on it and never got back to me. It’s been weeks. I emailed twice and called several times and they have not gotten back to me or contacted me in any way. It’s a bummer because their other reviews and good look great
Chloe Hargis
The catering outfit was great to work with from start to finish. So easy working with them to get all of rentals ordered and the food was so delicious! We highly recommend!

The Catering Outfit did a more than fantastic job with my wedding. Not only was all the food amazing, the team worked with a great deal of professionalism. The pre wedding approach couldn't have been smoother and communication about all aspects of the event were answered. They handled all of the dietary restrictions for our guests without any issue and made sure every detail and request was catered to. The food and service the day of was amazing - our guests keep saying how impressed they were and how great the food was. I highly recommend TCO.

We used them for our wedding...they helped guide and pick the menu once I came up with a theme for the meal. Everything was so much better than I ever imagined. Food was delicious and presentation was top notch! Telia and her team blew us away with how they put together our meals and made our day perfect!

My family attended the oyster event at King Family this afternoon. My wife, who is a senior adult, had never tasted an oyster. She ended up and ate 4 roasted oysters and we had the clam chowder. Absolutely the best ever! Thank you so much for a wonderful afternoon. Your food paired so well with King Family wine.

I once again worked with The Catering Outfit for my nonprofit gala this year, and I can't say enough about their exceptional service and their commitment to making our event an unforgettable triumph. From the moment I first reached out to them more than 5 years ago, I was met with enthusiasm and professionalism, and it only got better from there.
Courtney is consistently a delight to work with. Her expertise in event planning and catering was evident from our very first conversation. She took the time to understand our specific needs and vision for our event and how we serve the LGBTQ and allied community, and her creative suggestions and personal touches that came from those conversations have truly made our events special. Courtney's attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made a significant difference in the planning process. She ensured that every aspect of our event, from the menu to the decor, was tailored to our theme and message. She is an expert at pulling together a package of rentals to make events looks beautiful, tailored to the space they are in. Her dedication to inclusivity and equality was evident, and she truly embraced the spirit of our event.
On the day of the event, Courtney's dedication was matched by an outstanding performance on-site by Dale. He and the TCO team were an absolute dream to work with this year. They were not only professional but also incredibly friendly and attentive to each person’s needs. Their warmth added to the overall atmosphere of the event, making everyone feel welcome and at ease. Little details like when to pour wines and serve courses within the choreography of our speeches just really put things over the top. We were greeted with an exceptionally gusty day on the mountaintop this year, and Dale was quick on his feet to bring in cocktail tails and repurpose them inside the venue.
Now, the food!! The Catering Outfit truly outdid themselves. The menu was carefully designed for every guest to enjoy themselves regardless of dietary restrictions. I could have indulged in a few more plates of the crab cakes and steak... But I had some self-restraint fortunately. Presentation and server choreography were impeccable, and the quality of the food was exceptional. I can’t stop emphasizing the choreography because our event has gone over its planned time multiple years in its 25 year history — but we ended right on time, thanks to their professionalism and diligence.
I would wholeheartedly recommend The Catering Outfit to anyone who needs catering services of the highest caliber possible in Central Virginia. Their support for our LGBTQ event, their outstanding professionalism, and their careful attention to detail makes them an invaluable partner in creating memorable, inclusive, and joyful experiences. Without them, we could not set such a wonderful backdrop to celebrate our award recipients. Thank you, Courtney, Dale and team for bringing our vision to life! Walter, you’ve assembled an awesome group of people.
Our huge employee event celebrating our company's 50th year in business was a huge success, largely thanks to the great work done by The Catering Outfit. From my first conversation with account executive Frank to the ongoing interactions with event manager Makayla, TCO was professional and responsive, and they did exactly what they said they'd do, when they said they'd do it. We would definitely use them again.

The Catering Outfit and Courtney are beyond amazing! A couple years ago we went to a wedding that was catered by TCO and planned by Courtney. After tasting their delicious food and drinks and seeing how flawless and beautiful the wedding was, we knew we wanted them for our special day.Our food was beyond incredible and signature drinks were fresh, unique, and a BIG hit. Our family and friends are still talking about our food and drinks. The TCO team provided outstanding service. Everyone we worked with was professional, friendly, and accommodated all of our wishes and needs.Courtney is the best! She made the stressful planning experience easy and enjoyable. She was always available to answered any questions we had and went above and beyond to provide recommendations and guidance. Courtney took all my random ideas and created the most beautiful ceremony, reception space, and wedding. Her attention to detail and organization truly made our day perfect.This team exceeded all of our expectations and we cannot thank and say enough about them!

The Catering Outfit did an amazing job of making my son’s wedding the most memorable event I’ve ever attended . We live 400 miles from the event location and I was able to do everything over the internet . The food and the employees were so professional. The price was right and no hassles . Thank you Courtney ! Hopefully Grand babies are just around the corner

TCO's flexibility, attention to detail, care with our son's celiac disease, and the team's creativity with our menus was so professional and top notch! The TCO team was lovely to work with, calm, flexible and fun to be around. They took such great care of us ALL weekend long with 3 catered events at our home for the wedding. TCO put together fabulous menus that made everyone happy, especially our always hungry son-in-law! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this special weekend so memorable and perfect for our newlyweds and our whole family!
