The party that Cater 2 Events catered for my boss's farewell reception last week was SUCH A HIT! Everyone was raving about how good the food was and how great the staff was and how beautiful the presentation was. All thanks to the amazing C2E staff who worked behind the scenes and on site to make the party one that all of us, especially the guest of honor, will always remember! I have been using C2E for years, and they continue to exceed my expectations. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

5 stars does not even begin to cover how we feel about Cater2Events! Our wedding was full of family and close friends and the delicious meal made it feel like everyone was around their family table enjoying together. Every single detail was perfect from the hors doeuvres that everyone devoured during cocktail hour, the crab cakes and beef tenderloin cooked to perfection, to the dessert table which was to die for. The staff was so kind and accommodating with our guests and just added to the joyful occasion. I didn’t have a single concern about the details knowing how seamlessly C2E would be and how well they work with our planner and her team. No one left hungry that night, and we got some many compliments on the menu the next day. For any event big or small, I wouldn’t trust anyone else with catering. Lona and Gil have mastered the art of making every person feel loved and special through food and I’m so grateful we got to share that love with our guests. Thank you for everything!!

Cater 2 Events was the caterer at my wedding this past June and they did an incredible job! We had over 190 people at the wedding and they did an amazing job feeding this large of a group. I had sooo many people comment on how amazing the food was and the staff was incredible as well. I was super happy with my decision to hire Cater 2 Events!

We used Cater 2 Events for our 10/12/24 wedding reception and were so pleased. Lona and her staff are amazing and so were the food and drinks. They were able to help answer questions during the planning process, set up a wonderful tasting event we were able to bring our moms to, and stayed in touch up until our event. We received so many compliments from our guests about the amazing food, drinks, and dessert options as we chose food and dessert stations. Lona did a small cutting cake for us and decorated with sunflowers to go with my wedding theme (my favorite flower) and even left us a sweet care package at the end of the night. We highly recommend Cater 2 Events and so glad they were there for our special day!!

The amazing team at Cater 2 Events has been such a constant source of support for us from the very beginning. Their team is professional and puts only the best foot forward with our mutual clients. We truly enjoy having their team out to River Run!

Cater 2 Events exceeded our expectations in every way imaginable for our waterfront private residence wedding, even with unexpected rain complications. From the moment we contacted them, their enthusiasm and dedication to making our day special and seamless was evident. Despite the weather challenges, their team remained upbeat and accommodating throughout. Lona and Gill helped to pull off an incredible wedding on the Rappahannock River.

Their family-style service was a big hit with everyone. It created such a warm, communal atmosphere, perfectly complementing the intimate setting of our event. Guests raved about the lemon chicken pasta and the roasted vegetables. We were impressed with how efficiently everyone was served. They understood our vision and went above and beyond to execute a beautiful reception. Lona embraced our love for oysters at our wedding and crafted a flawless raw bar experience.

Moreover, the bar service was top-notch. The bartenders were quick and attentive, ensuring drinks were flowing smoothly all evening. Their commitment to the presentation of my signature cocktails was much appreciated and added an extra touch of elegance to the celebration.

Overall, Cater 2 Events played a pivotal role in making our wedding day truly unforgettable. We continue to hear how wonderful the food was from guests. Their professionalism, flexibility, and genuine passion for their craft shone through every aspect of their service. We are incredibly grateful to their team. We highly recommend Cater 2 Events to anyone looking for exceptional catering with a personal touch.

Cater2Events is absolutely AMAZING, and I am so thankful they were apart of our wedding! Lona was truly incredible to work with, as we started to tell her our vision for dinner than quickly realized, my husband and I have very different tastes in food. However, Lona was able to create a menu that incorporates all of our favorite things, and helped us come to the decision of doing stations, and truly give our guests a unique dining experience, which is exactly what we wanted for our wedding!During our tasting Lona made a variety of different things, and welcomed all feedback. Everything was absolutely delicious.During the wedding the team really all came together and provided the best service possible. From the cocktail hour, serving complex signature drinks, to the immaculate service, to the attention to detail and care in all things.The team went above and beyond, and even incorporated our dog (twinkie) into the deserts, by making the most delicious twinkies in the world - this attention to detail is what made us love cater 2 events!I highly recommend them for any and all catering events, especially weddings. However, we are planning to have them cater our future baby shower, sister’s bridal party, and more – that is truly how incredible this team was.

Lona and Gil are the best of the best. First of all they are incredible people and are so much fun to work with. They are responsive, professional and creative. The food is delicious and the presentation is phenomenal - wedding guests were talking about it for weeks after! They made a cigar box style roaming oyster station happen for us and it was such a hit. Do not miss the chance to book these two!!

I needed help when my mother passed away. I live in another state, Cater2events immediately took charge, and I did not have to worry about one thing. They handled set-up, food, flowers and beverages. Professional and kind.

My husband and I got married at Burlington on 11.04.23 and had Cater2Events provide our food and drinks. We had to move our original dates due to my husbands deployment and they were so flexible and understanding. We have received SO MANY compliments on how amazing our food was and how it’s the best our guests have had at a wedding. They provide more of an experience which was way more than we asked for. The bridal party and guests were tended to and taken such good care of. Cannot recommend them enough!

If I could give this company 10 stars I would. Lona and her husband run a tight ship and don't miss a thing. Not only is their food out of this world delicious, but the way it's presented just puts it over the top. From initial calls and picking the menu to the tasting and walk through, Cater 2 Events was so thorough and attentive that it felt like we were the only wedding on their schedule. Cannot recommend this team enough!!

My wife and I were fortunate enough to have Lona and Gil from Cater2Events cater our wedding and let me just say they were fantastic. From our first meeting we just loved Lona and Gil. We had met with a few caterers who had good reviews and their food tasted good but the personal touch just wasn’t there. Everything felt very transactional. Then there was Cater2Events. Their food is phenomenal, their customer service is next level, and their wonderful/sweet personalities were just perfect. They really made us feel special through the whole process of catering our wedding. Their spread on the day of the wedding was gorgeous (will post photo once I’m able) and all of our guests just raved about the quality. We had multiple guests with dietary restrictions and they were more than accommodating, even making separate meals for our celiac guests Honestly I have nothing but great things to say about Cater2Events and if we ever need caterers in the future they will be my first call. Love them!

So glad that we were able to work with Cater2 Events for our wedding. After talking with a few caterers it was clear that Lona listened to what I was looking for and provided a menu that looked absolutely delicious! At the tasting, we knew we were making the right decision because all of the food was SO good, and as a plus Lona and Gill were so fun to talk to :) Prior to the wedding Cater 2 Events was so quick to answer all of my messages, and were able to help provide the right direction/solutions on everything. Leading up to the wedding, I was put at ease because I knew Cater 2 Events was going to be perfect, and it was clear they were prepared and were thinking of all the small details.Now for the food, it was absolutely delicious, they went above and beyond with everything they prepared from the appetizers to the stations, they were all so so good. They also presented all of the food so beautifully and all of the servers/bartenders were so kind. You could tell that each dish was prepared with love and detail and it definitely came across in the taste. Our guests are still talking about the food at the wedding, especially the shrimp and grits!
