I would give more stars if I could!! Chelsea and her team were exceptional from the tasting to the wedding day. She was so accommodating to our needs and our guests with dietary restrictions. We have friends and family that are STILL talking about how good our wedding food was (the mashed potatoes are insanely delicious and cheesy!!). Her bartenders were the best and made the drinks exactly how I wanted them (strong and absolutely delicious). They made our signature drinks perfectly and I was so happy with how everything came out. Do not even get me started on the hors d'oeuvres. The lamb was incredible and Chelsea made sure that my husband and I got to try everything. We also took a quick break for photos at the beginning of dinner, and she ensured that our dinner was HOT and waiting for us at the perfect time when we were done. I dont know how she did it all, but I am still blown away. I am so glad we got to work with her and her company!

As the bride and groom, we wanted to create a truly unforgettable environment for our big day as we’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! We were fortunate enough to receive a recommendation from our wedding venue, Norfolk Botanical Gardens, for an incredibly talented catering team, East Beach Catering, who exceeded our every expectation! We interacted with a few different team members from the East Beach Catering, and what struck us most about their team was their ability to capture, transform and bring to life the ideas we had for the vision of our wedding palette without missing a beat. Their attention to detail and artistic eye brought out the smallest, most tender moments that may have otherwise been overlooked. We received so many compliments about the quality of food and service provided by the East Beach Catering team! It’s 52 days later and our guests haven’t stopped raving about the delicious food they received!
Chelsea and her team are not only masters in creation, but they are also true professionals. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made every small detail look perfect. The level of communication provided by the East Beach Catering team is impeccable as they were always willing to answer a text, email or call whenever we had a question, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. They even went above and beyond to assist us in providing a full alcohol shopping list (even when we chose not to use their bar services to save money). They were also true champions to set up (and move from one location to another in between events) many different catering options throughout an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia! During our tasting, the East Beach Catering team provided many different ideas and suggestions to make sure we could bring our vision to life in the best and most efficient way possible while staying within budget. They were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) during the tasting and were more concerned with making everything 100% perfect for our big day. They asked an abundance of great questions throughout the process to get a feel for what were our absolute “must haves” and even suggested some things we hadn’t thought of. They took great caution to note allergies and food preferences for guests and even ran some of our favorite cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres to us while we were in a separate location working on getting additional bride and groom portraits.
Working with Chelsea and her team has been an absolute pleasure from first contact until the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of wedding catering! We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary tasty wedding sweets! - The Canavoses

It was such a pleasure working with Chelsea and East Beach catering for my June 2025. They always answered my questions promptly and with such detail. They were so professional and really knew their stuff. I didn’t have to worry about anything the day of the wedding. The wait and bar staff were fantastic, and the food tasted just as good as during the tasting. East Beach was also amazing by providing their own tablescape for the bar and buffet.

As a DJ company, we've worked with many caterers—East Beach Catering is hands-down one of the best. Their personal approach, flawless execution, and attention to detail make every event smooth and stress-free. They don’t just serve great food—they create an experience with professionalism, warmth, and care. A true pleasure to work with every time.

We had the pleasure of working with Chelsea and the East Beach Catering team this past weekend, and they were absolutely incredible. Even with a few last-minute changes behind the scenes, Chelsea handled everything with such calm, professionalism, and efficiency.

The food was amazing, service was smooth, and her team never missed a beat. Truly grateful to have worked alongside such a reliable and adaptable crew, highly recommend working with Chelsey and East Beach Catering!

We had a fabulous experience with East Beach Catering. From planning, selecting to executing, everything was done professionally. The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. There were some hiccups with our venue's setup, and the lead person from East Beach stepped right up and not only fixed it but went above and beyond to make sure everything was as we had envisioned it. We highly recommend this caterer.

We hired East Beach Catering to provide dinner, dessert, and bar services for our wedding. Chelsea was extremely accommodating and helpful. She worked with us to provide a very customized proposal and the prices were quite reasonable. The food was also of the quality and taste of what you would find at a very high scale restaurant. I highly recommend Each Beach Catering for your event!

I booked East Beach Catering for my wedding. Chelsea and her team are some of the most incredible caterers to work with! Our tasting alone convinced me that we had made the right move. On top of this, my wedding guests have not stopped talking about how this was some of the BEST wedding food they've ever had! The service was incredible and the food was beyond expectations. 10/10 would recommend!

East Beach provided a seamless event for our spring luncheon of 160 guests. The food was wonderful, the set-up was excellent and all the staff helpful and accommodating.Collaborating and communicating with Chelsea and others through this process was a breeze! They were extremely responsive and thorough. They went out of their way to accommodate our staff and last minute changes.

East beach catering delivered food to my daughters house for her bridal shower for Sunday brunch. The delivery was right on time and the presentation, set up, and food was far beyond my expectations. They did a fantastic job! The food was delicious and everybody was raving about it. I will definitely be using them again for any future events.

East Beach Catering was a joy to work with. Chelsea hosted my now husband and I for a tasting for our wedding. It was a blast and the food was fantastic! We were also given a complementary bottle of wine so that always makes it fun hehe.On wedding day, she was so sweet and catering to the bridal party (and of course everyone). Chilled champagne for us and kept checking in to see if we needed more.Our food of choice wasn’t a traditional sit down dinner, we went with hors d’oeuvres. The bar was beautiful and kept up with our guests.I would highly recommend East Beach Catering!

East Beach Catering was absolutely wonderful to work with. We hosted a reception last night at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens, and everyone on EBC’s team made the Bride’s dream come true. The food was not only delicious, but the presentation was absolutely beautiful, without any design input from the wedding party. We hadn’t thought about decorating the buffet, but EBC came prepared and took it to the next level. I can’t say enough good things about everyone we got to work with last night, it was a great experience.
