R&R Catering

What can I say about the food and service I received from R&R Catering? It was all absolutely wonderful! I couldn't have asked for better. Anne was my Event Designer and I would highly recommend her! She was super friendly and easy to talk to and was very responsive to my questions and requests. She made planning the catering portion of my wedding so stress-free! I can also not say enough good things about my on-site supervisor, Norma. She was so warm and friendly and I honestly didn't have to worry about a thing at my wedding. She made sure I got enough food throughout the night and kept everything running so smoothly. I've had many people tell me how friendly and helpful she was! The entire staff that R&R provided was fantastic. Truly, I couldn't have asked for better service. And now on to the food - the crab cake appetizers and the crab and artichoke dip station are a must! I loved the dual entree approach that R&R uses and it was all delicious. I highly, highly recommend R&R Catering and, if possible, you should try to request to work with Anne and Norma. They were amazing!

Upon our first visit to a tasting event with R&R catering, we were in love. This is not your average, cookie cutter catering company. An avid fan of precision and attention to detail, and foodies with discernible palettes, we were not an easy sell. We believe food makes or breaks a social event, so we took our time selecting a caterer; well over 8 months. Our expectations were not simple: we wanted a company who could offer eclectic, down-home, yet classy menu options, a wide variety of fine linens, flatware, and settings, the service needed to be top notch- attentive, but not snotty, and we needed to trust that they would be able to manage the flow of our wedding without pause or issue. R&R met all of those demands; and the person who really sealed the deal for us was NATALIE. She's amazing and we recommend her wholeheartedly. A vibrate professional with a passion for details and a trove of creativity, Natalie's enthusiasm assured us that R&R was the company for our event. With her assistance and guidance, we were able to create the perfect melding of formality, without pretension, yet plenty of warmth. Our stations were interesting, not your normal carving station - we also opted for a flambe station that was a HUGE success. Our appetizers had our guests talking for weeks: spicy tomato bisque with grilled cheese with provolone and pesto, shrimp and grits served on modern mini plates, and jalapeno cornbread with chicken salad - our guests are still raving about it all! Perhaps the thing that made all the difference was the service - all the employees were attentive, and warm. The obviously enjoy working for the company as much as we enjoyed having them handle our affair. You can't go wrong with R&R. They can do just about anything and you won't find a better quality caterer in the DMV area. Ask for Natalie - she's a joy to work with and will genuinely invest in your event. We can't wait to work with R&R in the near future for upcoming birthday's and holiday events - did I mention that they have an amazing BBQ menu?! I highly recommend this company and I will be working with them again in the near future.

We worked with Rachael Lincoln for our wedding in DC on October 29th. We chose R&R Catering about 7 months before our wedding, and chose them because of their responsiveness to our inquiries, the good reviews we read about them, and quality of food when we went for the tasting. Over the next few months as we locked down the menu and catering details, Rachael has been consistently responsive, professional and service-oriented. We had our initial walk-through in DC on the day of the earthquake, and although shaken, she was a trooper and continued the meeting. On the day of our event, she came over and stayed for a few hours to ensure that everything was running smoothly. The event designer does not always do this, but Rachael knew exactly what we wanted, where and when, and having her there was extra insurance that everything would go well. Overall, we are extremely satisfied and happy with our experience with R&R. The food was delicious (our guests are still raving about it), the service was attentive and professional, and the cleanup job excellent. Our day-of captain, Norma, was also fabulous. She reacted quickly when we discovered an issue with some missing wine and was also diligent in ensuring that the bridal party had enough food and beverages. She also did a good job keeping us well-informed and well-fed. For the quality of the menu and service we got, we thought it was a good deal. We did our reception buffet-style. Rachael knew we wanted some Asian food and seafood, so we had sushi and crab cake as part of our appetizers and also incorporated Asian London broil - our guests LOVED the beef. Tender, juicy and cooked perfectly. We would highly recommend R&R Catering, and especially Rachael and Norma, to anyone.

Loved working with R&R Catering, from our Tasting with them, we decided to hire them for our Wedding. The Food was delicious and hot. When your wedding guests go back for seconds, you know that the food is very tasty. our Wait Staff and Bartender were wonderful, they were around but you never felt they were in the way. Our Supervisor for the day was so excredibly wonderful, was very organized. She even made my groom and me a plate of food for out Table. It was so wonderful to go to our Table to find a plate for each of us waiting. I would not have eaten as much as I did had she not taken care of us. Once I started eating, it was very easy to almost clean my plate. Food was that good!!!! I would recommend them; and have. We will most likely use them for a Company Function because the food was so tasty. Thank you R&R!!!

Anne and Anita made working with R&R easy. I was very happy with the service and food I received for my wedding buffet. I must admit that their day of performance and private tastings are better than any of the large tastings we went to. My guests loved their food and asked me over and over who were the caterers. I found their prices very fair and reasonable and they threw in all sorts of upgrades without even asking. I would definitely recommend them in the future!

We were referred to R&R because we got married at Breaux Vineyards and they are the preferred vendor there. Not knowing anything about the caters in the area, we didn't know how to feel about that but after all was said and done, R&R was amazing. We worked with Natalie Seng. Natalie was responsive, professional and very friendly throughout our entire experience. She worked with us to set up the perfect menu for our time of year and wedding theme and did everything it took to make us feel comfortable that she had all our needs covered. She and her staff were amazing. The food is wonderful. We had a dual plating of sea bass and sirloin and everyone loved it. Some actually thought the sirloin was filet mignon because it was so tender. The hors d'oeuvres were amazing and friends still ask us to call R&R for their recipes. While we were taking pictures, they had staff members serve the bridal party snacks and drinks because we couldn't be at the cocktail hour. We were really impressed. DO NOT judge them on their mass tastings. On the day of the event, they step up their game big time and some of the issues we had with the tastings (food gets cold or dry) never happened. Highly recommended!

R&R was recommended to us from a family member who had used them before. We had to act fast as we were running out of time, and we were so happy with how fast everything went (from proposals to tastings). We previously had bad experiences with tastings and even responsivness from other companies. R&R made everything so easy, they put on an excellent (private) tasting, the presentation, taste and price were what we were looking for-we were thrilled to finally find a company who had it all! (We had to not only find a caterer, but someone who could provide chairs, tables etc as our venue had nothing.) We worked with Dianna Gilbert and her assistant Nicholle, they were very responsive and patient as we made many changes to our contract, and had many questions in general. Dianna was able to provide us an inital diagram for our reception which was spot on to what we wanted. The food was great the day of, as was the service. We were very happy with our food & beverage experience w/ R&R Catering.

R&R Catering provided sensational food for our wedding. The wait staff was great too. Everything was on time, well prepared, and well presented. Anne was the R&R event planner for us and she helped up right up to wedding day. We are still getting complements for the food that was served. The abundance of options for food was above par. All around a great experience and we would recommend them to anyone.

R&R catered both our wedding reception and rehearsal dinner! The food was so delicious! We got so many compliments from guests saying that the food was some of the best they ever had had at a wedding! We worked with Rachael who was so pleasant, helpful, and easy to work with! Working with R&R catering was very stress and hassle free. They even helped us at the reception with lighting candles on the table! Be sure to try the Pecan Chicken and Gourmet Mac and Chesse!

I loved R&R Catering. We looked at a number of catering companies for our wedding and R&R was definitely the one who worked best with us with our budget. We did a buffet for our wedding which worked great - gave a lot of variety for our guests. Lots of them commented on how much they liked the food at the wedding. R&R is very easy to work with and a great value! I highly recommend them.

One of the comments that I get from my guests is "The food was delicious!" R&R was great to work with, provided great food, and made the wedding day a breeze. The displays were gorgeous and everything came together as we had discussed without me having to worry about a thing. If you're looking for excellent food that people will remember, I strongly recommend.

R and R Catering and Natalie were absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend R and R strongly enough, Natalie and the team made our wedding day a dream come true. Natalie was there with me every step of the way and had amazing decor and setting ideas. She has an eye for design that is phenomenal. We went to a tasting and chose our menu. We did a buffet dinner and it was perfect for us. All of our guests commented on how delicious the food tasted. The bartender was also amazing and kept guests hydrated :-) The entire R and R team made sure that our day was amazing and went off without a hitch. Everything was perfect and flowed with ease. The value for the quality that you receive is outstanding and cannot be matched by any other company.

R&R Catering was fantastic! We were very pleased with the quality of service and the professionalism from start to finish. Dianna was our event designer and contact person. Any questions or concerns we had she handled in a timely manner. She assured us that everything was going to be great and not to worry. She was absolutely right! Our wedding was AMAZING and so was the food! Everyone is still raving about how GOOD the food tasted at the wedding. Trish was there the day of to make sure that everything was to our liking and she did a wonderful job! We were so excited that we could not eat everything and she was able to give us a few take home bags for later! If you are looking for quality, professionalism, great value, and superior service R&R Catering is the caterer for your special day! We can't thank Dianna and Trish enough for making our wedding day a day we will never forget! Much Thanks, Mr. & Mrs. Johnson

R&R Catering was wonderful! The People: We worked with Rachael as our Event Designer and Trish was our Wedding Day Supervisor. Both of these women were EXCELLENT. All the staff on the actual day were friendly and did their jobs well. When we asked them to stay an extra hour, everyone was good to go. The Food: The food was SO GOOD!! Everyone really enjoyed dinner and we barely had any leftovers. I knew that the food was going to be pretty good -- but with a buffet, sometimes the food is iffy -- not so with R&R. Our buffet was wonderful and all our guests told us how much they enjoyed the food. The Steak Au Poivre is really excellent and got the best ratings from our guests. The Tasting: The tastings are done out of their Springfield headquarters. It was really relaxed and fun. Come hungry; they don't just serve you teeny portions of everything, they serve you a giant portion so you can really see what your guests will be getting. We had a great time at the tasting and enjoyed everything. Overall Professionalism: We found R&R to be extremely professional and reliable. Everyone showed up on time and did what they said they would do. Early on in the process, there was a mistake in the contract that we had already signed. R&R fixed the mistake on their dime and made sure that we were taken care of. Great company, great people, great food! We are so glad we hired R&R for our wedding.

I am writing this review to ensure people know of the high quality, professional care and touch we received while using these caterers. From the beginning Rachel Lincoln (our event designer)and Trish Grant (our supervisor for the day)worked with us tirelessly and without fail to see our vision of a perfect reception for our wedding fulfilled. Their efforts and patience allowed us an opportunity to have a wedding reception that had so many delicious food options even while on a budget. We would recommend these caterers to any of our friends and family members because we know they would be satisfied to the fullest with the quality of service we received. I can tell you from Day one that Rachel Lincoln was very responsive with emails and phone calls. The tasting were great too. Thank you R & R for saving us money on our wedding foods.

R & R catering was amazing! I couldn't of had a better caterer for our wedding. The food was amazing and beautifully displayed. One guest mentioned that it was the best food they've had at a wedding! Anne Portell was a great point of contact. She was flexible in meeting schedules and all the changes that had to be made.

We used R&R catering for our wedding on May 1st at Rock Hill Plantation in Stafford VA and they were amazing! We worked with Anne and Claudia! They were very responsive, the food was wonderful and their whole staff was amazing! They were all great to work with and the food was worth every penny! I would recommend them to everyone, definitely worth 5 stars!!!!

The staff were friendly and very helpful. They offered advice and assistance from choosing menu choices and linens to setting up the entire reception area on the wedding day. The food was spectacular and they made sure to attend to the bride and groom during the reception as well as pack up any leftovers at the end. Fantastic service!

R&R Catering was THE stand-out vendor of our wedding! They were professional, pleasant, efficient, and provided great food! The atmosphere they created (with linens, table settings, etc.) was elegant and lovely, and the staff was so nice! I was always amazed at how they could re-fold my husband's and my linen napkins if we moved from our table for an instant - and we never saw them do it!! All of our guests were pleased with the food and service, and the bartender even helped with our photo guestbook (which was set up right next to the bar). R&R was able to accommodate our vegan bridesmaid along with our many guests with milk/ dairy/ gluten allergies, AND all of us who love to eat meat. It was no mean feat! Additionally, Anita (our event supervisor) was so helpful when other things weren't going right (such as asking our DJ to play music when it was silent, etc.) - I knew anything they could help with, they would, and I didn't have to worry about it. I also loved that, before returning our personal champagne toasting glasses, they were washed and put neatly back into the packaging they came in to keep them safe for us. R&R went above and beyond our expectations - we were told that they were the top in the area and that their attention to detail was exceptional - but I couldn't believe how exceptional they were. I would use them again for another event in a heartbeat, and recommend them without reservation.

We loved R&R. We were trying to provide our guests with a reception that was nice, with good food without breaking our budget. After receiving really high quotes from other vendors, we were relieved to get R&R's quote that fell within our budget. Rachael was our liaison and was there every step of the way. They gave us a full tasting (we weren't expecting a full meal for our tasting!), and allowed us to make changes to our quote to fit with our tastes. Since R&R had never worked with our reception venue, she even met me at the location (over an hour a way) and walked through my desired set up. She also came on the day of the wedding to be sure that everything got set up the way it was supposed to be, even though that fell outside her required job duties. We received great compliments on the food and the service (we chose a buffet style set up, but the staff helped clear table and fill water glasses). We would definitely use R&R catering again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a vendor!
