Understanding Full-Service Catering: More Than Just Food


First things first, let’s talk about what ‘full-service catering’ really means. It’s more than just dropping off food. It’s creating an experience- including linen and dish selections, tent rentals, bartending, and staffing. We work with you from the initial planning stages through to clean up so that you can focus on your day and not sweat the details!


Seasonal Menus Catering To Northern Virginia And The Shenandoah Valley


We believe in showcasing the best of each season. Our menus are inspired by the fresh, local ingredients that make the Shenandoah Valley so special.



Creating Your Signature Menu: A Step-by-Step Approach


Start with Your Vision:

What kind of atmosphere do you want to create? Elegant, formal, casual, rustic…? Your vision sets the tone for your menu. A plated dinner says elegance. Perhaps:


Herb, Black Pepper, and Sea Salt Roasted Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Cream served with Roasted Garlic Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes with Sweet Cream Butter, Fresh Green Beans with Wild Mushrooms and Herb Butter, and a fresh Locally Grown Salad Greens with Pear, Cranberries, Toasted Almonds, Gorgonzola and Honey Balsamic Dressing and Assorted Hearty Black Bread with Salted Vermont Butter. 


Or – maybe casual sliders are more your style. Try our popular Slider Station! Picture mini Baby Jumbo Lump Crab Cake Sliders with a zesty Lemon Caper Sauce, or rich Waygu Beef Sliders with Applewood Smoked Cheddar. We also offer a fresh Provencal Potato Salad with Capers and White Wine as a wonderful side.


Consider Your Guests:

Think about dietary restrictions and preferences. We offer a wide range of options, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free and dairy-free choices.


Embrace the Season:

We’ll help you create a menu that highlights the best of what’s available. We have sample menus for each season: Spring Menu, Summer Menu, Fall Menu, and Winter Menus, but we love to customize to your specific event. No two clients are ever the same and that’s exactly how we like it.


Don’t Forget the Details:

Presentation matters! Maybe you’ll want our staff to pass our h’orderve cone calelabra or longboard presentation of small bites. Perhaps a carving station with our famous salmon and cucumber scales?

What sets us apart? It’s our dedication to personalized service, high-quality ingredients, and flawless execution. We aim to create a memorable, luxury dining experience for you and your guests.
