Brian K. says, "We recently hosted a 50-person party, and MGC Catering absolutely nailed it. From start to finish, everything ran flawlessly. Brandon, our bartender, was professional, friendly, and seriously talented. His signature Yuzu Spritz was a huge hit -- perfectly balanced and a refreshing complement to the Japanese-themed menu. Chris, our waiter, went above and beyond. He made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of. The food stayed warm, the platters were constantly refreshed, and he somehow managed to keep the energy up all night. The cherry on top? He even made pizza for our kids while we were mingling -- such a thoughtful touch! MGC always comes through with exceptional service, delicious food and drinks. We highly recommend them for any event -- big or small. You can always count on their team to make it special!"See more

Ruby D. says, "We had the absolute pleasure of having DMV Cater serve our anniversary celebration, and they exceeded every expectation. Yes, the food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and hardworking—but what truly set DMV Cater apart was their ability to go above and beyond in every way. From the start, Jamie (DMV Cater owner) and her team arrived early to help prepare not only the food but also the party space itself. She worked closely with us, offering thoughtful ideas that transformed the space and set the perfect atmosphere for our event. Throughout the day-long celebration, which transitioned seamlessly from lunch to dinner, Jamie and her team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything flowed effortlessly. The attention to detail was unmatched—dishes were constantly replenished, nothing ever sat empty, and when our vegetarian options began running low, Jamie went the extra mile by personally going to the store, purchasing fresh ingredients, and preparing additional dishes on the spot. That kind of dedication is rare, and it did not go unnoticed by us or our guests, who shared countless compliments about both the food and the overall experience. Jamie not only delivered outstanding service and cuisine but also took the time to quickly build a warm relationship with us, truly understanding our vision for the day and delivering beyond what we imagined. We wholeheartedly recommend DMV Cater and would not hesitate to invite them back for any future occasion. They turned our special day into an unforgettable experience!"See more
