Catering by Seasons

ynis's suggestion of serving dinner in a family style way turned out amazing. Throughout the past year, almost everyone we talk to about our wedding mentions how good the food was, with the homemade ravioli as the biggest hit. Glynis made sure we were perfectly happy with the menu, gave us expert advice on what goes well together, went above and beyond to accommodate vegan and gluten dietary restrictions, and did an amazing job talking to our guests about the food at our wedding. And to top it all off, our desserts could not have been any better.

top to bottom event planner and recommended many other service providers. She worked with us on a creative and delicious menu to accommodate our vegan, vegetarian and gluten free guests. The table settings, food and service were all outstanding. I highly recommend Glynis and Seasons.

of menus from which to choose from- creative, unusual, and accommodating to the many special food requirements that our guests presented to us. She worked tirelessly on things that I would never have expected from a caterer- décor suggestions, table settings, linen suggestions and so much more. The night of the event Glynis was there to not just to hand me a tissue but to reassure my daughter that everything was going to be perfect. She acted as far more than a catering manager, she acted as an event coordinator, keeping things running smoothly and anticipating everyone’s needs. It goes without saying that the food was SPECTACULAR- not just beautiful to look at but so delicious that people are still talking about the food a month later. My daughter was one of the last of her friends to get married, so her group was pretty jaded when it came to wedding receptions. Even they thought the appetizers, dinner and the dessert buffet were incredible. My husband loved that Glynis asked what his favorite foods were and made sure that they were part of the menu. He is still talking about the small lambchop passed appetizer and wants to know if I can learn to make them! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Glynis again for catering. She goes so far above and beyond to make sure that I feel as if I’ve made a friend for life rather instead of hiring a vendor that I will forget.

needs. Each member of the team that arrives is professional, kind, and there to ensure the event goes off seamlessly so you and your guests can enjoy your day! Catering by Seasons' menu has options that will satisfy everyone's tastes and the dedicated team taking reservations always take into account all dietary restrictions. There really are menu options for everyone! While the menu is extensive, the team at Catering by Seasons will help design a perfect menu based on your budget and tastes. I worked with Leeanne to book my event and she helped provide catering options that included fish, meat, vegetarian options and foods that were gluten/dairy free. She is professional, kind, and on top of all of the details when it comes to events. I never have a problem reaching Leeanne and she makes the ordering process stress free! On the day of the event, the service team arrived on time with everything they needed for a successful service, dressed professionally, was diligent in cleaning up chinaware, making sure drinks were filled, and providing outstanding, courteous service with past hors d'oeuvres and throughout the day. At the end of the event, the team took care of cleaning up, ensuring the space was as clean (if not better) than when they arrived and packaged up all left over food for safe travel and storage. The team are also licensed bartenders and were able to take care of all of my alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage needs. The price for the service, chinaware, beverages, and food is unmatched! Catering by Seasons does not skimp on service or quality for their prices! I gladly recommend Catering by Seasons to all of my friends when they look for a great local caterer and call them for all of my professional catering needs.

sted a happy hour that was play on a low country boil with live oyster shucking, jambalaya, and more. We got so many compliments on the food and service. You want the Catering by Seasons team for your next event!

ot and will not recommend Saint Germaine Catering). I called Catering by Seasons while crying and on the verge of a breakdown and was lucky enough to be connected to their VP, Leeanne. She and her team worked absolute magic and made it their goal to erase the bad vibes from our previous caterer. Their menu is not only vast, but if you have a recipe that you love, their chefs will learn to make it! The food was absolutely amazing and our guests were raving about it for weeks. Also, I specifically wanted dumplings for one of our hors d’oeuvres, and Chef Scott absolutely delivered. He further earned our hearts by handing us a to-go container FULL of dumplings when our reception was over. They were absolutely essential post after-party!

egard for our requests disqualify any recommendations for her services. Throughout the entire process - email communications, venue walkthrough, and even the event itself - the caterer was disrespectful to our planner, often trying to take over her job. She referred to our vendors repeatedly as "the help" and refused to let them go through the buffet line at the time that we, the clients, had decided. The event coordinator consistently forced her own choices onto our event, despite clear and respectful communication on our end. For example, she ignored the table setup plans we discussed at our venue walkthrough, and as a result, the family of one of the brides (including parents and matron of honor) were stuck in the corner of the room rather than closest to our sweetheart table. At the reception, we had requested that the cake be placed on the table with the desserts so the guests could see it. Instead, Catering by Seasons placed our small 6-inch cake on a large table in the back of the room, so nobody saw it. The event coordinator clearly scoffed at our flower and chuppah budget during the planning process and was disrespectful or explicitly rude to a number of guests on the day of the event. She verbally berated an elderly guest as they tried to leave the event hall to use the restroom before we made our entrance. She also belittled a guest who asked about a food allergy, after one of the caterer’s own servers mistakenly told a guest that all food was cooked in sesame oil, which the guest was allergic to and which also was not the case. We did not feel as though food allergies were taken seriously. My wife is celiac, which we explained numerous times, but the event coordinator did not remember which items contained gluten at the tasting or the menu discussions that followed. Some of the sweet potatoes in one of the appetizers were so undercooked that they were inedible. The green beans and carrots on the dinner buffet were undercooked and the potatoes were cold, but the meats were good. For this highly unprofessional behavior on the day of the wedding and generally unpleasant planning process, we do not recommend Catering by Seasons.

food. The waitstaff, bartenders, and captain (I believe his name was Juan) were phenomenal. They were courteous and attentive. My Event Coordinator had high praise. Overall the food was fine but there were a few issues. ⦁ Cold bread - I specifically advised Ms. Keith, several times because I love my carbs, that I wanted fresh warm bread and soft butter. I stated this so much that she put "warm bread and soft butter" in the proposal and I printed it on the guest menus. We receive cold, hard bread and soft butter. ⦁ The carrots and green beans were barely kissed by heat. I didn't mention I liked cooked veggies because they were perfectly made for the tasting. ⦁ The last guest table received small dollops of mashed potatoes as it seems the portions were not evenly distributed. ⦁ The salads were barely dressed. The salad received during the meal was not the salad served during the tasting. Now on to Ms. Keith... The friction came about because I believe Ms. Keith is used to getting the budget and general wants from the client then running and executing as she sees fit. Below briefly (dang character limit) outlines the concerns I sent her via email. Abrasive - Ms. Keith's communication regarding her opposition to the table overlays was seriously lacking nuance. She acted like she was contributing funds to pay for the party. My Coordinator had to tell her 3 times, "we had this, let it go". Condescending - I sent clarifying questions about the proposal and received cut/paste verbiage from the proposal as responses Dismissive - I sent emails requesting information be sent (from a meeting that had taken place a month prior), with a week lead time as the deadline, and I received last minute piecemeal and pushback. She told me I was the only one to ever ask for an itemized statement and that she was super busy with other events. Lack attention to details - Never took any notes during meetings. Will argue you down over items she's forgotten. On day of, my Event Coordinator was very frustrated because discussed details (a few suggested by Ms. Keith) were forgotten by Ms. Keith. Lastly, Ms. Keith's attire. This event was formal, she knew I had a custom, full-length gown made and the gentlemen wore tuxes. Ms. Keith wore an oversize, sloppy black shirt, faded black pants and scuffed up white tennis shoes. If she was going to remain unseen, absolutely no problem, but she was front and center during all aspects of the event - cocktail hour, dinner and start of the dancing. All others were sharply dressed. Ms. Keith looked out of place. Ms. Keith made this harder than it should have been and frankly took the some of the joy. She offered free stuff at the end but I politely declined as I did not want anything other than what I paid for.

s, fun, reception-style event and neither my now-husband nor I were excited about taking care of the details. Polly helped communicate with the venue, decide on room set up, organize table linens, figure out the most economical way to handle alcohol, and so much more. The food was amazing--we got tons of compliments from our guests. The dessert buffet in particular was a huge hit. Our captain, Teresa, was attentive and focused on all the details. We highly recommend Catering by Seasons for your wedding!

s stay on top of everything food related. When it came to our final, long-awaited day, Glynis helped us update our two-year-old menu to reflect seasonal food and their latest and greatest offerings, not to mention an incredible dessert table that everyone raved about! She gave us fantastic advice based on her industry experience, helped steer us towards things that would work well for our space and guests, and helped us finalize our choices without pushing us in a particular direction. We highly recommend working with this team!

great food and arrange the heimish decor. She also helped us find the best wedding photographer ever and a fantastic musician who not only played piano for the ceremony, but also entertained our guests at and after dinner. And she helped do it all within a very reasonable budget. No detail was too small, no request too silly for Glynis. She was there for us all the way. Glynis helped make our second wedding second to none.

d beverages. We provided the alcohol but they provided a bartender and ice. Every member of their team was kind and professional, from the booking, to the tasting, to the day itself. They say that the bride and groom don't have time to eat at their own wedding, but the Catering by Seasons team made sure we got a chance to eat and drink! They made us a little plate of appetizers so that we didn't have to completely miss out (since we were doing photos during cocktail hour), for example. The food itself was delicious. Our guests have a variety of dietary restrictions, and they were able to accommodate everyone. Everyone said how good the food was! And they baked the cake, so we didn't have to hire an outside bakery. It was gorgeous and really good--moist and delicate. Polly was my main point of contact and she was a joy to work with. I truly can't speak highly enough of Catering by Seasons. They are phenomenal. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning an event in this area!

erything on the day of. Guests raved about the food! Glynis made us feel special and taken care of throughout the event - making sure that we did not have to worry about anything.

ow delicious everything was! I definitely recommend catering by seasons for any parties. The appetizers, main course and desserts were all a hit!

our 200-person wedding, and then when we drastically scaled back to 20 people (thanks pandemic!). They stayed in touch with us, continued to send revised menus as the world kept changing, and most importantly executed perfectly on the day of! They were professional and we all felt very safe at the wedding because of the masks and face shields and extra protective barriers they suggested. And best of all, the food was absolutely delicious! Because of some last-minute cancellations (due to the pandemic), we had some left over food, which they boxed up so we could enjoy it throughout the following week!

cious at the event as at our tasting. And Glynis helped us with decor that was elegant and striking, creating the beautiful wedding we had envisioned within our budget and in our own backyard. We are looking forward to finding another opportunity to use Catering by Seasons.

with linens and table settings to match our vision, to watching it all come together on our wedding day. She was amazing! Glynis even kept a close eye on me during the cocktail hour so I wouldn’t be holding the bone remnants of a devoured lamb lollipop in all my photos (thank you!). Glynis was very kind and warm to my family both during the planning process and on the day of our wedding. Our wedding was the same day as the Nationals World Series parade and Seasons was able to accommodate a last minute change in plans for delivery which alleviated a great deal of stress for us. Glynis was flexible and accommodating to this change as well, which required her to wake up extremely early and stay close to our venue to make ensure everything ran smoothly and on time. My husband and I had the hardest time selecting menu items for our cocktail hour and reception because everything we tried at our tasting was incredible. The food we selected was AWESOME and our guests are still talking about it... many have requested the “recipe” for the sangria they served. Our cake was gorgeous, looked like a perfect replica of my inspiration photo, and was absolutely delicious. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of the experience and service we received from Seasons. The waitstaff at the reception were lovely.. professional, attentive, efficient, and friendly to our guests.

ng to work with us to get within our budget. I also really loved that they didn’t nickel and dime us throughout the process – after we wanted to try a few more hors d’oeuvres options, he happily let us come back for another tasting of the ones we requested without charging us an extra fee, like some other companies do. Day of, he and his staff handled the event flawlessly! Before the event, he was so helpful in providing layout suggestions based on his many years of experience, and that advice worked out perfectly! His team also did a great job flipping the room to set up the dinner tables between the ceremony and reception, and they were also super attentive to us throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed. Finally, the food was awesome! We got so many compliments about how good the food was! As we all know, sometimes wedding food can be dry or tasteless, but our food had no such issues! Everything was perfect and tasty! Thank you Alberto and team for helping us execute an excellent wedding!

wedding one year. Cocktail hour and dinner service ran smoothly, and the food was good. We were not as happy with Catering by Seasons’ subrental company, as the quote for rentals was higher than the original estimated quote after we chose our actual rentals, and we did not make significant upgrades in rentals. The quote did decrease when we submitted our final head count, which decreased the number of rentals needed. Additionally, the subrental company sent the wrong tablecloths for the reception, and despite Alberto’s best efforts, the correct ones did not get there before the reception. Luckily, we liked the tablecloths they sent, and none of our guests were the wiser! We would absolutely recommend working with Alberto and Catering by Seasons, but our advice is to (1) nail down more specifics on linens early, if you’re worried about cost, and (2) take a photo of and re-confirm all of the linens before the day of the wedding.

delightful as we'd hoped, and in particular they provided a truly enjoyable vegetarian dish for our guests. Alberto's team was on top of everything during the reception and we were quite satisfied with how everything went.

he food was DELICIOUS and that was one of the main things our guests talked about after the wedding! Thanks for everything!

cluded her ability to listen to every detail and request that we had and make them come true. Some of the requests were about the food some of the requests were related to drinks in the bar, and some of the requests had to do with the logistics of the affair. And on all three points she knocked it out of the park! Seasons was not the most pricy catering group we interviewed. There were more expensive and pretentious companies we spoke with before selecting Seasons. Misty remained open to feedback, answered our numerous questions, and worked so hard to ensure that the affair turned out absolutely wonderful. Numerous wedding guests mentioned that the food tasted absolutely delicious, presented beautifully, and was cooked perfectly and that they enjoyed it tremendously. When cooking for 100 people I think that's a great achievement to be able to say that there were nothing but good comments mentioned about the food. Misty went so far as to help design a unique menu that would please all of our guests....from the carnivores omnivores and vegans. I recommend Seasons to couples looking for that caterer who is responsive, who listens, who isn't pretentious, and who has the experience to deliver a wow event for the happy couple and their guests.

! I originally was interested in Catering by Seasons because as we planned our wedding, sustainability was very important to us and CBS has a kitchen run by alternate energy, composts food scraps, and strives in many ways to commit itself to green practices. As it turned out, in addition to focusing on sustainability, CBS also makes incredible food of the highest quality, provides incredibly professional, friendly and flexible service and truly helped to make sure that our wedding went smoothly and that our guests were happy and well fed - the food got totally rave reviews from our guests! Stefanie was a real pleasure to work with - she was responsive and patient with our many questions throughout the planning process and was a huge help on the day of our wedding as well. She did a great job of anticipating our needs, checking in to make sure that we were happy and generally ensuring that everything went perfectly with the event. She really went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable with the menu and that we didn’t have to sweat the details on the day of. Our wait captain, Oscar, was also instrumental in making sure that dinner and the cake cutting went flawlessly and was a pleasure to work with. Really the entire staff was friendly and professional and like I mentioned, the food was stellar - what more could you ask for? We highly recommend Catering by Seasons, and Stefanie in particular!

uently ended up making a lot of changes to the original menu. Stefanie was very patient with us and kept everything organized. She worked so hard to make things happen for us, even when we had some harder requests to fulfill. The food was AMAZING. All of our guests commented on how delicious everything was, from the appetizers all the way to the cake. They were also able to accommodate our vegetarian guests easily. The staff who worked the event were extremely friendly and polite to our guests, which made the experience all the better. They worked so well with all of our other vendors. We absolutely recommend working with Catering by Seasons.

my upcoming wedding. Our tasting was flawless and the food is absolutely fabulous. Although we ultimately went in a different direction for catering services based on a family offer we couldn't refuse, I would certainly recommend Glynis and Catering by Seasons to anyone looking for a wedding caterer. Trust me, do not pass this one over!

ng! Glynis took care of every detail. She was great at helping to select the perfect menu that was both delicious and beautifully displayed. We received many compliments from our guest on how wonderful the food and the service were. Glynis and her staff were exceptional in their professionalism and were both wonderful and fun to work with.

ing my guests couldn't stop raving. Glynis also went the extra mile to make sure I got my outdoor ceremony on a day of questionable weather, the sun came out just for us... and I am sure Glynis made it happen. I can't recommend Catering by Seasons enough. Thank you for your part in our wedding.
