Team: The people at Copper Kitchen are wonderful. Jessica was a wonderful event designer and walked us through the entire process. She was very communicative ...
and receptive to our ideas, wants and needs. She was not too pushy or trying to upsell us. We didn’t want soup/salad or signature cocktails and it was fine.
The servers on the wedding day were attentive and on top of everything, as was Jessica!
Food: Our tasting was wonderful. The food was excellent, with a great explanation. I was really impressed with the details that went into the tasting.
That being said, I was not as impressed with the food on the wedding day itself. Hot appetizers were served to me cold (I did eat them right away- unless chicken on a biscuit is supposed to be cold?). Despite this, our guests really enjoyed the apps.
Additionally, several guests mentioned to me later on that their beef entree was too tough to cut with the knife provided and that they did not have a suitable steak knife. Our brussel sprouts were kind of…too big? The stems were left on making them quite chewy (cool if that’s your thing but it was not ours and not like the tasting).
Other than those points, the food was good. The charcuterie table was yummy, the drinks and bar were smooth and I did not hear any issues with the chicken and potatoes. Cake was delicious and beautifully designed. Macarons for favors were tasty.
Execution: Tables looked great! Everything was as requested. There was some kind of snafu with not enough chairs at a table- unsure if this was an issue with our seating chart or on CK’s end- despite this, they brought out extra chairs and place settings to rectify the issue. Props to them for that!
Overall: It was a pleasant experience to work with Copper Kitchen. It came out to be $230+ per person including tax and tip. I think this is a very high price but I feel the level of service (not the food) made it worth it.
Copper Kitchen was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding caterer at the Baltimore Museum of Art. From the very first tasting to the last plate served, they exceeded every expectatio...
n we had.
The food was unforgettable. Our guests are still raving about the passed hors d’oeuvres—especially the chicken & waffles, beef Wellington bites, sweet potato tacos, and Maryland crab cakes. Dinner was just as impressive, with the chimichurri steaks and lemon thyme chicken as clear standouts. Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and perfectly timed.
What really set Copper Kitchen apart, though, was their execution. They went above and beyond to make sure food came out quickly and seamlessly—there wasn’t a single moment of delay the entire night. The service was precise, professional, and warm.
We also have to give a special shoutout to Katherine McDonough, who ran the whole show with absolute mastery. She was organized, thoughtful, and truly cared about making the night perfect. Because of her and the entire Copper Kitchen team, we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
We could not have asked for anything more. If you want incredible food and flawless service, Copper Kitchen is the team you want beside you.
Jessica and her team at Copper Kitchen were absolutely incredible! As a bride with celiac and having lots of guests with various dietary needs their menu was amazingly diverse with...
tons of options! I was able to make my entire menu gluten free so I could enjoy everything and all of the guests absolutely loved the food. The cocktails were perfect for fall and the team was very flexible, responsive, and thought of every little detail for a perfect night :) Would highly recommend!
Copper Kitchen was everything we could have hoped for and more with how they handled our wedding at the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House. From the first moment we reached out to them ...
to our wedding day, they went above and beyond anything we could’ve expected from a caterer. Tawney was incredibly helpful during the entire process, making sure there was nothing we missed and providing a quick response to any and every question we had. Not only was the service fantastic, but the food was incredible too. Everything was delicious and everything was plated and displayed beautifully. We are still getting compliments about how good the food was from our guests. I seriously can’t recommend Copper Kitchen enough.
Every single wedding guest raved about the food at the wedding! Our food was incredible. From the mini-donut burgers to the crab cakes and braised beef, they are incredible chefs! ...
I would highly recommend this vendor! Absolutely delicious food!
Highly recommend Copper Kitchen. I've never heard so many compliments about wedding food! Working with Copper Kitchen was easy - they were responsive, helpful, and delivered qualit...
y service, food, and drink. We had a plated dinner with cupcakes for dessert at our wedding - everything was tasty, hot, with generous portions. Servers were professional and helpful. While a bit expensive, I feel that it was worth the cost as the value in every area was there. I would recommend Copper Kitchen for your event!
We cannot thank Tawney and her team enough for doing our wedding on 3/16/2024. Each and everyone of the staff was amazing, friendly, and professional to each and everyone of our gu...
ests. The food was incredible, drinks were amazing, and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Specifically, Tawney absolutely made our day...she kept us calm, on time, and made us feel so loved and supported. We will look back on this day and she is the one who will forever stand out in our minds as the person who absolutely made this day go smoothy. Thank you so much to Cooper Kitchen!!!!!
We LOVED Copper Kitchen – and so did all of the guests at our wedding! We knew we were choosing CK after we tasted chicken they had prepared (among other delicious things) at a tas...
ting: it was SO incredibly moist and flavorful, which everyone knows can be tough to achieve with that protein. We also just loved all of the fun and interesting offerings that they had – not typical boring “wedding food” by any means – which was exciting to us. We worked with Tawney as our event specialist and she was an absolute gem: super communicative, organized, kind and just really on the ball. We were actually originally matched with a different specialist who ended up leaving the company for a new job on his native West Coast, and Tawney and CK made that transition super easy for us, which was appreciated. We went with stations for our event, and we appreciated that CK had experience in that as well as the traditional plated style. We ended up going with one of their traditional stations (a taco station, using choices we made from the options for sides, proteins, etc that CK offered) then also fused options from two other stations together into our own “custom” grill/barbecue type of station. We loved that they were willing to be flexible on this so that we could make selections that were the best fit for us and our guests! Everyone raved about the food and drinks at our wedding: what CK provided was incredibly delicious, inventive, local, and *fun*, prepared beautifully and with impeccable, warm service. We are so grateful!
Copper Kitchen was one of the recommended vendors with our venue, and I couldn't have been happier. They were very easy to work with and the food was delicious! All of our guests w...
ere a part of the "clean plate club" at our wedding. This is a great vendor for those who need tasty Vegan/Vegetarian options that aren't the typical "steamed veggies"--my vegan family felt seen and LOVED the Vegan Pot Pie main dish.
Copper Kitchen was the HIT of our wedding! The food was next level, with menu options that fit all dietary needs and restrictions. The staff was highly communicative and were alway...
s free for advice and direction. The bar staff and servers made our New Years celebration spectacular and even joined us on the dance floor to ring in 2023- I am still getting texts about how amazing and warm they were to our guests. Stephanie, the planner for our account, was an angel during the planning process and a true boss the day of; we had no stress and no worries the day of as it was all taken care of and Steph kept everything in order perfectly!
On top of food, beverage, and staffing- Copper Kitchen provides rentals, china, flatware, and glassware. When I tell you that this was a huge load taken off of us, I mean it. They schedule and appointment for you and your planner to run through all available options, dressing tables so you can have photos and videos, assist with matching to aesthetic and table décor, and they ensure your look is seamless across the venue.
I recommend Copper Kitchen to any and all brides in the Maryland, DC, and Virginia area because they made all the difference in our big day! The entire organization is professional, caring, kind, and creative.
Copper Kitchen was absolutely wonderful, I couldn’t have been more happy on our special day. Lexi was great throughout our entire booking process up until day of, very commutative ...
and made sure it was exactly what we wanted. I booked this vendor with it taking up a huge chunk of my budget and it was so worth it. Every day of went so smoothly and the food was absolutely delicious (we got so many compliments), it was even better than on tasting day. The servers/cooks were all so sweet and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Bridal party, parents, and us as bride and groom were very tended to and there were multiple servers who would come up to see if we needed a drink or anything for that matter! I cannot thank Lexi enough either she went above and beyond (even when my bridesmaids were at cocktail hour on another side of the property…she came down to help the photographer and throw my veil). This place made my day! I could literally write forever.
Overall, the food and experience I had wih Copper Kitchen was excellent. Stephanie was super responsive and flexible. She went above and beyond to make sure we had all we wanted. I...
absolutely adore her. My guests were really happy with the food and there was a ton to choose from. They also made the world's best charcuterie boards. I loved that the alcohol was included in our price and we could choose from different levels and create signature drinks with our own names.
Planning with Copper kitchen was a breeze, but the execution wasn't perfect. Their bartenders were serving some guests before the ceremony, the dinner took a really long time to get served to everyone, and my husband didn't get the entire meal. We had salmon and fillet and he only got the fillet. There was supposed to be signature drinks immediately at the beginning of the cocktail service, but they didn't have them ready so most people didn't have them and still waited a long time at the bar. In addition, I had specialized napkins made for the cocktail hour. It wasn't until I asked a bartender where they were that they put them out and put the white napkins away. I didn't buy that many and I still have some left over because they really weren't handing them out. In addition, my husband and I were without drinks a lot. Even when we would go to the bar, the bartenders would serve other people first and not recognize us as the bride and groom (even though I was wearing a long white gown). I recognize that most of those things are little, so I would choose Copper Kitchen again. I just would have appreciated those things to be in place.
I'm still in awe about how amazing my wedding was, and I'm so glad we went with Copper Kitchen as our caterer. All our guests were raving about the food. It was SO good. Leading...
up to the wedding, Ashley was great to work with, answering all our questions and quick to respond. She also helped us with the additional rentals needed (flatware, table clothes, etc). Most important to me, Copper Kitchen was able to handle ALL our guests dietary restrictions. We had a large amount of vegetarians, a handful of vegans, a couple of guests who keep Kosher, and a couple guests who are gluten free, and they were able to accommodate everyone. Extra shout-out for the veggie meals- I had the vegan eggplant "parm" and it was AMAZING. Also, the desserts were amazing, and, even though I'm not a cake person, the carrot cake with cream cheese frosting blew me away! It was SO good I'm eating the leftovers now writing this review. They also had someone "assigned" to me and my husband who literally attended to our every need (she made sure we were able to eat all our cocktail hour food, made sure we stayed hydrated, and replenished all our drinks- I literally had bottomless champagne), which was so nice. Because of covid (thanks omicron), we had some last minute cancelations, and the kitchen was able to box up the extra meals for us to take home (also the food reheated well!). They were one of my venue's two exclusive caterers, so that took even more stress off me as they so seamless work with the venue. But even if your venue isn't contracted with them, they really know what they are doing! You seriously can't go wrong with them.
Do yourself a favor and select copper kitchen as your caterer. I know I sound biased since they were my wedding caterer, but I’ve been so many many weddings in the Baltimore area a...
nd have never heard so many resounding praises amongst guests… and that’s for everything - cocktail hour, salads, dinner, desserts, drinks. Even my hardest to please invitees loved the all of the food! And all of that would be worth 5 stars alone but then you add in the service….
Tawney is the most awesome person to work with. She helped with planning, coordinating, designing (girl has awesome taste), and was my anchor the day of. You can tell from the second you meet her that she’s been in the business a long time, and has coordinated tons of weddings. Confidence surrounds her and it will make you feel assured, while at the same time her excitement and attention to detail will make you realize that she cares just as much as you do about making your day perfect. This vibe extends to every member of the CK team. They’re all absolutely WONDERFUL.
I can’t think of one negative thing to say. I wouldn’t change a thing about what Tawney and the CK team did for me on my wedding day!
WOW. We had such an amazing experience with Copper Kitchen and are so glad they were our caterer! The food tasted amazing and all of our guests were raving about how delicious it w...
as. We had the short rib at our tasting and it was one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted and I couldn’t wait to eat it again at our wedding. We have attended many weddings where the guests show up and there is a long line for the bar or we have had to wait a long time for the food to be ready. This was not the case with Copper Kitchen. Everything was ready and our guests were able to easily get food and drinks as soon as they showed up to the venue. On top of that, there was a server assigned specifically to my husband and me to make sure we got enough food and drink throughout the evening. We felt like royalty! Copper Kitchen also provided a day-of-coordinator to work with us on planning and make sure everything runs smoothly. Lexie was so wonderful, so responsive, and friendly and very detail-oriented and everything about our day was a success because of her. We highly recommend Copper Kitchen and we had such a great experience with them!
The food from Copper Kitchen was absolutely amazing. All of our guests raved about everything from the many appetizers, to the delicious dinner, to the amazing dessert and cake. In...
addition to being delicious, the food was beautifully plated, and the venue looked perfect. Tawny was so extremely helpful and accommodating. An extra nice touch was that the Bride and Groom got a plate of appetizers to eat together at the beginning of the cocktail hour to make sure that we were fed and got to try them! We absolutely loved working with Tawny and everyone at Copper Kitchen and highly recommend them!
Seriously the best wedding food ever. We have had every guest make sure to tell us just how amazing the food was and how it was the best wedding food they have ever had. The servic...
e they provide is unbeatable. We worked with them over the course of 2.5 years (yay pandemic weddings) and when we finally were able to have our day it was truly the most amazing time. I cant recommend them enough if you wish to truly have the best wedding food and just the best wedding.
Food, Service, Drinks, and every fine detail were elevated beyond our highest expectations by Copper Kitchen, Tawney, and her team. From the planning, personalized food tasting, an...
d execution of the little details that made all the difference, we could not have made a better choice! The food is guaranteed to be talked about for years to come and they made the whole process so much fun from start to finish! Thank you again!

make sure everything ran smoothly and stayed on the time line throughout the evening. She was easy to work with and gave us great ideas for our event. Our guests gave us so many compliments about how good the food was. As the bride and groom we even got steaming hot plates of our delicious food during dinner!! Our food was boxed so that we could enjoy it even more the day after the wedding. Our taco bar and ice cream bar were a big hit! The staff was very professional throughout the evening and all staff wore masks which helped make our guests feel more comfortable. We definitely recommend CK for your event!

I would highly recommend using them for weddings and other events!!

After having to change our wedding date three times... changing venues.... changing just about EVERYTHING- Copper Kitchen was the one constant through our entire wedding planning e...
xperience. The entire staff worked together flawlessly to execute a perfect day. Our guests raved about the cocktail hour (don't skip the donut burgers!!) and loved our entrees too. The bartenders hustled all night long and guests are still talking about how nice they were. We had a slight issue which was recognized the next morning, however I felt CK handled the situation correctly and all was resolved.
Tawney, our coordinator, went ABOVE and beyond. She completely understood our over all vision and priorities for our wedding day. She helped to set up our personals, met with us when we had to change linens, and was extremely responsive. I truly trusted her to make decisions on my behalf and help keep me focused on my guests that evening. Without her, I am sure I would have needed to put out some fires- but thanks to Tawney I didn't even smell the smoke.
Where do I even begin?! Not only was the food DELICIOUS (ps, my guests are STILL talking about it over a week later), but the team was so thoughtful and attentive. I will never fo...
rget it when the manager came up to me during the reception and told me that she's rescuing me to make SURE I got some food in my belly. The food was amazing, the decor was STUNNING and the entire Copper Kitchen team was so accommodating to our quirky requests which included a custom Almond Joy Cake and a Pumpkin Spice Martini. If I could, I'd relive the night JUST to eat more of that amazing vegetarian shepherds pie.

ity throughout our planning process and she did a phenomenal job ensuring that everything was taken care of, timelines were precise and that the food delivered. Unfortunately because of COVID we weren’t able to have the charcuterie and crudité display as originally planned, but we were able to add more passed hors d’oeuvres and they were delicious. The service in terms of bartenders, kitchen staff, and servers was also out of this world and everyone was so friendly.
We could not recommend Copper Kitchen enough!
Professional, easy to work with, food was BEYOND DELICIOUS (our guests are still raving), decorations were such a great touch and everything looked beautiful, they delivered everyt...
hing we wanted and with such ease and no issues at all it almost felt unreal. Felicity is a great catering manager, extremely knowledgeable in the field and handled our wedding party's every move to the point that no one had to think about a thing, which is such a relief on such a stressful day! Highly recommend this team!

he perfect choice. Jen was great at guiding us through the process of menu selection to the full execution of our vision. And we cannot fail to mention Michelle, our day-of personal Copper Kitchen attendant for lack of a better word. She literally found us, wherever we were, through out the evening to make sure that we had what we needed. If she spotted us with empty hands, she quickly came to fill them with a cocktail. The entire Copper Kitchen experience was extraordinary and surprisingly worth every penny.

pacing in our venue (Mt. Washington Dye House) as well as drink and food options for the season/ style of the event!! The food was absolutely incredible - we got so many guest compliments on the hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and the signature drinks!! To die for!! I'll also say that the styling looked incredible and the staff was super sweet and helpful!! Cannot recommend Copper Kitchen enough!!
Other than deciding to marry my husband, hiring Copper Kitchen was the best decision I made during the whole wedding planning process. We absolutely loved working with Amanda and T...
awney from the beginning. The menu felt very personalized to us, and they were so helpful in accommodating our budget. We were planning our wedding long distance, but since Copper Kitchen had worked at our venue before, they were invaluable in planning all of the details. The food was incredible, and we got so many comments from our guests about how much they loved it. The service was fabulous and the presentation was stunning. I can't say enough about Copper Kitchen - they made the planning stress-free and the reception perfect!
Copper Kitchen has a wonderful staff and makes some incredible food. Our guests continue to tell us that the food they had at our wedding was the best they've ever had! One of the ...
biggest hits was the brisket! What drove us to choose Copper Kitchen in the first place was the fact that they really listened to our vision and let us drive our own event (rather than some places that try to tell you what you should or should not do) and they were extremely creative on what we could do. We had the choice of two caterers and really liked the fact that catering is what they do, it's not just an extension of a restaurant. Biggest bummer is there aren't as many opportunities to eat their food!
After our tasting, we were extremely excited (as was my family that got leftovers) because it was so good. On the day of, our guests were thrilled with everything! While a couple things didn't go as planned for us personally, they have worked to make it up to us which speaks to their integrity as a business. We appreciate the fact that they are so invested in making sure that everyone walks away from their experience with them as raving fans!
Our experience with Copper Kitchen was one we will never forget. From our first meeting, to the food tasting, through the end of our wedding, we were blown away by the love, care a...
nd dedication that these wonderful people put in to create an amazing experience. The team was so professional and an absolute delight to work with. They showed such attention to detail and beautifully accommodated our specific menu requests. Whatever questions we had were met with detailed answers and excellent suggestions.
The attention we received at our wedding was second to none. We never looked for or needed a thing; someone was always there, whether it was getting a new drink, bringing hors d’ouvres to the bridal suite or making up a dessert plate for our table.
Everything came together to create such a beautiful experience our wedding night. What really stuck out, after the food, drinks, decorations and details, was how kind everyone was. The servers met our guests with warm smiles. They were prompt and courteous and sincere. The whole team was.
We are so happy we chose Copper Kitchen for our wedding.
My husband and I hired Copper Kitchen to cater our wedding at the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House in August 2018. We were absolutely thrilled with this choice! From the very beginnin...
g, Jen, our catering manager, was lovely to work with and answers all of our questions with timeliness and professionalism. From our first email inquiry way back in January, to all the phone calls/emails over the spring, to the amazingly memorable tasting (I'll dream about that risotto and lambchetta for my whole life!), to the actual wedding day, we couldn't have asked for a more amazing (and tasty!) day.
From the very beginning of our wedding planning, it was really important to my spouse and I to have top-notch local food at our wedding. We don't splurge on much in our lives, but we do value a good meal and drink -- so this was non-negotiable on our big day. Copper Kitchen totally knocked it out of the park and our guests literally can't stop talking about it (especially all the freshly made breads!).
We had two speciality drinks and the craft beverage package which was perfect. For our appetizers we chose the empanadas, the traditional spring rolls and the crab salad chips. We also had a carving station with beef, lamb and fresh rolls and sauces, which was a huge hit! For dinner we had the burrata salad, a choice of the cuban chicken/pink peppercorn salmon/veggie pot pie, smashed potatoes and green beens. For dessert we chose hazelnut brownies, cheesecake bars and peach crumble bars. Everything was excellent!
Really, I'm so sad you guys don't have a restaurant -- we would totally be regulars!
We also used Copper Kitchen for all of our linens, table ware and silverware. As you can see, the table setting was lovely!
We are pretty darn pleased with our big day with Copper Kitchen :)
Food was phenomenal. Presentation is gorgeous and all the servers were very professional. People were raving about every course from cocktail hour to late night food. They are pric...
ey but it's worth it if you're a foodie and want to highlight that at your wedding like we did.
I cannot say enough about Copper Kitchen. The staff were all super accommodating and the food was fantastic! It was exactly what we were looking for. So many options for our guests...
to choose from and everyone kept complimenting us throughout the night of how good the food was. We also chose to go with a small ceremonial cake since we decided to have a dessert bar too. The staff made our plates for us so we didn't have to go through the buffet line, they kept our drinks full, kept asking if we needed anything, and made our tables look beautiful with the linens and our centerpieces. They even let me drop off all our ceremony and reception extras (photo booth stuff, centerpieces, etc), and they kept it in their own house until the wedding day! We were so happy we went with them.
