We hired Jamie, Gloria and the team for our Christmas party, and they were phenomenal! The food was absolutely delicious and easily the highlight of the evening. We’ve received non-stop compliments from our guests on the quality of the menu. A special shout-out to our bartender, who was exceptional. He handled the service with total professionalism and a great attitude, making sure everyone was well taken care of. The entire experience was seamless, and we’ve already recommended them to several friends. We would be thrilled to work with them again! More...

What a gem! So glad I found them. Not only were the staff friendly but they were excellent with recommending food options. Their prices were reasonable, the food was delicious, the display was on point, they arrived on time, they were so accommodating, and they met our needs and limited budget. The cherry on top - they blessed us with more than we ordered. Who does that? Loved working with Gloria and Jamie (owner). Will definitely use them again. More...

I highly recommend DMV Catering. We hired them for my mom’s 80th birthday party of 65 guests. Jamie was easy to communicate with and they helped me create a buffet meal that met my mom’s specific food preferences that also fit our budget. On the day of the event, they sent extra staff to help set up when they saw there was a beltway accident that would delay their arrival. Jamie also brought some complimentary flowers and other decorations to help make the buffet line beautiful. We received many compliments from guests about how delicious the food was. It really was very good food. Noelle and the other staff were incredibly efficient at setting up and taking down. During the whole process, I felt in good hands and that they really cared about helping make the event special. More...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Service and Delicious Food! I recently worked with DMV Caterer for my military reunion at American Legion Post 24 in Alexandria VA, and they were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Ashley Ha and her team were terrific !!!!! Throughout the planning process, they were professional, friendly, and incredibly flexible—helping me design a great menu while keeping things affordable for our attendees. On the day of the event, everything went perfectly. The setup was seamless, the service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious :) I’ll definitely be using DMV Caterer again for future events. If you’re planning any kind of gathering, I highly recommend them—you won’t regret it! More...

Events by DMV did the decor for my surprise proposal, and they made the moment magical! Honorary mention to Jamie for making it happen, she was awesome! I was proposed to at "Top of the Town", which was such a beautiful location. A hidden gem for sure. The sales coordinator Suzanne was so sweet, and kept me distracted because I had no idea that the surprise proposal was for me lol. More...

I just had a marvelous experience with Events by DMV Cater. I’d been planning my wedding reception since July 25’ and Gloria has been nothing but helpful in assisting us with food options for our party. We ordered this: Mini Caprese Skewers Mini BBQ Meatballs Truffle Mac and Cheese bites Veggie kabob bites Chicken Skewers Mini beef sliders Cauliflower Curry Crostinis EVERYTHING, and I mean everything was delicious. Our set up person was Ashley and she was professional and punctual. I will absolutely use them again. Once I get photos back from the photographer I’ll post them. Thank you again for a beautiful presentation and proactive communication throughout this process, you made our special day that more wonderful. More...

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! More...

DMV Cater made my Dad’s Celebration of Life at Top of the Town a true celebration. The food was delicious, the servers and bartenders attentive and Jamie held my hand throughout the process. I was very happy that Suzanne at Top of the Town recommended DMV. Both Suzanne and Jamie were great!! It’s hard to know how much time is needed for a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery so we arrived at Top of the Town early. Jamie handled our early arrival with grace and understanding. More...

I highly recommend DMV Cater and wish I could give them more stars! I chose DMV Cater to cater my father’s celebration of life for 75 people at the Top of the Town in Arlington, following his burial at Arlington National Cemetery. Jamie Choi and her team rose to the occasion providing an exceptional culinary experience and professional service that honored my father’s legacy with dignity and warmth. The reception was early evening, and I selected a variety of heavy appetizers, that included gluten free options, with an open bar. The food was fresh, flavorful and elegantly presented, the bar was tastefully set up with timely service to everyone and the staff was professional and treated every guest with kindness and respect. Guests are still talking about the food, the elegant presentation of the room, including our family pictures and my father’s military medals that DMV set up, and how professional and thoughtful the entire service team was throughout the evening. Jamie went above and beyond to help me plan every detail of the event and to stay within my budget. She was not only professional and incredibly organized, but she also showed true compassion and understanding for how difficult this was for me and my family. She coordinated directly with the Top of the Town on prep, setup and clean up and was flexible to changes in the service schedule to ensure every detail was taken care of and that things ran smoothly on the day of his burial, allowing me to fully focus on being with family and guests. Because of DMV’s flawless execution of the event and seamless coordination with the Top of the Town staff, I and my family were able to honor my father in a thoughtful and memorable way. Thank you DMV Cater for everything! More...

As student representatives for our graduate program, we had the privilege of working with DMV Cater to bring our Winter Ball—our biggest event of the year—to life. From the very beginning, their team exceeded every expectation, leaving us both amazed and deeply grateful for their dedication and talent. DMV Cater anticipated our every need, including the inevitable last-minute and day-of adjustments, with seamless grace and professionalism. Their staff was not only communicative and accommodating but also remarkably creative. They crafted a stunning presentation that perfectly captured the festive spirit of the evening while working tirelessly to ensure every detail was impeccable. Beyond this, they did so all within our tight budget. As a graduate program, we strive to keep events like this accessible to students. DMV Cater went above and beyond to help us achieve that. Their thoughtful extras and commitment to excellence made the evening feel truly extraordinary. At the start of the planning process, Jamie, one of their leads, told us her goal was to wow us. Not only did she and her team accomplish that, but they also left us in awe of their generosity and artistry. DMV Cater transformed our vision of the ball into a reality that was more magical than we could have imagined, and for that, we are profoundly thankful. More...
