Sus and her team were excellent from start to finish. Their decorations for our Cinco de Mayo party were perfect. The staff were very professional and our guests were all impressed with the the touch of 'class' they added to our party. I was most impressed with how the staff kept our home clean and neat throughout the 4 hour affair and the clean-up was spotless. The food? The food was delicious and beautifully prepared, but we expected that from Sus. :-)We will definitely use them again! More...

Impeccable professionalism, food and service!  We have found our Go-To caterer for all of our events now.  Chef Sus was amazing to work with and her team was fantastic.  They made my grandfather's surprise birthday party better than I could ask for.  We are still hearing from guests about how good the food was!  Their service team was extremely helpful and I never had to ask for anything, they were on top of it all.  Thank you so much!

If you want your wedding day to be super special, you should hire Sus at Maison Culinaire to cater it. She is very professional and detail oriented. Sus responds quickly to email and phone calls and is very attentive to your requests but also has great suggestions. We were getting married in three weeks and didn't have a catering company. God brought her into our path one day when we went to see the venue where we were having our reception. Not only that she catered our reception with delicious food of our choice, but also her staff put up and took down all of our decorations. Sus even had one of her staff members drive all the way from VA to MD just to get a piece of decoration for the cake. By the way, she made the most beautiful and delicious cake and everyone complimented it. As she requested, we sent her a picture of a wedding cake that we liked and she perfectly reproduced it. To our delight, she even added some fresh flowers, which made it look even more beautiful. Sue also took care of the flower centerpieces for us. Also, she had her staff move benches away from a gazebo so that we could take pictures there. Everything was beyond our expectations. It really helped having a captain (her name was Laura), to keep things on schedule. Maison Culinaire made us our day worry free and we were overjoyed with the way everything turned out. We truly can't thank her and her staff enough for all of their hard work! More...

Sus and her team are extremely professional and competent. From our first meeting with Sus, we knew that Maison Culinaire would be the right choice for our wedding. Sus worked very close with me to map out the floor plan, go over any/all back up plans, and of course providing stellar food and service to all of our guests. She was very flexible with meeting times and was also very responsive to emails as well as calls. My husband and I were very happy with how our day turned out, and I would certainly recommend Sus to anyone looking for a caterer. More...

Sus and her team were wonderful. The food was fantastic! We actually used Sus for all elements of our wedding: tent, chairs, tables, food, etc. We just had to find our own DJ. Great experience working with one person for all elements. The staff was amazing! They waited on my guests perfectly but they were also so attentive to me (the bride). Great experience. highly recommend. More...

I can't say enough good things about Sus and her amazing team. She put on an amazing food display for over a hundred students at the George Mason School of Business. She is attentive, thorough, professional, and communicative. Her generosity made our event possible, and for that I am so appreciative. If you are planning any kind of large event, be it a corporate event, recruiting, a conference, or a wedding, you cannot go wrong with Maison Culinaire! Thank you so much Sus! More...

Maison Culinaire and Sus were fantastic for my wedding last year! Sus was super helpful in planning everything. And the big day? Her staff was awesome! Guests came up to me and said how great the staff was. The food was great and Sus helped us in creating the menu. The setup was just right for the space and with their experience at the Middleburg Community Center, they knew what would work best. Thanks so much Sus and Maison Culinaire!!! More...

I used Maison Culinaire both at work and home for all types of events. The best part is that Sus is involved in every aspect of making sure that customer service is the best and the quality of the food is outstanding, fresh and appealing. On one of our more important occasions, when we didn't use invitations that year, 22 extra "guests" showed up, so our catering was short - but Sus and her assistant took care of everything and managed to save the day and event. Their food ranges from typical fare to Native American cuisine.  I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs. Oh - and don't forget the wonderful holiday meals they prepare! No need to go out - just call them. More...

I was asked to arrange meals for a group of environmentalists who specifically wanted thoughtfully sourced ingredients.  I searched and found good feedback for Maison Culinaire and I fully agree with what I read.  We arranged for both a lunch and a cocktail hour and the food prepared by Sus and her team was cleverly prepared and absolutely delicious, along with being organic/cruelty free/locally sourced.  I would recommend them to anyone, whether for business or personal gatherings.

We were searching all over for a caterer that could do Asian fusion cuisine and Sus was exactly what we were looking for. She was responsive, organized, professional and such a wonderful person to talk to . She knew exactly what we had in mind and was there for us the whole way. With other vendors it was all about money, but with Sus - making the wedding day the best for us was her goal. She's a really good chef and is willing to work with you, I definitely recommend Sus and her team! More...

Maison Culinaire did a wonderful job! Our guests were very impressed with the variety of international cuisine beautifully presented. Among our quests were vegetarians and some have food related allergies. But Sus created dishes to meet all our needs!

I cannot begin to list all of the wonderful things there are to say about Sus and her team. From the minute we started talking she made me feel as though I was her only client. She was always available to answer all of my questions, and I had many, with the utpmost professioanlism. Sus has years of culinary experience in several cuisines. My guests raved about food from the amazing lemon grass skewers during the cocktail reception to the filet with burgundy demi glaze, and the topper was the most delicious wedding cake I've ever tasted. Please, please have her make her signature vanilla cake with fresh fruit and cream filling. It was so decadent and moist my husband and I couldn't wait a year to eat the top. It was gone the next day. When you sign on with Maison you will get a 5 star reception at unbeatable prices. Sus worked within my budget and helped us have a flawless wedding, despite the tornado that day, yes there was a tornado which arrived right before our scheduled and arranged outdoor ceremony. We had to move the ceremony under the tent which was the intended space for the cocktail reception. Sus and her crew worked around this problem and helped move chairs and tables right before the ceremony was sety to begin so that we could still have a lovely ceremony and cocktail reception under the tent. You are going to love Sus! Congratuations! Tracy and Tom, Washington D.C. More...

This is the second time that I have used Maison Culinaire. The first time was in September of last year when MC catered a surprise 60th birthday party that I directed. That experience caused me to recommend MC to my son and his fiance when they were planning their wedding. They had already gotten a couple of proposals from other caterers when they contacted MC. They were impressed with the menu and details, and we had a tasting. They were so impressed that they did not have tasting with any other caterers, and they engaged MC's services.
We wanted food that people would like that would serve a crowd with diverse tastes. The food was excellent. Many of the guests have complimented on the food that was served. In addition to being tasty, the presentation was excellent.
In addition the service was excellent. It was seamless, and requests were efficiently accomodated.
Sus worked within our budget, and what we got was a tremendous value for the price that we paid. I would recommend MC, and I have already done so.

Sus and her team were a pleasure to work with. She always answered my calls right away and made me feel like I was her only client. I received so many complements on the appetizers, dinner and the cake. Sus is very expereinced and educated in the culinary arts and she is willing to prepare just about anything for you, and at unbeatable prices. I highly recommend the cake she made me. It was dark choclate and vanilla layers with fresh whipped cream filling folded into fresh friut and the whole thing was covered with fresh buttercream icing. It was out of this world!

My ceremony and cocktail hour were supposed to be outside until a storm came creeping in right beforehand. Sus and her team worked around it by moving the tables at the last minute and ensuring that I still had lovely reception, despite the non-stop rain. I cannot thank Sus enough for all of her efforts in helping me make my day so special.

I could not say enough about Sus and her staff. When I first reached to her she told that she could make a fabulous menu with any budget. The reason initially picked her was because she did not roll the gratuity into the cost automatically. I am so glad we chose them as our caterer because everyone that attended our wedding said it was the best wedding food they have ever had! She also provided the cake, beer, wine and chocolates after the cake was served. Her staff was extremely hospitable- at one point my mom had to come inside with my baby niece during the cocktail hour because the baby was fussy and one of her staff members brought appetizers and something to drink for my mom. Sus is a wonderful person- when we tasted the food we had minor tweaks to some of the dishes and she executed everything according to our instructions precisely. The wedding cake was to die for. At the end of the night they packed up the rest of the food and gave it to our families which I think was nice touch because the day after the wedding no one wants to cook. If there is any question regarding Maison Culinaire I would be more than ecstatic to vouch for them! They made my wedding truly memorable! More...
