    Kind, efficent, delicious

    The catering for my wedding was PERFECT. The food was exactly what we wanted and it was DELICIOUS. The service was OUTSTANDING, several of my guests commented on how kind and professional the staff were. They really went above and beyond to make everything go smoothly. I had a backyard wedding of 50 guests and my best friend was doing all the day of organizing, so no wedding planner/organizer, but the communication was so good and the staff so efficient that there was no stress. Highly highly highly recommend for anyone getting married or hosting an event in the Richmond area.

    Fantastic Experience!

    Autumn's Catering and Cafe did such a fantastic job in catering my wedding! They were super sensitive to people's allergies and the food was delicious! They communicated very well during the planning process. They were able to make plates for my husband and I to ensure that we got to eat. I definitely would reccomend them!

    Autumn's Custom Catering and Cafe's reply:

    Thank you Kirsten for letting us be a part of your big day! We're happy we could contribute to making your wedding a success. The positive feedback about the food is fantastic!

    Rehearsal Dinner

    I can't say enough great things about the dinner that ACC created for my son's rehearsal dinner and the desserts they provided for the welcome party. Our guests were raving about the food. Claudine and her staff were professional, easy to work with and always had time for my questions. I highly recommend Autumn's Catering & Cafe.

    Autumn's Custom Catering and Cafe's reply:

    Thanks so much for the review! It truly makes our day to know that everyone enjoyed the food! We had a blast serving and we hope you'll consider us for future events!

    Thrilled with the food & service!!

    We were planning a wedding at a vineyard in Nelson County, VA but live in Raleigh, NC. Not being from the area we didn’t have anyone to ask for recommendations. When searching online, we found that most options in the area were either BBQ (too informal for what we were looking for) or French gourmet (too formal for what we wanted.) We found Autumn’s Custom Catering on the wedding planning website, Zola, and then did some research on them. The menu choices were just what we were looking for, and reasonably priced. We reached out to Claudine, the owner and I’m so thankful they were available for our wedding day, 10/29/2022. Even though they’re based in Richmond, they were willing to make the drive to our venue (for a very reasonable price). The food was AMAZING. We chose ham, lasagna, and chicken marsala, along with veggies. Everything was served family style, and the servers who helped were all so wonderful and attentive. Since the meal came with a variety of cupcakes, we opted to have just a small wedding cake made by a friend to cut, and served the guests the cupcakes. They were so delicious! My mother’s favorite cake is carrot cake, but she is *very* particular about her carrot cake. Most are simply spice cake with some carrot flakes in it. My mom loved the carrot cake cupcakes. And the chicken was so tender, you didn’t need a knife to cut it. Claudine and her servers got all the centerpieces set out for us as well as the table settings. Everything was just perfect. They also packed up all the leftovers and labeled them so we could take them home. She even included a lovely goodie bag just for my husband and I to take back to our hotel. I highly recommend Claudine and Autumn’s Custom Catering.

    Autumn's Custom Catering and Cafe's reply:

    Taryn, Thank you so much for your kind words and for including us in your very special day. The love and joy shared amongst your family and friends was so heartfelt and we are so glad to have been a part of making your vision come to life. Please let us know if you need anything in the future. All the best!

    Amazing food and professional service

    Autumns Custom Catering did not disappoint! From their delicious food to their over the top amazing service we really couldn't have asked for more. They kept the appetizers moving and even made sure to come to my husband and I during pictures to make sure we were eating, we got the Jerk Chicken, the Pasta salad and the Crab balls and they were all a bit hit! Dinner service was fantastic, got the folks through the buffet line easily and quickly, the bartenders were fun and kept the lines short, and the cupcakes and cookies were fantastic!
    If you need delicious food with great flavor from some amazing people, book them now!

    Wedding 8/6/23

    Autumn’s Catering company catered my wedding on 8/6/2023. The food was amazing and flavorful. The cocktail hour and dessert display were beautiful. I especially loved the various types of cheeses for the cocktail hours. The customer service was outstanding, everyone was so friendly and helpful. I loved the care and kindness everyone on the team had for us making sure all the details were perfect from the food displays to helping fluff my dress before I walked down the aisle. The bartenders also did an amazing job making the signature drinks. My family and I enjoyed everything. Thank you so much, we truly appreciate it. I will definitely hire Autumn’s Catering for my next event.

    Christina, Thank you for your kind words! It was a pleasure getting to be a part of your beautiful day. We are so glad that everything was to your liking and that you all had a wonderful time!

    Fantastic Organization for any Event

    Claudine and her crew are absolutely amazing! They catered our wedding reception and it was all delicious, flawless, and basically perfect. We had to reschedule our original reception at the very last minute due to positive COVID tests for both the bride and groom. Autumn's Custom Catering were so flexible and accommodating and really helped us wade through such an emotional and potentially horrible nightmare. I can't say enough good things about Autumn's Custom Catering. Hire them!

    Autumn's Custom Catering and Cafe's reply:

    Thank you APT! We truly appreciate the recommendation. We're so glad to have been of help during that stressful time.

    I rate this vendor as top notch--5 stars across the board for fabulous food,phenomenal service and reasonable pricing.

    I live in New Hampshire and was helping my niece,who lives in Virginia ,plan her wedding. After extensive research of caterers we chose Autumn Catering and am I glad we did.Thier menu options were amazing.We chose the charcuterie board,shrimp cocktail and meatballs marinara for appetizers and for the main course we chose pulled pork,roasted chicken and a primerib carving station with all of the sides. Desserts were seasonal desserts and a chocolate fountain.Autumn Catering was wonderful to work with from choosing the menu to making the entire night perfect. The food was fabulous,the service phenomenal and the price was very reasonable.

    Claudine,the owner and her staff were amazing even helping us setup the decor at the inn and taking care of the bride and groom throughout the evening.

    I give them 5 stars across the board--you can't do any better than Autumn Catering!

    Awesome, professional and down to earth!

    From the very first day they have ALL been amazing to work with! We never, ever had an issue with anything regarding them. Their prices are by far the best in town for the quality of food and services they provide. They also helped my family set up the decor the day of the wedding since they were running behind due to the keys got locked in my parents car. I also had someone go out of their way to fix the button that broke on my dress with a safety pin right before introductions. I am forever grateful for them all for making our wedding WONDERFUL!

    Autumn's Custom Catering and Cafe's reply:

    Jennifer, Thank you for the kind words and for including us on your big day! We are so glad that we were able to help! Part of our full service is to ensure that all of your final details are taken care of, including having Claudine fix your dress. You and Thomas were an absolute pleasure to work with and we wish you all the best in the future!

    Forever thankful for Claudine & her staff!

    I can’t recommend Claudine and her staff enough, I am so thankful for them! They were so kind and professional from start to finish. They answered all of my questions promptly and believe me, I had A LOT of questions that I would randomly realize I forgot to ask, and they never made me feel like I was bothering them. They were always happy to help and even made me an AWESOME small cutting cake for a very reasonable price. Everything in fact was reasonably priced, and even when there was a small mix up on our invoice, Claudine was quick to reach out personally to make it right. She and her staff truly care about the events they are a part of, so if you are considering using Autumn’s Custom Catering for your event, DO IT, you will not be disappointed!

    Wedding Review

    Autumn's Custom Catering went above and beyond on my wedding day. Not only was the food amazing, literally so many guests mentioned how delicious the food was, but the team is the best! Claudine and her staff were so nice, checking on us during dinner to see if we wanted any more food/drinks, advising when to cut cake for the guests, and bringing the bride water when dancing. Additionally, prior to the ceremony the staff helped my husband's grandmother transport, set up, and attach decorations to the cake which went above and beyond their commitments. Autumn's Catering were timely with all communication, provided insight into food/drink selections, helped coordinate/set up rentals, and worked with us when we decided to add a late night snack option that wasn't originally apart of their menu. We can't sing their praises enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for catering for an event!

    Autumn's Custom Catering and Cafe's reply:

    Bri, Thank you so much for the kind words! We truly enjoyed being a part of yours and Brent's big day. We were more than happy to assist Brent's grandmother with the cake, which was also absolutely beautiful! Please let us know if you all ever need anything and we wish you both the absolute best!

    Absolutely wonderful!

    100% satisfaction! 5 stars!
    Claudine and her team did a fantastic job at our love celebration. Leading up to the event, Leann was always quick to reply and answer all my questions.
    The menu we had put together was excellent, we were able to cater for everyone's dietary requirements (diabetes, lactose-intolerance, no pork, etc). Because we were worried about all the waste we would be producing, they helped us find more envionmentally friendly/biodegradable disposables. Guests not only complimented on the food but also how friendly and fun Claudine, Leann and her team were and how much they enjoyed the drinks.
    You can't go wrong with Autumns Custom Catering! :)

    Outstanding wedding service

    ACC perfectly accommodated our wedding menu requests. They were flexible, easy to work with, and provided clear communication and lots of staff support. During our reception, my wife and I had multiple guests commend on how friendly the staff were, and they worked hard to make our wedding an incredible day. Highly recommend!

    Delicious, helpful, flexible!

    When we were looking for a caterer for our wedding I emailed Autumn's with an impossibly-long email of questions. They answered ALL of them. And then I did it again. And again. Every time I emailed them with questions about the day, they were patient, attentive, and professional in responding and answering all of them, and offering suggestions based on their experience. We ended up having to change our wedding venue about 3 weeks out from the event and they worked with us to make that work. Also, we had way fewer people RSVP yes than we anticipated, but they graciously allowed us to reduce the headcount. We did a tasting with them and the food was amazing. Day of - food was amazing. We did a family-style meal for guests and they prepared plates of all of the food for me and my husband at our sweetheart table so that we could also have some of everything! The cupcakes were delicious! They also packed up all of our leftovers for us at the end of the night.
