  Turned a Gym into a Wedding Venue

  What would we have done without Avalon, they were so professional, gave us EVERYTHING we wanted and super affordable! People won't stop talking about how amazing the food was, and can we please talk about how they TRANSFORMED SportRock Climbing Center (a gym) into a stunning wedding venue for our dream wedding! Will hire them for any upcoming events!

  We working with Christina, and boy was she a life saver! We were working with a really tight budget, and she went above and beyond to help us have the reception we dreamed of. She kept track of all of our detailed schedules, special requests, and complicated seating arrangements. On top of taking care of our catering, Christina functioned as a day-of coordinator as well!! She helped keep our reception on schedule and even was there during our ceremony to tell everyone when to walk down the aisle. Seriously, what more could you ask for?!?

  Avalon made our reception. The food and dessert was amazing. Milena is the best! I am not the bride that knows what she wants - than goodness for Milena! She was able to provide me with suggestions and ideas for the venue, linens, food options, and steered me away from what could have been some pretty unsightly decisions. The tasting really sold us - we were able to try everything we would be eating at our actual event, prepared and presented the same way it would be at the event. The cupcakes and cake were incredible and I seriously think about ordering them in bulk separately. The staff for the event were very professional. We had passed hors d' oeuvres, wine poured at dinner, and 2 bartenders - all were amazing. Guests told me after how cool the batenders were. Will definitely use Avalon for events in the future.

  Christina from Avalon Caterer is the best! She is really sweet and very helpful. Our budget for the wedding was really tight and so Christina suggested some things and ways to help me save money and cut the cost down. The food and services was awesome! I would totally recommend Avalon Caterer. Thank you again for such great food and services.

  Words can't express how much I enjoyed working with Milena C. of Avalon Caterers. She was extremely patient, flexible and caring throughout the entire wedding planning process. My husband and I used Avalon as the preferred caterer for our wedding at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Milena and the rest of her staff were excellent in every service that they provided for us. It's very easy to see that she truly enjoys what she does for a living because it shows in her performance and delivery. Definitely one of our favorite wedding vendors. Avalon had a huge role in helping to make our day a success.

  We were so thrilled to have Avalon cater our wedding. It was a small 22 person backyard dinner party and everything was so so so perfect. The food was very important to us and Avalon nailed it!! The presentation was immaculate and suited the style of our wedding. They even served everything on copper platters to coordinate with our decor! Small touches like that make so much of a difference. Everyone raved about how delicious the food was. It was a seasonal menu with something for everyone. And the service was fantastic too. Milena helped us from the beginning and was present on the wedding day. She is so sweet and incredibly helpful and thoughtful. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

  Carolina and her staff were fantastic. She worked within our budget and the food was amazing. I would recommend her to any bride who needs to keep to a budget but wants to have her wedding be memorable. I have even thought of using Avalon for my husbands birthday party next year! Great value!

  We hired Avalon Caterers for our small wedding, with a cocktail style reception at the Hendry House in Arlington, VA. I worked exclusively with Milena and she was very responsive and nothing short of amazing! Avalon/Milena was extremely flexible and helped us plan an amazing menu within our budget. She had great suggestions regarding the menu, bar, layout and all things wedding. Avalon permits you to supply your own beer/wine/liquor which was something that we really appreciated (was a huge savings for us). The food was outstanding and our guests continually commented on the quality and quantity of the food and service. Avalon also did our wedding cake and it was delish and beautiful. We had asked if they would do something a bit different for the cake decor and they were very accommodating. They made a beautiful cake that looked just like the photo I had sent them. I honestly can't say enough about their services and particularly working with Milena. I felt like she was my wedding planner and she put so much time and effort into planning and setting up our big day. She brought our event to life and made our day perfect. I would highly recommend Avalon for any catering needs

  A-MA-ZING. Next to the groom, Avalon was the best thing about our wedding.
  
  The Mr. and I worked with Brittany to set-up most of our details, and she was so awesome-- very patient as we flip-flopped on all sorts of details (linens, grooms cake vs. dessert course, etc), and had good suggestions while still letting us control the process. She helped us figure out quantities to buy our own alcohol, and did customized menu requests for the cocktail hour.
  
  We chose Avalon largely because they fit our budget, and I was totally floored with the level of service. The food was incredible, too-- guests are still emailing me to get the recipe for the corn souffle.
  
  I wish I could include a piece of constructive criticism about Avalon, since I think that generally those make reviews more useful. But this is a 100% rave.

  Unrelated, but I want to include in every review so that all brides see it: avoid USA Bus Charter like the plague. They came late, had buses breakdown on the side of the road, got lost, screamed at passengers. Altogether a nightmare.

  We had a great experience working with Avalon Caterers. Our venue had a list of pre-approved caterers that we had to work with, and Avalon was one of them. Avalon was the only caterer on the list that was willing to work with our budget. We had a beautiful brunch wedding, and we enjoyed working with Brittany Bernstein. She was quick to respond to all of our questions, and was willing to stay after business hours to do our tasting. For a very minimal fee, she was willing to pick up our cupcakes from another bakery and set them up for us as if they were their own product. They handled all of our set-up beautifully, and collected all of our extra stuff (cake knife, place cards, cupcake stand, other non-floral decor) beforehand so we didn't have to worry about it on the day-of). Priceless! Thank you for making our day, Avalon!

  Ask for Carolina Ocampo! She is the BEST! Avalon provided full service catering for my wedding in July 2010. Carolina made the process very simple and easy for me and even doubled as a day-of-coordinator for us! The food was just as delicious at the reception as it was when we originally tasted it. Avalon is also known for their red chimichurri sauce. Our guests loved the food!
  
  The linens and service provided at the reception was also spot on. Everything flowed on schedule and the staff worked very hard to ensure that transitions were made quickly and easily.

  We used Avalon Caterers for our wedding at River Farm and Kevin Peck was our catering manager. Kevin was a delight. His attention to detail was wonderful. He promptly responded to all of my emails some of which asked very detailed questions. On the day of, Kevin was there early making sure that everything was set up correctly. When the guests arrived, everything was in place and ran like clockwork. He kept us on schedule smoothly and gracefully. The food was wonderful and received good reviews from the guests. Throughout the process Kevin also worked with us to try to have the sort of event we desired within our budget. He went above and beyond by doing such things as bringing a steamer for my dress and lanterns to make sure the guests had adequate light getting to their cars. We highly recommend Avalon Caterers and Kevin Peck.

  I could not rave enough about Avalon Caterers. Kevin was absolutely amazing at my wedding, and I am in debt to him and his team. Not only did Kevin help us to create a great menu, but he also helped me with the centerpieces as well as keeping my stress level low. Kevin went above and beyond in every facet of the wedding, and friends and family assumed that he was the wedding planner, not just a caterer (no offense intended). We had unexpected rain on the wedding day which moved the ceremony indoors, but Kevin made things work so fluidly that I didn't mind the change of scenery. By far Avalon, and especially Kevin, were our favorite vendor from our wedding, and we are glad that we made the right decision. If you want a caterer that provides excellent food, fabulous service, and genuine care for you....you cannot go wrong with Avalon Caterers and Kevin!!!

  STORM OF THE DECADE - CATERER OF THE CENTURY
  We would like to thank Jaki and the staff for their herculean effort in making sure that our daughter's wedding reception occurred during the worst snowstorm since 1932. Most weddings were cancelled for that day, but that was never an option for Jaki and Avalon Caterers. What a momentous reception it turned out to be with great food, great decor, professional and friendly staff. Our 70+ spartan guests did not want to leave. This wedding reception and especially the food will be remembered by many people for a long time. We cannot thank you enough for helping to make this happen. "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" Kudos to Avalon - Cyndi & Mike

  I couldn't have been more pleased. Avalon Caterers took care of everything!! I worked closely with Carolina to plan my wedding and I couldn't have done it without her. Carolina listened carefully, gave great advice, and the execution was flawless. I can't say enough about Avalon. All of my guests RAVED about the food- it was delicious! The service, the food, the champagne, the evening ALL we perfect. Thank you!

  Carolina was wonderful! I changed my menu several times and she was very patient and prompt. The food was outstanding and exceeded my expectations. I designed my own wedding cake and they followed my design plans exactly (plus the cake tasted amazing). I would highly recommend Avalon to anyone planning a special party or event!

  We worked with Kevin, who was very helpful throughout the whole process. He has lots of ideas, and is willing to do almost whatever we wanted. He worked with us to stay on budget, and even recommended our wedding coordinator. Their food is fantastic!

  I called a couple of caterers - one came out to the house, but never got back to me and another sent a young girl that knew as much about weddings as we did. Based on the Wedding Wire reviews, we selected Avalon and worked with Kevin Peck. Everything was wonderful! Kevin went above and beyond to help get exactly what we wanted for table linens, china, chairs & flowers. And the food was amazing!! The guests raved about everything - especially the corn souffle. Kevin kept the evening flowing smoothly and even dressed to coordinate with the wedding colors!

  I worked with Kevin from Avalon for my wedding in Arlington, in May 2009, and he was fantastic. There was no need for us to hire someone for a cake; Avalon baked one that was delicious and beautiful. I highly recommend Avalon, particularly for a wedding!

  Avalon was great and easy to work with. Lauren helped us find the exact menu we wanted and also worked within our budget, and was helpful in finding ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality. My guests raved about the food, especially the tempura and the sweet potatoes! It was all so delicious. We had their lemon raspberry wedding cake and it was also especially good. Avalon really exceeded our expectations in terms of arriving early and setting up quickly and getting the job done in an elegant and efficient way.
  Cheers!

  Avalon Caterers's reply:

  What a fun and creative wedding to have helped plan. You had great ideas and the entertaining and thoughtful activities really did help make your guests truly part of your special day. The talent show was wonderful too and of course Meadowlark Gardens was the perfect spot. Belated happy 2 yr anniversary Nina and Homer! Kevin Peck

  After contacting several caterers by phone, I was leaning toward Avalon Caterers because Kevin was the most pleasant and responsive on the phone. Then, we went for a tasting, and signed the contract on the spot because the food was so tasty, and Kevin was just as easy to work with in person. He understood our theme and had several suggestions for making it happen. He handled some last minute changes with a calm "not a problem, whatever you need" attitude, including making a last minute trip back to his office to pick up an umbrella for our musicians, to protect them from the sun during our outdoor garden ceremony, and returning in time to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Our guests raved about the food. Some went back to make sure they sampled everything because they didn't want to miss anything; several commented that ours was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. Service was excellent -- we looked back on it the next day and realized that everything ran so smoothly the day of our wedding while we were busy simply enjoying our guests and our day.
