    A huge hit!

    My husband and I are not big cake people, but we love donuts! Carpe Donut was one of the first vendors we booked, and we are oh so glad we did! The donuts were delicious and the truck is adorable. So many people told us they went back for seconds! A huge hit and a fun addition to any wedding.

    Delicious apple cider donuts & DRINKING CHOCOLATE!

    Carpe Donut did a fantastic job catering the farewell brunch the day after our wedding! The whole operation was contained in their food truck, which pulled right up to our outdoor pavilion. They provided everything we needed (donuts, coffee, drinks, fruit, bagels, utensils, paper products). The fresh apple cider donuts and drinking chocolate were big hits with our guests. And they even brought a batch of gluten-free donuts to accommodate the bride’s food allergy.

    Communication/coordination was effortless with their administrative team, and the truck & service team arrived early to the site, so they were set up and ready to start serving their delicious treats with plenty of time to spare.

    Say "Yes" to the Donuts!

    My daughter and new son-in-law are not really dessert people, but they do love donuts and wanted to make their wedding dessert "fun." Carpe Donut provided both great fun and deliciousness! We're originally from NY State, where apple cider donuts (made with apples from NY orchards) are a staple. It was a tall order for a donut truck from Virginia to meet our expectations, but they did so in spades! Our guests (many from NY) loved the donuts with ice-cream and the novelty of the whimsical truck. Server was charming and got into the excitement of the event. This was a unique, special, and super sweet experience!

    Perfect option for dessert!

    Carpe Donut catered my wedding in November 2023, and it was absolutely perfect. Matt was a blast to work with. Our tasting was super fun getting to pick our different donut flavors and drink options. In addition to dessert, the catered the delicious appetizers during the cocktail hour (charceuterie style). Our guests were wowed by the fresh made donuts and delicious hot drinks at the wedding. Instead of doing a cake cutting, Matt had the great idea to do an "infinity donut," and we got some great pictures of my husband and I sharing it lady-and-the-tramp style. Overall it was a great experience working with Carpe Donut. On top of delicious donuts, they are friendly, easy to work with, and very professional. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for a unique dessert option for your event. This is definitely a way better option than cake!

    Fun wedding dessert option!

    Carpe donut was a hit at our wedding! We didn’t want to serve cake and Carpe Donut provided a unique service which our guests loved. They served fresh-apple cider donuts and coffee. The donuts are amazing – we still have our family and friends telling us how good they were. Compared to other dessert options, it felt like a very reasonable choice pricewise to go with Carpe Donut. The cart they use is so cute and a great photo op! We are so happy we decided to use Carpe Donut and 100% recommend!

    Delicious!!! Highly recommend for weddings :)

    We used Carpe Donut for our October wedding and the apple cider donuts dusted with cinnamon sugar were the perfect fall treat! We topped them with their artisanal vanilla ice cream and gave them "Love is Sweet" cups and "Donut Mind If I Do" napkins to serve them. It was a chilly evening, so we also had them offer coffee and hot chocolate. The guests loved it - Carpe Donut was such a hit!!

    Highlight of the evening

    Carpe Donuts catered our wedding and they were by far the hit of the evening! Family and friends are still raving about how great the donuts were. Beyond the quality, Carpe Donuts were beyond nice to work with, even with all the changes that came with COVID. They went above and beyond what was required. I would not hesitate to book them for your next event- it will be one of the best things you do!

    Our guest devoured the donuts. Perfectly fresh and hot on a crisp autumn night. The truck added a whimsical element to our day.

    Get the donuts..just do it

    Having the carpe donut truck for our wedding was the easiest decision that we made. The donuts were delicious and a hit with all our guests. Matt and his team were amazing to work with and are just good people. The cherry on top of a great event were the 2 dozen donuts that they sent us home with. Also, ask him about his daughters blueberry crumble donuts they are to die for and yes if you were wondering we ate every last donut that they sent home with us the night after the wedding.

    Much more then delicious donuts!

    We selected the Carpe donut truck as a special morning after treat for my daughter's wedding guests this past September. Matt provided not just freshly baked very delicious donuts, but a lovely spread of fruit, bagels, coffee, juices, etc. His food is great and the service he provided was outstanding.

    Carpe Donut for the win!

    Having Carpe Donut at our wedding was such a fun surprise for our guests! They were running outside to get donuts and coffee! The set up and service were perfect and the donuts were magical. So happy!

    The Perfect Touch

    We were so lucky to work with the Carpe Donut team for our daughter's October 2020 wedding. The donut truck was perfect, the donuts and hot cider were AMAZING, and it was the perfect touch to a Fall wedding. We would highly recommend Carpe Donuts to any bride and/or event!

    Delicious Donuts!

    Donuts were a huge hit at our wedding. We opted not to do the cart, and just have the donuts delivered. Our venue warmed up the donuts before serving them, and they were amazing!

    No joke, the best decision we made when planning our wedding. SUCH a treat and something so fun to look forward to at the end of the night. Literally still dreaming over those donuts and the cider. Worth every penny and then some. Your guests will be ecstatic.

    These donuts were huge hit at our wedding! All of our guest LOVED the hot, fresh, delicious apple cider donuts. Plus, their donut cart is adorable! They even made to-go boxes for us (the bride & groom) and baggies for the vendors.

    Having Carpe Donut do our Sunday brunch was a fantastic decision! Our guests loved the combination of delicious donuts, bagels, fruit, coffee, and hot chocolate. It was fun and easy to have the truck drive up, park, and start serving -- required no worrying or organizing on our end, which was a blessing at the end of the wedding weekend!

    We used Carpe Donut for a Sunday, post-wedding (next day) brunch at our home for 100. It was a gorgeous day outside so this worked out well. They came with a cute little red Carpe Donut truck, their own tent and tables, and provided the entire set-up (including plates, cutlery, coffee cups, napkins, etc.). They arrived 2 hours before the event as promised, were friendly and efficient and the food was great! Our guests loved the donuts made right on site and some enjoyed the optional glazes we had ordered. The fresh donuts were so fresh and delicious. We ordered the additional omelet service and they made super omelettes to order using organic eggs. Our guests over them. The Bodos bagels and fresh fruit they provided looked good, but I didn't try. The coffee and juices were good. We added champagne, beer and water and were all set. It was so easy and delicious. Our guests loved it. I did pay for and add one additional staff member (very reasonable) to the 2 staff members provided in the basic service as we dd not want the guests waiting too long for omelets and that was a wise move as it helped move service along. 2 on omelets, 1 doing the donuts. great, friendly service, great food.

    When my husband, fiancé at the time, said he wanted donuts at the wedding, I just shrugged. I'm not a dessert fan so I just let him run with it. BEST. DECISION. EVER! It was a food truck that pulls up and serves donuts to your guests for three hours. Everyone LOVED it. I heard the guy could barely keep up with the crowd because everyone wanted firsts, seconds, and thirds. We opted to do a choice of maple glaze, bourbon glaze, or cinnamon sugar. If you are looking for something unique, this is the way to go.

    We wanted our wedding to be fun, unique, and memorable, and Carpe Donut certainly helped with that! My husband and I were not interested in having a wedding cake, but definitely wanted an alternative dessert. Our caterer suggested Carpe Donut (he hired them for his own wedding!) and we were intrigued. Once we saw the adorable, whimsical, donut truck, we knew we had to have them at our wedding. Not to mention, the donuts were delicious! Matt and the team were really flexible with options (we requested lemonade instead of coffee since it was summer) and even put together little donut favor boxes for our guests to take home at the end of the night (perfect for our many out-of-town guests... breakfast to-go!) I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to add an extra element of fun to their wedding and really wow their guests!

    Carpe Donut is phenomenal! I was determined to have a reception with a sense of fun and whimsy for our guests, and Carpe Donut delivered! The guests were absolutely thrilled with the option to head outside to an old-fashioned donut truck and feast on organic donuts and hot apple cider on a chilly night. Matt and the team even offered a bourbon and bacon glazed donut for us - which was out-of-this-world delicious. The guests have not stopped talking about how cool the donut truck was and how it was such a fun experience for them. We've heard over and over again that we had the best wedding ever and I fully believe that Carpe Donut was a huge part of that. I recommend them 100%, and will make plans to visit them every time I'm in Charlottesville in the future to bring some donuts home!

    What a fun vendor! If you want something to make your wedding stand out, Matt and Carpe Donut are the people to use! Nothing says fun like fresh organic donuts, coffee, hot chocolate and hot cider. Our guests loved Carpe Donut, especially because we got married on a cold, clear January evening. They were able to step outside and grab their warm drinks and treats. To quote one (male) friend, "I actually went 'squeeeee' and screamed like a little girl because I was so excited about the donuts!" Carpe Donut is the perfect "splurge" to have at your wedding, because people will definitely remember how awesome they are! Also, everyone we met at Carpe, besides just the owner Matt, were really cool and fun people. Totally worth it!

    We had Carpe Donuts at our June 29 wedding in Scottsville, VA and we must say we are so incredibly HAPPY that we chose to have them there!!!! They added something extra to our reception that our guests LOVED and not to mention their doughnuts are AMAZING!!! As the bride and groom, we took time to go outside and feed the doughnuts to each other and took some really cute photos as well!! Carpe was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process and on the night of our wedding they made everything so special for us and for our guests!!! If you want to surprise your guests with something really fun and unique for your wedding, we highly recommend using Carpe Donuts!!!!!!!

    Carpe Donuts brought so much fun and delight to our wedding! The donuts are DELICIOUS and would beat your average wedding cake any day of the week. Our guests absolutely loved them. Matt Rhodie and the whole Carpe Donuts team are wonderful to work with--so personable and genuine. I also have to highly recommend the "donut tasting" they offer when you book them for your wedding. Besides finding my wedding dress, that was without a doubt my favorite part of the wedding planning process.
