East Beach Catering

Cathy and her staff are absolutely amazing!! She listened to exactly what I wanted and came up with the perfect menu!! The food was out of this world and that's all guest kept raving about! The decor was exactly as I had I visioned it would be and everything looked amazing! I would definitely reccomend East Beach to anyone with an upcoming event! You can't go wrong with Cathy and her team!!! Thanks again!! xo

I would definitely recommend East Beach Catering to everyone. The food and work that they provided for my wedding was amazing. They took all our wishes and came up with a wonderful menu and a creative layout. The pricing is very reasonable and the taste and quality of the food is excellent. Cathy was wonderful to work with and really paid attention to our visions and wishes. We did a station style wedding and we never ran out of food the whole night. This pleased us and definitely satisfied all our guests. Everything was so delicious. Up to this day, we are still getting compliments about the food and how much there was. We are so pleased that we chose East Beach Catering and would recommend it to everyone. You will not be disapointed

Cathy and her assistant Jill were amazing. I sent them tons of emails over the course of wedding planning and they responded to everyone. They made my wedding a dream wedding. The food was amazing and all our guests were raving about it. My mother-in-law said that she could never eat a crab cake from FL again. It was truly an honor to work with her. They give you everything that you could possibly want. They even helped me come up with a signature drink that matched my navy blue them. We interviewed many other caterers and no one came close to Cathy’s professionalism, menu, or creativity. If you are looking for a caterer she is the one. Many other caterers in Virginia Beach are just so stuck up and Cathy is the farthest thing from that. And her staff at our wedding was amazing. Additionally, they helped us clean up at the end which was priceless. There is not a negative thing that can be said about Cathy or her staff. You would be lucky to have her as your caterer.

Absolutely Amazing. Cathy @ EBC handle everything from setting up the table decor to the cocktail hour and dinner. The food was delicious, everyone enjoyed it so much. Dessert was pretty and tasteful. I am speechless about how amazing everything was. So worth the $$$. Another vendor I plan on using in the near future!

East Beach Catering was beyond wonderful! We had our wedding this month and so many people left asking who did the catering and how delicious the food was and how helpful the staff was as well. Anything I asked about before the wedding was "no problem, we can do that" and they had great suggestions. We didnt have to worry about a thing that day! Thanks East Beach! :)

Amazing! Our guests could not stop talking about how great the food was! The crab cake appetizer and the prime rib were unbelievable! EBC was hired 6 weeks prior to our daughters wedding because the original caterer fell through. Cathy bent over backwards to provide us an excellent experience. Thank you Cathy!

Hands down, no questions asked, THE BEST!! We recently had our wedding in Virginia Beach and asked East Beach to cater our event. We wouldn't have changed a thing. I come from an overly demanding family when it comes to food and not one person can stop talking about how good the food was! Service, cost, quality and flavor was all amazing. Cathy, the owner, is awesome. She no doubt went the extra mile to help not just with food but planning and organization on our big day! Thank you once again so much. Your time, dedication and love for what you do is amazing.

The best thing I did for my wedding day was to hire East Beach Catering. Even though I had a very small wedding, I became engaged in November, and set my date the beginning of February for a April wedding. One of my friends recommended Cathy at East Beach Catering. When I met her she told me not to worry about a thing. On my wedding day I walked into a gorgeous decorated room and was served wonderful food and didn't have to worry about a thing. My guests are still talking about how wonderful everything was. The Shrimp and Grits in Martini glasses were a real hit! You can't go wrong with East Beach Catering!

A REVIEW FROM A TRUE FOODIE- BORN AND RAISED IN NEW ORLEANS--THIS IS A MUST READ!!
Cathy and the entire East Beach Catering "family" (they felt more like family members than co-workers), without question, was the pivotal piece of our wedding reception. We thought the bride and groom were supposed to be the centerpiece of the event.....but, alas, it was East Beach Catering and their delectable food and presentation. As we have had many visitors to our home after the wedding reception, everyone (without exception) walks into our home looking for leftovers from East Beach Catering. We have officially become 'East Beach Catering Groupies', and will scream from the mountain tops - or beach side, as it may in the Hampton Roads area- how much we love this company and feel as though Cathy has become one of our family in the process. If you are planning an event......this should be your one and only stop!!!!

We wish we could rate Cathy Carter and her staff at East Beach Catering more than 5 stars. They deserve at least a dozen. From the first meeting with Ms. Carter, we knew we didn't have to worry about a thing. We've attended functions catered by East Beach before, which is why we knew we were in the best of hands. Ms. Carter's creativity and execution of personalized themes is amazing. The food is outstanding and its presentation is stunning. Her flexibility with the menu is so important. Whatever you want, she'll make sure you have it. The personal touches she takes upon herself to include show how much she strives to make each event a very personal one. It's obvious how much pleasure she gets from pleasing her clients, which is turn shows the pride and effort she puts into all her events. The wait staff is also extraordinary. They are fun, curteous, experienced, helpful, professional and also go the extra mile. I can't say enough good things about Cathy Carter and the entire staff of East Beach Catering.

Cathy and her staff made our day. They were accomodating to our "latin" requests and the food was out of this world. All details were taken care of and what a surprise to have the room totally taken down for us. We had a "beach theme" and the presentation was perfect for our decorations. The staff were attentive to all needs and I didn't have to think about anything. I would highly recommend them for any type of occasion.

Cathy Carter and the staff at East Beach Catering were absolutely fabulous! They provided exceptional service for our wedding and the quality of the food was phenominal. The presentation of the food was out of this world! If you're looking for a caterer that is easy to work with, classy and has great ideas, then East Beach Catering is the perfect choice. Each of the staff members who worked at our wedding were the most pleasant, friendly and made sure that our day was absolutely perfect!

Cathy & EBC were outstanding! They were so easy to work with & the food was incredible! So many of our guests commented all night at the wedding and afterwards about how great the food was. By far one of the best decisions to hire them! Cathy makes it so easy to create a menu & offered so many suggestions that blended with what we wanted. I would hire EBC for any event. She takes so much time and gives her presentations a personal touch. We had an outdoor wedding at a private home, and her team made set up and follow through so easy. I arrived the next day and everything looked like they had never been there!

Cathy and her team at East Beach are incredible! I worked with them on a friend's wedding recently and they made the day of so easy for those of us coordinating. They were prompt, everything was set up beautifully (taking care of more than was required) and on top of all that the food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend East Beach Catering to anyone for an event between their fantastic service and fabulous food. Keep up the good work!

My daughter used this company for her wedding reception and it was excellent in every way. I would highly recommend them. Mother of the bride.

The food for my sister's wedding reception was outstanding. The staff were courteous and very professional. I would highly recommend this caterer to anyone for any event!

I don't know how to thank them enough! The two people they sent to our house for the wedding were amazing. Mandy is one of the nicest, sweetest, most charming people I've ever met and John was friendly and beyond helpful. You couldn't of sent two better people for our ever-so-small wedding. The food was also amazing and well prepared! Beyond anything I could of ever imagined.

I have worked with Cathy at East Beach several years and in over 6 events, all uniquely perfect! Cathy approaches food as an art and truely captures its beauty in her presentation. She goes above and beyond the scope of providing delicious food! Cathy takes a table and creates a masterpiece with color, texture and props. Most recently Cathy catered our wedding and we have heard rave reviews from our guests! Whether a corporate event, family gathering or wedding... Cathy will bring your event to life and share in making your day memorable!

I have had east beach catering recommened to me by my wedding planner. The tasting was great. Food and plate presentation was excellent. Although when it came time for the wedding day. we had an evening wedding and were running a little late for our plated dinner that we ate it warm. But that wasnt completely their fault in the event that i had a suprise dance with my dad right before it was time to eat. The one thing that i was not happy with was that the meat was too raw for most of our guests, which i remember specically telling them that we wanted it cooked medium to medium well. Potatoes were amazing , corn was a little to peppery for my liking but most enjoyed it. Lastly they forgot to pour our champagne so we did not do the toast until after we ate. All worked out ok, great dinner!

I LOVED working with Cathy Carter at EBC. Hiring this company was one of the best decisions I made and one of the only decisions that I never questioned. Cathy is the upmost professional, but more than that, she really cares about her brides. When we first met with her we tossed around so many ideas about what we wanted for our big day. Her proposal was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. On top of that I wish we could do tastings every week because the food is DELICIOUS! I have received so many compliments about the food at the reception, and even though I didn't get to eat much on the actual day, she sent us home a trunk full of food to munch on that night. You HAVE to try their mac n' cheese, it's truly the best I've ever had. And speaking of trunks...we had a travel themed wedding and it was so special that she thought to send us our goodies, in a trunk instead of a regular carry out bag.

Additionally EBC is well worth what you pay for. They don't charge things like cake cutting fees and they're also willing to work with you on what you'd like to do with the bar. For us, she provided all the mixers and the beer, but let us supply our own alcohol. We saved SO much money this way. I can't say enough great things about Cathy and her staff at the East Beach Catering and if I ever have to cater another event I won't look anywhere else!

We received only positive and glowing feedback about the food. I was so impressed by the wonderful spread of appetizers. We chose to serve the food family style which everyone enjoyed since it blended the best of a buffet and sit down approach. Cathy was a doll to work with and we enjoyed our tasting so much that we just couldn't wait for the wedding. Among my favorite items were Cathy's delicious homemade yeast rolls, loaded mashed potatoes, and crab stuffed tilapia. The presentation was just stunning as well (orchids in all the champagne glasses for instance). I highly recommend Cathy and her team.

can somebody say Mmmmm Mmmm goood! Man there food was extremely delicious and at a wonderfully great price!! definitely fit our budget!!! DEfintely reccomend!

This caterer was recommended by our Wedding coordinator - CMT Event Planning. Cathy was fantastic! She knew exactly what we wanted when we tried to explain the atmosphere we were looking for. I've never tasted wedding food that I actually liked. It was like a home cooked meal with twice the class. I definitely recommend this vendor.

East Beach has done two events for me, one of them was our daughters wedding. Everything was perfect! Cathy and her staff are just wonderful people. They are kind, easy to work with, professional, creative and helpful. They worked with us to get things just the way we wanted them. I highly recommend them! They have since done several of my daughters friends weddings too. Perfect every time!

East Beach Catering did a spectular job of catering our wedding! Cathy took a seemingly common cuisine for turned it up 1000 notches! Shrimp and Grits in martini glasses, Mac & Cheese is individual spoons and my guests are still raving about the spicey crab dip.Actually I think one of my uncle's want the recipe to her pulled pork. WE DID NOT RUN OUT OF FOOD.. not even a roll!!
Her services are beyond that of a caterer. She teamed up with my planner and provided those "extras" that went well above her obligation. Cathy's services are completely personalized and while I hired her to be my caterer, I left knowing a remarkable lady and hopefully a life long friend. Thank you for making our special day more than we could have ever dreamed of!

Having East Beach Catering at our wedding reception was absolutely wonderful. Cathy was very flexible and eager to provide food that we chose. Any questions or changes that I had were always given a quick response. She has a great way of catering for large crowds and paying close attention to detail to make it seem like she's serving a small dinner party. Guests that were at the reception are still commenting on how great the food was! I would highly recommend using her for any occassion.

East Beach Catering did a wonderful job on our wedding! Guests complimented on the food and they went out of their way to make it a special day! Cocktail hour was very pretty along with the orchids in the champagne glasses! The only thing I was disappointed with was the buffet. The food was great, but she did not make the buffet look like anything special, just a line of buffet platters. (she did not decorate as much as she said she would) However, I would definetely recommend them for any event!!

Cathy with East Beach catering did an awesome job at our wedding. Many of our guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The presentation was lovely, and taste was exceptional and the price was fair. I would highly recommend East Beach for any event you are in need of a caterer for. Many of my friends are planning their weddings and are using EBC. I've eve n had several of my wedding guests call EBC for information regarding services because they were so impressed. The are professional, on time and very nice people to work with. A+

East Beach Catering's food, presentation and service are well worth it! The presentation was so nice, you almost don't want to touch it to eat...lol. But once you do, you keep going back for more. East Beach catered our wedding and they did an excellent job. We had a cocktail hour for our guests, while we were taking our wedding pictures. There was cheese & crackers, mushroom cups, fruits, smoked salmon, gourmet BLTs, mediterranean skewers, shrimp cocktail and of course the drinks. The bartenders were great! Everything was set up so nicely and tasted great! Then for the reception dinner, which was served buffet style, we had cheesy mashed potatoes, baked chicken, pork tenderloin, green beans, salad, and the best was the shrimp & grits martini's. Everybody loved all the food but especially loved the shrimp & grits....guests kept going back for more. The tables were set up with bread baskets, red wine and white wine. It was gorgeous! The staff were all nice and pleased the guests beyond expectations. They even cut and served our wedding cake. And for our champagne toasts, purple orchids were placed in the glasses for a phenomenal look. Overall, we were very pleased with Ms. Cathy and East Beach Catering and would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married, having a party or having any event needing good food, good presentation and excellent service all with a creative touch. They love what they do and it shows!!!

East Beach Catering, their staff, and especially Cathy Carter were absolutely phenomenal. The service was impecable and the quality of the food was incredible. Cathy is creative, understanding, patient, responsive, professional, an overall fantastic person and I strongly recommend East Beach as a caterer for any occassion. I felt completely confident in the food and in it's presentation. She really listened to our needs and requests and it reflected in the wedding. She also threw in some wonderful surprises. Still to this day, people approach me about how fabulous the food was at our wedding and especially rave about the beef tenderloin! East Beach Catering made our wedding truly memorable.

Absolutely phenomenal. The food could not have been better. Professional team. Tremendous menu flexibility. I have nothing but glowing remarks. I highly recommend East Beach Catering.

Cathy Carter and her team at East Beach Catering are second to none! They played a huge part in our special day. The food is by far the best I have ever tasted (people are still talking about it!) and the presentation was so beautiful. Our servers and bartender were also well beyond our expectations. Also, she took care of all the decorations, and helped with any big questions that I had. I am so greatful to have had such a wonderful person with us and to have made a new friend.

Cathy Carter was more than a great caterer - she basically served as my wedding planner, giving advice, answering questions about all aspects of wedding planning, recommending other vendors, and coordinating with my other vendors. She also did all the decor for the reception hall. The food was fabulous (rave reviews from all my guests), her staff was perfectly professional, and her rates were more than reasonable. Best of all, she is truly a nice person, going out of her way to make sure my parents as the hosts had a good time and never had to worry about anything.

Cathy and her team at East Beach Catering were amazing! We had a specific "local food" theme in mind and she exceeded our expectations. Not only was the food terrific (people still mention to me how awesome the crab cakes were and the wedding was months ago), but her set up was incredibly artistic and unique. Cathy was responsive and professional and put a bride at ease. If you have the opportunity to work with East Beach, I highly recommend it!

I can't compliment East Beach Catering enough. The food was wonderful, the price was great and the presentation was amazing. So many of our guests have commented on how terrific the dinner was at our reception. Cathy even put together beautiful menu items for all the children at the wedding. Her recommendations to make the dinner even more special were perfect. I highly recommend Cathy and her team

Cathy did an excellent job! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

East Beach catering was amazing. My husband and I were on a tight budget but the food was impecable. Cathy also assisted the florist in setting up flowers around her food. She was always available especially during those last hectic 72 hours. The real difference is in her presentation. Not only is her food delicious but she sets it up as art. Her food was definitely a part of my entire theme. Highly reccomended.

Cathy Carter and her team are very professional, the food and presentation is amazing! I love referring East Beach Catering because I know that I will not have to worry about the service and food, so I can focus my attention on the bride, her family and guests!!

Love Cathy and her vision about food! You can't miss with East Beach!

Cathy Carter and the staff of East Beach Catering are incredible folks to work with. The presentation of the food and drink is beautiful and there is never a detail overlooked. But truly, the proof is in the way East Beach's food TASTES. Delicately hand prepared, made from scratch, and simply put- delicious.
