Susan Womack and Brian Thompson were the 2 people that I worked with directly and they were both SO WONDERFUL! They both listened to my ideas (patiently) and offered creative suggestions and helpful advice, from a professional perspective (things I would never have thought of!). Susan met with me about 4x, making me feel very reassured that she knew our vision for the wedding and that she would ensure everything was in the right place at our venue (Main Street Station), etc. They even surprised me with special touches that we hadn't discussed, like using some extra burlap to make cute bows/sashes around the bases of the hi-top tables that were draped w/ a plain white cloth. SO CUTE! The food was delicious, from the Spring mix salad to the carved pork tenderloin w/ 2 different sauces, to the make-your-own-sundae bar that they executed perfectly! We also had thai chicken lettuce wraps, a mashed potato and sweet potato bar w/ toppings, mini-reubens, and more. The bartenders did a great job, as well (we provided all the alcohol; they took care of the mixers). I would highly recommend I.K. Catering (and don't let the restaurant name - Italian Kitchen - fool you; they do every type of food!).

Throughout the entire planning process Brian offered any and every way possible to help. At times he could see I was worried about certain things but he always assured me that everything would work out. Brian's very open to serving any type of food you want which was great. We had a slight issue with the linen company the day before the wedding but Brian compromised with them, straightened it out and we ended up with a better setup than originally planned.The day of the wedding we had great service and excellent food! we loved the mashed potato bar. The bartender would make a point to stop me and make sure my glass was full :) Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend him again! Kristen

Working with IK Catering was a wonderful experience. We knew we wanted to use them for our wedding from the moment we started our first meeting/taste testing. Brian designed the table to fit the colors of our wedding and the food was delicious. Susan was our event manager. She was the best! I didn't have to worry about anything at our reception because every time I needed something or someone she was right there!!!! She went above and beyond! Thank you!!!

Brian Thompson and his staff were very professional, and very helpful. Having to arrange a long distance reception. His team was great! They answered all of our questions, and were willing to make changes as necessary to see that our day was perfect. Thank you IK Catering!

Brian Thompson and I.K. Catering provided services for me for my wedding on April 30, 2011. Myself, my husband, and my family and friends were completely satisfied with how great the food was. Brian was a pleasure to work with and he always went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied with his services. I can't even begin to explain how good I.K. Catering is but I know that I will definitely be using their catering services again in the future and I would advise anyone who needs a caterer to to see the great people at I.K. Catering. Thanks Brian and I.K.!!!!

Brian and the entire staff are very professional and a joy to work with. As an event manager, I fully rely on a vendor to meet our standards of ethics and possess finesse, especially when working with a client. I will say that hands down, IK Catering has come through for us on every occasion. And the best part of it all is they are very personable. PS. I LOVE their food (so does my hubby) ...can you say CRAB CAKES?!?!?!?! Delectable Morsels should be the name for them! Give them a try, I promise you will not use anyone else thereafter.

Dear Brian and Staff,
Thank you so much for making both my rehearsal dinner and reception special! The food was amazing of course, but the special touches you used to display the food made it all more visually interesting. Also, the attention you gave James and I made our time more intimate and less stressful so that we could enjoy these special nights together. Everything was as I dreamed and I thank you so much for your help making it possible. Everyone said the food was delicious, and that you were so sweet and accommodating. I would recommend you to anyone who wants their night to be perfect and memorable! Thanks again!
Stephanie and James

If I could give a 10 for these I would!! Brian and his entire staff were absolutely wonderful from the very beginning right up until the very end of my wedding planning process. Being an out-of-town bride, I was very anxious to see the outcome of all of my wedding services, but IK Catering hit a complete homerun! The food was excellent and the bartenders made us feel like VIPs -- I could not imagine using anyone else!

This catering company was simply wonderful. My wedding was on a Wednesday which is highly unusual and I was actually turned away from some companies. However, Brian and his staff were excellent and offered additional items for rental as well as providing a tasting session for everything we ordered to ensure it was made the way we wanted it. I would highly recommend this company. Catered wedding food is usually average and forgettable..... not so with IK Catering. I am still getting compliments from my guests on how amazing the food was and the set up and take down in addition to service was well worth the reasonable cost.
Brian from IK Catering is a real class-act. Not only did he serve some of the best food I've ever eaten at one of our Lighting Seminars, but he also took quite a bit of time to ensure that the menu was perfect for our guests. He is punctual, kind-hearted, and definitely a five-star chef.
We are honored to have I.K. Catering as a top preferred caterer at the Plantation!They are a very popular choice among our brides and grooms which comes to no suprise when you meet Brian, the owner, and see the excellent service and wonderful food that he and his staff provide! Brian is without a doubt the nicest and most professional person to work with! And, one aspect that we find most impressive about I.K. Catering is their "consistency" in always providing the best food and the best service to our clients. When I.K. Catering is here at the Plantation we know that our bride is in good hands!
I.K. Catering is selected by many of our brides.....they must do something right! Actually they have the reputation for doing many things right! They are excellent in their cooperation with set-up for our cakes and we always appreciate their help!
Brian and his staff are great to work with. I have had numerous events with them and they have always been extremely professional and accomodating. They are always willing to go that extra mile in the area of team work to get an event done. Great People!! Check them out!
Brian is such a sweet person. He takes so much pride and truly loves what he does for a living. I.K. Catering goes above and beyond even during a tasting with a potential bride and groom!
We have had the pleasure of working with Brian at I K Catering for a while now and there is honestly, no one nicer than him. Brian sincerely cares about his brides and what he can do to make their day unforgettable, so I am certain he would not let you down. His food is delicious and beautifully presented. We look forward to working many more years to come with Brian at I K Catering! Thank you Brian for all that you do!
I met Brian Thompson and crew at a wedding vendor meeting. We were also in a bridal show together and had an opportunity to taste their food which was great(and I'm a picky eater)Several months later they called me to play for their restaurant 60th anniversary which was the Italian Kitchen in Mechanicsville, Va. They put on a spread that would knock your socks off. That evening was one of the best jobs I've ever played. The Thomspons were great hosts, treated me like a family member and put on a catered affair that was memorable. Don't worry if you say "they do only Italian food". Nope they do it all. They can handle any occasion for you and they are great to work with, I should know, I have. Brian and crew will handle you in a professional and courteous manner and go the extra mile for you.
