Well Dunn Catering

What a fantastic experience we had working with Well Dunn and our representative, Yulia. Yulia put together an incredible evening for us and our guests. The food was amazing, the staff responsive and professional, from the very start we knew we were going to have the perfect wedding reception. Our guests are still talking about it. We would highly recommend Well Dunn and Yulia for your next catering event.

I loved all my wedding vendors but Well Dunn was by far my favorite! They did an AMAZING job with everything and the food was ridiculously delicious! I had the pleasure of working with Yulia as my coordinator and she was the nicest person ever! I may be biased but I think it was by far the best wedding food I had ever tasted. I could not get enough of all the appetizers and the dinner and desserts we selected were fantastic. We had initially attended an amazing tasting where we selected all the items but I was worried that at our wedding it may not taste as good because sometimes when things are made in bulk they aren't as great. Fortunately, I was wrong! Everything served on the day of the wedding tasted just as good as when we chose it. During our private cocktail hour, my husband and our bridal party were blown away by the food. They brought in special trays just for us and assigned us a private bartender/server to serve us during the private cocktail hour and for the rest of the night. I still have wedding guests calling and messaging me raving about the food and people are posting pictures left and right of just the food itself! At the end of the night, they even made us a basket with a bottle of champagne, wine, water and all the leftover food and desserts. We ate it all for days! My only disappointment is that there wasn't more of it!

Not only was the food delicious, but Yulia and her staff was beyond fantastic, both before the wedding and the night of. Before the wedding, Yulia made sure to respond to everyone of mine and my fathers crazy emails immediately and was so nice and accommodating. We must have changed things on her hundreds of times but she never hesitated or complained! When we were worried about price, Yulia worked with us on ideas how to save. On the day of our wedding, everything went so smoothly and looked great! On top of it, everyone working the event was so professional and accommodating. Our personal server was so great and continuously checked on us throughout the night to make sure always we had enough to eat or drink. Everyone always told me you don't get a chance to eat at your own wedding, but by the time I left that night I was so full I could barely walk!

Yulia and Well Dunn went above and beyond to make our wedding fabulous and we couldn't have asked for a better night or for better food! If I could rate them higher than a 5 I would! We were originally deciding between them and another caterer (who as a little cheaper) but after talking to Yulia and attending the tasting, we knew there was absolutely no comparison. My husband and I (and my parents) are so glad we chose Well Dunn and we must have said it 10 times the night of our wedding after numerous times since then. If you are hesitating on hiring them because of the price, I recommend cutting corners elsewhere and splurge on hiring Yulia and Well Dunn! My family and I are already trying to plan another party just so we can use them...

Knocked it out of the Park.

We visited many caterers in DC...plenty of them to choose from. Our contact at Well Dunn was Yulia, she was the only person throughout this ordeal to find the "ONE" who understood my wife. Yulia Poukalova understood our vision, and at no time tried to boot strap us into the traditional ceremony. We felt that we were Well Dunn's only client. Our guests genuinely liked the food. Yulia helped us piece together a seasonal buffet that fed our 150 people in a very short period of time. The setting was beautiful, inviting, and warm....yet still efficient!

Thank you Yulia and Well Dunn Staff

There are no words that can adequately express how much we loved working with Yulia and Well Dunn for our wedding at the Carnegie Institution for Science. The food was insanely delicious- some of our guests are lamenting the fact that they didn't also get a to-go tray of the risotto cakes from the cocktail hour- and the service both before and during the wedding could not possibly have been any better. Yulia responded to every email promptly and professionally, no matter how many times we changed our mind about the most minor details (and then there was the time we asked her to completely re-do the initial proposal because we didn't communicate with each other properly before contacting her; we were amazed she didn't drop us on the spot). Every little thing we wanted, we received, including a "special" meal (Kraft mac and cheese and cranberry sauce) for a picky eater.

Just prior to the ceremony, both sides of the bridal party were provided with trays of food. We were all starving by that time, so it was much appreciated. The staff were consistently pleasant and helpful, especially one particularly kind lady who was assigned to the bride and groom to make sure we had everything we needed all day. We might actually be the first bride and groom in history who got to eat on our wedding day!

The best part, though, was the trays of food we were able to take home with us at the end of the night. After months of planning our wedding, we are too exhausted to cook, so the leftovers are much appreciated.

Seriously, ask for the risotto cakes. They are amazing.

One word- AMAZING! Listen, I am not an easy person when it comes to event planning and attention details. I like things a certain way and I expect things to be perfect. Why not, I am paying for it. Well Dunn and Yulia exceeded my expectations a 1000%. I cannot rave enough about her professionalism, her ability to change things at the drop of a hat, her graciousness and kindness and her ability to put on a GREAT event. If you are looking, check out Well Dunn. You wont be disappointed.

Well Dunn did a fabulous job on the day of my wedding. The food was AMAZING and the wait staff was impeccable. Unfortunately, the days leading up to and those after were not as wonderful. I often found myself asking for things repeatedly (seating arrangement layout, menu revisions, etc) before the wedding and am STILL asking for things after. There was a fairly significant discrepancy between what we were told our final bill would be and what it actually was (we didn’t add anything or have extra guests) and I’ve been asking Well Dunn to resolve this for almost a month now. It's just so nfortunate that what I’ll remember about this company .
