Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Catering

In Washington, DC: Per-head quotes across this region are not comparable until the bottom of the page is written out, because the tax line depends on which of the three jurisdictions your venue sits in and the service charge is set by the caterer on top of it. Get both in writing before you weigh a District hotel against a Loudoun farm. Distance is the other variable. The twelve caterers listed here cluster in Alexandria, Gaithersburg, Sterling and Beltsville, which is convenient for a ceremony in town and a different conversation entirely for one in Middleburg, Nokesville or Aquasco, sometimes with a staffing minimum attached to the travel. Blank-slate venues out west often have no kitchen at all beyond a prep tent, so ask what the caterer needs on site, who supplies it, and what that adds. A large share of your guests will be traveling in, so hold your final headcount deadline against your RSVP timeline rather than the other way around.
