Amphora Catering

The food was delicious. We had a basic buffet of chicken, salad, potatoes, and green beans. The staff was nice, prompt, professional and very fast with setup and take down. I would highly recommend using this vendor for events.

We really enjoyed having amphora cater our wedding. The food was delicious at the tasting and I think it was just as good at the wedding (although, I didn't get to eat too much of it- being the bride). We were a little disappointed in the amount of food at the wedding as well as that plates on the table weren't cleared, and stations weren't cleared as quickly as I would have liked. Additionally, the consultant we were initially working with left the company and no one called to tell us which was little frustrating. It felt a little turned off by a few of the interactions I had with the consultant who was then assigned to us, but in the end he made me feel very confident in Amphora's ability to handle all of our needs.

Amphora did a great job on our cake! We had a four-tier cake with two flavors - a lemon flavor and red velvet. Both were fantastic - they actually were better the night of the wedding than at the tasting, which is rare. We went with simple buttercream frosting with Swiss dots and it looked beautiful on top of the great taste. Amphora's prices were far better than many competitors, and their service was exceptional. We had a bizarrely tight timeline leading up to the wedding and they made multiple accommodations for us. My advice: look no further than Amphora bakery for your wedding cake.

We are still getting compliments on our wedding food and even more compliments on our wedding cake. We've had a few people tell us it was the best wedding food they've ever had and that the cake was amazing. We couldn't have been happier with the service. From the tasting to the end of our reception, we were treated so well and the staff was always professional as well as very nice. They even plated food for my elderly grandmother who was having a hard time moving around. They came to ask her what she wanted on her plate and to drink. In addition to all of this, they were wonderful with gently keeping us on schedule and making sure we had opportunities to eat. This was a huge blessing! Thank you so much Amphora!

We used Amphora for catering and dessert at my wedding. They were absolutely amazing and so easy to work with. I started out working with Courtney (who was great) who helped me pick all of the linens, china, food, decorations etc. Unfortunately, about 3 months prior to the wedding she had to leave her job to take care of her family. At first I was so nervous/terrified since she had gone into SO much detail with me and knew everything about my wedding and had helped to bring so many other thoughts into the planning process. Then . . . .Marcelo became our coordinator and the rest is history! He did an absolutely PERFECT job before, during and after our wedding day. He hit the ground running! I don't feel like they missed a beat between the transition from Courtney to Marcelo, I was so impressed. Everyone mentioned how great the food was and that was very important to my parents and I. in addition to the taste, the presentation of the food is what makes Amphora unique. They do not just throw a bunch of food on a plate! It is like an art to the chef and the different coordinators. I found that to be what set them apart from the other caterers that we met with. Everything went so smoothly on the day of, I hadn't been physically able to eat for days before my wedding (I am crazy/nervous, Type A) and I literally think the reception dinner saved my life! In addition to amazing presentation and taste. Thank you to Marcelo, Courtney and Angela at Amphora!!!

What I liked about Amphora Bakery was that you could view their standard array of (beautifully decorated) cakes online and view pricing for them, as well. You can place orders online, but they will call to verify before filling them. If you order the standard array of cakes and other pastries, you don't need to give but a few days. Speaking on the phone to sales staff that didn't sound too sure of what they were doing made me nervous that I was going to pick up my cake find out it was something else entirely. My advice is, since there are reviews where people got something other than what they were expecting (particularly wedding cakes) is that you order everything in person and get a real sense of what they offer. With that said, our order was avaialble on time (we were even allowed to push up the pick up time), the cake looked beautiful, and tasted delicious. I would definitely recommend their services as a baker (at least at the Herndon location, which is where we went), but to be on the safe side, visit the location. They have the cake factory right on site and plenty of beautiful looking cakes to select from.

I have had many cakes from the Amphora before, so we did not look anywhere else for a wedding cake, as all our past experiences were both beautiful and delicious. The 5 tier cake for 200 for our daughter's reception was gorgeous and delicious. Not the least expensive, but I knew I would be really happy with the cake and that was important. I've been to too many weddings where the cake looked lovely , but tasted like sawdust. I knew this would not be a worry with a cake from the Amphora. It was wonderful, and we got lots of positive feedback.

All I wanted was pizza for our wedding. I went to so many caterers and they'd all do some weird version, but Amphora really stepped up to the plate. Beautifully presented on marble slabs, they made 6 amazing kinds of pizza (Seafood was to die for), and exceeded my expectations. The one thing I'd say is that they didn't have the food ready right away, which is why I didn't give them 5 stars across the board, but they are an exceptional caterer and I really recommend them. They work hard so that you get exactly what you want.

Amphora is above all elegant. We were actually at the Amphora Diner for the reception (the list has it but wont allow me to add it to my vendor list!) Even as a diner, this venue was nostalgic, fun and perfect for an elegant evening. The staff was perfect and there for any of the guests who needed anything and the manager was flexible (giving us more space than we originally asked for) to accommodate us last minute! The food was wonderful and they worked hand in hand with the bakery to make sure our cake was there and placed perfectly.

I loved my wedding cake and Groom's cake! They were both amazing. The taste is fantastic and the cost is great too. I went to 5 other bakers adn Amphora had the most "fancy" flavors but the most resonable price. I would highly recommend them to anybody!!!

Amphora Bakery was the most delicious bakery ever. The provided the prettiest cake to go along with my "Fall Wedding" theme. I can not wait for our anniversary to come around so I can relive the moment.

Amphora was amazing! The food and cake tasted devine... That was really important to me for my wedding. I wanted tasty food! It was certainly expensive though, but I believe that you will find that with any caterer. The only real problem we had was getting in touch with them sometimes before the wedding. But overall, they were very professional and the tasting process was soooo much fun!

All I can say is YUM!!! The cake was exactly what we wanted and it looked amazing! The guests raved on how good it tasted. The cupcakes were also a big hit!! They were recommended by several friends and they certainly are worth it.

Amphora Catering did an extraordinary job for our daughter’s wedding reception. The appetizers, sit down meal, and cake were exceptional and the wait staff and service was superb. Angela and the catering team were great to work with. They helped us plan the event from beginning to end and no detail was overlooked. Simply stated, everything was perfect. The quality of food, quality of service, customer service, flexibility, and value were all exceptional. We will definitely use Amphora Catering for other events and highly recommend them.

Great food, wonderfully attentive service during the reception, very accommodating (they made gluten free food on top of the other stuff), and very patient - we changed our minds about the food about 10 times but they always came up with nice solutions. In the end, everyone loved the food and the way it was presented. I'd order from Amphora again any time.

Absolutely THRILLED with Amphora cakes! When husband and I came in for our initial tasting, we were seated in a beautiful tasting area and given an assortment of their most popular cakes (we didn't have anything specific in mind when we came in). The cakes were DELICIOUS - picking one was no easy task! The coordinator spoke with us about the vibe we were looking for and had us react to pictures of past cakes they've done. We asked for a mix of a few different cakes we saw, and Amphora was very flexible and happy to take care of it for us. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I had been meaning to give them a call and make sure everything was on track. It kept slipping my mind, but no worries - I was called a week ahead of time to review the contract we'd signed a few months earlier and make sure nothing had changed. On the day of the wedding we didn't have to worry about a single thing. It was delivered on time, looked gorgeous, and tasted AMAZING (none of those dry nasty fondant cakes you get at other bakeries!) Everyone told us the cake was delicious. I'll definitely be buying a fresh amaretto buttercream cake every year on our anniversary :) Amphora was reasonably priced, made delicious cakes, treated us like clients and not cattle (some bakeries herd you around during their 'open house' and won't take one-on-one appointments! What is that?!) Not to mention we've been eating their cakes for years at birthday parties. I would absolutely go with them again and highly recommend them to other brides. By the way, save yourself the money and don't get the fondant cake. The buttercream frosting comes out looking so smooth and beautiful and tastes MUCh better!

Our initial meeting with Amphora Bakery was easy and relaxing. They were able to take our style and make the most beautiful wedding cake. The cake was delivered on time and we were amazed by the detailed piping and beautiful gum paste flowers. The colors, style, and detail were absolutely PERFECT!!!

The cake was gorgeous and tasted amazing! I wasn't too excited about the cake tasting process (we were double booked) but once I tasted the cake I knew we had chosen the right place. Most details were coordinated with my reception place so I didn't have to do much more beyond just paying for the cake (full payment required) after we made our decision. I've got so many compliments on the cake, both the design and taste on my wedding day. Amphora bakery gave me exactly what I wanted!

They were amazing, everything was perfect. The food was really really good, and the cake..yummy!! It was very easy to work with them, they were very professional and aware

This special day for my wife and I turned out to be truly spectacular, I cannot say enough about Amphora Wedding’s catering team and the way they handled the entire event from beginning to end. All of the small details of planning our amazing day were taken care of; they were professional, and always available for our questions and last minute changes. The final presentation was so beautiful, and the food excellent! Our wedding cake was delicious and very fresh, made from scratch!!! We highly recommend Amphora's Wedding-Catering team.
