Better Events Catering

It was a pleasure working with Better Events. The set-up, the food, the service and attention to detail were excellent.

Roberto Torres of Better Events was a joy to work with from the start. He is friendly and personable and really makes you feel comfortable and at ease. He is an expert in his field and can really help navigate other aspects of your event as well. Not to mention his food is all top rate!On the night of our wedding, his daughter, Alejandra was a star! She managed our event and could not have attended to our needs any better! She was constantly refilling the glasses at the head table and making sure we were ok. Everything went off without a hitch; the guests loved the food and I could not have been more pleased.

Better Events truly made our daughter's Wedding Day "Better". We had a great venue, a beautiful day and as far as we are concerned, the best catering team our money could have paid for. Roberto and his staff made us feel special from the first meeting when we went for a tasting and to make selections for our dinner and that caring was carried through the entire event from Coctail Hour service, Dinner and dessert. There were absolutely no shortcuts taken and no matter what the question, Roberto and his team had the "right answer". They took complete charge of everything relating to the event and were on top of it from start to finish and made sure that everything was right. The Servers and Bartending staff did an excellent job taking care of over 125 guests, including the Wedding Party. We cannot speak highly enough of the services we were provided and truly appreciate all the "extra" assistance (delivering beverages, Photo Frames, Place Card holders/Name Tags, etc.) that were not part of their package. If you want a great event catered by a wonderful staff of professionals, go no further than Better Events.

Roberto and the team at Better Events could not have done more to make my day perfect! The tables were set perfectly, the food was excellent, and they executed the evening without a hitch! We had an amazing night, and our guests keep talking about how good the food was!!

Better Events catered our wedding and did an amazing job. They went over every detail (including things we didn't even know to ask about) and made us very comfortable with putting them in charge of the flow of the day. The food was fantastic; usually you never food as good as what you see in tastings, but we got exactly what we paid for along with a high level of professionalism. Highly recommend Better Events for any occasion; ask for Roberto.

Better Events Catering had my wife and I from the very second we sat down for our tasting. The professionalism and willingness to help us with our selections was unparalleled. As my wife and I had a subtle Spanish theme to our wedding Better Events took that into account and went as far as to make us sangria, which turned out to be one of the biggest hits during the reception and cocktail hour. The easiest way to describe how all of our guests enjoyed the food is to say that all of the plates were completely clean by the time we made our rounds to see everyone. Not to mention I've been told before that the bride and groom generally don't eat at their reception. In my case this was completely untrue because I could not make myself leave my table without finishing the wonderful meal that they prepared. The service was amazing. Our guests and ourselves go the same attention that we received when we did the original tasting.If your looking for a caterer I would recommend going to their tasting and trying them out first hand. I have no doubts that after you try out the food that they can provide you will end up choosing them for your wedding as well.

Better Events made our wedding day incredibly special. We got married at the Old Town Hall in the City of Fairfax. The hall looked beautiful and it was all because of Better Events. The chair covers, table clothes, place settings looked elegant. The servers and staff were professional and friendly. The food looked and tasted amazing- so many compliments from our guests. We'd especially like to thank Roberto for helping us through this process, responding to all the emails, calls, questions and throwing us an amazing party.

Roberto and his staff were professional in every sense of the word.I would recommend them umreservedly.Better Events is the best.

Roberto and his staff not only met but exceeded our expectations in the planning, preparation and presentation for my daughter's wedding reception. Throughout the planning when any questions came up, the response was quick and accommodating. From beginning to the end, totally professional in every way. The food was fantastic, as was the service. These people know how to do it right! I would recommend Better Events Catering to anyone in need of a caterer, whatever the occasion. Truly a pleasure to work with. We couldn't be happier. Well done!!!!

Better Events went above and beyond in helping us plan our wedding reception. They were extremely reliable, flexible and professional and we could not be happier with the outcome of the event. Thank you!!

Better Events Catering (BEC) catered our cocktail hour and wedding reception. Roberto and his staff were wonderful. They paid attention to every detail that a bride and groom could ask for. Roberto was always responsive to all communications and was extremely professional at all times. He even met with us a month before the wedding at the venue to ensure that he understood all the details. There were a few things that came up before the wedding and BEC was able to cater to things that we didn't think of - they were extremely flexible. Not only did we enjoy ourselves, but all of our guests raved about the delicious food and the service/attention that Roberto and his staff provided. We received multiple inquiries about BEC, in which we did not hesitate to provide our guests their information. Thank you BEC! You made our wedding day an unforgettable one. We hope to see you again at a future event!-- Chi and Matt

Our family would like to thank you for catering our daughter’s wedding reception. We were so pleased with the quality of service, the presentation, and the food. We received so many compliments on everything! You did such an amazing job! For myself, I have to say the crepes were delicious! Unfortunately I was only able to sample one blueberry one and wished I could have tried all the different flavors. It was also a favorite of my entire family! I also have to say that I thought the paella was actually BETTER than at the tasting. Not sure how that happened, but it was delicious. And I still am amazed at whoever does your sushi. It was delicious and so beautifully presented at the tasting and equally as delicious and well presented at the buffet. Whoever you have is a gem! Your servers were wonderful and I was so happy to see the endless stream of appetizers being served to our guests during the cocktail hour! Again, I can’t thank you enough for being so understanding, responding to all our inquiries and last minute “fixes”, and going that “extra” mile to make things work! Our guests really enjoyed the servers coming out in a line to the “Be Our Guest” song, and it made them feel like they were at the Disney wedding. I’ve tried to spread the word about your catering services and I can’t wait until I have the opportunity to work with you again!

I can not express how happy I was with this Catering service. Roberto was highly recommended to us for my daughter's farm wedding in Virginia Wine Country by two different friends whose opinions I highly valued. Roberto is the most professional, knowledgeable reliable person you can deal with. He is extremely responsive and listens to you and your ideas and follows through. The venue was SilverBrook Farm B&B in Purcellville, probably the most beautiful, most stunning wedding site for those who are looking for romantic, dream like wedding overlooking blue ridge mountains. Scultpture Gardens, Chandeliers, beautiful barns, and chess garden.... Its a place you will never forget. After a number of interviews with different caterers and obtaining prices, Better Events was the most reasonable caterer for our venue. They provided all the rentals,servers, appetizers (absolutely delicious and abundant)and were responsible for serving the dinner which was provided by Johnny Kabob (the most outstanding dinner- BBQ on the site, Chicken Kabob, Salmon Kabob, Lamb and Rice, Walnut and pomegranate stew, etc.,). Better Events was responsible for the setup and the clean up and I was so amazed by the level of professionalisam of their staff. They were so friendly and helpful and wanted to make sure everyone is having a good time. Roberto and his staff are the greatest. You will not be disappointed by the service you will receive. Thank you Roberto for making our event so memorable.

Roberto Torres and his staff did a phenomenal job and helped to make our daughter's wedding day simply perfect! From the start, Roberto was kind and accommodating. He never made us feel like we were asking a silly question. His communication to us was prompt and informative. The tasting session was professional, full of choices, and delicious. He offered us some wonderful extras that really added to our package. Roberto's staff was kind and pleasant to us and to our guests. After the wedding ceremony was over, Roberto and his staff moved the chairs away and moved the tables into place, efficiently and at no extra cost to us. As for the food at the wedding, it was WONDERFUL, FABULOUS, DELICIOUS!! We had several guests comment on how great the food was. Many thanks to all of you at Better Events Catering for helping to make this most important day for our family a truly memorable one. I would recommend Better Events Catering to anyone, anywhere, for any occasion!

Better Events catered our wedding. My husband and I did a lot of research to find a reputable caterer. We were fortunate to have found Better Events. From the very beginning of the tasting up to the end of the reception they did a fabulous job. The staff was very professional and the food was excellent. Their prices are competitive and well worth the investment. We tried other caterersbut found them to be overpriced and their food was of low quality. Better Events price, quality of food and selection were the main reasons we chose them. The attention and service by the staff during the reception was outstanding. Our event was a success thanks to the experience and ideas by Mr. Torres. We felt comfortable that he would take care of us and not let us down and he definitely did not disappoint us. He helped us throughout the planning of the wedding and was always there when we needed his service. Like many couples looking to wed,we wanted to avoid the horror stories of bad food or service and that’s why we did a lot of research in finding a caterer who would make our special day a success. Mr. Torres and his staff at Better Events made sure our wedding day was special. We changed the size of our tables and the room layout shortly before our wedding and Mr. Torres quickly accommodated our request. We highly recommend Better Events for a successful wedding.

The food is one of the main characteristics of a wedding that guests will remember in the weeks and months after the big day. Knowing this, we looked into a long list of caterer options while planning our wedding, and after meeting with several, our decision was clear the afternoon that we met with Better Events. From food quality, to presentation, to wait staff, Better Events does a great job making sure that guests will rave about the your wedding dinner, all for a very reasonable cost.The team at Better Events has obviously been catering weddings for years, as they were able to help us think through all the best options for our big day, yet never push us towards one option over another. After contacting Better Events, we were invited to a tasting event with several other customers on a Sunday afternoon, and ended up eating enough food for lunch, dinner, and even dessert! We sampled nearly all of their appetizer and dinner options, and were able to get a good sense of their preparation and presentation skills. We were highly impressed. They even provided us pens and paper to take notes and collaborate on what would be right for our wedding. They answered all of our questions, personally worked with us on food options for the wedding, and discussed the details of the event at length with us. We met with Roberto, who personally worked with us on all subsequent decisions leading up to the big day, and personally oversaw the staff at our reception. We were most impressed by his knowledge and advice, his ability to accommodate, and his thoughtfulness throughout the entire planning process. Just one example of this thoughtfulness was reflected in their offering Peruvian mashed potatoes as one of the potato options for our Mashed Potato martini bar – as these are purple in color, which matched our purple wedding theme. The caterer is also responsible for a substantial amount of the logistical planning, including table arrangements, much of the event timing, and other details. They made it look simple, even though it's far from simple! Better Events had the best food we tasted, had the right personality and presentation, and were actually more cost effective than the majority of other caterers we considered.We ended up choosing Better Events to cater the rehearsal dinner as well as the wedding. Both meals were great successes and received numerous compliments by our guests. The entire team was professional, polite, flexible, and very friendly. The food both nights was absolutely fantastic. We'd highly recommend Roberto and Better Events for any wedding or other catered event, and we're sure your guests will be raving about the food and the service!

Roberto Torres and Better Events Catering catered our daughter’s and son-in-law’s reception. The excellent quality of the food along with Better Events reasonable pricing were key factors in our selection. Our buffet menu included three entrees (beef tenderloin, chicken piccata, and salmon). The food was prepared to perfection and most delicious and our guests raved about their meal. Roberto provided ample amounts of food and the presentation was beautiful. We were very impressed with the outstanding service our guests received at the reception. Roberto and his staff were very pleasant and helpful to work with throughout the planning process and were always responsive to our needs. We highly recommend Better Events Catering.

Better Events Catering offered a phenomenal experience. From the first tasting to the end of the reception was first class. We were privileged to have Roberto personally attend the night of the reception. He and his staff provided our guest with a delicious dinner and flawless service. They were extremely courteous and professional. If you have the opportunity to use Better Events Catering you are in for a fantastic experience. I would definitely refer Better Events to all my friends.Colleen S.

Roberto and his staff at Better Events are VERY professional and very kind. They made our day run smoothly and we did not have any disasters (that I am aware of). Working with Roberto was so easy and he had SO much experience and he thought of things that I had not thought of covering. The food was great and we had an awesome spread of appetizers for our cocktail hour. We interviewed 5 different catering companies and Roberto at Better Events was far superior to the others. We were able to see the different table setups that were available and on the day of our wedding everything looked just as we had seen at his warehouse - they will set it up just as you have requested so you can see what it will look like. Thank you Roberto and Better Events!!!

Better Events catered both our reheasal dinner (for 90 people) and our wedding (for 150). It was important to us that both events have a very different feel, and Better Events totally got that. You never would have known that it was the same company that did both, except that the quality of food and service and the reliability were equally excellent both times. Throughout the planning process, Better Events went out of their way to be of service to us, and they were always incredibly reliable and responsive. One of the many examples of them going the extra mile for us was that they arranged a second full tasting AFTER we had already signed them as our caterer so that my parents could do a tasting while they were in town. The food was excellent at both events, and we had a ton of options to choose from - way more than other caterers we looked into. Roberto also suggested some really nice touches that we never would have thought of, such as a passed juice to be ready for the guests immediately after our outdoor June (hot) ceremony. I HIGHLY recommend this company - I can't imagine better food or service at any price (and he was very reasonable, too!)
