A Sharper Palate Catering & Events

We had the pleasure of working with A Sharper Palate, specially Leslie, for our June 2026 wedding in Richmond, VA. Our goal for our menu was to include some unique, yet universally pleasing food, during our big day and ASP delivered! The chef even went out of his way to honor my time in Copenhagen with his rendition of a Danish Smørrebrød. Through the tasting, planning, and final execution on the big day- we wanted to extend a big thank you to the full ASP who really came through for us. Additionally, the folks working our event were the absolute best- we shared laughs, memories, and many congratulations throughout the night. They were top tier, professional, and such a lively surprise. I couldn’t have asked for a better day. We are so appreciative of A Sharper Palate and thank you, especially, to Leslie! Our wedding weekend was that much more memorable because of you!

A Sharper Palate was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I have never been to a wedding before where the food was this good, and I don’t think I’m biased. Kristen is a bad ass and kept everything organized to the letter. Highly, highly recommend, and I will definitely be using them again in the future!

I worked with Jagger at Sharper Palate when we were searching for a caterer for our wedding. I also asked a few friends around town who are in the events and wedding industry if Sharper Palate was as good as they seemed, and all of the feedback was overwhelmingly positive; the general feedback was you will get exceptional service and they are pros (and, the food is amazing). But, my first interaction with Sharper Palate's customer service was with Tina, who handles accounts and payments. She happened to answer the phone that day and had such a kind disposition. She answered my questions and helped ensure my request was received for a follow up call from the catering manager. When Jagger contacted me he was knowledgeable, prepared, and extremely patient considering all of my questions. We had multiple conversations over email and on the phone, and he provided me with two customized quotes out of those conversations. In the end, the groom and I had to make some tough decisions about our wedding day catering style versus number of guests we could afford to feed but wanted to have at our wedding. We made the tough choice to forgo working with Sharper Palate, but it had everything to do with our own budgeting choices and nothing to do with the value and level of service provided by A Sharper Palate. Compared to other caterers, they were right in line with pricing, but also seemed to have an edge up on the level of service we were going to receive and for a competitive and fair price; the staff they were providing for our event would have ensured quality and efficient service, and compared to other caterers the line item for staff was perfectly reasonable. Overall, I was so grateful for their time and attention during planning that writing this review was the least I could do since we had to forgo our original catering plan. If you choose A Sharper Palate your event will be well-staffed and you will receive thorough and tailored communication.

A Sharper Palate catered our Rehearsal Dinner last night at Fairview Farms and did a spectacular job! Carter was wonderful to work with and this was by far the easiest event I’ve ever managed. Friendly, professional and so nice, Carter went above and beyond and I just got to sit back and enjoy a ton of praise for barely lifting a finger. The food was delicious and plentiful and the venue looked beautiful! Thank you so much for doing all the hard work, everything was wonderful!

This talented catering team transformed this intimate back porch reception into an elegant dining experience. Each course was divine and their staff made sure everyone (including my wedding photography team) was served and never ran out of water. The Saffron Risotto and Lamb were out of this world amazing!! I was also impressed they adapted their workflow and prep work to use the kitchen at Georgetown Crest (The bride’s family home). Using someone else’s space and ovens can be tricky and this team just blew us away!!
