We used Catering by Uptown for our wedding and they were just fantastic. They covered the location, linens, chairs, everything you need for a wedding. They have a great set of coordinators that will help every step of the way. The site was great, the food was fantastic and they even let me swap out their normal beer selection for some personal favorites. They are definitely one of the best deals out there that we found when looking for a wedding location and catering. We can't say enough good things about them!

We had our wedding at the Anchor Inn last year and everything was done by Catering by Uptown! I had read some wonderful reviews on Wedding Wire and decided to give this company a try. It was a truly wonderful day for my husband and I and all of our guests. Everyone keeps telling me how good the food was. They even ran out to get soup for our elderly grandfather at the last minute. I know our guests definitely loved the open bar and the bartenders were great. They hung up lights that I requested and the decor was perfect. The wedding coordinator was so helpful both before and the day of the wedding. We truly enjoyed working with Catering by Uptown and would definitely use them again. I tell everyone that our wedding was just so easy to plan and that's mainly because of CBU. The sites they offer for weddings are all gorgeous too, it was hard to pick which one we wanted!

This was the actual email that I sent Rob and Jeff from Catering by Uptown: Rob and Jeff, Wow. I don't even know where to begin, and I don't think there are enough words in the dictionary to describe how happy I am to have chosen Catering by Uptown to cater our wedding. Everything was absolutely PERFECT! The food was DELICIOUS!!!! (All caps and exclamation points don't even do it justice!); the servers and bartenders were incredibly professional, prompt, and sooooo nice; Peter was the nicest person to work with and so unbelievably helpful; the linens and china were absolutely stunning; the cake was amazing and delicious; everything was just wonderful! I don't even feel like I am doing your company justice right now! I cannot express how absolutely grateful I am for all of your hard work and dedication to your clients. I could not be happier with your service, and I will DEFINITELY recommend Catering by Uptown to all my engaged friends. You can also expect glowing reviews on Yelp and Wedding Wire :) Thank you so very much for making our wedding absolutely perfect!

I found Catering by Uptown as one of the best caterers voted on The Knot. To our surprise, The Villa is conveniently located 2mins from our house. We weren't blown away by the location (wasn't our style), and The Flag House was recommended. We fell in love immediately, our salesman (Ray) helped us to envision the ceremony outside, and the reception inside. We booked it more than 1 year in advance. As time drew near, we were able to have all of our questions answered (even though some were listed on our personalized website), and things went smoothly. Simply put, our wedding was magical. The weather and atmosphere blew everyone away! The only complaint (if you even want to complain), was there was too much food...not that it wasn't good...our guests wished they had enough room in their stomachs for more! Our day of coordinator, Jeff was very professional, and seemed to enjoy himself as well. I would highly recommend to any couple that would like to take the stress out of wedding planning, and would like to get the exact bang for their bucks ($$$). Thank you Catering by Uptown, you exceeded my expectations of a wedding!

I contacted them 3 times (once by email and twice by phone) before anyone called me back. I was given very minimal information, but was asked for a budget and number of people and two days later, I got a quote. Since other catering companies quoted us less and because I noticed we had the options of serving crab cakes and filet mignon in the quote we had received, I wrote back and asked whether there was any flexibility in setting the menu in order to reduce the cost (note: I was not asking to keep the same menu for a cheaper price, I was inquiring whether there was any flexibility to personalize the menu). Here is the word-for-word email I received in response from Ashley: "I talked with my boss and he said the amount that I had given you was the best we could do." When I emailed back to ask for more information about what goes into the price and how their catering model works (because I was foolishly still hopeful they would work out), I received no response. I pretty quickly got over it and moved along to Catering by Seasons, who were attentive and very happy to work with us to create a personalized menu and answer any questions we had (and we had a beautiful wedding thanks to them!). We ended up paying a similar rate to what we were quoted by Catering by Uptown, but felt so much better about it because they actually acted as though they cared. I guess take-home point: If you don't care about any sort of personalized attention or professionalism, this catering company is fine. But if you do, you can certainly do better. Very disappointing!

I was married at Waverly Mansion on Friday July 3rd and wanted to share my experience with people who are interested in using Catering by Uptown. Positive - 1. My wedding coordinator Takasha was amazing! I may have given this review 3 stars if it was not for her. You are put in touch with your coordinator 10 days before your wedding, and she made sure to take care of everything from that point on. The wedding venue looked amazing the day of the wedding, the wedding went smoothly, and she made sure that she and the entire staff at Waverly Mansion (who were all so attentive and very friendly) got myself, my family, and all of my guests anything they needed. If you can request a coordinator, request her! 2. Food - The food was delicious. I usually do not like wedding food, but the appetizers were tasty and the dinner did not disappoint. 3. Venue- Waverly Mansion is beautiful, clean, and well kept. Make sure you have air conditioning if you sweat easily, have a big party, and/or are having an event during the warm months. Negatives - I must say that overall I was disappointed with the staff that I needed to speak to prior to being able to talk with Takasha my coordinator. When you call the office you are placed on the phone with a different person each time who helps you as much as they can depending on the mood they are in for the day. I often felt that they became easily frustrated with me including a manager I even spoke to. I was hoping that I could be treated fairly since I was a paying customer and an eager bride, but I guess it doesn't always happen. Please make sure you get everything in writing here. They might say that they are writing something on your online profile, but request it in an email instead. Things that were promised to me were not upheld even after they were discussed three times, until I was able to discuss them with my wedding coordinator.

The Waverly Mansion venue is perfect, Catering by Uptown was a disaster. I am absolutely astonished Catering by Uptown has so many positive reviews throughout the internet. I signed a contract with them in June 2014 for my wedding in May 2015. The planning team has been unhelpful, disorganized and frustrating since the first time I contacted them after signing the contract all the way through the wedding day. I would NOT RECOMMEND this company as a full service wedding caterer to anyone. To see my full length review - go here: docs.google.com/document…

I was VERY disappointed with uptown caterers. I used them for a party at my house. They forgot one of the main courses and there was a big difference between the estimate and my final bill. They were very misleading. The supervisor they provided us with was extremely unprofessional. I highly do not recommend using them, there are so many other better options out there!

Possibly the worst experience I've ever had. I wish I could jump back in time and save all the time, energy, and money I wasted on this place. They are the worst type of people. They were so unbelievably rude and condescending. When they were trying to sell me the package they were super attentive and told me not to worry about a thing. Skip forward to my wedding day after the mind numbing frustration of the planning phase. They had no idea what I wanted even though I went through everything with the planner the previous day. I took multiple days off to address issues only to be turned away multiple times. Tried to call several times as well but ended up repeating myself over and over again after being put on hold for long periods of time without any resolution to any of the issues that they were causing. I thought after all the hassle they put us through they would finally come through on the day of the wedding but they let us down over and over again. Besides throwing a tantrum with the wait staff in front of our guests at the very beginning of the reception, the planner I had the day of the wedding was not around to help at all. Our family and friends stepped in and helped get people food when they denied our guests food early on, and get the food that was supposed to be out but was not, and direct our guests when they needed something. It was so frustrating to go through this whole experience. On top of everything else, a few weeks later I got an e-mail from them that ended up being a virus. So much for privacy, I saw multiple e-mail addresses from people I knew as I'm sure they saw mine. I would never recommend this place or anyone working here to anyone. Bunch of slacking scammers. Save your time and money go somewhere else.

Ahhhh wedding food. How does one serve 200 people the exact same meal of meat and vegetables, all at the same time, AND at the perfect temperature and optimal level of "done"ness? I don't think Catering by Uptown knows the answer to this question. Does anyone? The nature of what the catering business is seems tough. If this food had been served to me at a restaurant, I would probably give it two stars. This was not a restaurant though and the food was decent. The steak was pretty good and given what they had to accomplish, I think overall they did a fine job.

My inquiries were first answered by Jeff and the first sentence in his email to me was "I can't believe I'm getting so much for this price" and he couldn't have been more correct. From the moment we contracted with Uptown their attention to detail and personalization was great. I loved how easy they made everything with the setup on their website, it was great. The day of the wedding was no different. When I walked into the reception area and saw how beautiful everything was set up I was in awe. The food tasted as good as the day I had the private tasting. My day of coordinator was there at all times to make sure everything was perfect (and it was). If you're looking for a caterer who pays attention to detail and wants to ensure you have your dream wedding Catering by Uptown is the way to go.

I have not contracted with this catering company personally, but have been to two weddings this year where Uptown has catered and I have been extremely disappointed as a guest. My husband and I are both vegetarian, so at both weddings have requested the vegetarian option. What makes up the main course? Nothing more than removing the protein from the plate (fish and steak for example) and replacing it with more vegetables of the same variety that are already on the plate along with marinara sauce. This is a pathetic attempt at a vegetarian plate. At least replace the protein with different vegetables and add on some starch - rice/pasta (being the most basic). Perhaps it is on the host who contracts with the catering company to inquire as to what the vegetarian option is, but ultimately it falls on the catering company in my opinion since they actually make the food and the menus. It's not like having a vegetarian option is a new and revolutionary thing. Unfortunately, their idea of what to serve for this is boring, repetitive, and bland.

In response to an earlier review that I wrote: The owner of Uptown did reach out to me to apologize for the behavior of his staff. I appreciated his integrity and amend my review to include this fact. Give them a chance- I'm sure one bad apple hasn't spoiled the barrel.

Please AVOID dealing with these people...they are THIEVES! We hired them to cater our Christmas party back in December....and paid them up front the sum of $5,100.00 a few days before our event. (Mind you, we had already rented a venue, hired an LA musician, reserved a casino event company and had our invitations sent out). Wouldn't you know, the weather forecast is calling for snow. Great. Not only does everyone start to overreact and fear an ice storm is on the way, the owner Rob comes to my place of business THE DAY BEFORE our event and tries to get us to cancel...even threatening to keep our money if we didn't. He made up some BS story that he would have to put up the employees in RV's at the venue so they wouldn't risk driving in the snow, and it would be at his expense. Ha. What a crock. (I actually drove by the venue THAT EVENING and saw NO RV's anywhere....liar) I said, fine, we are still not cancelling. He was such a rude and pompous a$$ at this point, obviously annoyed that we were going to make him work in the snow. We all got the feeling he made absolutely NO preparations for our event and he knew all along he wasn't going to do it. We also feel they are in cahoots with the venue (Newton White Mansion) as they are on their preferred caterers list. To make a long story short, the Newton White Mansion emailed me the next morning, the day of our event, to say they were cancelling our party due to weather (WHICH WASN'T EVEN BAD!!!!). How convenient. So now it left us in a bad situation, as our musician was already on his flight, everyone RSVP'd that they were coming and now the venue and caterer cancel on us! Talking to them both was very upsetting, as neither one of them showed any bit of compassion to our plight, and basically had an F-you attitude. I would NEVER, EVER recommend doing business with these people. EVER! VERY UNETHICAL. If they were an honorable, decent business, they would have refunded us 100% due to circumstances...but I guess they are hard up for money, so they had to steal ours. WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED ONE PENNY OF OUR $5,100.00!!! Funny thing, when I was returning all of the liquor I purchased for the bar back to Costco, the lady asked why, I told her what Catering by Uptown did, and she said she heard the same thing about them, that they were a 'bad company'...I will continue to spread the word about these shysters. If I could give them zero stars, I would! Karma is coming.... (Oh, we ended up having our party at the Old Bowie Town Grill last minute. The owner was extremely accommodating and hospitable. The casino company was all set up by the time everyone arrived and the musician had a nice stage to perform on. It turned out better than any planned party could have!)

My new husband and I just shared our special day with our most loved at uptown catering's venue Celebrations at the Bay and everything was spectacular!! Throughout the planning process the uptown staff was very helpful and supportive. Over the past week and a half our family and friends cannot stop raving about all aspects. Food was incredible, staff was nice, I am even getting compliments on those "special touches" which the venue set up and put together for us: ) if you are looking for a company you can trust fully with you're big day and truly enjoy yourself uptown and in particular celebrations is the way to go!!

(I'm very surprised to see such BAD reviews, but...) Catering by Uptown catered the last two 'I DO' Brunch events that I attended. I can't think of anything that they served -- from breads to entrée -- that I didn't inhale on site. If you're planning a special event (i.e., wedding reception), they should be in your Top 5 list of places to call.

Catering by Uptown did an amazing job at my wedding. From the food and cake tasting, menu planning, day of coordination and service they were top notch. The food was delicious and served quickly and elegantly. Their wait staff went out of their way to make sure every guest and the bride and groom had everything they needed. Our head server even stood by during our photo session to make sure we enjoyed cocktails and the delicious appetizers in between pictures. I highly recommend them for any special event!!
