Daren P. Sent on 04/17/2024Incredible service and food
It was such an incredible experience working with Corcoran from the beginning through the end of wedding day. So many of our guests told us how fantastic the food was. And it really was. The presentation alone was gorgeous. We loved everything from the appetizers through to the wedding cake. The 2 signature cocktails we selected were perfectly done. Corcoran staff were so kind and attentive. We are so lucky to have found Corcoran and to work with them. They really made our day memorable and special. -

Our daughter was married at the DAR National Headquarters and Corcoran was our caterer. You cannot find better people to work with than the people who run and serve this company. Emelie Corcoran is absolutely the best coordinator for food, decor and service in the DC area. She and her team worked with us from crystalizing our vision for the event to the final clean up. The staff was truly amazing, the food was fantastic, the decor was spectacular the service efficient, professional and full of joy. The extensive time taken to formulate the menu, tasting the delicious food, choosing tableware and table covering, coordinating the set up and "re-set up," and simply executing the plan was easy and extraordinary. There are not enough words to effectively communicate what a wonderful experience we had with Emelie and the entire Corcoran family. Look no further. You've found the right caterer if your wedding is in Washington. Absolutely go with Corcoran! -

Corcoran Caterers are the absolute best! From the beginning of our wedding planning where we shared our vision to the execution on wedding day— everything was perfect. We worked with Emelie who listened carefully to our vision of a chill brunch wedding with some unique food. She and her team came back with an incredibly creative menu and made the entire process enjoyable! At our wedding our guests raved about the food! We are so happy we chose Corcoran as our caterer! -

We hired Corcoran Caterers to run the show with food, staffing, materials, setup, and breakdown for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. Jordan was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, starting 8 months before the wedding and ending on the day-of. Any change, question, or problem that arose, Jordan was extremely responsive with suggestions to help move us towards our day. The week of our wedding, forecasted rain threw a dent in our original plans and timeline, and Jordan was right there to help with changes we needed to make in order for the day to run smoothly. Every staff member we encountered on the day-of made us feel extremely special. Jordan had staff assigned to us making sure we ate and had a full drink in our hand the entire evening. With so many choices in the DC-metro area, we didn’t know where to look, but Corcoran came recommended by our day-of coordinator and was reasonably priced for the location. We cannot recommend Corcoran enough and would hire them again for any large event we would host. -

Kelly B. Sent on 02/09/2024Our favorite wedding vendor!!
For our September 2023 wedding, we had the honor of working with Emelie from Corcoran Caterers. Corcoran is a preferred vendor from our venue and planner, so we reached out to them first. From our first consultation call with Emelie, we were sold. She is attentive and asked thoughtful questions to ensure she could curate a menu that would suit our needs. However, what really stood out to us was how communicative she was throughout the 1.5 years we worked with her. We inquired with a few other caterers, but their response time was over a week or didn't respond to us at all.
From the tasting, rental choices, all the way to wedding day, working with Emelie was incredible. She was always respectful of our budget and was transparent about how certain things would affect it. The cherry on top though was her incredible knowledge of our venue, DAR Constitution Hall. We really wanted al fresco dining on the terrace, and she knew of the perfect floor plan to make it happen. She was able to share best practices in terms of the event spaces. Not only did she have Plan A, but she also had a Plan B in case of rain and how all of our vendors could accommodate that change.
On wedding day, Emelie and her team brought our dream wedding vision to life. After our ceremony, Emelie had our signature drinks and hors d'oeuvres ready for us to enjoy some quiet time with each other. It was the best special touch because once we joined our guests at cocktail hour, we were both so busy mingling with our guests we forgot to keep eating! We heard that our guests loved the hor d'oeuvres so much that they soon figured out which entrance the Corcoran team would enter through to grab their favorites!
Each time we looked around during dinner, we thought of her. Her attention to detail and her eye for design brought everything together. Our guests could not stop raving about their dinner and the Corcoran team. Most of our guests commented on how it was one of the best meals they've had at a wedding. Emelie and the Corcoran team made our day truly special, and we'll never forget it. -

The best of the best!
Stop your catering search now & just book Corcoran!! Our experience with Emelie & the team was beyond outstanding! We truly can’t thank them all enough for the perfect delivery & execution in our catering, rentals, cake & bar for our Big Day! They truly rocked every part & the guests were raving about all aspects, including the bomb food! From start to finish they nailed it all & treated us like the only client. We became such great friends in the process & look forward to working with them in the future beyond the wedding!! Thankyou Corcoran!! -

Incredible from start to finish
Martha Corcoran and all of Corcoran catering deserves 10/10 stars! We wanted a cocktail style reception with multiple dinner stations that encouraged guests to move around throughout dinner. We didn't have a wedding planner so Martha worked extremely closely with me to design the layout, the right mix of high and low top tables, and the timing to make my "cocktail party" vision come to life. Corcoran executed perfectly. Our guests are still raving about how good the food was. I felt SO taken cared of. Corcoran was truly a partner in wedding planning and I could not have done it without them. Hire Corcoran!

One of our best vendors! We worked with Emelie and she went above and beyond to make sure we had the wedding day of our dreams. Emelie is extremely responsive and an overall amazing person. We reached out to several companies and no one provided the attention like Corcoran. The food and appetizers were delicious! Emelie made sure we included my Colombian and my husband’s Philly food culture. The attention to detail on the wedding day made sure everything went smoothly. I cannot emphasize how amazing Corcoran Catering was and we could not have had our wedding day without them! Thank you thank you! -

Emelie (owner) reached out to us before passing off to our Lead (Laura), and what a team it was! The tasting, linens, and setting coordination was very well thought out, and Laura did very well to follow-up with us on any details and specifics over the course of pre-planning. The food is delicious and the teams has great ideas for setting up a wedding and utilizing the venue space. We loved working with them throughout the whole process. -

Amazing Caterer for Your Wedding Day
We used Corcoran Caterers for our wedding on Sept 17th 2022, and we were so pleased with the whole experience. From the start, I worked with Laura, and she was extremely organized and detail-oriented. I could tell from the first phone call that she knew her stuff! What sealed the deal was when me and my fiancé tried the food. The food was really great! It was miles better than what we had tried with another caterer. The food was super important to us, so this seemed like a stellar choice. On wedding day, things went perfectly. Laura recommended a great month of coordinator for us, so we had a dream team. Everything went very smoothly! Guests loved the food. The linens and glassware were stunning. It was a very beautiful day. The cake was the only thing that left something to be desired. I think they had a little issue with it being lopsided (we honestly did not care about that), but the actual taste of the cake was just OK. You have an option to do cake with them or get an outside cake. The rest of the food was truly AMAZING. If you are thinking about booking Corcoran Caterers for your wedding, do it! Such a phenomenal experience. Great coordination and organization. -

Corcoran Caterers was a dream to work with, and the food is really above and beyond what you’d expect from an event caterer. The dishes were adaptable to our guests needs, and Martha made sure that we had little touches that we want. Additionally, they were great partners for planning the tablescapes and venue layout. -

They say no one will remember the food at your wedding. If you work with Corcoran Caterers, that won’t be true (in the best way!). People were going back for seconds, our non-traditional dessert of creme brulee and chocolate truffles was a huge hit. Even the vegan truffles had people talking! But more than that, working with the Corcoran team is an absolute joy and we knew they were just as invested in our big day being a success as we were. We can’t speak highly enough of how kind and accommodating they were to us during COVID. Not only did they postpone with us twice, they made sure the linens we selected back in 2020 were ready to go two and half years later. When we decided to still legally tie the knot in 2020 anyway, we worked with them to put together a fabulous boxed dinner for our immediate family. They surprised us with a little monogrammed sticker of our names on each box, which was the sweetest touch. When they pivoted during COVID to offer takeout family meals, we ordered from them a few times and enjoyed everything so much, we constantly questioned whether we should tweak our wedding menu to include the latest dish we’d just tried. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Corcoran for any event that requires catering, they’re fantastic!
