    Attentive, professional and delicious.

    Bob Egan and his staff made what can be an extremely stressful part of wedding planning, very easy. Fun stay to finish the experience was positive. And best yet, the food was delicious.

    Exceptional venue, romantic atmosphere and magical views!

    My husband and I got married here a few months ago, but it felt like we had spent an entire year here, in the best possible way. From start to finish Bob and his team were extremely helpful and allowed us to come look at the property any time. I am a designer and my MIL is an events planner, so we had a ton of extra personal touches we wanted to make for the wedding. Bally Cliff was very accommodating with all of it, including allowing us to camp on the property after the reception. The food was incredibly delicious and presented beautifully. The staff were so professional and pulled our dream space together in a way that truly blew us away. We got married under a tree overlooking the rolling hills and pond. Then the guests made their way to the upper barn for dinner and headed back downstairs for dancing and mingling by the bonfire pits that High Point put out for us. We even saw a meteor fly by during the night! I feel so blessed to have stumbled upon this magical location and will forever be recommending it to anyone and everyone.

    Great Venue, Great Food by High Point, Wedding was a Success!

    My son's wedding and reception were held at Bally Cliff in Poolesville MD and catered by High Point. The barn venue was fantastic. High Point was great to work with and covered every detail. Food was excellent. They handled our group of 100+ guests with no problems. Top notch group of people and I would highly recommend them for your event!

    Best Vendor for our Wedding

    High Point Events was the best vendor we worked with for our wedding. Our other vendor were good, but I felt like High Point was on our team. They honestly listened to what was important to us, were straightforward about what they could offer, and helped us brainstorm ways to make our budget work. Moreover, they recognized how important the day was to us and also how stressful the planning was. On several occasions, it was conversations with High Point that assured me that we would get to the wedding day: because they clearly knew what they were doing, because they were willing to give advice about navigating the wedding industry when I asked (and didn’t push it when I didn’t ask), and because they responded to my sometimes chaotic ramblings with compassion. On the day of our wedding, the food was great, and they did exactly what they said they would. I would 100% recommend them because of their kindness and competence.

    I could not have been more impressed with High Point!

    Professional, Covid conscious, delicious food, caring staff, excellent leadership team of Bob Egan and Jeff Ingram supported us from start to finish. We highly recommend High Point!

    Impressive in Every Way

    Where do I start? We’ve worked with Bob and his team at Highpoint Events several times for special family parties. All of our events were held at the historic Bally Cliff Farm. First of all, they walked me through the menu planning b/c I was paralyzed with indecision…everything sounded delicious. Two of our parties (Christmas and our daughter’s engagement party) had near 100 guests. Highpoint provided the tables, chairs and linens. We also hired their bartender, who took care of everything in that area. We did our own decorating. The venue looked gorgeous! Our guests were quite impressed and equally important, we were able to spend our time visiting and enjoying our guests. The food was both beautifully presented and delicious. The staff was professional and friendly. We didn’t stress about clean-up as they took care of all the heavy lifting. I highly recommend Highpoint and Bally Cliff Farm.

    Easy to work with and would recommend to everyone

    I worked with High Points Events for my wedding at The Lodge at Seneca Creek in Boyds, MD. From the moment I contacted them to the day of the event, they were very responsive and professional. They did an excellent job helping us choose the food for the wedding, and during the tasting, all the food was delicious. All my guests enjoyed the food. We had a buffet-style food service, and all the plates had a good amount of food. They also provided a bit more food, and our guests could repeat and get more food if they wanted to. For dessert, we got an ice cream bar, and everyone enjoy the various topping options. I would recommend their open bar. I was amazed by how fast and good their drinks were. Also, we did not have a line for our guests ordering and getting their drinks. Our day of coordinator let us know that they set up and cleaned up very timely and organized. One of the great benefits we noticed from working with High Point Events is that they are known around the DMV area for full services catering with many wedding venues. I would recommend High Point Events as full-service catering for any wedding.

    Delicious Food, Friendly Staff!

    Bob and his team at High Point Events Catering exceeded all of my expectations! Bob was very helpful and honest throughout the whole process. We were able to create a very fun and “different than your average wedding” menu. I’d highly recommend working with High Point Events. You will not be disappointed.

    Great food, great service!

    We were thoroughly impressed by High Point Catering! We ordered an a la carte spread of BBQ meat (pulled pork & brisket!) & side dishes for our tiny wedding, along with the beer sampler package. They also set up a large tent for our reception, complete with twinkling lights & a small dance floor on one end. Additionally, High Point provided the sound system and speakers for our event. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly & helpful, and everything from the tent & the lights to the sound system was simply perfect! We and our guests had a marvelous time, and the service provided by High Point Catering played a large part in that. We would highly recommend them!

    With Highpoint Catering handling your wedding details, you can enjoy the event

    The team of Highpoint Catering perfectly handled every detail of a three day wedding weekend. From the rehearsal dinner, through the wedding itself and late night snack buffet, the staff was supportive throughout. Having a wedding can be stressful. Having a wedding during Covid even more so. But having a wedding with Highpoint Catering removed the stress and allowed our family to enjoy this special event.

    Microwedding: Full-Sized Delight

    High Point Events did such an amazing job catering our wedding at The Mansion at Strathmore. We had an intimate microwedding, and High Point Events ensured all of our needs were met. From the seating, table arrangements, and the plated dinner meal. It was all incredibly delectable. Every staff member was more than accommodating.

    High Point Catering was helpful, organized and easy to work with as we planned our Backyard Wedding BBQ reception.

    Our family was planning a Backyard Wedding BBQ Reception for our son’s wedding. The staff at High Point Catering was enthusiastic and experienced as they helped to plan the BBQ wedding reception for 100 people in our backyard. They provided a beautiful setup from tent, tables, chairs, linens to lighting. The staff was prompt, courteous and professional on the day of the wedding. We received many compliments on the appetizers, dinner menu and ice cream sundae bar from our family and friends. Bob and his entire staff were very attentive to our vision for the wedding reception. Thank you High Point Catering for making the wedding day for our son and his bride so special!

    Great Food And Service

    It was such a pleasure working with High Point Events & Catering! They catered and helped stage my mini COVID wedding in October 2020. Bob and his team was so accommodating as we had a very short turnaround as a result of having to cancel our destination wedding. High Point Events & Catering went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I were completely satisfied with the food and the additional accommodations they provided. If you are in search of a caterer please look no further. I'm confident High Point Events & Catering will exceed your expectations as they exceeded mine! Thank you again for everything, Bob.

    Getting married in Covid

    If you trying to decide if a wedding during Covid is worth it, I strongly encourage you to talk through your options with Highpoint Catering. Bob Egan is on top of all the health restrictions and is able to think outside the box for how to make your event enjoyable and safe. While my daughter's wedding was not what she originally planned before Covid 19, we were able to put together a wonderful event filled with good memories. The Highpoint staff provided impeccable service and made all our guests feel special. I highly recommend them.

    Job well done!

    We used High Point for our Aug 2020 wedding and the knocked it out of the park. They were very knowledgable about COVID safety protocol, they were responsive and helpful in the weeks leadng up to the event, and their staff on the day-of could not have been more friendly or professional. Most importantly, our guests loved the food. We pulled together an at-home wedding in 6 weeks and we couldn't have done it without their professionalism and guidance. In that time they did a site visit, a tasting, and tons of work getting our proposal just so. I hope I can use them again in the future. A+!

    Our wedding was a small backyard venue with a barbecue buffet. Since we had a very small wedding, I was a little nervous that our event would not have the same detail and care as a larger event. I am happy to say that this was not the case at all! From my first interactions with High Point Events, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Natasha and Christa helped me with all the details including the linen colors, menu, and timing of our event. Nick helped with the tent visit, dimensions, and setup. The day of, we had an awesome team in Dawn, Monica, and Jesse and we couldn't have asked for better people to setup and help for our wedding. My grandmother and mom were helping with all the logistics and raved about how wonderful the team was! Thank you all so much for helping to make our wedding so wonderful, we wouldn't have changed anything!

    Phenomenal from start to finish

    We got married at Glen Echo Park, which had a pre-approved caterers list. We were leaning towards High Point because of their upscale BBQ with fun carnival-ish options menu, and the heard that they were reasonably priced and knew Glen Echo Park very well, and it sealed the deal for us. Melody was incredible from our first e-mails, through our calls on the menu, the tasting, the walk through, and the day of. She was always responsive and helpful with our million questions, worked within our vision and budget, willing to talk through ideas and provide options and quotes, and made everything run so smoothly on the day of--we didn't have to worry about a thing. The food was cooked on site and INCREDIBLE. We're still hearing rave reviews from our guests about the food, especially the NY strip steak, mac n cheese bites, and funnel cake fries. Man I want more funnel cake fries. In short, best decision ever!

    High Point Events's reply:

    Dear Kerry & Mark,

    Thank you so much for your kind words! You two are an amazing couple and we are honored to be a part of such an exceptionally fun night and ultimately an important and lasting memory for you, your family and friends. We are so happy you enjoyed the experience from start to finish and wish you two a lifetime of happiness.

    Cue RENT music and ultimate dance party goals!

    Sincerely,
    Melody & the High Point Events & Catering Team

    A+ Quality, A+ Value, No Pretentious BS, and the Food's Just Delicious

    Our event was at Glen Echo, a federal park, where you must choose from a list of pre-approved caterers. The list included some of DC's most prestigious high-end caterers, which we crossed off right away. We were looking for an informal, down-to-earth vibe with no pretentious fluff, just great food and a warm welcome for our guests.

    High Point was a perfect match for us, and I'm so glad we found them! Christa worked with us to create 4 food stations that featured their famous mac and cheese bar, BBQ, sliders, satays, a Mediterranean station, and a salad bar, as well as snacks before and after.

    Scott, our chef, met with us in person before the event to go over the menu in detail, and make sure that everything was prepared exactly the way we liked it. We asked that a few items be dairy-free, and it was reassuring that they seemed very experienced at handling food allergies and avoiding cross-contamination.

    Christa and Scott were also awesome and flexible about providing the setup for us to bring our own alcohol and cake.

    We had 130 guests, and every single person we talked to just raved about the food. They're still raving about the food a month later! We were actually expecting to have some leftovers, but every scrap was gone by the end of the evening, because people kept going back for seconds and thirds.

    One of the most thoughtful touches was that every dish was labeled by name, AND the dairy-free dishes were identified as dairy-free. We had so many guests tell us how much they appreciated that, and we had no idea beforehand that they had allergy issues.

    We loved working with High Point and would highly recommend them. My only regret is, I wish I'd gotten more to eat!

    So we had a lovely beach wedding planned for September 20, at Surfside Beach, SC. Then hurricane Florence decided we needed to change everything! So, on September 12, we cancelled a beach wedding and went Rustic Barn. I called Patty Malatt at High Point and within minutes we were planning a wedding. In 1 week my daughter and new son-in-law were married at High Point. They were amazing to work with, even more so in such a short amount of time. The menu was exactly what we wanted, a little seafood, a prime rib carving station, a mac and cheese station that was truly an event of it's own, plus chicken, pulled pork and amazing sides! We turned the barn into a magical fairyland with lots of white lights and glitter tulle. I highly recommend High Point for your event. The wedding went off without a hitch, no issues, everything was handled professionally but with a personal touch. My only regret is that I don't have another daughter to get married so we could use them again.

    My wife and I chose High Point Catering for our June wedding. Christa and her staff exceeded all of our expectations. They were extremely professional the entire time and ensured that everything went smoothly. On the days and weeks leading up to the event, Christa was unbelievable. She was so good at making sure every detail was accounted for and gave us so many good ideas. My wife was calm the entire process because of Christa. We went to the location for the testing and it was great. We chose a buffet style reception, which we had doubts about. Somehow they cooked the food perfectly. The chicken was never dry and the steaks were so good. We were able to drop off the alcohol and decorations at their location a few days before the event. When the day came we didn’t have to worry about anything. If you are planning an event and live in the DMV, don’t hesitate to choose High Point Catering.

    Amazing team. Melody was terrific. Unlike other caterers we talked to in and around DC, High Point did not try to gouge us. We asked for ways to help cut costs and stay in budget, and they were extremely responsive and helpful. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

    We used High Point for our wedding reception 11/11/17 at McClintock Distilling Company in downtown Frederick.
    I was a huge pain in the butt with changing our order several times and changing my mind about the room layout lol and Christa/the whole crew we're completely awesome start to finish! They worked with us to figure out the best order of operations for transitioning from ceremony to cocktail hour and so on. The food was SO dang good! Our guests (who happen to be tough critics) were super impressed with the presentation and service.

    Christa worked with my coordinator and our rental company to ensure that we had everything we needed for the day to go off without any issues. It was absolutely perfect and we're like looking for another reason to work with them in the future! :)

    Thank you Christa for keeping us in check, working with our budget and making our dream wedding a reality!

    XOXOXO

    We chose High Point Catering for my daughter's wedding reception and are so happy we did. My daughter and I met with several other caterers before choosing High Point. Both company's seemed to nickel and dime us at each request with the outcome blowing our budget. High Point was very reasonably priced and the quality of the food and service was excellent. Our guests were very impressed and raved about the food. Christa Oden was my daughter's wedding coordinator and she was fabulous. She was very helpful and guided us from the planning stages to the finish. She has a great down to earth personality and was a joy to work with. I highly recommend High Point.
