Planner's guide
PART 1: PLANNER INSIGHT
Best For: Corporate lunches and business meetings, private dinner parties and celebrations, non-profit fundraising events, wedding receptions and engagement parties

Things to clarify before booking:

- Ask about their food safety certifications, liability insurance, and alcohol service licenses to ensure compliance with D.C. regulations
- Clarify setup and breakdown timelines, equipment fees (tables, linens, serving equipment), and whether they work with your venue's preferred vendor list
Common questions
Does Relish Catering DC offer menu tasting sessions before finalizing selections?
Contact them directly at +1 301-366-0823 to inquire about tasting availability. Many D.C.-area caterers offer tastings for events above a certain guest count, though this may involve a fee or be complimentary depending on your event size and booking timeline.
Can they accommodate multiple dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal) at the same event?
Relish Catering DC specializes in tailored menus, which suggests flexibility with dietary needs. Confirm during your consultation that they have experience managing diverse dietary requirements and can prevent cross-contamination if needed.
What is the typical lead time needed to book Relish Catering DC for an event?
Lead time requirements aren't specified publicly. Call +1 301-366-0823 during business hours to ask about availability for your target date—peak seasons (spring/fall weddings, holiday parties) often require 6-8 weeks notice in the D.C. area.
Do they provide rentals like linens, plates, glassware, and serving equipment, or should I source these separately?
This is critical to clarify before booking. Ask whether rental fees are included in catering quotes or if you'll need to hire a separate rental company—many D.C. caterers partner with rental vendors but don't provide these in-house.
Are they available for weekend events, or only Monday-Friday service?
Their posted hours show Saturday and Sunday as closed. Contact them to confirm whether they can accommodate weekend events with advance notice or if they only operate Monday-Friday.
What areas outside Washington D.C. do they service, and are there travel fees?
Ask about their service radius during your initial conversation. D.C. caterers typically serve surrounding areas (Arlington, Alexandria, Silver Spring) but may charge delivery/travel fees or have minimum guest counts for outside locations.
