How it works

Four steps, one signature.

Step 01

Tell us the date

Send your date, headcount and venue. You get a written response within 24 hours, including whether the date is open.

Step 02

Menu & proposal

A menu built around your guests and an itemised quote — food, staffing, rentals, service charge and the correct jurisdiction's tax.

Step 03

Tasting & deposit

Tastings available for full-service events. A deposit holds the date; the balance is due the week of.

Step 04

Event day

The team arrives ahead of schedule, sets, serves, replenishes and breaks down. You host. We handle the kitchen.

Request a quote

Check your date.

Saturdays in May, June, October and December book first. The more you tell us now, the faster the quote comes back.

You will get a written response within 24 hours. No spam, no drip sequence.

Questions

Before you ask.

How far ahead should I book?

Weddings: nine to twelve months. Corporate events: two to six months. Graduation parties: two to four months, and May and June fill early. Private celebrations: one to three months. December holiday parties should be locked by September. If your date is closer than that, ask anyway — cancellations happen.

Do you serve halal?

Yes. Halal-sourced proteins are available across the whole menu, and Eden West runs dedicated Ramadan service — nightly Iftar drop-off packages through full Eid al-Fitr buffets. Tell us at inquiry so the sourcing is set from the start.

Where do you travel?

The District, all of Maryland, and Northern Virginia through Loudoun. Travel catering beyond the DMV is quoted case by case.

How many staff come with the food?

Staffed buffet attendants, servers & bartenders are available upon request at an extra charge. Every full-service event has a catering captain on site who owns the timeline so the host does not have to.

Can you work with my venue?

Eden West is licensed and insured and carries a certificate of insurance for venues that require one — standard at mansion and county venues across Prince George's and Montgomery. Send the venue name at inquiry and we will confirm their outside-catering policy for you.

What is not included in the per-guest price?

Service charge, sales tax, and any rentals beyond what the package lists — specialty linens, china upgrades, bars. Delivery beyond thirty miles is billed separately. Every quote itemises all of it; there is no line you find out about later.
