Our company had an open house last week and it was a tremendous success, due so largely to the amazing food and presentation delivered by Purple Onion! It was a great experience working with Chana Brissett and her team of professionals. The food was delicious and we had so many compliments on the taste and look. That's one of the reasons to choose Purple Onion--they are imaginative and creative with presentation.
The catering staff that worked our event were terrific. Channa was wonderful to work with and so accommodating and helpful. We could not have had a nicer reception and are so appreciative to the staff at Purple Onion. They are a credit to the hospitality industry.

Paige is a catering queen! We loved working with her and the Purple Onion team. Paige was so easy to work with, responsive, knowledgable, and made great recommendations for our wedding day. Purple Onion was the perfect caterer for our December wedding. The food was amazing and all our guests loved it! Especially the appetizers! One of our favorite parts of our day was having appetizers and champagne ready for us immediately following our ceremony. I highly recommend the Purple Onion if you are planning a wedding or event in Northern VA!

Purple Onion Catered my birthday party and provided the linens and tables. Their attention to detail; creativity with the menu, and overall professionalism at the party was amazing! Margaret, my event planner took such good care of everything! The next day I had people calling me to get their number. They are the BEST! And I will be back!
