From our first meeting with Amine, White House was our first choice. We tasted with each of the caterers on the Nixon Library's preferred list but nothing compared to the delicious food offered by Chef Brazier and impeccable service delivered by Amine, Ana, and their staff. We received countless compliments on the professionalism of the service and everyone said that the food was the best wedding food they had ever had! Thank you so much!

Wow - we received so many compliments from our guests about both the quality and presentation of the food at our reception from the appetizers, salad, and main course, along with the top notch service. Amine was very helpful and easy to work with. We had a great tasting at the White House restaurant to help us choose which appetizers and entrees to select. During the reception and dinner, we had a waitstaff member dedicated to us to make sure we were hydrated, well fed and taken care of. The chef even came out during the dinner to visit our table to make sure everything was made to our satisfaction.

We were married at the Nixon Library last month and White House was our caterer. The entire staff is very professional but above all the food is amazing and the food presentation! People to this day still rave about the food especially the salad that by the way comes in a rice flower type bowl. The entire staff was friendly. The thing that impressed me the most was that we had our very own server who made sure we had food and drinks the entire night. Had it not been for the sweet gal, Im sure we would not of even tried our own appetizers! We dealt with Amine throughout the process and he is just so nice and very helpful! He was really the ultimate factor in choosing White House because he is just very attentive:) If you choose White House, you will have a great food and beautiful settings!

Amine and Ana from the White House Catering Staff are the best. We were married at the Nixon Library, so we had 4 caterers to choose from. We met with the others, but felt so confident with the WH we had to choose them. The presentation was so beautiful, and everyone was commenting on the bride and groom italian tortilla decoration that was on everyone's plates. Before my wedding I had only heard about the White House, but now my fiance and I plan to add it to our favorite restaurants. Thank you everyone at White House for great food and service!

White House catering is amazing. The food is great and so is the staff. My husband was unable to make it to the first tasting, so they let us do another one. They will work with you to stay within your budget. Our guests were very impressed.

If I had reviewed White House Catering during the beginning of the process, they would have all 5 stars in all categories. The service was impeccable, responsive, professional, impressive.If I had to review White House Catering during the week before the wedding, I would've given a 2.5 for ability to follow through on the contract, professionalism, and flexibility. I'm not sure if it was a miscommunication but we were allowed a 10% downward fluctuation on the original contract and when the final count came in we had just made that minimum number. When the final invoice came, the balance hadn't been adjusted. I had made a requested a few weeks before that if we didn't make the minimum if we could move the monetary equivalent of the difference on the committed amount to the bar amount. When the final invoice came, they billed us for the minimum, moved the 10% to the bar tab, and still billed us the original amount. It took a few calls to get it all straightened out and in the process, I felt a few comments were made that were slightly condescending and added stress to the process. To top it off, they requested we pay by check because they didn't want lose the 2-4% to the credit companies. I felt that was a ridiculous request since the final bill was over 10k!Now that the wedding is over and I'm reviewing them, I'm giving them an overall rating of 4.5. The service is very impressive on the day of. They provide an army of servers so your guests aren't waiting long for their drinks, food, or hor devours. I got so many compliments about the bar, the food, and the service that it made any issues I experienced during the last week seem less of problem. We chose the brie and berries canapes, beef wellington, tuna tartare, caprese ala queen, bruschetta as our hor devours. We picked the chicken/fish duel plate as the entree. We got rave reviews about everything. The chicken was tender and juicy, but the fish stole the show. Everyone loved it.Looking back, I don't regret going with them. In fact, I feel I got a great value from them, minus the issue with invoicing during the most stressful time of the wedding planning process. I would advise other couples who use them, to get everything in writing (don't expect you or the vendor will remember something discussed months prior) especially since their contract is vague in their definitions of of what is considered a minimum number. Seeing how impressed my guests were with the food and service, which in my book is what counts, is what gave them almost 5 stars.

Absolutely amazing food!! The presentation was beautiful, the tastes delectable, and the service outstanding. As the bride and groom, we had a personal attendant throughout the entire process. Not a moment passed where we could not get water, champagne, appetizers etc. One cannot say enough about how incredible the food was... salads looked and tasted incredible, the main course was ridiculously delicious! They are very professional and accommodating for various tastes. They work hard to make sure it's exactly as you want it!!Brides note: I have to add that Amine was so wonderful to work with! He was very responsive and so professional and polite. His patience and kindness with my million questions was greatly appreciated! Also, on top of the comments above, we had a server following us around while we had pictures taken during our cocktail hour. So Amazing! We had a tray of hour d' ouvres just for us, and if I ever set my half full glass of champagne down it was immediately refilled. So many couples say that they didn't get a chance to eat on their wedding day, but we certainly got our share of food and were taken care of like royalty!
