Full-service holiday catering for offices, churches and associations across Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia. Six culinary traditions on one menu, 25 to 200 guests, all from licensed and insured food facilities across the DMV.
From a 40-person office party in Tysons to a 200-person church fellowship in Upper Marlboro, holiday catering looks different at every scale. The shape of the meal changes; the work behind it does not. Eden West delivers and sets up at your venue, with a captain on site for every full-service event.
End-of-year staff meals, client-appreciation receptions, board dinners and partner nights. We work with your building's load-in dock and your security desk; allergen sheets and COI go out with every proposal.
Christmas Eve receptions, Watch Night, Advent gatherings, choir-appreciation dinners, and community fellowship meals. We cater in fellowship halls and parish centres across the District, Maryland and Northern Virginia.
Annual holiday galas, professional-society December dinners, alumni chapter receptions, and member-appreciation brunches. We handle RSVP-aligned headcounts, dietary restrictions and venue coordination end to end.
Private celebrations, neighbourhood parties and community centres. If your group is between 25 and 200 guests and the date is in the holiday window, this page is for the meal.
Pick one tradition or mix them. Every tradition runs through the same kitchen discipline: proteins sourced halal on request, full ingredient disclosure on every dish, and a captain on site so the host stays a guest.
Roast turkey and carved prime rib, brown-butter mashed potatoes, seasonal roots, classic gravy and warm rolls. The holiday table most guests grew up with.
Jollof rice with grilled chicken, suya-spiced beef, egusi soup, plantain, and a slow-roasted fish course. Bright, peppery, generous portions.
Cast-iron fried chicken, smoked turkey, braised greens, mac and cheese, candied yams, cornbread dressing, and a sweet-potato pie finish.
Slow-sauced meatballs, lasagna, chicken piccata, roasted vegetable antipasti, focaccia, and a tiramisu or panna cotta dessert course.
Oxtail, jerk chicken, curry goat, rice and peas, plantain, festival, pepper sauce, and a sorrel or ginger-beer non-alcoholic pairing.
Roasted char siu, ginger-scallion chicken, stir-fried greens with garlic, jasmine rice, hand-folded dumplings, and a sesame-dressed cold noodle course.
The same durable process we run every week, tightened around the December calendar. Most inquiries turn into a written quote within 24 hours; tastings are scheduled in October for events in November and December.
Send the date, guest count, venue city and any dietary notes. We confirm availability within 24 hours. December Saturdays go first to inquiries that can deposit.
You receive a written, line-item quote: proteins, sides, service style, staff, rentals, taxes and service charge. Two revisions included. No line you find out about later.
October tastings are scheduled for November and December events. A 50% deposit reserves your date the moment the tasting is approved. Balance is due 14 days before the event.
Setup, service, breakdown. A catering captain owns the timeline so the host does not. Plates, chafing, linens, COI — all carried in one truck.
These are the same on every quote we send — no sliding scale, no exceptions. If a particular calendar event changes the math, we put it in writing before you sign.
The minimum catering order is $1,000 before tax, service and delivery. Holiday orders below the minimum cannot be accepted.
A 50% deposit, paid by ACH, business check or Zelle, reserves the date. December Saturdays are first come, first served — the deposit, not the inquiry, holds the calendar.
The remaining balance is due 14 calendar days before the event date. Late balance is a written reminder, not an automatic cancellation.
Holiday catering is priced for groups of 25 to 200 guests. Smaller groups: drop-off packages from the same menu. Larger events: ask for a custom proposal.
The form below is the same Eden West quote form used across the site, tagged so the team sees it came from the holiday page. You will get a written response within 24 hours, including availability for your December date.
