  When I was looking in to catering in Richmond I was considering using Old City Bar because it was next door to the venue I thought I wanted--Main Street Station.
  Since then I've changed my venue to my current hometown-Charlottesville but was actually considering using Buz and Neds BBQ from Richmond. It is more of a causal style wedding, and a family style meal service so I'm going for delicious comfort food. Prices aren't listed on the website, but I'm hoping they are flexible.
  Do you have a venue already picked out? What kind of food service are you looking for? Budget contraints? How many entree choices would you like to offer?

  Oooooh I LOVE BUZ&NED'S!!!!!!  Good choice   Unfortunately, the FI is not a big fan of bbq
  
  We haven't booked a site but the one I like is in Rockville & doesn't have any catering restrictions.  There are a few we want to tour yet and some of them require that you use thier own in-house catering.  I'm trying to get a feel for pricing should I have to choose my own, versus book a venue that will make me pay $6000 for catering.  I want to keep food costs under $4k, and ideally I would provide my own beer & wine (cheaper that way!)  I want at least two meal choices, and at least one of them being vegetarian.  I am thinking of having a buffet but I might need to have a two-sided one or two separate buffet lines (approx 200 people to feed!)
  
  I'll have to check out Old City Bar- thanks for the input... and if you have any other suggestions I'm open to those as well! Thanks again

  [QUOTE]I used Whitney at Champage Taste Catering and I can't say enough good things about her. She was really easy to work with, her food was fantastic, and her prices were good. We had about 150 guests and paid about $3500, including bussers and bartenders. My guests were raving about her food. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. <a href="http://champagnetastecatering.com/" rel='nofollow'>http://champagnetastecatering.com/</a>

  I have interviewed the Old City Bar as I am getting married at Main Street Station next summer. Christy is awesome! She customized a menu based off of my and my fiance's likes and dislikes. And the price is very reasonable. I have made changed to my menu a couple of times. They can literally do a menu for as much or as little as you have for your budget. All that being said, I have not yet tried the food, but I think they are worth taking a look at. I am happy with the interactions I have had with them so far.
