Rouge Fine Catering

Rouge Fine Catering was phenomenal for our Spring Gala of over 200+ guests.From planning to execution, no detail was spared nor overlooked. We had the great fortune of working with Kaitlin to execute an event within two months on a somewhat tight budget. Kaitlin was kind and accommodating in terms of the many menu revisions we had, the seating and table arrangements, and the availability of services they provide. She was extremely professional and always had our best interests in mind.What really stood out for us is the flexibility and adaptability Rouge Fine Catering has, which can only be possible with their immense experience in the business. On the day of our event, our venue failed to set-up the furniture to our prior arrangements, forcing us to rethink the entire seating and table arrangements entirely on the day of. Thankfully, Kaitlin was able to make everything work with us under no sense of stress or worry. We were able to set everything up with time to spare.The food was also fantastic based on the overall feedback from our guests. You truly pay for a fine food dining arrangement at a reasonable price. Kaitlin, again, was pivotal to the crafting of the menu. Our favorites in particular, were the Maryland Crab Fondue, Chicken Satay, and Chocolate Macaroons. The staff that helped make the entire event happen were absolutely stellar. When it came to setting up, they were quick and efficient. A handful of them only spoke Spanish but they made it work with the communication. They even went out of their way to help set up decorations to our likings, which I highly appreciated! The bartenders especially were amazing with handling a whole bunch of graduate students looking to get buzzed. They were charismatic, quick, and kind. They definitely took care of us. I cannot recommend Rouge Fine Catering enough, they are an experienced, capable, and reliable catering company. If you have are hosting any manner of event, they are one of the best.

Rouge catered my daughters wedding this past weekend. All went exactly as planned. Plentiful appetizers and huge portions for dinner. The staff took great care of our guests. The mini chicken tacos for cocktail hour were a huge hit. The staff did a great job setting up our cookie/dessert table

My company ordered a variety of wraps for our volunteer event in DC on Wednesday. I picked the bag with the Grilled salmon wrap. Wow!! The wrap was delicious and substantial! The salmon was perfectly cooked. Very impressed! The bag also contained oatmeal cookie, a bag of chips and water. I looked at their extensive menu and the prices seem reasonable. I would consider catering with them for a special event.

so my team and I ordered rogue catering for our holiday luncheon. When they arrived at the office they set the food up. All was well. When we dipped our spoon in the mashed potatoes a long black hair came out w it and we all were very sad. Scared to even eat the other dishes. I called and spoke with a representative who said they will give us a percentage off of our next catering order. I let them know that there will be no next time. The representative then placed me on hold while she got the manager. The manager got on the phone and proceeded to say, why would you say that you're never going to order w us. That's offensive to me. She went on the say your not going to eat the mashed potatoes ? You didn't just pull the hair out ? So you're going to waste perfectly good mashed potatoes ? I'm like is this lady serious. She goes on and on about how I need to look at theirGoogle reviews. IDGAF about no Google reviews. I want to be compensated for the mashed potatoes that's it. After arguing with the manager, she proceeds to say she will refund me for the potatoes. I was so disgusted by her demeanor. I will never patron this place just based off the manager telling me to just take the hair out and still eat the potatoes. Wow. People are nasty/dirty. And she just happens to be in the food and beverage business. Be careful. How's that for a review.

The food is delicious. The wait staff are experienced and do a great job. Hoping to use them in the near future.

We chose Rouge Catering for my daughter's Baptism in Baltimore. The food was excellent and we had many family members asking who catered the event. Were very happy with the service and the prices were reasonable. I worked with Michelle and she was friendly and very helpful. I will definitely use them again.

Working with Rouge Catering was the highlight of my April 2017 wedding in DC. Why? Three things: the food is phenomenal, the price is astoundingly affordable, and our event manager, Sarah Kelley, was maybe the most outstanding person that I have ever gotten to work with. First, the food was incredible - like, not just incredible-for-wedding-food, but actually incredible.* I am still blown away by the appetizers and how fancy they were - we had 5 types of passed appetizers (all amazingly composed AND served so you didn't need a plate to eat one, which is the hallmark of a great app) and a sprawling, homemade antipasti bar that had at least a dozen options on it. For the main meal, we did a buffet with tons of delicious options, and anyone with dietary considerations (i.e., vegan) got their own specially prepared meal. Why is it so good? They actually build a kitchen on site and cook everything. Not finishing everything - actually cook it. And it matters. Open bar was unlimited all night and included all top shelf liquors imaginable (including a whiskey and a bourbon and a scotch), a variety of beers, and three wine choices (one red blend, one white blend, and a truly outstanding rose). Second, the price - the whole meal, with fully open bar, with a three-tier Charm City wedding cake and coffee service included, and full staffing, was the best price we were quoted. No hidden costs or "add ons" that popped up later - my sole additional cost was linen rentals ($300 total for like 17 nice tablecloths and upgraded napkins), because the staff is not allowed to accept tips. I need to expound a bit here: Rouge was by far the lowest price quoted for me, and yet it was by far the fanciest. To be honest, I actually encountered them first at a wedding expo at the American Visionary Arts Museum in Baltimore; their display was so upscale and elaborate, and their food was so complex and flavorful, that I didn't even call them in my initial search because I assumed that I could never afford them if I wanted to stay within our budget. Meanwhile, they managed to come in under our budget, and that price included the staff setting up the whole venue, providing all the drinks and food, doing cleanup, providing the groom and I table service, etc. They even followed us around outside on the vast venue grounds while we were taking photos to give us food and drinks. In short: rejoice in finding something you can afford and that is mind-blowing. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, event manager Sarah (and Rouge staff in general). Sarah was the most amazing person to work with; her excitement and professionalism made this the easiest and most enjoyable part of wedding planning. She was always available to us and worked to find the perfect price point for us while still providing far and beyond what I had hoped to serve at my wedding. When we visited their site for our tasting, we got to meet the owners and see how small and close the staff is, and it just felt good to give my business to people who care passionately about where they work. (Plus Sarah is hilarious and cool! I am actually sad that I don't talk to her weekly now!) The staff at the event took care of so much and allowed us and my family to just enjoy the day. The venue looked AMAZING, the staff that was there was adorably sweet and so efficient (and adept at handling tipsy and bossy family members!), and everything went off without a hitch without needing any attention from me. I cannot recommend this company enough for anything. They are truly outstanding and I cannot praise them enough. (Reposted in December 2019 because typos in the previous review drove me nuts and Yelp removed the edit button for some reason....)

Hello, I was at an event yesterday at University of Baltimore and the food was served. i ate and the very next day I was sick. I contacted the people in charge, and they were negative and uncaring about me getting sick. Nevertheless, we all need to be very careful where we are eating from . Everyone does not clean their food properly.

Rouge was an OUTSTANDING catering company. Of course, their food is just incredible - we knew immediately after our tasting that Rouge was going to be our choice. At our wedding some of the most popular items were the scallops and the mini mac n cheese skillets.The thing that really set Rouge apart was the way they treated us so special from day one. Celeste, Lindsay, and Kaitlin always made themselves available whenever we wanted to meet, and they listened to each request, and took great care of our vision for the wedding. It was a wonderful stress off my plate to have such a reliable and kind vendor taking care of such a critical part of our reception.We used Rouge for not only food, but the open bar, table and chair rentals, dishware, and linens. They were even able to help us with an outdoor patio heater! On top of all that- they turned around our venue, the B&O railroad in less than 2 hours, and they made that room look absolutely stunning.When we arrived at the reception after the ceremony, I was to delighted to have Kaitlin and Celeste ready to meet me and my husband right at the entrance, with a tray full of appetizers for us to enjoy before greeting our guests. They also packed us two complimentary to-go meals, since they knew we wouldn't get around to eating very much during the reception.I cannot express how thankful I am for Rouge elevating our wedding night into a delicious, loving, and stress-free celebration. I HIGHLY recommend you pick them as your caterer if you're in the Baltimore area.

Was excited to use Rouge Catering for my wedding that was originally scheduled for last summer. They met our needs in regards to food quality and budget. In March 2020, signed a contract and paid a 20% deposit for our wedding scheduled for July 2020. A week later, the whole country unexpectedly went under lockdown for COVID. Since our wedding was made up mostly of out-of-town guests, we decided in May to make the socially-responsible choice to cancel our wedding to eliminate the risk involved with travel. Despite my various attempts, including a phone conversation explaining that rescheduling our 100+ person social gathering during a global pandemic was simply not feasible, Celeste, the owner, refused to return our deposit back to us. Rouge Catering was the only vendor that was not willing to return our deposit. Anyone who has planned a wedding knows the exorbitant amount of expenses that couples must take on for their special day. I would just be cautious of doing business with a company that doesn't feel the need to hold themselves to the same standard as everyone else in the industry.
