Catering Options

If you would like to provide meals or beverages for your event, class, or meeting, there are a variety of options near the Center, and most will deliver. From a casual breakfast of bagels and coffee to more elaborate receptions, the following are a sample of recommended restaurants and caterers:

MK Catering

MK Catering is the W&M Washington Center preferred caterer. We use them for everything. MK is fantastic and can provide service at various levels from continental breakfast to lunches, snack breaks, and large dinner receptions. They are easy to work with, well staffed, and pay close attention to detail. They make everything look beautiful, and will work with you to acheive your vision. They can do drop-off service or provide servers and bartenders. MK knows W&M and the Center space intimately. We highly recommend MK Catering for all events and suggest you start with their corporate catering menu. Contact Joseph Choueike directly for menu suggestions and proposals. Mention you are hosting your event with the W&M Washington Center.

Balducci's

An inexpensive but professional drop-off option for breakfast, lunch, or appetizers, Balducci's offers a variety of budget-friendly and delicious catering. Located in Alexandria, but able to deliver to the W&M Washington Center, this is a great option for most breakfast and lunch events.
