The team at Washington Inn Catering can plan your EVENT wherever your imagination takes you.

Washington Inn Catering was founded in 1987 as an extension of the award-winning Washington Inn & Wine Bar, originally opened by the Craig family in 1978. Built on decades of hospitality and culinary excellence, our catering team brings the same level of care, creativity, and professionalism that has defined the Inn for generations.

Over the years, we have helped countless clients bring their vision to life, from 300+ guest weddings to intimate 80th birthday celebrations and everything in between. Our experienced team works closely with you through every step of the planning process, ensuring every detail of your event is thoughtfully executed.

Based in historic Cape May, New Jersey, we have access to some of the region’s most beautiful venues, including breathtaking beachfront settings, vineyards, charming barns, and elegant blank-canvas spaces ready to be transformed.

At Washington Inn Catering, we take pride in our attention to detail and in creating memorable culinary experiences your guests will be talking about for years to come.
