Fall-ing in love with this gorgeous day at 8 Chains Winery 🍂✨

Last fall, we had the joy of celebrating DJ & Ryan’s wedding surrounded by golden leaves, cozy winery charm, and so much love. A true autumn dream come to life!

Our events team is officially full fall wedding season swing and we can’t wait for more beautiful weddings like this one. 💜

Labor Day weekend is sneaking up! Between back-to-school chaos and end-of-summer craziness, a little food inspiration never hurts. Think smoky BBQ brisket, tender smoked chicken, and delicious herb panko mac and cheese. 🍗🧀🔥

It’s the perfect lineup for soaking up these last few summer weekends. We’ve got your back with the ideas! Happy back-to-school and here’s to making summer count right up to the end! 💜

Fall weddings, we see you… 👀🥰

While we looooove warm weather and taking some time for vacations, there’s a part of us already looking forward to crisp 60 degree air, apple scented candles, beautiful fall foliage and of course, the stunning weddings that come with it.

Christopher and Erin’s River Farm wedding last October had the most gorgeous colors on the tables and in the trees! We can’t wait for more breathtaking fall celebrations in 2025. 🍂

Forever and ever. 💙

We’re so happy to have the photos from K&T’s stunning July wedding at Shadow Creek!

The soft blue hues paired perfectly with the rustic wood tones of the spectacular barn. This sweet couple radiated joy, and every detail of their day reflected their love and style beautifully. Our personal favorite touch were the pet themed signature drinks! 🐾😊

✨ We’re featured in Washingtonian Weddings! ✨

What a wonderful week for our team at Purple Onion Catering! We’re BEYOND thrilled to be featured in the August 2025 issue of Washingtonian Weddings for Vriti & Jeremiah’s stunning celebration at the National Arboretum. From the serene garden ceremony to the golden hour glow behind the columns, this September day was nothing short of magical.

Lots of love to event designer Phoebe, who brought each thoughtful detail to life with care and creativity. 💜

And of course! Much love to the amazing vendor team who helped make the magic happen:
