About Us

Personal Attention Every Time.

Founded in 2008 by Javier Zerpa, Key Ingredients Catering takes pride in presenting its customers with the personal attention and creativity one expects when hosting an intimate dinner party, even when called upon to create larger and more complex events. We work closely with our customers to sort through the smallest of details and help coordinate colors, themes, linens, china patterns, lighting, tents, photography, transportation, parking, flowers, entertainment, music and more.

In addition to helping clients with fantastic one-time or annual events, Key Ingredients Catering also serves clients who require large-scale services, such as the Robert H. Smith School of Business and George Washington Business School. Key Ingredients Catering has previously been called upon to provide conference-type support for two or more consecutive days for as many as 500 guests, with breakfast, morning and afternoon breaks, lunch, reception and dinner, we can’t forget an unlimited number of Weddings, Galas, Graduations and others Social events.
