Amazing Chips & Queso!

My husband and I were wanting to serve elevated Mexican food at our wedding. Chef's market did not disappoint with the taco bar buffet they set up! We got so many compliments on the food, the chips and queso are to die for, and the service was incredible! I would recommend this company for any of your event needs - they are professional, accommodating, and the food is top-notch! We loved our entire experience with them and will be visiting the restaurant for more food (especially their chips and queso) in the future!

Loved chef's market!

We used Chef’s Market for our wedding dinner. Our guests absolutely loved it, and we received countless compliments on the appetizers and meal. We chose the Jack Daniels’ braised short ribs and shrimp and grits as our entrées. For the appetizers we chose hot chicken sliders, beef tenderloin crostini, bacon topped deviled eggs, crab cakes, fried green tomato with pimento cheese, and avocado tacos. Everything was fantastic!

Would Highly Recommend!

Best food I've ever had at a wedding. We had a plated dinner and had a great experience. Food was warm, service was excellent. In particular would recommend the edamame bite and deviled egg as apps, the winter pear salad, mushroom and gruyere risotto, the hot chicken in a waffle cone, and the mini cannolis (A+).

Fabulous Food and Organized Team!

The Chef’s market teams are definitely Pros! They have tons of options to customize for your event. My guests were so complimentary of all the food and they were great about various dietary needs. When we walked out of our ceremony chefs market had apps ready for my husband and i, which was so considerate. The service was incredible and planning was low stress with such a responsive and polite team of planners. I definitely would pick chefs market again for any future events!

Highly recommend

I had Chef's Market catered for my June wedding. Sam and Jennifer were responsive and on top of everything. We did a taco station and everyone loved it; it wasn't too heavy and perfect for a summer day. The German Chocolate cake was delicious but the coconut cake was the crowd favorite. There were zero issues; the staff were professional and we truly felt taken care of.

Best wedding food!

We hired Chef's Market for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made that day. They helped us to curate a menu that was true to us, and the guests raved about the food and desserts. Emily and Hallie were a pleasure to work with, and we can't recommend them enough!

Southern Elegance Dinner

Chef's provided delicious appetizers and dinner for our wedding guests. When we requested southern elegance as our dining style, they delivered and then some with local and southern cuisine. We had a handful of dietary restrictions (nut allergy, gluten free, vegetarian, and black pepper allergies) and they handled it without issue, ensuring that all necessary preparations were managed safely.

Outstanding Service and Delicious Food

Chef's Market not only provided delicious food for our big day, but they also went above and beyond to accommodate many of the food allergies, dietary restrictions, and other concerns our guests had. I am deeply impressed with their quality of service before and during the event. We received many compliments from our guests during the night about how tasty everything was.

Chef's Market did all of the food for my own wedding and was an a absolute joy to work with! I got so many compliments on how delicious everything was (especially that Smoked Gouda mac and cheese!!) and Taylor handled everything beautifully. The fact that they have a restaurant so close to Nashville is just icing on the cake!
