Wonderful service, wonderful food!

We used Salthouse as our catering service for our wedding on 12/02/23 and let me just say...they were WONDERFUL. We worked with Jacqueline for our catering needs and she did an amazing job of keeping us informed, helping us in decision making, and staying on budget. The food was SO SO yummy and we got so many compliments from guests and vendors on all the yummy food!!

Just wow!

What an amazing experience we had with Salthouse! We used Salthouse to cater our wedding and they exceeded our expeditions by a long shot. Three months later and we still have wedding guests tell us it’s best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. We worked with Jacqueline who is the absolute BEST! Not only does she have an amazing team of professionals that she works with, but she went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our day. Without Jacqueline the day would have gone a lot differently! I highly recommend Salthouse to ANYONE looking for a great experience, amazing food, and lots of options. Salthouse was also willing to work with our dietary restrictions, which was huge for us! 11/10!

The best !

I think we knew from our tasting that we would choose Salthouse for our wedding. The food was delicious and most of the ingredients are locally sourced. I didn’t know flank steak could be so tender and SO good. And oh my goodness the shrimp and grits and butternut squash ravioli. Multiple guests came up to us throughout the night to tell us how delicious the food was, some of whom were event planners themselves. Jacqueline was wonderful to work with from day 1, helped us to accommodate specialty and kids meals for guests and always responded to emails promptly. Choosing all of your wedding vendors is a daunting task so from one recent local Charleston bride to future brides, I highly recommend Salthouse and hope this is helpful!
