Chef Penelope is the greatest caterer in Nashville! Food is creative, delicious, beautiful, reasonably priced, all homemade and gourmet. Her staff is impeccable and in tune with the vibe of the party. I plan dozens of catered events a year and Penelope is my first choice every time.

I had the pleasure of working with Chef Penelope and her wonderful team to prepare the bar services for my son's and his bride's wedding. Chef Penelope took great care to personally answer my questions and to offer suggestions about how the bar service would work most effectively. Chef Penelope was on sight during the entire event and managed every aspect of the bar service and the toast to the bride and groom. Her team was friendly and constantly in motion to serve guests. I am so grateful for Chef Penelope and her team as they created a wedding for my son and his bride that was a spectacular and enjoyable event.

My daughter’s wedding was December 8, 2012 at The Red House in Franklin, TN.
Chef Penelope did all of our catering and I can’t say enough good things about her and her entire staff. We opted for hors d'oeuvres instead of a meal and the suggestions Chef Penelope made were perfect. The food was amazing. So many of the guests came up to me to tell me how good everything was.

I had also bought some cups, plates, plastic wear etc for the bar and the cake tables and I just handed them to Chef Penelope and she made sure they were placed where they needed to be. It really helped me out a lot.

I couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. I would highly recommend Chef Penelope to anyone who needs a caterer in the Nashville area.

Thank you, Chef Penelope, for everything that you did to make my daughter’s special day so perfect.

Chef Penelope and her team were responsive, flexible, and provided expert guidance in helping us to plan my daughter's wedding dinner reception. She delivered on all that was promised, and more. The food was fabulous and received rave reviews. It was a great value for the money, and I would highly recommend her for any catered event you may be planning.

Chef Penelope is just fabulous. Not only is the food so yummy, she catered to my guests allergies. I had one guest with a nut allergy and one with a dairy allergy. She made a separate dish non dairy, and was cautious with any nut contamination. If I had any questions, they were quick to respond on email. Everything was just perfect!

Chef Penelope is an amazing caterer. Her and her staff are a delight to work with. They were all very professional and met all our our needs. The food was amazing and so was the display. Thank you for catering our wedding. You are a true gem in the industry!

I asked for a fresh southern/farmer's market type menu and Chef Penelope nailed it! I heard so many good things from all of our family & friends about how delicious everything was and people repeatedly used the exact word "fresh" to describe it because of the great produce and ingredients utilized. Several people said it was the BEST WEDDING FOOD they had ever had!!! The presentation was fabulous as well.

I feel like the food leaves behind one of the strongest impressions with the guests (besides the ceremony of course!) and I couldn't be happier we went with Chef Penelope. The staff was also very professional and helpful and at the end of the night they even prepared a to-go basket of food for us with sparkling cider and a sunflower! How cute?! Overall the experience exceeded my expectations.

Chef Penelope and her team were amazing all the way around! We heard SO many of our guests rave over the food. Dechari was especially accommodating and fun to work with. They also sent us with two to-go boxes (which was a surprise to us) that we demolished (and needed!) later that night. We highly recommend Chef P!

I wanted a unique "southern" style menu. After speaking with several caterers, I contacted Chef Penelope and she designed a menu to fit exactly what I wanted. The presentation of the food was beautiful, and the food itself was delicious. Chef Penelope was there personally to see that everything went perfect, and even the guests commented on her professionalism and how attentive her staff was. I would highly recommend Chef Penelope!

Chef Penelope and Dechari were so extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process! Chef penelope was very flexible and willing to work with our budget, as well as what our overall vision for the wedding. During the reception she went above and beyond what she needed to do and went around asking guests if they wanted/needed anything else. And her food was AMAZING! I loved all of it and we got so many compliments about how great our food and menu were. At the end of the night she even made my husband and I a picnic basket with all the food that we ate as a midnight snack :) She was absolutely lovely and I am so extremely glad we chose her!!!!

My daughter wanted a beautiful fall wedding with food that everyone would remember as being absolutely wonderful. We wanted food that would appeal to all types but with a presentation that looked completely upscale and that is what we accomplished. I only wish I could have more parties so that I could have Chef Penelope and her staff cater. They are professional in everything they do. I have had so many friends comment on the food and the staff. She made that part of our wedding so easy.

Chef Penelope and her team are awesome. She makes the BEST food (our guests RAVED about the white truffle and asiago mac and cheese and the delicious Carnitas station!

Penelope is sweet and fun to work with and she truly cares that you are happy. They set up the food in such a beautiful way.

I highly recommend her!!

Chef Penelope and her staff were amazing! The food tasted delicious and we got lots of compliments on it. The lamb chop lolipops were out of this world. :) Her staff was great - very interactive with our guests and helpful. She was very helpful in coming up with a menu that had both my taste and my grooms. She even came up with a 'Smores bar for the light night crowd - that totally won everyone over. We were extrememly satisfied!

Chef Penelope was absolutely fantastic to work with! Not only was she so fun to work with, but her food was incredible too! Many of my friends have recently been married and they were so jealous of our food. Chef Penelope and her staff went above and beyond for us! We wanted to personalize a certain food station because it 100% represented us as a couple. We packed up a tote full of fun pictures and other items and Penelope made sure that they made it onto the station table and then packed into the tote at the end of the night! She was wonderful! We could not have been more pleased!! We actually still sit and talk about how much we want to go back to that night so that we can eat again! :)

Chef Penelope was an AMAZING chef. Everyone who attended our wedding was blown away with not only how great the food was but how it was presented. My husband and I can not thank her enough for all she did to make the food at our wedding a hit. The price couldn't have been any better either!! Best Caterer in Nashville for sure!

Chef Penelope and her team were absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Penelope was always easy to get in touch with and responded quickly to emails and phone calls. She is extremely friendly and does her job well. It is easy to see that she has a lot of experience in event catering and her attention to detail and professionalism was wonderful. I felt completely confident having her handle the catering for my wedding. She and her staff were on time, fulfilled their duties (and more!) and had everything completely cleaned up and removed before I even realized it! They were so quick and courteous and we had so many compliments on the food and the staff. I was so happy we got the chance to work with Chef Penelope!
