    Great service!

    The best catering service out there, Stephanie and her team were so amazing on my big day. She always answered any of my questions and always went above and beyond for me, the food was so amazing and I got to try the items before hand and was able to switch or add anything I wanted before the wedding. A must book!

    Great food, great service

    Country Lane Catering went above and beyond for our wedding. I can’t thank them enough for how it all turned out. We had two guests that required special plates due to allergies and they were extremely accommodating. Our favorites were the southwest egg rolls, crab cakes, and roasted potato salad. I would definitely recommend booking them and hope we have an opportunity to use them again!

    Absolutely amazing!

    My husband & I had Stephanie cater our wedding on 08/27/2022 in King George, VA. Today is 01/22/2024, I STILL have people complementing our food! We have decided that each year for our anniversary, we will have Stephanie cater for us. When my husband retires, she will be getting a call to cater his party if he wants one! You will NOT be disappointed!

    Amazing food, great expertise

    Stephanie's service goes above and beyond her incredible food. She thinks about the bride and groom's experience. She ensured we had meals waiting for us and even midnight meals As far as service, we wanted something slightly different and she had the best advice for us and made us feel like we were in the best hands, and we were! Our day was amazing. Highly recommend!

    Great Food Great Price!

    Country Lane Catering was a delight to work with from start to finish. Stephanie made the process seamless and provided a “date-like” taste test for my wife and I. She helped us create our menu for the evening, which everyone enjoyed, especially the smoked chicken leg quarters and THE CORNBREAD! Stephanie was also honest throughout the process and helped us with accurate counts for the food as when we told her how many guests we had. Most of the food was gone at the end of the night. They were on time for our reception and by far one of the easiest vendors to work with for our wedding. Stephanie was personable and kind through booking to delivery. Thank you again!

    Affordable, High-Quality Caterer

    My husband and I are pretty big foodies and are especially particular when it comes to BBQ and macaroni and cheese, which we knew we wanted to serve at our wedding. We searched far and wide to find the best Southern-style buffet food and Country Lane Catering was the winner BY FAR. We set up a tasting about a year out from our wedding and we were simply blown away by the food. We booked Stephanie and her team immediately and had nothing but positive experiences from then on! Stephanie is very responsive to emails and calls and is always willing to provide suggestions about catering, the flow of the reception, and wedding planning in general. She was willing to work with me to try to find blue and white China plates to match my decor and even let us come visit her space again to see what options for plates/silverware she had. The food they served us at the wedding was top notch- guests have still not stopped talking about that Mac and cheese!! We ended up doing a plated salad with a buffet of BBQ/brisket, macaroni and cheese, green beans, corn bread, and potato salad. The flow of guests to and from the buffet went smoothly and everyone throughly enjoyed the meal. Stephanie also created the most AMAZING white peach sangria for my signature drink and we could not get enough of it! We also booked Stephanie for some additional services including bartending (we had two bartenders and there was never a line at the bar!), trash removal, and silverware/cup/wine glass rental. Overall, we had a wonderful experience working with Stephanie and her team and I highly recommend Country Lane Catering if you’re looking for amazing food and excellent service!

    Absolutely amazing from start to finish!!!!

    Stephanie and her team are absolutely amazing! The food was phenomenal all my guests were beyond happy and fully satisfied with everything that was offered. We did heavy hors d'oeuvres and everybody left with a full belly, and we still had a little bit that's for us to munch on after our wedding. Stephanie answers all questions and concerns and put you all at ease taking all worry away. She was always responsive and answered anything that I was unsure about. I highly recommend getting their shrimp and grits, Chicken and waffles, brisket, fried mac and cheese bites, well basically now I'm just lifting off my whole menu LOL everything was spectacular and people are still telling me. I would absolutely hire her and her team again to handle any future events hands down!!!!!

    Off the charts!

    We can hardly put into words how happy we are with our decision to go with Country Lane Catering. Stephanie is an absolute professional. She is extremely easy to work with and truly knows her stuff and went above and beyond for us. She helped us with how the reception was going to go and gave us so many tips that made the day perfect for us and our guests. On week later and our guests are STILL raving about the food. Everything was perfectly cooked, our buffet line went quickly, and we hardly had any leftovers since so many guests went up for more! Get the cornbread, you won’t regret it! Our guest list was over 100 people and the Country Lane team handled it with ease. The bartenders rocked it, too! Great price, great people, great food. We couldn’t ask for anything better!

    People keep asking about the food

    I am blown away by the food that was provided. Stephanie was SO helpful. I got so much help from her throughout the process and she was so amazing with quick responses and helpful answers

    Country Lane Catering's reply:

    Thank you Kathryn. It was a pleasure serving you and your guests. Everyone was so delightful and you are a very beautiful bride. Best wishes to you both as you start your new life together!

    Great food and a friendly team!

    We hired Country Lane Catering for our wedding reception this past May and they absolutely exceeded our expectations! We had a beautiful display of charcuterie and cheese during our cocktail hour and a wide array of delicious dishes for dinner. Their summer squash was amazing!

    Stephanie was really helpful in making sure we had everything we needed. I felt at ease knowing that her and her team could help us out with so much! The team was a pleasure to work with as they were very professional, but also very friendly!

    I would definitely hire these guys / gals again! They did a great job.

    Professional, Positive, Easy to Work With

    Stephanie and her team know what they are doing! I got to work with them as a day-of coordinator twice now and they are punctual in communicating, great at brainstorming creative ideas, easy to work with, and their food is delicious.

    We recently had Country Lane Catering for our daughter’s wedding (140 guests). In all respects, Stephanie and her team hit a Home Run! The food was amazing and we got tons of compliments from the guests. In every category, from appetizers to entrees to desserts, people were telling us “This is the best _____ I’ve ever had.” (especially East North Carolina BBQ, tapas bar, mac and cheese, warm potato salad, and to-die-for corn bread!) The service was excellent, the staff was very responsive and available – for example, you didn’t have to search for an hors d'oeuvres server during the happy hour. Stephanie’s team provided bartending services for us, too, which saved us money because once the initial rush at the bars was done, some of the staff moved to the meal prep. For another cost saving, we used their mismatched china option and the table settings were stunning. Stephanie was great to work with, we always felt in good hands and got excellent insight and advice as we were making the myriad decisions involved. They also went above and beyond, like getting additional linen to match our color scheme and providing for special off-menu requests. All in all, the quality of the food and the professionalism of service were outstanding, and we think the cost was very reasonable, too. We heartily recommend Country Lane Catering for any event!

    My husband and I were getting a little nervous as our wedding date approached and we didn’t have a caterer chosen, but we’re so glad we stumbled upon Country Lane. Stephanie is a fabulous chef and a great person overall. We were both impressed with all of her food during the tasting, and we appreciated how accommodating she was in helping us to create the perfect menu for our wedding. She also created a special treat as our guests’ wedding favor upon our request, which the guests loved. Our guests raved about the crab cakes - they are amazing! Stephanie’s staff members were very nicely dressed during the reception, and they were very efficient in clearing guests’ plates and making sure my husband and I were well attended to throughout the reception. The bartender was also great in efficiently taking care of everyone at the bar. My husband and I are very glad we chose Country Lane to help make our day perfect!

    Country Lane Catering was one of the best decisions we have made about planning our wedding. The food was to die for and the staff was so generous, friendly, and professional. We loved working with Stephanie from day 1. She really knows how to run a successful business and all the details that go into planning the perfect catering event. I would highly recommend them! My family absolutely loved working with Stephanie and Mark- so kind and very skilled. The food was by far one of the greatest highlights of our wedding :)

The food is delicious and the service and set up on the day of were very professional. We received so many compliments about both! We would highly recommend Country Lane Catering as a wedding caterer!

    I cannot say enough on how amazing Stephanie and her team at Country Lane were. From the start of planning to the end, Stephanie was amazing. The food is to die for, and you truly get so much more than expected. Her team went above and beyond to serve the most delicious food I have ever had. EVERYONE and I mean everyone was raving about how good it was. Stephanie is so kind and so dedicated to what she does, and it's extremely apparent in the hard work and dedication.

    As the other reviewers have shown, Country Lane Catering is five stars all the way. Stephanie was incredibly accommodating and one of the nicest people I've worked with. Their prices were extremely affordable, and guests raved about how amazing the food was (which is a rarity at a wedding, where the food tends to be bland, at best). We did a tasting before booking with Country Lane, and we booked them on the spot because the food was that good. I can't recommend them enough!

    Country Lane's menu was the first thing that attracted me to them. I sent an email and Stephanie called me the same day to discuss options and set up a tasting. The food was delicious, she was very personable and professional and we booked them right away. At the wedding we had North Carolina pulled pork w/coleslaw, fried chicken, and shrimp and grits. We also did the country ham sweet potato biscuits and a few other selections for cocktail hour. The cornbread was the best I have ever had in my life. Everything was delicious and every one at the wedding kept complimenting it. The staff was excellent and professional and the pricing was on point with what I expected. Everything went flawlessly and they were true professionals.

    Absolutely the best catering service around! When our guests recall our wedding, one of the first things they say is how amazing the food was! From the mouth-watering BBQ to the corn-on-the-cob bar, everything was beyond delicious. I would try anything they serve!

    Furthermore, Stephanie & her team went above and beyond to ensure the food stations, bar, & table settings were decorated to fit our "country chic" theme.

    Country Lane has my highest recommendation! We could not have been more pleased on such an important day.

    Stephanie and her staff are amazing and did a fantastic job with our wedding. Stephanie is so kind and so easy to work with. She wants you to have exactly what you want, and she makes sure you get it, even if you don't ask! Her tastings are generous, and her food is excellent. I had a bridesmaid who is a vegetarian and Stephanie remembered this months after she had asked me if any of my guests were vegetarians, and made my friend a special, separate meal on the day of the wedding so that she had more to eat, since some of our chosen dishes contained meat. She also cares about matching your decoration, style, theme, and mood. Country Lane Catering does a great job! Thank you Stephanie!
