    Great service and great food!

    Larkins catered our daughter's wedding which was held at the Huguenot downtown Greenville. As I was gathering quotes from other vendors, they were very quick with the initial phone calls to discuss menus and provide quotes. As we continued to work on the menu, they consistently responded quickly with any changes. They were easy to work with all along the way and we were very happy with the quality of our food and with the staff that worked the event. We got numerous compliments from our guests! The only hicupp was that we chose three food stations and they ended up being set up as a buffet. This caused a line that slowed the meal down. Partly my fault because I did not discuss the exact set up. But the guests all seem to take it in stride and the food and service were great so it all worked out. I would definitely recommend Larkin's!

    Larkin's Reception Catering

    My husband and I (and all of our wedding guests!) were absolutely blown away by Larkin's. From the first moment we met with Emily and did our tasting to the very end of our reception, we had an amazing experience. The food is incredible and Emily was able to accommodate and customize a menu for us. We were incredibly satisfied with the bar package, hors d'oeuvres, and small plate stations we chose. Emily was incredibly flexible as we made several changes leading up to our wedding day. We highly recommend Larkin's to anyone looking for an event caterer!

    Larkin's for a rehearsal dinner event

    Mara and the staff were just exceptional. Our guests were treated so well and the staff was very attentive and kind and just an absolute pleasure to work with. The wait staff and bartender worked so well together and the events of the evening were seamless. Mara and her team were so respectful of our memorable evening and never imposed but were always there to attend to my guests and make us all feel very welcome! And lastly, the food was delicious! All the guests raved about the food.

    Larkin's Catering for our wedding at the Wyche Pavilion

    Larkins and our rep Casey Finnen just helped make our wedding the most magical day ever down at the Wyche Pavilion in Greenville, SC! Casey has done so many weddings and had fabulous advice, and she is so organized it took the pressure off of us! The food was fabulous, the service was wonderful and every detail was covered from start to finish! I highly recommend using these folks! You won't be disappointed!

    Great Experience!

    Our daughter was married in October 2019 at the L venue. Bri did an amazing job! She chose our entire menu and it was delicious! She took care of the sound system with the band and it was perfect! Bri is so easy to talk with and she took care of everything I was concerned about. I highly recommend the L! Thank you Bri for all your hard work and making it a night to remember!

    Easy to work with!

    Working with Larkins was honestly one of the easiest parts of planning our wedding! Bri S was so easy to work with, always responded promptly to my concerns and never failed to come up with a new idea on how to better serve my husband and I in having exactly what we envisioned! I appreciated how she was cost conscious with our budget and never felt like I was being forced into something. When COVID-19 hit we had to make some adjustments as expected but even making these changes was easy. The staff on the day of at the Cabaret Room were quick, professional and kind. Our rehearsal was at Limoncello too and the staff was excellent there as well. We are so glad we chose to work with Larkins for our wedding and can't wait to make some more visits back!

    All around wonderful experience!

    Bri & Larkin’s made sure that everything was perfect leading up to our big day, and went above and beyond to accommodate us. On our wedding day we were absolutely blown away! The decor was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and we felt completely taken care of and were able to sit back and enjoy the moment. I would absolutely recommend Larkin’s venues & Bri Sizemore. We could not be more satisfied with our experience.

    Bri Sizemore Sales/ Event Manager Larkins

    Bri and Larkins were amazing! We planned the wedding over a year ago and had to change our original date of May 30th. We moved it to July 19, which unfortunately was during the COVID spike!! Larkins and Bri did everything they could to follow all mandated safety protocol, while making sure the wedding fulfilled all the dreams of the bride and groom. They allowed us to use two separate venues, instead of all at same location, to allow us to accommodate our guest count safely. All staff was professional and trained. Ceremony was at the L and was stunning! The reception at Revel was an absolute blast. The food was delicious and layout was amazing! The team led by Bri turned what could have been a disaster, into a beautiful, flawless event. We can’t say enough about how great they were! According to my daughter and her new husband it was “ the best weekend of their lives, beyond their wildest dreams!” That’s says it all! Deepest thanks to Bri Siezmore and the entire Larkins team!

    A Fairy Tale Experience

    Larkin's has many venues to choose from but the Sawmill really exceeded our expectations. We fell in love with the wonderful views of the rock wall, indoor foundation, fireplace, and the overall intimacy and coziness of the main & patio rooms. The food was delicious and Bri, our Sales Manager, was by our side every step of the planning process, even when our wedding had to be postponed due to Covid-19.

    The best in Greenville!!!

    My husband and I had our wedding at The L and it was the best experience to work with the Larkin's staff. Our event specialist was Bri and we could not have been luckier to have her helping us with our big day. She was knowledgeable, flexible, experienced, and accommodating. I did not have a wedding planner and she was just a call or email away to help answer any questions I had (which was frequent). We got to look at the space several times and have a tasting at Larkin's restaurant with our parents. The venue was absolutely perfect and Bri and the staff set-up exactly what I had envisioned. Not to mention, the food was SO good. We chose to do a buffet and had several compliments from our guests that it was the best wedding food they ever had, and we agreed! I could go on and on, but if you want to have and amazing wedding experience, go with Larkin's, they are the best in Greenville!!! Thank you Bri and Larkin's we wish we could relive that day over and over!

    Amazing food!

    Larkin's did a wonderful job catering our wedding! The food was delicious and they made all the serving stations move quickly for our large wedding so no one had to deal with lines. Bri was incredible to work with - so responsive and helpful! As an added bonus, they sent to go boxes of food to our hotel room at the end of the night so it was there waiting for us which was amazing. I would choose them again in a second!

    Perfect In every way!

    We could not be happier with our experience with Larkin’s. Our reception was perfect! We planned everything from 1000 miles away which can be stressful. However, Bri and the staff at Larkin’s made this process as easy as possible. Emails and questions were all answered in a timely matter and Bri made sure all of the tiniest details were taken care of. The venue was beautiful and food delicious. We continue to receive compliments from our guests who traveled from all over the country to celebrate with us. If you are looking for great service, an incredible venue and delicious food, this is your chance!

    Catering Made Easy

    Courtney was a DREAM! Food was very important to us and played a large part of the experience of our wedding. We value Family Dinners and wanted to share that with our guests with an Italian Family Dinner. Courtney worked with us on creating a custom menu and smoothing out the logistics with having our space flipped.

    Our Dinner was not only served well and quickly, but tasted incredible! Three months later and we still here about the Gnocchi, Meatballs, and Spaghetti!

    Thank you Courtney for being so attentive in making our dinner fabulous! We are so happy with how everything turned out!

    Book with Larkin's so you can have fun planning the rest!

    Larkin's took care of us from the very beginning. We did experience some transitions in our sales manager throughout the year after we booked with them. Once Bri was on our event, that was a game changer! The experience was good leading up to that point, but Bri is special! She LOVES her job and it is obvious. She made sure all the details were arranged the way we had discussed and worked so well with our day-of coordinator (and allowed her to do her job!) The food was amazing. The staff are the best around!! Professional and kind and knew the drinks many of our guests preferred so they had it ready by the time they got to the bar. We booked Larkin's and never looked back. Would recommend for the couple who wants to be creative and let the venue handle the big pieces (space, linens, tables, catering, etc) so you can have fun with the rest!

    Family Style Italian - YES PLEASE!!!

    So I come from an Italian family and food is important to me. I was a little nontraditional in the sense I did not want a plated meal or buffet but wanted the table to be a place of conversation. Larkin's was amazing at make this a reality. We had family style spaghetti, meatballs, gnocchi and caprese salad. Not only did the food taste incredible but the presentation on the tables was beautiful. Courtney Hamilton blew it out of the water with making what seemed strange into something unforgettable.

    Amazing experience

    We chose Larkin's because the space was exactly what we wanted and the staff was amazingly helpful. Our ceremony was in the courtyard and reception in the Shirley Roe Cabaret Room. Bri was our coordinator and took care of everything. I wasn't going to have flowers - I didn't want to deal with them or pay for them. But Bri ran with the few ideas I gave her. Everything was incredible and just what I had imagined. The whole day was planned perfectly. I was not stressed at all and I got so many compliments on how beautiful the wedding was. The food was delicious and Larkin's staff made sure Russ and I had plates and that we actually ate at the reception. They even prepared take home plates for us, which was great since we didn't get to eat much. I would definitely recommend them, to anyone. It was perfect.

    We requested appetizers and an open bar cocktail hour, a seated dinner for 207 guests with an open bar and wine/champagne service during dinner, as well as assistance with serving the cake. The food was perfectly cooked and the right temperature. I don't know how they delivered this with a seated dinner of that size, but I can't imagine the food being any better. Guests have been raving to me about how it was the best wedding steak they have ever had. I would recommend them to anyone. Very professional and on top of it. Expensive but worth it for the best.

    You can't go wrong with the Larkin's team!

    Working with the Larkin's team to plan and coordinate our wedding was a breeze. Nicole was so sweet from the first time we met her and she made sure that our ceremony ran exactly how we had imagined it. The bartender/servers that were assigned to our wedding were incredibly nice and they did a wonderful job. Our favorite server from Larkin's, Serenity, even popped up and brought us our favorite drink. Thank you to the entire Larkin's team for making our special day truly one-of-a-kind!

    My wedding reception was at Larkin's "L," so this review is for the space as well as the catering. I could not have been more happy with the level of service I received. This is probably a more expensive venue on the spectrum in Greenville, but the value is tremendous. I'd like to specifically thank Nicole at Larkin's, who was ultra responsive, super helpful, and incredibly easy-going while still knowing exactly what she was talking about and making great recommendations. Larkin's has many venues so they've been doing this for a while - trust them and what they recommend, but know that you can ask for something that is off-menu or unique, and they'll be happy to see what they can do. Thank you!

    We are so incredibly glad we went with Larkins. First of all, you can’t beat the food. Our people kept coming up to us saying “this food is amazing!” And there was plenty of it. We loved that they had our food ready and waiting for us when we sat down, even though we did a buffet, which meant we actually got a meal in. The bartenders were wonderful, the wait staff so helpful. And our coordinator, Jennifer, was the best. Every question, every issue, she just handled so easily... by the time the wedding day came we were able to relax and enjoy because we had such trust in her. The cabaret room looks amazing in our pictures, and our guests were so thankful we went with an indoor venue and beat the heat. Just can’t say enough good things about Larkins across the board. And an extra tip- get blocks of rooms at the Embassy and Westin- both are within walking distance and our guests were thrilled with the arrangement!
