We knew to expect the best when we booked Actual Food for our wedding, but even then, the Actual Food team exceeded all our expectations. Their exceptional service made us feel truly special, like guests of honor. Our guests couldn’t stop raving — it was, hands down, the best wedding dinner they had ever had (a sentiment echoed in countless other reviews!).

From start to finish, the Actual Food team helped bring our wedding dreams to life. Our guests were treated to something new with every chapter of the night — from welcome drinks to charcuterie boards to a beautiful dinner. The Actual Food team even built a stunning champagne tower which added an unforgettable touch of magic to the evening.

We are deeply grateful to Luke, Autumn, and the entire Actual Food team for helping make our day extraordinary. If you're looking for a fantastic and professional caterer, take our word for it. Actual Food is the one you want!

Food was one of the top priorities for our wedding and Actual Food delivered such exceptional service for our big day. From the beginning, we worked with Luke to provide a selection of our likes and dislikes and they were able to craft together an example menu for our fall wedding. From there, we were able to make changes to a few things based on what we liked and what we thought would serve our guests best. When a menu was set, we went in for a tasting of a few selections from the menu. Everything was delicious and gave us confidence that our guests would be satisfied on the big day. During cocktail hour, Actual Food provided bartending service for us as well as the passed appetizers and meat and cheese table. The passed appetizers were a hit, especially the hot chicken and waffle and fried green tomato and pimento cheese. For dinner, guests raved about the Piri Piri chicken, the sirloin and chimichurri sauce, sides, salad, and the rosemary biscuits. We had so many guests tell us how good the food was and how the selection was incredible for a wedding. Not only was the food tasty, but the service was great too. The staff made sure the tables were cleared, water glasses were filled, and were there to serve guests as they went through the buffet line. They even were able to cut our cake to serve to guests after our cake cutting. We highly recommend Actual Food for your big day!

We could not have been more lucky to have landed our caterers: Actual Food Nashville. The food was amazing, the service was impeccable, they created the menu exactly as we wanted, handled the bartending, the signature cocktails, it was all perfection. They made everything gluten-free as well! If you’re in Nashville or surrounding and need food for any type of party, I cannot recommend them more!!!!
