10/10 highly recommend Black Eyed Susan Catering!

We cannot say enough good things about Cynthia and the Black Eyed Susan catering team! They went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable and we’re still getting compliments from guests about how amazing and flavorful the food was! Not only was the food delicious, but they were also willing to work with us to provide a family style meal and travel to our non-traditional mountain venue and cook everything fresh on-site. The level of service was incredible and the attention to detail was evident in every dish, down to the decorative flower on each serving tray! Cynthia was professional, flexible, and so easy to work with. Their dedication to making sure everything was perfect, including all food allergies were attended to, really shone through. We are so grateful and highly recommend Black Eyed Susan Catering for anyone looking for a top-notch, memorable catering experience!

Most delicious food you will ever have!

My husband and I choose Blackeyed Susan Catering because of the food selection she offered. We knew that we didn't want the same menu that you get at every other wedding. Blackeyed Susan Catering offers upscale southern food. Cynthia worked with us on exactly what we wanted! Her and her server's were amazing. I had a strange request for her and her servers, wear a masquerade mask while serving my guests. And they did! It turned out wonderful! All of them were super friendly! My guests loved all the food stations! If you want a different, unique food selection for your wedding, you won't be disappointed with Blackeyed Susan Catering!
