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!

Best wedding caterer around

Black Eyed Susan took care of everything we needed for our catering and bartending on the day of our wedding. All the food was cooked on site so everything was super fresh. They had amazing appetizers for our cocktail hour. The mashed potatoes with leek butter at dinner was the biggest hit!!!!

The best wedding food I have ever tasted!

I married the love of my life on June 15, 2024 and the first thing we searched for was our catering team. If you are going to have a party, you must have amazing food, right!? I think this was my biggest concern for the wedding day! I knew right away during the tasting that the food would be the last thing I will need to worry about, because the tasting was incredible! I could go on and on about the appetizers! Then came the main course, the chicken was absolutely delicious, juicy and well prepared! The steak was very well marinated and tender. All of the sides were fantastic as well. I was truly so happy we found Black Eyed Susan!!! Everyone enjoyed their dinner and it was a beautiful night!! Here is my friend AJ loosing his mind over the Chicken Cone passed app in the photo attached…Definitely book this team and get ready for an excellent tasting experience!

The best team ever!

Working with the Black Eyed Susan team was amazing. I have nothing but great things to say, and so did our guests! We had a family style soul food dinner and delicious cookies and mini pies to finish. Nothing but amazing reviews about the fried chicken and trout! The staff is so welcoming and friendly- truly an amazing experience all around. Thank you for helping make our wedding anniversary celebration/ COVID wedding a breeze!!!

lovely, delicious, personalized dinner--thanks to Black-Eyed Susan

From our first conversation until the wedding was over, working with Cynthia was a true pleasure. She is creative, positive, funny, easy-going, and very energetic, and she's brilliant when it comes to all things culinary. She created recipes just for us, and they were wonderful!

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!

A Party in my Mouth

From planning to execution, the Black-eyed Susan team was 5 star. Head chef and organizer Cynthia was a pleasure to work with and gave needed guidance as to what and how to serve our wedding guests at a Covid-era reception. We enjoyed the seasonal selections and emphasis on fresh and local with artful presentation. Everything tasted amazing-like a party in my mouth. Cynthia was very accommodating and flexible as we finalized our plan. She worked closely with the wedding planner to order appropriate rentals. The wait staff gave excellent service and paid special attention to the bride and groom to make sure they got to enjoy the appetizers and a fully-packed "to go" box. I would highly recommend Black-eyed Susan Catering.

Great experience!

From start to finish this company was excellent! They were so personable and easy to communicate with, which is exactly what we needed while planning an out of town wedding. They worked with us on creating a menu that was perfect for us and our guests and we were blown away by every bit of it! Definitely recommend!

Amazing Service and Delicious Food

We were so happy that we found Cynthia and Black Eyed Susan Catering. We had a multi-cultural wedding (Italian and Mexican) and Cynthia went above and beyond to ensure both cultures were represented. For dinner, we had two food stations that served tacos and lasagna. Everything was so incredible delicious and our guest all commented on how great the food was. Cocktail hour was also incredible and guest loved the past appetizers and the brie station. Blacked Eyed Susan's staff were all incredible friendly and provided incredible service. They even went out of their way to put set up a private room for myself and my husband during cocktail hour with food and drinks so we could enjoy the food. On top of that, the price was beyond fair and Cynthia worked with us to maintain our budget. I feel like this review does not do Cynthia and her team enough justice. We are so incredibly grateful for everything that she did.
