Super helpful

Ms Lynn was super attentive and helpful. She made our meet and greet dinner go smoothly, especially as it was raining and we were late getting started.
She worked to make our reception beautiful. Everything was perfect!

Guest Are Still Talking About the Food

Copper Cellar catered our wedding at The Reserve at Bluebird Hill. It was FANTASTIC!! People are still talking to this day about how delicious the food was. The brisket was a HUGE hit!! We absolutely loved it! Kimberly from the reserve decorated our food tables so beautifully!! I wish we had more photos of how incredible it all looked. You will not regret hiring them!

Outstanding Rehearsal Dinner Meal !

Calhoun's catered my rehearsal dinner party for approximately 100 guests. These guys are pros - they walked me through the whole process, made recommendations, provided linens, bartenders, a cake-cutting service, you name it. Michael Ashe, the banquet manager, was especially helpful and great to work with. Definitely order the beef brisket - no other way to describe but.....YUM. Highly recommend!

Copper Cellar, Patty and her staff did a phenomenal job on my August 11. 2018 wedding in Gatlinburg. Patty truly is a professional, there were absolutely no hiccups, everything went smooth. We chose Prime Rib, Shrimp, and Lemon Chicken as our entree's. Everything was restaurant quality and prepared properly, not banquet hall quality or typical rubber chicken and dried out beef you usually get at weddings . The bar service was excellent as well. My guests were very happy as well.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Cahoun's for 40 people in their upstairs private event space. The food was absolutely delicious, drinks were good, and service fantastic. Highly recommend!

I work at a resort which uses Calhoun's Catering for everything. The food is always on point and affordable. I have yet to have my reception with them, but I know that it will be wonderful and enjoyed by everyone present!!

I had my wedding reception at Calhoun's on the River. They did a fantastic job and everything was great! I came in multiple times before the wedding. They were always polite and accommodating and could meet with me whenever I needed. They don't assign any specific person to your event, but I was surprised at how seemlessly I could transition from talking with one person to the next. Everything still went perfectly without one specific person helping me. The food an service was fantastic. My husband and I are big on craft beer, so it was great to have in house craft brews able to provide. They also had good wine options to serve. Everyone was so helpful leading up and especially at my reception. I am a detail person and was worried I was getting too specific and picky but they delivered on everything I asked to a t. I didn't have any stress over whether things were going how they were supposed to. I can't stress enough how easy they were to work with! Also our reception was in the evening so we had an amazing view of the river with the Henley Street bridge lit up. It was a great backdrop for pictures! Also, they were the best value I could find for the high quality they have. I compared several comparable venues with broken down venue, food, alcohol, linens, etc. costs. They came out as the best value (especially because there was no cost for the space rental itself) and there were no unexpected last minute charges.

Our reception was held at Calhoun's banquet center in Gatlinburg, TN. This place was absolutely perfect. I had a lot of contact with Patricia who was a huge asset to my wedding planning. We live in Ohio and had no way of going to TN to go around and pick out vendors and other places and Patricia was my go to person for suggestions on a DJ and baker. She was spot on with both! Enormous help for an out of state bride!
-The location was absolutely beautiful. It is a nice little location in the middle of Gatlinburg, but you feel like you are in a secluded venue with beautiful woods for the backdrop.
-The food was exceptional. ALL my guests stated that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. They were even able to customize the menu for my guests that were vegetarian and my 2 vegan guests. They went beyond the extra mile to meet my requests. My sister who is a vegan states that she was thrilled that they were able to make something so delicious for them when they usually have nothing they can eat at weddings.
-They were all so amazing that it made my wedding go so smooth. The staff were amazing and Patricia made everything so much easier on my part! I cannot express how perfect they made my reception. I am just so thankful!

The food was wonderful!! My whole family enjoyed the beef brisket and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. They were very professional and very reasonable price wise.
