About

Our Mission Statement: To provide the highest quality of food and beverage service, professional customer service, and event organization in order to achieve maximum customer satisfaction

Coastal Catering and Events is a full service caterer. Our reputation for exquisitely catered foods and finely orchestrated event productions and planning has earned us the top spot among caterers in the Southeast from Wilmington NC to Myrtle Beach SC. Primarily focusing on Brunswick and New Hanover Counties in North Carolina, and Horry County in South Carolina, ensures that our mobile units and professional far-reaching staff can exceed your expectations.

Our attention to detail and utmost professionalism promises that your food will be cooked onsite, whether it is at The Lakes Country Club, at your beachfront home, at the phase opening of your development or at any of the many banquet halls available in our area.

Coastal Catering and Events will happily handle as many of the details involved in your wedding or special event as you would like. Should you be interested in additional Wedding Planning services, we will be happy to make recommendations.

Joe (owner & chef) is an extremely talented chef who truly understands food, and the particular demands of getting it from our kitchen to yours, while maintaining the integrity of our cuisine. Joe brings a new level of "wow" to our events, and loves the challenge and adrenaline rush of off-premise catering. Joe says he loves the challenge of developing new menus with knock-out presentations.
