About

Epting Events is a family business inspired by the distinct personality of the Southeast, a region where we have four decades of event design experience. Founder Lee Epting and son Ashley have stitched together a patchwork of friendly, professional and creative individuals; among us are chefs, bartenders, gardeners, florists, musicians, painters, filmmakers, historians, and of course, event planners. We are a team who gets excited when you ask us to design a custom cocktail, make your grandmother’s bread pudding, or create a menu using all heritage ingredients.

Epting menus are infused with the flavors of the South, enlivened by local tastes, presented with unique flair and served with Southern hospitality. Our creative comfort food provides a twist on the classic dishes of this region, offering savory and delightful fare for your guests. We pair delicious food with our floral, décor, and lighting design elements, while incorporating your personality to produce an affair that is uniquely yours- exciting, unforgettable, and above all else, fun.

The goal of the Epting Events blog is to be a resource to those planning weddings or events. We have been in the business for the past 35 years and have a lot to share! So hopefully, this blog will inspire creativity as well as answer a few of the many questions that surround a wedding.

Epting Events is the BEST!!

Lee and his team are incredible!! We had to downsize and move our wedding to the backyard of a private residence due to the virus. We were searching for a caterer and my fiancé's parents recommended Lee, a longtime family friend. Lee and his team made sure our day was perfect. They were able to replicate all of the food items that were on our original menu (including a raw bar!) and helped coordinate with our rental company to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was literally amazing -- we got so many compliments all night. Lee and his team are also extremely professional; they took care of every detail. Lee's experience in the business and unique ability to plan events really brought a special touch to the whole weekend. Highly recommend Epting Events!

Amazing Service

I recently got married and my main point of contact with Bethany. I will say, Bethany and her team are STELLAR. Hands down, such a pleasure working with Epting. They were the most responsive vendor on our venue's preferred list so we knew almost immediately to go with them. They provided the food, decor, and flowers for our wedding. We were a little nervous because we wanted a very Latin American wedding when it came down to the food. Epting did not disappoint. During our tasting, everything was explained and the food (AND CAKES) were so good. Kimberly was excellent with decor and floral. We had to move the wedding reception into the ceremony space because of the rain but their team was so on top of everything. Lastly, everyone raved about the food and the flowers. Many people said it was the best wedding meal, cake, and flowers they have ever seen at a wedding. Totally worth it!

Where to begin?

Epting Catering does more than just food (even though their food is out of this world). They provide unparalleled service, professionalism and care about these events like they're their own. We ended up with a worst case scenario (freezing rain, flooding, etc.), and they rolled up their sleeves to make it a perfect, perfect day. Above and beyond only begins to describe them.

Now for the food... I am STILL hearing people talk about it. Things like the gumbo, fried oysters, pralines. Could not have been happier with everything they provided. Already booked for my sister's wedding in October 2019!!

We used Epting for our daughter's wedding and could not have been happier! Everything was perfect - from the planning for months to the actual wedding day!. The food was excellent as well as the flowers and all decorations. Bethany was the wedding planner and I cannot say enough nice about her! She was on top of everything from start to finish!!!!!

I recently used Epting to help with my local Athens wedding. Since I live in California we were looking for a company that could handle a lot of the logistics for us and Epting did just that! We had Epting do the catering, decorations, flowers, etc and we were beyond pleased! We got compliments from our guests on how delicious the food was and how beautiful everything looked! Bethany was an absolute delight to work with and I would recommend her to everyone!!! Thanks Epting!

After communicating with all 3 potential caterers at my venue, I knew quickly that Epting was the best choice. They were responsive, kind and helpful and made it so easy to figure out my wedding details. In fact, they were so great that I also did the cake, decor, and florals with them as well! I worked with Bethany and Kristen to square away all my wedding details and I could not ask for a better team! They brought great recommendations to the table, were flexible when I wanted to change anything and helped bring my vision to life. Kimberly did an amazing job on all the florals and decor for the wedding. The food was amazing and raved about by all the guests. The Epting team is the total package for professionalism, creativity, and southern hospitality and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a flawless wedding experience!

I worked with Epting at a wedding this past weekend (specifically Meredith), and they did a great job! I had a full timeline well before the event, and Meredith and her crew were very on-point and organized when we arrived. Every 'i' was dotted and every 't' crossed, and the wedding went perfectly and VERY smoothly. These guys were great!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
