Chef Tony created a wonderfully beautiful cake that was absolutely delicious. All of our guest commented on the taste and moistness of the wedding cake. I would use him again in a heart beat.

The food was absolutely delicious! The meatballs and broccoli casserole were especially popular with our guests. Chef Tony also made our wedding cake and cupcakes, all of which were amazing and exactly what we wanted! Chef Tony and his staff are very professional and easy to work with. I would recommend him for any event!

Chef Tony's food is incredible! We got so many compliments on how good the food was at my wedding. It was almost all gone by the end of the night, and we thought we had ordered too much food! Chef Tony is a character and a great caterer to work with!!

Chef Tony and his crew were so wonderful to work with. They listened to what I wanted and gave me peace of mind over our reception food. They also did our wedding cake, which I loved!! Professional, DELICIOUS food options, and well worth the value. I'm so thankful I chose them!

Great, professional and well-priced catering experience

Working with Chef Tony was a great experience. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Tony was very receptive to adjustments to menu items including vegan dish options. He was always very kind and extremely organized when it came to planning, phone calls and keeping track of anything we'd need for the day of. There are several packages available which are reasonably priced. We selected the Turquoise Dinner package and there was plenty of food for everyone with ample leftovers! The wait staff was extremely professional on the day of the wedding. I definitely recommend splurging on the little bit extra money for their staff to clean up all the dishes at the end of the evening. Everything was great and I would definitely recommend Chef Tony to any future brides.

Chef Tony was a great choice for us. We decided on a date with fairly short notice and he was able to accommodate our needs. Chef Tony was open to any questions and requests we had for the meal. After selecting him and our food choices, we were able to concentrate on other things. They arrived for set up at time stated and all the quests were very happy with the food and service both. We picked Chef tony from his web site and couldn't have asked for it to have gone smoother. We would be happy to recommend him for an event, and judging from the comments guests made about the food and service, he will be getting future requests for his services from them.

OMG!!! Are you kidding me. We interviewed seveal catering companies from Gatlinburg to Knoxville and while Chef Tony's was the cheapest, but it was by far the best Deal. The food was awesome and the service was amazing!!. These people are very professional and it was obvious this was not their first catering job. Creative, clean, easy going, flexible, punctual, professional, I don't know what else to say. I don't plan on getting married again but if I did Chef Tony would be the cater. Thanks guys for a wonderful wedding.

We absolutely love Chef Tony and his whole crew. Their food is amazing and they staff is extremely sweet and professional. We went to several different bridal shows to taste different foods and there wasn’t anything we didn’t love. Tony was so helpful in knowing what foods would be a good match together and how things needed to flow. Even helped us figure out what would be best for our budget. We would book First Fruits again in a heart beat.
