The Ideal Wedding Caterer

Everything about my experience, from the initial booking to the day of service, was outstanding with First Name Basis. My guests still talk about how amazing the food was at our wedding. Thank you, Amanda!

Absolutely amazing!

Amanda and her team were fabulous.
I could not have asked for a better wedding caterer. Her rig is breathtaking, the food that came out of that rig would have convinced you it came out of a 5⭐️ Restaurant and her team smiled the entire time. I recommend her to any bride! She was a vendor with a stunning operation that became a best friend.

Absolutely AMAZING!!!

First Name Basis was exactly what we were looking for at our wedding!! We wanted pizza and we wanted everything to look very nice. Amanda was so awesome to work with!! She is super flexible and very responsive with any questions you have. The process of booking her for your wedding or event is very simple, and she is very accommodating with what you are looking for! We met Amanda at a brewery where she was set up one night and she treated us to her amazing pizza with our choice of toppings!! Her set up, staff, the taste of the pizza, and overall experience made us immediately choose her as our caterer for our wedding. She let us choose the toppings we wanted on each of our pizzas that would be served at our wedding, and our guests have said that is the best pizza EVER!! Our guests loved Amanda and her team, and everyone continues to talk about how awesome everything was!! The pizza trailer is so nice, and she provides a table to set all of the pizzas on for guests to grab, as well as, a written out list of the different types of pizzas so guests know what kinds of pizzas there are! Amanda was so easy to work with and was one of our FAVORITE vendors! She has the BEST pizza in Charleston!

Delicious & Fun!

Amanda and her team were the perfect fit for our wedding day! Everyone kept going back for seconds and raving about how amazing the food was. She was super accommodating as I have a friend who is vegan and she made sure she had her own pizza. The truck and food was so cute and perfect for the fun laid back vibe we wanted at our wedding!

We knew we wanted good pizza as our main food for our wedding, but we had no idea what we were getting when we found First Name Basis. Amanda is just amazing. Period. From the moment we started corresponding, she was just so helpful and fun. We met for our tasting and immediately knew this was our caterer. Her pizza is hands down my favorite in town, but everything she makes is outstanding. First Name Basis can build an amazing menu for practically any idea you've got, and it'll all be fresh and delicious. Not to mention, the mobile wood fire oven is awesome, and really unique. It definitely adds something different and memorable to your event! If you're looking for a wedding caterer, Amanda is your girl. And if you're lucky like we are, you'll get a new friend out of it too!

Ummmm... Out of this world amazing pizza!!!! Amanda is so cool and wonderful to work with. She had a kick ass set up and incredible pizza, bread and salad! She was easy to work with, accommodating many dietary preferences. She also made Brian and I feel so special, making whatever yummy pizza we wanted. She communicated well, took notes, and executed a phenomenal delivery on the food. She worked well with the other vendors and seemed to really have fun at our wedding. I think everyone needs a pizza food truck at their wedding, it/she was so much fun!!!! I recommend Amanda without any hesitation.

We hired First Name Basis for a joint graduation party. We had kabobs, grilled veggies and homemade pizza. The food was incredible. Amanda made our party a huge success. Everyone still talks about the food and the service. Thank you so much Amanda for catering our party!

First Name Basis knocked it out of the park for our event. We had 125 guests and our plates were filled with a rainbow of mouthwatering dishes. Amanda and her team were professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I am looking forward to our next event with First Name Basis in December!
