We recently used Hamby for our catering and bar services at our April 2025 wedding and could not have been more happy! Kara was very responsive and helpful from the initial moment I reached out and was always open to providing feedback about best options to fit our needs and budget. We made many changes to our menu throughout the planning process and she was always understanding and patient. When we did our tasting, they were open to any suggestions or wishes we had and I was impressed with how accommodating and thoughtful they were. On the day, everything was absolutely amazing- our guests raved about the food and the staff was so kind and accommodating. We are so thankful that we went with them and wish we could relive the day! Big thanks to Kara and the Hamby team!!

Wedding Catering
Hamby did a phenomenal job with catering and the bar service for our wedding on 6/17/23! We had passed Hors d’oeuvres, a station style dinner, mini assorted sweets, and a late-night snack. The food was superb—every single thing we had was so delicious! Although we were unable to complete a tasting before our event, we felt comfortable with Hamby due to their past reviews--and you should too, knowing that they will deliver on all services. We had several guests state how it was some of the best food they'd ever had! Hamby took extra care in providing an assortment of food along with champagne to enjoy the day after our event. We are so thankful for everything Hamby did to help make our day perfect!

Best wedding food!
If you want your wedding guests to rave that your food selection was the best wedding food they’ve ever had, then look no further than Hamby Catering! Not only were they incredibly responsive from start to finish, but as I already stated, BEST FOOD EVER!!! You can not go wrong with their southern bbq buffet, absolute crowd-pleaser!
I also want to specifically shout out Caroline, who we worked with directly to curate our event menu. We had a lot of guests that had varying dietary restrictions and food allergies and despite all of that, worked with us at length to make sure our selection of food could be safely enjoyed by all of our guests. And it was!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
Hamby does a wonderful job! Their food always looks beautiful! Tastes fantastic! They do lots of varieties of food, and it is all great! Their staff is professional and friendly!
