We had Holly Tate cater our daughter’s wedding January 2024.
From beginning to end they were exceptional. I had no idea where to begin and John was so nice and helpful, he made recommendations based off the different things we were looking to do. This made for such a smooth process. Heather worked with us on the different menu items we were looking at and she was so sweet and patient with us. The options are endless! When we met for our tasting, we met with Heather and Chef Ben. The setting was so comfortable, and we really enjoyed getting to know both Heather and Chef Ben, they are such wonderful people who love what they do, and it shows. They had prepared everything as it would be at the wedding and served accordingly. They were so attentive to the comments that were made during the tasting making notes such as when the groom did not care for the tomatoes and passed to the bride Heather made the note no tomatoes for the groom extra for the bride, they did not miss a beat as we ate and made comments. The food was phenomenal!!!! We discussed with them that we had guests with food allergies and Chef Ben and Heather again taking all the notes made sure they knew who those guests were and that there could be no cross contamination of the food. Day of the wedding Heather, Chef Ben and the staff were amazing so attentive made sure to advise our guests with food allergies there would be no cross contamination everything would be provided by the staff only. Chef Ben made sure to provide what was needed for those individuals. Everyone raved about the food and how attentive the staff were. We had one guest in particular who works with catering companies and quoted “this is top level catering they are the example of what a catering company should be. They are one of the best that she has experienced!!” We are still getting comments on how amazing the food was and how wonderful the staff was. They went over and beyond outside their scope of work when they were able to pick up the wedding cake for us that we could not get. Heather is the BEST!!! That was so extremely over the top!!!! We cannot thank them enough. Every bit of that cake got eaten.
Thank you so much for everything you all did to help make that day spectacular!!!!

We recently worked with Holly Tate for the first time at our venue in Winston-Salem, NC. Their team was one of the most professional we’ve worked with. Though the event was a rainy one, they adapted and had a game plan to work well together and with our staff to deliver an event that satisfied the clients needs and exceeded expectations across the board. We look forward to working with Holly Tate again!

As I come down off the high from my daughter’s stunning wedding on November 4th at Adaumont Farm, I could not recommend Holly Tate Fine Catering any more enthusiastically. The food they served and the staff working the event made the entire day fabulous. Our guests could not stop commenting the delicious food, attentive staff, excellent bar service, and the preparation of the signature cocktail. All thanks to Holly Tate.

The initial phone call with John made me feel at ease and heard. He listened patiently to the many ideas of a first time MOB, gave thoughtful suggestions, and took time to share scenarios that had not occurred to me. He clearly cared about our guests and the best way to serve the dinner I was proposing.

The next call included Holly and the bride to be. We discussed more details of the meal, appetizers, desserts, drinks, bar service, and how the evening would flow. What I remember most about that call was how happy my daughter and I were after we hung up. We both felt reassured and thrilled with the decision we made to hire them!

The tastings were thoughtfully planned so my husband, the future bride and groom, and I were able to discuss dinner options, pairings, appetizers, courses, and taste each bite of food… Heather, the manager and Chef Ben were with us to answer questions and help guide us with our choices. And they guided us so well! Heather went above and beyond to accommodate requests throughout the process and at the reception. She is a gem and Ben is a talented chef.

The special attention given to my husband and me during the reception was unexpected and so appreciated. While we visited with our 170+ guests, the staff would bring us appetizers and be sure our glasses were replenished. It was a delightful touch.

The wedding day went off without a hitch and the cuisine was absolutely delicious! The appetizers, salad, pasta options, breads, and desserts could not have been more flavorful. I highly recommend Holly Tate’s staff. They truly are a team and work seamlessly together. They turned a fabulous meal into an evening of perfection. The staff was attentive, clearly cared about the details of the day, heard my personal requests, and made each guest feel special. We will never be able to thank them enough for all they did.
