Best Wedding Food Ever!

Our wedding was in 2018, and our guests are still talking about the food that was served by the JThomas team. A lot of our guests were from the New York area, so we wanted to serve some fun Southern food, and the topic of our wedding food still comes up at holidays. The passed bites were delicious, the buffet was wonderful, and my husband and I couldn't wait to dig in to our "to-go" boxes later that night. Thanks so much to Courtney and Josh for such a memorable meal!

A wedding ceremony can be perfect but if the food is just so-so, that is what will be remembered. So glad we chose JThomas Catering in Savannah, GA. The passed appetizers at the cocktail hour had all of our guest so excited to see what was for dinner. We had some guests that are food snobs and they were so complimentary of the food.
We decided to do stations instead of a plated dinner and we could not have been more pleased. Each plate at the stations was prepared as guests approached the station and the creativity used to plate the food was amazing and quick. Each plate was a work of art. My daughter has always loved funfetti cakes and so it was only fitting that her wedding cake be a funfetti wedding cake. Courtney and team made her dreams come true---a fabulous cake to see and eat!!! Everyone from JThomas was polite and professional and the evening was made even more perfect by the food that was prepared and served by these amazing people. Thank you JThomas Catering and Courtney for helping an anxious mother of the bride (long distance) have a wonderful experience!

I got married in September and Ships of the Sea Maritime museum so this review is super late but I just wanted to say JThomas and his crew were AMAZING. My guests are still talking about the food at my wedding and how delicious it was. Everything was perfect. The only regret I have is I wish I would have eaten more but that was at no fault of theirs. We were partying hard. Thank again JThomas for everything!-Shante and Chris

JThomas is the reason you get married in Savannah. No exaggerations, the food was outstanding and I can't praise their service enough.

We ultimately decided to upgrade from a buffet to the stations, and I'm so happy we did! Everything was wonderful. The plating was beautiful, and we had guests telling us they went up for thirds! The salmon and beef were a hit, and I highly recommend oysters for cocktail hour.
We even threw them a curve ball and asked them to make buffalo chicken bites with our favorite hot sauce from Brooklyn.

Honestly, if you're getting married in Savannah and need a caterer - book JThomas. You won't regret it.

We chose JThomas to cater our wedding based on many reviews we read and we were not disappointed! They offered a wide variety of dish options. We were looking for something a little more casual for our reception and we felt that they had the best offering around from the research that we did.

They were extremely friendly and easy to work with! They were very accommodating and worked with us to make sure that we got exactly what we wanted. They were also very reasonably priced, especially for the quality of food that we received! We got so many compliments on the food! We had chicken and waffles and shrimp and grits as our two entree offerings and everyone LOVED both! We liked them so much we had no problems eating them again the next day as we ordered more than what we ended up needing!

Overall great experience! We would highly recommend JThomas for your catering needs!

We selected JThomas Catering for our daughter's wedding in June, 2017. My husband and I live in Pennsylvania and our daughter lives in Savannah so much of the communication was via email. Courtney was very organized and quickly answered any questions throughout the whole planning process. There were ample items to taste in the tasting and it was difficult to select the food items since so many items were delicious! John Thomas and his competent cooks provided superb food selection at a reasonable price. We received many favorable comments from our guests. The Chicken IN waffles hors d'oeuves were excellant and many went back up to the buffet several times for the Terres Major beef which was cooked to pefection. The few children guests enjoyed the smoked gouda mac-n-cheese. In addition, the wait staff which assisted with passed hors d'oeuvres were very friendly and efficient. We would highly recommend using JThomas Catering at your wedding or other event. It is money well spent.
