Wedding Reception Foodies

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Kathy G's. From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with—kind, responsive, organized, and so genuinely invested in making our day special. They made everything feel effortless, and that level of care meant so much to us during such a busy and meaningful time.
And the food—oh my goodness—the food was incredible. Every single detail was thoughtfully done and beautifully presented. The shrimp and crab claws were such a hit, and the Tuscan table was just stunning. It was overflowing with the most delicious assortment of fresh vegetables, cheeses, crackers, olives, and perfectly seasoned chicken skewers—people are still talking about it!
The carving station was phenomenal and added such a special touch, and the mashed potato bites and appetizers were so creative and absolutely delightful. Everything was full of flavor, perfectly prepared, and served with such attention to detail.
We have had so many guests reach out afterward asking who our caterer was, which says everything. I’ve happily raved about them to everyone because they truly exceeded every expectation we had. Not only was the food amazing, but the team behind it was just as exceptional.
If you’re considering them for your event, do it—you will not be disappointed. They played such a meaningful part in making our wedding day unforgettable, and we are so incredibly grateful.

I worked with Kathy G's on a wedding reception and it was absolutely amazing! The food was top notch, but the service is what really took it over the top.

Corporate Event

Our company has used Kathy G to cater our largest corporate event for over 16 years.
Natalie and her team are dependable and are excellent to work with. Every detail is taken care of, the tablescapes are always beautiful and fresh, and the star of the show, the food, is unique and delicious! The menu has so many choices; if they don’t have it, you can ask if they will provide it. The presentation is always so pretty and impressive.
The team is efficient, professional, and easy to work with. Kathy G makes our event stress-free, and I never have to worry about any detail. They see to everything!

Absolutely Phenomenal

Natalie at Kathy G was incredible in helping us with the catering for our daughter's wedding on 6/22/24. The food was cooked to perfection, and the service was extremely professional and on point. We were so well taken care of! There is absolutely no point in going with any other caterer in Birmingham. From my extensive research on catering companies and my experience with this team, nobody comes close!

Highly recommend!!

Thank you seems not nearly enough for making my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner so fabulous. Everything was wonderful. The food was delicious. The staff were professional and courteous. The room was beautiful even before we decorated. The BBG security guard was kind, patient, and made us feel safe. I have zero complaints. You all put up with my countless phone calls and emails with professionalism and encouragement that all would be taken care of and it would be a wonderful night - which it was!
I will always highly recommend Kathy G & Co. and The Gardens Cafe at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens to everyone I know.
Thank you again and please let all the staff members know how grateful I am.

Best food, easy to work with

Just save yourself time and use Kathy G”s. They came highly recommended and after my first phone consult I knew my friends were right! Everyone at my daughters wedding raved about the food (shrimp & grits TO DIE FOR). The quality and quantity of food exceeded every expectation we had and was well below what we expected to spend. Honestly, just use them. You will be most pleased! Bartenders were great too!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
