Great and easy food process!

We loved having Rosa's cater our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Dinner! The staff was so nice and so attentive. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have affordable, but amazing quality catering!

Amazing caterer for rehearsal dinner

We chose Rosa’s Catering for our rehearsal dinner on a Sunday evening in April in Gatlinburg. The food was absolutely fantastic (we ordered BBQ) and it was such a pleasant surprise seeing the owners of the company there delivering the food and helping to set up. That really underscores Rosa’s dedication to providing excellent service. We highly recommend them. Thank you so much! -Fran and Doug Floyd

Attentive, intentional, and LGBTQ+ friendly caterer

Rosa's Catering was great to work with. They were so supportive of us choosing a menu we, as the couple, really wanted and encouraged us to not be too swayed by what our guests may/may not have wanted. We changed our minds about a million times about what menu we wanted for our wedding day and they were so understanding and flexible! They also worked incredibly well with food allergies/restrictions for our guests. Their whole team was so attentive and supportive of us as the couple the entire night. They even supplied cutlery and plates for our cake, even though we purchased it through another vendor. They were organized and the food was great. We are an LGBTQ+ couple and felt really supported by this team at every turn.

Guests were raving

Rosa’s is so delicious, my guests wouldn’t stop talking about it. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of the food. We got hot artichoke dip that people talked about all night. Bacon wrapped scallops that were so delicious. Chicken and salmon and veggies for dinner. It was incredible. When you’re from out of town, you really don’t know what you’re going to get from a catering vendor, but trust me, you won’t go wrong with Rosa’s. Their options are extensive and nothing short of delicious. Your guests will love you for getting the best caterer in the Knoxville area.

Excellent Food and Service! Gluten free friendly

We used Rosas for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding, and the food was delicious. Ginger was highly responsive and very patient with all of the changes we made to the menu leading up the event. I have Celiac Disease, and was very concerned about making sure everything was truly gluten free. I was so happy with how knowledgeable their team was and felt confident going into the wedding weekend there would be no issues! The food at both events was delicious ( and 100% gluten free :)) I am grateful to their team for a truly great, and customized experience!

Professional staff and great food

The bread pudding was amazing with the whiskey glaze. The beef and macaroni & cheese was also amazing. Chicken was a little dry but over all amazing meal.

Rosa's Catering is the best for the cost in Knoxville!

Rosa's was all around wonderful! I was able to attend their free open house prior to my wedding to try the food. It really helped me choose the menu for my wedding without having to arrange a tasting. Additionally, Ginger was able to help me with changes, additions, and questions throughout the planning process. She was so amazing to work with! On wedding day, the servers were attentive, with swift and excellent service. I barely knew they were there. We choose the spinach strawberry salad, mushroom ravioli, chicken fresco, red mashed pots, and mixed grilled veggies. My guests raved about how tasty everything was! You won't go wrong with hiring Rosa's for your big day!

Professional and Easy

Rosa’s is the epitome of professionalism. Ginger and her crew are a dream to work with - for our wedding, they brought us in and let us try literally everything, and we honestly had a really difficult time narrowing down what we wanted that night! They were great about updating our estimates as our headcounts fluctuated, they helped us set aside special plates for our guests with dietary restrictions, and they were always happy to talk through anything during the planning process and immediately follow up with emails as well. We were really excited for our guests to try the citrus chicken and the mushroom ravioli we picked, and as we made our way around each table EVERYONE was telling us how good the food was. We were also ecstatic that we got some big to-go boxes, because of course, we didn’t eat a lot day-of, so we were able to enjoy the meal all over again with our friends the following night.

Choosing - and then communicating with - vendors for a wedding can be intimidating and difficult. But working with Rosa’s, we knew we’d be taken care of, that they’d be reliable, and that the results would be fantastic. As an events coordinator, I’ve worked with Rosa’s before and always chose them for those exact reasons, and after our wedding I’d continue to choose them again and again for any catering I’d ever need. Highly recommend.

I have worked with Rosa's Catering on several events and I have always been pleased with their service. However, this past weekend, they out did themselves! The cake that they created for my clients was by far the best and most creative cake I have seen! GREAT JOB ROSA'S!!!
