Incredible Food & Experience!

Jacqueline at Salthouse Catering is incredible!! She knows her stuff, she communicates extremely well, and I can’t thank her enough.

From curating the menu, hosting us for a tasting, to day-of, all our guests were wildly impressed with the quality of food. I got several comments that it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. So happy we went with Salthouse!!

Salthouse is THE BEST!

We absolutely loved working with Salthouse Catering. From the very beginning, Jacqueline was amazing — so easy to work with and made the entire planning process feel simple and stress-free. On the wedding day everything ran perfectly. The food was incredible — our guests are still talking about it weeks later. Jacqueline even made sure to bring my husband and I a plate of the passed cocktails hour appetizers, which was such a thoughtful touch and something she didn’t have to do. The presentation, the service, and the overall experience were all outstanding. We are so happy we chose Salthouse and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Third time with Salthouse

We were first introduced to Salthouse when our DIL hired them to cater her wedding to our son. We enjoyed the tasting so much that we hired them to cater the rehearsal party. When our daughter got engaged, Salthouse was the first vendor we hired. The wedding was beautiful, and the food was outstanding. We received dozens of compliments on the food and the great service. Jacqueline and her team were great to work with- super friendly and professional. We wholeheartedly recommend Salthouse Catering!

Amazing food and service by Salthouse Catering!

We could not say enough amazing things about Salthouse Catering and Mark Sahara. They catered our wedding on November 22, 2025 at the Island House, and from the very beginning, Mark was nothing but communicative, thorough, and incredibly supportive. He was always prompt, walked us through every option imaginable, and truly made us feel confident in our choices once we finalized our menu.

The food was absolutely out of this world. We received so many compliments from our guests, and it was one of the most talked-about parts of our day. Mark and his team executed everything flawlessly, and we genuinely couldn’t have done it without them.
Mark truly held our hands throughout the entire process and always made sure we were happy with our selections. He never once got frustrated with our countless questions and always made us feel like our wedding was just as important to him as it was to us.

If you’re looking for an exceptional caterer who delivers incredible food and an even better experience, look no further than Salthouse Catering. We are beyond grateful to Mark and his team. Thank you!

5 Stars for Salthouse

Salthouse catered our wedding on 11/22/25 at the Admiral’s House in North Charleston, SC. They provided both the food and bar for the cocktail hour and reception. Our expectations were not just met, they were exceeded! Our guests absolutely raved about the food. For station entrees at the reception, we served Beef Tenderloin, Shrimp and Grits, Butternut Squash Ravioli, and Coq Au Vin. The Ravioli and Beef were fan favorites, although all selections were fantastic. For passed hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour, we served the Short Rib Spoon, Scallop Lollipop, Duck Confit, and Pickled Peach Bruschetta. We also served Chicken Biscuit Sandwiches as a late night snack, as well as a variety of Petite Desserts and Espresso Martinis for dessert. The bar had a wonderful selection of drinks including two custom signature drinks, named after our cats. Everything about our food and bar service were absolutely wonderful. We were told from several guests that we had the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Jacqueline and Vivian were wonderful to work with. We cannot recommend Salthouse Catering enough!

Five Stars All the Way!

We used Salthouse Catering for our wedding, and I can’t say enough good things about them. They were incredible. The food was out of this world — we’re still getting nonstop compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. And the team… just amazing and so helpful. Every single person was so friendly, calm, and completely on top of things. They took so much stress off our shoulders and made the whole day feel smooth and effortless. We’re so, so grateful for the part they played in our day. Salthouse Catering truly helped make our wedding feel special.

Total package

Salthouse Catering is INCREDIBLE. From the very first emails and phone calls, they were prompt, friendly and thorough to what our thoughts and needs were for our wedding. My husband had a previous relationship with the company, having worked with them during his undergraduate studies. He also worked for other catering companies in the past and always told me how much Salthouse is in a league of its own. On the day of, their team was incredibly kind and precise, ensuring every aspect of the food was seamless. The food they provided was seriously delicious. We had some regionally relevant dishes, like shrimp and grits, but the crowd favorite was their butternut squash ravioli. If you are planning a wedding in the Charleston area, or just need good food and amazing service you have got to at least consider Salthouse. Tanya, Jacqueline and Vince are incredible.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
