Derek and his team were an absolute JOY to work with. The food was top notch and so delicious. Derek went above and beyond for me to accommodate when I had to reschedule my wedding due to the weather. He was always very responsive and professional. I cannot say enough nice words about Savory.
The guests loved the food and the service from the staff was great! We had chicken and waffles bites (highly recommend) and spinach cups for appetizers. For dinner, we had stuffed chicken or salmon
both with mashed potatoes and green beans. You cannot go wrong with either.
I will definitely use them in the future and one of my friends have already used them this past Christmas.
Definitely use Savory for your next event and you will not be disappointed.

Everything from our first emails to the post-reception clean-up was wonderful. Derek, the owner, apparently has psychic powers and after asking us some general questions about our taste in food suggested a tasting menu that was exactly right. You've got to appreciate someone who knows you need the good cabbage if you're doing jerk chicken!

We had the jerk chicken, mojo pulled pork, braised cabbabe, rice and peas, and plantains. All of them were amazing! The jerk chicken tasted very much like the recipe I have from a friend's Jamaican grandmother, for example, and the guests raved about the cabbage (as did my wife and I). They brought a LOT of food and even though our head count was right on target, we had a bunch of leftovers. The guests were raving about the food! As a heads up, when something is supposed to be spicy, it's spicy! Definitely do a tasting so you can dial in on exactly what's right for you.

All of the day-of staff were friendly and excited to be there. The set up and tear down went very smoothly and there was nothing for us to do in terms of cleaning up the venue's kitchen at the end of the night. The cut our cakes perfectly, on top of it all. The bartender they used (beer and wine only due to restrictions from the venue) was also a hit.

The entire experience was about as perfect as you could ask for, even the one mistake! There was a mistake on the first quote sent to me (some information got swapped between us and another client, quite reasonable), but it was sorted out immediately and with no fuss. Anyone can make a mistake, but the best folks to work with know how to fix them properly!

You owe it to yourself to give this folks a try. 10/10 all around. (Also, I would be willing to do some minor crimes to get that cabbage recipe...)

I can't say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Derek. He's not only incredibly knowledgeable about food, preparation, and transporting large quantities, but also truly personable. Working with vendors during the wedding process can be challenging, but Derek made it a breeze. He’s down-to-earth and fully committed to creating the best possible event. As for the food—so many guests raved about how delicious everything was. Derek helped us craft a personalized menu and absolutely nailed it. Thanks, Derek! If you need a caterer, I highly recommend Savory by DDT!

I wanted to personally thank you for caterer my daughter Luciana’s wedding. I cannot express the overwhelming response of how delicious the food was. I needed to pass along the comments to you from the guests that all asked who the caterer was and how they have never had such delicious food at a wedding. And I have to say I echo that comment!! The food was top notch. If I could’ve ordered everything off your menu I would have. Those beef short ribs and that chicken as well as the vegetables, mashed potatoes and salad beyond delicious!!

Thank you again for contributing to my daughter and my son-in-law’s fantastic day!!

My name is Anna Britt, and I own Asheville Weddings and Events. I had such a great time working with Derek and Tammy! Derek is a really fantastic chef. I worked with Tammy and her staff on the wedding day, and they were so helpful and fun! They were truly happy to be there and to serve the couple. As a wedding planner, I tend to have many logistical questions to ensure and double-check everything on behalf of my couples. Tammy never got frustrated or annoyed with all of my emails and questions. She actually was very thankful for them and that really meant a lot! I hope to work with them again in the future.

So glad we found Savory for our wedding. The food was delicious and the experience surpassed all expectations. Simply Amazing!! All my guests were happy and they even made separate meals for my vegan guest. Highly recommended.

We recently celebrated our wedding with 85 guests, and the catering provided by Savory by DDT was nothing short of extraordinary!

From the initial consultation to the final bite, Derek demonstrated a level of professionalism and attention to detail that exceeded our expectations. The menu selection process was seamless, allowing us to customize the offerings to suit our preferences and accommodate some dietary restrictions among guests. The presentation was top-notch and each dish was a testament to the use of high-quality, fresh ingredients.

The service staff was attentive, and friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt taken care of.

Derek and his team not only provided exceptional food and service but also contributed to the overall ambiance of our wedding. All night our guests were coming up to us saying it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding!

The crab cakes were our absolute favorite and were the first thing gone from the buffet!

If you're searching for a wedding caterer who not only understands the importance of culinary excellence but also goes the extra mile to create a memorable dining experience, Savory by DDT is undoubtedly the perfect choice. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them, and we wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone looking for a top-notch catering experience.

Chef Derek and his team did an amazing job! They kept our family entertained while we took photos after the wedding. The whole time we received texts about the food they had sampled tasted amazing.. which made us wanna rush back haha. They made our table look amazing and the food was great! I highly recommend Derek and his team.

The service within this company was more than exceptional. From the start of the communication, to the planning, to the taste testing. The food was everything & more, and definitely had my guests talking about this company for weeks. I would highly recommend using Savory by all means necessary. They brought my vision to life, and everyone left fulfilled! Thank you guys again!

Savory by DDT did a phenomenal job catering my father’s suprise birthday party. The food was great and the service was second to none. If you are in need for catering services, look no further than to Savory by DDT!
