About

After many years of cooking for family and friends, I am taking my love of cooking and my passion for food to a whole new level. It would be my pleasure to share that love with you catering one of your special events. Whether you are planning a wedding reception, rehearsal dinner, cocktail party, luncheon or brunch, my staff of professionals and I will guide you in creating an amazing experience you won’t soon forget.

Growing up on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina, I have had the opportunity to experience fine cooking from many different venues along the southeastern shoreline. The seafood industry, especially, is very dear to me since my family has been in the business for the past decade. I hope to carry on that legacy with Seaside Sensations Catering Service. We at Seaside Sensations promise to work hard to make sure that every detail is just right, that the food we serve is fresh, made-from-scratch, and prepared according to the highest standards of excellence held by the premier catering and seafood companies in the Coastal Carolinas.

Seaside Sensations is dedicated not only to creating and catering superb food, but also to catering to the client. Maybe you have your Grandmother’s recipe for a special dish, or a theme to your event that extends to the menu. Perhaps there is a special item that you would like to incorporate into your menu, or you would like a menu customized to fit your budget. Whatever the wish, my staff and I would be happy to work with you on custom details and dishes to make it a reality. We will work with our clients to build a menu that exemplifies what we do best—preparing and serving delicious foo

Couldnt be more gourmet and better service!

We had Seaside Sensations cater our rehearsal dinner and wedding and they were nothing short of amazing! I have no idea how they cooked the quantity of food that they did while keeping the quality so high! And the presentation of their food is an art piece of its own! All of our guests were raving about how good all of the food was! Sara and her team never stopped working until the night was over - they even helped with cutting and serving the cake, which was provided by a different vendor! And they made sure we got our cake topper and it went straight in a box for myself and my husband to take home! We just can't thank this team enough. Worth every penny and more! Thank you guys!

Delicious and Amazing Service

Sarah of Seaside Sensations Catering Service was fabulous!! Not only was everything I tried from her menu perfection, she worked so hard to make our experience with her a great one. She was very responsive, worked hard to accommodate our budget, and provided excellent service the day of our wedding. So many of our guests have made it a point to tell us how delicious their dinner was and how polite and attentive the servers and bartenders were. I am so happy we chose to use Seaside Sensations for our wedding. I would recommend her to any and everyone!

Sara and her team were amazing to work with. They catered our wedding reception for 250 people in May 2018 and the food was outstanding. Our guests are still talking about how wonderful the food was. Sara made the planning process easy. I can't recommend Seaside Sensations highly enough!

I was an out-of-state bride, and relied on my mom to make a majority of my wedding day plans. She visited the Crystal Coast bridal fair in January of this year, and instantly fell in love with Sara and Seaside Sensations. She could not stop talking about her shrimp and grits and crab dip. Sara was so sweet and such a wonderful person with which to work. We decided to go with her for our rehearsal as well as reception catering, and were not disappointed. All of the food was so delicious! We had traditional pulled pork for the rehearsal (get the mac and cheese and cornbread!) and for the reception had a variety of different stations including her shrimp and grits, which come in martini glasses. Not only is her food wonderful, but her staff is so professional and as sweet as she is. Highly recommend them for all of your catering and event needs. She, as part of “Just Bring the Dress”, also assisted in our tux rentals. She does it all!

Sarah and her staff did an outstanding job of catering my daughter's wedding in Beaufort. First of all, the food was fabulous! The presentation was beautiful! I highly recommend the Shrimp and Grits, and the crabcakes made to order were wonderful. Our guests were very complimentary of everything! Sarah is so easy to work with, organized, and professional. We could not have been happier.

Sara and her team are nothing short of EXCELLENT! Seaside Sensations Catering came highly recommended by the Chamber of Commerce as well as a few local friends who had experienced this catering in the past. Sara and her team did NOT disappoint. I would recommend Seaside Sensations Catering without reservation. The servers were friendly and professional! Sara always responded quickly to my requests (and there were many!); she was forthright, professional and very accommodating. No wonder she (& her company) come so highly recommended. Oh! And!! The food was exceptional!!!

Seaside Sensation Catering is professional and took the time to discuss all the details with quick responses. I was impressed by the fresh, local seafood options. Sara took the time to customize the menu for my small wedding and thought of all the things I forgot. I recommend the crab cakes cooked right in front of you. Sara is also a great resource and helped me with more than just catering!

Sarah's food was perfectly suited for our soundside wedding. From the shrimp and grits to the ham biscuits to the chicken salad you could not ask for a better quality food or a better presentation. Sarah was very helpful with suggestions and was most attentive to detail. Our experience with Sarah Willis and Seaside Sensations could not have been better; I think anyone would be hard pressed to find a nicer person with whom to work.
