Amazing people, amazing food

I truly enjoyed the entire process from start to finish working with the Southern Harvest team for my wedding. Rachelle was amazing to work with to get everything set up on the front end and respond to my various emails with questions leading up to the wedding. The staff who were on site for our wedding were simply wonderful. My mom even mentioned how kind and attentive one of the staff was to make sure she had some specific appetizers and he brought them directly to her. Aside from awesome people, the food was incredible! Everyone we talked to mentioned how much they enjoyed the food. We loved it too. Service was excellent all throughout the wedding. I've even had people 3 weeks after the wedding tell me how much they loved the food and got several specific compliments on the flank steak, the grilled crostini with brie and blueberry compote, the potato boats, and the cauliflower risotto! Many guests went back for seconds. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!!

Highly Professional and Delicious

After months of searching for the right wedding caterer, we found Southern Harvest! They were very responsive to any questions or modifications we needed to make during the planning phase. The one negative was that our vegetarian entree option was not as good the day-of as during the taste testing; but the professionalism of the staff and our LOADED plates at our sweetheart table were enough to counter that.

Wonderful Catering

My now husband and I were so happy to have found Southern Harvest. Great food, wide selection to choose from, and wonderful customer service. Natalie was my point of contact through the planning process and she was so kind and helpful. From the tasting, to the day-of meals and appetizers, Southern Harvest left us so impressed. A huge thank you to everyone at Southern Harvest that helped out with our special day, everyone we met was so amazing and sweet and I absolutely recommend.
