Best Wedding Caterer!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sweet and Savory Catering! From day one they were absolutely incredible to work with in every way. They were thorough, professional, hard working and communicative all throughout the process. The food was absolutely incredible and an amazing part of our wedding day! We have received so many compliments on the incredible food from cocktail hour, to dinner and our late night snack (the popcorn bar!). It was all amazing, down to the smallest detail.

I want to especially call out their detailed care for our guests with allergies/dietary restrictions - including myself as the bride needing things gluten free. They provided specialized information regarding the dietary restrictions of all the items throughout the day, which we communicated to our guests, and they were easily able to navigate throughout all the food items.

They were efficient and thorough with set-up/tear down, placement of linens/plates/utensils and caring for the tables throughout the night. All the staff was wonderful to work with - kind, attentive and helpful.

Leading up to the wedding we had an initial meeting (before booking) and our individual tasting session - in each meeting they took their time to work with us as much as needed, guide us in the process, and have thorough conversation to ensure all our wishes were met. It gave me such peace of mind to know all would be taken care of - and it was even better than I could have imagined! Across many, many communications for every detail over phone and email, they were prompt and helpful.

Thank you Sweet and Savory Catering!

Delicious!!!

Sweet & Savory Catering was fantastic! Working with them was a breeze - they are very organized and worked with us to design our wedding day food. The private tasting was a great experience. The food was delicious! And on the wedding day, everything not only tasted amazing, but Sweet & Savory made sure everything looked perfect as well. They even saved us some of the appetizers (and kept them warm!) for us after the ceremony.

Wonderful food for bridal shower!

What a wonderful experience! Sweet & Savory Catering did a marvelous job catering my sister's bridal shower. Mini filet mignon, crab cakes, twice baked potatoes, and corn fritters--our guests didn't stop raving!!! There wasn't a single filet left--it was a hit! The young man who dropped off the food that day was very professional and polite too. Thanks for the great experience!

Amazing Experience!

Sweet & Savory exceeded our expectations for our wedding day! The whole process was made simple thanks to Melissa and Carole. From the tasting to them allowing us to provide feedback and ideas on the food we wanted for our big day made it a pleasure to work with Sweet & Savory. They were able to provide a 4 course meal and a late night snack for our wedding. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was! Their staff was polite and prompt as well. Thank you again for helping us create an unforgettable menu for our special day.

Great team!

We really enjoyed using Sweet and Savory for our caterer on our wedding day, 8.16.2020. They were so accommodating when we had to move our date due to Covid19, as well as changing the menu around a bit to accommodate CDC guidelines during this crazy time! The staff was so professional on wedding day, wearing masks and washing hands frequently. There was one server who was always checking on us as the bride and groom to make sure we had appetizers and anything we needed. I had many guests mention to me how the food was so yummy! Would highly recommend :)

Perfect for any cuisine

Sweet and Savory was one of the first vendors we hired after our venue recommended them to us. They were very responsive to emails and open to nontraditional wedding cuisine. We met and planned the menu, and later had a tasting. Everything was amazing and they were willing to make adjustments to the menu for us. We had seafood paella, asparagus, chicken kebabs, caprese salads, bacon-wrapped chorizo-stuffed dates (everyone's favorite), vegetarian empanadas, cheeses and fruits, and mini desserts. Their wait staff was very friendly and professional and we even had a ton of leftovers to take home. The food was an absolute hit and we were very happy with everything. Sweet and Savory also provided the plates, silverware, and water goblets.

Highly Recommend

We chose Sweet and Savory Catering for our daughter and son in law's wedding. They are well organized even when you aren't and are mindful of all the little details in the area of food planning and presentation. We were happy to see the plenitful menu of food and catering options for all budget types. We received so many compliments thru out the evening on how wonderful tasting the appetizers and main dishes were. The Bourbon Pecan Crusted Baked Brie, BLT Dip and Meatballs were outstanding choices and a big hit during the cocktail hour. The main dishes of Chicken Chardonnay was so tender and full flavored as was the flavor and taste of the Honey Ham. The staff were like ninjas of the evening both in serving and finishing. I would recommend Sweet and Savory for any occasion.

Sweet & Savory catered my daughter's wedding last weekend, March 17, 2018 at The Sycamore at Mallow Run. The food was DELICIOUS! The menu was chicken and pork, green beans, corn, salad...everything they served was tasty, cooked perfectly, presented beautifully, and the staff was WONDERFUL! So very happy with everything they did to make my daughter's day amazing! Melissa was the sweetest person to work with and was very flexible. She also made the wedding cakes for the wedding and all were made from scratch! The BEST cakes I've had in years...! I HIGHLY recommend Sweet & Savory for any event you need catered. Top Notch local business and so easy to work with. Thank you, Melissa!!!
