Delicious & All Inclusive

Table for 2 Catering truly embodied the vision I wanted for my Wedding Day. From Linens, table settings, and of course the food & cake they were absolutely wonderful. Jordan and I went back and forth on ideas all year while planning, and they sent great examples to help me visualize before the big day! Jordan is wonderful to work with, and the food satisfied everyone in my reception (even picky Grandma). Their cake-cutting services were much appreciated, and bartending was on point to keep everyone on the dance floor! Super grateful to have them as part of my perfect Wedding Day, I highly recommend them to every Nashville Bride!

T42C - A 5 Star Performance down on the farm!

Shivonne and her staff can handle anything you throw at them. T42C prepared and presented the most amazing food for our daughter's wedding reception which was held at our family farm in a dressed up barn without electricity or running water. Even rain did not slow them down. The food was creative, delicious, and hot! I would definitely use them again.

A bride's worst nightmare

A bride's worst nightmare come true. If you don't want to read the whole story, here is a sum of my wedding night: our cake was damaged the night before, the charcuterie board didn't have bread or crackers, the food tasted terrible and 40 of our guests didn't get ANY MEAT during dinner.
I booked this company 9 months before my wedding. My husband and I did a tasting with the chef, Shivonne. We set up a menu with 2 meats, 4 sides, and a specialized cake. We tried it all and we were blown away. It tasted like food from a 5 star restaurant. We were so excited to book with them. This company isn't cheap by any means, but we were willing to pay a higher price for a good meal at our wedding, especially since the majority of our guest were traveling far and going out of their way to come.
We decided to have charcuterie during our cocktail hour, and a buffet style dinner. My mom and I wanted our guests to be able to try both meat options during dinner. I was in communication with Jordan, one of their managers, during the planning period. I told her our desire and she came up with a great solution. Our guest count was 120 people, so she suggested we order 80 full size portions of both meat options (160 total portions of meat). Then they would cut them into smaller pieces so there would be a little over 120 pieces of each meat. That way everyone could try both chicken and beef, and there would be enough left over. I thought that was a great idea!
Flash forward to the wedding day. Shivonne and her team arrived, and told my mom that our cake was damaged the night before. She said that she had a fire in her kitchen over night, and our cake was sitting on her kitchen counter and got damaged. (Why was a finished, frosted cake sitting on a kitchen counter over night.....?). She said she wasn't able to make a second specialized cake, so instead she made a white cake that morning. She said she would give us a full refund for the cake. I was obviously disappointed (the cake was my husbands favorite part of the tasting), but I brushed it off.
I wish that was the only thing that went wrong on my wedding day, but it wasn't nearly as bad as dinner. The portions of meat were SO small. I would guess they were only 1oz, much smaller than I thought they should be. The "Chicken French" wasn't chicken French.. it was dry and had no sauce. The Mac and cheese had no flavor and wasn't creamy. The "chili lime Brussel sprouts" had no sauce and were just steamed Brussels. It honestly tasted like high school cafeteria food.
The worst part... Shivonne only brought 80 portions of the already small pieces of meat, instead of 80 full size portions, like we had planned. The last 4 tables that were called up to the buffet didn't get any meat, and there were a couple sides that were already gone too. Some people only had Mac and cheese and a piece of bread for dinner.... just unbelievable.
During our cocktail hour before dinner, they never brought out bread or crackers! There were soft cheeses with nothing to put it on. And the hard blocks of cheese were not cut. This company is known for their charcuterie and they totally dropped the ball.
We also paid for coffee and iced tea, and they didn't bring that either.
The buffet didn't have professional warmers underneath the food, so the food was cold by the time the last few tables came up.
Shivonne also left during the dinner because she booked another event that night.
Overall, it was amateur and unprofessional.
We spoke to Shivonne on the phone the next week. She wasn't apologetic, but instead gave us excuses about how she's been dealing with a lot of things in her personal life.
She agreed to refund us for the cake, the bread and crackers, the missing portions of meat, the coffee and the iced tea. But no more.
The refund was a joke. We paid $7,000 for all of this, and they gave us back $1,400.
Do yourself a favor, book someone else.

"Faith, service to community and mission are a huge part of my life. My 3 children are my greatest blessings! The team that has come together around Table For 2 is truly family. We are all moms and wives first. We value family!

I love cooking and the creative process. Food has this way of bringing people together which makes even the hardest days worth it. It's a welcome compliment when people come to a tasting and tell me that the food is even better than they expected! What makes me even more proud is that we have a reputation of quality service and making our clients feel special. I never want to lose that. No matter how busy we get or how blessed we are to grow, I want each one of our clients to walk away knowing that in the moment we served them, they were our priority & felt the love we put into both the food and presentation!"
