About

Three Little Birds offers a variety of services to help make your event exactly what you want. We take pride in meeting with our couple to come up with menus that not only meet your taste, but also your budget. We can handle your food, service, rental needs, and set-up. Upon your initial meeting, we will discuss menus and budget, rental needs, décor, bar, music, flowers, etc. We are here to help and have many great suggestions for your big day as far as rental and décor to suggestions for your other vendors. We can be involved as little or as much as you would like or feel is necessary. We are also happy to say that we compost and recycle both at our café and at our events. We also use local produce as much as we possibly can. We are very aware that people have certain dietary needs and are more than willing to accommodate those needs for you and your guests.

Wonderful catering + coordination!

Three Little Birds went above and beyond to make our wedding incredible! We used then for catering and day of coordination, but it feels like they did so much more. Our wedding was supposed to be mostly outdoors, but the weather was terrible. Merideth came up with the best plan possible and executed everything beautifully. The appetizers, dinner, and desserts were phenomenal, the staff was helpful and friendly, and all of my vendors worked so well together.

WOW!!!! I cannot begin to express how amazing Meridith and Erin from Three Little Birds are! I used them for my wedding planners, caterers, florists, and cake. Everything was amazing! I felt so comfortable with both of them throughout the entire process. As wedding planners, these ladies are top notch. They were super easy to communicate with and responded to emails quickly. They kept me on schedule and handled so many things for me that other planners would not. On the day of my wedding, they handled everything! Everyone (my mother and mother-in-law included) were so impressed with them! During the rehearsal, I briefly told them what I had and what I was wanting and then let them run with it day of the wedding. All of the decor, centerpieces, and personal touches were incredible. They had drinks and food waiting for me and my husband after the ceremony (they even asked what drinks we would prefer), packed up food and snacks for us after the wedding, and helped pack everything up when the wedding was over. I can't imagine what my wedding day would have been like without them. For the taste testing of foods during our initial meeting, both my mother and mother-in-law were so impressed with them. They truly listen to what you and your fiance envision for your wedding. They asked questions, took notes, and totally executed on everything we wanted. My wedding was absolutely perfect and it was due to both of these ladies. My bridal bouquet was stunning! It was so much better than I imagined! The food was absolutely awesome! I will say this Three Little Birds is my favorite restaurant in Charleston! I'm not from Charleston, but I always compare what I eat back to Three Little Birds. I would definitely recommend their services!

Three Little Birds outdid themselves with our food!! It was absolutely amazing and I would HIGHLY recommend to any bride. Meridith was an absolute pleasure to work with and her staff were responsive, friendly, and professional. They have such a wide menu selection to choose from and everything was just SO GOOD! We had true southern food and our guests didn't stop talking about the food all night long. The shrimp and grits are outstanding, pulled pork on sweet potato biscuits were delicious, and the fried green tomatoes were fabulous!! Meridith was so accomodating leading up to the wedding and was more than flexible with some last minute changes. She also made our cupcakes and groomscake which were both delicious!! You can't go wrong with Three Little Birds!! :)

They were SO wonderful!! The food was great and the price was very modest!! Not to mention how sweet the owners and servers were at our wedding and rehearsal! They also did my wedding cake, it was SO delicious and saved me a ton of running around for cake!! I couldn't have imagined a better experience with a caterer... I ran out of checks when they needed the second payment and they worked with me to allow me to order more checks and come bring it in as soon as I got them- without that I would have been SO worried! They were phenomenal- I suggest you look over the menus they offer, then set up a tasting meeting where you will lay out the menu, you WON'T be disappointed!! Service is great, food is awesome and price is reasonable!

Abigail, Meredith and the rest of the staff at Three Little Birds made my wedding day the absolute best it could be. Abigail was a brides best friend, helping with anything and everything I through her way. They took our wedding on at the last minute and did an AMAZING job. The food was awesome. We had guests coming up to us after dinner saying "That was the BEST wedding food we have ever had!" It was very comforting to know that everyone enjoyed their service. Meredith ran our reception with such ease and grace. It was perfect and they took so many stresses off of me as a bride. I would recommend them to anyone for anything and I would totally use them for another event in the future!

Abigail and Meridith went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was flawless. They handled everything, it looked amazing, was reasonably priced... and best of all, my guests are still talking about how yummy it was. Two big thumbs, way up.

They were good to work with. The food was amazing. Everyone was ranting and raving about how good everything was. They were not always quick to return phone calls or emails.

I wish I could have read more reviews of this company before booking them for our wedding reception. We went with Three Little Birds and here is a quick summary of our experience:
- For most correspondence, I would wait 4-5 days to hear back from Meridith and then I would have to email or call again to get a response.
- We had a low country boil. The food tasted fresh and of high quality but it was absolutely bland. We think they must have forgotten to add the old bay seasoning. We did not get a single compliment on the food.
- They were on time and professional the day of the event.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
