Incredible and perfect!

Donna and her team made sure that every detail and need we had was fulfilled. Ten years after our wedding, our guests are still talking about how fabulous the food and service was. Best of all, my brother was end of life but able to attend, and Donna made sure that his favorites were included and perfectly prepared.

Delicious and Accommodating!

Townsend Catering did a wonderful job catering our June 2021 wedding. They did passed hors d'oeuvres, plated dinner, and bar services. They worked within dietary needs very well, our vegan and gluten free guests were happy with their options. The wait staff was professional and timely. We felt very well taken care of the entire evening. Townsend was prompt in responding as we worked to finalize the menu and meet all our requests. 100% worth it for delicious, healthy food that impressed all our guests. The fish course was garnished with a surprise of beautiful edible flowers that were a show stopper. We are so happy we picked Townsend Catering.

Best food ever

Townsend was the difference maker that put our wedding over the top! Their food was out of this world, every wedding guest was raving about it! The staff is so friendly, Donna and team were a dream to work with. They helped us navigate moving our wedding date and never blinked an eye. I cannot recommend them enough - if you have your wedding on 30A you NEED to have Townsend for your catering/rentals!!

Such a great experience!

Townsend Catering did an incredible job with our rehearsal dinner in Miramar beach. We booked a house for our wedding that would hold all of our guests and Townsend catering came and set everything up and created the perfect evening for us right where we were staying. They brought tables, linens, and everything that we needed to have a stress free night. We worked with Sherri and she just went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect! The food was so amazing!! The beef tenderloin practically melted in your mouth and I literally could eat the mashed potatoes with a shovel. SO DELICIOUS!! This team was top notch and every single person that was working was incredibly kind, congratulating us and making us feel so special. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and can't recommend Townsend Catering enough!

Absolutely delicious!

Townsend Catering is hands done the BEST catering company in the Santa Rosa Beach area! They go above and beyond with their food! The presentation is always gorgeous and the flavor is phenomenal!! During our tasting for our wedding, it was so hard to pick what we wanted on our menu because everything was just that good! They even offered to make us our own signature drink for the wedding! The people were great to work with and wanted to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Our wedding guests even raved about the food!!

Donna and her staff went above and beyond to make the food and drink at both our welcome party and wedding reception immaculate. Their food is not only beautiful, but it is so so delicious. The tasting we attended while planning our menu was definitely the highlight of all of our wedding planning. Everyone I came into contact with was courteous and friendly. We would not change a thing. Look no further for a top notch company for catering any event!

I had been referred to Townsend through a customer, who was also a destination bride. She gave me glowing reviews about Donna and her team. I had pretty high expectations and they were all met. Not at all your typical wedding food. Everything was tasty as well as beautifully presented! We also had a raw bar, and the oysters were PERFECTLY shucked!!! Everyone was blown away. We also used Townsend for bar services. I sent drink recipes and they were executed perfectly.
Not to mention weather on my wedding day was not the greatest, so they ended up having to move ALL of the setup outside to inside during the ceremony! You would have thought that we had always planned it that way. It was set up so beautifully. I cannot thank Donna and the whole Townsend Catering crew enough!!!

We were married in Rosemary Beach on 3/3/18...and I am STILL getting texts and phone calls about how great our food was. Like any bride and groom we probably ate the least out of everyone but we got a bunch of the leftovers delivered to our suite that night and it was still so delicious the next day! If you want to WOW your guests you have to have Townsend cater, they are top notch and so delightful to work with. Their bar services are also amazing and make it so much easier than trying to guess how much liquor/beer/wine you need to buy in advance. I am forever grateful to Townsend, now I just want to go back to another event in the area to enjoy their awesome food!

I absolutely cannot recommend Townsend Catering Company enough! They are INCREDIBLE. You can tell that they are truly passionate about what they do, and it shows in everything from the friendly, attentive service to the impeccable food. Our menu was executed perfectly, and many of our guests said that the food was some of the best they had ever had - not at a wedding, just in life. It's really that good.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have been entertaining/performing at wedding events with Townsend Catering since 2008 and have nothing but positive things to say about this talented company. Not only do they treat your event to the best catering and food options, but the staff is by far the most professional, hard working group I've experienced working with the last 7 years. You will be extremely happy with your decision in choosing Townsend for your private/wedding event.
