    Great Food and Service!

    Bradford Catered Events provided excellent food and service all around. Everyone loved the food at the wedding, and they were responsive, professional, and flexible throughout the planning process. Their menus made selecting food for the reception easy, they quickly responded to all of my questions, and they effortlessly handled all of our last-minute changes to the guest count, hours of service needed, tablecloths needed, etc. We recommend this caterer wholeheartedly!

    Amazing people

    We had to cancel our wedding due to COVID-19 and Beverly was so kind and lovely, refunding us most of our deposit (regardless of our contract agreement) and cancelling the other payments. Her consideration and flexibility meant a lot to us in such a difficult time. You can trust that Bradford Catering will take great care of you!

    Excellent service and quality

    The only complaint would be a little more roast per serving. Other than that were so gracious allowing the tasting and answering all questions, honest recommendations, and helping select a cohesive menu. Serving staff was wonderful and brought hor d'oeuvres up to us so we could eat while we were getting the last few photos before being introduced in the reception. As the bride, I didn't end up having to travel to the bar myself, but guests were impressed by the food, staff, and bar. Definitely recommend and would use for other catered events.

    Amazing Food

    The food was absolutely amazing! They were so easy to work with. I am from out of state and was a little scared since I never did a taste test, was definitely not disappointed!

    Excellent Food & Service!

    My guests raved about the food, even our youngest critics! You know it was good when you end up with zero leftovers and ordered more than enough to feed your crowd!! The bacon wrapped green beans were a huge hit, personally I loved the mashed potatoes and pork!
    I cannot say enough about the servers, they were polite and very professional! I didn’t have to worry about a thing, they were very efficient and did a lovely job! Thank you Beverly and team!!!

    So flexible

    We ended up having to cancel most of our plan with them, but they made sure we got a refund and everything we were able to have was great. Mollianne was super to work with.

    Delicious Food & Great Service!

    Bradford helped make my reception perfect. The pot roast, chicken, steamed veggies, potatoes, bread rolls, and salad were spectacular! Everyone couldn't stop talking about how the pot roast melted in their mouths. We did a buffet style, since the venue did not have a kitchen at all. Despite that, the food was hot, perfectly cooked, and everyone loved it! Thank you so much!!

    Delicious, professional, and great to work with!

    Bradford was so wonderful to work with all the way from an initial quote, a tasting, and many changes we brought them throughout our wedding planning process. Beverly and her team were responsive, kind, and experts on the day of. The food was delicious and we actually got a lot of compliments. We also used their bartenders and got our wedding cake from them. Both were wonderful and we had people asking us to take cake home after! We were nervous about a buffet set up, but their team are rockstars and it was beautifully handled.

    Great food, great service

    Beverly and the Bradford catering staff were great! We did stations for our wedding and the food was very good. They were very patient with us, especially since we changed our menu a couple of times before the wedding. Not only did it taste great but the presentation was fabulous as well. Our guests were very happy with the food!

    Best wedding food i have ever had!

    We planned our wedding from three states away, so we put a lot of research into vendors before picking someone. Bradford Events blew us away! The reviews we read were not kidding! The food is SO GOOD! We highly recommend the sweet potato roll (my mom hates sweet potato and even she loved them)! Everything we had was fantastic! In addition, they were so easy to work with and really worked hard to accommodate our needs regarding guests with sever allergy restrictions. We mainly worked with Mollianne and she went above and beyond! Even our photographers were excited when they found out who we hired as caterers and called them the "best in Knoxville." So true!

    Best Caterer in Knoxville!

    Bradford has the reputation of being the best caterer in Knoxville - because it's true! I reached out to multiple catering companies to get quotes for my wedding, some of which didn't even respond. Bradford's staff immediately responded to my inquiries and set up meetings to go over what we would be looking for. They were helpful with all of our questions, giving recommendations for how we envisioned the day going, and the Bradford food is delicious! While we did a buffet, we had a few vegetarians we got plated entrees for - with no issue! We also ordered our cake through Bradford, which was excellent and convenient not needing to go through another vendor!

    Day of the wedding, the Bradford employees were extremely polite to guests, dressed professionally, and extremely attentive! Before I even noticed my water glass was getting low, the Bradford staff was bringing me a refill.

    We got many compliments on all of the food and the cake! Will definitely be using Bradford for events in the future!

    Excellent food and service

    Beverly was wonderful to communicate with and very responsive. I did not get to eat much food even though she had made me a huge plate with everything on it. Our guests commented on how delicious the food was!

    Bradford Catered Events's reply:

    Thank you Shawnee! We appreciate your feedback and are so happy that you were pleased with our services! Wishing you the very best

    Magical & lovely

    An absolute JOY to work with! Beverly went above and beyond and her kind heart radiates in everything she does! My wedding was on a mountain top and she personally delivered my cake so that it wouldn’t get messed up and if it did, she would be there to fix it! The food is AMAZING - they are artists with food! All of our guests raved about how delicious everything was! They were beyond professional, on time, and executed everything flawlessly. I am honored to have had Bradford as a part of our special day!

    We had Bradford cater our wedding and could not be happier with our decision! The food was incredible! The service was beyond our expectations from our first meeting with Diane to the clean up after the wedding! They went above and beyond numerous times to make sure our special day was the best it could be! For starters, they bought a certain type of dressing that my picky husband loves. We had our wedding at my aunt's house and the day after our wedding, she told us they cleaned up her kitchen so well that you couldn't even tell they were ever there! That in itself assured us we made the right pick! We would use them a thousand times over again if we could!

    It goes without saying that Bradford is known as Knoxville's best caterer! Our wedding planner insisted we book Bradford as our caterer and I am so glad we did. The team at Bradford were amazing to work with- they are we booked their services for our buffet and cake. The company mashed potatoes were such a hit- one guest mentioned them in her instagram post from that night- "Best mashed potatoes my mouth has ever received." The cake was such a hit as well- I had guests walking up to me complimenting my dress and also the cake- ha!

    Thank you, Bradford for making our night so memorable and leaving guests with memories of tasty food and full bellies!

    Bradford catered my husband's 75th birthday party. We were impressed at the ease of working with Diane Hayes to select the menu and to coordinate the party. Excellent food, presentation and service. My guests all commented on the food and service. I would recommend Bradford to others and I will use them again.

    I wouldn't have chosen anyone other than Bradford to cater my wedding. The food is absolutely incredible and the staff are wonderful to work with. They knew my husband and I didn't have time to eat much at our wedding so they boxed up food for us to take with us when we left! Diane is wonderful to work with, we are so happy we chose Bradford!

    Bradford Catered Events recently catered my wedding on July 7, 2017 and I must say that they did a PHENOMENAL job! I searched for months for a caterer that could provide the quality of food and service that I was dreaming of for my wedding and they absolutely blew my expectations away! Beverly was extremely helpful from the start and helped accommodate the menu to our liking. And Bradford's pricing was so reasonable! At the wedding, everyone kept talking about the food and how great it was! Their service was absolutely spectacular! I was beyond impressed with the professionalism of the staff and how they were on top of everything! We had plenty of leftovers from the wedding and enjoyed eating those leftovers on our honeymoon and they were still SO DELICIOUS! Thank you Bradford for your hard work and dedication to your clients and for making our special day a dream come true!
