Kristen Sent on 12/26/2024Accommodating, flexible, creative and simply perfect
Catering by Corey is the best decision we made for out wedding reception. We wanted a more interactive dinner menu with food stations so people were able to walk around and visit while snacking on various types of food. Corey heard us loud and clear. Everything was perfect. The staff was friendly, fun and overall exceptional. The food was amazing. Everyone was so attentive and professional. Once the ceremony was over and even before we had a chance to take a picture, staff was waiting for us with some of the appetizers and a beverage. Following pictures, staff was there again waiting to make us our plates. We opted to go make our own and at the mac n cheese station, I told the server that she was making me too much but she said she was making extra "for later." I didn't know what that meant at the time, but before the reception was over, we were approached with a bag with two containers in it. Bride and groom "to go meals!!!!!" Perfect touch! -

Corey and her team were incredible to work with! Corey helped us to curate the perfect menu for our end of summer wedding. She was great in communicating as we made changes along the way and has plenty of options for our guests with special dietary needs (GF, vegan, etc.). The charcuterie spread for cocktail hour was to die for, the bread and butter, mains, sides, truly everything was SO tasty.My husband and I are both foodies and honestly this food lived up to the hype. Our guests were all talking about good everything was, the food was so flavorful. We did a buffet style so all our guests could try everything and it was a huge hit! Would recommend her to everyone planning a wedding in the Asheville area! There are also SO many options to fit the vibe of your wedding, truly such good food. -

Bridget Sent on 06/11/2024Amazing!!! 10/10 Experience!!
Corey was such a joy to work with!! She was so communicative and kind and made choosing our menu a breeze! She has so many options and even offered more off-menu choices when we mentioned that some of our guests were plant-based. Corey was so patient with us when we changed the menu several times and helped us choose the right number of items for each app so we’d have the right amount of each item for our guests! The food was amazing and everyone kept telling us how good it was all night!! Corey made the whole process so easy and non-stressful, I would definitely recommend hiring Catering by Corey for your wedding!! -

Courtney Sent on 02/26/2024Foodies, this is your caterer!
We had Corey’s team for our 2/17/24 wedding, and the food was incredible. We knew from the tasting that the food would be amazing, but then so many of our guests approached us after the wedding to go on about their amazing meal and the creative cocktail hour bites! Steak, salmon, mushroom risotto, and a dozen more entrees to choose from. We also had chicken and waffle bites, shrimp and grits spoons, a cheese board, and other cocktail hour food! The guests loved it. My mom and uncle have mentioned the steak being one of the best of their lives which is a HUGE compliment. I went with salmon and ate it all. Two other couples asked us for Corey’s information, and one couple has already booked them for their wedding!! It was fantastic and we would happily book them again! -

Jessica Sent on 11/05/2023Amazing people and amazing food!
They were absolutely amazing! We had a vegan/vegetarian wedding and everybody absolutely loved the food, even the skeptical people 😅. During cocktail hour they personally came out to my husband and I with appetizers to make sure that we ate. They plated our food and had our wine ready to go for us when we sat down, again making sure that we ate. They even overheard that one of my sensory-sensitive family members was not eating and without even asking they found out a food that he liked and brought it to him to make sure he ate. I cannot recommend them enough. They are absolutely amazing! The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious! -

We had such a wonderful experience working with Catering by Corey! It was an easy decision to go with them after hearing such great things from the AVL wedding community. Corey was always super responsive and organized throughout the planning process. They were willing to go above and beyond to make our menu customized and personal to us as a couple. We were thrilled to hear how much our guests raved about the food– the squash casserole specifically was a huge hit! Thank you again to Corey and her team for flawlessly executing our wedding day experience. -

Mere Sent on 07/26/2023Corey's team was amazing to work with!
I contacted them during the busy Fall 2022 wedding season and they were one of the few companies that sent a prompt response. This consideration and reliability was consistent throughout the planning process.
Corey patiently addressed all my inquiries and graciously accommodated multiple menu changes. Lindsey was on site for my venue walkthrough as well as my May, 2023 wedding and was very professional, kind, and knowledgeable. A few days after the wedding, I learned there had been some significant generator problems (it was an outdoor wedding). However, Corey's people were such pros, guests had no idea!
The food itself is delicious and the team’s timing impeccable. Following the ceremony, they gave my husband and me a few moments with the photographer before offering us glasses of water and a tray of appetizers, ensuring we didn't miss out on cocktail hour. I highly recommend the Appalachian egg rolls, bacon-wrapped figs, tostones with duck confit, and roasted red pepper stuffed mushrooms.
Our guests loved how quickly and seamlessly CbC served the plated dinners of trout with lemon beurre blanc, filet mignon with chimichurri, and vegan mushroom risotto. CbC also set up a coffee service after cake cutting which was a big hit. A nice finishing touch was being sent home with boxes of leftovers which my husband and I enjoyed the next day for lunch.
Wedding planning can be stressful, but working with your vendors doesn’t have to be. If you value quality food, excellent communication, and professional service, I wholeheartedly recommend Corey, Lindsey, and their entire team. They made our wedding day even more special and our guests still rave about the delicious food and impeccable service -

Allison Sent on 06/02/2023The most delicious vegetarian brunch ever!
Corey was on the list of preferred vendors for the North Carolina Arboretum and I reached out to her with a date just four months away. Thankfully, she was available, and she made our brunch wedding dreams come true. I asked for an all vegetarian menu and she wowed us with every dish. Everything was seasoned to perfection and I loved the color found on every plate. My meat-loving Dad is still gushing about how tasty the frittata was (I agree!). I highly recommend Corey for your catering needs. She's flexible, quick to respond, and most importantly, makes delicious food! She's also very accommodating to dietary restrictions and allergies. Her on-site team was professional, kind, and made sure everything went off without any issues. We are so happy we found Catering by Corey and would choose them again without question. -

Corey was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She was quick to respond when I initially reached out and so very helpful in planning the meal for our wedding. On top of that, the food was delicious and the staff and chef (Michael is awesome!) were so professional! They made sure that we got to enjoy our cocktail hour food and dinner too which was such a nice touch. Thank you! -

Leah Sent on 05/03/2023People are still raving about our wedding food
Catering by Corey exceeded all of our expectations! The mac and cheese was a standout, and the food was plentiful and absolutely delicious. We even had two full second dinners to enjoy the next day. The competitive pricing was appreciated, and the professionalism of the entire team was top-notch. From the initial consultation to the actual event, they were organized, courteous, and attentive to our needs. They made sure everything ran smoothly and our guests were well taken care of. Overall, we highly recommend Catering by Corey for a top-notch wedding catering experience. -

Lana Sent on 01/05/2023Raving Review! Don't sleep on the squash cassrole!!
I can't rave enough about Corey and her team! The prompt communication, fantastic tasting menu and wedding day food and set up were perfection! Corey was extremely easy to communicate with and provided great suggestions throughout the whole experience. I have been to friend's and family weddings at some of the most premier venues in NC and SC (and their catering budgets far surpassed our own) and those same friends were raving about our food! Corey is a master at her craft and I was so thankful to have her as part of my vendor team. -

Corey and her team were great from start to finish. Our experience at our tasting was so good we didn't even need to try any other caterers before we knew she was our choice! The food was delicious and fresh, the service was amazing, and the value is obvious. BEST caterer in Asheville! -

Britany Sent on 12/29/2022Best Catering and Bar Service!
Catering by Corey and Cheers by Corey were absolutely phenomenal! They made our day such an amazing one.
From the very first discussion with Corey about our wedding style and food requirements, she put together the perfect menu. We have a lot of dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegan, dairy free) and she was able to accommodate them all easily and without charging extra.
We appreciated how much local food she sourced and how amazing the food tasted. We got so many compliments and our guests raved about the food.
Aside from how great Corey and her staff were and how great the food was, we also loved that as the bride and groom we had an assigned member of the staff who was constantly checking in with us. We were never without a drink in our hand and were offered plates of food during cocktail hour as we were getting photos taken. This was not something I had anticipated but it made such a big impact.
Look no further than Catering by Corey or Cheers by Corey for your bar service. I wish I had an excuse to hire them again. Truly amazing. -

Our experience with Catering by Corey was spectacular! The menu items were unique and delicious. The team was easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. Being from out of state, we booked our catering before even having a tasting - just based off reviews and vendor recommendations we knew we could not go wrong with this team! And the late night snack options were the cherry on top - we went with a nacho bar and it was a crowd favorite. Thank you Catering by Corey! -

Jennifer Sent on 12/14/2022Fantastic food and great to work with!
Working with Catering by Corey for our wedding in August 2022 was such a great experience from start to finish. She had so many unique and creative options on her menu and let us modify our picks to be exactly what we wanted in our budget. We did the grilled pizza station, and it was SUCH a hit! I wanted something fun on the menu along with some classic options, so we also got chicken, pork chops, mashed potatoes, veggies, salad, and the charcuterie board. The food was all just as good, if not better, at the wedding as it was at our tasting too! She also made sure that their staff brought my husband and I our own charcuterie board and drinks during the cocktail party! This was definitely the easiest vendor for us to pick, and we're so happy we went with Corey! -

Jessica Sent on 09/18/2022Excellent Food & Service
I had a great experience working with Catering by Corey on the menu for my wedding in Asheville, NC. Corey & Team were easy to work with and extremely accommodating to all of the food allergies we learned of after receiving our RSVPs. Our entire menu was dairy-free & gluten-free and was absolutely delicious! Our guests could not stop talking about the food. I highly recommend hiring Catering by Corey for your catering needs! They are the best! -

Kristen Sent on 08/19/2022Amazing food!
Catering by Corey was BY FAR one of the best decisions I made for my wedding this past June. Her team was professional, on time, and the food was absolutely incredible. Corey's team made sure my husband and I had food during cocktail hour while we were taking photos. For dinner, we went with a plated option that had 2 meat options with sides, and the food was cooked to perfection. I even had a "food critic" guest who had zero complaints. Each table's food came out hot too (which we've all been to a wedding where you're the last table served and your food is already cold....but not with Corey's team!). Our best man even jokingly asked for a second plate because the food was so good, and they actually came out with a second plate for him! I just can't rave about Corey and her team enough! -

Catering by Corey did an amazing job with all the food for our wedding!!! Everyone was raving about it and a few of our guests told us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! In particular, the squash casserole was TO DIE FOR. Honestly, it was the talk of all our guests. Corey, I would be thrilled to get the recipe!!! We couldn't be more thrilled with how delicious the food was, the smoothness of the service and friendliness of the staff! Corey was so helpful and responsive during the planning process. So patient even with a number of changes I threw her way throughout the process. She was always calm, sweet, professional and accommodating. I really could not recommend Catering by Corey any more highly!! -

Tameka Sent on 07/16/2022Catering by Corey helped build a unique menu that reflected our personal tastes and style
One of the best decisions we made in our long journey for the perfect wedding was choosing Catering by Corey and Cheers by Corey. We worked with the Catering by Corey team to build a unique menu that reflected our personal tastes and style (e.g., mac and cheese bar with a nod to cajun flavors). Corey and the team were so helpful in helping us find what would really work for our diverse crowd of 100 friends and family without breaking the budget. Corey was very communicative throughout the entire process and organized two tastings to allow us to sample several delicious items to help nail down our menu. The result was a very impressive and well-rounded food and drink experience for us and our guests. Our guests loved our signature drinks, and Lindsey was so helpful in helping us make the perfect drinks that even our guests loved the small details that we added edible flowers that were beautiful in our photos. We worked with Corey to create our late-night snack, Juicy Lucy sliders; they were a hit with our guests and a great callback for our Minnesota crowd! Weddings are inherently stressful. There are so many details to worry about but Corey and the team were attentive, and professional for our event. One of the best parts of our experience on our wedding day that we didn’t anticipate was having someone of the staff be on hand to help give us water and drinks right after the ceremony. We are so happy with how everything turned out. We highly recommend the Catering by Corey team for your next event or wedding! -

Catering by Corey was recommended to us by a friend, and I am forever grateful for that friend's recommendation. Corey built an amazingly delicious menu based off of the idea 'Luau in the Mountains'. I still think about those Ahi Tuna appetizers and don't get me started on the mashed potatoes! Not only was the food amazing, Corey's staff was incredibly kind and attentive during our wedding celebration. Having a captain at the venue with us to cater to our needs and make sure we were fed was so valuable. Everything was great! Thank you so much, Corey! -

Bethany Sent on 07/06/2022Our Guests are STILL Raving!
It's safe to say the Catering by Corey team knocked it out of the park... my husband and I have been married for almost 3 months now and guests STILL tell us our food was the best food they've ever had at a wedding!
Corey was super easy to work with, made sure we understood all associated costs throughout the process, and even let us change the entire menu plan prior to our scheduled tasting! From shrimp and grits to a beef tenderloin carving station (plus special plates for our vegan and vegetarian guests), our selections were diverse and so so delicious!! Our food stations ended up being spread around the venue and the service staff handled this spectacularly - the entire dinner service was smooth and efficient.
From appetizers to late night snacks, and even a personal post-ceremony charcuterie board for bride/groom, Catering by Corey does it all amazingly well and I can't recommend them enough!! Best wedding food ever - just ask any of our guests!!
P.S. Be sure to check our Cheers by Corey also, our His/Her Signature Cocktails were a major hit!! -

We had originally picked a different less well known caterer who ended up flaking on us(we should have known). It was 6 weeks before our NYE wedding. Corey answered my email within minutes and within an hour had everything taken care of. She was absolutely one of the best vendors to work with. The day of the wedding I knew everything would be taken care of but her team went above and beyond our expectations. As soon as we walked back down the aisle she had someone waiting there with our appetizers and drinks. That same person brought us plates as soon as we sat down to eat and she repeatedly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. And the food! The foot was above our expectations. You can really tell they had perfected their art. I can not recommend Catering by Corey enough! -

My husband and I are foodies - but wanted to make sure the food for our wedding was delicious but still crowd pleasing. Catering by Corey certainly hit that mark! Everyone raved about about the food and how good everything was from the apps all the way through our late night snack. Corey even made some requested adjustments after our tasting that were exactly what we were looking for. Would highly recommend hiring them for your event! -

If you are seeking a catering service for your wedding in Asheville or the surrounding areas, look no further. Corey is hands down the BEST catering service I've ever had in my life. My guests could not stop talking about the food and how it tasted like a 5 star dining experience. Corey MADE our wedding night!!
