    Highly recommend

    I highly recommend Charleston Catering and Events! Amber and Keith are wonderful people, easy to communicate with and they are very affordable. They will work with you and your budget. Amber did an outstanding job putting my vision into reality on our wedding day. She went through all the hoops to make sure our postponed Covid wedding was everything we dreamed of! She and her team are very professional and were super easy to get along on with. By the time our wedding came around, it felt like Amber and I have known each other for years. Amber, Keith & crew, thank you for an amazing meal on our wedding day. We received so many compliments on how delicious the food was and how great you all were. Thank you for a beautiful day!❤️

    Lauren at Cafe Catering was very professional and listened to all of my ideas. She was able to capture my vision perfectly, down to the very last detail. Any questions that I had she explained patiently, without making me feel like I was an idiot or a bridezilla. In addition to the top-notch service, the FOOD was AMAZING. The taste and quality of the food was one of the very most important things to my husband and I. They sent us off with a huge shopping bag full of to-go boxes of everything so that we could sample all of it. Our guests are still raving about the food and service. They went above and beyond our expectations.

    Cafe Catering did the catering for my wedding at a beach house in Folly Beach and I HIGHLY recommend them! We had lime marinated steak, grilled to order crab cakes, shrimp and grits, and a she crab soup and salad station. Our guests were raving about how great the food was! Melissa Joseph was our event coordinator and she is fabulous to work with. She responded to my questions promptly and gave me great suggestions and advice. Their prices were good and the service was superb. I can't give them a high enough review and would definately recommend Cafe Catering for weddings!

    Amazing Team!!!!

    Amber and her team are AMAZING. 10 out of 10!!! We used Charleston Catering and Events for a small wedding. From beginning to the end I cannot say enough good things. After the first phone call I had with Amber, there was no question that everything was going to be perfect and then the tasting confirmed that. The tasting was absolutely incredible and the day of the wedding, it couldn’t have been better. We had one vegan guest who they made sure to take care of which was incredible. My vegan guest actually told me that she has never been so taken care of at any event and how thankful she was. On top of that, as soon as...

    Wedding Catering

    Charleston Catering and Events was such a pleasure to work with for our wedding day. The food that was prepared was amazing and all of our guest loved everything. Amber and Keith were easy to work with and made every adjustment I requested to have the final menu just the way I wanted it. I would highly recommend them!

    Delicious food and superior service!

    Keith and his staff provided not only delicious food but superior service in spite of last minute changes due to the weather. The captain personally offered to fix my husband and I (bride's parents) a plate realizing we were busy with other obligations. Our coordinator has nothing but "WONDERFUL THINGS" to say about them. They went above and beyond even pitching in at the end of the night to help break down rentals.

    We worked with cafe catering for our wedding stations and also worked with Jayme for the coordination. The food was absolutely incredible and our guests are STILL talking about it, but the best part of working with cafe catering was Jayme. She is an incredible coordinator and is worth every penny. She was so fun to work with and went above and beyond what I was expecting. The wedding day was absolutely perfect and stress free and I know this is because Jayme was all over it. I didn't have to worry about a single thing the day of the wedding - which is how it should be!

    Cafe Catering was absolutely amazing! They stepped in after our already booked caterer closed their doors two months from the wedding date and did an incredible job! All our wedding guests are still talking about the food and how delicious it was! Thank you Cafe Catering for a Wonderful Wedding for my daughter and now son-in-law.

    Our food was one of the most talked about and complemented elements of our wedding day. We are from Cincinnati and wanted to showcase lowcountry and southern cuisine for our guests: shrimp and grits, pulled pork, mac n cheese, crab cakes, chicken and waffles, fried green tomato stacks, she-crab soup ... Cafe knocked it out of the park. Even an uncle of mine who never comments on things, said how great the food was. Our guests really enjoyed the change of pace and the dishes were amazing. I'm not a fan of the look of traditional silver chafers and so they served everything on wooden risers, cast iron pots, and cast iron flat tops and the menu was written...

    Katie and the team were outstanding! Cafe Catering was our food vendor of choice from the beginning. Katie worked with us to get our menu down to the "T", we did a tasting a few months out (p.s. ensure to be hungry - haha), and then the day of was executed flawlessly. I ensured to eat a little bit of everything...and I believe most of my guests felt the same way. So many guests came up to us and said the food was the best they'd ever had, let alone the best at any wedding. The display of the food was even gorgeous. Thanks again Cafe Catering for an unforgettable night, we are forever grateful.

    Lauren and the Cafe team did an amazing job catering for our wedding. I had multiple guests tell me that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding! Being in Charleston, there is a higher standard for exceptional food, and Cafe exceeding our expectations. The quality of the food was very important to us, as more often than not, wedding food is boring (we all have had that "dry wedding chicken"). We had many out of town guests and wanted them to experience "Lowcountry" cuisine. Lauren did such an amazing job helping us pick stations that fit our vision and stay within our budget. The shrimp & grits and mac & cheese stations are a must!...

    Oh my goodness THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to Cafe Catering for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!! Not only is their food to die for (the crowd favorite was the smoked gouda shrimp and grits & crab cakes) but the presentation was flawless and the service, amazing. Katie at Cafe could not have been more helpful, kind, pleasant and professional when working with us in the planning and execution of the wedding. I will forever recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer in Charleston. Thank you again Cafe team for everything you did to make our wedding day a dream!

    Cafe Catering did an amazing job for our wedding! The food was amazingly good, which everyone raved about. We initially met Lauren Miller while viewing the Carriage House at Magnolia Plantation as a prospective venue. She was so sweet to take 10 min from setting up another wedding to chat with us and gave us advice about wedding planning in Charleston as we were planning from out-of-town. She gave us her card for Cafe Catering and we decided to try out their Cafe in Mt Pleasant that day for lunch. Of course, the food was delicious! After doing some price comparisons with a few other caterers in town, Cafe Catering had the best pricing with the best options and...

    I cannot even begin to say enough thank yous to Lauren Miller and Katie N. at Cafe Catering. Katie handled our food and beverage and did an outstanding job. She kept checking with me all night long to make sure things were going well. Her wait staff was also superb!
    Lauren Miller is amazing at what she does! She helped us coordinate our rentals for tables, lighting, linens, etc and made our original ideas come to life! She steered us in the right direction when we needed it but let us make our daughter 's wedding our own as well. I had every confidence that things would be done correctly and on time. She was responsive and efficient, yet...

    If you want people to talk about how good your food is after the wedding, choose Cafe Catering. I heard about Cafe Catering because they catered a friend's wedding. Their fried green tomato and pimento cheese sandwiches, crab cakes, and demi-tasse she crab soups convinced me that they were the caterer to choose. We had sauteed scallops and sushi-grade seared tuna on top of seaweed salad that was so delicious that my guests had eaten all of it by the time I had a chance to eat. The same happened with the crab cakes. I did get some of the fried green tomato and pimento cheese stacks, and they were so so delicious. Also, I chose the standard bar...

    Everything from the first meeting to the end of the reception was amazing with Lauren and Cafe' Catering. The food was incredible and many guests from the wedding are still raving about it! I have many family members that have worked for different catering companies across the states, and they all agreed that this was the best food and service that they have ever encountered. Lauren was more than helpful with everything, responded quickly to e-mails or questions, set up meetings to fit my schedule, allowed multiple food tastings, and made the entire process easy. I highly recommend them to everyone. I am already trying to get my friends to use them so that I can taste the delicious food again! I have only great things to say about them!

    We booked Cafe Catering for our wedding this May and would give them more than a 5 star rating if it was possible.
    We were originally attracted to Cafe Catering because of their outstanding reviews, and they completely exceeded our expectations!
    We had seafood, asian, and slider stations, and the food was out of this world! Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. Guests were literally stuffed and wished they had room to go back for more.
    We also used Cafe Catering's coordination services which was the best thing we did for the whole wedding. My husband and I are very dedicated to our jobs which left little time for planning. Not only...

    Cafe Catering made planning our wedding day absolutely effortless. They helped me create the perfect menu for us and even personalized menu items so that it could reflect us as a couple. Everyone at Cafe Catering responded quickly to emails and phone calls, as well as, handled any mishaps along the way. The day of the wedding, their amazing staff handled all aspects of the wedding. It was so nice to know that everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our big day. I have received more compliments on our food then any other aspect of the wedding. Cafe Catering made our big day perfect and one that we will always treasure and remember.

    I can't say enough good things about Cafe Catering and Lauren Miller of Cafe Catering (was our wedding coordinator)!! I actually chose Cafe Catering solely based on wedding wire reviews and value. I had already booked them when my then-fiance and I took our only pre-wedding trip to Charelston. While the food was good at the tasting, it was amazing at the wedding! Presentation, taste, everything was perfect! We had guests commenting on how the appetizers were the best they'd ever had at a wedding (and they live in Charleston and were married here using a different caterer) and how delicious the entrees were. "Foodie" family members commented on how great the food was... and we ate at all...

    All the wedding guests raved about the food. Along with being delicious the presentation was wonderful.

    Lauren Miller and her staff were great to work with.......we had so much guidance regarding pairings and selections while staying within our budget.

    Lauren Miller and Cafe Catering made my day complete. From the very beginning, she/they were invaluable. Lauren was able to take my scattered vision and turn into something real with color and simplicity that fit my rustic venue to a tee. No matter how many questions, cost saving suggestions or requests for a change I made, Lauren's patience and personality never wavered. She was flexible, professional, responsive, willing to juggle both my mom and me, creative and the list just goes on and on. When it came to the day of, Lauren was worth her weight in gold. I felt I could relax because I knew she was taking care of everything that needed to be taken care of....
