    Thank you!

    Deborah and her staff were more than amazing for our wedding reception. They made sure every detail was perfect from the very beginning. The food was incredible and was exactly what we wanted. We heard great reviews from our guests. We couldn't have been happier.

    Best catering company in georgia

    Look no further regarding quality, customer service, delivery, and flavor! Mrs. Deborah and the staff of Dogwood Catering were the best. We searched high and low to find the best catering service in Atlanta and found a true gem. Mrs. Deborah was very welcoming and warm from our first phone call; this was the same for our tasting. She listened well and was able to carry out our desires. On the wedding day, their staff were in uniform, professional, courteous, and ensured that dinner was smooth and effortless. Guests praised the taste and had nothing but positive compliments. Nothing went to waste! We're so happy and forever grateful that we made Dogwood Catering our choice for our wedding, and we definitely would use them for our future catering needs and highly recommend them for your event as well.

    Delicious Food!

    Dogwood Catering served AMAZING food at our wedding! Starting with our initial inquiry, Deborah was very responsive and helpful. At our tasting, they gave us full-sized meals AND leftovers. Choosing them was a no-brainer for us! Many of our guests continue to rave about the food at our wedding, which was several months ago. We chose the fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, and bruschetta crostini for our passed appetizers. Our main courses included the bistro filet of beef medallions, herb roasted chicken, and butternut squash. I would highly highly recommend Dogwood Catering and would book them again for future events! All pictures but one are from our tasting - the presentation of food at our wedding was very nice!

    Guests have been raving!

    We knew the food was delicious, the staff was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with, and we had nothing to worry about with Dogwood Catering going into our wedding weekend. More than anything, so many of our guests have been absolutely gushing about how many options and how amazing the food was at our wedding. Starting the night of the event, we had people coming up to us to tell us how good the food was and now several weeks later, we still have guests from our wedding telling us they were blown away by the food! We are so incredibly thankful to staff for treating us and our guests to delicious food from the selection of hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour all the way to the soft pretzel wall late night snack. Thank you Dogwood!

    Delicious food!

    Our guests are still raving about the delicious food at our wedding! We loved menu options and it was so easy to work with Dogwood to create the perfect menu for our event. Jennifer was so lovely to work with- she is incredibly professional, proactive, and so available to clients. We can't recommend Dogwood enough- absolutely incredible food and amazing customer service!

    Best food ever

    Food can make or break a wedding. We used Dogwood Catering as it was a requirement through our venue, and went with a southern-inspired buffet after an incredible tasting. We've had so many people tell us after the wedding that the food was amazing! Would highly recommend!

    Unbelievably Good Food!

    My husband Tanner and I had our wedding catered by Dogwood Catering on 12.05.20 and we will never be able to say enough good things about how incredible the experience was working with Jennifer or how unbelievably amazing the food was! From our initial contact, Deb and Jennifer were a huge help crafting a unique menu with us. At our tasting, we were blown away by the food and the decision was made before we left the parking lot. In the weeks before the wedding, Jennifer made the pre-wedding process as easy and stress-free as I ever could have hoped, even with the changing dynamics of the pandemic. At the wedding, the staff were amazing and professional and took incredible care of us and our guests - but the most important aspect is of course - the food! We had dozens of guests tell us it was the best food they had ever eaten at a wedding. The menu options, the presentation of the food and quality of each dish was completely amazing. I cannot possibly recommend Dogwood any higher if you are looking for an event or wedding caterer.

    Amazing Food!

    We absolutely loved Dogwood Catering at our wedding! The food was completely incredible. Everyone came up to us during the wedding and told us it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. They were very flexible with food allergies as well, and in fact made two versions of one of our dishes for me so I could taste it!

    The food was just perfect. Literally the best food I've ever had at a wedding!

    Amazing Food!

    My daughter got married this past September and through our wedding planner Irene Tyndale, we were introduced to Dogwood Catering. After a very lack luster tasting elsewhere we decided to give them a try. BEST decision of the whole wedding. We knew before the end of the tasting that we had a caterer that really cared about the quality of food, unique presentation and great service. The wedding was a huge success as guests were all talking about the great food and service. Jan our sales coordinator did a wonderful job keeping me informed all along the way and we are so grateful to her and the entire staff at Dogwood Catering.

    I cannot day enough wonderful things about Dogwood catering. From the planning to the event they were fabulous to work with. The staff was extremely professional, the display presentations were beautiful, the food was incredible and my house, after a party for almost 100 people was as clean as a whistle. Do not waste your time talking to any other caterer. Use Dogwood and only Dogwood. They were the best!

    How often have you been to a wedding and said to yourself: "wow, that is the best _____ I ever had!" Probably often or never, right? Well, we have heard that not just once, but multiple times from our guests. My husband and I consider our tastes as more sophisticated than most, and my personal love for cooking has caused me to develop a deeper understanding of techniques, and proper preparation. When we attended our tasting with dogwood, the first thing that stood out to us was the care and detail put into the presentation. They had put together a beautiful arrangement of seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Most of the tastings we had been to gave little to no thought to what decorations adorned the table. Once the food was brought out, it was beautifully arranged on the plate with the same flair you would see in a fine dining restaurant, this, coupled with the table arrangement, showed that the chef and their team have pride in their work. The menu that was prepared for us that day was unique, but still accessible and palatable to every taste bud, and was sophisticated without being pretentious. Everything we had tasted was seasoned and cooked perfectly but the thing that really caught my attention was the salmon. Not only was it cooked to a perfect medium (which matched my preferences) but the skin was left on, which is a good technique to ensure the fish does not over dry. Once we picked Dogwood as our vendor, they were friendly and accommodating to work with, including coming up with menu items that were outside their normal offerings. We also had about 10% of kosher guests at our wedding of various degrees of adherence to kosher laws, which dogwood was also great about being sensitive towards and making sure our guests were taken care of. Our wedding was executed perfectly and their staff is incredibly kind and passionate. I'd choose Dogwood a million times over!

    Dogwood Catering was a huge life saver, and an amazing decision for us and all of our guests! A month out, and we still have people talking about how amazing the food was, and that they’ve never had such good food at a wedding before. We lost our original caterer about 3 months before the wedding, so we had to start from square one, and *thankfully* came across Dogwood Catering’s listing on Wedding Wire. I worked mostly with Amanda, and she was always prompt in communicating by email, and answered all of my many questions.

    Chef Will had a great vision for unique foods, and was really easy to work with. We went into our tasting, and talked about a few different combinations, and he had some great ideas, and delivered on those ideas on the day-of. We went with a “southern style buffet” with pork sliders and chicken, all with unique and flavorful twists. His macaroni cheese and pimento cheese fried green tomatoes were amazing! The presentation was very professional, and very unique. They have great attention to detail - Chef Will and Amanda asked for my colors, theme, and flowers that we were using to make sure they matched the buffet and cocktail décor for consistency. They were really flexible on any changes we had, and I felt like they were genuinely excited to cater our wedding. At first the scramble to find a new caterer seemed like a headache, but I would NOT have had it any other way – I cannot imagine our wedding without Dogwood Catering. Thanks Chef Will for the amazing food and service.

    Will and Alicia from Dogwood were fantastic. The whole team really knocked it out of the park. We got so many compliments on the food from our guests. Everything was flavorful, hot, and exactly how we wanted it. I couldn't have been more pleased.

    Chef Will from Dogwood catering was really great to work with. We had a small backyard wedding at our home. I told him we wanted a fancy picnic and that is exactly what we got! three different kinds of deviled eggs, smoked chicken salad in wonton wrappers (so good I ate like ten) an amazing fruit and veggie spread and that was just for cocktail hour. For dinner we did simple hot dogs, hamburgers an chicken sandwiches with mac n cheese, a tater tot bar w toppings and fried green tomatoes with goat cheese. The meats were cooked on site and so good and flavorful land the topping bar was huge with everything you could want to put on a sandwich. The sides were awesome and all my family from up north really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes which they had heard about but never tried. All in all the food and service was great and at a super reasonable price. Chef Will gave us above and beyond what we wanted and really took our little backyard wedding up a level with the way his team presented the food. I would recommend his company and will use him again if I ever plan another event.

    I am so glad that we chose Dogwood Catering for our wedding! I was honestly nervous because they seemed a little disorganized during the planning process... but came through with perfect execution! I was immediately impressed with their food when we went for a tasting. And having gone to a wedding or two since our own, I can't believe our luck - I've had wedding food that I know was far more expensive than our own, and Dogwood's was much better and just as well (if not better) presented! Mmm, my mouth waters just thinking about their tasty upscale Southern cuisine!

    I was obviously distracted on the big day, but they made sure we didn't have to worry about anything and were very professional. They made sure to serve us all the appetizers and dinner that we wanted. The Trolley Barn has very strict rules and a strict time frame for setting up and breaking down, and they worked hard to get everything together and put away. I just recently got our professional photos back and got to appreciate the buffet table - it was beautiful and very fitting for the venue and our theme!

    Book Dogwood Catering for your event. You won't regret it!

    I chose to work with Dogwood Catering after a friend recommended them. The tasting was delicious and Jan was accommodating with any requests we had. It did take a few emails back and forth to get everything worked out, but it was well worth it for the price. We had lots of compliments from guests about the food provided and the bartenders supplied were great! I would recommend this vendor to couples looking to have good food for a great price.
