    Highly recommend!

    John was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding catering. He was so easygoing and flexible with the set menus. We were able to swap items for ones we preferred with no hassle at all. The menu options had great variety, our tasting went smoothly, and he took the time to answer every question we had.

    Most importantly, the food was delicious and our guests are still talking about it. John was quick to respond, extremely professional, and made the entire process stress-free. I would recommend him to any future bride without hesitation!

    Outstanding food and excellent service

    While on the hunt for wedding catering vendors, we came across John he seemed to check off every box from being local to where our venue was to offering to cook onsite and serve. We immediately booked a tasting with John - and that did not disappoint! He allowed us to try several different entrees and sides - as well as his amazing buffalo chicken dip. He cooked each item for us upon our arrival and presented it so beautifully - our tasting was so amazing we had a hard tome choosing only 3 entrees! We recieved so many compliments after the reception on how great the food was - the steaks were cooked to perfection and everything was delicious. Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was too. We opted for s sit down/service style dinner and it was executed very efficiently and all staff members were so nice and attentive - John is an amazing chef and has a stellar team! We did a grazing board and buffalo chicken dip for apps during cocktail hour and allowed guest to select between filet, herbed airline chicken or shrimp and grits - no one was disappointed!
    We also used John and his team for our rehearsal dinner where we did a catered taco bar - and that was amazing as well. I would recommend John with Ellington Catering LLC for any of your catering needs!

    Love Fuqua Catering!

    John and his team at Fuqua Catering are fantastic! Fuqua catered both our rehearsal and our wedding reception dinner. The food each night was absolutely delicious! It was definitely a highlight of our weekend. I’m sure we will have guests continue tell us how fantastic the steak and mashed potatoes were for many years to come :) John was very responsive, organized, and thorough in the months leading up to the wedding. The staff was excellent on the days of our events and so pleasant to work with. If we ever have a large gathering again, I’d love to use Fuqua for catering.

    Great food!

    Meeting for the food tasting was easy. The food samples were all delicious, and it was easy to talk through and understand each menu option and pricing to stay within budget. Even making upgrades to our selected entree was affordable and our guests were very happy with the food!

    Prefect on every level

    Secured Fuqua’s services for our youngest son’s wedding rehearsal dinner. From the first contact to the final ‘goodnight’ they exuded the most professional expertise I have dealt with. An amazing variety of menu options, place settings, and desserts- choosing what to serve was the most daunting challenge. The serving staff was incredibly attentive during the entire event, and helped pack up leftovers when they were finished. Makes me wish I had more kids to marry off!

    2nd Wedding Success!

    Not my second wedding- the second among our kids. Would have been the third but I was too slow to book them for that one. From the first phone call, Fuqua Catering was prompt, professional, and polite. A wide array of menu choices coupled with a variety of dinnerware options allow you to meet all of your priorities from taste to budget. They did exactly what they said they would do. Arrived on time, were completely set up and ready when the party arrived, and even helped pack up a few leftovers. They cleaned up beyond expectations and managed keep up with every guest’s drinks and dishes. From beginning to end, it was an absolute pleasure working with the Fuqua team!

    Simply amazing!

    We loved working with John! He was very responsive and helped us find the perfect menu for our wedding. The staff was excellent and our guests were raving about the food all night!

    Everything was perfect. From the passed appetizers to the late night cheese burgers, everything was excellent. Would highly recommend working with John and his team!

    Emma Kate/Daniel Turner Wedding

    We really enjoyed working with Fuqua Catering for our wedding! John was our main contact and he was incredibly helpful, answering all of our questions with a quick turn around. They even allowed us to have a free tasting which made the decision process that much easier. We received raving reviews about the food all evening! We highly recommend the fettuccine Alfredo and the meatball appetizer. However, everything that we ate that night was delicious. Definitely book with Fuqua catering if you enjoy great food and an amazing staff!

    Absolutely perfect catering! Highly recommend!

    You absolutely couldn't ask for a better catering service! Fuqua catering has great variety of menu options to choose from that can suit any tastes. Fuqua is also very accommodating to any special requests and will work to find a solution that is just right. And all of the food was so delicious!!! Our guests loved the food so much; actually so much so that they literally took all the leftovers! Fuqua catering was professional during the entire process: very responsive to messages, answers any questions (in a kind, professional manner), can provide various quotes to help compare pricing for different options, and just well-organized all around. The day of event staff were very friendly, helpful and professional. They made it so that our food and bar service ran smoothly, without any problems at all. And the pricing for all this high quality food and service was veryy reasonable! I would highly recommend Fuqua Catering to anyone and everyone. They helped make our wedding enjoyable and wonderful celebration!

    My daughter’s wedding reception

    From start to finish working with John was an amazing experience! He was so helpful during the planning and answering any questions that we had prior to the wedding. He was also so accommodating with my nephew’s nut allergy and making sure everything was safe for him. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. Everything was set up and taken care of for us, from beginning to end. The food was DELICIOUS.. every single thing that we had was cooked to perfection. We had so many guests come up and compliment the food and say it was the best they had ever had! At the end of the night they cleaned up everything and had all the leftovers packaged and in the refrigerator for us. I would recommend John Ellington and Fuqua Catering for any event. I’m totally convinced that you will never find better food or service anywhere else and there is nobody else I would ever call to cater an event for! They are the BEST!

    Rehearsal Dinner for our Son and new Daughter in Law

    John Ellington and his staff are the very best at the job of catering any and all events!! John came out to view the venue and made suggestions and verified where we would like all of the food and beverages to be placed. His staff came and set up a wonderful display and everything was so professional at every turn. The Staff were polite, professional and fun to have at the event. They served and were just wonderful. They packed up the food and cleaned up the area so we did not have to worry at all about any of those types of things. And the food was so very delicious, and everything was as promised. If you are looking for the very best food, service, planning, delivery and execution, the team of John Ellington and his staff should be your ONLY choice!!! Thanks so much, John, for a job well done!!!

    Amazing Food!

    John was absolutely amazing to work with. My wife is a super picky eater and he was able to make sure she had plenty to eat that she liked while also having “fancy” menu items as well for our wedding! John was super responsive with taking care of allergen concerns and answering any questions along the way. His team at the event was super professional and kind! Also, THE FOOD. It was absolutely delicious and all of our guests raved about it! I wish we could have them cook dinner for us every night! We also ended up with leftovers so we got to enjoy the food for the next week as well!

    Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

    We used Fuqua catering for our wedding rehearsal. We had them serve appetizers, then a beef and chicken taco bar and finally a strawberry shortcake dessert. They were prompt and courteous. They even put the leftover food in tins and labeled each item for us. I would recommend using them for your event..

    Great food, professional staff and reasonably priced

    We planned a barn wedding in just a few months-Fuqua catering was responsive and flexible with regards to planning. On site the catering staff and bartenders were equally so-asked appropriate questions as needed and left me with little think about! The food was terrific and I would highly recommend them for your event!

    Great experience

    I worked with them in conjunction with Waverly Estate & was very pleased with the entire experience. I also had so many compliments on the food & was able to sit down & enjoy the meal myself as well. We had the roasted chicken leg, barbecue, green beans, Mac & cheese, & cole slaw with rolls & loved every bit of it!

    Awesome!!!!

    John was super helpful, responsive, and accommodating! We had several allergies/dietary limitations and he made sure our desserts came from a nut free facility and made special plates for our guests with other restrictions. He spent several hours with us during the tasting and helped us to create our menu. And the food was awesome! We had the traditional buffet meal and a cookie-ice cream bar with out of the oven cookies. We didn’t get to try the dessert but heard great things. Highly recommend!
