The Whole Package
Holmes Catering was a pleasure to work with leading up to our wedding and on the big day. While choosing a caterer, we were able to go to one of Holme's group tastings and were happy that the food at our wedding was high quality like it was at the tasting. The food options were vast, and the quality truly was awesome and not like 'typical' catering that tends to include overcooked meat, and bland sides.
During the planning process, Holmes Catering made it easy to see how much we would spend on food, which helped with our budgeting process. It was also very convenient that we were able to directly rent our linens from them as...Holmes Catering was a pleasure to work with leading up to our wedding and on the big day.

During the planning process, Holmes Catering made it easy to see how much we would spend on food, which helped with our budgeting process. It was also very convenient that we were able to directly rent our linens from them as they took care of bringing them, setting them up, and cleaning them. On the day of, their staff was on top of it despite issues we had with our venue/lack of communication from the venue to the caterers. The staff members were attentive, professional, and kind. My husband and I were served at our table while guests went through the line, and they made sure to provide a to go box for us to take at the end of the day.
I'm so grateful we worked with Holmes! -

Fantastic Food and Service
We used this company with Lion's Gate Manor as our venue. They were quick to respond and very easy to work with. You meet with them in the beginning to choose linens, place settings, etc. We rented centerpieces and linens with them and it was such a great decision. Anything you rent through them, they setup and also take down. It made cleanup at the end of the night so much easier! You talk with them again a few weeks prior to the wedding to confirm menu and other selections. The food is absolutely fantastic and we received many compliments.We used this company with Lion's Gate Manor as our venue. They were quick to respond and very easy to work with.

Fantastic food and service
We met with Sarah initially, and she was so helpful in working with our budget and vision to create a wedding menu that was perfect for us! Throughout wedding planning, Sarah was very easy to get in touch with, and we were able to make changes to our menu after attending the tasting. The company was so professional and wonderful making everything happen on our wedding day! And wow, the chicken in Jack Daniels cream sauce was an absolute HIT with us and our guests!We met with Sarah initially, and she was so helpful in working with our budget and vision to create a wedding menu that was perfect for us!

Delicious food
All our guests were raving about the delicious food. We are still hearing comments about how great it was, even from our most “hard to please” friends. We had creamy chicken with spinach and tomatoes, mashed potato bar, salad, and green beans. The serving staff was professional and quick to help any of our guests. The serving table was beautifully designed and Holmes made sure it fit well with the theme I had planned. Overall, it was fantastic. I would highly recommend Holmes Catering for any event, big or small.All our guests were raving about the delicious food.

Wonderful and easy experience!
I loved how flexible the menu was and how budget-conscious they were. You could easily mix and match menus, which allowed us to create the perfect menu for our night! The team was great to work with, and made the experience very enjoyable.I loved how flexible the menu was and how budget-conscious they were.

HOLMES CATERING IS “THE ABSOLUTE BEST” CATERER YOU COULD CHOOSE! Hands down, Tim Holmes provides the best food, the best presentation, the best service possible, all at reasonable prices. Tim, as well as everyone on his staff, are a joy to work with! We are so glad we chose Holmes Catering to do our daughter’s reception & have absolutely no regrets, only tons of compliments from our guests who could not say enough about their work! The guest favorites were the beef tenderloin, shrimp and grits, sausage skewers and Mediterranean style antipasti salad. The lavish silver décor was elegant & decadent!

Holmes catering takes pride in doing things with excellence and integrity & were such a blessing to our family at every turn! Tim was instrumental in navigating us through the wedding process & his expertise was invaluable in making the right food choices, the best ideas for décor for our particular venue, & the right decisions regarding what type & number of rentals we needed. Their warehouse is filled with options for décor styles of every kind to choose from. It was WONDERFUL to be able to have one vendor for both the food service & the rentals & not have to try to coordinate one more vendor into such a busy time. Tim went above & beyond expectations to make our daughter’s special day be all it could be! We NEVER worried about them not upholding their end & in fact Tim personally stepped up to help in a big way, without a word of complaint when another vendor had to leave un-expectantly at a critical time in our reception. The guests never knew there was an issue nor did he disrupt our celebration with it, he just took care of it. They are professional, knowledgeable, & patient as well as a calming presence in an industry filled with many variables & much stress. They always respond to emails/calls in a timely manner & simply could not have done a better job for us! They have an OUTSTANDING REPUTATION in the catering industry and now I know it is WELL DESERVED! -

My daughter was married June 7 2014 and they chose to use Tim Holmes Catering for both the rehearsal dinner and their reception.
Awesome, awesome, awesome!
From the beginning planning stages to the end after the reception they were top notch, not to mention the food is excellent and displayed wonderfully.

The food was great. I really appreciated the fact that the food was fresh and seasoned well. I sampled many caterers in the area and Tim Holmes Catering food and service was far superior. The staff went above and beyond to customize a menu to meet your budget. They even included the cake stand and cake cutting service.The food was great.

Holmes Catering was recommended to us by our venue because of the delicious food they provide, and also their immaculate presentation. Tim provided our initial consultation and then we worked with Sarah closer to the time of the event. Both were wonderful, and super easy to work with. The food was amazing, but I was most impressed with the staff that night. Plates were cleaned immediately, they checked on guests at all the tables, and even brought drinks from the bar if requested, though that was not part of their job. They went above and beyond and were so incredibly nice!! I would recommend them to anyone for any special event.Holmes Catering was recommended to us by our venue because of the delicious food they provide, and also their immaculate presentation.

We had wedding guests travel to SC from all over the country and everyone raved about our food. Holmes has so many different options and they work with you to make sure your menu is exactly what you want. We had 3 different food stations at our wedding and it was absolutely perfect. I hope I get to work with Holmes again soon. Thanks for everything!We had wedding guests travel to SC from all over the country and everyone raved about our food.
