    Every bite is delicious

    Roots catered our wedding through Beau Monde at The Collector’s Room and it was absolutely delicious. The process and overall experience with Roots was great. They took our feedback from the tasting seriously and made sure our menu was exactly what we wanted including honoring pricing from when we booked vs their updated pricing as the months went on. The passed apps were a major highlight and the food stations were each delicious and our guests loved everything. My wife will only continue to lament at how she only ate 1.5 of the deviled eggs during cocktail hour and will always want more. Pistachio macarons were my favorite.

    Excellent! Highly recommend

    ROOTS was recommended to us by our venue and I am so glad it was, everything was exceptional. The food was delicious, their brisket is out of this world. The display for our cocktail hour was beautiful and all the appetizers so yummy. Our buffet line moved quickly and the servers were on top of water refills and clean up, which all the guest appreciated. When we originally booked ROOTS we were working with Olivia who eventually transitioned into a new position and Alyssa then became our new contact. Both ladies were wonderful and extremely helpful with questions and recommendations. I even reached out to Alyssa the morning of the wedding to add coffee and she instantly responded and was able to add it on no problem. If you want your wedding day or any event to go perfectly I highly recommend choosing ROOTS.

    Best wedding Food Ever

    Roots catered our wedding. I was so impressed by the quality of the food they provided (my bridesmaid turned to me before we walked out to be announced and said "oh my god, did you have some of the crab cakes? They were so good! It was all so good!"). I was also impressed with the professionalism that everyone gave, from coordinating the wedding food to the application of our special drink. I have told my husband many times that I wish we could be invited to a wedding catered by Roots so I could just sit back, relax, and enjoy all the delicious food without some of the stress that comes from it being your wedding! You are making a mistake if you don't book Roots for your next event if you have the chance.

    Fantastic Wedding Catering

    Roots was absolute class for our wedding and Alyssa was amazing with her help throughout the entire process. The food was fantastic all-around, all of our guests spoke highly of how much they enjoyed it. Bar service was also top-notch. Alyssa and her team did a fantastic job, I cannot recommend Roots enough.

    amazing food, amazing staff!

    I cannot say enough good things about working with Roots for our wedding. From the first contact, Olivia was incredible. She was accommodating, helped us talk through all of our menu options, and was extremely flexible and willing to help us make all the changes we needed up until a few weeks before the wedding. All of our guests raved about how good the food was and the attention to detail that Roots puts into setting up their food stations was so appreciated. It flowed so well with all our other decor. Also, the bartenders were incredible. Within an hour, they knew guests drink orders and were so friendly and efficient with serving all of our guests. Absolutely hire Roots for your wedding, it was one of the best decisions we made!!

    We couldn't be more thrilled to hear of your exceptional experience with Roots & our team! We loved working alongside you & Nick to bring your vision to life! Congrats to you both!!

    The food was only the beginning....

    The food was terrific with many compliments paid, could not have been better! The staff communicated important details and were punctual and professional. The food was only the start of our positive experience. Covid-19 forced difficult decisions and we had to downsize our gathering substantially. Roots not only refunded in full the excess moneys paid, but did so with a smile. These folks were a breath of fresh air in an otherwise trying situation. Bravo Roots! We'll be back!

    Roots Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a joy to be apart of Katherine & Alex's celebration. We're looking forward to the next opportunity to serve you!

    Outstanding!!

    The food was excellent, however the potato dish was cold. The staff was AMAZING. Super nice people and easy to work with. The only thing for improvement was to have a steak knife to cut our steak instead of a butter knife. And the appetizer was fantastic.

    Roots Catering's reply:

    It was such a pleasure serving you, Alex & your family & friends! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the food & service. We appreciate your feedback as well. Wishing you all the best & we look forward to the next opportunity to serve you all!

    Great Experience

    Roots catering was a pleasure to work with and was able to accommodate our requests in regards to food allergies as well as sourcing some things locally.

    Olivia was very pleasant to communicate with and I would highly recommend them to anyone catering an event.

    Roots catering was professional, easy to work with, flexible when it came to choosing what we wanted, and most importantly- delicious!

    Unparalleled quality and professionalism

    Roots catered our wedding and WOW, I cannot give them enough praise. In my past experience, even "good" caterers' food still has that "catered banquet food" taste, but that was not the case with Roots. They made us a custom menu (!!!) that rivaled anything I would order at a high-end restaurant. Roots is such a fun and flexible vendor. I literally went to them and said, "let's come up with an eclectic, fun menu that guests won't forget", and they definitely delivered. The taste and presentation were beautiful, and our guests have been raving non-stop about how this was the best wedding food they have ever had. Considering the level of quality of this caterer, Roots is an incredible value.

    Thanks so much for your kind feedback, Rachel! We were so honored to be a part of your celebration & look forward to the next opportunity we have to serve you!

    Our guests can't stop talking about the food!!

    Hiring Roots was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Olivia made the coordination and decision making super simple and was in communication with us and our planner the whole time. There are so many details that we never would have thought of without her. She was also really flexible as we added/removed things and had questions. One thing we liked about Roots was the ability to provide the beer/wine ourselves which saved us a bunch of money. They were really easygoing about it and helped us figure out how much to buy. We did our menu tasting at their restaurant and were blown away by the quality of the food. We were slightly nervous about how that would translate with the travel time and catering services but everything was perfect. All of our guests keep mentioning how good their meals were and how it was some of the best food they've had at a wedding! The bartenders, servers, and staff were very professional and coordinated with our planner to ensure we had our meals first. They kept our glasses filled and saved us a plate of our hors d'oeuvres since we missed the cocktail hour. I am so impressed with Roots and would highly recommend them to anyone!

    Roots Catering's reply:

    Emily, we love to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Roots through & through! You & David have been such a dream to work with & we are so thrilled to know you & your guests had an incredible time! We're so excited for the next opportunity to serve you!

    We were so please with Roots. The entire process from tasting, to booking, to the day of the event went incredibly smooth.

    Great Food and Drinks

    Best wedding caterer ever!

    Roots was absolutely incredible to work with. We worked with Olivia and she paid attention to detail from start to finish, which was especially difficult during COVID with date changes. Olivia recommended delicious items and then helped us narrow down our menu to meet our budget. She was professional, organized, and so easy to work with. We had an awesome time at our tasting, too!! I know I'm biased since it was my wedding, but it was hands down the best wedding food I ever had. Everything was restaurant quality and so delicious. I wish I could rewind time and do it all again!! Roots has really creative options if you want to do something outside the box (we had paella, chicken and waffles, and an indian chicken curry dish) but they also have more traditional options too. Our guests loved the interactive food stations. The presentation of everything was also beautiful. Roots also bartended at our event and the bartenders and servers were SO NICE. They were so attentive to me as the bride and to all the guests. Couldn't recommend them enough. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!!

    Roots Catering's reply:

    It was such a joy to work with you & Nick! It was a beautiful day & we couldn't have been more honored to help you celebrate. We're so thrilled you enjoyed every aspect of your special day. Cheers to you both!

    Yummy seasonal Italian inspired menu

    I love everything Roots does from beautiful tablescapes (with vintage looking gold accented plates sourced from their partner and gold flatware) to locally sourced vegetables. They worked with us to design a menu that gave options with our dietary restrictions (vegetarian and lactose intolerant), and in line with our Italian-inspired wedding theme. They were also flexible to allow us to eat outdoors for our tasting for covid safety back in January. We were really delighted with everything, especially the support of Olivia, the special events manager.

    Fantastic Experience!

    We had the best experience with ROOTS for our wedding day! Olivia was our event manager, and she was extremely professional, flexible, and responsive throughout the entire process. She helped us navigate many changes when we postponed our wedding due to COVID. She also helped us with linen/flatware/china rentals and everything looked fantastic! Our guests raved about the food and our signature cocktails! The rest of the staff was wonderful - our bartender was very well-liked by our guests!

    We have recommended ROOTS to all of our friends who are planning weddings and would hire them again!

    Perfect microwedding catering!

    Roots was the perfect addition to our microwedding lunch reception! The team set up the COVID-conscious buffet spread on our outdoor patio safely and quickly so everyone could dig in as soon as we finished taking photos. Every single guest raved about the food, from the smoked salmon appetizer bites to the refreshing herbed chicken and grouper entrees. The lavender lemonade was also amazing! We couldn't be happier with their service and highly recommend them to anyone in the Charlotte area looking to plan an intimate and safe celebration during these uncertain times.

    Roots Catering's reply:

    Alena, we are beyond thrilled that you enjoyed your experience with Roots! We can't wait to be a part of your next gathering!
