    Great and easy food process!

    We loved having Rosa's cater our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Dinner! The staff was so nice and so attentive. I would recommend them to anyone looking to have affordable, but amazing quality catering!

    Amazing caterer for rehearsal dinner

    We chose Rosa’s Catering for our rehearsal dinner on a Sunday evening in April in Gatlinburg. The food was absolutely fantastic (we ordered BBQ) and it was such a pleasant surprise seeing the owners of the company there delivering the food and helping to set up. That really underscores Rosa’s dedication to providing excellent service. We highly recommend them. Thank you so much! -Fran and Doug Floyd

    Attentive, intentional, and LGBTQ+ friendly caterer

    Rosa's Catering was great to work with. They were so supportive of us choosing a menu we, as the couple, really wanted and encouraged us to not be too swayed by what our guests may/may not have wanted. We changed our minds about a million times about what menu we wanted for our wedding day and they were so understanding and flexible! They also worked incredibly well with food allergies/restrictions for our guests. Their whole team was so attentive and supportive of us as the couple the entire night. They even supplied cutlery and plates for our cake, even though we purchased it through another vendor. They were organized and the food was great. We are an LGBTQ+ couple and felt really supported by this team at every turn.

    Rosa's Catering Service's reply:

    It was an honor to be apart of your special day! Thank you so much for choosing us! You were so sweet to work with.

    Guests were raving

    Rosa’s is so delicious, my guests wouldn’t stop talking about it. Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of the food. We got hot artichoke dip that people talked about all night. Bacon wrapped scallops that were so delicious. Chicken and salmon and veggies for dinner. It was incredible. When you’re from out of town, you really don’t know what you’re going to get from a catering vendor, but trust me, you won’t go wrong with Rosa’s. Their options are extensive and nothing short of delicious. Your guests will love you for getting the best caterer in the Knoxville area.

    Excellent Food and Service! Gluten free friendly

    We used Rosas for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding, and the food was delicious. Ginger was highly responsive and very patient with all of the changes we made to the menu leading up the event. I have Celiac Disease, and was very concerned about making sure everything was truly gluten free. I was so happy with how knowledgeable their team was and felt confident going into the wedding weekend there would be no issues! The food at both events was delicious ( and 100% gluten free :)) I am grateful to their team for a truly great, and customized experience!

    Thank you so much! It was a pleasure! You made it so easy and it was such an honor to be part of your special day!

    Rosa's Catering is the best for the cost in Knoxville!

    Rosa's was all around wonderful! I was able to attend their free open house prior to my wedding to try the food. It really helped me choose the menu for my wedding without having to arrange a tasting. Additionally, Ginger was able to help me with changes, additions, and questions throughout the planning process. She was so amazing to work with! On wedding day, the servers were attentive, with swift and excellent service. I barely knew they were there. We choose the spinach strawberry salad, mushroom ravioli, chicken fresco, red mashed pots, and mixed grilled veggies. My guests raved about how tasty everything was! You won't go wrong with hiring Rosa's for your big day!

    Exactly what we wanted

    We chose there station option. We did the sliders and street tacos and they did not disappoint. We also had dips and salads for our cocktail hour. Our guest loved that they were customizable and they could have mix between the slides and tacos and have multiple. The flavors were amazing and weeks later we still have guests talk about how good they were and how fun it was.

    Delicious!

    As a destination bride that couldn't make a trip for a tasting, I was a bit nervous hiring a caterer. Rosa's came highly recommended by our venue and all of our other vendors, and we are SO glad we did! Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS. Thank you so much for making our day wonderful!

    Excellent service and food

    Rosa’s team is amazing. They responded to my questions extremely quickly and were so helpful from day 1. They were very flexible when I wanted to add things to our menu. Not only were they great to work with while planning, the food was so good. We had so many of our guests compliment the food. We had the perfect amount of food and everything was delicious. I highly recommend them for all our wedding needs!

    Plated wedding dinner

    We hired Rosa's for our wedding dinner on 06/05/2021. We had a plated dinner, and Rosa's did a great job! They were very flexible working with the space we had available for the dinner prep, and every course came out on time. Our guests loved the food! We had plated and passed apps, as well as dinner. The apps were yummy and the servers did a great job getting the food around to everyone. The mini chicken and waffles were a huge hit! They did a good job clearing plates, and making sure my guests had everything they needed. I would highly recommend Rosa's to anyone!

    Hands Down The Best!

    Ginger and team at Rosa's Catering were absolutely amazing to work. We were in constant communication from start to finish and they were extremely helpful with any changes that needed to be made. The food was delicious!!! We had passed hor d'oeuvres during cocktail hour and a buffet style dinner. Setup was beautiful and our guests couldn't stop talking about the food! We are so thankful to Rosa's for providing professional and exceptional service for our wedding.

    Great Service and Food

    My husband and I chose Rosa’s Catering for our Pigeon Forge wedding in May 2020. Due to the pandemic, we were forced to move our wedding to May 2021. Rosa’s was awesome during this time and were flexible as we tried to find a new date that worked with all of our vendors. I dealt with Ginger and Lexie throughout this process and both were a pleasure to work with!
    On our wedding day, Rosa’s was awesome! They arrived on time, set up a beautiful buffet, and prepared appetizer and dinner plates for my husband and me (at our wedding planner’s request) so we could eat during our reception! The servers were very professional and handled the entire appetizer and dinner hours perfectly.
    And how was the food? Everything was delicious! I had multiple guests comment on the quality of the food and how good everything tasted after the wedding. Rosa’s even boxed up leftovers so we didn’t have to throw away any extra food! I would recommend Rosa’s for any catered event, their service and food won’t disappoint!

    We would love to work with Rosa’s Catering again for an event in the future! They were easy to work with and quick to respond to questions. The food was delicious and we got so many compliments from our wedding guest about how great the food was. They also boxed up all the leftovers up nicely for us to take home at the end of the night!

    Excellent Food and Service

    If you are looking to cater an event, look no further than Rosa's!
    I found Rosa's online when I was looking for a caterer for my wedding. They have been absolutely amazing! Communication is strong and their responses are always timely. I must have asked a thousand questions and they patiently answered every single one.
    The staff that worked the wedding were so kind and professional. By the end of the night, it felt like they were part of the family! I appreciate everything they did to really make the night special and run smoothly.
    And don't let me forget the food! It was so, so, so delicious! I was so happy with everything we ordered and the quality of the products. Definitely reasonably priced and beautifully displayed.

    Thank you so much! It was an honor to cater your reception! We really enjoyed working with you and your guests were a delight to take care of. Have a wonderful life together.

    Professional and Easy

    Rosa’s is the epitome of professionalism. Ginger and her crew are a dream to work with - for our wedding, they brought us in and let us try literally everything, and we honestly had a really difficult time narrowing down what we wanted that night! They were great about updating our estimates as our headcounts fluctuated, they helped us set aside special plates for our guests with dietary restrictions, and they were always happy to talk through anything during the planning process and immediately follow up with emails as well. We were really excited for our guests to try the citrus chicken and the mushroom ravioli we picked, and as we made our way around each table EVERYONE was telling us how good the food was. We were also ecstatic that we got some big to-go boxes, because of course, we didn’t eat a lot day-of, so we were able to enjoy the meal all over again with our friends the following night.

    Choosing - and then communicating with - vendors for a wedding can be intimidating and difficult. But working with Rosa’s, we knew we’d be taken care of, that they’d be reliable, and that the results would be fantastic. As an events coordinator, I’ve worked with Rosa’s before and always chose them for those exact reasons, and after our wedding I’d continue to choose them again and again for any catering I’d ever need. Highly recommend.

    Amazing, fresh food!

    We decided on Rosas catering after months of negotiations with caterers. We wanted a fresh and formal “farm to table” style buffet, in a price we could afford. Rosa’s was our knight in shining armor. They came through with the fresh menu we wanted in a price we could afford. The day of presentation was more beautiful then I expected and the day of catering manager - Shannon was wonderful. She plated our food for us so we didn’t have to go through the buffet line, and checked to see if we wanted seconds of anything.
    They even cut our cake for us without a cake cutting fee (you won’t find that with any other caterer). Did I mention the food was delicious?! You HAVE to try to florentine stuffed potatoes. We were very happy with rosas catering!

    Great Food and Great Service

    Rosa’s went above and beyond to make sure our guests were happy and fed on time. They worked with me to ensure we would have enough food and that the schedule made sense for our day. They also made sure that my new husband and I got to taste everything (even the hors d'oeuvres we missed) when we arrived at our table. Thank you to Rosa’s staff for making sure everyone was taken care of so I could enjoy the day.

    Food was delicious!

    I don't think I've ever had such good food at a wedding before!! We had appetizers during cocktail hour that included crap cakes, glazed chicken skewers and italian meatballs. For dinner we had food stations that included a burger and bbq station, pasta station and soup station. Everyone loved the food!!
