    Love Sassool

    We had Sassool cater for our wedding recently and it was a great experience. They were very helpful throughout the process of picking out the menu and managing the food service on the day of wedding. Everything arrived on time and everyone enjoyed the food. We had a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters and had great options to cover everyone. Would highly recommend Sassoon for catering.

    Everything exceeded expectations

    The Sasool team did a fantastic job catering our wedding. From the communication with the catering managers to the customization of the menu to the service on the big day, everything was outstanding.

    We received so many comments from our guests with regards to the freshness and presentation of the food as well as how delicious it all was.

    The catering team did a great job helping with everything and I would highly recommend them for anyone who wants a stress-free and delicious catering experience.

    Amazing food, friendly service, budget friendly

    I'm so thankful we chose Sassool to cater our wedding. We had a very strict budget for our wedding and it can be hard to find really good food without breaking the bank. Sassool's food was perfectly in our budget and tastes so amazing! All our guests loved it! Simone was so friendly and my wife and I had such a fun time with the tasting!
    I would definately recommend Sassool for wedding catering!

    Wedding Catering

    Sassool catered our wedding this October and it was amazing! Simone and team were super helpful in the menu development process and were super knowledgeable / provided insight to our wedding catering timeline. The food was absolutely delicious, our guests loved it, and it was a super favorable price.

    Additionally, we were able to hire bartenders directly through Sassool. Overall, we had a 10/10 experience and would highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding.

    Delicious food and reliable staff!

    We absolutely loved working with Simone and the Sassool team! They made amazing food at a reasonable price, provided great staff to serve our guests, and they coordinated our linens and dinnerware for us. Sassool is tasty and reliable- exactly what we wanted for our wedding caterer! We got lots of compliments from guests on the food. We would highly recommend Sassool to anyone in the triangle.

    Highly Recommend!

    Sassool was incredible and far exceeded our expectations. Our original caterers unfortunately fell through literally the week before our wedding. Sassool came to our rescue and set up a tasting for us within a day of us reaching out to them. Simone, Esteban, and the entire team were very flexible, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Communication was great and timely throughout the entire process! We were also so impressed by the taste, quantity, and beautiful display of the food too! Everything they served was delicious, and we are still getting rave reviews about their food from our guests weeks later. We genuinely appreciate their service and quality, and we would recommend using them over and over again!

    Hire them to cater your wedding!

    We originally looked at another restaurant to cater our wedding, but thankfully our venue (Beth and Tony Pendola at Old Lystra Inn) recommended working with Simone and her team at Sassool. Absolutely money and time well spent!

    Simone was responsive, organized, and her team was absolutely fantastic on the day of the wedding. Going with Sassool also saved us a ton of effort because they bring a lot of their own supplies (table linens, chafing dishes, etc) and they were able to help us out with bartending and cake serving on top of that. The most important element, the food, received a huge host of compliments, including one guest promising us it was the best food he'd ever had at a wedding. The options you have to choose from for the menu are a wonderful mix of healthy and delicious, not to mention fresh. Stop looking for a caterer and hire them!

    Sassool is simply the BEST!

    I have been a faithful Sassool customer for years, but my (now) husband first experienced the delicious food at our tasting for our wedding catering. The uploaded picture is the FEAST we were presented with to try! From the moment we met Simone to after the wedding, she has been nothing but extremely helpful, kind, and responsive. The catering team was so incredibly sweet and very professional. Our guests have continued to rave about the food and we hope we’ve garnered more loyal customers for them. The best choice you could make for yourself and your wedding is to hire Sassool to cater! The price is more than fair and you will take home all of your leftovers.

    Fantastic food and service!

    We hired Sassool to cater our 120-person one-year anniversary party, which was essentially like a wedding reception since the original wedding was small due to the pandemic. The quality of the food was absolutely phenomenal. Our guests raved about it! And the staff was incredibly nice, approachable, and professional. They are also an incredible value. We are happy to give Sassool our highest recommendation!

    Sassool Did An Exceptional Job Catering Our Wedding

    I hired Sassool to cater the wedding reception we had at our home for around 50 people. They did an amazing job. They arrived on time with the food and it was exceptional. The items were presented very professionally. The servers they provided were very personable, professional, and courteous. And at the end of the evening, they cleaned up everything and boxed the leftover food. I didn't have to do anything. I would highly recommend them to cater your event. I am 100 percent satisfied with them, and they went above and beyond to help make the evening special.

    Great response time. No hiccups. Lovely staff.

    Sassool was a lot of help from the very beginning. They are very responsive via email and answered ALL of my questions. They worked well with my wedding planner and we were able to relax during the wedding with no issues. The food was SO delicious! Many of our guests raved about the lamb shawarma, tzatziki, and lentils (with caramelized onions mmm).

    Perfect wedding fare

    My now-husband and I love Sassool, so we were thrilled when we found out we could have our favorite date night food at our wedding! The catering experience is absolutely the same top-notch quality as visiting the restaurant. Sassool had fabulous variety for us to choose from without being overwhelming, and we got so many compliments on the meal. Coordinator Simone was responsive, flexible, and so kind as we worked out details. She and her staff expertly navigated our out-of-town venue and everything was delicious!! We couldn’t have asked for a better caterer!

    Great food, even better service

    Sassool did a fantastic job catering my wedding. Simone was super responsive from the beginning and was very helpful in determining the menu and accommodating our late changes and special requests. Many of our guests commented on how good the food was and overall service. Would definitely recommend.

    Friendly, responsive, and easy to work with

    Working with Simone was super easy! She and her staff were very friendly and open to accommodating our needs and requests. They were super responsive to our emails and phone calls. We loved how many vegan and vegetarian options Sassool had to offer, even those who weren't vegan loved the vegan options! Everyone at our vow renewal kept commenting on the delicious food which made our day extra special. For the amount and variety of food we received (as well as the excellent service staff the day of) the price was fair and well worth it. We would definitely recommend them for anyone else looking for a good caterer for their event.

    Stellar Service AND Food

    Simone was incredible to work with. She is so knowledgeable about the logistics of catering needs--she was seriously a huge help. Our wedding was at a public park (not a traditional wedding venue) but she was super flexible and knew what questions to ask to make it work. She works with a very affordable rental company for tableware rentals and the table settings looked beautiful. Her staff took care of EVERYTHING food/table/glassware related. We had a self-serve bar but I really didn't want to use disposable cups because I didn't want a lot of waste. Her staff made sure we had enough glassware throughout the night. The cut and served the cake our friend made, and they also brought me and my husband dinner and drinks to our table after our ceremony. According to our wedding coordinator, they were a dream to work with. Not to mention the food was AMAZING! Better than I even remembered it being during our tasting. One of our guests said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding! Thank you!

    Amazing Wedding Catering Expereince by Sassool!

    Sassool did a spectacular job catering for our wedding celebration/vow renewal at Chatham Station! My husband and I loved every step of the process with working with Simone and her team to arrange the details for our special big day. The tasting was so much fun and allowed us to really create really unique appetizer and main meal options. Everyone was blown away from all the delicious foods Sassool catered - us included! It was so delicious. My family is part Lebanese, so not only did Sassool get raving reviews from my family members, but they now can't wait to visit NC and go to Sassool's restaurant for more kibbeh, grapeleaves, and everything else! The bartending services were awesome, as well. My husband and I can't say enough amazing things about them! We highly recommend having them be a part of your wedding! :)

    Wonderful food with tons of flavor!

    Sassool did a wonderful job catering my wedding. Their food, professionalism, and quality of service were excellent. The whole experience, from our initial consultation up until the moment we collected the leftover food they had so carefully packaged for us, was a breeze. I still have guests telling me how much they loved the baklava! I would highly recommend them.

    Outstanding food and service!!

    Sassool provided truly outstanding food and service. Simone went above and beyond to help us select the perfect menu, reschedule when we postponed the wedding, and cart alcohol for storage before the wedding.

    At the reception, everything went so smoothly. The professionalism and attentiveness of the staff were excellent. Empty glasses were whisked away; guests seamlessly received cake after the cake cutting. The bartender was so efficient and friendly; there was never a long line of people waiting. As the bride, I didn't need to worry about anything--I just vaguely noticed how clean the tables were and how guests were happy and fed quickly as I ran around to talk to everyone. That indicates how high the level of service was.

    Finally, guests LOVED the food. I overheard two different guests raving about how the falafel was the best they had ever had. One friend confessed they had eaten three baklavas...knowing cake was to come, too. The spanakopita, roasted vegetables, chicken kabobs--all immense hits! Everything was so delicious! Moreover, all the food, amenities, and high-quality service provided came at an affordable cost.

    Sassool was one of the best choices I made for vendors. I recommend all Chapel Hill/Cary/Raleigh couples to use them for their catering needs! Talk to Simone to benefit from her kindness, professionalism, and catering expertise, and to enjoy Sassool's amazing food.

    Great Wedding

    Simone was very responsive to all my emails. We chose Sassool due to their healthy food and reasonableness on the price. All our guests like the food. We had 3 main courses, 3 salads, 2 sides and a dessert. They also moved furniture for us. The set up was quick and they even cleaned up afterwards. It was an awesome wedding and guests had a good time. Thanks to Simone and her staff for making this very memorable.
