Perfect for our Calhoun Wedding!
Dee and her team were very hospitable and communicative. They helped from start to finish in the planning process. The food was delicious! We received several complements on the mushroom ravioli. The food over all was a hit with our guests. The service was wonderful all around! -

Incredible food!
Dee and her team were so great to work with! Not only was our food delicious, they went out of their way to make sure a loved one with a severe food allergy was able to enjoy their own delicious food safely. The mushroom ravioli was everyone's favorite! -

Fantastic to work with
We just met the crew of Tasteful Gatherings at a wedding this past Saturday, that we were jointly serving. All of their crew were easy to work with, and professional. We seamlessly merged our service efforts, and excelled at meeting the needs our of mutual client. We look forward to working with them again, and will certainly refer new clients to them. -

Incredible food and customer service!
We were really struggling to find a caterer that would work within our budget, and my MOH used Tasteful Gatherings for her own wedding a few years earlier. Everyone had compliments on the food, and Dee was so great to work with! We added a popcorn and hot chocolate station later, and she had great suggestions while keeping our budget in mind. We were so glad that we used them and would recommend them to anyone! -

Phenomenal and Truly the Best of the Best
I cannot say enough amazing things about the Tasteful Gatherings team. I hired Tasteful Gatherings to cater my wedding in Knoxville TN. They were MORE affordable by a long shot even with the travel fee since they were a little farther away. Beyond the awesome price point, the entire staff is so amazing to work with. From beginning to end they all worked hard to make our wedding day perfect. When discussing the menu, they were quick to adapt to exactly what I wanted (simple, good, southern food). Dee and Kim made planning SO easy and answered all of my hairbrained questions. While all of this is enough to warrant a recommendation on their behalf, what sets this team above all others is how they handled my wedding day:
#1: I had a quick swap from ceremony to reception because the two events were in the same room. They came in, set up, and got ready to go THEN helped my family set up for the reception.
#2: When my bartenders were a little late and my coordinator was getting worried, Dee reassured her that she would handle it and CALL IN REINFORCEMENTS to bartend if necessary.
#3: ALL the Tasteful Gatherings team members present at my wedding were friendly, helpful, and hardworking.
Again, I cannot sing their praises enough. If you need an event catered... CALL THEM!

Above and Beyond!
Planning a wedding is not an easy task especially when planning from out of state. We spoke with over 6 catering companies but after speaking with Kim and Dee, we knew right away that Tasteful Gatherings would go above and beyond to make our day special. They listened to every detail and Dee even organized a tasting for 7 members of my family and had our baker present for cake tasting as well. We had a large variety of guests including about 30 children, 25 vegetarian guests with a total of 250 guests. Our passed appetizers, charcuterie table and meal were a highlight. But most importantly, the guests that attended verbalized to my husband and I of how kind all the serving staff was throughout the night. I would 100% recommend Dee and her Tasteful Gatherings team for any catering needs. Thank you for being a part of our day! -

They cranked it to 11
Dee was amazing. Catered the wedding as well as the rehearsal dinner. Her staff and company were awesome and people are still asking me about the chicken casserole. Seriously wanna have a cook off! Her food was amazing and her service was the epitome of southern hospitality. -

Caterer Tasteful Gatherings
Tasteful Gatherings was great to work with as due to the Covid-19 virus the April 2020 wedding was changed to December 2020. This made the whole menu change from family style dinner to plated and the coctail hour from buffet to passed. Also at the last month they were able to plan and execute a reception rather than a rehersal dinner. By the way, all the food was delicious and the service was excellent. Highly recommend this company as very accomadating. -

Great food and better service
Dee and the entire team at Tasteful Gatherings are simply the best. Planning a wedding from out of town- for your sister no less- is not an easy feat and Dee made it wonderful. She worked with me to help set a menu that fit the season, allergies, and the unique feel the bride and groom wanted. When COVID forced the April wedding to move to December, she helped to revamp the entire menu to our family favorites, including using our recipes. All of our guests raved about the food. In addition to tasting amazing, the service was impeccable. When the dance floor was a little sparse, some of her staff even got out to help get the party started!
I also used Tasteful Gatherings to cater a welcome reception/ rehearsal dinner and again, had a wonderful experience. I gave Dee and Kim a vague idea of what I wanted, and they created a menu that tasted amazing. It was dropped off promptly and set up in a very attractive manner. I cannot recommend Tasteful Gatherings enough for any catering needs.

Delicious Food-Epitome of Professional Service
Dee and the Tasteful Gatherings staff made our daughter's large wedding at our family farm a culinary delight! Since the wedding we have received so many compliments on our caterer. Friends and family members asked for the recipe to the strawberry soup and others (accomplished BBQ'ers) said her brisket was the best they ever tasted. All the food was presented beautifully and the taste was like a dinner party in the home of the best cook you know. They pulled off this large event after a rainstorm caused the serving and prep area to become a muddy mess. Never once did that unpleasantness cause any of the servers to complain. Quite the contrary, they actually seemed to be having as much fun as the guests. The catering was one of the largest expenses of the wedding. We believe we received tremendous value for our investment. Dee's professionalism from our first conversation never wavered. She did everything as promised and over-delivered on many things. If you are seeking a professional caterer with a very personal touch choose Tasteful Gatherings. -

Exceptional Service and Quality
Working with Dee and her team was amazing. As a wedding coordinator Tasteful Gathering was everything you can imagine in meeting the needs that you have. We had some last minute changes in our wedding plans, which forced us to secure a caterer within 10 days. Dee and her team took the challenge and delivered. They had a variety of menu options, their menus are vegan and vegetarian friendly. The food was great, and we had plenty of food. They added creativity into their display and were able to help on the spot to add to the cake table decoration. Melissa their on site coordinator was amazing and went above and beyond. Not only did they help keep the food replenish, they also managed the kitchen, and even helped with decoration. Once they arrived to the location my stress level as a coordinator went down, because they knew their stuff, and they came prepared. This was the first time working with them, but if I ever had to do a wedding in that area of Tennessee again, they would be my number one choice. Service was 125% -

Clementson Wedding
Dee and her team were an absolutely joy to work with. Despite my wedding being during peak season, she made time to meet with me several times and iron out just exactly what I was wanting. When it came to the day of, everyone arrived on time and set up very efficiently. The bartender was very friendly and made sure to have drinks ready for both my husband and me whenever we approached. The attention to detail was just perfect. The food was out of this world. I received many compliments on how everything tasted. The food was warm and let me just tell you, I've never seen my husband eat so fast. Pro tip: get the white Alabama sauce! -

Delicious- Good company
My husband and I sure were the bride and groom who sat down and actually made time to eat we were STARVING after a busy day. Food was amazing. Dee is amazing. Created a dinner for our family that was perfect. Great service great food I would recommend them any time. Easy to contact, easy to set up a tasting, easy payment. My only advice- make sure you have a good count of who is coming. We had so many people not show up last second we paid a good $2,000 extra for no-shows. -

Amazing Wedding Food
Dee and the team at Tasteful Gatherings are absolutely amazing and they helped make our wedding everything we could've dreamed! Dee was so quick and responsive and came up with a menu to meet our custom needs within an hour of emailing her. We hired her the same day because she was so organized and professional! When we went to our tasting, our food was incredible and we had an amazing experience the day of our wedding. Our servers were wonderful and made sure we were taken care of all night long. Our servers also cut our cake and made sure we had everything we needed for our coffee bar. It was all and all an amazing night and we definitely recommend Tasteful Gatherings for any event! -

Our Wonderful Dinner!
Tasteful Gatherings provided a WONDERFUL buffet style dinner at our wedding! Everything was so easily planned with Dee! They supplied everything from the food, to drinks, servers, and bartenders. I even requested a hot chocolate bar and she nailed it! The service was wonderful and EVERYONE bragged on how great everything tasted! -

Great food, great service
The Tasteful Gatherings team did a great job. Everyone loved the food and presentation. They worked with my budget without compromising quality. They also did a great job working with dietary restriction and allergies. On wedding day, they made sure that my husband and I got to actually sit down and enjoy our meal. They brought us each a plate, dessert, and kept our drinks full--and that wasn't anything that I was expecting. I highly recommend. -

Once upon a time, I searched and searched for a caterer for my wedding day. I had a small budget but refused to sacrifice taste and style for bland and ordinary. I just could not find a caterer that did something other than dried and simple food for an exorbitant amount. The prices were just outrageous - and for not much food at all and further not very good food. I wanted to offer my guests a menu that was refined and creative - and definitely more than crackers and cheese. After almost a year of searching, a former boss recommended that I contact Tasteful Gatherings, and I am so glad that I did. Their prices were completely reasonable. Their ideas were original, and their suggestions were tailored to my tastes and dreams. They were professional. They even found an exceptional baker for me who made outstanding cakes. They were exactly what I was starting to think didn't exist. The food was delectable. Tasteful Gatherings was instrumental in us having a wonderful reception! If I had to do it over and over again, they are who I would hire every. single. time. They are so good at what they do. Tasteful Gatherings was an answered prayer for me, and I think they can be for you too. -

Really enjoyed the whole experience with this vendor. They let us taste test what we wanted to serve, that really helped us decide to use them, the food tasted great. The presentation was awesome, food tasted great, lots of positive comments from guests. They helped with bar tender, they helped serve cake, they boxed up extra food and cake, they made a separate container of food for bride and groom to take. Dee was great to work with and answered all of our questions. -

Our guests commented that this was the best wedding food they'd had! The caterer was super helpful every step of the way. My only (small) complaint is that we should have been more specific regarding the cocktail hour - several guests felt the appetizers were taken away too quickly... They loved them and wanted more! Also we should have requested some water be left after the caterers packed up. Our guests were dancing the night away without any hydration. I consider this our failure in requesting this ahead of time. -

Tasteful Gatherings was definitely one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning. Not only was our food delicious but the display's were beautiful! The staff went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was beautifully crafted and that we were taken care of on our big day. When the day was over we took home a full bag of food which was fantastic on the ride to our honeymoon. Tasteful Gatherings is now my go to for any and all catering needs my family and I have. -

Great catering company! We specifically chose them for their ability to have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options for our guests. They made an amazing vegetarian chili to go along with our baked potato bar! -

The food was good. However, the vendor stated we would be allowed to take home leftovers, but they sent nothing home with us (except a small plate for bride and groom) even though most of the bridal party and immediate family didn't get any of the appetizer portion of the meal and the total number of guests was lower than what we paid for. Also they did not communicate with the bride or mother of the bride (their client) at any point during the reception to make sure we were happy and left without speaking to us. -
