    Best food ever

    Townsend was the difference maker that put our wedding over the top! Their food was out of this world, every wedding guest was raving about it! The staff is so friendly, Donna and team were a dream to work with. They helped us navigate moving our wedding date and never blinked an eye. I cannot recommend them enough - if you have your wedding on 30A you NEED to have Townsend for your catering/rentals!!

    Delicious and Accommodating!

    Townsend Catering did a wonderful job catering our June 2021 wedding. They did passed hors d'oeuvres, plated dinner, and bar services. They worked within dietary needs very well, our vegan and gluten free guests were happy with their options. The wait staff was professional and timely. We felt very well taken care of the entire evening. Townsend was prompt in responding as we worked to finalize the menu and meet all our requests. 100% worth it for delicious, healthy food that impressed all our guests. The fish course was garnished with a surprise of beautiful edible flowers that were a show stopper. We are so happy we picked Townsend Catering.

    Townsend Catering Company's reply:

    Thanks Maddie, we loved catering for you and your family!!
    It was such a beautiful wedding and we were honored to be a part of such a special occasion. Best wishes from the Townsend Catering Team!

    Such a great experience!

    Townsend Catering did an incredible job with our rehearsal dinner in Miramar beach. We booked a house for our wedding that would hold all of our guests and Townsend catering came and set everything up and created the perfect evening for us right where we were staying. They brought tables, linens, and everything that we needed to have a stress free night. We worked with Sherri and she just went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect! The food was so amazing!! The beef tenderloin practically melted in your mouth and I literally could eat the mashed potatoes with a shovel. SO DELICIOUS!! This team was top notch and every single person that was working was incredibly kind, congratulating us and making us feel so special. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and can't recommend Townsend Catering enough!

    Donna and her staff went above and beyond to make the food and drink at both our welcome party and wedding reception immaculate. Their food is not only beautiful, but it is so so delicious. The tasting we attended while planning our menu was definitely the highlight of all of our wedding planning. Everyone I came into contact with was courteous and friendly. We would not change a thing. Look no further for a top notch company for catering any event!

    I had been referred to Townsend through a customer, who was also a destination bride. She gave me glowing reviews about Donna and her team. I had pretty high expectations and they were all met. Not at all your typical wedding food. Everything was tasty as well as beautifully presented! We also had a raw bar, and the oysters were PERFECTLY shucked!!! Everyone was blown away. We also used Townsend for bar services. I sent drink recipes and they were executed perfectly.
    Not to mention weather on my wedding day was not the greatest, so they ended up having to move ALL of the setup outside to inside during the ceremony! You would have thought that we had always planned it that way. It was set up so beautifully. I cannot thank Donna and the whole Townsend Catering crew enough!!!

    Absolutely delicious!

    Townsend Catering is hands done the BEST catering company in the Santa Rosa Beach area! They go above and beyond with their food! The presentation is always gorgeous and the flavor is phenomenal!! During our tasting for our wedding, it was so hard to pick what we wanted on our menu because everything was just that good! They even offered to make us our own signature drink for the wedding! The people were great to work with and wanted to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Our wedding guests even raved about the food!!

    We were married in Rosemary Beach on 3/3/18...and I am STILL getting texts and phone calls about how great our food was. Like any bride and groom we probably ate the least out of everyone but we got a bunch of the leftovers delivered to our suite that night and it was still so delicious the next day! If you want to WOW your guests you have to have Townsend cater, they are top notch and so delightful to work with. Their bar services are also amazing and make it so much easier than trying to guess how much liquor/beer/wine you need to buy in advance. I am forever grateful to Townsend, now I just want to go back to another event in the area to enjoy their awesome food!

    I absolutely cannot recommend Townsend Catering Company enough! They are INCREDIBLE. You can tell that they are truly passionate about what they do, and it shows in everything from the friendly, attentive service to the impeccable food. Our menu was executed perfectly, and many of our guests said that the food was some of the best they had ever had - not at a wedding, just in life. It's really that good.

    Our event was a rehearsal dinner Low Country Shrimp Boil on the beach for 180 guests. Donna and team were completely set up and 1 hour before show time, a dangerous storm blew in. They packed up the food and the bar and we moved to a home nearby. If I could give Townsend Catering 10 stars in each category, I would. My advice, if you want to use this excellent caterer, book early!

    Our daughters wedding was on the Eastern Green in Rosemary Beach, Florida, March 25, 2017. We chose Townsend Catering for the Reception and also for our "Come & Go" Party, we hosted for our arriving guests on Friday afternoon. We were so impressed with Donna Townsend / her staff, and the incredible food that was prepared for both events! Our guests have repeatedly told us over and over, how incredibly delicious the food was for the entire weekend!!
    If you are considering a wedding/event in the Panhandle area, you would be making a very wise decision to choose Townsend Catering. You will not be disappointed with the excellent attention to display/detail and the extensive list of food items they offer!! Thank you, Donna- it was so much more than we ever dreamed for Jaime's fairytale wedding!!

    AMAZING! From the start, there were so many food options to choose from i thought where to even begin. The whole staff helped me in picking out the perfect menu for our wedding. All of our guests have commented on the fact that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. From the sushi station with bento boxes all the way to the late night pancakes everything was better than i could have imagined! Our specialty cocktail created by them was also a huge hit! Highly recommend!

    Hands down the BEST catering you will find on the Emerald Coast for your wedding. Not only is their food divine, their customer service and level of professionalism is out of this world. Don't bother with the others, choose Townsend!

    These folks are so professional and their food is outstanding.
    Sherri and Marcus did a fabulous job the night of the rehearsal dinner. I didn't have to do a thing because they did it all.
    I would recommend this catering company to everyone that is looking for great food, great service and great pricing!!!

    BOOK THIS CATERER!!! My primary concern with our wedding was avoiding "wedding food," which is notoriously bland and disappointing. Townsend was anything but! The food was phenomenal, and almost a year later, we still have guests telling us that it was hands down the best food they've ever had at a wedding. They also boxed all our leftovers up, and we got to enjoy them further at our after party! Sherri made sure we got appetizers right after the ceremony so we could fuel up for our pictures. Using Townsend was one of the best choices I made for our wedding, and I highly recommend them to everyone!!

    When a friend who is a chef attends your wedding and raves about the food, you know it's something exceptional. Donna and her team were so creative, organized, and wonderful to work with. Definitely the best caterer in the area, bar none. They worked with us to create perfect hors d'oeuvres for our cocktail hour and a perfect and complimentary menu for the seated reception. I would recommend to ANYONE who needs catering for any event on 30A, and I know we will definitely be using them again when we have something come up!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with the Townsend team. We were married August 15 at Town Hall and our guests are still talking about the food! Donna and the entire team were the ultimate professionals from the moment we booked them last November. Despite being very busy all of the team with other weddings and events, they always are responsive, and you feel as if you are their priority. We had passed appetizers (the chicken, spinach, and brie quesadillas- oh my goodness!!), and stations for dinner. All of the food was amazing- but our favorites were the fried chicken martinis and the grouper fingers with shoestring fries. Book Townsend and you won't have to worry- everything they do is perfection- and they are super flexible and worked with our budget and logistics to ensure we had a very special day! Thank you Donna and team! - Ashley and Blake Chambers

    Planning a wedding is tough enough. Planning a destination wedding is even more tough. Thanks to Townsend Catering: Donna and Sherri the entire experience was extremely easy and fun! Yes I said it...FUN!! We held our wedding at the Destin Bay House and they really understood what we wanted for our wedding and offered great suggestions. We ended up doing a seated dinner style and OMG the food was BEYOND DELICIOUS!! They made the perfect suggestions and pairings for this hot summer July wedding. Our guests were so impressed by how professional and

    Our wedding coordinator recommended Townsend Catering Company for our wedding in May 2015. We met with the Townsend team about 6 months prior to our event to choose our menu and we were blown away by what we had the opportunity to choose from (everything looked so delicious)!! The team helped us choose based on our likes/dislikes/budget, etc. We walked away so happy with our choices and couldn't wait for the big day. We were able to stay in touch with them very easily in the months leading up to our event, so that we could finalize our number of guests. On the day of our event, Townsend Catering Company exceeded all of our expectations. The food was beyond delicious and it was even set up beautifully at our reception. Our friends and family are STILL talking about the shrimp and grits table and it has been almost 6 months since our wedding! The Townsend team made sure that my husband and I had food from all of our food stations at our special table and that we took time to ourselves during the reception to actually enjoy our meal. They even had leftovers packed up and waiting for us in our honeymoon suite!! We would recommend Townsend Catering Company to any of our friends/family in the future!!

    We were very happy with our experience with Townsend Catering. The food was incredible but still fit within our budget. I was an out-of-town bride so had limited opportunities to meet with vendors. When we did the tasting, I was very much at ease with our decision to go with Townsend. The food we tried was fantastic and they had so many options that allowed us to stay well within our budget. Donna was very flexible - I threw a lot of last minute questions and requests at her and the team definitely delivered! I would absolutely recommend Townsend Catering to anyone looking for a great caterer in the Destin/PCB area. Plus we got so many compliments from our guests on the quality and variety of food!
