Highly recommend! We hired them for our wedding in Chattanooga. *Absolutely delicious food!* We chose them for the food, but also the full staff service they offered. They were a 1-stop shop to get everything we needed. Bruschetta chicken and macaroni & cheese were our guests' favorites!

FANTASTIC! Our guests are still talking about how good the food was at our wedding! So easy to work with. Highly recommend!

From our initial contact with Apron Strings, we had a great experience. They were very responsive to what we wanted, and created a bountiful, delicious, and unique spread for our autumn luncheon food stations reception. The cost was reasonable, and everyone raved about the delicious food!

We used Apron Strings for our November 20th wedding and we are so glad we did! Our guests raved about Apron Strings- from the food to the bar staff to the servers. They were a hit! One of the best things about working with Apron Strings was their transparency from the start. We interviewed three caterers for our wedding and the others seemed hesitant to name a price or let us taste their food. From the outset, Charisse sent over menu options and set up a tasting with us. We felt that they were totally confident in what they do and it made us confident to book with them! From the time of booking, the process remained super easy. We even had a few special requests as the wedding day drew near and Charisse was able to honor each one. She also made recommendations for who to use for other services such as linen rental. She seems to know a lot of people in the business and will connect you with great folks. Kristen and the bar staff were another highlight of our day. Several guests recounted to us how fun they were. We definitely wanted our wedding to feel relaxed and not stuffy and the bartenders set that tone. Lastly, the staff was just plain KIND. They were truly there to serve and went above and beyond. In fact, I didn't even notice them clearing tables. I just looked around and suddenly it was clean. They are like catering ninjas. I am sure it was a ton of work for them but they certainly never let us see them sweat. I cannot recommend the Apron Strings team highly enough!

Apron Strings Catering was great! The food was amazing and their display was beautiful. Everyone said the food was delicious! They were super easy to communicate with, always! Their price was the most reasonable for everything they included. Would definitely recommend!

Catering was one element of my wedding that didn't come together easily. I spoke to several vendors that were more expensive than I was comfortable with and that would not provide full catering service. Being referred to Apron Strings was a breath of fresh air. They quickly responded to me about pricing and menu options. At my wedding, the ONE thing I heard about most was how delicious the food was. Charisse & her team are talented, professional, and tasteful. To me, feeding my loved ones is such an important part of an event, and I can tell that Apron Strings takes their responsibility seriously. Also, the sweet potato casserole was to die for!

Apron Strings Catering is phenomenal. They catered our wedding and, man, did we enjoy the food. I worked with Charisse who was very helpful throughout the entire process (I was a little late booking)! She was very patient and worked with me on several occasions to change the menu. Our tasting was delicious, and they made us feel at home. At the wedding, we had the mac and cheese bar which was a hit and a must-have, in my opinion. They also packed us to go boxes so we could enjoy food after the wedding - that came in clutch! They had excellent caterers and were extremely professional. I definitely recommend!

Our food was a total hit. Apron Strings was the only catering service that took my unique menu idea and ran with it. Unlike other caterers, I was never pushed to conform to a typical menu.

My husband and I just used Apron Strings for our wedding reception. The food was delicious and I would totally recommend them in this regard. Unfortunately, the service was lacking - food from the buffet and plates from the tables were cleared way too quickly with no extra plates or silverware set out on the buffet. As a result, some guests never got to eat when there was food to spare. Also, be aware that bartenders will set out tip jars. If you don't like seeing these at your reception, you may discuss this beforehand. When I contacted Apron Strings about the matter, I received a generic email in response, in which they wished their best regards to "the happy couple" - and I'm the bride who has been corresponding with them throughout the planning process! Overall, the food is good, but for the price you pay, the service and customer service are not of the same caliber.

Everyone who attended our wedding has been raving about the food and drink ever since. They are great people to work with and make the most amazing mac and cheese!

Apron Strings was so flexible with us- Working with our special requests and being adaptable to our menu which changed several times during the process. My husband and I loved that they packed us to-go containers so that we could enjoy a midnight snack of all the appetizers we missed while taking pictures. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants low-stress wedding planning and good food.

Beyond happy with our decision to book with Apron Strings. Charisse and Evelyn were a dream team to work with. Very accommodating and never made me feel like I was bothering them with my 2341234 questions. Our guests still talk about the shrimp and grits and southern style mac and cheese. They provide an excellent spread, display, and service. They also gave us a wonderful to-go bag so we could actually enjoy our delicious food after the reception. We love Apron Strings!!

We traveled from Kansas City to Chattanooga this past weekend for a wedding and were lucky enough to be included at the rehearsal dinner hosted at the Pavillion. Apron Strings Catering served the dinner that night and I cannot say enough nice things about them! The servers on sight were so efficient and nice! The food was outstanding!!! It was all served hot which is not easy at a venue witan onsite kitchen. And as a girl who grew up in Tennessee I fell in love with the Cranberry iced tea😋

Amazing food and people to work with! So many guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever had!

Choosing Apron Strings for our rehearsal dinner catering and wedding day of catering was one of the best decisions we could have made. Charisse and her team were professional, flexible, and responsive throughout the whole planning and execution process. We would definitely use them in the future! THANK YOU!

Apron Strings catered my daughter's wedding at Magnolia Pines on June 24, 2017. The service were FANTASTIC and the food was delicious. People are still talking about how good the food was. Guests went back for seconds and thirds. Charisse is super GREAT to work with she is soooooo patient, accommodating, and understanding (we had to make several changes at the last minute) and she NEVER complained. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone for any occasion that you want good food and service.

Apron Strings Catering catered my wedding a couple weekends ago at The Homestead at Cloudland Station (June 2017). The service was phenomenal! Charisse was very nice throughout the whole process and very flexible. She made 6+ menus for me as I kept changing my mind throughout the year. The food was absolutely delicious and displayed elegantly. The food was fresh, hot, and made exactly to what I had decided on. The staff made sure everything was stocked and cleaned throughout the night and even helped take peoples plates after they were finished. I would highly recommend using this catering company and I will be using them again!

Very friendly staff, worked with me to figure out the theme/colors of my wedding and then decorated the food tables accordingly. Everything was beautiful and tasted great!

Amazing food!! Charisse is so easy to work with! She was so willing to help and make everything carefree from my standpoint!

Apron Strings did an amazing job for my wedding. They were easy to work with and were fantastic with correspondence before the wedding. The food was fantastic and everybody raved about how good it was-barely leaving any leftovers. The staff did a great job setting up the venue, the tables looked great, and they are priced perfectly. I highly recommend for any bride in the Chattanooga area.

They did a beautiful job catering my wedding! The food was delicious and nobody left hungry. The staff worked very hard to make the experience rememberable! I recommend them to anyone.

I have never had better wedding food in my life. We did a heavy hors d'oeuvre buffet and it was just amazing. Clarisse and her team really know what they are doing in the kitchen. In the beginning she wrote up several different menu options for us and allowed us to tweak them to be perfect. The prices were extremely reasonable for food this good. We did our first tasting and I was blown away. The food at the reception was even better I think. Guests came up to me several times and said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding and were wondering who the caterer was. I would gladly recommend Apron Strings to anyone! They also supplied our bartenders and they, too, were great! They were fun and kept the bar area flowing very efficiently!

Our food at the reception was simply amazing! We had guest complimenting on our reception food for weeks after the wedding. Great to work with!

They asked me a bunch of questions to get to an understanding of what I wanted the final product to look like to go with my theme! The food was amazing!! They gave my new husband and I a to go bag because we didn't have much time to eat during the reception! That was such a blessing!

Working with Apron Strings was the icing on the cake. From day one they made the process fun and enjoyable. I have heard from others that caterers can be intimidating--well they obviously didn't use Apron Strings! They were extremely nice and patient. They are very knowledgeable of all things relating to a wedding reception. They knew the venue inside and out so they even helped me with the entire reception layout. Every idea we had they made happen. From the cocktail hour to the reception buffet and late night nacho bar they were on top of it. Then there is the food. The food speaks for itself. It was that good! Everyone I spoke with went back for seconds and I am pretty sure my dad went back more than that. They have my vote for best caterer ever.

This company is without a doubt the most accommodating and fun company to work with. They are extremely prompt with responses to any question I had. They went out of their way to go above and beyond to help make my day as perfect as possible. They went above the duty of a caterer and at times acted as a wonderful wedding planner. I would recommend them to anyone!!!

Working with Apron Strings was amazing. They provided amazing food and were so well organized. They made a beautiful display on the food tables--saving me money and they were the kindest people. I would use them again for sure and am telling all my friends to use them.
