ART Catering & Events

All of the food at our wedding was fantastic! We used them for our appetizers and entrees. We did a buffet option which I was a little hesitant about but all of the food was fresh and delicious! I see there was another review that commented on the lack of communication which I have to agree with. We had the same issue that there was no crab meat, but they waited until a couple weeks before the wedding to tell us that, but then told me that they had known for months. I just wish they said that this could be a possibility because we would have tried something else at our tasting to be a backup. I live out of state so we couldn't do a second tasting last minute, but with a little more of a heads up we would have traveled to do a second tasting, we were already going there multiple times to do other wedding planning. In the end the second option we picked was great but was more expensive so it kind of threw off our budget. It wasn't a huge difference in price, but again wasn't expecting to find this out right before the wedding. The staff were so great, showed up on time and were super friendly! Even with the small hiccup I would 100% still book Art Catering. The service and food are absolutely worth it!!

In the end, ART Catering came through and provided us with exceptional service for our wedding. However, from the beginning, I felt like they were difficult to work with and did not communicate well at all. Whenever we would correspond via email, the responses we received were not clear and did not answer our questions. I was told that they do not typically send the contract until the initial 25% deposit has been made… but why would anybody make a deposit without reviewing the contract first? Made no sense to me. In an attempt to finalize the menu so I could submit the final payment, I reached out to the company three weeks before the wedding because I had not heard from them. I was then told they could not get any crabmeat for months due to the shortage. . . The crab meat shortage was not in their control, but if they had known for months that it would be difficult to source crab, they should have reached out to notify me so I could make menu changes accordingly. Crab was in one of our entrees and our appetizer. They were able to accommodate a last minute change when we decided to add desserts, so we appreciate their flexibility on that! We went with mini cheesecakes, cannolis, chocolate covered strawberries, and mini cookies. All were delicious! Three days before our event is when I finally received our finalized menu and the menu was INCORRECT. I had been asking for this menu for weeks and when they finally submitted it to me, it was incorrect. Luckily, it was able to be fixed and the menu was correct in the end. I was told by someone in the office that they had tried contacting me by phone the week before to finalize the menu . . . I had no missed calls or voicemails or email correspondence from them at all. Despite the difficult correspondence, the wedding catering service, could not have gone more smoothly. The caterers arrived on time and were very kind and professional. The food was delicious, the buffalo cauliflower bites were a hit! We also went with the chicken at the ritz, flat iron steaks, and vegan mushroom ragout over polenta for our buffet entrees. We got many compliments on the food! If it weren’t for the way things were handled prior to the wedding, I would give them 5 stars for their service. However, the lack of communication throughout the entire process was a total disappointment.

Very happy with the customer service and communication we had with ART catering leading up to our wedding. They were accommodating to the changes we made along the way and executed perfectly the day of. The food was delicious. Highly recommend to anyone needing catering!

ART Catering catered our wedding at our beach house while on family vacation. The service provided by Rosemary, Thai, LaTonya and Amber was outstanding. They all went above and beyond. Hats off to the chef as everyone was very impressed with the food that was served. I wouldn't hesitate to use ART again if the opportunity arose. Thanks to all and I highly recommend Art Catering.

As with many others during the pandemic, we had to change our plans for our original wedding date. We downsized and moved it to Ocean Isle Beach. We reached out to ART Catering & Events with just over a month to go for our wedding date and they were great! The food and service we received was amazing! They were already booked for two other weddings and we were trying to keep the amount of people below 20 people, so we arranged to pick-up the food and set it up ourselves. Rosemary and Amy were great to work with and gave us all of the instructions and made sure we had everything we needed for a delicious meal for our reception! Thank you so much for everything ART Catering & Events!

I can't say enough great things about Art Catering and its staff! I had 3 weeks to re-plan my wedding in a different state hundreds of miles away and thanks to Art, it was a perfect and stress free day. Planning was easy, the food was fantastic and the service was incredible. Our bartender Brett even had drinks ready before guests could make it to the bar! I am so thankful they were able to cater my wedding!!

Fantastic!! So professional and easy to work with! I hired them to cater my rehearsal dinner and wedding reception and the food was phenomenal and the service was great. Highly recommend. We got everything scheduled online and worked with them for months prior as this was a destination wedding.

The hospitality, professionalism, and personal vibe we received from ART Catering was amazing. They were so responsive whenever we had questions or ideas. They were continuously flexible leading up to our wedding day- even the day before. The service provided the day of exceeded my expectations. On top of all of this- the food was amazing!!! Everyone raved about the food even days later. I can’t say enough good things about ART Catering! Stop reading this review and contact them for your event!

I must say that ART Catering was the most amazing catering experience I've had the pleasure of dealing with. They catered my wedding 2 weeks ago at OIB. The food was delicious and the two ladies who catered were wonderful. All our guest raved about the food! Thank you, ART Catering, for helping to make our wedding the best day of our lives! We highly recommend you!!

ART Catering was absolutely incredible with planning our menu (and brunch the next day!) and the quality of the food was superb. We had our party right as the COVID19 crisis began, and they were extremely accommodating and worked so hard to keep everyone safe! We were having a hard time finding a caterer that would serve Holden Beach and once we found them, I knew they were the perfect match.

ART catering went above and beyond for our daughter’s wedding. We had to change the day of the wedding just days before due to the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. They went above and beyond accommodating all of our needs and requests. Their food and service were perfect! Our wedding planner backed out at the last minute and they even sent a staff member who had wedding planning experience to help us. By the end of the wedding, they felt more like family to us. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make the wedding seamless and memorable in all the best ways. We still have guests talking about the shrimp and grits! I highly recommend them!!

ART catered my husband and I’s wedding in January. We both love food so having a unique array of high quality food to serve our friends and family was really important to us. Due to being out of town with work, we were unable to meet with ART in person for almost 4 months. But with Rachael’s above and beyond customer service, sincerity, and kindhearted personality, we felt like we were meeting one of our close friends by the time we finally got to meet in person and taste the foods we had tentatively picked out. When we arrived, it felt like ART had rolled out the red carpet for us from a cute, personalized chalkboard sign greeting us at the door to the candle lit table with fresh flowers to the service. The owner even came in to meet us and talk while we were there. It was a great experience; we left even more excited about our choice in catering. With the help of Rachael, ART also catered our rehearsal dinner when our original caterer pulled out. As far as we know, everything went smoothly for the rehearsal dinner and day of. Rachael came up and gave us a big hug at the reception which meant a lot to see her since she helped us SO very much the months leading up to our wedding. Our guests RAVED about the food! Aside from the ceremony and dessert, the food is probably what we heard the most compliments about. Everyone spoke so highly about the selection and how the food tasted! Apart from some confusion about the number of servers + workers present vs. the number that we paid for, we are so happy that ART catered our special day and we’re grateful for all that they did to help make our day perfect!

We are so very grateful we chose Art Catering for our New Years Eve wedding.. Before the wedding, they were so fabulous during the process of choosing foods and setup. I felt as though Rosemary was a friend helping me through it all. She was spectacular! Terry made sure we had thought of everything, so her expertise was a blessing. After the wedding our guests raved about the great food and so many of them also commented about the staff. They were so professional and very attentive to the guests which made a great impression on us. Art Catering took care of so much which helped to make our entire event seamless. I will surely be using them again!

Art Catering came highly recommended from multiple sources and we are so happy we chose them to host our daughter’s rehearsal dinner. Everyone raved about the food and the staff was fantastic. Thank you!

My husband & I got married this past weekend and we used Arts Caterinf & Events as our caterer. From the tasting to the actual event, this company has been amazing and so easy to work with! The food was SO GOOD!!! I recommend their signature pimento cheese balls and mashed potatoes!! The staff was wonderful as well! I love this company and will be using them again in the future!

If I could give ten stars I would! Terri, Rosemary and the whole team care a great deal about the role they play in your event! I met Rosemary when our previous caterer cancelled, three weeks before my sons wedding. From the first phone call she was reassuring, patient and positive that everything would be fine. She was right but it was because of how caring and professional her team was throughout the process. We had the best experience, ever!!!

Fantastic food and fantastic customer service!! Would definitely recommend! I had Rosemary help me majority of the planning and making sure everything was perfect and it absolutely was!!! Also the pulled pork and the Mac n Cheese is to die for!

Rachel was a pleasure to work with! We got rave reviews about how amazing the food was. Art Catering is affordable and delicious. Highly recommend them for your wedding or special event!

Terry and her team made everything easy! Their food was amazing and rentals were so simple. They delivered and set up chairs, plates, napkins and all! I barely saw the staff at the reception only due to the craziness of wedding day, but all my guests loved the bartender and said everyone was awesome. They even made us a plate for dinner that was waiting for us when it was time to eat. We brought to-go boxes and had plenty of leftovers that we took with us. They also kept the reception area cleaned up as the night went on; it was nice to not have to worry about any of that. Definitely recommend for any event!

The entire crew at Art Catering was incredible. From the tasting to the wedding day everything was amazing! Our wedding guests loved everything. The crew is top notch, they made wedding planning a breeze! Highly recommend this one stop shop for all of your catering needs.

Amazing service, amazing food, and cold drinks! Rachel, our catering consultant, was so responsive and caring.

The entire team at ART Catering was fantastic from beginning to end; from our tasting, to all of my emailed questions, to the wedding day. Rachel was wonderful at answering all of my questions and putting me at ease. We had an all vegan reception and the food was AMAZING. Every guest commented about how good the food was. Everyone working the event was kind and polite to all of our guests. They all were very sweet and made sure that as the bride I had everything I needed and that I was happy. It was a great event and I will absolutely use ART Catering again.

ART Catering and Events provided amazing food and service for our daughter’s Sunset Beach, NC wedding. Chef Andrew was fun to work with creating the perfect menu. The low-country boil that ART Catering prepared on-site was delicious. Our guests raved about the crab cakes, fig and brie tarts and grilled vegetables. Complimenting the excellent food, were the friendly and efficient staff and servers. Thank you Terry and Andrew for helping to make our daughter’s wedding perfect.

I can NOT say enough wonderful things about Rachel and Art Catering!! We live in CT and our wedding was held in Ocean Isle Beach, NC. The months leading up to it Rachel was ALWAYS willing to answer any & all questions we had. She was willing to go over every detail and made changes where we saw fit. My husband and I went down in October for a taste test and we were just blown away! From the presentation to the food itself! Rachel could not be more friendly and attentive in person. We just love her to pieces!! The day of our wedding went off without a hitch. They were early & efficient and had everything set up in a blink of an eye. We decided on a cocktail hour then a heavy hors d'oeuvres menu for dinner. Again, the presentation of the food was perfect (everything was labeled so a girl like me with OCD it made me very happy) Did I mention how DELICIOUS the food was? The chicken & waffles were EPIC!! The entire staff that day was professional, courteous and just amazing! We are already planning our next event to have them caterer for us!!

ART Catering catered our wedding reception this December. From the tasting to the reception everyone we interacted with from ART Catering was so nice and provided great customer service. The prices were reasonable for the food, tableware and delivery fees. The food was amazing! We had a gluten allergy to work with, but their offerings provided multiple options to choose from that accommodated this. For one of our main entrees they even allowed us to change the sauce that originally wen with the steak to be gluten-free. Everyone from the wedding raved over how good the food was! Thank you so much ART Catering!

Our wedding occurred a week after Hurricane Florence and everything seemed to be up in the air. Art Catering handled the situation like a pro and brought everything together seamlessly.

Wonderful company with great service and amazing food!!

Wonderful for our wedding! They brought out the full spread of food and desserts we were interested in for the tasting, which was so helpful. They were on time and promptly set up all the food and desserts at our venue. Professional, easy to work with, and delicious food and cupcakes - the guests raved about everything!

ART Catering and Events was amazing! Terry and her whole team does an excellent job. They were always available when I had questions, wanted to added items to the menu. The whole ART Catering team was extremely professional. I had multiple wait staff come up to me during the night to make sure I had ate. They all offered to make me a plate. It was also great because they also provided the linens, in my color choice and helped flipped the ceremony area over to the reception area. We had the taco bar!! The food was incredible. I have had so many of our guest reach out to me about how good they taco bar was. They boxed up all the leftovers for my husband and I to take home!! The food was still great even as leftovers!! I would highly recommend!!!

We are from Ohio so we made all decisions from home. We picked ART early on but once we got closer to the wedding the process was really easy even with being out of town. We didn’t do your normal tastings and such but the food was amazing. Perfect selections for our beach wedding, our guests were very pleased. The staff the day of were so nice and helpful! My husband and I felt confident with ART from the get go and were happy it was a vendor we didn’t have to worry about through our planning. Definitely would recommend!

Art catering was a pleasure to work with for our wedding. We used them for tables, chairs, linens, and appetizers. I felt their prices were affordable and the staff was very friendly. Rachel was my point of contact and I really appreciated her honesty and help me make decisions. She was very prompt with responses and knowledgeable. I was nervous being cross country and not tasting the food beforehand, but our guests raved about how good the food was! Our guests really liked the coconut shrimp and chicken pineapple kabobs. I guess it was so good the food was gone before we could even walk to get some. I also really appreciated the servers and bartender. They worked really hard to make sure our guests were happy. Rosemary and her daughter really stuck out in my mind as they helped us decided how to set up things and where to put our cake. I also appreciated how they picked up and threw away all the trash at a local dump that way we didn’t fill up all our beach house trash cans. I highly recommend this company as I feel they are reliable, honest, and hard working people.

ART Catering provided their service at my daughter's wedding on April 28th. The food was delicious, service outstanding, attention to detail over the top. As my daugher stated, this was the perfect wedding and ART Catering certainly contributed to the overall success. ART Catering is a prime example of providing service excellence! Thank you.

When my husband and I went for our tasting everything seemed amazing; the food was delicious and when I explained to the owner that I was looking for a full service cater who would be responsible for setup and breakdown, she assured me that's what they were. However, after that everything became very different, it was extremely difficult to get in touch with anyone via email or calling. I had to track down someone in the office to go through my final arrangements and when I did, I was told that my bill would be increased because it didn't include having their staff setup or breakdown the event like I requested, that cocktail hour would be a buffet rather than the standard passed service AND since I was having real china rather than plastic plates, it was more "labor intensive" so all of that would require an additional person. Once that was all straightened out, I requested to pick up my linens the Thursday before my wedding so I could decorate the venue early; I was told that would be no problem and the linens would be ready by 9am, when I got there at 1pm the linens were no where to be found. While the owner was nice enough to bring the table cloths to my house that evening, the napkins were still MIA. When the napkins arrived on Friday, they were the wrong color. During my wedding, I was extremely surprised to see that the waitstaff did not wear any type of uniform. They were in jeans and sweatshirts!! The steak bite hors d’oeuvres were still frozen and none of the food tasted as it had during the tasting. The food we tried during our tasting was AMAZING but the food we had at our wedding seemed as though it was prepackaged food that was just heated up and served. During dinner the wait staff did not wait until it appeared that the entire wedding was done with dinner to clear dinner plates, they kept walking around and trying to take the guests plates while they were still eating. At 9pm, my husband noticed that the wait staff was breaking down all chairs from the tables when our wedding wasn't over until 11pm!! I had to go over to them and explain that pulling the chairs gave our guests the impression the night was ending and it wasn't! The continued to stand in a group and just stare at the wedding. I had a number of guests comment to me about how awkward they made it. I worked for a catering company for 7 years in Rhode Island and understand what is involved in being a caterer; this catering company has a lot to learn about what it means to be a "full service caterer". Everyone asked me what I would change if I had to do it all over again and the ONLY thing I would have changed was the caterer.

ART Catering has mastered the art of creating beautiful food that tastes amazing!! They were also extremely accommodating when it came to dietary restrictions (and other preferences from the family of the bride). We absolutely recommend using them for your big day! Recommendations: chicken Florentine, tortellini in the cream sauce, broccoli casserole, Carolina steak bites and the crab dip!

amazing food, the staff was very helpful but poorly dressed for an occasion such as a wedding. our bartender's attire resembled a plumber anytime he reached for something if you get what i mean by that. And we had an issue with several missing cases of beer and bottles of wine. when we spoke to Art Catering they informed us that their staff had no part in the missing alcoholic beverages but my husband and I still feel differently. They did however make a quick return phone call and were very attentive to the issues i brought to their attention. At any rate i would suggest you just let them provide the alcohol for your event should you decide to serve any to prevent and confusion at the end of the evening. The staff was very helpful with any changes i made. i was planning my wedding from the other side of the state and they addressed any issues i had promptly. It took several phones calls over the same issue to have an updated invoice correctly reflect the change. The corkage fee per person was charge on our total requested number of plates and not the actual guest count or number of people attending over the age of 21 so i found myself a little discontent with that as we had ordered a dozen plates more than we needed to ensure we did not run out and we had another dozen people who were under the age of 21. But it was a small fee so at the end of the day it wasn't a huge deal just something to be aware of. Again don't let this take away from the stellar service we received at our wedding reception and the divine food we had. they also did our wedding rehearsal dinner and again stellar food and service.

We used Art Catering for our ocean front 12 bedroom beach house wedding (50 E 1st St in Ocean Isle, NC known as "Splash Kingdom") on May 13, 2017. We had 65 guests. I have nothing but GREAT things to say about this company! It was a joy having them work our wedding. They are affordable, their food is delicious (I'm a picky eater and I have an allergy to gluten), the staff is helpful, and they took care of "everything" to make a smooth wedding day! Tables, chairs, and the arch were delivered the day before the wedding (plenty of time for us to decorate the arch), and they brought linen and set up everything the day of the wedding including centerpieces. All rentals were picked up the next morning before we checked out. We loved that we were able to have their bartender serve our own beer and wine! They even brought their own ice so we didn't have to worry about anything (for a small fee). Terry, Dawn, and Elizabeth were very helpful by answering my million and one questions. They gave honest feedback to my questions instead of "what would make them the most money". I honestly felt like everything would be taken care of and I need not worry. It was a wonderful feeling! Go with Art Catering! They are great!!

Everyone at ART was great! From my initial emails to our tasting and the event itself, it couldn't have been any better executed. The food was amazing- we had rave reviews by all of our guests and the suggestion that all weddings should be breakfast/brunch themed! Everyone also mentioned how helpful the staff was with setup and even assisting with non catering-related items prior to the event. So glad that I didn't have any worries on the big day- it all seemed to be covered!

Terry and team at Art Catering were awesome! They provided an authentic seafood boil for our beach wedding reception. They were very professional and easy to work with. We had a small wedding (less than 50 guests) so we chose not to hire a wedding planner and do it ourselves. They were great at helping us choose linens, tableware, centerpieces, etc. They arrived on time for the set up, food was phenomenal, and my guests were very complimentary. I highly recommend Art Catering.

I used Art Catering for my destination wedding from New York to Sunset Beach & Ocean Isle Beach, NC. We were referred to Art from Silver Coast Winery (venue we booked) while I was still in NY and my mom and sister were on vacation last April. They were able to meet with them the same day that they booked the venue and gave us tons of tips and information. Then we went to the tasting this past October and it was the first time that I met Terry and she treated us great! She again provided us with tons of information and guided us just like a wedding planner might. If I had any questions I would direct them toward Dawn and she always got back to me within a few hours. We used Art for a rehearsal dinner at my parent's rental on Sunset Beach, for the reception at Silver Coast Winery and then again for a morning after brunch again at Sunset Beach. They also provided information on who/where to rent tables and chairs from for the rehearsal. We had no worries those three days as the Art Catering staff (including Ryan, Terry's son) were awesome. We dropped off the center pieces and flowers the morning of the wedding and they set everything up and even made slight adjustments to the plans as they saw fit due to space, etc. The whole weekend went without a hitch due to this awesome staff. We will never forget how fortunate we were to find such an awesome team of people, not to mention the food was great!

My husband and I got married in October 2014 and used ART Catering Services for our reception. Our reception was held in a tent on Sunset Beach following our ceremony on the beach. They were able to do all their services seamlessly out of their truck, you would've thought they were working out of a full kitchen! I planned the wedding long distance from Mississippi where we currently live and communications with their office was always great. A lot of emails were exchanged. I was thankfully able to make the trip a couple times to NC and meet with them to do a tasting and hammer out the details, but they were always so accommodating to whatever we were looking for or any changes that we wanted to make. As far as the food goes, it was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! All of our guests were raving about the hors d'ouerves (the crab cakes and BBQ sliders were particularly yummy!) and the dinner (Champagne Chicken and Prime Rib!). The service was great, we had people walking around with trays and stations as well during our cocktail hour and everyone got a little bit of everything without any congestion. The bar was quick and wonderful too. The only thing I will say is that because the coordinator we planned everything with was different from the coordinator that was actually at the event, I think there was some miscommunication about how we were doing our served dinner. So the dinner service started off a little bumpy but in the end everything got settled. I would just confirm things as much as possible before the event to make sure things run smoothly, of course I would recommend that for any vendor. I hope this review helps future brides, I know I relied a lot on reviews when planning especially since I was an out of town bride and I had to pick and reserve most of my vendors before even meeting them in person. I definitely recommend ART Catering. They are AMAZING and helped make our wedding the perfect day.

From the first tasting, until they hauled away the chairs and tables after the reception, ART Catering was hassle and problem free. Their food was simple delicious, especially the Chicken and the Tortellini. Our guests raved about it, and even the picky eaters found plenty to dine on. They even worked with the food to make sure they were peanut free, as a few of our guests' children had allergies. They arrived on time, were a joy to work with and could not have been more pleasant. Using their table and chair rentals made it a one stop shop, and helped eased our burden of dealing with too many vendors. Art Catering was a comfort from beginning to end and if we have any catering and/or event needs in the Ocean Isle Beach area again, they will be our first call.

We had a wedding at Holden Beach and Art Catering supplied the food for the Rehearsal Dinner and Reception. They did an excellent job and we were very pleased. They arrived when they were suppose to and everything was delicious. I would recommend them to any wedding party.

We had a fiesta themed wedding and knew right from the beginning that we wanted to have a taco bar where guests could fix their own food down the line. ART Catering was right in line with our idea from the very beginning and the hardest part was picking between all the delicious options they gave us at our tasting. On the big day, the food was just as delicious as it had been for us on our tasting day and everyone loved it!

Art Catering from start to finish was totally amazing. Patient, kind, suggestive. AND the food was incredible. Our guests are still talking about it a month later!!!

Amazing Food! Great options for formal sit down dinners and for something a little more laid back like I had for my wedding. My husband and I chose their Low Country Boil (shrimp, corn, potato). The crab cakes and bacon wrapped scallops were amazing! We had many compliments from all guest on how great the food was. Easy company to work with.

Terry and her entire team at ART Catering were WONDERFUL to work with! All of my questions throughout the wedding planning process were answered quickly and thoroughly (and believe me, I had a LOT of questions!). Terry was also very accomodating to our budget and worked with us in creating a menu that was perfect for our event. On the day of the wedding, Terry was professional and friendly. She went out of her way to speak to me during the reception to make sure everything was to my liking. Best of all - the food was great! It wasn't your typical "wedding food" and multiple people commented on how good everything was! Brides - book ART Catering NOW! You won't be sorry!

My guests are still raving about how great the food was at our wedding. And the tasting was fantastic! They are great to work with, and they are incredibly professional with their work. I had such an easy time when it came to the catering portion of my wedding. I still am dreaming about that crab dip! Terry and Elaine did a great job with our wedding!

Everyone raved about how good the teriyaki chicken and lasagna was! Every dish we had was delicious! I've been to a couple wedding where I thought the food tasted just blah when it was mass produced like this but Art's catering was delicious! They even brought an unmarinated chicken breast for a guest with special dietary needs. They were very easy to work with and the staff was extremely polite! I would definitely recommend them! They were very reasonably priced when ordering off their $9 menu. We had a guest list of 50 and it was around $1,200 with everything I believe.

I used Art Catering to do a brunch at Silver Coast Winery. Their brunch is AMAZING. We had fruit, pastries, an omelette station, the Southwestern potato casserole, and fried green tomatoes with purple onion jam. They also did coffee, hot tea, sweet tea, unsweet tea, etc. It was all done at a very reasonable price and the quality was outstanding. Usually at a wedding, you grade on a curve with food since they're producing it in bulk, but this was a great meal by any standard. Several people commented on how much they liked the food. The fried green tomatoes were especially a hit, and I was happy to get to share a classic with my non-Southern family members. The omelette station was especially great because people with all kinds of dietary preferences and restrictions could customize their fillings. Working with Art Catering was very, very easy. We did a tasting with them in which we also picked out linen colors, flatware, and so forth. Terry was very open to whatever we suggested, but was also had helpful suggestions for when we had no idea what to pick. Since they were bringing a truck anyway, we also had them set up the arch, chairs, and so forth as well as the linens. They made the barrel room look absolutely beautiful, and it really helped that they were already familiar with the space - it meant, for instance, that Terry actually had photos of another wedding in that space so that she could show us what she was thinking in terms of table layout, and also that she knew a brighter color for linen was good since it would fill the room up more. One thing that I really appreciated about Art Catering is that they didn't do a lot of "just checking in!" calls. We made our arrangements, they took good notes, and they did exactly what we had discussed without needing any extra supervision beforehand or on the day. When you are juggling a lot of vendors, it can get tiring to have people calling you over and over to re-confirm details that you've already approved. AC was very professional and had their act together!

Terry and her staff were absolutely wonderful to work with. She was flexible, a great communicator, and very easy to work with! We planned our wedding as a "destination" wedding and were so thankful to end up with such a wonderful caterer. We met with her about 5 months before our big day for a menu tasting and to discuss details. Her menu is wonderful!! We had a hard time narrowing down our choices. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the menu selections (and the bar too!). She also has a great list of vendors she works with! We walked away with tummy's full, happy guests, and an amazing friendship. Terry and her team are dream-makers when it comes to weddings! I would HIGHLY recommend ART catering to anyone.

Excellent food...Everyone loved it!

The food at the wedding reception was absolutely delicious and warm. Our guest are still talking about how wonderful our dinner was at the reception!

I loved working with Terry at Art Catering. She did an amazing job helping us plan for the right number of people and making sure that we had everything that we needed. We ordered our linens, tables, and chairs through them in addition to the food. The food was delicious! We had them cater our rehearsal dinner as well as the wedding reception and both were top notch. I would definitely recommend using Art Catering and you have to go eat at the Purple Onion Cafe as well!

We used Art Catering for our reception and it was fabulous! The food was delicious, the prices were great and the people were very friendly. Everyone loved it!

Terry was great! The food was wonderful! Everyone was happy!

I used Art Catering for both our rehearsal dinner & our reception food... and i am SO glad I did! We got so many compliments on how good the food was & Terry went above and beyond to make sure that everything was exactly how we wanted it. She even took care of handling all the rentals for us so that was one less vendor i had to coordinate with! If you are getting married anywhere near Wilmington/Ocean Isle/Sunset Beach, I would absolutely recommend giving them a call! They have a selection for anyone's taste... and did I mention they have an $8/pp catering menu?! Seriously, they're awesome.

The food was absolutly WONDERFUL!! There was not any left over!! The service was wonderful! I would highly recommend them!!

My fiance and I recently used Art Catering for our North Carolina wedding. The staff and owners were very communicative and helpful throughout the planning process. The event coordinator, Terry, was always willing to meet to go over any planning. Art Catering offers event planning, catering, and set up /tear down for your event, which makes it super easy for the bride and groom. The food is very delicious, and they are willing to customize your menu however you like. We had a served dinner, which I don't think Art Catering is used to. The waitstaff seemed a bit flustered throughout the evening, which we attributed to the company not doing a lot of served formal events. Other than that Art Catering provided us with terrific service for our wedding and I would recommend them to anyone in the area, especially if you are looking to have buffet service. The food is reasonably priced and delicious.

We had mashed potatoes, chicken, bbq, baked beans, green bean casserole and tea from The Purple Onion. They also arranged the tables and linens. Everyone raved about how good the food was and there were no problems with anything. Great to work with!!
