We had such a wonderful experience with Carriage House Catering for our daughter’s wedding! From the very beginning, everything was seamless. The tasting was a great experience, and Nicole was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process—from helping us create the perfect menu to assisting with the table settings and all of the little details. On the wedding day, everything came together beautifully. The food was absolutely delicious, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed it. It meant so much to us to know that our guests were well taken care of and truly enjoyed their meal. Nicole and the entire Carriage House Catering team were wonderful to work with from start to finish. We are so grateful for the part they played in making our daughter’s wedding day so special and would highly recommend them!

Carriage House catered our wedding on 11/22/25. The tasting was fun, and they really explained the whole process and the different options. We were able to get the exact items that we wanted on our menu. We ended up choosing the Level IV menu. The servers were very professional, and the bartenders were great too! The food at the wedding was even better than the tasting which was a pleasant surprise! I would definitely use Carriage house again and would recommend them to others.

t the items for the event. Options were more than plentiful. Their staff managed the “room flip” between ceremony and reception with calm professionalism, and coordinated with our planner and the florist to make it truly beautiful. Carriage House wedding packages provide plenty of food for the event, as well as linens, including appetizers for cocktail hour. They also are able to provide the bar service, making it so easy to cross those items off your list. But most importantly, the food was delicious! So, so many of our guests made a point of sharing how much they loved it, and it truly was an impressive and delicious buffet. Tina was our event manager, and she ensured EVERYTHING exceeded expectations, handling whatever came up with grace and efficiency. She is THE BEST! Would hire Carriage House for any event, knowing the catering would be perfect, and I wouldn’t have to give it another thought!

I can't wait until I have another event where I can use Carriage House again!

decided to throw a backyard wedding and then realized everything that entailed. Nicole and her team were a dream come true. They are 100% hands on and helped to make me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. The food was incredible and they were able to accommodate anything we needed with ease. I also need to mention Tina who was our "day of team leader".... this woman is AMAZING. She made sure my husband and I were taken care of and did not have to worry about a single thing. She even took extra care to help with my dress when the bustle broke. If you are looking for a full service caterer, look no further. You will not be disappointed. Thank you again Carriage House!!

dible the food was. The team was more than amazing - they were so attentive, provided some of the best service, and made sure that we had everything we needed (especially as THE couple). It was definitely one of the more expensive caterers we looked at, but you 100000% get what you pay for. We were given an abundance of food to take home at the end of the night, and were able to take it with us on our long drive to our honeymoon. Between the food and their incredible customer service, they helped make the wedding of my dreams come true!

nning process we had to significantly reduce our guest count and thus had a major menu overhaul, and the process was simple. After the wedding, My mom could not stop raving about the service. Every staff member I interacted with was passionate and kind. And the food?? Incredible. Trust me, if people remember the food from weddings, go with Carriage House and yours will be unforgettable. The seafood Mac n cheese was top notch. My family almost fell out over who got the leftovers of that. Plus, I also rented my ceremony and reception chairs through Carriage house, which couldn’t have been simpler. They also provide all the linens and dishes, so there’s no worry about washing up. Choosing this catering service was hands down, top 3 best choices I made.

Nicole was super responsive, checked in often, took our requests, and was able to accommodate whatever we asked for. The food was absolutely delicious and we were even surprised to have a take home bag to take to the hotel that evening. Nicole and her team were wonderful the day of and I cannot recommend them enough!!

d high and low for caterers for my wedding afraid Carriage House wasn't able to travel to my venue. My husband and I should have never searched because nothing compared to what Carriage House had to offer. We got married on Cinco de Mayo, so we wanted a fun, bar-food but filling type of set-up and that's just what we got! Jeff put together a custom menu for us to try at our tasting. His other menus are great but we loved what he put together for us. Our menu included a taco station with chicken, steak and shrimp and all of the possible toppings, a salad bar with fresh fruit and roasted veggies, a slider bar with three choices of meat and all of the toppings, a mac and cheese bar with two mac and cheese choices and tons of toppings, then of course a non-alcoholic drink station. He worked with our schedule to set-up a tasting and was very accommodating to all special requests. Jeff included linens and drinking glassware, which we requested to be removed from our proposal. He was happy to do so and worked with the custom drinkware we ordered for our wedding! We had tons of great quality, amazing tasting food for a very, very affordable price. Our onsite team was hands down the best. Tina made things happen and made sure I was well fed! She was also so so much fun! Same with Ciara and the rest of our serving staff. We had an absolute blast with them! Most bride's don't ever meet their catering staff but we were all about our team! Hands down amazing. At the end of the night, we had tons of food to take back with us for a late night snack, cupcakes and HUGE slices of our cake. It was all packaged neatly in to-go boxes with a custom Carriage House tote bag that included plates, utensils and napkins. Our coordinator loved the Carriage House staff just as much as we did! Thank you for everything!

Looking back that makes sense because its probably leftovers from a past wedding but this made me a little anxious for the day of the wedding BUT OH MY GOSH- y'all... the food was absolutely amazing. From the fried chicken to the butter on my roll, I was melting. I somehow managed to get two plates on my own wedding day! The cake was beautiful and simple- exactly what I asked for! OH and it tasted great which is not always a given. I highly recommend Carriage House Catering.

I was also so pleased that all of my champagne was poured for a toast, just as I had always envisioned. It made for the perfect evening, and I cannot thank them enough.

My fiance and I are huge foodies, so having good food was one of the most important things at our wedding. We were beyond pleased with how everything tasted and turned out.
