Debra was absolutely incredible for us in catering our wedding reception. We had about 100 people at our party, and not only was the food absolutely incredible, but she gave us a lot of flexibility in how we served the food. She supplied us bartenders and we were able to supply our own alcohol. She was so helpful in the planning (we had no planner) and was able to offer really good insight that we needed. Her staff was so much fun and so professional. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone in the area.

Just a huge shoutout to Debra for a wonderful job for our drop in on May 3rd. Food was amazing and two very particular families were delighted

We had a good experience working with Debra for our wedding. She was very patient while we went back and forth on the menu, offering guidance and solutions. She took time out of her busy schedule to walk through the venue with us + our wedding planner to ensure we had the best setup. We worked with Debra's husband to provide liquor, they were both kind and professional. Our menu tasting at Debra's restaurant was fun and unhurried, generous portions, and we got to meet the chef. The food at the wedding was DELICIOUS, and Debra's staff was fun/chill and remembered our friends drink orders! Thanks again Debra.

Any questions?

We had our son's Rehearsal Dinner at Debra's restaurant and could not have been happier with the venue and food! We held that Welcome Party right after the Rehearsal Dinner in the establishment's tap area. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the long fabulous beer wall! Debra and her staff provided great energy and willingness to help us!

The food was absolutely amazing! Everything was beyond perfect and we loved working with Debra. She got every detail right and made our wedding day special!

There’s no better way to go than Debra G’s Catering! We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for our wedding! The food provided by Debra G’s was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavors that impressed all of our guests. From appetizers to the main course and desserts, every bite was a delight. The presentation and attention to detail in the decoration was also exceptional. The venue was transformed into a stunning space that perfectly reflected our wedding theme. The catering team went above and beyond to make sure everything was set up beautifully and on time. Their professionalism and expertise made the entire process stress-free for us. We cannot recommend Debra G’s enough for their outstanding food and impeccable decorating skills. They truly made our special day unforgettable!

Debra went above and beyond! We had rehearsal dinner at her venue which the food was delicious and staff was very polite then the following day the wedding reception at another venue. The venue for the wedding could not accommodate a stacked 4 tier cake. I baked the cake but was in the wedding. I could not have enjoyed my brothers wedding without Debra! She stepped up and stacked the cake for the wedding so I could enjoy the wedding! She is truly amazing!

We had our rehearsal dinner for my son’s wedding at Pawley’s tap and pour food was amazing and employees were very friendly. I can not say enough about Debra she is so sweet. My daughter had made the wedding cake for my son’s wedding that was being held at Pawley’s plantation and with being one of the bridesmaids it was going to be difficult to assemble the cake the day of the wedding. When we had our rehearsal dinner we were talking to Debra about the situation we had and without any hesitation she had offered to go to the venue and take care of the cake for us so we could enjoy are special day. I just don’t know what would have done without Debra she was an absolute life saver. Thank you sooo much and I would recommend Debra and her company to anyone. Sabrina

We met Debra and her team at a bridal expo and booked her that week! We had a smaller wedding but venue and food were my top priority to make sure my guests had a beautiful setting AND amazing food! Debra Gs knocked it OUT of the park! We did a cocktail hour and buffet style dinner but they served us as the bride and groom which was a really nice gesture! They also plated everyone’s meals for them as they walked through. We had allowed for 65 guests but only ended up with around 50. At the end of the night we had very little food left over because our guests raved about their food and wanted more! Debra and her team were not just fantastic at catering but they were beyond helpful! The bartender was PHENOMENAL! My step dad is still talking about how friendly, warm, and attentive they were. Our youngest son who is 6 was so tired by the end of the night & she grabbed her jacket, sat with him on the little couch, & gave him a shoulder to sleep on. It was the sweetest thing! I couldn’t have asked for a better place to cater our wedding! Thank you so much!

If I could give Debra G more stars I would! We hired Debra G to be our caterer for our Oct 1st wedding. We had already heard amazing things about her and then fell in love at our tasting. Fast forward to our wedding week and here comes Debra to save the day. Hurricane Ian coming Friday made all of our plans change, and we were left without a reception space. Here comes Debra to save the day, she offered us her event space, and then offered us her entire restaurant (Pawley's Tap and Pour). We met with her Thursday to see the space and her question was "What can we do to help". Their willingness to help and their flexibility was just amazing. We honestly couldn't of asked for a better experience at such a stressful time. So not only did she provide us with AMAZING food she also made our day possible! If I lived down there, I would hire her for all of our events! You will not be upset with Debra G! We are so thankful for everything Debra and her team did to make our day so special!

One really important factor for me for our wedding was food! Debra listened to all of my requests and created an amazing menu. We went to our tasting and were absolutely blown away at the quality and taste of the food. I made a few menu changes before our big day and Debra was on board with all of our ideas and revisions. All of our guests raved about the delicious food! I didn’t even get to try any dessert because our guests devoured it!

Using Debra G Catering for my wedding was a decision I did not regret. First of all, the food was amazing. Everyone from the wedding complimented us on how good the food was, even my critical friends that would say nothing instead of giving a false compliment. Once I chose my menu, I did not have to worry about catering again. Debra was able to manage everything and make the food portion a stress free, delicious experience. I'd also like to mention that we chose to have her staff maintain the buffet, serve cake, and serve alcohol. Her staff were professional, set up, and cleaned up. They really made my wedding run smoothly and Debra was great to work with.

We used Debra G catering for our wedding in Georgetown and the food was excellent. It was the best food I’ve ever had at an event, was customized to our liking and her team did an amazing job during the event. I would give them more stars if possible and I recommend anyone having a wedding in this area consider them. If I have any catering needs in the future they’re the first company I will turn to. Debra really went above and beyond for

Debra and her team catered my daughter’s wedding in June. I spoke with several caterers before talking to Debra but I knew I had found the one as soon as I talked with her. Debra jumped right in offering advice on other vendors, websites etc. I knew she was just who we needed since we were doing this wedding planning long distance. We would definitely recommend them to cater for any event you might be having. Debra and her team were professional, friendly and very efficient and she had an entire team on hand to serve our guests as they went down the buffet line. Best of all the food was amazing. We had so many guests comment on how delicious everything was particularly the appetizers.

Debra G catered my wedding in Pawleys Island on 11/20/21 and her team was amazing! Not only did they make amazing food, but they were so wonderful to work with. I feel like Debra and I just clicked, and she was such a joy to have around on my wedding day! Definitely use Debra for your catering needs!

Where do I even start?! Debra G’s Catering is better than I could have dreamed about. Debra and her staff are the friendliest, most loving, and caring people. Debra went above and beyond on my special day and the food was just downright wonderful. People still rave to us about the strawberry fields salad and the award winning shrimp and grits. The food was affordable, the staff was spectacular, and I’m just so incredibly thankful they catered our wedding. I ordered the wrong plates for my wedding. Blame it on wedding stress, or just me being a dodo, but Debra G saved the absolute day by bringing plates she had. She literally saved the day. Her staff also brought our wedding party cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres while getting ready to be announced. They care about their couples. We loved her so much and the food was absolutely amazing. I’ll forever be thankful we picked Debra G for all of our catering needs including bar and alcohol service. Book her team and you’ll never regret it. From the tasting to the leftovers everything was perfect.

We saw Debra and her family and the chef at the Myrtle Beach wedding expo today and let me tell you..... these pictures does no justice. The food we sampled was the BEST out of every vendor there. My kids even loved everything we sampled... definitely will be getting with her to set up something for our event.

I can’t even begin to explain how incredible Debra and her team were to work with. From start to finish everything was such a dream. Debra met with us multiple times throughout the planning process and really worked with us to make sure we stayed within budget but also had such an incredible menu. Her team was so amazing and very professional. The stations at the wedding looked so beautiful and they even made sure to pack extra dinner and dessert for us when the wedding was over. And not to mention the food was AMAZING. We got so many compliments from the guests. Overall they are such an amazing group of people and really make you feel like you’re working with family. We felt so honored to have had them caterer our wedding!

Debra was a dream to work with. She was always there with recommendations about anything and was great to communicate with. Also the food was AMAZING. We loved being able to have our meal cooked at our venue so that it was fresh out of the oven and off the stove. Everything she and her staff did for us was phenomenal!

10/20/2020 • Matney C

We used Deb and her crew for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! Deb bent over backwards to make our event perfect throughout all of the COVID changes. The food was excellent but her service was even better. So thankful for Deb and her crew!

If you are looking for a talented, decisive, and truly compassionate catering team, PLEASE look no further. Deb and her team catered my wedding this past September, and to say I am impressed is a definite understatement. They are professional through and through - providing consistent communication, exceptional food, and incredibly fair pricing. Everything we were charged for was discussed and presented in a transparent manner. All of our guests were loving the food and cocktails throughout the entire event. Speaking of which, Deb does offer a day-of event coordination service, which I would highly recommend, especially if you aren't working with a wedding planner! I should also mention we hired Debra G's catering to cater our rehearsal dinner, and let's just say there were no leftovers - the bbq was fantastic. (-: Not to be repetitive, but if you want stress-free catering, Deb is your lady! WE LOVE HER!!!

Debra G and her Catering team provided a great meal for our wedding guests. Due to Covid19, our wedding event that had been planned for many months had to be cancelled. With just three weeks’ notice, she assisted us in arranging a smaller event at the beach house during our family’s annual Pawley’s Island beach vacation. Debra G brought-in everything that was necessary and transformed our beach house into an elegant restaurant. Everyone loved the food and we even had leftovers to enjoy the following day! Thanks to their service and attention to detail, our family enjoyed the evening and celebrating our marriage. We highly recommend Debra G Catering!

Debra G's entire team is awesome! They catered my daughters wedding this past weekend and the food was amazing. They not only provided the food for the reception, but also for the bridal luncheon, and meals for the bridesmaids and groomsmen the day of the wedding. Due to COVID 19, the wedding venue was cancelled and our number of guests had to be reduced majorly. Deb worked with us through all of the changes, and everything turned out perfect. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Debra G's Catering for your special events.

Omgosh I love Deb and Debra G’s Catering. My new husband and I hired them to cater our wedding in September. We fell in love with Deb at our consult and tasting. She is so sweet, and her food is amazing. Debra G’s Catering also provided the bar staff and wait staff, and all were professional and wonderful. We’ve been repeatedly told by our guests that the food at the reception was delicious, and we could not be happier! Definitely would recommend them to anyone planning any event or wedding!!

Debra G's Catering is the caterer that you NEED AND WANT at your wedding. Deb is the sweetest and her whole staff were amazing. THE FOOD WAS OUTSTANDING! Our guests are still raving about the quality and taste of every dish that we had! She helped us through every step of the catering process. She met with us multiple times for many different food tastings (Which she had almost anything you could imagine available for your big day), and when we finally narrowed it down to what we wanted, she was very quick and efficient in the break down of the costs. She helped us save money any chance she could. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience with Debra G's Catering & we felt like we were part of their family! If you are looking for the right Caterer for your Wedding, I would highly recommend contacting them!
