Duvall Catering & Events

We did get feedback from guests that it was some of the best wedding reception food they have ever had!! :)

tals we needed. I wish we had found them sooner, they offer a lot more services. Duvall was extremely helpful and made our day magical and delicious!

nt that the food was the best wedding food they had ever tasted and it was. So very happy with Duvall for making my daughter dream wedding come to reality! Highly, highly recommend.

d.

as abundant staff ensuring timely clean up and restocking. The company was easy to work with while planning and Shelby on site was a champion. We will use them again.

was prompt with all responses and day of, she was flexible and she was so easy to work with. Highly recommend Duvall!!

as a lifesaver when our venue unexpectedly closed 6 months before our ceremony. She helped us find a new venue that fit our needs and budget! The company was very easy to work with and accommodate our schedules since this was a destination wedding. The wait staff, chefs, and food was delicious!

ision perfectly, from the beautiful flowers to the decor. Courtney helped with all the catering, she helped us decide on what food items would be best . They both went above and beyond with helping plan our wedding. If it wasn't for them I don't know what I would of done. The food was delicious, guest raved about it. And the service was amazing as well. A BIG thank you to Duvall, Courtney and Kasey for making our wedding so special and perfect! Will defiantly be using Duvall for any future parties/events.

nstantly moving around. Well worth what we spent. Highly recommend!

known it with how well Duvall was able to execute all of our passed appetizers and our three stations. A BIG thank you to everyone at Duvall for all of the hard work and wonderful food!

worth it to have everything taken care of and worry-free for our wedding!

ithin our somewhat tight budget. Our team, Lauren (planning) and Zoe (decor + floral) were extremely responsive, readily available to meet when we were in town, and very professional. We brought a TON of personal items with us and dropped them at Duvall the day before without a hitch and when I walked into the venue on the day of, it looked exactly how I had envisioned. The ceremony went wonderfully, as did pictures. The team went to tremendous efforts to ensure my husband and I didn't see each other before I walked down the aisle. The biggest disappointment was after our wedding had ended. My husband and I spent the first hour of marriage in our hotel room and on the phone with the planning team and parents trying to figure out how to get our personal items off the premises of the property and being told that anything left would be put in the trash. Given the sheer volume of items brought and limited space to bring back on the evening of the wedding it was clear that not everything could fit. Since we weren't there and all family and friends were on their way home there was little we could do and we felt our hands were tied. The day after it seemed like there could have been a few solutions provided to us quickly [leaving items in a storage area for day after pick up, take back on truck with rented items, etc] that would have been above and beyond the call of duty for our planning team, but would have made an extreme difference to both sides of the family. Overall much of our personal items acquired for over a year for were left at our venue and the morning after missing from the premises. Overall, Duvall makes you feel extremely special, was very responsive, and takes on a lot to make your day what you envision. I thank them for making us feel like our money spent made us feel like a valuable client leading up to our wedding. However, we would reconsider our Day Of package if we had known it was so strict to the time of the contract end so we didn't have to focus on that on the night of our wedding.

decor was beautiful and for the most part exactly as I imagined, however pieces of the design were missing. I will say, the floral was spectacular, I was in love with my and my bridesmaids bouquets particularly!!! However, I was greatly disappointed in the day of coordination. I chose to use the same associate that had helped me design the space as my coordinator. Prior to our wedding day she was wonderful, we finalized the timeline and I thought the day was going to be stress free. That was not the case, practically from the beginning there were issues due to her mismanagement and I ended up missing a key part of our reception because she didn't update our DJ about a change to the timeline and I lost item that was accidentally left at our venue. I would certainly recommend Duvall for your event design and decor, however I would look elsewhere for your day of coordination.

different time zones! Lauren was my coordinator and my main point of contact for Duvall. From day one Lauren was so patient with me and so incredibly helpful, also she is just such a sweet person! She was there to direct us and keep us on time for the wedding and did such an amazing job, I don't know what I would have done without her! Zoe, who does the floral and decor, was SO great, I described to her what I wanted and she just GOT it. The florals were so beautiful and my guest would not stop talking about how great the food was!!!!!!!!!! The service was amazing as well. Lauren, Zoe & Duvall made everything run smoothly and perfectly for the big day and I cannot thank them enough! Duvall literally does it all and I would 100% book them again!

each detail. We have been big fans of all of Duvall''s catering and event design work for year, and we were proud to have them with us for our big day. Everything from our centerpieces to bouquets were executed flawlessly and I would highly recommend them for any event!

auren was also so prompt and helpful! Then after chatting with Zoe I knew I had to chose them for my floral team as well! I got to meet both Lauren and Zoe at our tasting about 6 months before the wedding and knew we'd made the right decision. They were both so friendly, helpful and professional throughout the entire process, making planning my destination wedding way easier than expected! The day of the wedding their team did an AMAZING job, the weather threw a bit of a curveball but they all handled it perfectly. We felt so bad for the staff who were getting soaked between the kitchen van and veranda but they never let themselves seem phased, everything went off without a hitch. The bar staff were great and made sure everyone especially myself, my husband and even my mother were perfectly taken care of. People were also obsessed with our signature Plantation Cocktail! The food was great as expected, especially the late night sliders and fries everyone loved it! My family (who like to think of themselves as food/dessert critics) could not stop raving about the wedding cake! My family members could not stop saying how the cake was the best cake they have ever had (and many have traveled the world)! They were actually disappointed that the baker wasn’t local to us up in MA! When it came to the floral/decor I could not have been any happier with Zoe and her team! I was OBSESSED with my bouquet and the rest of the arrangements! Everything looked so beautiful! I would absolutely recommend Duvall for their catering, bar, floral/decor and cake services!

ne, exactly as the photo we supplied. They also did two floral head pieces that were amazing and beautiful. This was a helpful place for our flowers. I thank them so much for their help. I recommend for flowers and also for any catering. They have excellent food as well.

d I was over my head with the stress alone. And this should be a time of enjoyment for a bride and groom. So Lauren jumped on as my coordinator and with the few pictures I provided her of my vision and my budget, Lauren was able to work with her team and create a fairytale wedding and the wedding of my dreams. From the moss draped chandeliers to the mighty oak tree wrapped in lights, every aspect was perfect and romantic. Duvall delicately dripped ivory fabric throughout the rafters and added moss with vibrant wine and burgundy flowers to the 6 hanging chandeliers. The tablescapes were so delicate and whimsical with scattered branches, candles and lanterns. The food was phenomenal. For the cocktail hour, we chose oysters on the half shell and the antipasto display. The display itself was breathtaking. I didn't want anyone to eat it and mess it up! The display had grilled veggies, charcuterie assortment, assorted cheeses, caprese and crostini. The dinner we chose was buffet style. We chose a herbed pork loin, chicken breast with mushroom cream sauce, a root veggie medley, green beans with garlic and southern baked Mac and cheese. The next day, all people talked about was how fantastic the food was! Lauren even packed us a to go box and we devoured it as soon as we got back to the hotel room! For dessert, we went with a mini sweet dessert display with coconut chocolate truffles, chocolate covered strawberries, peanut butter balls, chocolate mousse in a chocolate cup, mini cupcakes and banana pudding. We highly recommend Duvall for all aspects of your event. The ease of having a one stop shop made my like so easy during those last few weeks and everything turned out just perfect!

zzled with the position. We had very strict dietary preferences on our profile, and when we showed up for our tasting (that we had traveled pretty far for), the meals were not as previously discussed. The chef decided to "try something new" and "go off menu" and ignored all of the notes on our profile resulting in a Bride who was barely able to "taste" anything. This pattern seemed to continue throughout the rest of the planning process; the new account manager could not keep track of her notes and just one week before the wedding was calling to confirm and re-confirm and really had nothing together. It led to some pretty unnecessary last minute stress. As for the Event Design, I was told I'd chat with a designer for weeks, months even. I emailed, and only received a reply once with their design menu. I felt at peace knowing the décor was in the contract, but leading up to the day I was still nervous that I had never personally spoken with the event designer. In my chats with the catering account manager, she continually tried to convince me larger and more tables were necessary for my small wedding. We came to a "happy" medium, but I'm still a bit annoyed that my dessert table looked sparse because of the larger table I felt pressured to put in the space than I wanted. Now, let's talk about the bar. During the reception the Groom asked a cousin to grab him one of the Signature Cocktails; It was pre-dinner serving and a bartender told her he was out of vermouth. Our wedding planner chatted with them and found that the bartender had lied simply because he didn't know how to make The Groom's signature cocktail. At the end of the night, clean up time came. As the Bride, I wasn't there to oversee everything but it seems the cleanup crew kept/threw out the 75 gold chargers we had purchased and brought and somehow misplaced my bouquet (literally heartbreaking). They did end up earning their almost 3 stars, though, because when it came down to the big day the food was delicious, the décor was beautiful. The Bartender was swapped out for one who knew how to make a drink, and people truly could not stop raving about the food.

ry time we came into Charleston we had wonderful meetings with the two of them. People continue to compliment our food, the cake, and the flowers/decor. The food is delicious and the created a cake flavor off the menu for the grooms cake! The flowers were stunning and Zoe listened to what I wanted and did more than I imagined! We would highly recommend using Duvall!

g somewhat last minute! They did a great job with all of my request and would totally recommend to anyone who may be planning out of state and don't want to do all the DIY stuff! They're easy to communicate with through calls and emails! Overall we had a great experience would definitely recommend!

tly. We also had a pretty tight budget, and she was able to make it work without us having to compromise on anything. You can tell that Alicia truly cares for her clients and wants to make sure that they have the best wedding day possible. She gave me tons of advice for my wedding, and answered a thousand questions that I had for her. The food was amazing too- our guests are still raving about it! I highly recommend using Duvall for your wedding- you won't regret it!

y newest idea, find all the rentals I needed for my visions, and make any changes that were needed! Two weeks before our wedding, my fiancé was diagnosed with cancer and several members of my family were admitted to the hospital and were no longer able to attend our destination wedding. During this time Margaret kept me sane and worked with me to come up with new seating charts, even when the count seemed to change daily! She was always so positive and encouraging and we cannot thank her enough for being the glue that kept everything together!

create personalized menu selections! We used Duvall for our catering, bar, cake, floral, and decor. They have everything you need all within the same company making planning soooo much easier! The food was absolutely delicious! I can honestly say that it wasn't your average "wedding food." Our guests were more than pleased and raved about the food - we're still getting compliments from friends and family! The staff was very professional and kept our guests happy, as well. They were also very attentive to my husband and my needs - we didn't have to lift a finger all night! The decor was stunning!!! Everything was so elegant and exactly how I envisioned it! We worked with Zoe for the flowers and she was such a gem to work with. She listened to everything we wanted and was able to produce pictures to make sure everything was just how we envisioned it. She even changed my bouquet from my bridal portraits to the wedding and it was so stunning!!! I can't recommend Duvall enough for all you party and wedding needs! Everyone was such a treat to work with and really made our wedding perfect!

t. Rave reviews on all of our food -- they even were willing to make my great grandmother's meatballs using our family recipe! Our event manager Anthony made us feel like total rockstars! We were never without drinks in hand and food nearby. The decor/florals was similarly beautiful. They are even able to coordinate tent rentals. One stop shopping with top notch attention to detail - thanks again Duvall for creating the wedding of our dreams!

wedding catering AND event needs!!!

. There was even a server with a plate of appetizers waiting for my husband and I to show up at the reception. She stayed with us at the reception with the appetizer plate until it was gone (it didn't take long) to ensure that we tasted the appetizers that night! Amanda did the organization of the catering side of the wedding. She was great to work with and was very organized and knowledgeable. Zoe took care of the décor aspect of the wedding. She knew exactly what was needed to make the venue come to life. It looked phenomenal!. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I would recommend Duvall Catering & Event Design to anyone!

ridesmaids told me that she had never had better food at a wedding. Their mashed potatoes are amazing!!! Zoe was great with helping us to figure out design details and flower arrangements. We had a slight panic on the day of the wedding, because we realized that we didn't specify to send the flowers to the church. After emailing her, she called us back within 10 minutes and rearranged everything. She was very reassuring and fixed everything. I highly recommend this company!

ng was special and important. Once Alicia went on maternity leave and Madison left the companya month or two before our wedding, my husband and I panicked a little... I was then contacted by Zoe Parry. I spoke with her through email and phone and couldn't get down to Charleston until the weekend of our wedding (we live in Charlotte, NC) so we set up a meeting for us to drop off all our wedding items and decor we did ourselves so she could handle getting it to the venue for us. She was wonderful to put aside some time for us to sit down and go through every detail of the catering menu, timeline, floral, decor, vendors and decor items. She didn't miss a thing. She made the extra effort to make me feel completely at ease that everything was going to be taken care of and that I didn't need to worry. The wedding day went off without a hitch (or at least I didn't notice!) and all I had to do all day was enjoy myself with my friends, family and my new husband! I could fully be present for every little moment and she handled the rest. the food was delicious and my guests are still raving about the little mini biscuits with pork BBQ sliders!! I would recommend Duvall to everyone planning a wedding because they are a one-stop-shop. Catering, bar, planning services, floral, decor, rentals, they do it ALL! There is no comparison. Thank you so much everyone at Duvall, you made our special day unforgettable!!

ustomized menu and the service team was not familiar with the foods or flow of the event, leading to a disappointing experience for guests. They probably do a great job if you are working with Duvall's menu, but if you are having them partner with a chef to do a custom menu, they are one of the few companies in Charleston who will do it but be sure to have many prep sessions and be closely involved to ensure that everyone is on the same page.

of it and flexible. The food was delicious and we were even given a to go bag at the end of the night in case we were hungry. I would highly recommend!

ade our day perfect! We had several meetings, tastings, and lots of communication! Janie is our primary contact and she is genuinely excited to help make your vision a reality. Cassi has amazing dessert talent! Our chef whose name escapes me, provided us with the most incredible wedding fare I have ever experienced!! The flowers were gorgeous and fresh! The venue was gorgeously decorated!! Everything was us to a T! Our guests are still RAVING about the food, service and feel of our wedding! Those who we couldn't invite are sad they couldn't come and raving about the photos of the venue! What a compliment! I wish I could post a photo to this review! Everything was gorgeous! There were a few small things that weren't executed as planned, but it wasn't anything that affected how much fun we had or how delicious the food was or incredible service provided. We were the only ones who knew.

wer exceeded all of our expectations. She was incredibly organized and professional, and she made every decision easier and less stressful. Our tasting was amazing and the food at our wedding was just as good as the first time around! Many of our guests told us how good everything was! They also provided vendor meals for us, and my photographer was very complimentary about her vegan accommodations. Duvall also provided us with flatware, dishes, and napkins which made everything so simple! Lastly, they also did our wedding cake and a custom grooms cake for us. I was impressed at their competitive cake pricing and the quality of the dessert! Our fondant design on the grooms cake came out better than anything I could've imagined. I would HIGHLY recommend Duvall.

and listened to what we wanted for our wedding. I was most worried about our food and our cake, as I LOVE FOOD. I wanted it to be delicious and not your typical blah wedding food. They customized for us, gave us exactly what we wanted and more. I really worked closely with Janie and she was so wonderful to work with, always putting my mind at easy and truly listening to what I wanted and needed. They even orchestrated some special surprise things for my fiancé, including a surprise chicken wing bar collaboration with his favorite local wing place (wild wing cafe) and late night delivery pizza in the cutest of personalized boxes for people to take to go! Everyone loved our wedding food, and our guests RAVED about it. It is going to sound crazy but we had tons of people rave about their coleslaw. My husband, who doesn't even eat coleslaw, raved about it from our tasting. We also had them compose a signature cocktail for us that combined my husband and I's favorite things into one drink and it was DELICIOUS. On top of that, they packed us the cutest to go box of all our wedding food and had it in our getaway car, waiting for us to have when we got back to our suite. Thank you so much Janie and Duvall events for all your hard work and dedication, it truly was an amazing night!

belle was fantastic to work with and they really want to personalize your menu. I had two bridesmaids with Celiac and they changed the cracker on an appetizer for them as well as preparing a couple extra GF macaroni and cheese servings. They were so happy with the amount of foods they got to eat on top of the fact that it was so good. They even go above and beyond in the details. She. We did our tasting full portions were cooked to order with the ability to make changes right then and there. When we left that night they packed a bag in our car with a bottle of champagne, two glasses and take out boxes for us to enjoy that night.

INITELY recommend them and use them in the future!

with everything. Everyone thought the food and drinks were fantastic, and the flowers were beautiful! All the other vendors we worked with were always happy to hear we were working with Duvall. Our wedding wouldn't have come together without them!

The food, including appetizers and the meal, was excellent and our guests raved about it during and after the wedding. We also used Duvall for decor and Ashlynn made our vision come to life. My daughter was in awe when she walked into the reception and saw how Ashlynn had worked her magic on the room. The appetizer plate for the groom during photos was a lifesaver, and the bridal basket after the reception was most appreciated. All in all, we were very happy in choosing Duvall!

ING and ANYTHING. My mom and I went for the tasting and the food was fabulous. They worked with me and my hate of chafing dishes (as a former caterer I am convinced they have a vendetta against my fingers) and we compromised and used cast iron for everything. After serious conversation we also decided to go with Duvall for all of the rentals, flowers, and Day of Coordination services. Overall I was pleased with how my wedding turned out. I had some issues with the bartenders over serving people, pouring shots when we were told that would not happen, and displaying a tip cup when we specifically asked not to. Also one of the bartenders seemed either really confused, or drunk (probably the latter since I found out that a few guests had shots with him) which was a little upsetting as I purchased the alcohol. They forgot napkins during dinner, and only had one spoon or serving device for each station backing up the line a little. The food however was incredible, and we even were given a bag to take back to the hotel with us with extra goodies. They worked well with any and all dietary restrictions that our guests had. So overall: Be prepared for some serious sticker shock, and just hope that you don't get that one bartender. You will be absolutely thrilled with the food and the coordination services.

d the manager were wonderful and very nice. I could not have asked for anything better. If I ever have another event in Charleston, I will absolutely use them again. They even sent my husband and I home with a doggy bag including appetizers, 2 dinners, and champagne including glasses and utensils. Words cannot describe how absolutely amazing this catering company was.

rful (everyone seemed to agree that the food was the highlight of the evening), the drinks were great, and the staff was all excellent. Isabelle Donovan was our event coordinator. She was absolutely wonderful start to finish. She was attentive, prompt with returning emails and phone calls, and also helpful in keeping our stress level down!! Thanks so much for helping us pull off a fantastic wedding in 12 weeks! :)

le to use Duvall for food, bar, dessert, rentals, decor, and flowers. We also rented the AV equipment through Duvall. Being able to keep everything through one vendor made our lives so much easier. The food and desserts were awesome and the decor was beyond what I could have ever dreamed of. We are not from Charleston and when we had some concerns over the cake they even shipped us cake samples free of charge. I would highly recommend using Duvall for all of your event needs!

id i need the event planning service since I had it all laid out in my mind & wanted to be a in charge of the planning. Being I did not need the Planning service I was told I Could not use the catering services. Kinda snobby.

ovided for our guest. Otherwise the food was awesome, staff was great and the wedding cake far exceeded our expectations after the tasting. Tasting cake was dry, and wedding cake was incredibly moist and delicious :) I would definitely recommend Duvall as they truly are a one stop shop that provided almost all of our items for the wedding service and reception.

imp and grits, sliders, carving, pasta station, dessert, and coffee bar. We had a cocktail hour with a lowcountry display and a specialty cocktail. All of it was AMAZING!!! Shannan at Duvall was a BLESSING! You will not regret using them!!! PS we even had a very PICKY eater (as in-usually complains) come over and tell us it was nice to "have good food and get full at a wedding!" Best decision we made!!!!

esponsive and helpful throughout all those months of planning (even through her own wedding!). I know working with me solely via email was not ideal and I really appreciate the timeliness and detail of your responses. You made being a out-of-town bride so easy! I received so many compliments on the food at the wedding. A few even said it was the best wedding food they ever had! I could not have been happier hearing that. My one regret was not getting to taste everything (I think I had most things which I guess is still winning since everyone told me I wouldn't eat at my wedding- I ate!). We are just looking at the pictures now and I can really see Duvall's hard work. Thank you so much!

ng so beautifully, were very prompt with responses, were very patient and very kind, and we had a fantastic tasting to boot! I have an autoimmune disease that limits what I can eat and they were able to work around that with no trouble at all, offering what many of our wedding guests told us on the night (and since) was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding, and many said the chocolate cake was one of the best they'd ever eaten (and none of them realized it was gluten free!!!). My husband particularly loved the mini-pies. Oh, and the staff on the night was fabulous too. They really took care of us and of our guests, and we felt like they actually cared about taking care of us and making the event go as well as it could. Duvall had some challenges to overcome in the space we chose and in its manager, and they seem to have handled them all without any hiccups- and we are so very grateful!

d I our both foodies and wanted the food to represent us both and our heritage. They captured it perfectly and made the tweaks we requested during our tasting. The displays were great and the layout ensured the flow was good and lines non-existence. They thought of every detail even with the basket they gave us when we left.

s a great coordinator, Shannon is a lovely designer and Alicia was great at helping pull all things together!! Thanks girls!! Oh, and the food was amazing, people are still raving about it!

Alicia and Shannon were a pleasure to work with and the final result was magical. They built on my ideas and made our big day absolutely incredible. One of our biggest priorities was having great food; Duvall's food is unbelievable (our guests were raving about it the whole weekend). My husband and I were also extremely grateful for Duvall's adaptability- we provided transportation for our guests to and from the venue, but the bus broke down before it reached the hotel to pick up the guests; as such, our wedding was delayed for over an hour. The service staff adjusted to the delay seamlessly and graciously stayed later to make up for the lost time. I cannot say enough about the staff; every single individual provided impeccable, friendly service from start to finish. Thanks to Duvall, our wedding was more than we could have ever hoped for.

ich was also amazing. Our hors d'oeuvres were a fried green tomato with a sauce on top, shrimp cocktail, fig with a gorgonzola mousse, and pork and cheese biscuits. They were all delicious! Very happy with our choice in caterer.

nd I would definitely work with them again on any kind of event, not just weddings. Thanks for your help ladies and for making my wedding day so wonderful; I loved all the décor, the flowers were so pretty and the set up was perfect!!

hough I know they were busy with many other weddings and events besides mine, their focus and attention to detail to mine made me feel like I was their only client. The flowers and decor came-out exactly how I had been envisioning - better, even! - and I am still hearing rave reviews of the food more than a month later! They even packed some of the leftovers in a picnic basket and had it waiting for us in our getaway car, so that we could have a late-night snack when we arrived at our hotel :) I would highly recommend using Duvall to anyone planning any type of event, and will be sure to use them again in the future if the occasion arises!

her places, in addition to labor set up. May want to go to rental company directly. Just depends on what services you need.

bring a mobile kitchen since the venue didn't have one. They were willing to work with me on prices and really helped me create the event and make it unique, not just picking something off of a list. We wanted to have a southern-themed wedding, so we had a buffet of shrimp & grits, southern bbq, etc. The food was AMAZING, everyone loved it. Even the northerners that have never had grits loved the shrimp & grits. The price is reflective of everything they provided.

! They can work with any budget and I would recommend them again and again for any wedding! Top notch service!

y helpful. The food was displayed beautifully and my guests raved about how delicious everything was. (The sushi was awesome!) I was a little disappointed that one of the desserts that I wanted wasn't there (my favorite cream puffs) and also with the bridal to-go basket. But those are pretty insignificant compared to what my guests will remember and how great everything was overall. I would absolutely use Duvall again.

Alicia was so great to work with throughout the planning process and was always so great with answering the many questions we had!

e cake and throwing the bouquet. They were incredibly professional and took my vision of the reception and made it reality. I would recommend Duvall for weddings and every other kind of catering event.

overs because no one would quit eating!!

replace attendants and traditionally perfect Charleston cuisine. It was also such a huge help to find a wonderful caterer that also provided everything from overall space decor down to linens and food station name cards. Having one great vendor provide it all made it so much easier!
