Chef Karl and his team catered for our wedding in Blairsville a few weekends ago. He was highly recommended by the owner/coordinator of our venue. When we initially reached out, Karl and his wife were very helpful as we went back and forth on a menu. They were very patient with us as we are foodies and wanted to have the best of the best at our wedding. When we went to visit Karl for a tasting, he and his team were so kind and accommodating. We initially bonded with him because we had similar tastes in music :) It was a sign that we had to use Epic Catering for our special day! Karl and I went back and forth for months on renting plateware, changing proteins, you name it and he made it happen. He even delivered the plateware a few days early so my wedding coordinator could set up the reception hall. Talk about bending over backward to make our special day perfect!
Every single one of our guests complimented the flavor of the food. A handful of them said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! My husband and I took one bite and we were blown away. We are probably the only couple that actually ate dinner at their wedding :)
We cannot thank Karl and his team enough! They were so kind and made sure we had everything we needed. Even our guests mentioned how nice they were. I don't think we could have chosen a better team to cater on our special day.
Thank you all so much. We will forever be grateful!
Super sad for this to be our first wedding vendor rating. My fiancé and I have been very excited to start the wedding planning process, and one of the things we were most excited for was booking a catering company. We are huge foodies and we are quite excited for the tastings and picking what we would share with our guests on our special day. We are getting married in North Georgia, and the most suggested catering company was Epic! I was so excited. I had visited their website, and read everything before reaching out. I reached out through this app because I'm trying to keep all the wedding planning in one place. Perhaps they don't like communication on here... but I would've been happy to switch to something else, they just needed to say that. The conversation happened over the course of 8 days! Now, that would be fine if we got anywhere... But 8 days was for three, 1-2 sentence texts. Now, I fully understand that companies are busy, but something really rubbed me the wrong way about these texts. The 1st text was dry and uncaring. Every other vendor I've been in contact with was warm and made me think they wanted to work with me, their's was just dry and honestly rude. I am an adult and I know to look at someone's website, we wanted to talk with a human... not keep staring at a website. The 2nd text was after I said I wanted to book a tasting. I sent the text during business hours (which I knew from looking at their website before and after they requested me to) and I was still super excited despite the dry first text. They responded just saying this must be done during business hours (which it was) and the pricing... Which once again we knew from the website. My fiancé also has access to this app, and because of this I know I'm not just being a Karen. When I got home that day without me saying ANYTHING about the way I felt, he goes "That Catering place sure is sweet and caring... aren't they?" For context he said it extremely sarcastically. We were now kind of frustrated. We werent going to respond but at this point, I just wanted to see just how rude the company was. I responded showing my frustration. I told them I just wanted to schedule a tasting again. They responded again rudely days later. They told me we need to schedule weeks in advance... I know tastings would be scheduled in advance. Not to mention our wedding is on 8/7/24... over a year and a half away. Honestly Epic seems like they have extremely tasty and amazing food. I still am sad we will not be working with them. If that's all you care about and you can take crappy service, go with them, but if you want to have a conversation with someone without having to pull teeth and feel stupid, don't deal with these folks. Maybe this was a one off, but they've left a super bad taste in our mouth! 🤷♀️
The food and service by Epic Catering for my daughters wedding was beyond outstanding! Since it was a semi-destination wedding, all the guests were from out of town and all over the country. Everyone was raving about the food. I don't even eat Trout, but their's was so good I didn't even know I was eating fish! Thanks Epic
We chose Epic Catering for our outdoors wedding in GA. Everything from the testing and meeting with the chef to placing the order, delivery and set up went smoothly and was stress-free. The owners were super friendly, knowledgeable and offered great advice and suggestions. The food was absolutely delicious. The wild mushroom and potato pierogies were a huge hit!
ill not work with you
We were referred to epic catering by our venue because we were told they are flexible and would work with us since we do not live in Georgia. We tryed to booked a tasting they insisted it had to be on a Sunday witch I told them we probably couldn’t do that but they didn’t want to work with us. So I reached out again making sure we could be in town on a Sunday for them to throw up the fact I couldn’t have made the first tasting and they have booked that date. So heads up out of town brides this is not the person you want for your wedding
Karl and the staff at Epic Catering were amazing! They were prompt communicators leading up to our wedding and were flawless the day of. The quality of the food pleasantly surprised us, as we hadn't been able to come in for a tasting. We went with a few appetizers and the N. Georgia barbecue. They were able to work within our budget and when our guest list came back well under what we estimated, they were flexible and were able to add another appetizer and lower the overall cost. People are still talking about those pretzel rolls and the servers were super attentive and professional. Thank you thank you thank you!
Epic Catering did my Hallo-Wedding in Oct 2018 and they did a great job! The food was delicious and even though I just wanted heavy hors d'oeuvres, they were totally agreeable and helped me select the best, easily transportable food, lol. They also helped me design kid friendly food since we had like 30 kids at our ceremony. Everyone thought the food was awesome. Catering is pretty limited in North GA/SW NC, but Epic nailed it.
We had a vegetarian wedding and we were nervous about finding a quality caterer in north Georgia, but Chef Karl was amazing! Even though he said he'd never done a veggie wedding before, people were raving about how great the food was and multiple people told me after the wedding that it made them want to cook everything vegetarian =) Thank you Epic Catering!!!
Our wedding food was absolutely delicious! I am a very picky eater but I wanted to like my wedding food and not just pick something to please the guest! Karl helped me pick the perfect meal and everyone let us know how yummy our dinner was that night! Karl had the best food that we tried and he was even the best price! We loved Epic Catering!
Epic Catering did such an amazing job for our wedding! The food was amazing and the guests all commented on how delicious it was. Karl worked with me throughout the entire process so we could create the wedding of our dreams. We picked the BBQ menu and added a few appetizers to be passed around during the cocktail hour! Everything was so good and the servers provided did everything to make sure our guests were taken care of. Karl also added a couple of extra servings for our vegan guests and they were blown away with how delicious their food was. I can't thank Epic Catering enough for their great service and tasty food!
Epic Catering surpassed our every need and provided a stellar experience for our wedding, from planning stages to the day of. I would highly recommend Epic Catering to anyone planning an event or wedding in the north Georgia area.
Karl was very responsive in communicating with us about any questions, menu edits, logistical questions and last minute items. He even went to the venue ahead of time to scope it out and make sure he was prepared for our big day.
Karl's pricing and services were clearly communicated and very reasonable - my bride and I feel that we got a great deal for our money.
Now, on to the food - Chef Karl has fantastic tastes, and we absolutely loved the food he prepared for our wedding. From the appetizers to the main buffet, and from the drink station to the manned dessert station, the food was delicious and presented beautifully. Many of our guests commented on the quality and variety of the food, and went back for seconds and thirds! He also was more than willing to work with us on a menu that suited us, as well as make great suggestions to complement main items we had selected.
Long story short, you will not regret having Epic Catering handle your event. Thanks Karl and Ellen!
