The food was fantastic and the wait staff were professional and efficient. I am so grateful to John Ellington and his staff for all of their hard work and delicious food!
John Ellington and his team are AMAZING. During our reception, my husband and I could not get over how great the food was. Food was a very important aspect of our wedding since we both are foodies! Some background of our taste - I always am wary about other people’s reviews of food/restaurants since our taste doesn’t always match most folks. We have a select few of friends we trust in restaurant recommendations! With every friend group we have, everyone gives my husband free reign to order for them. With that, we were unsure we’d be able to meet our food expectations due to budget limitations. The food at our wedding was absolutely SPECTACULAR. We were paired with John via our venue (Waverly Estate) since he is their in-house caterer. We picked the Estate Menu and we added some things like raw and chargrilled oysters, jamon, prime rib, and a crab cake station. The food was SOOOO good. The oysters were better than I asked for (saltiest and briniest), we had some people telling us the prime rib was the best they’ve ever had (a lot of these people are foodies who live in DC), and the crab cake station delivered delicious and HOT crab-filled, crab cakes! We had some guests who ate 10 crabcakes each haha! Fuqua School Catering run by John was so easy to work with. There was no issue with setting up a tasting, unlike other caterers. It was easy and fun working with John to create a menu that my husband and I were excited about. We had gluten-intolerant and dairy free guests and he was able to accommodate them no problem. He provided gluten-free crab cakes, key-lime pie (a must-have!), and dairy free options of dishes, etc, etc. John was great to work with and the execution of everything was spot on. The napkin and utensil set up at the reception looked beautiful. The food displays looked crisp and beautiful. Logistically, every detail was thought out and accounted for. And again, the food was AMAZING!
John Ellington is the epitome of professional. From the moment we hired him, he was so incredibly easy to work with, and I am SO happy we went with Fuqua for catering. The staff was so personable and professional and went truly above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Also, the food was seriously just INCREDIBLE. We are almost a month out from the wedding, and I am still getting compliments on how amazing everything was.
The best food and service. My guests are still raving about the food! John Ellington and staff did a wonderful job. Cocktail hour good was outrageous! Dinner and desserts were delicious. Best flank steak you will eat!
John was super communicative throughout scheduling our original wedding, our postponed covid wedding, and figuring out what to feed and how much we needed. We live in NY so weren't able to come try samples of anything, but all the food was delicious. We went with the buffalo chicken dip and mediterranean platters for appetizers, and the taco bar for dinner. It was super affordable and the staff were very professional.
AMAZING FOOD/SERVICE/overall experience! Would recommend them to any/everyone! We had a small lunchtime reception at a state park, the guests all RAVED about the food! - so flavorful and abundant! (and to think we were concerned finding someone from a "little" town...) THANK YOU John & Company for making it a great day!
Fuqua Catering was very easy to work with and reasonably priced. They were flexible and let us personalize our menu with the food we wanted. They were very accepting of my specific direction on how to set up the tables. The food was delicious. We had parents and grandparents tell us that the food was amazing.
I cannot say enough amazing things about Fuqua Catering! Everything John’s makes is DELICIOUS! We had John and his team catered both our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. Our wedding guests we’re still raving about the food weeks after our wedding stating it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We were also lucky enough to have leftovers to enjoy as well. I highly recommend Fuqua Catering for any event!
We couldn’t have had a better experience with Fuqua Catering. Everything was organized, beautifully prepared, and most importantly, delicious! We still have people raving about the mashed potatoes. A huge thank you to John and his team for making our wedding reception perfect!!
John Ellington, who is the director of operations, is clearly very experienced in what he does. The food was presented very elegantly, and it was so good! We had many compliments on the taste and presentation of our food. He was very easy to work with and offered a large variety of choices. He may be a little more expensive than other caterers in the Farmville area, but I think we got what we paid for! Wonderful job!
