Amazing Food!
Reviewed on 5/16/2012 Christy HThank you Good Food Catering for such amazing food at my wedding. The quality and presentation was the best in Charleston! Also, thank you for the special "Australian" meat pies. The perfect touch for my husband and his family.
The food was wonderful. I did passed hors d'oeuvres and stations for a day wedding. I also asked for special mini pies. I loved all the food but my favorite was the blueberry mini pie, and it wasn't even on their menu. They really work with you for special orders. I also really... Read More enjoyed the mac and cheese and lobster. Also their caprese salad was so cute and served on mini forks.
The food was wonderful - The service by Jenna (our coordinator), which included a poor and unprofessional attitude, was not. We were told setup was included on the contract (and had discussions about personal table runners and table number placement) until the day prior to the... Read More wedding, in which we were told certain items would not be placed. Her reply was something to the effect of "everyone knows caterers don't do that." I've never been married before and wasn't aware of typical expectations and relied on vendors for specific guidance. I was also confused because the contract stated they do all setup and because we had specific conversations about personal items that she said would be setup. We only had table runners, numbers and favors. I had to ask extended family to run over the morning of the wedding to take care of that. Then the caterers took our bakery items at the end of the reception and bottles of alcohol, which we purchased ourselves and provided. My mom had told Jenna she was going to grab bags to pack up the remainder of cookies (we had out as snacks), to find that they were gone 5 minutes later when she went back with the bags. Nobody claimed they knew where the cookies went. They also didn't serve both flavors of cake, or ensure that there was cake available at all times. We had many guests who didn't get a slice. They also threw out our favors that were on the tables while our guests were dancing. We personally bagged pralines with tags for our guests - not to have them thrown out! I realize not everything goes perfectly, and we expected a minor issue or two to pop up, most of which our guests I'm sure wouldn't realize, but what really stung was her attitude after we addressed our concerns. She disputed every detail and even went so far as to say the florist was talking poorly about me, which A) was completely unrelated and unnecessary and B) was completely surprising - we loved the florist and felt the whole process was easy with the florist! There were no apologies, just disputes and attitudes. With that said, the food was great - compliments to the chef! I recommended if you go with them to ask for someone other than Jenna as a coordinator.
Amazing Food & Bar Service!
Reviewed on 12/29/2015 Arden RWhen you book the Rice Mill, I believe you must use Good Food. It was easier for us at least, so we did and boy was it amazing! Note that the price I listed is also for full bar service for about 160 people. As for the food, it was some of the best food I've had a wedding. They... Read More have a full kitchen onsite so everything was hot and delicious. We had passed apps during cocktail hour of lobster mac & cheese, baby lamp chops & bacon wrapped shrimp and scallops. We then had two stations, one a full Italian station with chicken, shrimp, and 3 sauces and the second was a pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and asparagus. YUM! It was soooo good and Eve at the Historic Rice Mill is so easy to work with. Highly recommend this company for one of your biggest wedding expenses.
Pour it up, pour it up!
Reviewed on 11/23/2015 Cassandra LI used Good Food for food and bar and would recommend to anyone interested. Everyone loved the bartenders! They were so kind, funny, professional, fast, and friendly! Good Food also gives you the option to have a mixer only bar which means you provide the alcohol while they... Read More provide the mixers and the bartenders. We were able to save tons of money this way - just be prepared to get the alcohol to and from the venue (if there is any left over).

My wife and I can not thank GFC enough for what they did to make our wedding night perfect. The flooding from Joaquin made our wedding a little more interesting as a lot of Charleston was blocked off from access due to flooded roads. GFC being one of the places blocked from... Read More access. I don't know what they had to do to get to their kitchen, but they braved the flooded streets to be able to provide the food and beverages at our wedding. This really meant a lot to us and not only that but the services and friendliness of the staff was excellent. On top of that the food was to die for. GFC worked with us up until the last few days of our wedding to make sure the menu was perfect. We appreciate everything they did for us and I will always recommend them to anyone that needs catering in that area. Sincerely Drew and Ally

We had our ceremony and reception there, which was perfect. The food was AMAZING (the catering is in-house which is great since they're affiliated with some of Charleston's top restaurants). As was the service. Our guests loved everything, and couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful the venue was. I can't speak highly enough about the venue, or of Emily Weidle. My wedding was everything I could have wanted it to be.
Thank you so much Julia! It was our pleasure having you and Marcus here at the Rice Mill, and we couldn't be more happy that you had such a great experience and your day was perfect!

Delicious Food, Impeccable Service
Reviewed on 5/04/2011 Julia CEveryone is still raving about how delicious the food was and how impeccable the service was. We had stations set up and they never let the food run out! The wait staff and bartenders were friendly and efficient. I found Good Food Catering to be very flexible and our event... Read More coordinator, Emily, very nice and knowledgeable. They let us bring our own alcohol and mixers, so as far as beverages went, we only paid them for the bartenders (which was a HUGE savings). They coordinated all of our rental items and set up all of our tables, chairs, linens, and placed the centerpieces on the table. And at the end of the night, they packed up a basket with all the leftover food (there wasn't much!), our cupcakes, and two mini bottles of champagne, for my husband and I to take back with us! I think that little special touches like that, throughout the event, really set them apart from other catering companies. They compare with the more expensive companies, but at a much more reasonable price!
Yummmmmm!
