Good Food Catering

ement) until the day prior to the 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.

best food I've had a wedding. They 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.

provide the alcohol while they 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).

one of the places blocked from 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

s and we received tons of compliments on "the best wedding food"! The bar set up was great and no long lines! The presentation was also beautifully done and service was great. I highly recommend Good Food, they also do off-site catering!

ey are more than willing to work with you on anything special you may want.

ar and they were more than willing to work with us. I would definitely recommend Good Food Catering and would use them again!

d chicken, veggies and mac n cheese, along with a little mexican fiesta of shrimp and beef tacos. Their setup was beautiful and I would call on them for any upcoming events I have in the future. They went above and beyond the normal expectations of JUST being a caterer.

cannot have a more perfect background for your photos than the beautiful harbor and boats on the outside, and the inside with it's exposed brick walls, wide planked wood floors, and beautiful tin ceiling. You do not need much decoration to made this place look exquisite...just some candles did the trick for us! I cannot stress enough the beauty here! The experience of planning and having our wedding here was also equally as wonderful. The staff were very thorough and helpful, and great to work with. The only glitch was that our rehearsal that was supposed to be there the evening before our wedding was not able to happen due to another event being planned...and we did not get this information until 4:30 the day of the rehearsal. That was easily rearranged on our part, but was an inconvenience. I would recommend this venue to anyone. Beautiful, pretty affordable, and easy to "glam up" for a wedding without having to spend much money, and the food was AMAZING! Good Food Catering is the catering company that works at the venue, and I have gotten an overwhelming amount of praise for the food. They had a lot of choices for us to pick from, and were willing to customize anything that we wanted. The "total cost of service" that I have selected included all of our food, and alcohol, and we had the ceremony here as well, so it includes that fee too. Overall, we had a blast, and the day was perfect!

us make all the small and big decisions. Thank you Good Food Catering for a wonderful wedding reception!

AWESOME!

azing to work with, she was full of great ideas and helpful advice, tailored the menu to our preferences, and coordinated the day flawlessly. She even helped me work through the few un-foreseen details on the day of. The food portions were huge, and guests were raving about the location and the food. I had read several reviews saying the building can get hot, but for my April wedding the temperatures in the building were perfect, no worries there. I just can’t say enough nice things about GFC and the Rice Mill building!

e very flexible and our event 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!

he food--oh where do I begin? My husband and I both really like traditional lowcountry/southern cuisine and we wanted our wedding menu to reflect this. We had a buffet dinner that was exactly what we'd dreamed of--fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, shrimp and grits, cornbread, roasted pork, and I could go on. Everything was delicious. We worked with Catherine and she was fantastic in helping us design a menu that fit within our budget. She was also very flexible--we went back and forth on the menu and the bar package a few times and she was always very patient and helpful. She also had great advice about colors that work well in the space and she was able to set up all of our rentals for table linens, etc. We were totally pleased and can't recommend the Rice Mill enough.

ttle better to be honest. The wedding food way exceeded the tasting
