Can not say enough kind words about high south catering. Wedding food in my opinion (I am so sorry in advance) is always the worst. I was absolutely in love with the food high south catering provided. Our chicken was not dry CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!...

It was warm and juicy and perfection. We also had a lot of gluten free guests and everyone on the team made it a point to make our pasta gluten free (something they don't usually do) and it was absolutely incredible as well. Everyone could not stop talking about the food! I will in all honesty be thinking about the meal once a week because it was that good. It's not often that a bride can share a conversation and laugh with the caterers but I made it a point and was so glad I did. Everyone over at High South was an absolute joy and pleasure to work with and I can not recommend them enough!
