Jeff Thomas Catering

ing was one of our favorite aspects of wedding planning. The JTC touch and details elevated our wedding reception to the next level! Guest couldn’t stop talking about the BEST wedding food they’ve ever had, yet QUICKEST wedding service ever experienced. From handing us our cocktail of choice immediately following the ceremony, to waiting on us throughout the reception and the “to-go” meals for the wedding night, I can’t recommend Jeff Thomas Catering enough. It was a joy to work with the JTC team!

ion and service. A HUGE thank you to the entire team!

ke beautifully. So perfect, personal, and guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was. I’ve been told multiple times it was the “best wedding food I’ve ever had”. They even sent my husband and I with to go boxes!

I asked for. Jeff made a menu that represented my husband and I's different backgrounds. I've received so many compliments on the food! The day of was even better, Jeff arrived early to get the flowers for centerpieces arranged and they were perfect, exactly as we had discussed. The staff were exceptional and ran the day perfectly. I was able to focus on the wedding and everyone around me instead of trying to manage the day. We planned and scheduled everything beforehand and then on the day of we were able to just enjoy the wedding and the staff made sure everything happened. Seriously cannot say enough good things!

r was! I did not have to worry about a single thing at my reception because their staff was one step ahead the entire way. If you are looking for both amazing food and reassurance that your day will run smoothly, look no further than Jeff Thomas and his team.

ll farm to table menu. Many of my guests told us that it was the best food at a wedding they have ever had! I was very impressed that the food on wedding day was so similar to what we had tasted during our tasting a year prior. Lastly, we were able to provide our own alcohol at our venue and Jeff and his team agreed to serve 4 batched cocktails following our family recipes! This was a huge hit with our guests. Overall it was a great experience working with Jeff and would do it again!

o choose from for our wedding and happy hour. We had such a fun time selecting wedding food and our guests enjoyed it! Lastly, Jeff Thomas had the great idea to serve our late-night snack on umbrellas (I promise it makes sense when you see it in person) and it was a hit to everyone after a night of drinking and dancing.

aptain Michelle was awesome and let me text her days leading up to the wedding for information and extra help when I needed it. Jeff himself also hosted our tasting at the venue, as well as provided an employee to help with our reception dinner which was also at the venue (we provided food and drink for that). The caterer also also provided nearly EVERYTHING we needed at the venue: chairs, easel, stand, tables, linens, glasses, plates and even the centerpieces and table numbers. It made things so easy to have all those things in one centralized place to keep track of everything and made my life a little easier. The selection was not huge but I was not picky on what the centerpieces, linen or plate setup would look like bc it would have been so much more of a hassle to bring in outside items. At the end of the day it all looked great so I was glad I didn’t expend energy on those small details. I think the price was fair for everything they provided. We provided alcohol which actually I was glad to do and they made it easy with their recommended provider Uncorked. One thing I would suggest is double checking whether you need all the extra “attendants” on the final list on what you’re paying for. While our bridal attendant was great, I’m not sure it was ultimately necessary (esp if you are looking to cut costs bc of budget constraints). At the end of the day the service went off without any problems and the food was good, as well as the bartending service. I would also recommend tasting all the food options. We didn’t have the chance because we were out of state, and we also scheduled tasting sort of last minute and amid Jeff’s busy schedule. Also Jess who is the point of contact for admin stuff was really helpful and bent over backwards to make sure information was correct and up to date all the way up to the wedding. She always responded to emails promptly and when there was miscommunication (as there is anywhere) it was fixed as soon as possible and without much headache. I would recommend calling directly if things get complicated as it was just easier than the email back and forth sometimes.

favorite we have ever had! The flavors were amazing, everything was just so delicious and on point. Would certainly recommend to any bride and groom looking for a caterer!

team was extremely responsive and easy to work with throughout the process. They also worked beautifully with the venue to make sure that things went smoothly for everyone-especially us! We keep getting compliments on the chicken and short ribs when we hear from our family and friends!! We are by no means wedding experts, but my husband and I had two goals-1. have a fun and fabulous wedding and eat awesome food! We successfully accomplished both of these goals with the help of Jeff Thomas Catering!

h us early in the process to help my daughter and her fiancé pick the food for the cocktail reception and dinner. He made it so easy for them, tailoring the food to align with their theme, Derby Day. Then he invited us to his home to try what they had selected and adjust. Jeff has decades of experience so you can trust him. His wedding coordinator, Jess Marsh, is responsive and professional. Jeff’s service staff was great! Just an overall class act! Now to the delicious food…hands down the best banquet food I have had! Feeding 150 people, Jeff recommended a meal served in parchment paper. Our guests were delighted. Unlike so much banquet food, Jeff’s choice was delicious and came out still hot! The day after the wedding, several guests mentioned to us how much they enjoyed the food. You may be able to find a less expensive caterer, but if your priority is great service and great food, you can’t beat Jeff Thomas Catering!!! Thanks, Jeff, for helping to make my daughter’s wedding perfect! Mother of the Bride

ing to be just right for the big day! He is very easy to work with! I would definitely recommend him!

bit complicated. Jeff’s team thought of every detail and handled each perfectly.. We could not have asked for better food or service! Jess was amazing to work with!! If you would like to ensure outstanding food, exceptional service and beautiful table settings at your wedding, I highly recommend that you work with Jeff Thomas and team!

hat they had us taken care of. We had so much fun, we wish we could do it over and over again. We also received so many compliments on the food and the setup - they go the extra mile with all the little details! We are especially grateful for the late night boxed cake and extra meals-to-go - we crushed the cake at the end of the night.

emorable food experience for our guests was really important to us and Jeff Thomas Catering delivered 100%. Jeff and his team were so great to work with. When you meet with Jeff, you can tell that he truly values providing exceptional food and service and his attention to detail reduced my stress level as a bride. Many of our guests have reached out to us since our wedding day asking who the caterer was and commented on how fantastic the food was. Definitely book Jeff Thomas Catering for your wedding - you won't regret it!!

lent team and we got SO many compliments on the food. They flipped the entire ceremony space into reception space during cocktail hour and it was more beautiful than I imagined. They had a bridal attendant dedicated to us and she was so sweet and helpful. Everything was perfect.

h Jeff, we quickly realized we were dealing with someone who cares. Instead of picking from a prepackaged menu like every other caterer we had met with, Jeff created a menu that was unique to us. It reflected the feel of the wedding as well as our individual backgrounds. We went for a tasting at Jeff's personal home and were blown away by the quality, taste, and presentation of the food. The appetizers, salad, entree, all were top notch. Day of the event, everything ran flawlessly. If there were any issues, they were handled without even being brought to our attention. Every guest at our wedding remarked that this was by far the best food they had been served at a wedding. From staff to food. From start to finish. Jeff Thomas Catering was excellent. Do yourself a favor and contact them for your wedding. You and your guests will be glad you did! I know are!

ed to, from tying ribbons onto each napkin, to providing flowers to match our ceremony on the buffet. The friendly and professional staff went above and beyond in making our reception a beautiful event. Years later, guests still remark on the beautiful day—and the delicious meal they were served. That’s impressive!! Choosing a fabulous catering company is one of the most important decisions when having an event, and Jeff Thomas Catering is without a doubt, a winning choice, with a long-standing reputation for providing exceptional service.

tart to finish - they made our wedding truly magical. I would highly recommend Jeff Thomas and his Catering staff for any event.

s commented how it was the best wedding food and service they have ever had. And I agree! Can’t recommend them enough. My husband and I even had a personal server who gave us champagne right after walking out of ceremony to congratulate us, and kept our drinks full all night. Their service and tasty food can not be matched!

dn't have asked for better people to work with through this two year process of finally getting the wedding of our dreams! We absolutely would recommend The Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum to any couple who is looking to have the wedding they have always dreamed of!
