From the beginning, Emily and the team at Laurenda's were outstanding. Emily was our main contact and she was responsive, encouraging, and so helpful. Somehow, our food at the wedding was even better than it had been at the tasting! And their professional manner, efficiency, and beautiful display for our reception food was just top notch. I could not recommend Laurenda's more highly; even our guests were raving about the food WEEKS after our wedding! Book Laurenda's for your wedding if you haven't already--you won't regret it!
We used Laurenda's for our wedding and it was fantastic! From our initial consultation to eating at our wedding, we were highly satisfied with our food service and blown away with the quality we received for the cost of services. When we went for our consultation, we instantly had a feel for the small family restaurant. Then, we took a bite of their food and we were sold on using them for our wedding as their food is delicious. Laurenda's took care of the food, linens, china, water goblets, silverware, and buffet table floral arrangement. We received so many compliments from our guests on how delicious the food was! We had a semi-formal wedding and served BBQ, mac and cheese, potatoes, coleslaw, baked beans, rolls, and cheese biscuits. Our guests, my husband, and myself absolutely loved all of the food and were impressed with the quality of service from Laurenda's on the day of our wedding. Thank you!!
We loved their service sooo much! We worked closely with Amanda who walked us through the whole process. At every step of the way, Amanda made sure that all our needs were met, gave us honest advice and opinions, and the food was phenomenal. They came with their own decorations that perfectly matched our decor/theme. Amanda kept us fed, and watered through the whole ceremony, and when we left we had a picnic basket with a bunch of our goodies to go. Everything was perfectly planned out and we felt so loved that day. Thank you so much for all that you did. I cannot more highly recommend this caterer for anything and everything.
Amazing service & delicious food!! Laurenda’s Crew was amazing to work with! Amber & Chad were so helpful and thoughtful throughout our wedding planning & the day of our wedding! They were great at communication & the most caring group of folks!!! I absolutely love Laurenda’s Restaurant & now I love love love their catering! I will definitely use Laurenda’s Catering in the future!
I can't say enough great things about Laurenda's!! They worked with my budget, were super friendly, and were very professional. They never gave me a thing to stress about! The food was terrific, many people got seconds and thirds and never ran out of food.
We had a simple outdoor Rehearsal dinner featuring a Taco bar, fruit bar and dessert bar. Amber and the staff set up a beautiful masterpiece of culinary delights! We asked for vegan options and dairy free desserts. Amber, the chef & staff did an excellent job fulfilling our request. The food was delicious and plentiful. From our first contact with Amber until our last, she was extremely helpful and efficient. I highly recommend Laurenda’s catering ! You will not be disappointed!
We had 2 sons get married in 2022 and Amber and the entire Laurendas team catered our Rehearsal dinners. We were familiar with Laurendas and expected great food and were not disappointed. They exceeded our expectations in food quality, presentation and decorations. Don’t let that modest building on Line Street fool you. These hard working folks can do it and make it look easy.
Amber and the other staff from Laurendas went the extra mile to make sure our rehearsal dinner was everything we wanted. The food and service they provided was wonderful! They were very professional and even helped us set up some of our personal decor. Thank you to Laurendas!!!
Worth every penny! The food for my daughters wedding reception was exceptional. Chad was wonderful to work with during the planning process and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Would definitely use them again.
The entire staff of Laurenda’s are among the best people I have met. From start to finish the entire process with everyone at Laurenda’s has been more than I could ever ask for! Every single detail was executed by Laurenda’s exactly the way that my daughter’s wanted and the food was absolutely amazing!!! The entire staff pure the heart and soul into meeting the need of their customers with amazing food and amazing service that simply warm your soul!!!
Thank you so much Laurenda’s for all that you are and all that you have done !!!
Laurenda's was absolutely the best. From first meeting to the end delivery Amber and her team was the best. They made the process so easy. The service at the wedding was flawless and the set up and presentation were truly impressive. The selection of the cheeses and fruit was over the top amazing. We selected the chicken strip, roasted potatoes and corn. Wow is all I can say. If you are looking for caterer that will not let you down nor break the bank then you need Laurendas. Amber was the best host and ensured our meal went off without issues. They handle the clean up and boxing afterwards as well which was a nice treat. You won't be disappointed
We absolutely loved having Laurenda’s cater at our wedding! They were highly recommended so we did our tasting and was SO impressed. Amber and her team were amazing and we couldn’t have asked for better! The guest were raving over the food! We HIGHLY recommend for your next event!!!
I had been to several receptions Laurenda’s catered so when we were planning our daughters wedding, I did not even bother to talk to anyone else. In fact, as the grooms parents were out of town and asked for my input, I suggested they call Laurenda as well. So we had great meals for rehearsal as well as wedding reception. From planning with Chad to day off with Amber, it was a great experience as well as a great meal. If there were any hiccups, I never knew it! Amber took care of everything professionally and kindly. She and her crew set up everything exactly as I asked on the dining tables. They also did a lovely job on the tables for the appetizers and buffet. It looked beautiful and tasted wonderful. Amber really was a joy to work with. Thanks to all at Laurenda’s!!!
Absolutely wonderful from the planning process to day-of execution. The consistency in quality of food for 200 people was spot on. Amber, Chad, Laurenda and the entire staff are fabulous to work with.
You are seriously missing out if you don’t have Laurenda’s catering your wedding! They catered both our rehearsal and reception dinner, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about them. First off, every meeting we had with them we were treated like wedding royalty. Amber specifically helped us, and I never felt worried or concerned because she on was on top of it! She became more like family after all of our meetings and the wedding. We had a taco bar for the reception, which was not only fun but delicious as well! Our family and friends were asking if they could get this at the restaurant they loved it so much. For cocktail hour, I HIGHLY recommend their charcuterie table! They create a beautiful layout of a variety of cheeses, meats, fruit and more. It was the perfect transition to the reception. Now for the reception food.. we still have people commenting on how wonderful the food was! And I have to agree 110%! Everything was fresh, seasoned perfectly and there was plenty for everyone. We did a buffet style and Laurenda’s decorated the tables they used with gorgeous floral arrangements in our color scheme. It’s such a thoughtful gesture and one less thing you have to worry about having to decorate. It’s hard to eat on your wedding day, but no worries, Laurenda’s makes you a yummy basket with ALL the food! And good portions too so you’re definitely not going to bed hungry. If you want a caterer who treats you like you’re apart of the family, you need to call Laurenda’s ASAP and ask for Amber! You won’t regret it!
Laurenda’s catering was spectacular!! Everyone of the staff members were just so polite and helpful, Laurenda herself cooked the food for our tasting. The southern style buffet with fried chicken, mac and cheese, squash casserole, green beans , and a few other delicious southern sides!!! Amber was very kind and helpful with getting everything set up for our big day!! Amber and Chad and the rest of the staff did a wonderful job from day one through our wedding day!!! Highly recommend this place, just go by on a Sunday lunch and you will see what the fuss is all about !!!!
Laurenda's did such an amazing job with our wedding! We had a southern BBQ theme and all of our out of town guests loved it! Laurenda's was very accommodating and responsive! The staff went above and beyond during our wedding and everything was run smoothly! We loved working with them and look forward to visiting them at their restaurant in the future!
Laurenda is the SWEETEST!! She had a great variety of choices at an awesome price point. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how great the food was! We are so happy we used them for our catering needs!
Where do I begin? Laurenda’s has not only the MOST delicious food but the staff are amazing. Amber and her team made my wedding so special. From gorgeous flower arrangements for the food tables, to cake cutting and cleanup. Laurenda’s makes you feel like you’re the only bride they have but truth is, they have hundreds of brides and the fact that I was able to get them for my particular wedding date was short of a miracle. They even made a large basket filled with all the food from the reception so my husband and I could actually eat later that evening. Literally could go on and on but story short, they are the best of the best!!!
We loved Laurendas!
They were so helpful and were able to accommodate everything I wanted! They brought extra decor and they decorated the food tables to match our colors which was beautiful. They ran everything so smoothly and it was all so delicious! I highly recommend Laurenda’s for catering at any event, they do the best and make sure you get what you want. Could not have asked for a better wedding caterer!!
Laurenda's Restaurant & Catering catered our wedding this past April, and everything was just perfect. We got so many complements on the food; it was absolutely delicious! The staff is so nice to work with, and getting everything coordinated with them is so easy. They have a huge selection of food to choose from, and you can set up your menu however you want to. They also decorate their own tables at the event! You just tell them what your colors and florals are. Everything is very professional. Highly recommend. Would have them cater again in a heartbeat.
My husband and I loved using Laurenda's Catering! We got married on February 19, 2022. We had tacos at our wedding and loved it! Our guests are still talking about good the food was! I would recommend Laurenda's Catering to anyone. We really enjoyed doing a tasing before the wedding to get an idea of what we wanted. We couldn't have been happier with the food and everyone we worked with during the process!
Laurenda’s catered our wedding in March of 2022 and we could not be more thankful for them! We originally booked them to be our caterer back in December of 2020, and they made the entire process all the way through absolutely wonderful. Their staff is so dedicated to ensuring that a couple’s big day goes absolutely flawlessly when it comes to the food they selected. Not only is their food absolutely delicious (we still have people who attended talking about it) but the detail they put into their presentation to ensure it fits your wedding vision is spectacular! Amber, Chad, Laurenda, and their entire team were wonderful to work with from start to finish. At the end of the night they created a box with all of our menu items for my husband and I to enjoy back at our hotel. No detail was overlooked. I would highly recommend them to any couple searching for the perfect caterer!
Best food ever! We loved our dinner at our wedding. Everything was perfect from the food itself to the display. We highly recommend them.
Laurendas went above and beyond for our wedding. We had several texts after our wedding commenting on how incredible the staff and food were. Chad and Amber both made sure that my husband and I had food for after the wedding since we didn’t have much time to eat during the reception. I highly recommend to any bride. Their menu selection is incredible and their display is gorgeous.
Laurenda’s catered my daughter's wedding last fall. We could not have been more pleased. Not only was their food delicious, but their presentation was absolutely beautiful. The whole process went so smooth from the planning, taste testing, to setup, serving, and cleanup. The staff was so wonderful as always, and I could not be happier with how everything went. If you are looking for a caterer, look no further!
Unfortunately, this is the one wedding vendor that I will NOT be recommending. We paid for enough for for more than were at our wedding and still ran out with about 20 people not fed. That is unacceptable considering how much we paid. I expected a lot more from the team and Laurendas and entrusted my wedding day food in their hands, biggest mistake looking back. We paid for a buffet style (recommended by them) with beef tenderloin, shrimp and grits, 3 sides and a salad. I was told after that self serve is “risky” and that my guests we’re getting “more than normal” and that is why we ran out. So be careful when you go with their recommended buffet style and make sure people are allowed to have more than 2 shrimp for $43 a person. The staff was pretty young and not the most experienced in my opinion. If people were supposed only have two shrimp then they should have told me and I would have paid for more or they could’ve served it so at least everyone could’ve had some. They did bring in some chicken tenders towards the end to try to make up for it, better than nothing but not what I paid for. I was told over and over again that there would be plenty of food and leftovers so I thought planning for a just few more guests than we had was overkill, but I was wrong! The food still tasted good from my perspective (wish everyone could’ve tried it) so that is why I am throwing in a couple stars. A couple of other things to note: if they do your wedding the day after another one at the same venue ask for new table cloths on the food tables & if it’s prom season you may need to specify that you would not like people there taking prom photos less than an hour before you walk down the aisle :)
This vendor was spectacular!! My husband and I cannot say enough good things. We had barbecue at our wedding and one of the top comments we received from our guests was on how good the food was. There was no stress or hassle with communication with Laurendas. The staff were so incredibly helpful, kind, and took away any stress related to catering on the wedding day itself. Laurendas served our guests, were incredibly professional, and offered us a warm congratulations. Their food melted in your mouth and every staff member was kind and joyful! If you’re needing a caterer - use laurendas. You will not regret it.
We hired Laurenda’s for our October wedding, everything was absolutely phenomenal! Laurenda and her staff go above and beyond for their customers! The food was absolutely amazing and all of our guest keep talking about how wonderful it was. We highly recommend Laurenda and her team.
We hired Laurenda’s for our October wedding and could not have asked for a better caterer! They made the entire process so easy and came up with wonderful ideas that made our day perfect. When designing our wedding menu, they helped us pick the perfect traditional dinner as well as a fun taco bar for a late night snack! The florals and presentation of the food was perfection and they even made sure to match the color palate from my florist and wedding planner. On top of all of this, the food was delicious!! People are still talking about how wonderful everything was 6 weeks out. Cannot recommend Laurenda’s and their entire staff enough!
I could not have asked for a better caterer for my wedding in April, 2021. They did an outstanding job from the food to the table decorations that matched the rest of the decorations. All of the servers were so pleasant, and Alyssa was SO easy to work with. She made all of the nerves go away leading up to the big day. I would highly recommend Laurenda's for anyone's big day!!!
Laurendas catering is amazing. They catered our wedding on 9-18. We had a sliders bar (burgers and chicken tenders) and shrimp & grits for our main course. Everyone raved about everything! My husband was worried that the shrimp and grits would be tough, but they were some of the best I’ve ever had! The mini burgers tasted like someone stood at the grill. The chicken tenders were still crispy. For our sides we had green beans and mashed potatoes. Both fantastic!! You can tell the passion that goes into the food. Chad and his crew were wonderful!! They even set up flowers to match! They also packed a little Togo basket. I could not have picked a better company. I would 1000000% recommend them to anyone.
The food was amazing!! Everyone raved all night about how wonderful the food was. The staff made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it from day one. They also packed a picnic basket for us at the end of the night, which was so very sweet. Choose Laurenda's for your wedding, you will not regret it!!
We are so happy we chose Laurenda's to cater our wedding. The decorations they brought for the buffet tables were lovely. The food was absolutely amazing and the people were super helpful, they even offered to help us watch our dog for a bit. For cocktail hour we had their pretzel bar which was a big hit! We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID and they were very understanding and flexible. Would definitely choose them again!
I am so thankful we went with Laurenda's catering. Her staff was wonderful! The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and attention was given to detail. They are professional and their many years of experience are evident. I would recommend them to everyone!
From day one, Laurenda’s was set on making sure our wedding food was exactly what we wanted. We were able to combine and customize their elements from their “stations” menu with items from their “buffet” menu to make sure we had the perfect combo to fit our personalities. They allowed us to taste and tweak the menu ahead of time and were so helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. They literally had every last detail figured out. Their presentation and staff were top notch and so professional, and our guests loved all of our selections. Great quality food and people, and it shows through their work and their reputation throughout the community!
We couldn’t have chosen a better caterer for our wedding! Laurenda, Alyssa, and Chad were so easy to work with and helped us put together exactly what we wanted for our menu. Chad was so helpful in offering suggestions and including special items we wanted to have. They were so sweet and treated us like family throughout the process. Everyone kept saying how delicious everything was and it was such a nice touch to have the picnic basket to go at the end of the night! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for amazing food and service!
If you're looking for the best caterer a girl could ask for, look no further! Laurenda and her team did a flawless job at our wedding despite new restrictions/rules put in place due to COVID-19! They took care of all things food and drinks and even displayed their product beautifully and safely. They have the absolute BEST tasting food and are the easiest people to work with! 10/10 would absolutely recommend to any and everyone!
Laurenda's was amazing throughout the entire process; from booking through the big day. The staff at Laurenda's is personable, friendly, and down to earth. The prices are fair, and the food is amazing! Everytime guests speak to me about my wedding they always mention how amazing the food was! I highly recommend Laurenda's for any event!
Laurenda's is by far the best around. They worked with me through rescheduling the date due to COVID-19, made sure to follow protocols and are some of the nicest people in the industry. The food was delicious and their service is incredible. The staff that worked our event made their tables look stunning with their own decorations and personal touch. I highly recommend Laurendas for anything you need! Go visit their restaurant in Greer, SC too!
I will forever be glad we went with Laurenda's for our wedding day! Chad was hilarious and fun, but also did an AMAZING job on our food. My grandmother passed away a few months prior to our wedding, so I wanted to use her pancake recipe, and they replicated it perfectly. It felt like she was there that day, which meant the world to me. Our wedding was almost a month ago but I'm STILL hearing from guests about how amazing the food was. You will only regret NOT using Laurenda's for your big day so CHOOSE THEM. They are hands down the best around!
Best food + best selection + best presentation + best service + best pricing = Laurenda's Catering, the best catering choice you can make!!!! Laurenda's catered my daughter's wedding at the Zen on 2-29-20, and everything was perfect! All our guests left fat and happy!
I may be a little biased, but this crew and the food they provided were top notch! Guests from our wedding are still gushing over how delicious everything was and how much food we had!! We had a chocolate fountain that made appetizers to dessert a BLAST and not just for the little kids! We had several different food options for everyone to choose from and I sure got a sampler of all things!! We rented china through them and everything was set up and bussed effortlessly! Truly made for a gorgeous night and a fairytale wedding come true. I would recommend them a thousand times over!
Laurenda and her team catered my wedding. They were very professional, but also gave you a sense of family. Their food was amazing. We had their grilled chicken, and roast beef. Our families are still talking about how great the food was. I also love that Laurenda packs the Newlyweds a basket of food to go. With all the people we visited with we didn't get to eat much so that meal came in handy! Such a great idea! Thank you again for the beau experiences!
Laurendas was amazing for our wedding day! We had the taco bar and for weeks everyone kept telling us how amazing the food was. The tables were decorated to perfection and matched our venue and other decorations. They were so easy to work with and made sure everything was exactly want we wanted. Would definitely recommend to anyone for their wedding!
Excellent service from start to finish. From the initial meeting to food tastings and to the actual wedding, Laurenda's couldn't be beat. During the wedding I could not have asked for better services, everything was beautiful and the meal was fantastic.
My husband and I are so happy we chose Laurenda's to cater our wedding. Everyone would not stop talking about how delicious the food was! Chad, the main chef was very helpful and assured us everything would go smoothly on the wedding day. Alyssa was wonderful! We had multiple tastings with her and she made sure everything was exactly what we wanted. The only mishap we had was that we ran out of some food before some of my guests even got to eat. Also, we ran out of plates as well so my guests were using to go boxes as plates. If you do salad on your buffet make sure to ask for salad bowls so this won't happen. Laurenda's sends the Bride and Groom home with a basket of all the food that you picked out just in case you didn't get to try everything, because it is a busy day. If you're looking for affordable & delicious food, Laurenda's is a great option. I promise you, your guests won't stop raving about how yummy the food was at your wedding!
Laurenda’s was amazing. They were so helpful with planning and getting the food right. I HIGHLY advise the flavored bacon bar. It was delicious. There were no glitches, arrived on time and the food was delicious.
Laurenda's was wonderful! The food was so delicious and reasonably priced, and the people were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the planning process. They went above and beyond making the buffet tables look beautiful and match the rest of our decorations. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed their dinner. We are so grateful to Laurenda's!
The food they provided for our wedding was nothing short of amazing! Everyone I've seen since the wedding has told me how good the food was and how great the staff did. Everything from our first meeting with Laurenda up until the big day was done perfectly. They're the best in the area for caterings!
We can not thank you enough for the incredible food and service you provided for our wedding in April. We could not have chosen a better caterer and we were absolutely thrilled with your service and friendly attitudes from the very first meeting. Your staff was so friendly, so helpful, and such hard workers! The food was absolutely delicious! We are still getting compliments on how awesome everything tasted and how there was such a great variety of items. The basket we received at the end of the night was incredible! We could not believe everything that you included in it! Our families and friends were so very pleased.
Mrs. Laurenda and her staff were AMAZING. The food was delicious and a big hit with our guests! We decided on food stations and couldn't have been happier with out decision. I would definitely recommend her to any bride!
Please use this caterer for your wedding. Not only was the food amazing, the people are as well. We had everyone asking us who catered the event because the food was amazing. The prime rib melted in your mouth. Laurenda and Chad are incredible. We never once had to worry about them holding up their end. Plenty of food, and perfect temperatures and the presentation. was also incredible. They have pages of food station options to choose from to fit ANY budget, something most other caterers did not offer. Please do not spend thousands of dollars on any old boufet, you will not regret using Laurenda's.
Laurenda's Catering was amazing!!!! They are so nice and easy to work with, the price is great, and everyone loved the food. They go above and beyond with the set up and display of the food. I would recommend Laurenda's for any function.
Excellent experience for our wedding. Easy to work with, arrived and set up early. Presentation was beautiful! Staff is super friendly . Would highly recommend !
amazing food and owner. They really make everything look nice. They bartend too!
We made such a great decision when we went with Laurenda's Catering for our daughter's wedding. Chef Chad took care of us and helped us plan the detailed, traditional Southern comfort cuisine we were hoping for! Everything was just wonderful and we could not have been happier with the quality of this delicious meal. Laurenda's has a detailed catering menu which makes it easy to plan a balance of hors-doevres, main dishes, sides and even desserts. You can go with custom or suggested pre-planned menus, but either way, you will know exactly what it is going to cost. No unpleasant surprises here! Just lovely memories of a great experience with Laurenda and her crew!
