We had an amazing experience working with Salt House Catering for our wedding! The food and service were exceptional, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Jacqueline was truly outstanding throughout the entire process. She was so hands-on, attentive, and involved in every detail, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we felt taken care of every step of the way. Her dedication, communication, and willingness to go above and beyond made such a difference and took so much stress off our shoulders. You can tell how much she genuinely cares about her clients and making their day special. If you’re looking for a wedding caterer, I cannot recommend Salt House Catering enough. You will not regret booking with them! They helped make our wedding day everything we hoped for, and we’re so grateful for all their hard work!

Charleston has so many great catering companies to choose from but ultimately we selected Salthouse based on their overall food philosophy and menu options. After meeting Jacqueline at our tasting in January, I was confident we had made the right decision. She was so knowledgable and professional but fun and accommodating as well. She welcomed our input and was enthusiastic to incorporate some of our ideas into the food and beverage plan. The chef modified the ravioli for a more seasonal option. The sweet corn and leek ravioli station was a guest favorite and hopefully a new addition to their summertime menu. Serving spiked cherry “slurpees” with the late night munchies as an ode to 7/11 was a big hit and the perfect way to close out the evening. Providing delicious food and drinks, combined with excellent service, is such a huge part of the overall guest experience. Salthouse didn’t just deliver but exceeded our expectations on both in spite of being forced to change locations of the cocktail hour due to an unexpected and intense thunderstorm. Everyone worked so well together to pivot to plan B that most guests didn’t realize that there was an original Plan A. Thank you to Jacqueline and every member of the Salthouse team for playing a role in making Camryn and Austin’s reception so special. The smiles on their faces said it all!

Salthouse catered our wedding on 11/22/25 at the Admiral’s House in North Charleston, SC. They provided both the food and bar for the cocktail hour and reception. Our expectations ...
were not just met, they were exceeded! Our guests absolutely raved about the food. For station entrees at the reception, we served Beef Tenderloin, Shrimp and Grits, Butternut Squash Ravioli, and Coq Au Vin. The Ravioli and Beef were fan favorites, although all selections were fantastic. For passed hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour, we served the Short Rib Spoon, Scallop Lollipop, Duck Confit, and Pickled Peach Bruschetta. We also served Chicken Biscuit Sandwiches as a late night snack, as well as a variety of Petite Desserts and Espresso Martinis for dessert. The bar had a wonderful selection of drinks including two custom signature drinks, named after our cats. Everything about our food and bar service were absolutely wonderful. We were told from several guests that we had the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Jacqueline and Vivian were wonderful to work with. We cannot recommend Salthouse Catering enough!

We used Salthouse Catering recently for my daughter's wedding. I would like to start with the positives! The staff the day of the wedding did a great job! They were courteous and p...
rofessional. We loved the cocktail hour food! The dinner food was also great, however the potatoes gratin was undercooked and hard to eat, I would not recommend it.
The reason for the less than 5 star review was the process prior to the wedding. I will just say, I do not recommend selecting Salthouse until you have found the exact menu you want. In our case, after the first tasting, we had almost everything selected except we did not care for the seafood options we tried at the tasting. We set up a second tasting where they said they would make our recipe for crabcakes for us to try (we had to pay $150 for this second tasting). When we went to the second tasting, the crabcakes they made were not our recipe at all. So after leaving, unsure what in the world we were going to do, we asked to try their chicken instead since we were not coming up with a seafood option we liked and we were told not only "no", but a "hard no". Eventually we came up with a plan that worked for us and for them but it was definitely a stressful and disappointing experience. We should not have paid a deposit before knowing they had a seafood option that appealed to us.
As for the bar service that they contract out (Spiked), just know that if you want to add something not on the list, it will cost a lot, even on top of paying for an open bar. I was shocked at the extra costs for the simplest ingredients .
I hope this review helps someone else realize they do not need to rush into finding the right caterer. In the end, we wish we had done another tasting elsewhere to compare. Again, the food and service the day of the wedding were good, however the experience leading up to the wedding, was the most difficult one we faced during our wedding planning.

re so happy that everyone enjoyed such a special occasion. We thank you for your feedback regarding your experience as we planned for their wedding. During our tastings, we of course want clients to sample the selections they are excited to present to their guests on their wedding day. Tastings provide clients with a general sense of the quality and presentation of what they can expect from our team, leaving them confident in making changes to the menu, even if they have not sampled a specific item during the tasting. By no means do we wish to create stressful situations for our clients, as we strive to simplify the planning process, knowing there is much to manage in planning for the big day. We appreciate you bringing your experience to our attention and will continue to work to find creative ways to provide a fun and relaxed tasting experience for future brides.
We have also passed along your feedback to our beverage service partner so they can continue to find ways to provide transparent pricing for upgrades to their beverage packages. We do work closely with the beverage service to ensure that any upgrade requests are communicated with the proper pricing, allowing clients to make informed decisions on special request additions. We also stress to clients that they are absolutely welcome to work with any beverage service of their choosing, if they find our partners packages or pricing do not fit their vision.
The wedding was truly beautiful and when we spoke on the day, it was great to hear from you how everyone was having such a lovely time and you enjoyed the food immensely. At the end of the day, we want the best for our brides, grooms and their families and hope it is everything they dreamed of. Thank you again and we wish you all the best.

My mother worked in the culinary industry growing up, so I always had an appreciation for food and absolutely love going out to dinner, trying new restaurants, and cooking myself. ...
For me, one of the most important things for our wedding day was the food. I think it is actually really difficult to deliver great wedding food because it is hard to cook for that many people all at once. However, Salthouse exceeded my expectations!
I was choosing between two caterers in the Charleston area, but Salthouse was the most responsive, organized, timely, and helpful so it was an easy decision in the end. We worked with Jacqueline throughout the planning process, and she was amazing! She gave great recommendations for our tasting selections. She worked with us to deliver exactly what we wanted from the food perspective but also from the design/presentation angle. She was incredibly responsive and quickly answered all my questions via email or phone.
Numerous guests complimented the food! Everyone loved the raw bar, and the purple smashed potatoes were a hit! For cocktail hour, we personally loved the Watermelon Canape (perfect for the summer heat!) and the Chicken Taco. For entrees, we did the Salthouse Crabcakes and the Strip Loin - both were so good! One of my favorite parts of the evening was the late night snacks we chose - Walking Taco (taco toppings in a Fritos bag) and a Fried Chicken Biscuit. Our guests raved about these for weeks!
Thank you Salthouse and Jacqueline for the great work! You made our big day absolutely delicious! :)

Lauren Zarembo and her team went above and beyond to accommodate our preferences and create a menu that satisfied all our guests.

Salthouse helped coordinate not only our delicious food but also our bar service, securing extra tables and chairs and even getting us last minute heaters the same week as our wedding.

originally from up north and weren't sure about doing stations for our dinner service. They both eased our minds about this decision and we are SO happy they did.

We are super happy with our choice to work with them!

Multiple guests came up to us throughout the night to tell us how delicious the food was, some of whom were event planners themselves. Jacqueline was wonderful to work with from day 1, helped us to accommodate specialty and kids meals for guests and always responded to emails promptly. Choosing all of your wedding vendors is a daunting task so from one recent local Charleston bride to future brides, I highly recommend Salthouse and hope this is helpful!

ompt with communications and after our tasting there was no doubt in our minds about selecting them for our wedding reception. We also appreciated that they were familiar with our venue since it does not have a full kitchen. We felt confident in their plan to bring a mobile kitchen and the day of I honestly would have never known! The food, the staff, and the service thoroughly exceeded our expectations. My #1 item when planning our wedding was to have incredible and memorable food, especially since the majority of our guests were coming from out of town. We heard rave reviews throughout the night, and even two months later are still hearing compliments about the food at our wedding. We so appreciate Salthouse's professionalism and culinary talent. It was also a nice surprise to receive a box of mini desserts after our wedding because we did not have a chance to have any the night of! We definitely recommend Salthouse to anyone looking for amazing food for their wedding!

We did stations, which is something that was new to us coming from the Northeast, but it worked out wonderfully! All the staff on site day of were a delight to work with and kept service prompt. If you hire Salthouse, we highly recommend adding the short rib spoon to your passed apps, my husband and I still dream of them and probably ate ten of them during cocktail hour! We couldn't recommend Salthouse enough!
