Roots Catering

immediately responsive. Alyssa, in particular, was thorough, followed up when I forgot to respond, and was always quick to answer questions. When we started working with ROOTS, we knew we were going to be in great hands. They were reasonably priced, and had incredible options for all of our guests preferences. When we did the tasting, we were delighted to find Alyssa was just as kind, warm hearted, and personable in person as she was over email. She was easy to work with, reliable, and there were no curve balls anywhere in the process. She opened a bottle of champagne for us at our tasting, toasted us, and we had a lovely evening in their tasting room! On the night of the wedding, Alyssa couldn’t be there (we missed her dearly!) but the ROOTS staff that was there was also exceptional. When I dislocated my knee during our first dance, the staff was quick to bring me a bag of ice and a towel, serve us dinner right at the table, and accommodate us after the unfortunate incident. Also, one of the staff members was an absolute hoot all night!! He was dancing around, cheering us on and even got a few shoutouts during the speeches! Overall, I couldn’t imagine our wedding process and day without Roots, their team, their effective communication from start to end, their energy and excitement for us, and most importantly their food.

licious food that was served at our wedding. We had the taco station, slider station, and all american station. The passed appetizers at cocktail hour were a HIT and absolutely delicious. We were taking photos after the ceremony and a caterer brought us appetizers which was greatly appreciated because we were starving!! Get the deviled eggs! We had a tray of food sitting at our sweetheart table so we didnt have to go through the lines. And they sent us take home boxes! Let me tell you, I was wishing we had gotten a chance to eat more during the wedding and was thrilled to learn that the catering team sent food home with us to have the next day. Absolutely wonderful experience!

held in our home. Communication was seamless, tasting was delightful, and assistance with tables, linens, etc was provided. Basically anything that was desired could be found by this amazing team. The service the night of the party was excellent including bartender, servers and in home chef. Food was with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. Alyssa was present to oversee it all! Wouldn't hesitate to use again!

k from the tasting seriously and made sure our menu was exactly what we wanted including honoring pricing from when we booked vs their updated pricing as the months went on. The passed apps were a major highlight and the food stations were each delicious and our guests loved everything. My wife will only continue to lament at how she only ate 1.5 of the deviled eggs during cocktail hour and will always want more.

ent catering.

mooth and she definitely made sure our food was going to be delicious. The chef and team were so kind and provided great service to us and our guests. We knew we were going to be taken care of and definitely made sure we were going to be fed well.

ting so we had high hopes for the plated service we paid for at our reception. Unfortunately the food we received at our reception tasted NOTHING close to our tasting. A bunch of our guests were complaining their food had no seasoning just like me and my husband’s food. We ordered whipped creamy mashed potatoes but we received dry lumpy potatoes. I had to ask for salt and pepper just to be able to attempt to eat it because I was starving. One of guests said her short rib tasted like they cooked it the day before and just heated it back up to serve. My planner said the silverware initially came out dirty and had to send it back. For the cake cutting they never took the cake to the back to cut but instead cut it out in the open and tried to sit the plates on the same small round table with the half cut in cake still sitting there. So much cake was thrown away because they never cut the whole thing up. So all in all for the amount we paid we definitely do not feel we received a service worthy of that. You only get one day to get this right and that was ruined for us. I would not recommended.

heir communication was very prompt and they were able to answer all our questions with ease. Alyssa was our main contact, she is very knowledgeable of the business, and made the process easy.

ey were freshly cooking the food! The staff went out of their way helping the groom and I get the food we wanted fast so we could get back to mingling with our guests. The bartender made sure our glasses stayed full and was extremely personable. We loved all of the Roots Team and would highly recommend them!

s and choosing a beverage menu our guests would enjoy. Day of the bartenders were prompt and courteous. I was so impressed that they were able to serve our guests so quickly! We had his and hers cocktails which were executed exactly according to our vision. ROOTS sincerely exceeded all of our expectations and really helped to get our party started in the best way possible!

needed day-of and was very responsive when changes would pop up in the process. I'm so glad we chose them!

il hour was beautiful and all the appetizers so yummy. Our buffet line moved quickly and the servers were on top of water refills and clean up, which all the guest appreciated. When we originally booked ROOTS we were working with Olivia who eventually transitioned into a new position and Alyssa then became our new contact. Both ladies were wonderful and extremely helpful with questions and recommendations. I even reached out to Alyssa the morning of the wedding to add coffee and she instantly responded and was able to add it on no problem. If you want your wedding day or any event to go perfectly I highly recommend choosing ROOTS.

u have some of the crab cakes? They were so good! It was all so good!"). I was also impressed with the professionalism that everyone gave, from coordinating the wedding food to the application of our special drink. I have told my husband many times that I wish we could be invited to a wedding catered by Roots so I could just sit back, relax, and enjoy all the delicious food without some of the stress that comes from it being your wedding! You are making a mistake if you don't book Roots for your next event if you have the chance.

how much they enjoyed it. Bar service was also top-notch. Alyssa and her team did a fantastic job, I cannot recommend Roots enough.

their mixologist helped us design the tastiest signature cocktails. Our guests loved their experience and I would highly recommend Roots if you’re looking for a caterer!

nu options, and was extremely flexible and willing to help us make all the changes we needed up until a few weeks before the wedding. All of our guests raved about how good the food was and the attention to detail that Roots puts into setting up their food stations was so appreciated. It flowed so well with all our other decor. Also, the bartenders were incredible. Within an hour, they knew guests drink orders and were so friendly and efficient with serving all of our guests. Absolutely hire Roots for your wedding, it was one of the best decisions we made!!

il. Couldn’t have picked any better group and will definitely use them again.

nd excited to work with us. They made us feel excited about our day and confident it would be a success. The food was amazing and the staff were helpful and courteous. All of our guests complimented the food and many went back for seconds and thirds. Overall, Roots was the perfect choice for us.

r the event complimenting the food saying it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had. Would absolutely recommend!

he whole time. There are so many details that we never would have thought of without her. She was also really flexible as we added/removed things and had questions. One thing we liked about Roots was the ability to provide the beer/wine ourselves which saved us a bunch of money. They were really easygoing about it and helped us figure out how much to buy. We did our menu tasting at their restaurant and were blown away by the quality of the food. We were slightly nervous about how that would translate with the travel time and catering services but everything was perfect. All of our guests keep mentioning how good their meals were and how it was some of the best food they've had at a wedding! The bartenders, servers, and staff were very professional and coordinated with our planner to ensure we had our meals first. They kept our glasses filled and saved us a plate of our hors d'oeuvres since we missed the cocktail hour. I am so impressed with Roots and would highly recommend them to anyone!

wedding. Some people felt discriminated against. Then my mother [the mother of the bride] asked for the leftovers and the staff told her that they didn't have any. And then, my mother ran into her outside of the venue that night and she had bags of leftovers, which is the only time that she handed them over to my mother. The only reason I'm happy enough to give five stars is because like I said, the food was really good- and this is the main reason people come to weddings.

at Roots was communicative and professional. We would definitely hire them to cater another event for us!

cited for our meal on our wedding day. Their pot roast was the talk of the wedding! I could not recommend them enough.

. I have only great things to say about this company!

of our wedding process. The food was also amazing!!!

hey helped us so much with all of the little details regarding food and drink on our big day. Olivia was a pleasure to speak to via email and on the phone and always answered promptly. So happy we went with them.

nges. Olivia recommended delicious items and then helped us narrow down our menu to meet our budget. She was professional, organized, and so easy to work with. We had an awesome time at our tasting, too!! I know I'm biased since it was my wedding, but it was hands down the best wedding food I ever had. Everything was restaurant quality and so delicious. I wish I could rewind time and do it all again!! Roots has really creative options if you want to do something outside the box (we had paella, chicken and waffles, and an indian chicken curry dish) but they also have more traditional options too. Our guests loved the interactive food stations. The presentation of everything was also beautiful. Roots also bartended at our event and the bartenders and servers were SO NICE. They were so attentive to me as the bride and to all the guests. And, most importantly, they made sue we (the bride and groom) ate!! Couldn't recommend them enough. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!!!! <3

entire team. I was beyond pleased with the food, the display of the food and the communication throughout this whole process. I was able to enjoy my big day and relax knowing that Roots had everything under control. We love this company and we will definitely be using them again in the future :) Go support Roots Catering!

She helped us navigate many changes when we postponed our wedding due to COVID. She also helped us with linen/flatware/china rentals and everything looked fantastic! Our guests raved about the food and our signature cocktails! The rest of the staff was wonderful - our bartender was very well-liked by our guests! We have recommended ROOTS to all of our friends who are planning weddings and would hire them again!

ive, and genuine. We originally were only using ROOTS for our reception but as our wedding was relocated from NC to SC, our needs changed. Olivia was amazing to work with, helped us navigate that change and assisted us with designing a rehearsal dinner menu to fit our needs, the proper safety protocols, and made sure it was totally different than what would be seen/served at the reception. All of the food was delicious and all of our guests have had nothing but fantastic feedback. I would recommend ROOTS catering for ANY occasion. Thank you Olivia and Team for making our wedding (and rehearsal dinner) an absolute success!

us, but Roots was so accommodating with their availability. The food was a hit at the wedding as everyone kept raving about it! We 100% recommend Roots to anyone looking for catering - wedding or otherwise!

for. She created a menu unique to our wedding and was always quick to respond to insure each one of our request were met. Not only did roots have amazing customer service but the food was to die for. Out of all aspects of our wedding the food was the most raved about. Roots created delicious stations including Thai, tempura, and even Moroccan (themed for our honeymoon). The onsite staff was attentive and made everyone feel welcome. Thank you to Roots our special day would not have been the same with you!

n :) We wanted a real Southern wedding and they delivered! We couldn't super customize our wedding because the menus are more or less set, but they did let us get creative with a couple of things which was great. While it ended up working out, we did have one whoops moment at our first tasting. The sweet potato hush puppies were super dry so we did a second tasting and they tasted amazing which they said they were "supposed to taste like that" the first time which was super disappointing to hear. However, it enabled us to try different items and we ended up changing our menu up and suggesting some modifications. In the end, we ended up doing for hors d'oeuvres, pimiento cheese hush puppies, caprese skewers, and pulled pork sliders (our modification). For our stations, we did chicken and waffles, mac and cheese, and shrimp and grits. At our tasting, my husband was floored with the mac and cheese and said the shrimp and grits were in his top three ever. We think our guests felt the same!

the reception. They were professional and I would highly recommend them for your next event or wedding!!!

included food, china rental, table decor, wait staff, bartenders, and so much more. One of my main goals for the day was that none of my guests or family would be required to help clean up - Roots was essential in meeting this goal. They were in and out of the venue with ease and no guest had to lift a finger. Kellyn is an amazing coordinator - she's accommodating, creative, and timely with communication.

Roots to cater our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. Everyone raved about how good everything was and our guests are still talking about the paella station! Even though we chose heavy hor d'oeuvres and stations rather than a traditional sit down meal, there was more than enough food for everyone. The bartenders and servers were wonderful and Kellyn and Olivia were so accommodating from start to finish. I honestly can't recommend Roots enough!

ar, and cornbread. However, everyone's favorite part were the appetizers! Fried mac and cheese balls and corn cakes were the toast of the reception. Not to mention the staff brought some apps over to my groom and I while we were taking pictures so we could actually eat some! During dinner they made sure we got enough to eat and didn't want for anything. I worked with Kellyn in the planning process and she was very communicative and sweet. Seriously book them right this second.

l please everyone. I loved all of the food we had at our wedding, but the crowd-pleaser was definitely the mac and cheese -- we are still hearing about how delicious it was from all of our guests! The shrimp and grits are amazing and so are the chicken and waffles. We also had a few vegan guests and Roots took care of them with delicious and filling vegan meals. Highly recommend Roots catering!!!

yn did an amazing time at guiding us through the Roots menu and selecting crowd favorites that we also loved. She also helped us figure out just how much alcohol we needed to buy, taking a huge stressor off us. Also, Roots food is REALLY GOOD! I received so many compliments on enjoying the food, something that seems to be uncommon at weddings these days. Roots perfectly fit into my wedding vision and did a great job at decorating our buffet line. I have nothing but positive things to say, so if you like the menu, you won't be disappointed!

- she juggled a million different changes and dietary requests as they came in from our guests on the RSVPs. Their service was a little confusing - it took awhile to get everyone served, but in a large venue with three plate options - that's totally understandable! My only suggestion is to not get the hushpuppies if you're a fan of traditional hushpuppies because they're more like a soft corn fritter or dumpling if that makes sense (strange suggestion - I know, but I'm just trying to help my brides out!)
