Roots Catering

ood 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.

ow 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

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!

ng 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!

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!

ick 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!

uldn'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!

mend them for your next event or wedding!!!

s, 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.

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!

petizers! 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.

, 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!!!

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!

s 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!)

ts would be to change your bartender. We got a lot of bad reviews about him and he was serving underage minors with no questions asked. Not only that but he gave some of my female relatives the "creeps" their words not mine. Other than that the service and the food was AMAZING!!!

mazing and took such good care of our guests. The food was flawless and all of our family raved about it!! From start to finish they made sure all was perfect and we had nothing to worry about!! Thank you Roots for making our special day, perfect!!!!

going back for more!! Their professionalism and quality is amazing! They even made sure we had appetizers during our photos! I would recommend Roots without a doubt!!!

hey source their ingredients locally. We had such a positive experience planning everything with Kellyn, she is incredibly friendly and professional. The food was just as great at the wedding as it was at our tasting and the service was also really great.

+ degrees as though it was 70!!

r wedding and Kellyn was extremely accommodating and proactive in making sure everything regarding our plan for food stayed the same. We had them do a pig roast for the rehearsal dinner. They brought a smoker to the parking lot and had the full pig there, which was a cool experience for many of the guests that were not from North Carolina. The food was delicious although some of it was cold when it was served at its scheduled time, however, overall we were happy with it. For the wedding, overall the food was great, but we did have a couple items that weren’t what we had at our tasting. We were disappointed in the grilled pimento cheese appetizer as it was nothing like what we had at our tasting. However, the bacon wrapped asparagus and pork belly sweet potato biscuits were as great as we remembered. During planning, we debated whether to do stations or a buffet style with servers for the meat and pasta. We settled on stations right next to each other similar to a buffet as Roots assured us they would be able to get our guests through in less than 30 minutes. However, it ended up taking them an hour and a half to get 130 guests served which in our eyes was unacceptable. Multiple guests commented that the meat carver didn’t look like he knew what he was doing and was holding up the service. At the end of the night, we had them bring their food truck to serve chicken and waffle tacos as a late night snack. It wasn’t really a taco and while the chicken was great, the waffles were soggy and cold. Despite some of these missteps, overall the food was good and they were very easy to work with, which is why we are still giving them a 4/5.

mely manner when I had a question. The staff was quite friendly at the event and I would use this company again.

w great the food was and even on how much they liked the presentation at the buffett! You will not be disappointed with this vendor! Will use again for future events!

s before the wedding I get this email from Craig. "Rick, I am very sorry to tell you this, but we will not be able to cater your wedding. As I told you in our tasting, I would be out of the country and that I would have my executive chef cook your food, however we were waiting on a previously booked event to confirm and they confirmed for your date and he will be required at that event due to its complexity." So basically Craig new he had a larger client on the back burner, but continued to negotiate with us down to the food tasting and crafting of the menu. He was stringing us along and never mentioned the "other client". He then bailed on us by email without ever bothering to speak to us in person at any time thereafter. Completely unprofessional and uncaring about anything but the money in our case. We had to scramble to find a new caterer for a custom menu 1 month before the wedding. We did, and it was fantastic and less money than he was charging. Craig is young and will eventually learn what it takes to build a strong business... but as of now, buyer beware.

laborate dessert bar that I was blown away. They are great at what they do and come up with such unique ways to present their food. I would highly recommend them to anyone lookin to make their wedding extra special
