I have been in the food business since I was 15. I come from a long line of amazing cooks. Food is my passion. It is truly gratifying to participate in the life events of my clients, making their special day a little more enjoyable. We go above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. We use quality ingredients, outsource locally whenever possible. My husband is a 22 year Army Veteran. We love our Vets and love our Country.

Simply Elegant is a must for your catering needs. They catered my daughter’s wedding. The food was superb! We had so many compliments from the guests. Betty from Simply Elegant is wonderful to work with and responds quickly to emails. Her prices are very reasonable and lower than other caterers in the area. I also used Simply Elegant for two baby showers and every single thing I ordered was delicious! You are getting a fabulous value in the quality of food and service provided by Simply Elegant. I could not have been happier!

We hired Simply Elegant for our house concert we host every July in Mountain City, TN. We feature three bands with over 300 attendees right in our Backyard. 300 is pushing it for most catering companies but Simply Elegant had it down pat! When choosing the menu I wanted something that would be appealing to people from all walks of life and from different parts of the country and even other countries. She helped make the perfect menu and with plenty of food. The servers were dressed in White and Blue, setting them apart from the spectators and looked very professional! We are already looking forward to having them back in 2025.

Betty was absolutely amazing! Her charcuterie board for my wedding was the best I've ever seen, yet alone tasted. She also did my wedding cake, guys when I tell you it looked better then the picture I asked her to go off I mean it. She also did mini dessert in these cute little jars. They were a crowd pleaser. 100/10 Recommended Simply Elegant for your wedding!!!!
