My experience with Michelle, Southern Cadence, and chef Oscar has been fantastic so far. We had originally wanted them to do the reception food for our wedding, but we ultimately p...
icked a vendor that didn't allow caterers, so we had to switch gears and decided to have them do our brunch the day after the wedding at our house. So next was the tasting. The food... Oh.. my.. goodness. The Southern Belle shrimp/grits and the chicken/waffles (infused w lavendar) were delicious!! And the deviled eggs w fried oyster - yes please, bring me a whole tray!! We tried a few other items too, carne asada tacos, fried churros... there wasn't one thing that I didn't care for; so it was hard to pick the menu for sure!! I love to eat and try really good retaurants so I think i have a decent palette. And I will say loudly that EVERY last thing I tried was so good, it was all cooked with care, you could taste every ingredient, the flavors were layered and complimented each other perfectly. And the plating... I love their plating!! She and chef Oscar were both there, and they were both so warm and friendly and welcoming, we felt right at home, like we were having lunch with friends. And let me tell you, you will leave that tasting full full, in the very best way. I was so excited for the big day!
Then came Covid... so we had to push our date to October, and she took it all in stride, we switched up the dates, all good.
Then Covid resurged and didn't go away, so we made the hard decision to cancel our big wedding altogether and we moved to a minimony concept. Again, she pivoted right along with us and we planned instead a small small dinner at the house, some passed apps and stations, and sit-down dinner. We are really looking forward to it in about a month. Michelle is gracious, accommodating, and kind, yet fair and honest, things I very much appreciate when work with folks. Give it to me straight! She even got down to the details to help me design the dinner tablescape.
All this to say... I can't wait to see how it all turns out. I would love to work with her on any kind of event in the future; she will be sure to make it that much more special and delicious!!
Southern Cadence catered my parent's 50th wedding anniversary party and it was over the top. Every last detail was personalized for my parents.... including the DELICIOUS Cajun m...
enu. Michelle's attention to detail is absolutely second to none and I honestly felt like I was having a family member cooking in my home. Warmth, hospitality, care, concern... all words that come to mind.
When imagining your favorite dinner, it goes beyond wonderful food (although that is of prime importance!). A memorable dinner includes the ambiance, professionalism, ease of worki...
ng together and fun - yes, I said fun. Michelle and her crew from Southern Cadence provided all of the above without any hitches. They seemed to be enjoying the moment very much while serving, with great care, excellent food we still talk about. We served a party of 50 and would not change one aspect about our catering choices. Michelle is the best.
Michelle is very passionate about what she does!!! Her food is amazing and her personality is what I have loved about this whole process. She has definitely accommodated our needs ...
and wants for our very special day. If you have a questions she replies promptly and gives you the best advice and wants to hear what you think. No sugarcoating when it comes to her food! Definitely couldn’t have picked a better catering company. I’m sure this won’t be the last time we use her services :)
I’ve attended and have personally hired Southern Cadence Cuisine host parties for me and many others. She’s so accommodating to everyone’s tastes, styles, allergies and other lif...
estyles choices !! She. Can. Do. It. All. I’ve known her for over 6 years and it seems to improve every year as every event ! Always pushing the bar and totally impressing everyone in attendance. What i love most about her is the diversity is style. You can hire her to have a 5-star dinner and ambiance and everything be perfect, a simple catering event and food will be impeccable or a petite cooking class with kid. All amazing.
We have used Southern Cadence Cuisine exclusively for the past 3 years. They catered our first event exquisitely those three years ago and we chose immediately to use them exclusiv...
ely for all of our events going forward. They have done intimate events to grand public events for us. We even use them personally for our family events and holiday festivities. We have no desire to go anywhere else. From the moment we choose an event date with them until after the last event dish is cleaned, each moment is handled professionally and above par. The staff is absolutely amazing and the food is impeccable. We can't say enough about how amazing Southern Cadence Cuisines is.
