s! The food was absolutely fantastic! We did a tasting with Adam and Crystal when we booked them for our wedding and they will truly curate the perfect menu for you and your guests, and they love to get creative!

We couldn’t recommended Southern Spoon enough and will definitely be raving about the food at our wedding for years to come!

We can't thank Southern Spoon enough for their outstanding catering service at our wedding. From start to

memorable with their delicious food and excellent service.
Right from the beginning, Southern Spoon was incredibly easy to work with. They understood our budget constraints and worked closely with us to create a menu that perfectly fit our vision. Their flexibility and willingness to
accommodate our preferences made the entire planning process stress-free. One of the highlights of our experience with Southern Spoon was the tasting session they provided.
It was not only fun but also allowed us to sample several of their dishes. On the day of the wedding, our guests couldn't stop raving about the quality of the food. The banana pudding beignets were a hit, and the chicken and waffle bites were a unique and delicious combination. The champagne chicken and brisket were cooked to perfection. Southern Spoon also provided excellent service throughout the event. The staff was attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure that all our guests were well taken care of. I highly recommend Southern Spoon for any event requiring catering services. Their ability to work within our budget, the delightful tasting experience, the exceptional quality of the food, and the outstanding service on the day of the wedding make them a top choice. Thank you, Southern Spoon, for making our wedding day even more special!
Southern Spoon catered my destination wedding in Nashville and absolutely dominated! Not only was the food delicious but their service was high class. As a former caterer, my stand...
ards are pretty high but Adam and his team blew me away. The menu paid homage to my Southern roots and Adam worked with me to customize each course to my favorite foods and guest's allergies. I highly recommend the banana pudding beignets. The food remained hot despite the elements. The bar was stocked and the bar tenders made sure every guest had a beverage in hand. Dirty plates were quickly removed and tables stayed spotless throughout the reception. Needless to say, I'd recommend them to everyone. I can't wait to stop by their food truck the next time I'm in Nashville.
