Thrive Catering

samples in advance and requested a few customizations, which all were implemented perfectly for the event. The macaroni and cheese bar and pie stations were both particularly big hits with our guests. We want to particularly note that we appreciated Thrive's willingness and ability to embrace sustainable practices. We wanted our wedding to be as sustainable as possible, which is part of the reason we chose Thrive. We were very happy they provided non-disposable china and, for the few items that were disposable, the items were recyclable and/or compostable. We also appreciated their sourcing of local food. Thank you Wendy and team.

s (quite beautifully I might add), two full plates of dinner and some extras for us after the wedding (which we devoured). We highly recommend them!

ur experience. We had a vegan special request and they knocked it out of the park! The vegan sweet potato and black bean empanadas were FANTASTIC!! Everything the ladies cooked was top notch. I wish we could go back and have our rehearsal dinner again, it seriously was delicious! Thank you so much to all the ladies that made our dinner so lovely and stress free!

rsonable yet professional. They responded quickly during the planning process and all communications were clear and right on point. The event staff was gracious, accommodating, congenial and first class. The final reception menu presented exceeded our expectations - presentations were outstanding ... and creative, action stations were staffed with friendly faces who knew exactly what they were doing ... and cooking, all food items were perfect (flavors, doneness, etc.) and were accessible to the many diverse taste buds at the reception. There were too many specific food highlights to mention but our guests raved about EVERYTHING! Very HIGH-5's all around! If we did another event in Savannah, we would make ONE phone call ... to Thrive!

bacon wrapped scallops! All of our guests RAVED about the food - not only for being unique and not your typical banquet stuff, but for being delicious! The chicken n' waffles were a hit as well as the shrimp n grits and southern biscuit bar. It far exceeded our expectations! I had many guests tell me it was the best menu they have ever had at a wedding, and i would absolutely agree. I would also like to commend Katherine for her exceptional customer service. She provided us and our two picky-eating daughters with a really special and delicious Menu Tasting experience. She also answered every one of my tons of phone calls, questions and changes with such ease and quick responsiveness. She never made me feel like I was a burden, but rather like she was part of our big event. Thank you thank you for all you've done and the best food I could have ever offered to our guests!!

gh wonderful things about them!

ce. Thrive made adjustments to the menu after the tasting, which was all delicious and beautifully presented. They truly are fine dining that comes to you! They pay their staff a living wage, and that was important to us too. Our guests (and us!) had a marvelous time and as someone who's family was in the catering business there were no complaints at all. Water glasses always full, shrimp cooked perfectly, happy vegetarians and vegans, great cleanup, on time set up. Everyone on staff was very kind and the food was delicious. Thank you for working with us and your attentiveness!

ew we found some truly special folks. The tasting only solidified that. Meeting with Katherine (Catering Manager) and Wendy (Chef and Owner) in person really put me at ease. They took the time to hear my ideas, lend their expert knowledge, and craft a menu that was personally tailored and absolutely delicious! On our wedding day, Wendy and her team worked their magic! While the wedding party was running around taking pictures during the cocktail hour, Wendy and her manager made sure to keep us fed and brought up a tray of appetizers. (thank you for that, it was much needed!) All of our guests were blown away with the professionalism of the team and could not stop complimenting the delicious food. The biggest thing I looked for when choosing a vendor was how well we worked together. Katherine was simply amazing. She guided me through the menu selection process and wasn't afraid to lend her opinion if she had other ideas. I could not have asked for a better person to work with - she really helped to make our wedding something special! Thrive definitely takes pride in their work and the quality of their food. If you are looking for locally sourced, delicious food, with fantastic customer service that will blow your guests away - look no further!

sk for anything. Katherine made sure that the wedding party was fed first and brought food out to us while we were taking pictures. The food was amazing and we felt like family members, not clients. Our plates were served and drinks kept full without us even seeing them do it. During the tasting everything was so good and it was difficult for us to narrow it down to a wedding menu. We had MANY guests tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten. They are worth every penny.

ever work with!

ions in small quantities for the bride and groom. In addition, the presentation of the taco bar was just beautiful! Thank you Katherine and the whole Thrive staff for a job well done!

.com" and scheduled a tasting for the next time we would be in Savannah. At the tasting, we met Wendy, the chef, and were absolutely blown away by the food. Katherine was also able to help us by recommending other vendors for our wedding since we were from out of town. Thrive's pricing was just right and the website was easy to navigate. They were able to adjust our menu so that there was something for everyone to enjoy. On the day of our wedding, the staff arrived right on time and did a marvelous job-they really made it easy for us to enjoy everything else that was happening! I would absolutely work with Thrive again in the future!

. After a tasting, we also chose them to do the rehearsal dinner, a Low Country Boil. The food was absolutely delicious for both events, beautifully presented as well. Our guests raved about the food. The staff could not have been more helpful and gracious. Katherine Hankey, the catering manager, was so helpful from beginning to end in choosing items to serve, ideas for setup, etc. I can't say enough nice things about her and her staff! They were a big part of it being a fabulous weekend!!

he food ahead of time. We were a bit concerned about that but when we tasted the food, all concerns went away. The chicken and the macaroni and cheese were the best food I had in Savannah. I would recommend them to anyone looking for catering in Savannah.

at a different catering place at 5:00pm. After meeting with Katherine and the chef, we called the other company informing them that we were no longer in need of their services. They were fantastic. They helped clean up champagne glasses that were brought from another rental company and my husband had asked them to help with setting up cupcakes if he wasn't there and when he came back they were set up perfectly. I would 100% recommend thrive, their food was fantastic and was only overshadowed by how wonderful the staff was.

was beautiful and it tasted amazing! Katherine was so helpful and she was wonderful to work with during the process of planning out our menu in our price range. All of the staff that worked our wedding were amazing and very friendly! I don't have one bad thing to say! Highly recommend this company to anybody needing any kind of catering!

say about their dinners and desserts. Katherine was so helpful throughout the process. I can't recommend Thrive Catering enough!

work with. She's friendly, very responsive, and super helpful making lots of suggestions and recommendations to fit your needs/wants along the way. The only tough thing about Thrive was choosing what we wanted to serve from all of the options! :) They can definitely cater to any tastes, traditions, dietary requirements, etc. etc. We chose a buffet and it was beyond amazing! We loved it, and so did our guests. I HIGHLY recommend - you won't go wrong with this choice!

berry topping, hash browns, a fruit platter and yogurt. There was also locally roasted coffee and juice. Everything was farm to table, local and fresh! It was delicious and was a wonderful day to keep the wedding weekend going. If you want a delicious, local experience, go with Thrive!

food was great and the wedding cake was amazing!!! They really worked with me on a special menu because I have several family members with food allergies. I can personally recommend the sliders and the roasted chicken and the Mac and cheese. Everything was great!

She was extremely accommodating in adding food ideas to our order and adjusting our order at the last minute. Kathrine and Thrive also accommodated our out of town schedule and provided a lovely meal tasting to ensure we loved everything we planned to order. Kathrine and Thrive also went above and beyond for us by lending us wine glasses at the very last minute; there was a miss communication by the bar service and all they had available were plastic cups.Thrive saved us from serving wine from cheap plastic cups. Thrive also seamlessly worked with our wedding planner, alleviating any confusion and made for outstanding coordination.Our guests RAVED about the hors d'oeuvres served during cocktail hour, which included a beautiful meat and cheese platter featuring amazing candied BACON, southern style chicken and waffles and pulled pork sliders! We thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathrine and Thrive! Thanks to all of you at Thrive for serving delicious food and providing wonderful service.

d they have had at a wedding. I highly recommend them!

tastic, and the food is SO good (the pulled pork is my favorite) I definitely recommend Thrive to any bride in the Savannah area.

. She helped make my dreams come true in a way that was even more elegant than I expected. Definitely my favorite wedding vendor! We had a cocktail hour as well as a sit-down Thanksgiving dinner at our wedding reception, and from my perspective it all went beyond smooth. The staff was on-time, prepared, and personable. Their organization and creativity amounted in an unforgettable feast for me and my family on a very special day.

and the presentation was spectacular! The food was more than ample and delicious. Our guests were Wowed! They added that extra element that allowed out guests to savor their time and enjoy the event! Lisa Paulus Mother of the Bride Naples, Florida

at mostly everything was either organic or locally-sourced. When we went down to see the place we were thinking of getting married at, there were some conflicts so we could not do a tasting, but Katherine Hankey offered to meet us anyway to go over our menu ideas and look at prices and options. She also said she would bring a gluten-free cake sample, the cake sample was great and I was relieved to know that I had found a caterer that could do gluten-free food and cake. Katherine was GREAT to work with the entire time. We changed the menu a few times to work with our budget and how we wanted to wedding to be. We started off thinking about doing heavy hor d'oeuvres, but were able to make a buffet with things we wanted which actually ended up being cheaper and offered our guests more food. The best part was that all of the food was GF so I could eat any of it without having to worry (they even made polenta croutons!) I sent them pictures of two cakes and told them the parts of each that I wanted and they were able to make it (Katherine told us at the beginning that the chef was by no means a pastry chef, my cake vision was relatively simple, if you want an extravagant cake, I would suggest you look elsewhere). It looked exactly how I wanted it to the day of and they put the cake topper on it that my sister had made. Everything was great the day of the wedding we did not have to worry about anything. We had many people tell us how great the sliders were and the cake was WONDERFUL. Thrive worked great with our venue to make sure everything was set up and helped with a favor for my husbands grandparents. They also set up our candy bar for us. If you are thinking about going with Thrive just do it, especially if you need GF food.

Thrive because we love healthy, but tasty good. They are arrived on time for our wedding, completely prepared, calm, and ready to help in any way shape or form. I had guests constantly come up to my fiance and I to tell us how amazing the food was. We were greeted with our own plates once we got back from sneaking away to take a few photos and it was nothing but everything I hoped it would be. It was absolutely delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We cannot thank Wendy, her catering manager, Katherine, and the rest of the staff for providing us with the wedding of our dreams. We plan to use Thrive for other catered events in the near future. P.S. They traveled down to St. Simons for our wedding, which was the most special part about all of this. Distance was not going to stop them to make our day complete :-)

mal products (example: prosciutto wrapped fresh fruit). They worked with us every step of the way to help us choose a menu that represented us as a couple and they were very professional while still being super personable. Katherine does lightening fast email communication! They even made us a three-tier vegan pumpkin wedding cake!! It was a huge hit with the family whether they were vegan or omnivores! We had so many compliments on the food - choosing Thrive as our caterer was the best decision we made for the wedding.

bartender, and pretty much became my wedding coordinator without me asking and for veeeeery little cost. I think it was a testament to the friendly, highly personal service offered by Thrive. And this was so important to my huz and I, as we coordinated everything from 2000 miles away. When all was said and done, I was actually pretty sad I didn't have a good reason to keep emailing Katherine! I remember during the reception she saw me running around trying to gather people for the speeches, and she told me to stop – that now was my time to relax, and she put a drink in my hand and I did just that. Lovely people to work with from start to finish. And not to mention, the food was *exactly* what I'd hoped for. My wedding guests are still talking about the great food. We had a buffet with some Southern treats, the cheese twists were exceptional, and some lovely vegetarian appetizers. I loved how the groom and I were treated with such special service. We had no time to pick up our own grazing food and drinks, so Katherine made sure everything came to us. During the buffet dinner, we were served first, and the rest of the tables were released in orderly fashion, despite not having a seating plan. Everyone seemed happy, as that is my family's usual serving tradition. Thrive did a great job working with us who refused to plan every last detail. I even loved that Katherine's husband was one of our bartenders – it made the occasion that much more sweet and genuine. Thrive had no trouble coming up with creative ideas for a British/American, vegetarian, locally-sourced feast. Which is some task. They even offered some chicken fingers for the kids, which was a really nice touch. We had Mushroom Gorgonzola Polenta, Savoury Bread pudding, 11 Superfood Salad, Herb Roasted Fall Vegetables, Cracklin Cauliflower, and Pulled Pork for those who couldn't survive without meat. They made everything egg-less, as one of our guests had an allergy. It was just perfect down to the last detail. One of my best friends made us Choux Pastries, and Thrive had no problem working with us to bring those out at the appropriate time. We also ordered their adorable pecan pie jars, which we put at each setting. A lot of people ate theirs then and there, but others (like me) who were too stuffed were able to take it home as a little gift.

nd made sure the entire reception went off without a hitch. I recommend Thrive and Katherine Hankey to anyone looking to host a unforgettable event. They are simply the best!

ctive, and creative guide through the whirlwind that is wedding planning. And we are not an easy bunch! Not only do we live miles away in the city of Philadelphia, I'm a vegetarian, my husband is a full-blown carnivore, and my family includes several gluten-free eaters! If Katherine was daunted by our particular needs, she never showed it. Instead, she seemed completely at the ready, offering up suggestions that were just to our taste and style. She amazed us with her responsiveness and genuine enthusiasm when brainstorming ideas and even nailing down logistics. I'd definitely recommend Thrive to anyone who is planning a catered event in the Savannah area.

mind were the Beef Tenderloin carving station, the ham and cheese biscuits, the roasted chicken, the sides salads and veggies were all great too! oh and the pulled pork was awesome with the BBQ sauce! I think Katherine helped me more than my day of person did...she was so attentive all night! Thrive was so reliable and made sure everything was taken care of (like early delivery of the linens so we could do set up the day before) and was willing to work with us up until the day of because we never really did get to a concrete number of replies/guests (and even that didnt end up being the number that showed up!). They gave us a ton of leftovers to take with us too! If you want delisih food and awesome service, go with Thrive! Thank you again!

ables looked beautiful, the buffet was incredible. The cake was to die for (I'm still thinking about the carrot cake)!...the service top notch. I've planned many events in the past and Thrive is by far the best.
