Spectacular food

For our wedding, we wanted to share the delicious, southern style cooking of Charleston with our family and friends. The menu options available were abundant, serving our own style as well as catering to those guests with food allergies/exceptions. Our guests enjoyed a variety of food consisting of seafood, meat and veggie options, having nothing but great things to say. Our main contact was Jacqueline, whom was quick to answer phone calls and emails as well as flexible when it came to putting the finishing touches on numbers during the last few weeks of planning. She took the time to go over multiple options, gave insightful suggestions and advice for our passed horderves, stations and bar service.
One piece of advise. Be prepared to go through ordering/providing supplies such as tables, linens, glassware, plates and cutlery in addition to the cost of food and bev. Salthouse can also aid in the process of renting these items, but they are not included. Overall, the food and service was outstanding and very much recommended.

Unmatched Wedding Catering—Charleston’s Best!

Salthouse Catering absolutely blew us away on our wedding day! There’s a reason they’re the top catering company in Charleston—the food was extraordinary, and all of our guests couldn’t stop talking about it, especially the mac and cheese, which was a huge hit.

From the very beginning, Jacqueline was a dream to work with. Her professionalism, guidance, and attention to detail made the entire planning process so smooth. On the day of the wedding, the staff was flawless, ensuring everything was executed perfectly.

If you want incredible food and an outstanding team, look no further than Salthouse Catering. They truly made our wedding unforgettable!

From someone who cared tremendously about wedding food, Salthouse delivered!

My mother worked in the culinary industry growing up, so I always had an appreciation for food and absolutely love going out to dinner, trying new restaurants, and cooking myself. For me, one of the most important things for our wedding day was the food. I think it is actually really difficult to deliver great wedding food because it is hard to cook for that many people all at once. However, Salthouse exceeded my expectations!

I was choosing between two caterers in the Charleston area, but Salthouse was the most responsive, organized, timely, and helpful so it was an easy decision in the end. We worked with Jacqueline throughout the planning process, and she was amazing! She gave great recommendations for our tasting selections. She worked with us to deliver exactly what we wanted from the food perspective but also from the design/presentation angle. She was incredibly responsive and quickly answered all my questions via email or phone.

Numerous guests complimented the food! Everyone loved the raw bar, and the purple smashed potatoes were a hit! For cocktail hour, we personally loved the Watermelon Canape (perfect for the summer heat!) and the Chicken Taco. For entrees, we did the Salthouse Crabcakes and the Strip Loin - both were so good! One of my favorite parts of the evening was the late night snacks we chose - Walking Taco (taco toppings in a Fritos bag) and a Fried Chicken Biscuit. Our guests raved about these for weeks!

Thank you Salthouse and Jacqueline for the great work! You made our big day absolutely delicious! :)
