Lisa was amazing

We used Buddy’s for our wedding catering, cake cutting services, and for bartending services. Lisa was our bartender and I cannot say enough great things about her!! She was so kind and poured great drinks. We did a taco bar and it was a huge hit with our guests! Buddy’s showed up on time and provided all of our cutlery and tableware, bar supplies, and cake cutting supplies. I would highly recommend them!

Best wedding food ever!!

YUM! We had bbq pork, smoked chicken, baked beans, panko crusted Mac and cheese, and sweet potato casserole, and every single thing was DELICIOUS!! We were told by many guests that it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. It was very safely served with new COVID protocols but was still very nice and professional. I wish we would have been able to take the left overs on the honeymoon because they were so good. From the beginning of planning and communication with Buddy’s, they were very accommodating and responsive. They made changes easily when we had to move our wedding date, and they made it stress free for us. They called the day before the wedding to make sure all of the details were confirmed, which I appreciated. The China was beautiful and added an upscale feel to a more rustic style wedding. Very affordable for everything that is included! Great staff too. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Great food as always!!

We wanted to treat our northern family members do some traditional southern style food and my fiancé has been obsessed with Buddy’s ever since moving to Tennessee from Boston. All of the food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed everything. The caterer and the bartender were so kind and pleasant.
