Wedding Caterer

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Holly Tate Catering! Their team is extremely professional, communicates well throughout the process, and their food is amazing! We worked with Heather throughout the planning process, and she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful as we navigated the planning process. She assisted us in acquiring the rentals and set up our table settings beautifully at our wedding!

Selecting our menu was incredibly easy and we appreciated their advice throughout the selection process. The food was amazing, so fresh, and everyone has raved about the food since our wedding!!

On our wedding day Heather did an excellent job ensuring everything went according to plan. The entire staff was so kind, and incredibly attentive throughout the reception. Dishes were cleared in a timely manner and everything was kept clean and free of clutter.

Holly Tate is an absolute must when planning a wedding! They will make your special day so easy, stress-free, and you will be so impressed by their incredible selection of food! We cannot recommend them enough!!

Absolutely Fabulous

Holly Tate was an amazing catering service. They gave us the best service right from the start of working together. They assisted us in picking out all of the supplies, and made us feel at ease every step of the way. Clarice was absolutely great on the wedding day and worked so incredibly hard, keeping everything running perfectly.

The food was delicious, hot and served plated and quickly so all tables were eating at relatively the same time. I highly highly recommend Holly Tate catering!!

The BEST wedding meal & catering service, ever!!!

I am so delighted that we found Holly Tate Catering for our daughters wedding! The Tate Team were incredibly professional, warm and welcoming to our family & guests. They were a joy to work with, recommending hors d'oeuvres and entree options. We value premium, gourmet food.....and that is exactly what we received, all at a very reasonable cost! It has been several weeks since the wedding and we are still receiving texts and calls from friends commenting, "That was THE best meal that I've ever eaten at a wedding! And, the service was also wonderfully incredible!" I could brag for days about Heather & Charlotte. They went over & beyond ensuring that we received the best service possible! Our delicious spring meal consisted of (staff recommended) appetizers: pepper crusted steak crostini's, mini fried green tomato BLT's, and mini parmesan cups filled with apple salad, candied walnuts and a maple dijon vinaigrette. For dinner, we chose half portions of the bourbon maple glazed grilled salmon and the grilled Tuscan stuffed chicken, giving guests the opportunity to have both meat options. Everything was absolute perfection! Thank you John Tate and staff for making our event a dream come true!
