Abby Sent on 05/01/2023The Food & Service was delicious!
Working with Immanuel and the caterers at Basnight's was incredibly easy. The reception buffet selections were scrumptous--- guests couldn't speak more highly of the food. The servers were friendly and went above and beyond when passing appetizers during the cocktail hour to make sure even those getting pictures were able to enjoy the appetizers. Leftovers were boxed up and presented to us with the sweetest notes and well wishes written on the them. I highly recommend Basnight's Lone Cedar for your big day! -

We had the pleasure of having Lone Cedar as our caterers at our wedding and we would not have had it any other way. We have been long time customers and we knew that there was no other choice. We received compliments for weeks after the wedding about how great the food was. The filet was cooked to perfection, the fried shrimp was divine, and the grouper was melt in your mouth good. My favorite side was the posh squash followed closely by the roasted carrots. The servers and bartenders did an amazing job and they were all very professional and kind. Immanuel was very easy to work with and made the process fun! I highly recommend using Lone Cedar for your catering needs. -

Best wedding food ever! We had perfectly prepared filet mignon and fresh fish with fruit salsa. The appetizers were so yummy also! Tuna tostada was my favorite. The servers were friendly, attentive and professional. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lone Cedar. They have perfected the catering niche and I am so grateful to the entire team! I highly recommend Lone Cedar and would use them again. -

We loved this vendor! The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. All the guests really enjoyed the food. They set up, clean up and serve; we also hired a bartender and he was awesome too! Couldn’t be happier. -

I was overwhelmed by the experience that Immanuel and the entire staff created for the rehearsal dinner for my son and his bride to be. Outstanding service that was warm and friendly. Great communication about exactly what we wanted. The result exceeded all of my expectations. We were able to personalize the outdoor venue to make it a truly memorable evening. The venue itself is just truly stunning. The staff was extremely professional and took the best care of us. I was so grateful to have Lone Cedar take care of us. I knew I was in the best of personalized care. The food was exceptional and beautifully presented. Please let them create your own special evening! -

Basnight provided both great food and great service for our wedding. Everyone was in love with the fried chicken and the oyster bar and guests still mention both to this day. The team was very communicative and flexible when it came to creating our custom menu. They are a local staple, and we would definitely recommend working with them! -

Ya'll..... this place. I still can't stop thinking about the food!! Everyone told me how amazing dinner was! Since we live out of state, we never got to taste test anything. I wish we had! For no other reason than to be able to taste EVERYTHING on their menu. I was shoving one of the cocktail snacks in my face as the introductions to the reception started because it looked so good, I couldn't help myself! There were zero regrets! This company was so great to work with, even with absolute last-minute changes on our side. Their staff was just as incredible! Professional, fun, and attentive! Thank you, Basnights, for helping to make our reception and special day complete and amazing!! -

Very attentive and friendly catering staff. Excellent food. Attention to details that I would never have thought of. No complaints. Seriously, even my in-laws didn't complain, and they make a sport out of criticizing food and restaurants. I would gladly hire Lone Cedar catering again. -

We booked Lone Cedar for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding reception and were blown away by both events. They truly delivered the best food and service we could have imagined. Our guests loved our buffet style dinner with a variety of entrees and sides. They were so easy to work with and we couldn't be more pleased with everything! -

Unfortunately, we had to cancel due to an unexpected medical bill with our dogs, but the planning and communication process was amazing with everyone! They were all so nice and extremely responsive and helpful with all my questions and food choices. Our tasting was excellent! We cannot wait to go back to dine with them again!! :) -

Stacey Sent on 11/16/2022Why look at any other caterer?
I decided to go with Basnights after hearing amazing things from fellow brides and strangers and trying their food at Wedding Fest. They were a delight to work with. They were responsive, flexible and accommodating. The food was amazing at our wedding. We did passed appetizers of deviled eggs, crab dip and teriyaki meatballs. For dinner we chose roast, caprese stuffed chicken, roasted veggies and GOUDA mac and cheese. They were accommodating with dietary restrictions (Vegetarians and GF). They packed up all the food for us to take home and cleaned up after themselves. We also hired a bartender from Basnights as well. ALL my guests RAVED about our bartender. She was so sweet and friendly. All around an amazing experience and I would recommend them HANDS DOWN! What a great restaurant and catering team!!! -

As soon as my fiancé and I were engaged, we knew we wanted Lone Cedar to cater our wedding. We’ve been to a lot of local weddings and they excel with service, taste, and professionalism every single time!
Their staff was friendly, organized, and very polite to all of our guests. They made sure that our tables were neat and clean throughout the entire reception as well. All of the food was devine! My husband LOVES their tomato bruschetta, it was also a crowd fav. And the fried soft shells with the aioli… to die for! Everyone loved them.
I was so happy we had their bartenders all night long. They kept the guests hydrated and... -

First I'd like to mention we are so thankful for everyone's hard work that day. We are forever grateful. The delicious food that was made for our September 5, 2022 wedding was perfection. Our guests loved the food!! The bacon wrapped scallops were the best scallops we ever had! And the Strawberry vinaigrette dressing was spectacular!! I can't lie, I wish we lived closer so we could keep returning. I cannot wait to visit the restaurant on our next trip!! The best!! Highly recommended!! -

Laurel Sent on 12/22/2021Great food and amazing service!
We loved our wedding meal, it was extremely delicious and everyone was complimenting the food all night! Having been unable to try the food beforehand (we live across the country) we chose Basnights through reading Wedding Wire and Yelp reviews and then just crossed our fingers. We felt so lucky that all the food was delicious. They helped us with a few of the rentals and made the process easy on us. However, the staff that attended our wedding was AMAZING! They checked in with us, were super sweet, were on top of every part of the night be it meal to cleanup. We loved them and would highly recommend! -

Lynn Sent on 10/07/2021Fantastic Beginning to the Wedding Celebration
We used Lone Cedar Cafe to host the rehearsal dinner for our son's and new daughter's wedding. The dinner was held on site using the Garden Patio. The location was beautiful and the food was delicious!! We heard so many positive comments from the guests. The event staff made coordinating the arrangements so easy from 3 1/2 hours away. It was such a beautiful night and a fantastic beginning to the wedding celebrations!!!Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe's reply:
Thank you SO much for you kind review! This put a huge smile on my face this morning! I am sharing with everyone who worked your event. We really enjoyed having you group with us.
Best,

Nicole Sent on 08/10/2021EVERYTHING was excellent!!
Honestly we did not go into this wedding expecting amazing food, we were more focused on the party. However, Victoria and her team created the perfect experience and EVERYONE raved about the food! They were organized, helpful, and the food was SO good. We loved our experience tasting the menu ahead of time and were so happy with the resulting menu. We also hired a bartending team through Lone Cedar and she was AWESOME - a huge hit at the party! Highly recommend!! -

Tori Sent on 07/16/2021Excellent experience couldn't ask for more!
Bassnight's Lone Cedar Café went above and beyond. Working with Victoria, the Catering Manager, was a wonderful experience. We had to make a few adjustments after postponing our wedding a year because of Covid and she was extremely supportive throughout our crazy planning process and took a huge amount of stress off of my husband and I. She jumped through hurdles to make sure everything was perfect for us. This catering team was ON TOP OF IT. Even with the multiple different plated meal options that we offered to our guests they made sure to keep on schedule, provided top notch service, and has everyone still raving about the food weeks later. Since our wedding, two of my friends... -

Lindsey Sent on 07/12/2021Phenomenal!
This was a second marriage for us both and we just wanted something small and laid back. I contacted Basnight’s and their event coordinator was extremely responsive and full of suggestions to fit whatever a bride’s needs may be. After deciding that we just wanted to make a large group reservation instead of booking a room and doing a full-scale catered event, their coordinator continued to assist me, stayed in touch and ensured our evening was perfect. We were even able to drop off our cake the day of the wedding. Their wait staff was OUTSTANDING and the food was PHENOMENAL! There was an option for everyone. Food came out quickly and was priced extremely well. -

There’s a reason Basnights is the top wedding caterer on the island. Victoria made the entire process so easy! She worked with me through my COVID wedding postponement and reschedule/venue change. She answered my many questions and provided some great advice along the way. The staff were all so kind and helpful during the wedding. The food, of course, was fantastic! Almost everyone I talk to from the wedding- their comments always include how delicious the seared tuna and bang bang shrimp was. Basnights made sure to pack my husband and I a food box to go to the hotel with us so we had some food to eat once the night ended. I will recommend Basnights to every couple looking for a caterer!Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe's reply:
Thank you so much for your review!!! We are so happy you enjoyed the big day and the to go boxes for the hotel! We really appreciate you trusting us with you big day! -

We found Basnights through the Knot while searching for caterers for our 2021 Outer Banks wedding. Throughout the process of planning our wedding, Maggie and Victoria were tremendous to work with. Despite this being a destination wedding for us, a planned trip to the Outer Banks in 2020 allowed us to do a tasting at their beautiful restaurant. Everything we tasted was magnificent and doing the tasting was truly helpful in finalizing the menu for our big day. For our cocktail hour we decided on the following Hors d’oeuvres: Shrimp and Grits cups, Chicken and Waffles, and Bacon and Eggs (Deviled eggs with a candied bacon jam). We were going for a Southern theme with the cocktail hour menu...Basnight's Lone Cedar Cafe's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind review! It means so much to us that you took a moment to tell everyone about your experience. We had the best time celebrating your big day! Thank you again for trusting us with your special day! -

Basnights was by far my favorite vendor to work with when planning our wedding. We were originally scheduled for May 2020 but had to reschedule due to COVID. Basnights was flexible, understanding, considerate and more. Rescheduling with Maggie and Victoria was as easy as it could have been. We had multiple menu changes, they catered to a gluten-free groom! and were constantly updating our guest count as states begun to reopen and protocols changed. On top of all of this, the food was AMAZING. They also helped supply our 2 amazingly fun bartenders, and with some rentals (cups, plates, utensils, etc) If you plan on getting married at The Black Stallion - they were VERY knowledgeable about the house/setup. -
