    Rehearsal Dinner for our Son and new Daughter in Law

    John Ellington and his staff are the very best at the job of catering any and all events!! John came out to view the venue and made suggestions and verified where we would like all of the food and beverages to be placed. His staff came and set up a wonderful display and everything was so professional at every turn. The Staff were polite, professional and fun to have at the event. They served and were just wonderful. They packed up the food and cleaned up the area so we did not have to worry at all about any of those types of things. And the food was so very delicious, and everything was as promised. If you are looking for the very best food, service, planning, delivery and execution, the team of John Ellington and his staff should be your ONLY choice!!! Thanks so much, John, for a job well done!!!

    Fuqua Catering's reply:

    Thank you Terri! Glad everything went well and your guest enjoyed the food. I am very blessed to have such good associates working for me. They are the best! Really appreciate you taking the time to do this review. Thank you for your business!

    Amazing Food!

    John was absolutely amazing to work with. My wife is a super picky eater and he was able to make sure she had plenty to eat that she liked while also having “fancy” menu items as well for our wedding! John was super responsive with taking care of allergen concerns and answering any questions along the way. His team at the event was super professional and kind! Also, THE FOOD. It was absolutely delicious and all of our guests raved about it! I wish we could have them cook dinner for us every night! We also ended up with leftovers so we got to enjoy the food for the next week as well!

    Fuqua Catering's reply:

    Thank you Megan! So nice working with you. So happy you and everyone enjoyed yourself and liked the food. Hope you both have a wonderful summer!

    Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

    We used Fuqua catering for our wedding rehearsal. We had them serve appetizers, then a beef and chicken taco bar and finally a strawberry shortcake dessert. They were prompt and courteous. They even put the leftover food in tins and labeled each item for us. I would recommend using them for your event..

    Fuqua Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review. I am glad you enjoyed the dinner. It was a pleasure working with you.

    Great food, professional staff and reasonably priced

    We planned a barn wedding in just a few months-Fuqua catering was responsive and flexible with regards to planning. On site the catering staff and bartenders were equally so-asked appropriate questions as needed and left me with little think about! The food was terrific and I would highly recommend them for your event!

    Fuqua Catering's reply:

    Thank you Maria! So nice working with you on the reception. My staff said everything was so beautiful. So glad everything went well.

    Great experience

    I worked with them in conjunction with Waverly Estate & was very pleased with the entire experience. I also had so many compliments on the food & was able to sit down & enjoy the meal myself as well. We had the roasted chicken leg, barbecue, green beans, Mac & cheese, & cole slaw with rolls & loved every bit of it!

    Awesome!!!!

    John was super helpful, responsive, and accommodating! We had several allergies/dietary limitations and he made sure our desserts came from a nut free facility and made special plates for our guests with other restrictions. He spent several hours with us during the tasting and helped us to create our menu. And the food was awesome! We had the traditional buffet meal and a cookie-ice cream bar with out of the oven cookies. We didn’t get to try the dessert but heard great things. Highly recommend!

    Fuqua Catering's reply:

    Thanks Megan. Such a fun wedding reception. Thank you so much for using us. Just let me know when you are in town. I will be glad to fix you a warm cookie sundae! Thanks again!

    Amazing food, quality service!

    Fuqua catering truly made our reception top tier! I know everyone is not a fan of BBQ at weddings, but it was so amazing there was nothing but full tummies and raving reviews! We thoroughly enjoyed working with this team and wish we had a plate of the Carolina barbecue right now!!!

John was super responsive and helpful throughout the entire process and the entire staff was kind and courteous. We HIGHLY recommend them!

    Delicious & Quality Food, Wonderful People!

    John Ellington and his team are AMAZING. During our reception, my husband and I could not get over how great the food was. Food was a very important aspect of our wedding since we both are foodies! Some background of our taste - I always am wary about other people’s reviews of food/restaurants since our taste doesn’t always match most folks. We have a select few of friends we trust in restaurant recommendations! With every friend group we have, everyone gives my husband free reign to order for them. With that, we were unsure we’d be able to meet our food expectations due to budget limitations. The food at our wedding was absolutely SPECTACULAR. We were paired with John via our venue (Waverly Estate) since he is their in-house caterer. We picked the Estate Menu and we added some things like raw and chargrilled oysters, jamon, prime rib, and a crab cake station. The food was SOOOO good. The oysters were better than I asked for (saltiest and briniest), we had some people telling us the prime rib was the best they’ve ever had (a lot of these people are foodies who live in DC), and the crab cake station delivered delicious and HOT crab-filled, crab cakes! We had some guests who ate 10 crabcakes each haha! Fuqua School Catering run by John was so easy to work with. There was no issue with setting up a tasting, unlike other caterers. It was easy and fun working with John to create a menu that my husband and I were excited about. We had gluten-intolerant and dairy free guests and he was able to accommodate them no problem. He provided gluten-free crab cakes, key-lime pie (a must-have!), and dairy free options of dishes, etc, etc. John was great to work with and the execution of everything was spot on. The napkin and utensil set up at the reception looked beautiful. The food displays looked crisp and beautiful. Logistically, every detail was thought out and accounted for. And again, the food was AMAZING! Unfortunately, we didn't many photos of the food displays, tried to pick photos with food & setting displays.

    Fuqua Catering's reply:

    Rosemary, it was an absolute pleasure to do your wedding reception! The variety of food that y’all chose was so much fun to prepare and present. It was awesome. Thanks again to you and Niroshen for letting us be a part of your day. So glad everyone enjoyed the food. If you need anything in the future, let us know. Take care!

    Fuqua Catering is Wonderful!

    Fuqua Catering provided a fabulous meal for our son's Rehearsal Dinner on Sept. 29, 2022! Many guests even made a special effort to seek me out and tell me how delicious the food was.
