  Fantastic food!

  We used Manis and Co. for my daughter’s wedding and we could not have been more pleased. They were a pleasure to work with. Very responsive to any needs or questions we had. The food was amazing. We had the pork tenderloin and Cajun chicken pasta as entrees and our guests raved over the food. The staff was fantastic the day of the wedding. I would wholeheartedly recommend them for your event.

  Wedding Coordinator

  Kristen and her team served amazing appetizers, charcuterie and dinner at my client’s wedding. Everything tasted AND looked delicious. As a planner, they were so easy to work with especially on wedding day. Will definitely be recommending Manis!

  Excellent service, even better food!

  The food was delicious! Every guest mentioned how good it was, including our other vendors. From beginning to end, Kristin and Brandon were so easy to work with. They explained all our options, we’re very quick to text back, let us set up a tasting, and helped confirm all the details for our guests with dietary restrictions. The day of, the three staff members were so fabulous and easygoing. They helped make the day run smoothly and fulfilled every detail we had discussed from Kristin.

  Wonderful quality food and service

  My daughter’s wedding in TN was wonderful. The food was fabulous. Many guests complimented it and several said it was the best catering they’d ever had. We certainly agree.

  Great experience!

  Manis and Co. was an excellent company to work with! They were always so responsive to emails and were very accommodating with some changes I wanted to make. They served our plated dinner in a timely manner and even made sure our bridal party was served appetizers while taking pictures after the ceremony. Several guests commented on the good food. They helped our big day run smoothly and overall were great to work with!

  We love Brandon and Kristen!

  We LOVED Manis & Co. and are so happy we chose them to cater our wedding! Brandon and Kristen are a husband and wife duo from Knoxville who have made it their mission to provide fresh, locally sourced meals at affordable prices, and boy did they deliver! They were awesome to work with before the wedding, promptly answering my many questions and offering a free tasting at their kitchen. The day of the wedding, their incredible, kind staff provided food that guests raved about and even packed up the leftovers for my husband and me! On top of all of this, Manis & Co. provides their own plates, napkins, and silverware, buffet table linens, and servers. All at the BEST price I could find! I feel like I hit the jackpot when I found these guys, and I'm so grateful for their good work. Keep doing what you're doing, Brandon & Kristen. Brides, book them right now!

  Amazing Service!

  We just used Manis Catering for our February wedding. The booking process was easy and their menu and packages are a hundred times easier to navigate than other companies that we tasted with. At the wedding all of our servers were very polite and seemed to truly care about our guests and of course the food was delicious.

  Great food and fantastic staff!

  We hired Manis and Co for our March wedding. The food was amazing and exactly what we wanted. We served garlic chicken (SO good!), ham steaks, glazed carrots, mashed potatoes, rolls, salad, jalapeño poppers, and brie bites. All of our guests were very impressed with the quality of the food. The staff were absolutely incredible! They provided all the china, glasses, and flatware we needed for food and the dessert bar (which they set up for us!). They pre set the tables with plates and flatware and made everything look incredible. Kristen is so kind and easy to work with. We had a buffet and she served my grandfather without being asked! I was so impressed with everyone! Once we moved to the dance floor, the staff packed up to go boxes for us. The price for everything was extremely affordable and worth every penny. I highly recommend Manis and Co to anyone needing catering for their event.

  Fellow NY bride

  My husband and I hired Manis for our wedding and we have nothing but positivity. There were so many compliments from our guests. My husband is obsessed with the mac and cheese. The steak was delicious and the meatballs in vodka sauce were such a hot commodity. We had a little bit of leftovers after our wedding but our cabin guests finished them off. I HIGHLY recommend them, i originally wanted them cause they are from NY and as a fellow New Yorker, we love our Italian food. And the value was so worth it. Very fair pricing for delicious food.

  Amazing experience!!

  Destination weddings are always nerve wracking, but Kristen made it really easy. Our wedding was Oct 22,2022. We absolutely loved all the food. Everything was so delicious. We had Brandon and Cory for our servers, they were so polite and very professional. If you are looking for a caterer, I highly recommend Manis. They were amazing from start to finish. And made our day very special ♥️ Thank you Kristen, Brandon and Cory!

  Perfect wedding in gatlinburg

  When you decide to plan a destination wedding in 4 months, this is the company to go with. Kristen knew from the get go everything I was going to need. Not only did she help me plan the menu, she knew exactly the wedding I wanted from the start. She helped me find a bakery for the desserts, a photographer, she helped me find the setup and tear down crew, she managed the park rangers all the way to the END. Our perfect day was flawless because of Kristen. There are not words that could show our appreciation. We will always be in your debt for managing everything.

  Absolutely amazing!

  Although we did not have a wedding catered, we did have several intimate parties and a shower catered by Manis & Co. Each time the food and service was amazing. They worked with us on our preferences and made our parties a success. We will be using them again.

  Three words...Grilled. Cheese. Bar!

  We cannot thank Brandon enough for getting us in last minute and on a budget! We chose one of their affordable bar options and went with Grilled cheese and chili. It was perfect for a cool wedding day and they set everything up for us. Highly recommend and will use them again.

  Not so good experience

  I don’t normally leave bad reviews but I wish I had someone to warn me about this place before I used them for my wedding. The food was not that great at all. Chicken was very dry, Mac and cheese was just noodles with hardly any sauce or cheese and mashed potatoes tasted very bland and dry. Very hard to ruin these simple things. Lasagna was the only big hit of the whole night. They were also short staffed because they booked another wedding the same day as mine and only brought two people with them to serve 90 people. There was a line out the door with people hungry and waiting to eat. At one point there was only one person serving all of the sides and entrees at the buffet. And throughout the whole process it was just very hard to communicate with them and get them to respond.
