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!!

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

I am so delighted that we found Holly Tate Catering for our daughter’s wedding! The Tate Team was 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 the staff for making our event a dream come true!

Above and Beyond

The Tates are simply the best! When my husband and I started planning our wedding, one of the first things we knew about our big day is that we wanted the food to be really good. I’m vegetarian, and I was tired of going to weddings where good veggie food was an afterthought – I was one soggy portabello mushroom away from simply eating before I even arrived at the reception. I’m so glad we found Holly, because she not only prioritized a veggie menu but totally knocked it out of the park. People are still texting me, several weeks after the wedding, telling me how it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. They worked with us to help find our vision of the food, which included several stations with different themes. We made very few changes from the initial proposal menu they sent over – they were great at considering many palettes and preferences. And they truly knocked it out of the park.
The Tates and their team were supportive of us at every turn. I never felt pressured to pick something – they listened and delivered. We ended up going with two signature cocktails for our cocktail hour, and John and his team offered an incredible selection to choose from. Their team was amazing as well – totally professional and provided great service on the day. While I’m glad the craziness of wedding planning is over, I will genuinely miss working with Holly and John. They’re simply the best.

Best Wedding Food and Service I have ever had 🙂

Working with John and Holly was an absolute pleasure through and through!! Throughout every aspect of the process, I felt as though Holly, John, and their staff went above and beyond. The Holly Tate Team was an absolute dream to work with. Not only are the people behind Holly Tate’s Fine Catering amazing but the food is also absolutely out of this world amazing. It was hands down the best food at a wedding I have ever had. Their food also blew our guests away, the whole night we got so many compliments on how the food was absolutely incredible. One of my aunts who was in the wedding planning business in California for 30 years said it was hands down the best food at a wedding she has ever had. I would hire them again no questions!!! 🙂

No need to look any further. This is the Best catering company around with the most amazing team and food!!!!!

We had Holly Tate cater our daughter’s wedding January 2024. From beginning to end they were exceptional. I had no idea where to begin and John was so nice and helpful, he made recommendations based off the different things we were looking to do. This made for such a smooth process. Heather worked with us on the different menu items we were looking at and she was so sweet and patient with us.
The options are endless! When we met for our tasting, we met with Heather and Chef Ben. The setting was so comfortable, and we really enjoyed getting to know both Heather and Chef Ben, they are such wonderful people who love what they do, and it shows. They had prepared everything as it would be at the wedding and served accordingly. They were so attentive to the comments that were made during the tasting making notes such as when the groom did not care for the tomatoes and passed to the bride Heather made the note no tomatoes for the groom extra for the bride, they did not miss a beat as we ate and made comments. The food was phenomenal!!!! We discussed with them that we had guests with food allergies and Chef Ben and Heather again taking all the notes made sure they knew who those guests were and that there could be no cross contamination of the food. Day of the wedding Heather, Chef Ben and
the staff were amazing so attentive made sure to advise our guests with food allergies there would be no cross contamination everything would be provided by the staff only.

Chef Ben made sure to provide what was needed for those individuals. Everyone raved about the food and how attentive the staff were. We had one guest in particular who works with catering companies and quoted “this is top level catering they are the example of what a catering company should be. They are one of the best that she has experienced!!” We are still getting comments on how amazing the food was and how wonderful the staff was. They went over and beyond outside their scope of work when they were able to pick up the wedding cake for us that we could not get. Heather is the BEST!!! That was so extremely over the top!!!! We cannot thank them enough. Every bit of that cake got eaten. Thank you so much for everything you all did to help make that
day spectacular!!!!

The Most Memorable Event

As I come down off the high from my daughter’s stunning wedding on November 4th at Adaumont Farm, I could not recommend Holly Tate Fine Catering any more enthusiastically. The food they served and the staff working the event made the entire day fabulous. Our guests could not stop commenting on the delicious food, attentive staff, excellent bar service, and the preparation of the signature cocktail. All thanks to Holly Tate. The initial phone call with John made me feel at ease and heard. He listened patiently to the many ideas of a first time MOB, gave thoughtful suggestions, and took time to share scenarios that had not occurred to me. He clearly cared about our guests and the best way to serve the dinner I was proposing. The next call included Holly and the bride to be. We discussed more details of the meal, appetizers, desserts, drinks, bar service, and how the evening would flow. What I remember most about that call was how happy my daughter and I were after we hung up. We both felt reassured and thrilled with the decision we made to hire them! The tastings were thoughtfully planned so my husband, the future bride and groom, and I were able to discuss dinner options, pairings, appetizers, courses, and taste each bite of food… Heather, the manager and Chef Ben were with us to answer questions and help guide us with our choices. And they guided us so well! Heather went above and beyond to accommodate requests throughout the process and at the reception. She is a gem and Ben is a talented chef. The special attention given to my husband and me during the reception was unexpected and so appreciated. While we visited with our 170+ guests, the staff would bring us appetizers and be sure our glasses were replenished. It was a delightful touch. The wedding day went off without a hitch and the cuisine was absolutely delicious! The appetizers, salad, pasta options, breads, and desserts could not have been more flavorful. I highly recommend Holly Tate’s staff. They truly are a team and work seamlessly together. They turned a fabulous meal into an evening of perfection. The staff was attentive, clearly cared about the details of the day, heard my personal requests, and made each guest feel special. We will never be able to thank them enough for all they did.

The ONLY catering team to consider

Holly Tate Fine Catering is unlike any catering experience we’ve had! They turn the whole process into an experience, it was a BLAST – designing our own cocktails and creating a unique and customized menu for our wedding reception. They can do or make just about anything and prioritize making your event something to remember. The whole team is kind, fun, highly talented at what they do. Not only great people, HIGH QUALITY food, fresh ingredients and locally sourced. People still rave about the cocktails and food from our wedding reception. This team is AMAZING, one of a kind, the only caterer we will ever use!

Where to even begin!!

We cannot even put into words how grateful we are for Holly Tate Fine Catering — we’ve gotten endless compliments on the food/drinks and based on what we tried (which was almost everything), it sincerely was the best wedding food we’ve ever had! We’re properly spoiled now and have unreasonably high standards for all future weddings we go to 🙂
Every step of the way, John and Holly were understanding and flexible. Throughout the stress of rescheduling, guest count changes, last min requests, Holly and John were our heroes. It’s also worth noting that one of my bridesmaids has severe allergies to quite a few non-standard foods (olive oil, corn starch, baking soda, corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and more!). On the night of the wedding, she received a plate of all the food she could eat and I’m not exaggerating when I say she had tears of happiness in her eyes as she recounted this to me the next day. She never gets to eat at events beyond just a few raw fruit and vegetables or undressed salads. It meant the world to me to know that she was being taken care of that night and hearing how happy she was the next day is something I’ll never forget. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives and we are forever grateful for HTFC for helping make it possible!
