Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Gatlinburg, TN

Hi! I’m Becky Sexton-Ellison, owner and chef of Mountain Heart Catering. I’ve been cooking since I was tall enough to reach the stove, learning from my mom, grandmother, and babysitter. Cooking is my passion, and I love making people smile with homemade Southern food. I was the head cook at my parents’ restaurant for years, and my uncle owned the Fox and Hounds Restaurant in Newport. Now, I bring that rich heritage to every event. Whether it’s a wedding or a backyard party, I’m here to make your day amazing — one delicious bite at a time.

Fantastic food prepared by our premier chef is curated from local vendors and made with your vision in mind, from the ingredients coming in the door all the way to setting up and placing decor.

“Not only was her food absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond with all other aspects of our wedding week. We rented a cabin in the Sevierville, TN in January with a plan for an outdoor wedding...With her expertise and experience, she was able to give the best advice (moving reception inside) to keep my guests happy AND WARM. With this switch up, she helped us create Plan A, B and C to ensure everything went smoothly ... in many ways she became my wedding coordinator as she is quite the natural. When it came to creating a menu, she provided her options, but everything was modifiable especially for this GLUTEN FREE girlie. She was able to make the whole dish gf, cookies and cake gf. I had a night before party and she made the cookies gf for that and then The Heirloom Apron did the icing/designs. Everyone talked about the food all night... the short ribs... HAVE to be on your menu. The gf kitchen sink cookies... HAVE to be on your menu. But honestly everything (lamb meatballs, roasted veggies, sweet potatoes, and the pork roulade) were truly amazing and so flavorful!”

“If you’re considering Yae’s Eats & Catering LLC, stop searching.....you’ve already found the one. Our experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The communication, professionalism, presentation, and of course the food were all top tier. From the very first conversation, the team made everything feel organized and stress-free. They truly understand weddings and events, and you can tell they care about making your day special. The setup was beautiful, the service was smooth, and every guest kept coming up to us asking “Who is the caterer? This food is amazing!” And the food… WOW. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. You can tell this isn’t just catering, it’s passion and experience behind every dish. And we have to talk about the mac and cheese. It is absolutely top notch. We kept hearing people rave about it in reviews and now we understand why. It’s creamy, flavorful, and easily one of the best mac and cheeses we’ve ever had. We loved it so much that we actually ordered an extra pan to freeze so we could have it when we get back from our honeymoon.... it’s seriously that good. What stood out the most was how much pride they take in what they do. They don’t just show up and serve food, they create an experience that your guests will remember. The best experience was truly a Yae’s experience. If you want delicious food, professional service, and a team that genuinely cares about your event, book them immediately. You will not regret it.”

Manis & Co. Catering 
Rating: 4.8 (6 reviews)
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Gatlinburg, TN

Manis & Co. is generations in the making! When Brandon and Kristen met, they bonded over their love for homecooked family meals. With Kristens strong Italian heritage and Brandon's German roots they were able to create an amazing catering experience! Brandon has a background in food management and merchandising while Kristen is a Wedding Coordinator so it just seemed to be a match made in heaven! Together they strived to build a brand that was about the client and striving for a locally owned, locally sourced mindset!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Manis & Co. absolutely exceeded our expectations at my daughter’s wedding reception and played a huge role in making the day such a success. One of our biggest concerns when planning the reception was ensuring that guests with food allergies would have safe and delicious meal options. Manis & Co. handled this flawlessly. Our guests with dietary restrictions were able to enjoy both the appetizers and dinner with confidence, which meant so much to our family. The food presentation was inviting and reflected the same level of care and attention to detail that went into the menu itself. The staff was professional, friendly, and accommodating throughout the entire event, ensuring that guests felt well taken care of from start to finish. During our final planning meeting about 30 days before the wedding, Kristen confidently told us that they had never run out of food. We joked that our guest list might put that claim to the test! As it turned out, our guests loved the food so much that many went back for seconds and even thirds. The steak and chicken were especially tender, and guests repeatedly commented on how flavorful the accompanying sauces were, including the dairy-free option. In fact, people were still talking about how wonderful the food was at our breakfast send-off the following morning. If you are considering Manis & Co. for your wedding or special event, I cannot recommend them highly enough. For anyone hesitant about choosing a buffet-style service, don't be. Our venue did not have a kitchen, making a buffet our only option, and we initially had concerns about how it would compare to a plated meal. Manis & Co. completely changed our perspective. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, plentiful, and absolutely delicious.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Sage and Spice executed our PERFECT wedding menu! My husband and I love Asian food, so for our wedding, we wanted to share some of our favorite dishes with our favorite people. Our point of contact, Meredith, was super helpful and collaborative on our consultation call. She walked us through a few options we might like from Sage and Spice's menu, and if there was something different we wanted, we were able to share our own recipes for the chefs to create. In particular, we were excited about serving Burmese mint chicken, a cuisine and dish we always share when guests visit us in San Francisco, and Chinese BBQ pork (char siu), a comfort food my mom always makes when I go home. We sent both recipes to Sage and Spice, and they absolutely nailed the flavor and texture for both dishes! Almost everything was incredible, and I'm so grateful that Sage & Spice let us curate our menu and brought it to life flawlessly. Our only hiccup was dessert (doughnuts), but Sage and Spice were responsive, accountable, and handled it professionally. Would absolutely recommend Sage and Spice if you're looking to put your own flair in your catering!”

Chef Anna Masteller

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Gatlinburg, TN for additional fees

Chef Anna, a Carmel-by-the-Sea native, began her career as a celebrity private chef while attending culinary school in San Francisco. Her classical training was complemented by deep nutritional education at The Esalen Institute and the Hippocrates Health Institute. As a sought-after wellness retreat chef and wedding chef, Chef Anna has traveled extensively across the United States and internationally. Her home base is Figure Eight Island, NC. A true hospitality professional, Chef Anna received the Michelin Key award in 2024 and 2025.

“We called Chef Anna “the Zen Chef” because she radiated calm and warmth every time she cooked or dropped off meals. On our wedding day, she was the one vendor who was fully calm, centered, and confident, an incredibly grounding presence for everyone. We had six meals with her, from the welcome dinner to brunches, reception, and an unforgettable late-night spread. She handled everything; shopping, cooking, cleanup and made us feel deeply cared for as a family during our long wedding weekend on Figure Eight Island, NC. Aside from cooking, which she obviously loves, she said her favorite part of her business is helping people make the most of their time together, and that was absolutely true for us. It felt like we bought the gift of time, which is priceless. And we can’t stop talking about the food. Literally better than any restaurant, truly. As a group of well-traveled foodies, that says a lot. Thank you, Chef Anna, for becoming one of our favorite core memories. We’ve already booked her for our anniversary trip to Wrightsville Beach next year.”
