The Best Southern Food Wedding Catering in 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.
