Knoxville, TN

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!

“Manis Catering was phenomenal. From the beginning, their customer service was top-tier -- responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. They even went out of their way to do an extra favor of cooking something we had brought for our guests, which was such a fun and personal touch. They were also kind and willing to make the accommodations we requested (whether it was more/less of an ingredient, etc.). The best part? Once we conveyed our preferences/numbers, we didn’t have to think about it again. Everything ran smoothly, our accommodations were honored, and it felt like we could fully enjoy our day without worrying about a single detail. We were so thankful to have Manis and would suggest them to anyone wanting a reliable, delicious catering choice!”

“We had such a wonderful experience consulting with Tessa! From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and helpful. You could genuinely feel that her faith and love for God were at the heart of how she conducted her business, and that made our experience feel especially personal and meaningful. She was also extremely thorough and intentional with our proposal. She took the time to answer all of our questions, walk us through the details, and make sure we understood exactly what we would be receiving. Even though we ultimately decided to go in a different direction for our wedding, we were so impressed by the care, professionalism, and effort she put into helping us.

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!”

“The food from Southern Fig was incredible! Everything was handled so professionally and thoughtfully. The menu was delicious, beautifully presented, and accommodating of our guests’ needs. I forgot about an aunt who had a gluten allergy and emailed Craig just hours before the wedding, and he was able to make a separate plate at very late notice. We’re still hearing compliments about the meal and the grazing table! Such a showstopper and crowd favorite. Craig did so much work and made everything seamless, and we’re so glad we chose them. Thank you so much!!!”

Sara’s Event Services 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Starts at $150
  • Serves Knoxville, TN for additional fees

Cooking and creating meals for others has been my passion for as long as I can remember. My dream began watching food network instead of cartoons as a small child and finding myself inspired to pursue a career in culinary arts. I’ve worked for years in hospitality and now I get share my love of cooking on a more personal level, creating custom meals for families and friends to enjoy together. I love food because it connects people and helps create memories that will last a lifetime. I look forward to bringing my passion, creativity, and years of experience to your next special event or celebration.

“I was able to sample Sara’s handiwork at the Hendersonville Apple Festival last year. My kids got her charcuterie box and devoured it but the Waldorf Chicken Salad Croissant was out of this world. Everything was fresh and tasty and Sara served it all up with a smile. I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for great food and great service.”
