Rating: 4.8 (5 reviews)
Knoxville, TN
  • Starts at $1,500

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!

Manis and Co did a great job with everything we threw at them, we went quite a bit off menu and they handled it superbly. Can't speak highly enough!

Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Knoxville, TN

From our first conversation to the moment we bid you farewell at the end of your event, our goal is to make this experience easy and fun for you. We’ll handle all those pesky details and help you figure out what you need as far as menu, quantity, packaging, and service. 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!

We’d get married all over again just to have the feast they prepared for us! Stationary spreads of appetizers, we had the charcuterie cones and some passed appetizers too while we did our photos. Then we had a delicious feast of salads, entrees, lots of sides, and we loved choosing a company where we could get our table rentals, our servers, and our bartenders all together. They all worked really well together and we could really see the importance of hiring one company for a seamless night after we saw how well the event flowed and how they handled everything. 10’s all day long!
