Manis & Co. Catering 
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!

We had Manis & Co for our wedding and it all worked out in the end but communication could have been a lot better. Every interaction required multiple follow ups to get simple questions answered but in the end it worked out and food was good!!

Gatlinburg gourmet llc 
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!

I wanted a Charcuterie Grazing Table for my wedding reception and they provided me with exactly what I wanted! They're definitely a very busy company, so at times, it felt a little bit rushed or difficult to communicate with them, but we ended up getting exactly what we wanted. I would definitely recommend them.

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.
