We hired Christine's Plates to cater our company holiday party. They were easy to communicate with and quick to respond through email. They delivered everything on time, gave us an option to decorate the space with their holiday decor and set up/break down everything and came back to clean up when they said they would. We got tons of compliments from our guests on the food (freshness and flavor) and everyone was very impressed with the presentation as well.

The worst part about being the brides on your wedding day is not eating enough of the good food!! Southern Harvest was great to work with and the food was amazing! My only regret was not eating more lol Their servers were amazing as well. They fed us in our bridal suite during cocktail hour and we got appetizers beforehand too. They worked with us and were flexible and I cannot thank them enough!
