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!

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!!!

Mama Gina’s Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Serves Waynesville, NC

Welcome to Mama Gina Catering, an Authentic Italian Food Experience. All my menu items include the most amazing Italian flavors taught to me by my Nana from when I was a little girl. My grandparents, born & raised in Italy came to this country by way of Ellis Island. I loved listening to the stories they told with their Italian friends most of which spoke broken English. All of my teachings were hands on not hand written “little of this & little of that" then tasting until you are happy. To this day that is how I cook because Italian Food is all about fresh ingredients, heart, taste and a deep love of cooking.

From our first conversation with Mama Gina's Catering, we knew we had found the right team for our wedding. They stayed in touch with us every step of the way and answered all our questions without any hassle. On the day of our wedding rehearsal their attention to detail was incredible—salads were ready when we arrived, the buffet portions were generous, and everything ran like clockwork, which let us actually enjoy time with our guests instead of stressing about food and service. The food was absolutely delicious, and we loved the fun cannoli-serving entertainment from King Cannoli that had everyone talking. Mama Gina's Catering handled everything for us including food, drinks, tableware, setup, and entertainment, making it a complete package that delivered a flawless experience. We cannot recommend them enough!

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!

Chef Anna Masteller 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Waynesville, NC for additional fees

Chef Anna, a Carmel-by-the-Sea native, began her career as a celebrity private chef while attending culinary school in San Francisco. Her classical training was complemented by deep nutritional education at The Esalen Institute and the Hippocrates Health Institute. As a sought-after wellness retreat chef and wedding chef, Chef Anna has traveled extensively across the United States and internationally. Her home base is Figure Eight Island, NC. A true hospitality professional, Chef Anna received the Michelin Key award in 2024 and 2025.

We called Chef Anna “the Zen Chef” because she radiated calm and warmth every time she cooked or dropped off meals. On our wedding day, she was the one vendor who was fully calm, centered, and confident, an incredibly grounding presence for everyone. We had six meals with her, from the welcome dinner to brunches, reception, and an unforgettable late-night spread. She handled everything; shopping, cooking, cleanup and made us feel deeply cared for as a family during our long wedding weekend on Figure Eight Island, NC. Aside from cooking, which she obviously loves, she said her favorite part of her business is helping people make the most of their time together, and that was absolutely true for us. It felt like we bought the gift of time, which is priceless. And we can’t stop talking about the food. Literally better than any restaurant, truly. As a group of well-traveled foodies, that says a lot. Thank you, Chef Anna, for becoming one of our favorite core memories. We’ve already booked her for our anniversary trip to Wrightsville Beach next year.
