    Mashed Potatoes

    Very organized and easy to work with for our wedding! They were great at handling dietary restrictions and almost all of their food is already gluten free! Brittany was an amazing event manager. We loved the food and our guests are still raving about the mashed potatoes!

    Fantastic Option for the Triangle (NC)

    For our wedding, we put a big emphasis on having great food both we and our guests would enjoy. Under The Oak absolutely delivered on that expectation. We love how all their ingredients are locally-sourced while still offering a great variety on their menu. It was super local to our venue and their staff helped everything go very smoothly with appetizers during cocktail hour, a big dinner and late night nachos! We also really enjoyed the tasting at the restaurant while we were in the planning process to finalize our menu...it was both efficient, fun and informative! A very good local business with great catering.

    Delicious food!

    Under the Oak provided exceptional service and truly delicious food on our wedding day. In my experience, wedding food can often be forgettable, but that was absolutely not the case here — everything we had was outstanding! Our guests are still raving about the hors d'oeuvres served during cocktail hour and the entrees we selected for dinner. During our tasting, we experienced a small mix-up, but Laura’s incredible customer service more than made up for it. She went above and beyond to ensure we were completely taken care of and received the correct dishes. Her professionalism and kindness left a lasting impression on us. On the wedding day, the entire staff was exceptional. Service ran seamlessly, every guest was served promptly, and the team’s attention to detail did not go unnoticed. My husband and I were especially grateful to find a plate of hors d'oeuvres waiting at our reception table — and even more touched that a server made sure we got to enjoy food during cocktail hour after photos. That level of care and thoughtfulness truly stood out. I wholeheartedly recommend Under the Oak to anyone seeking catering services. Their food, service, and commitment to excellence made our wedding experience unforgettable.

    Avoid

    Under the Oak's food looked nothing like the pictures we were sent in our quote and when we placed out order. There was no presentation, food was incredibly small, and they were an hour late in arriving to my venue and then were unable to work the oven and therefore dinner was an hour delayed when served to my guests. The food was not cooked, looked terrible, and so small. I would highly advise to avoid Under the Oak.


Due to the high demand for our services and our commitment to quality over quantity, we have the following seasonal food and beverage minimums for full service events, these do not including tax, labor, and service fee: January - March : $2500 April - June : $3500 July - mid August : $2500 Mid August - September : $3500 October - November : $4000 December : $3500
We recommend meeting 2 more times after your tasting. One meeting will focus on finalizing menus and headcount. One to go over final venue and wedding logistics.
Yes! This is a complimentary service.
For summer and fall weddings, we recommend at least 10 months in advance.
Yes, we offer tastings for you and a guest for a small fee. This fee will then be credited back to you should you book your event with us. Tastings are typically scheduled on a Sunday and last about 1 hour.
