Denise and her crew did an absolute fantastic job with our wedding out in Whitwell, TN at Mountain Willow Manor! We could not have been more pleased with how the wedding went! She helped so much with coordinating, decorating, food, and everything! It was flawless! Communication was fantastic, she really helped deal with other vendors for the wedding, setting up a timeline, and just making the whole experience very smooth. The food included was absolutely incredible! Having a bartender really helped and the ability to pick up our cake and bring it and provide all the dishware for the wedding was

We had the pleasure of hiring Denise and her amazing crew to cater our daughters wedding on April 24th. To say that it went seamlessly is an understatement! We never once worried about any of the catering details! Denise and her staff were also hired to cater the rehearsal dinner and it was delicious! Plenty of food for everyone to go back for seconds! Her staff was very personable and accommodating throughout the event! We even have some footage of her staff dancing with us! Would highly recommend for any event! Very professional

We initially entered an agreement plus $1500.00 down for our event, we closely evaluated the agreement which was open ended, which in turn would have been extremely expensive. We then contacted another caterer which provided all that Denise was going to, at half the cost with better quality and all we wanted. When we elected to cancel, trying to get refunded the deposit was a chore in its self. So unless you have deep pockets be warned

Their service was better than I have every experienced at the top 5 star resorts in Vegas and Orlando! But their food was even better! Their food tasted better and more high-class than any other restraint or catering dinner I have ever been to.
