I can not recommend Johanna and her crew enough! Our crew of 30+ have used her catering services every summer for our family vacation. Her food is delicious and the service is so friendly and warm. They are like family now. They are able to cater to our wide variety of palates as well--vegan, vegetarian, and even celiac. It is wonderful! Highly recommend!
We simply cannot say enough great things about Johanna's food, service and attention to detail. She catered our daughter's wedding last weekend in Corolla, the Outer Banks, and the food was definitely the highlight of the evening. We received so many compliments! We are former caterers ourselves from the DC area, so we are sometimes hard to please but Johanna and her staff blew us away. We highly recommend her to anyone planning an event that simply has to be perfect - because perfection what they deliver!!
Johanna and her team knocked it out of the park. From the tasting to the final bite on wedding night, everything was consistently exceptional. Guests are still raving about how delicious every dish was. She was so flexible — adjusting menus for dietary restrictions, shifting service timelines when rain threatened, and customizing small details just for us. Her staff was professional, warm, prompt, and attentive from cocktail hour through cleanup. The value we got for such high quality food is unbeatable. We’d hire Johanna’s a hundred times over. If she is available for your wedding, do yourselves a favor and stop searching and book her and her team immediately then make sure your planner works with her team to get you a taste of everything off the menu so you don't miss out on one delicious bite!
We used Johanna’s catering for our wedding and they were wonderful! Absolutely delicious food, extremely accommodating, and amazing staff. Loved them!
We used Johanna’s to cater my daughter’s wedding in the Outer Banks, and everything was absolutely phenomenal! From the very first tasting earlier in the year, Johanna impressed us with her attention to detail and her ability to understand exactly what the bride and groom were looking for.
For the wedding itself, we had incredible pass-around appetizers, followed by a duet plate featuring locally caught fish and filet, both were cooked to perfection. We also offered a delicious vegetarian option and a kids’ meal, which were both thoughtful additions that made sure everyone felt included and well taken care of. We used Johanna’s bartenders, who were wonderful, and later in the evening, Espresso Martinis were served, which our guests absolutely loved.
With 164 guests in attendance, the food and service were seamless, elegant, and unforgettable. We are still receiving compliments about how amazing the food was! Johanna was such a joy to work with, and her team truly went above and beyond to make the evening perfect.
I cannot recommend Johanna’s highly enough for anyone planning a wedding or special event in the Outer Banks.
Johanna’s catered our wedding which was outdoors on a super windy day. They adjusted to the weather easily and served an amazing meal that was more than enough food for over 100 guests!!! People were complimenting the food for days after. They also did a great job with the bar. Highly recommend for weddings/events!! Thanks for everything, y’all!

Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was! If you’re looking for a catering team that is talented, professional, and a joy to work with, Johanna’s Catering is the one.

Perfect! Johanna’s catering had a great selection of menu items, pricing was very reasonable, everyone at the wedding raved about the food, and the staff was prompt and professional. Highly recommend!
Johanna's private dinner service was wonderful! We had a party of 9 at a home in OBX and everyone raved about our 5 course dinner. For starters we had crab cakes over corn salad (my favorite) and then the strawberry salad. For mains we had seared mahi over jasmine rice & then the braised short ribs over mashed potatoes. Dessert was a delicious key lime pie tart. The food was delicious and service was super friendly. Thank you so much for such a fun evening!

We recently used Johanna’s for my daughter’s backyard wedding. Everything was delicious and the servers were excellent. I would definitely use them again!
The chef is highly recommended for private events. A large dinner party for 19 people, including children, was recently hosted, and the experience was flawless. The appetizers during the cocktail hour were creative and flavorful, providing a perfect start to the evening. The four-course plated dinner that followed was a masterpiece. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. The timing was impeccable, and every plate arrived at the ideal temperature. The chef was also wonderfully accommodating of the children, ensuring they had a delicious meal served with the adults' courses. Hiring the Johanna and her staff resulted in a completely relaxed and memorable evening, and the kitchen was left spotless.
We recently celebrated my birthday and had the pleasure of working with Johanna’s Catering, and I cannot say enough about how wonderful the experience was. From start to finish, the service was exceptional — professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. Every detail was handled beautifully, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the celebration.
Thank you Johanna & Kelly!!
We recently had the pleasure of hosting an event catered by Johanna and it was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and elevated our small gathering to another level.
Every dish was prepared with care, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. We can't rave enough about the freshness and creativity of the menu—it was restaurant-quality dining, right in the comfort of our own home. Whether it was appetizers, entrées, or desserts, each bite impressed.
The meals, the options, the delivery and the presentation, year after year, is why we keep calling Johanna's. Thank you!!!
