Rocky Top Catering truly knocked it out of the park for our wedding! From our first tasting to the final bite on our big day, everything was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Our guests are still raving about the food and so are we!

The staff was just as impressive as the cuisine—professional, warm, and incredibly attentive. They made sure everything ran smoothly and that all of our guests felt taken care of.

Rocky Top made our reception feel elevated and effortless, and we are so thankful for their exceptional service and care. If you want to wow your guests with top-tier food and a seamless experience, Rocky Top is the way to go!

As a wedding planner, I know that when Rocky Top is part of the vendor team, they will always exceed expectations. Their attention to detail and commitment to exceptional service never fail to impress, and the food is always outstanding. As a caterer, they have a unique ability to craft a menu that perfectly reflects each client's vision while also delivering their signature crowd favorites that showcase their culinary expertise. We truly value their team and know that with them on board, every event will run smoothly and be unforgettable.
A special shoutout to Vicki, Kadie, Kevin, Tess, Jordan, and Clayton! Thanks for all you do for our team and clients.

I recently photographed a wedding that was catered by Rocky Top Catering and I would highly recommend them for your wedding or event!
During cocktail hour the servers were efficient and very attentive to the guests circulating with passed hors d'oeuvres. The dinner service was timely and the food was delicious!

Rocky Top provided the wedding food of our dreams!! Every single bite was absolutely delicious. From initial inquiry to our tasting to crafting our final menu to our actual event, everything went super smoothly. Carley was our contact and was a dream to work with! Our guests told me over and over how it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding. When I first started my catering vendor hunt for my wedding, I was torn between going with a smaller local caterer or a larger one like Rocky Top. It immediately became clear to me that based on price, responsiveness, flexibility, friendliness, and menu options, the right fit for us was Rocky Top. Thank you for being part of our special day!

RTC catered our wedding ceremony. We are so satisfied with the quality of the food and service. The staff was so professional and kind. Our guests were impressed by the level of service that was provided. The food actually tasted better when plated for the service than it did at the actual tasting. If we need catering in the future, RTC will be our top consideration.

Very fun and well organized team building event (cooking a meal containing certain ingredients). Can highly recommend.

The New Year's Eve party was very good, but there was a waitress with her hair completely loose serving the appetizer buffet. I saw her hair touching the bread, and I thought it was totally unhygienic to have hair in the food. The desserts could have been tastier. I saw that many people tried them but didn't like them. Here's a tip for future parties.

Rocky Top provided an amazing food choices for our winter wedding. The staff was responsive and extremely helpful throughout the planning process and the day. The food and drinks were also AMAZING!

Dare I say best wedding food ever? We had Rocky Top cater our wedding a few weeks ago and the food was the talk of the day! I still have people telling me weeks later that they are thinking about the food at our wedding. Our faves were the tomato soup shooters, the Asiago and sun dried tomato stuffed chicken, and the mac n cheese (seriously, can I have the recipe???)

The whole Rocky Top team was also just a breeze to work with, Nichole was so kind, lovely, and communicative. The staff working day of was attentive and funny.

We can’t recommend enough!

Rocky Top does such a wonderful job with their food and alcohol. We used them to cater our wedding; they provided hors d’oeuvres, entrees, desserts, late night snack pizza (highly recommended!), and a full bar. They also let us serve two signature cocktails. We went to a food tasting and loved all of the selections we chose, during it they gave us a sample of desserts (even though we hadn’t decided to use them for desserts). They were so delicious that we came back for a second tasting for just desserts, at no extra charge, and decided on a selection of their mini desserts to serve. During our wedding the wait staff did a great job of walking food around to all of the guests during cocktail hour and serving our plated meal in a timely manner, where no guest was left waiting. The food was perfect! The bar staff did a good job of keeping the line moving and serving deliciously crafted cocktails the whole night. Rocky Top did a great job of listening to our wants and working with our wedding planner and rental company to make sure we had everything we needed for the night.

Rocky Top was a great choice for our wedding! I greatly enjoyed the food and many guests commented on how much they loved everything, esp the vegan chocolate cupcakes. The staff was also kind and efficient is setting up and cleaning up. They really helped make our special day extra special! Thank you!

We used Rocky Top for both our rehearsal dinner and for our wedding reception. They are top-notch. Kevin was our contact at Rocky Top and he was professional and responsive during the entire process.

These pictures are from the tasting and the food was incredible. They’ve got a ton of different options and also do late-night snacks for the reception.

For the rehearsal dinner, we went with a chef-attended carving station and veggies served buffet style. Everything was hot and tasty and the staff were great.

For the wedding sit-down dinner, we had braised beef short ribs, salmon, and vegetarian options. Each came with their own side. I’m impressed with how well they cook for the masses because it was just as good as the tasting! The pimento beef sliders for the late-night snack and the flaming donut station were especially popular. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved our wedding food!

Having great food at a wedding is crucial and Rocky Top delivered. 10/10 recommend!

We used Rocky Top for our wedding and could not be happier with the cocktail hour and reception service! Kevin and his team were fantastic to work with from start to finish. Kevin was responsive, professional and guided us through the planning process so well. We participated in a tasting at Rocky Top as well which was a great experience. The food was great, they handled allergies well and everyone had a hot dinner! We truly enjoyed working with Kevin and greatly appreciate all he did for us.

We booked Rocky Top for our wedding and it was a great experience from the tasting to the big day!

Our event included passed appetizers, along with fresh oysters during cocktail hour, and a BBQ buffet for dinner! Everyone was full and happy!
