8 Best Caterers near Columbia

“I used Chef's catering for my wedding this past Sunday, May 4th 2025. My husband, guests and myself, were blown away with the quality of the food and the service we received. I had guests with severe allergy restrictions, I had vegetarians and celiac disease guests. They prepared meals separately and took every precaution that allergies were a top concern without sacrificing any quality to the food served for everyone. They provided multiple options to accommodate my guests. They catered offsite at our venue - Orchard View Lavender Farms (see my review there as well). Firstly, I want to say that working with Nancy to plan my wedding was a pleasant experience. We started discussing planning before the holidays, and to be honest, with everything going on it fell to the way side for a bit. Nancy followed up to check in but never, not once, made me feel pressured for a choice, decision or answer. She also made suggestions, and gave her honest opinion on food choices. She was quick to reply on emails, calls and texts, if she didn't have an answer she gave me an ETA on when I would hear back. Lisa, the owner, is amazing. She was in attendance during our tasting, and even offered other popular dishes that we also immediately added to our offerings. The pricing is more than reasonable, and as a bride on budget in 2025 this truly caused concerns for me, but those feelings were immediate extinguished with Chef's extensive offerings. Everything was customizable, we were able to do more of one dish and less of another. There was no minimum and no maximum required. I never felt pressured to add more or was told "no". They even offered a bar package that was customizable and fit for me needs, with adding on a signature drink as well. I could not be happier with the services and care these ladies provided, as well as the rest of the staff there. Everyone was so kind, caring, and sweet. The staff at the venue were kind to guests, we always had a drink in hand as well. I would give Chef's 10 stars if I could, and I will keep them in mind any time I need a platter or plate of anything for hosting. My husband and I will also be sure to visit their restaurant to sample the rest of their extensive menu.“

“I was out on a bike ride and it started storming. I happened to be near and remember stopping at this place for mid ride food in the past. They allowed to get myself and my bike out of the rain and wait it out. Amazingly nice of them and says a lot about the service they offer too. Thanks again, it will not be forgotten“
