Great food, amazing service!

Rocky Top was amazing to work with!! They made the whole process super easy. They have a wide variety of delicious food including vegan options. There was even a box of extra entrees and desserts packed up for my husband and I to take with us after the reception. We thought that was such a nice touch! Everything was so perfect and delicious. We really couldn’t have asked for a better catering company!

Amazing food!

Their food is amazing. Since we tried their short ribs, we couldn’t wait till our wedding day to have them again. Also, we went to an open house and had some of their food which is when we decided to use them. I believe we ate about five of their chocolate mousse cups because they were so delicious. They were very helpful during the tasting and were able to tweak some of the menu items to make it more specific to our tastes. Also, Rocky top team was lovely to work with. They were very responsive and answer any questions that we had. Only downside, we were bummed we didn’t have as much left over food for us. Would highly recommend

Enthusiastically recommend working with Rocky Top Catering!

I cannot speak highly enough of Rocky Top Catering and specifically of Vicki Tong and the service that she delivered on our wedding day! We had our wedding at The Upchurch recently and Rocky Top blew away our expectations. Our menu was constantly changing up until the very end, and Vicki was extremely accommodating, working with us to revise our contract and share any recommendations quickly. What impressed me most was the way that Vicki collaborated with our other vendors (venue, rentals, etc.) and brought any necessary revisions to my attention, this was extremely helpful! My dad has been in the catering industry for 20+ years and has been singing Vicki’s praises since we started the planning process with Rocky Top, the compliments only doubled after the wedding day once he had the food. We had both the mac and cheese bar and the sliders at our cocktail hour and we are still hearing about those two menu items from our guests. Guests have gone as far as to say “best mac and cheese I’ve ever had in my life” and “I still think about the sliders from your wedding and wish I could have another.” The food was a highlight for our guests and a highlight for us too! During our tasting the food was so good that my husband was eating the food off of my plate too and the portions were huge, the food was just that good! For our reception we opted for the potato bar and that was another hit with guests. All of the food was just as good if not better on the day of the wedding as it was at the tasting. We had an open bar and the drinks were delicious! Our bartenders and the entire Rocky Top staff at the wedding were extremely professional and friendly. Working with Rocky Top made me want to have another party just to eat their delicious food and drink their great drinks again! Choosing Rocky Top is a no-brainer! I enthusiastically recommend them if you want the food to be a highlight of your wedding day!
