Chef's Market

ood and desserts. Emily and Hallie were a pleasure to work with, and we can't recommend them enough!

er. We did southern-themed cuisine since more of our guests are from out of town and everything was a huge hit. I especially appreciated how accomodating they were around dietary restrictions among our guests, and the covid-friendly options they offered for serving a buffet safely. I can't recommend them enough!

n cuisine. We had a handful of dietary restrictions (nut allergy, gluten free, vegetarian, and black pepper allergies) and they handled it without issue, ensuring that all necessary preparations were managed safely.

like a celebrity. The only thing is tip is not included in the price, just something to consider. Would absolutely recommend and hire again.

us. We had a private room with the caterer and our planner to try full sizes of EVERYTHING we may have wanted on our menu. It was difficult to choose the menu as everything was some of the best food we’ve tasted. Jim was also so understanding of our budget and did everything he could to help keep costs down. Jim also is so flexible with dietary restrictions, gluten free, allergies, etc. he even made my sister salmon which was not on our menu for our guests. (She doesn’t like red meat or shrimp which is what we had). Everyone was so accommodating! We (bride and groom) also got the royal treatment with servers asking if we needed anything special or if our wine glass was empty they were right there asking if we wanted more. All of our guests gushed over the foods and desserts which is what we wanted in our caterer! I would highly recommend this vendor.

steak (for my Brazilian husband and his family). Along with a mashed potato bar and salad. I was very worried about the specialty cocktails (idk why?) but they ended up being delicious!!! The staff was professional and good at what they do. They served my husband and I as soon as we sat down so the bride and groom got to eat! And packed us a to go box which was in the car ready for us at the end of the night. Really great experience and i would use them all over again.

o tacos that were presented so beautifully. All of our guests raved about the food and presentation. There were no worries about running out of food, but we also weren't left with much waste which was exactly how we wanted it! Emily worked side by side with us to create the perfect menu and was responsive to all of our requests. We couldn't have been happier!

again and again!

or food (s'mores bar, NYC pizza, mini pies, and a chocolate skillet cookie bar) and they were so accommodating. There is nothing they can't do!!

ily! The food served at our cocktail hour and reception was top notch. Our guests are still raving about the selection to this day! Even those guests with the most discriminating taste, stated to have really enjoyed our menu. We also could not believe how amazing John H. was at managing our event! He insured everything went smoothly and took care of our needs. Thank you, John! Chef's market is talented, professional, dependable, and accommodating! If you are looking for a delightful food experience for yourself and your guests, book Chef's Market!!! You will be very pleased that you did!"

y and would definitely choose them again!

e my first call! Jim Hagy, John Hagy and Ricky Carroll along with their professional and wonderful team made our dream wedding a reality. So many people commented on the delicious spread they served, as well as with the remarkable presentation they put together! It was both lovely and tasty, and the icing on the cake was working with their flawlessly professionally and kind staff throughout the process. They created a truly personal menu, recreating our favorite dish from our go-to date-night spot, as well incorporating a taste of Memphis as a nod to my groom's hometown. I have never heard my Memphian husband say a kind word about anyone's BBQ outside of his hometown, so it made me smile ear-to-ear when he took a bite of their Memphis-style BBQ slider saying "oh my gosh that's delicious" with his mouth still full of the juicy bite! They had prepared us a delicious spread in a private room upon arrival giving us a moment as bride and groom to have our first married meal together so we could head to our reception and enjoy our guests without having to worry about making a plate when we got there. They went out of their way to make everything picture perfect, calling my florist in advance to coordinate their buffet serving pieces and flow with the centerpiece he was creating, as well as recommending a coffee bar vendor to complement their spread and personally giving him a call to check his availability and pricing on my behalf. At the end of the night, they even loaded up our getaway car with food for my husband and I to enjoy back at our hotel after the party! If you are looking for a caterer that can wow your guests' tastebuds, Chef's is for you. If you are looking for a caterer that can put together a presentation that will wow you and add to the overall look and feel of your wedding, Chef's is for you.

potential caterers with a lot of guidance. However, the first time I spoke with Jim and described our wedding and the feel that we wanted (relaxed, familial, fun), he came up with a potential buffet menu on the spot that was perfect! Because we were getting married in the South, he suggested an "upscale Southern theme" to our food, so we had a buffet of upgraded chicken and waffles, Jack Daniels braised beef short ribs, sweet potato casserole, roasted vegetables, and smoked gouda mac and cheese. Our passed appetizers were also amazing (friend green tomatoes w/ pimento cheese, BLT cups and shrimp and grit cups). We didn't want a cake, so Chef's Market also put together a dessert buffet with banana pudding, peach cobbler, chocolate chess pie and key lime pie. Everyone at our wedding told us this was their favorite wedding food. The people at Chef's Market were also great to work with, and they provided really beautiful flowers and decorations as part of the buffet set up. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone getting married in the Nashville area !

s feel so special. They were very accommodating to our budget while still ensuring that we got exactly what we wanted! My main priority was to have great food and with their help, we more than succeeded. I am still getting compliments about how delicious our food was! While their food is phenomenal, what really sets them apart is their amazing service and displays. They matched the food table decor perfectly to my style and were so attentive and service-oriented with my guests. I will definitely be using Chef's Market for any of my future catering needs!

ated request for a caterer in Nashville. We wanted authentic Indian food and deeply southern American food for our fusion wedding. Chef's Market pulled it off insanely well! The food was DELICIOUS. Jim was the most wonderful and accommodating host for our tasting at their restaurant. We were thrilled with the choices they made for us and were allowed to make suggestion for a completely individual and personal experience. All of the food at the wedding was hot, and exactly as it was in the tasting. Absolutely fabulous catering company, will definitely use them again!

lso got us exactly the menu we were hoping for. Any questions I had throughout the whole planning process were answered quickly and I was encouraged to ask as many questions as I needed to. Closer to the wedding date - to my surprise - they also wanted to meet to make sure their stations matched my decor and my wedding theme. They were beyond helpful and were onsite during the reception to make sure everything ran smoothly! Plus, the most important part - the food was DELICIOUS! The groom and I also got our own plates of food so we could eat before we came into the reception and we also got food to take back to our hotel with us for a late night snack!

even made our wedding cake. Bo was able to make the menu work within our budget easily. He even suggested a location for our reception! Chef's Market did a great job and their food is delicious!

list and when I was describing the type of food we wanted we were told this was the place. We made an appointment with Carol and went in for a food tasting. My husband was in a state of bliss afterwards. Carol took us through the line and anything we wanted to taste was put on a plate. She then gave us time to try everything and discuss. When she returned we narrowed down our favorites and we made a custom menu. I mentioned that I wanted food stations instead of buffet or plated and no problem. A salad station (baby greens and spinach, multiple fresh toppings, nuts and cheeses, three different dressings), pasta station (build your own with three different pastas, three sauces, chicken, shrimp and other toppings) and carving station (beef tenderloin, veggies, garlic and sweet potato mash and several types of dinner rolls). I am addicted to hummus and wanted that to be served during cocktail hour and no problem there either (three different types with multiple breads and crackers). Budget was a huge concern since we were expecting 200 guests. She worked with us and we were under $35/person including the cocktail hour food! When we arrived at our venue they brought down a hummus platter for the wedding party and even made the groom and I plates of food and brought them to the table for us during dinner. Every single guest raved about the food. No one waited in a long line and the presentation of the foods was brilliant! They put little touches like a fresh basil plant at the salad station which the gardeners of the family could not stop talking about! Hands down Chef's Market provided outstanding service and the most amazing food I have ever had. Since we did not have much time to eat during the wedding we have made plans to go to the store front to quench our cravings!

ised at how involved he was with my wedding and even came along to meet with my coordinator at the reception venue. He and his staff are exceptionally friendly and courteous. My parents absolutely loved him and even invited him to the reception. The food is amazing and their presentation is by far the most creative that I have ever seen at a reception. Thanks Chef's Market!!!

livered a great meal! We decided to do food stations instead of a buffet or sit down meal, and all our guests were raving about how great the food was- especially the mac n cheese station.

. They incorporated the elements of the wedding into their design which I wasn't expecting. Also, the shrimp and grits was also a big hit. Extremely friendly and helpful serving staff. Everyone raved about it.

d us with both a red and white he bought just to have during our appointment. They are nothing short of terrific there! I HIGHLY recommend them. The food was amazing at our reception!!!

dding.

happy when we had our food tasting. The staff is so friendly and the food is delicious! From the spinach queso and orzo rice all the way to coffee and cookies filled with different flavors - everything was tasty! They even decorate all of the food tables and stations to coordinate with your theme so you don't have to pay for more arrangements from a florist. I went to the take away restaurant after we got home from the honeymoon so we could try more items on their menu. Highly recommend you use for any event or stop in for to go meals!

ound the appetizers. Our meal was a huge buffet and the food was hot, delicious, and again, the service was wonderful. Cake service came with it as well!
