Mrs. Teresa with The Rustic Hawk took such amazing care of us. She is kind and her work is excellent—top tier in my opinion! My reception food has gotten so many compliments for how tasty it was and how beautifully it was presented! She also had an amazing team that made the reception go so smoothly. It couldn’t have been a better experience!!

ic Hawk for two of our children’s weddings. The menu selections that she has is perfect! We’ve used the appetizer menu which was beyond our expectations and also a full supper with two entrees. You just cannot go wrong choosing them to cater. They take great pride in their food preparation and more importantly taking care of our family and friends as they celebrated our children with us. Thank you Rustic Hawk for taking that aspect of our busy wedding days and making it elegant and delicious.

So much to say for this caterer. I had originally hired someone else but the tasting went AWFUL and with only 6 to 8 months to my wedding I was so worried we'd be up a creek as far...
as food goes. Teresa was SO sweet, very prompt, and worked with us to create a menu that was so good everybody wanted seconds and thirds!!
We didn't want anything crazy, we did baked chicken (super juicy) gravy, garlic Mashed potatoes, Roasted veggies and green beans with her winter salad.
When I tell you I had people the next day telling me how good the food was I mean it. She brings water lemonade and tea as well, with Utensils if you need them, her and her crew were INCREDIBLY sweet, used some of my leftover florals to decorate so everything matched, and they cut up our cake!! I could not have been happier with the service we received for the price 💕💕 10000/10, I would recommend her to everyone in the hattiesburg/laurel area!
