ABOUT US

“One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.” ~Luciano Pavarotti and William Wright

At Events with Taste our love of food is evident throughout all our menus. We constantly find or create new menu items. The never ending need to create new menus keeps driving us to learn and grow. We use as many local growers and vendors as seasons allow. Our belief in sustainability and the slow food movement helped to position our organization as representative of true cutting edge culinary talent. Our innovative chef-inspired menus feature stylish food and sophisticated flavors that entertain and satisfy guests of our clients.

Events with Taste is Chattanooga’s premier full service caterer for social, corporate and special events. A leader in Chattanooga for more than 15 years, we are large enough to handle thousands, yet nimble enough to work magic for 10. Every Events with Taste celebration is alive with artistry, flavor and allure. We pride ourselves on attention to detail, responsiveness to our clients, excellent service staff and custom menus ranging from the delicate to the robust.

OUR PROCESS

Events with Taste menus are custom; every one of them! It took us a while to develop the process, but we actually prepare every menu from scratch based on your specific likes and dislikes, dietary constraints, budget, venue and the context of the event. We believe that food can tell “a story.” There are no menus to pick and choose from. We may take as long as a few weeks in menu preparation during certain busy seasons, but we have literally hundreds of clients who will testify it was well worth the wait.

When you contact us we will guide you through the process of getting us enough information to create your custom menu. We first collect important logistics information about your event, such as venue, time and date, number of guests, type of event, basic furniture required, service format (buffet, plated meal, family style, or food stations), type of service ware required, entertainment needs, menu restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free), and budget. In the case of a wedding reception we ask the couple to complete a food survey together as well. The food survey asks a series of questions about likes and dislikes, including expectations of important family members. We take those two bodies of information and create a proposed menu, complete with pricing. We can then have a really productive meeting, either on the phone or in person, to refine the menu to make it perfect, and to make it yours.
