We're so excited by this amazing review from Shanya! ✨ Your kind words mean the world to us!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Outstanding food and service! Catering By Design®️ was a fantastic choice for our wedding! It was important to us to have authentic Southern BBQ when we were looking for caterers. By the end of our tasting with Catering By Design®️, we knew we were in great hands. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was! The catering team was just as impressive—friendly, professional, and so attentive throughout the day."

We pride ourselves on attention to detail and creating stress-free experiences so couples can focus on what matters most - celebrating their love! ❤️

Social event rule #1: Feed them well... the vibes will follow 🤤🎶💃

Ever notice how a room changes when the food arrives? The smiles get bigger, the conversation flows, and suddenly your event transforms from good to unforgettable.

We've seen it hundreds of times. Nothing brings people together like sharing amazing food. When guests aren't hungry, they're free to enjoy everything else your event offers.

The secret isn't just serving food, it's serving food worth talking about.

The logistics of preparing and serving this many hot dogs is actually pretty impressive!
