Curtis and his employees at Royal Grand Events catered my daughter's wedding on October 5. Just…read morelike Sophia, if I could give Curtis 10 stars, I would! He is an excellent communicator and is very responsive. He really understands what it takes to run a professional catering business and goes over and above the call of duty to make sure everything is perfect. Not only did he provide excellent suggestions for the menu, he also sent over sample floor plans so the bride could decide on the layout/placement for everything at the reception. He is willing to work with you to provide the best menu possible within your budget. Because of his attention to every detail, he made sure that everything came together seamlessly so that you can just enjoy your event. And that we did! Everything was delicious - starting with the Local Oysters on the half-shell, Chicken sliders, Smoked Salmon Canapés, and Tomato & Pesto Crostini during cocktail hour. For our meal, we had a wonderful mix of Steamed Veggies, Grilled Honey Mango BBQ Glazed Chicken (YUM!), Charleston Shrimp And Grits (with turkey bacon instead of pork in the gravy, yay!), and Garlic And Herb Mashed Potatoes with gravy. Not only was the food delicious, Curtis also provided a beautiful ice sculpture and carved melon that was the perfect decoration for the oyster bar! We were also impressed with his staff. They did an excellent job making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the event. If you are planning a wedding reception or any other special event in the Charleston area, I highly recommend Royal Grand Events!

Chef Curtis is the BEST!!! If I could give him 10 stars, I would!! Just like the other reviewer,…read moreI had to do all my wedding planning long distance (I live in SanFrancisco), but I was in great hands with Chef Curtis. He never failed to respond to emails within a couple hours, despite the fact that he was in a time zone 3 hours ahead of mine. I sent emails at 11 pm and still received a response that night! He once said that he has an Android operating system implanted in his brain, and I don't even think he was joking! He is a perfectionist with a true passion for his job, which is reflected in every aspect of his product. He makes it very clear that his number 1 priority is to make your reception the very best that it can be, and he is committed to making that happen. He has my vote for Best Caterer in Charleston, which I am confident will be his official title someday. He is a genius of his craft, and I know that it will only be time before others recognize it too. Thanks, Chef Curtis, for everything! You are completely AMAZING!!!!

Very bad experience with their catering. After I had to cancel Just Stuff It held my money for 90…read moredays and when I asked where my money was they admitted that my money was being used to service other customers. Highly unethical. I was never told this when I paid for their catering service and a contract was never offered. I did not learn about this 90 day refund policy they had until I had to cancel. In addition, I had paid the entire amount for the catering when I was only required to provide a 50% deposit. When I questioned the amount of the refund as what was being withheld should only be based on the deposit, I was told that paying in full was my decision, not their requirement so they would withhold money based on the total paid. My good faith payment was used against me. I canceled 60 days prior to my event so they had ample time to adjust as I am not in the habit of financing services for other customers or providing short term business loans.

We have a couple of foodies in our crowd, and no one was disappointed! Two completely different menus were both delicious; and cooked to perfection with wonderfully complex flavors complementing but not overwhelming the high quality, fresh ingredients. As if that wasn't enough, Jessica is not only a talented cook, but also totally organized, making the preparation, delivery, and clean up look effortless. Highly recommended!! We had two under-sixes in the group as well, and dinner with JLOKitchens was so much more fun than hauling them out to a restaurant. Treat yourself! You'll be glad you did!

I hired JLoKitchens for my best friend's bachelorette party. Everything was great until 2 days…read morebefore the event. 8 of us drove down from Atlanta. This was going to be my special gift to my best friend because she loves yoga and cooking. It was perfect. I made tank tops for all the bachelorettes to wear during yoga with cute yoga sayings on them. I went out of my way to get tables for the cooking class and everything. Two days before the event JLoKitchens confirmed that we would start at 930AM and then out of no where she cancelled the entire thing on me - yes, two days before the event. She stated she had been sick since Sunday but yet, didn't tell me then and therefore left me with no time to make plans. This was going to be the highlight of our weekend - she ruined it. She had told me that she was cooking, but a woman Tarah would be the yoga instructor. I said, I expect Tarah will still be there and that she can bring the food with her (and we'll just have to cook for ourselves). She wouldn't explain to me why Tarah was also suddenly available. As a professional, responsible business owner she should have had a back-up plan in place especially if she wasn't feeling well earlier in the week. Also, she never explained what happened to Tarah which leads me to believe she just dropped the ball and didn't book this despite us having been in communication for several months. She said sorry and refunded my deposit promptly but didn't fix the mess she created. It's not even about the money - I'm heartbroken that I won't be able to give my best friend this special gift and that we have such a bad experience associated with this weekend. If you're going to work with JLoKitchens you better have a back up plan.
