The meal was outstanding--crisp, fresh salad, perfectly prepared grouper, and a key lime pie dessert that was absolutely delicious. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. They served a group of 8 of us as we celebrated a bride-to-be, and it truly made the evening special and stress-free. I highly recommend this chef for any special occasion!

He was a pleasure to deal with, his food was delicious and his service was great! He set the table including a printed menu with the dishes he created for us, served us as if we were in a restaurant and cleaned up everything. The experience was truly amazing. Will definitely be calling him again!

Chef Jake catered a private dinner for our group of 10 during a trip to Savannah, and it ended up…read morebeing one of the highlights of our vacation. We needed the entire meal to be gluten-free, and Chef Jake put together an incredible menu that everyone loved. Even the guests who don't normally eat gluten-free couldn't stop talking about how good everything was. You would never have guessed it was a gluten-free meal. The standout dessert was his homemade gluten-free amaretto apple cake--it was absolutely outstanding and the perfect way to end the evening. We're still talking about it. Chef Jake arrived right on time at our rental home, prepared an amazing meal from scratch, and was friendly, professional, and fun to chat with while he cooked. He struck the perfect balance of being engaging without ever feeling intrusive. When dinner was over, he handled every bit of the cleanup and left the kitchen spotless. Being able to enjoy a restaurant-quality meal without leaving the house--and then not having to do a single dish--made for such a relaxing evening. If you're visiting Savannah or you're local and looking for a private chef, I can't recommend Chef Jake highly enough. The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and the entire experience was worth every penny. We'd absolutely hire him again the next time we're in town.

We used Thrive to cater our family union celebration in August 2024. Guests enjoyed the food…read moreoptions, but my husband and I had a less than favorable experience with this company. We scheduled a tasting a few months prior. Thrive was an approved vendor for The Clyde Venue, so there was a level of trust we had without having conversations with the caterer because of how well the venue was providing services to us as humans, and not as walking dollar signs. The tasting went well. The form filled ahead of time was a bit overwhelming with the amount of options, but it's better to have too many choices than not enough, which was awesome to see. After the tasting, we had a consultation with a coordinator to select our menu options and discuss price point, we had a strict budget to stick to. When we submitted our deposit, there was an issue with the payment. It wasn't until I had the conversation with the vendor did I notice that we were charged more then the payment we discussed to pay, hence the payment not going through. We were charged an additional tent fee because The Clyde did not have a kitchen. Something we know from the Clyde, but we didn't know we would be charged an addition fee- neither the Clyde nor Thrive told us. At this point, we had a conversation with the owner and expressed our grievances for, what felt like, unethical business practices in relation to lack of communication regarding payment. We paid the fee anyways. Fast forward to our event, and the some of the food didn't look or taste anything like what we sampled. We understand cooking in bulk is different than a sample, but I was very disappointed. The caterers also left quickly when their time was done, so we didn't have a chance to thank them. My guests mentioned they did not see a "tent". After writing a review for the Clyde, we were contacted by our day of coordinator who was also confused about the fee we were charged. She reached out to thrive and resolved the issue for us, but it, again, felt like we were being taken advantage of which is something that felt icky for us the whole time. Unsure if we would use this company again, but they didn't not meet our expectations.

My husband and I just recently got married and used Paul Kennedy Catering to cater our wedding…read morereception and we were AMAZED at how good of a job they did! They arrived on time and kept our guests full and happy. We chose the southern style buffet since we were getting married in the south and everything was so delicious! All of our guests were just raving at how good the food was so we were so pleased. Another thing we really liked about PKC is that they didn't try to nickle and dime us like some caterers. They had a set price and it included real silverware and real plates. In our searches, we noticed that most caterers charged extra for these items and we felt that was ridiculous. Planning a wedding is stressful so when we came across PKC and they were making it easy on us, we were very anxious to use them. And we are so glad we did! If you are looking to get married and want extreme professionalism, scrumptious food and wonderful service, call Paul Kennedy Catering!!
