A Silverware Affair

Can't say enough wonderful things about this caterer!! As a former catering company owner myself, I know the work that goes into an event. I can say in all honesty, in my professional opinion, these folks couldn't have done a better job. The on site staff consisted of a team of very attractive, hard working, super nice, and very professional people with a strong positive attitude and a desire to please. The food was much better than I ever expected for the price we paid and although we had fewer guests than we planned for, the remaining food was neatly packaged and sent home with my family. (The next day, my new husband and I enjoyed a lunch of really GREAT leftovers before heading to the airport for a honeymoon in Norway) If you are uneasy or unsure about your caterer, drop them. GO with THIS one!! You will NOT be disappointed!! I give them FIVE STARS on EVERYTHING!!! And will be using them again!!!!

A Silverware Affair was the chosen catering company for the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception for our son's wedding on December 18th, 2011. Every person that we encountered from planning to the day of the actual events were so professional and helpful to us.
The quality of the service was great and the food was fabulous. I highly recommend A Silverware Affair to anyone looking for a catering service.

Everything was absolutely amazing. We got so many compliments on EVERYTHING. Your staff was so courteous and attentive to every guest and they all noticed it. I could not be happier with how it all turned out.

We left straight from the reception to drive to Knoxville and then fly down to our honeymoon at Disney, and the staff had packed us this amazing goodie bag of yummy food to take with us. They included EVERYTHING (even some of BOTH cakes). It was not only delicious, but just wonderful to be able to finally relax as just the two of us and enjoy letting everything sink in about being an officially married couple :)

Thank you again sooooo much for how beautiful and wonderful you made my reception. Not only with the food, but with excellent staff and decorations and well...EVERYTHING. It truly was my dream come true.

We used A SilverWare Affair for my daughter's wedding and were quite pleased with them. They were very accommodating to our requests and very friendly & professional. The food was excellent! I'm picky about food (and everything else!) and it was excellent. I had concerns that a caterer would have 2nd class food but their food was 1st class! The Hors d'oeuvres shrimp was very fresh and I could have made a meal on them. The beef and pepper shiskabob's were great too! The main course was Tilapia and chicken. Both were moist and seasoned nicely. The veggies were great too! Many of our guests complimented them too. Thanks A Silverware Affair!

From the very beginning A Silverware Affair were so helpful. Starting from the meeting and taste testing to figuring out what we wanted as far as silverware, plates, glasses to the awewome food, they were very professional. They were quick to answer any of my questions by phone or by email. Their was no worry at the reception to serving, picking up, cake serving, etc. So many guests complimented the food, and how quick they were to picking up dinner plates. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.. So much so that I used them again for another reception on December 10, 2011.

I was more than happy with the service I received from A Silverware Affair. I was planning from out of town the majority of the time and they responded to all of my needs and questions in a timely manner. (very fast actually) I was impressed by the tasting we scheduled and even more impressed on the day of the wedding. Everything and everyone was wonderful. I highly recommend this company to any bride. (or any company for that matter!) Wonderful service at an affordable price.

We had a tight budget, but also wanted to be able to enjoy our daughter's wedding. We contacted A Silverware Affair & had a tasting. The food was excellent, but on the day of the wedding, it was FANTASTIC!!! There were so many compliments on the food (even by the most avid "foodies") it was unbelievable. The display of it was stunning as well. We had asked for help in terms of service & cleanup. That too was worth every penny, if not a million bucks (if we had it!) They were very unobtrusive & totally professional, walking around refilling drinks, taking away used plates. etc. Then at the end of the evening they asked repeatedly was there anything else they could do & were we satisfied. They left the place immaculately clean. I can't remember names, but Shirley was in charge, I believe-such a sweet person. We certainly have a warm place in our hearts for everything they did for us, making it a totally perfect day. I'd recommend them to anyone for an event. They were just awesome.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to ues "A Silverware Affair" to cater our wedding reception! They were WONDERFUL!!! the staff was excellent and the food was excellent!! will recommend them to everyone we know, and would definately use them for any other catering needs we might have! LOVED them!!!!

The food was fantastic! We did a buffet style! our guests thought it was the best wedding food they had ever had! Great service, great food, and great staff!

I would recommend A Siverware Affair to anybody in need of quality and inventive, different caterings. For example, my girlfriend is half Syrian, and I wanted something with a Middle Eastern feel to it for our anniversary. The Babaghanoush and Tabouleh, along with a few other exotic offerings, were excellent! They offer great specific "stations" as well as "themed" buffets. It kinda satisfies every palate. We had lots of great and surprised comments at after out anniversary party. The staff took the time to answer any questions that I had about which food to use and in what order to present it. They also made the planning of the event much easier and streamlned. A Silverware Affair was very flexible in working around my somewhat "unusual" needs and I will use them in the future.

My original caterer backed out at the last minute and with doing diligent research I came across A Silverware Affair and they were superb. From my first internet interaction to speaking with a live person, I was totally impressed with their professional service. I entrusted them to provide a service and they met my every need. From the cocktail hour to the buffet style dinner the food was absolutely delicious and the staff of A Silverware Affair exceeded our expectations for our wedding on July 24, 2010.

Here was my menu and we loved it - Mini Beef Tenderloin Biscuits with Horseradish Cream, Bacon Wrapped Gulf Sea Scallops, Assorted Garden Fresh Marinated Crudit�s
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Spears, Domestic and International Cheese Selections with Crackers, Crab Imperial Stuffed Mushroom Caps, Baked Spinach and Artichoke Cheese Tartlets, Asian Ginger Sesame Chicken Satays, Assorted Fresh Fruit Display with Vanilla Cream - we had a hard time deciding what to pick but they really helped us out. They did a great job of setting everything up for us and they did exactly what they promised they would - it made our wedding easy! I would definitely use them again...the staff was very nice and seemed really excited about our day and we thought that was so great considering they probably cater a million weddings a year...they were my favorite vendor to deal with!

All I can say is wow!! We had a Firefighter wedding and their decor and set up was beautiful! The food was wonderful!! I received so many compliments about the display and the taste!! Tara and her staff was so easy to work with and responded to my every question I had, which was a lot =) She was very affordable and worked with my budget. They took care of everything with the food, set up and clean up. They even cut and served the cake as well as make me and my husband plates and served us!! I HIGHLY recommend her for any wedding or event!

Tara has been amazing every step of the way! I married a military man and we were planning a wedding date 1 1/2 years away but duty calls and had to plan a wedding in only 3 months. From the moment I contacted Tara for information about A Silverware Affair she answered questions, offered assistance in ideas, helped me stay close to my budget. I called several places and A Silverware Affair beat other prices and was friendlier and more helpful to what I wanted. Our bartender was exceptional, and SO friendly! I have had so many guests compliment how friendly, timely, helpful, presentable, and even how adorable everyone was from this company. After our first dance the waiters came up and said to my husband and I a lot of times the bride and groom get so busy at the reception they forget to eat. We want y'all to eat your plate is ready when you are ready. I just got home from my honeymoon last night and my facebook is filled with comments on how much the food was enjoyed! One of my guests has even asked about A Silverware Affair for their anniversary. One of my appetizers was the sish kabobs- all of them were eaten and today a guest from my wedding told me-"oh my gosh, they were so good I thought I was eating so many I wouldn't have room for my dinner", they were a hit with the children also! Coq Au Vin was our main course and I had never had it and just thought it sounded tasteful and different. We really enjoyed it and my husband has even told me he wants us to try making it!! A Silverware Affair was seriously worth every dollar spent. They arrived on time and was already setting up when I arrived! If I ever know anyone who is looking for a caterer or if I need one again I will be calling Tara back. One of my concerns was me being long distance, (Columbus, Ga). They drove from Atlanta and never even mentioned uping their price for travel expenses. They were truly hassel free and everything was a piece of cake! Thank you so much everyone who helped with my wedding at A Silverware Affair!

A Silverware Affair went above and beyond to make our wedding day run smoothly. The food was delicious and the service was outstanding! They were extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process as well. We had a great overall experience with A Silverware Affair and would recommend them to anyone in need of a caterer for their big day!

Thank you so much! We loved the food & have had many people tell us it was amazing! Your hardwork was greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks a million! If anyone asks I'll gladly say you guys do an amazing job & are great to work with! Thank you for making our night a success! 

A Silverware Affair was a wonderful company to work with and I was impressed from the very beginning when they came to my house to do a tasting!! I had considered several of the big caterers around the Atlanta area and even did some tasting with them but they were so expensive and the food wasn't really anything special. So, after tasting A Silverware Affair's food and comparing their very reasonable pricing, there was NO question in my mind! They were so easy to work with and were able to change things last minute as we thought of more items we wanted to add/remove in the last two weeks of planning. The food was wonderful and guests enjoyed their service throughout the night!

We are writing to say a tremendous thank you for arranging our wedding catering… The day went very smoothly and everything was organized down to the last minute detail. It was done very thoroughly and expertly. A number of our guests commented on the quality of the food and the fact that it disappeared so quickly was a compliment in itself. I realize that an enormous amount of hard work goes into such an event and I am grateful to you for the part that you and your staff played in making the occasion such a success. The standard of service and food were absolutely fantastic and thanks to your banquet manager and staff, we were able to relax and enjoy the evening to the fullest.


We had been impressed by your response to our initial emails and that standard of efficiency and care was maintained throughout. You tolerated our idiosyncratic requirements and questions.


I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your services and hope to be able to use you again in the future.


Again, thank you and the very best.


Regards

This vendor was great! I would use them again if I had another event. We had some problems but they worked with us and it turned out to be a perfect reception because of them!

A Silverware Affair catered both my Bridal Shower and Wedding Reception. I worked closley with the staff for 16 months making tons of changes and additions along the way. They helped guide me, answer any questions and worked with my budget consistinetly over the 16 month period and never made me feel slighted. There food was amazing and there services couldnt be beat! Overall I couldnt have asked for a better working relationship with A Silverware Affair and I look forward to the next big event I need to caterer with them! Highly Recommended!!!

Very pleasant staff!

I used Silverware affair to cater my reception. I had a hard time finding a caterer to even give me the time of day....but when I found Silverware Affair, Tara emailed me back right away and seemed very helpful. I live in FL and got married in TN, so most of our communication was done over email. Everything seemed very simple....maybe too simple. I had asked for a specific type of chairs, the day of my wedding they showed up with the wrong chairs, when I questioned her about it after the wedding, she said yes we had spoke about the chairs but I never told her I wanted them...hello, then why did we speak about the chairs. In emails we had spoke many times about colored table clothes, but I told her I didn't know what color, and I would decide later, she told me that was fine, but when I decided on a color she told me she would have to charge me extra for the colored ones and the white ones she had already put on my contract. I ordered a tossed salad for the buffet which turned out just to be precut lettuce...I didn't think I had to ask if the tossed salad comes with anything other than lettuce, WOULD YOU? The food on the buffet as cold. There were many issues the night of!!! I contacted them after the wedding to talk about all the problems and she had an answer for everything---basically she didnt care cause she already had her money. The staff that worked my event was very friendly and helpful....but I would not recommend this company to anyone---if you do go with them, I would ask MANY QUESTIONS!! Ask about every little detail, even if you think its common sense and you think you know the answer, ask anyway. Even if you see a picture on their website, don't assume that is what you will get---I assumed and I didn't not get what I saw on their website!!

As far as the $300 tip--the staff working my event was great! I had NO ISSUES with the staff working that night. They were very nice and helpful, they did a great job. Why wouldnt we tip them.

A Silverware Affair has been a vendor at our Chattanooga event venue, The Zan Guerry Clubhouse. When a bride tells me they are working with A Silverware Affair, I know it's a great, well-organized event.

A Silverware Affair has always hit a home run when I need a caterer. The staff is incredibly nice and the food is always delicious! I highly recommend this caterer to my clients.

I always love to do events with A Silverware Affair. Tara and her staff are top notch! They're always friendly and professional, and their food and setup always looks beautiful!

very professional and excellent food

Working with Tara was a pleasure. Both she and her staff were not only professional but very nice and helpful. The food was both pleasing to the eye and the stomach!
