I contracted with Savor the Flavor for my wedding after cancelling with another caterer. The experience with the first left me feeling pretty crappy and nervous about the whole thing, but that went away after one phone call with Joelle (at 9 p.m. on a Friday the same day of my first call), who assured me they could throw down good Southern food, help with turning over our ceremony room into a reception room, handle the bar, and do it all at about the same price we'd already budgeted for the cancelled contract.
All of this turned out just as we hoped. Delicious apps (shrimp and grit cakes were a hit), buffet style panko chicken and pork loin, amazing mac and cheese and sweet potatoes, etc. Several people told us it was the best food they'd had at a wedding (especially the Northern Yankees ;), and the servers working the bar even used our karaoke wedding theme to label our signature sweet tea drink the "Sweet Caroline," a touch I hadn't thought of. Bottom line, we enjoyed the night and didn't have to worry about a thing. I struggle to provide some kind of a negative, as I tend to be distrustful myself of overly stellar reviews when I was hunting for someone. But I'm not going to make something up. Just trust me. They're awesome people, their food is awesome, and I'd recommend them in good conscience to anyone.

Joelle was great. I am glad that they whee able to work with us on short notice and still keep it at a resonable price. I willl use them for any event that require catering. Some of the things that put them offer the top is they worked with us on short notice after our first cater was unresponsive. They also offer bartender service, they cleared the tables and even gave us a basket with things for our wedding night. At the end of the wedding they made us a plate to go being how we were moving around alot. i would suggest using them. they are affordable with 5 star service.
This caterer was very good. Joelle and her partner Eleni met with my husband and I months before the wedding. They are very creative and helped us come up with a brunch reception menu that was both elegant and southern. We even had an omelet bar…our guests chose the ingredients, and Eleni made omelets on the spot! Our guests loved it. Joelle also met with us a couple days before the wedding to review the layout and make minor adjustments to the schedule. Overall the food was yummy, presented well, and the staff were courteous and professional…not just a bunch of teenagers! I would definitely recommend them.

About Savor the Flavor Catering, Inc.
"Our pledge is integrity, courtesy, and customer satisfaction."
Eleni Vavouris, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, received her bachelors degree in Human Environmental Sciences from The University of Tennessee at Martin and planned to pursue her Masters in Family Counseling. While in graduate school, she realized that her true love was cooking. Growing up in a Greek family, food was always an important part of family tradition. Deciding to take a huge risk, Eleni left grad school and began a culinary apprenticeship at the famed Opryland Hotel. There she learned the trade while cooking for thousands, including celebrities and dignitaries. From there she completed her culinary training at Sullivan University in Louisville, Kentucky, and received dual degrees in Culinary Arts and Professional Catering.
Joelle Upton, unlike her counterpart, always knew she wanted a career in food-service. After receiving her Bachelors in Food Service Management from Campbell University, in North Carolina, she decided she wanted more hands on experience. Joelle moved to Nashville to begin her apprenticeship at Opryland. There she met Eleni and discovered they shared the same career goals and dreams. She also attended Sullivan University, and received dual degrees in Culinary Arts and Professional Catering. Joelle has had the opportunity to work in many different areas of food service. From fast food to fine dining, Joelle gained invaluable experience. Like Eleni, she too, wanted to be her own boss. Upon graduation from Sullivan, they returned to Nashville, as certified chefs through the American Culinary Federation, to open their own business.
