Duvall Catering & Events

We used Duvall Catering for our 110 person wedding - not only did Duvall offer the most competitive rate dollar wise, but they offered the BEST wedding food I have ever had. We did 3 stations for dinner and every station was phenomenal. All night long and the next day our guests were raving about how good the food was. NOW THE STAFF!!!! Alicia is who I worked with for quotes and the tasting and she is a gem, so easy to work with and very responsive. The crew on the day of the wedding day.... omg they were seriously incredible. So kind and brought the best vibes. They were treating our guests like family and it was incredible. Thank you Duvall for making our wedding day perfect.

I cannot say enough good things about Duvall Catering & Events. Planning a wedding can be so stressful and they absolutely hit it out of the park by making everything so easy on me. We used them for both catering, lighting and floral/draping. Alicia with the catering side answered all of my questions quickly and kindly. She was so patient and worked with me to perfect the menu. She sent me multiple revised quotes every time I wanted to change something and was always so kind. We got so many compliments about the food. The shrimp & grits especially were a hit! Wendy helped me with all of my floral, draping, and lighting. My vision for my wedding was very specific and my creative baby. Not only was she just as excited about it as I was, she executed it perfectly. We worked together for months finetuning everything and she did her absolute best to help me get the look I wanted within budget while also making helpful suggestions and thoughts on what we could do. I am so thankful for her as she is really the one that helped me take what I wanted to the next level. She is thoughtful, kind, and an absolute expert in her craft. I could not be more thankful for Duvall helping me to make my day so amazing. It was truly perfect!!

Wendy Arceneaux is truly incredible! From the very beginning, her attention to detail was unmatched — she double- and triple-checks everything, which gave me so much peace of mind during the wedding planning process. She is so calm, so easeful, and has this grounding presence that instantly makes you feel taken care of and completely secure. On our wedding day, it ended up raining, and Wendy handled every adjustment so seamlessly that it still felt absolutely perfect. She made everything look beautiful despite the weather, and you could see her eye for design and her commitment to getting every detail just right. Her hospitality and energy are on another level — warm, reassuring, joyful — and on top of that, she’s absolutely beautiful inside and out. Working with Wendy Arceneaux was one of the best decisions we made. I cannot recommend her enough! ALSO! Shout out to Alicia with Duvall’s catering! She was so quick to respond to emails or answer phone calls and always so kind to me. No question was too small. The food and execution were beyond words. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and perfectly timed. We could not have been happier!! They packed us up so much food to-go food with a bottle of champagne and it was wonderful! LOVE DUVALL

Duvall did an incredible job for our wedding! The food was absolutely delicious, and they worked with us to ensure that all of our guests, including our vegan friends, were taken care of with tasty options for both appetizers and the main course. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the food was - it truly left a lasting impression! Their team was professional, accommodating and made the entire process stress-free. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you want exceptional food and service for your wedding day, Duvall is the way to go!

We absolutely loved our entire experience with Duvall! The tasting experience was exquisite and they brought the same energy to the wedding day. Our guests loved the hor d'Oeuvres, meals, and late night snacks. They accommodated my gluten allergy, an allergy of another guest, and our little guests with kid friendly options. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and wonderful tasting food! Photography: Britt McNeil of Omaha, NE

My husband and I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Duvall for our wedding. Literally everyone was raving about the food! Our florals turned out beautiful! Emma was so helpful during the entire process. She answered every question so quickly and gave wonderful advice and recommendations. Huge thanks to her. Ashlyn brought our floral vision to life and made everything work within our budget. I loved that she mocked up exactly what everything would look like beforehand. Day of, the event staff could not have been better! Their warmth and hospitality was unmatched! I don’t know if anyone has such a wide variety of AMAZING food! Our guests were greeted with delicious apps the moment they stepped onboard the yacht. One of my favorite moments was getting to step away for dinner with my husband. The cake was so cute and tasted great! So grateful to everyone at Duvall. They executed everything to a tee! Their professionalism and attentiveness before, during, and after my wedding truly helped make the day the best ever!

I cannot express enough how deeply grateful I am to the catering and florist teams who brought my greatest dreams to life on one of the most important days of my life. From the very first meeting to the final moments of our celebration, every detail was executed with care, creativity, and heart. A special and resounding shoutout goes to Erin from the catering team and Ashlyn from the florals team. These two incredible women didn’t just provide a service—they became like dear friends to me throughout the process. Their warmth, responsiveness, and true passion for their work made the entire experience something I will cherish forever. Erin went above and beyond to curate a menu that not only reflected our tastes but elevated the entire event. The food was nothing short of phenomenal—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and thoughtfully crafted. We are still hearing from guests who say it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. That’s not just a compliment—it’s a legacy. Ashlyn, with her artistry and eye for design, created florals that were truly beyond anything I could have dreamed. The arrangements were breathtaking and became the defining visual statement of the day. People were in absolute awe. I watched our guests stop in their tracks to admire the flowers. They brought the venue to life and gave it soul. I am overflowing with gratitude for both teams, not only for their professionalism and talent but for the heart and joy they brought into every interaction. I felt genuinely cared for, heard, and inspired throughout the journey. These are teams that don’t just “do weddings”—they create unforgettable experiences and lasting memories. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You made magic happen.

Duvall did such a wonderful job catering our corporate style event! They took initiative with the layout, provided their own suggestions on colors, and menu choices. It was such great choices and their timing and attentiveness was amazing. I even had a last minute change with a gluten option and they were able to help my guest out. So happy and highly recommended!

Duvall did not follow through with the details that I was told when we went for the tasting. Changes were made without notifying me. I expected better for the amount of money that I spent. Disappointing.

Our company holiday party took place here and Duvall put on a great event. The food was amaaaaaazing (those bbq hot pocket things and the jelly jam pink spread stuff was delicious). The servers were on point. They hosted a casino night as the theme and the dealers were patient with their intoxicated players. The owner even came out at the end of the night to help clean and he took group photos for us! I considered Duvall as our caterer/decor for our wedding but went with something different, but they were quite tempting!

We were planning a destination wedding from afar and had booked Duvall after a few good chats with a great account manager who really seemed to get our vision. Unfortunately, that manager left the company and our replacement seemed a little frazzled with the position. We had very strict dietary preferences on our profile, and when we showed up for our tasting (that we had traveled pretty far for), the meals were not as previously discussed. The chef decided to "try something new" and "go off menu" and ignored all of the notes on our profile resulting in a Bride who was barely able to "taste" anything. This pattern seemed to continue throughout the rest of the planning process; the new account manager could not keep track of her notes and just one week before the wedding was calling to confirm and re-confirm and really had nothing together. It led to some pretty unnecessary last minute stress. As for the Event Design, I was told I'd chat with a designer for weeks, months even. I emailed, and only received a reply once with their design menu. I felt at peace knowing the décor was in the contract, but leading up to the day I was still nervous that I had never personally spoken with the event designer. In my chats with the catering account manager, she continually tried to convince me larger and more tables were necessary for my small wedding. We came to a "happy" medium, but I'm still a bit annoyed that my dessert table looked sparse because of the larger table I felt pressured to put in the space than I wanted. Now, let's talk about the bar. During the reception the Groom asked a cousin to grab him one of the Signature Cocktails; It was pre-dinner serving and a bartender told her he was out of vermouth. Our wedding planner chatted with them and found that the bartender had lied simply because he didn't know how to make The Groom's signature cocktail. At the end of the night, clean up time came. As the Bride, I wasn't there to oversee everything but it seems the cleanup crew kept/threw out the 75 gold chargers we had purchased and brought and somehow misplaced my bouquet (literally heartbreaking). They did end up earning their almost 3 stars, though, because when it came down to the big day the food was delicious, the décor was beautiful. The Bartender was swapped out for one who knew how to make a drink, and people truly could not stop raving about the food.

I can't say enough about Duvall!! They were very helpful throughout the whole planning process for my daughter's wedding! Amazing food. Beautiful flowers. They were so professional and went beyond the call of duty helping us with a timeline and helping us make choices to trim the budget. They got back with us immediately with any questions or concerns we had.

Excellent southern cuisine for my wedding. Only 4 stars because they were just a tiny bit behind on time. Besides that they did their job perfectly.

They did a great job decorating our outdoor beach wedding. They were very helpful during the planning process ! Highly recommend using them for decorations! Food is way to pricey though!

We used Duvall for some wedding flowers. Specifically bridal cascading bouquet, boutainniers and floral head pieces. Beautiful job by Ashlyn and her staff. They were understanding and easy to work with. Professional and top notch design. We were so happy with the results. Reasonable price. So happy we went with Duvall. The bride made the table arrangements herself to save money. Thank you Duvall.

We worked with Lauren to plan 3 private dinners during our vacation stay on Kiawah and she was simply superb! To top it off, Chef Jackson's cooking was simply phenomenal! Such an impressive company---easy to work with, delightful personalities, and perfection with every detail!

Alicia and the team at DuVall who planned our holiday party in December were fantastic! She read our minds and planned the event exactly how we hoped, only better. She turned our simple holiday dinner into an elegant affair. We stayed right on budget, the table looked beautiful and the food was fantastic. We will most definitely be calling her again for future events. - Sara Frampton, MUSC Neurosurgery

We were very happy with the decor / catering for our Nov. 5 ,2010 wedding. Rachel was a great resource for taking my small ideas and incorporating it into the entire theme of the wedding. Rachel truly did a wonderful job at making my visions come true. Alicia helped make the menu choices perfect, adding just the right lowcountry touches for our out of town guests. Through all our meetings, and interactions both ladies were professional, honest, and flexible. I could not of asked for a better day, every detail was perfect!! Melinda and Dustin R.

Duvall catered our wedding. The food was incredible and the staff was beyond amazing. The servers made sure to come up to us while we were taking pictures during cocktail hour to make sure we had food. I definitely have to compliment the service. It stuck in my mind. If you need catering for your wedding, I would highly recommend reaching out!

We loved working with Duvall for our wedding - food was fantastic, team was wonderful.. we received nothing but raving compliments about how perfect everything came together. Thank you, Duvall!

I contacted Duvall to inquire about hiring a private chef to come out to Kiawah Island for my parent's 40th anniversary. Isabelle was incredible. She not only worked within my budget, but also tailored the menu and the experience to my parent's tastes and interest in cooking. She was dedicated to making the evening as special and smooth as possible. Our chef was Dan Elliot, who my parents absolutely adored! Would highly recommend Duvall to anyone looking for a unique and tasty experience!

We used Duvall for to plan and cater our wedding. From they start they were very helpful, engaged and concerned with ensuring our vision of the wedding came to fruition. We worked primarily with Emma, who was wonderful. She helped us plan out every detail from the start, and made sure all of our needs were met. They even helped come up with a contingency plan in the event it rained on the day of our outdoor wedding. The food was phenomenal! From the appetizers to the desserts, everything was done to perfection. Highly recommend them for planning your wedding, especially if it is a destination one.

We had a perfect wedding and the Duvall food, staff and planning staff is as good as it gets! They made everything so easy for us since we were planning this event from out of town. We would highly recommend them!
