“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Chef Ashley and her team at Southern with a French Twist for our wedding weekend,
and they were phenomenal.
They provided meals for our wedding weekend including our welcome dinner, breakfasts, and our farewell brunch—serving about 20 of our closest friends and family. Every single meal was exceptional. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared. Honestly, we can't even pick a favorite—everything was amazing.
What made the experience even better was how kind and professional Chef Ashley and her team were. Their work ethic was incredible, and their communication was clear and consistent from start to finish. They arrived super early each day, always had the food ready on time, and were extremely accommodating to our needs.
All of our guests (wedding party and parents) loved every bite and were so impressed with the experience. We’ve already recommended Southern with a French Twist to others and will continue to do so.
Top to bottom, they exceeded expectations—
we highly recommend Chef Ashley and team without hesitation.”
