“I hosted a Groomsmen’s Lunch in New Braunfels, TX two weeks ago. I coordinated the event with Chef Ashley and she made the process incredibly easy! I received RAVE reviews from the 19 men who attended. The groom went on and on about the delicious and unique luncheon items Chef Ashley prepared. Chef Ashley and her staff were professional, prompt, polite & a joy to work with. My only complaint was I attended the bridesmaid luncheon and did not get to enjoy one bite!! LOL! I highly recommend Southern with a French Twist. Chef Ashley delivered a mouthwatering and memorable event for my nephew and his friends.”

Hi, I’m Ashley Casebier Olson, founder of Southern with a French Twist, and the heart behind every gathering we create. I started this company with one mission: to help people slow down, savor the moment, and share meals that feel as memorable as they are meaningful.
At Southern with a French Twist, we believe that who you invite into your kitchen matters just as much as what’s on the table. That’s why our team is made up of hand-picked professionals who don’t just know their craft—they love what they do.
We’re chefs, servers, stylists, and hosts at heart. Every member of our crew is professionally trained, emotionally intelligent, and deeply committed to creating seamless, meaningful experiences for you and your guests.
We show up early, leave your space spotless, and bring the same care to your Wedding Events that we would to our own family table. From the perfect spoon drag on a dessert plate to the gentle folding of a napkin, we’re here to help you create something unforgettable.
