Sweet Magnolia Catering

Richard Mayo of Sweet Magnolia catering, Atlanta Georgia, just did a spectacular event at my home. We were entertaining restauranteurs and other food professionals and his work could not have been nicer. His presentations were beautiful and the food was delicious. Chef Richard replied to every communication almost immediately and he was a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend Sweet Magnolia catering more highly

The entire experience with Sweet Magnolia Catering was exceptional. They catered a Kosher Kiddush for my granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah. Not only was the food delicious, it was also plentiful. I was overwhelmed by the beautiful presentation, and my guests were as well. I would not hesitate to use Sweet Magnolia Catering in the future for any other catering events. Richard was delightful to work with, and he was extremely accommodating

Richard and Sweet Magnolia Catering are amazing! We hired Sweet Magnolia for my daughter's wedding after a long search for a caterer with lots of creative and delicious menu options. Richard was easy to work with, prompt and clear in his communication, and always willing to offer advice (How much alcohol should we order? Should we pass the champagne or have it poured table side?) In addition to providing a made to order (and gluten-free) buffet, Richard and his staff provided impeccable service and paid attention to every little detail. We felt so pampered during the entire celebration!!

Sweet Magnolia catered our band banquet at North Paulding High School for over 450 students, parents, faculty and staff. The entire experience was a pleasure. Richard is easy to work with, quick to respond, and very attentive to details. And then there is the food... delicious is just the beginning. From planning to execution, it couldn't have been any better. Thanks Richard!

How can you express the perfection of a meal? Richard and his wonderful staff served 75 of us the most beautiful and scrumptious Shabbat dinner! It set the tone for what was to be a very special weekend! We all felt so special as Richard and the staff provided the service they did to all of us. We'll never forget that night and the wonderful group that served with smiles and love! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Anything crafted by the creative and capable hands of Chef Mayo is is bound to be innovative and delicious!

All I can say is WOW! Sweet Magnolia Catering catered my Aunt’s 30th anniversary and we were blown away from start to finish. After contacting several caterers and was left feeling overwhelmed and then I was referred to Richard and Sweet Magnolia. Richard was prompt to answer all my questions and even created a custom Creole menu for our group. He went above and beyond and our family was very pleased with the authentic New Orleans cuisine chef Richard provided. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Magnolia to anyone looking for catering.
Thank you Sweet Magnolia!!!

Sweet Magnolia Catering carted my daughter's wedding last night! I knew the food would be fantastic, as we had done a tasting earlier, but I was not prepared for the professional staff that did the serving and bartending.
Top notch does not even touch Sweet Magnolia Catering! I did not have to worry about anything reception related. The wedding guests raved about the food!
Richard Mayo is very responsive to emails and worked with us in all aspects. He was present at the wedding and everything went smoothly and seamlessly. Recommend him in a heartbeat!
Thank you, Richard-from the bottom of my heart!

Richard provides world-class food and service. The food was absolutely incredible with tons of rave reviews from our guests, his communication was top notch, his staff were very professional, and his pricing is very competitive.  Richard went above and beyond anything we could have asked for our wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a full service caterer and staffing for your wedding and/or event.

We initially reached out to Richard looking for a vendor to make appetizers for our wedding (we had different vendors for the other courses). He had a wide selection of foods choices, where we selected four appetizers, our personal favorite (and the one with rave reviews from our guests) was the Mediterranean Grilled Lamb Chops with Cilantro Mint Aioli.

In addition to the food, Richard offered very competitive pricing on other services as well - servers, bartenders, linen rentals, silver wear, full bar package, and so on. He was very conscious of our budget and offered multiple alternatives for each decision, which was greatly appreciated. Since our reception was at a venue where we could bring our own food and alcohol, it also required us to take care of everything else. Having Richard to take care of so many items was such a huge blessing.

We used Richard and sweet Magnolia for our catering at a race track in Denver, Las Vegas and Phoenix. He did a fantastic job. He adapted to the environment very well. Rain, heat, sun and wind did not hamper his services at all. The food was excellent and we had nothing but compliments from our guests. He kept the kitchen area clean as well. We will definitely use him again!

My wife and I used Sweet Magnolia Catering for our wedding 2 weeks ago and could not be more satisfied with the outcome. Not only was the food beyond our expectations, but the treatment from Sweet Magnolia and Richard during the entire planning process was superb, as well.

We set up a private tasting with Sweet Magnolia a couple months before our wedding and loved everything they had prepared for us, it was absolutely delicious and blew away other local tastings we had attended. Over the next couple months, prior to the wedding, communication was both professional and fast.

On the big day, my wife and I were astounded at the professionalism and care that the staff took to make sure everything was perfect. There was not 1 person who wasn't raving about the food (and I mean this quite literally) and the quality did not differ from the tasting, which I have seen from reading other reviews of some companies during our search.

Big thanks to Sweet Magnolia Catering for making our wedding day better than we could imagine. If you are looking for catering, give them a call, you will not be disappointed.

Richard catered our wedding on New Year's Eve and I couldn't tell you how satisfied we were with Richard and his crew. Richard took the time to develop a custom Caribbean theme menu because we wanted something different from the same old stuff you have at a wedding.

Everyone raved about the food, everything came out hot and wasn't warmed up in a microwave and you know when that happens, chicken and beef get chewy and just lacks taste. I can vouch and say Richard hands down is one of the best caterers in Atlanta and whenever my wife and I have another event where catering is needed we are calling Richard! He pays attention to every detail and takes pride in his craft and you can't ask for anything else in a chef.

Amazing BBQ! They had the best smoked chicken and awesome sauce! My husband ate so much pulled pork he nearly burst, and everyone loved the Mac 'n' cheese!

Richard & his amazing staff catered my wedding 9/3/16, & he was phenomenal! Everything was just perfect. The food, set up, staff & planning was all top notch. Richard was so professional and patient in helping to create the menu for my special day. Even several days after the wedding, guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. The presentation also really impressed me. Keep up the good work, Richard!!

I hired Sweet Magnolia Catering for my wedding this past October. I asked Richard to change the menu/linens and many of the other various items several times, and each time he said no problem. On the day of, not only was the food amazing, but everything flowed very smoothly and I have no doubt it was due to his organization in the kitchen. After the wedding we heard from many guest that the food was a true highlight of the event. I will be holding onto Rich’s information and will be sure to pass it along to others when I can. Thank you Richard for helping make my wedding dreams come true!

Our office had a very casual meet-and-greet for our new CEO (light hors d’oeuves finger foods...nothing too extravagant). After calling around to various caterers and explaining how casual the event was, I got the impression I was being brushed off by many because my needs were so small (not a big, fancy wedding worth thousands in food).

Richard with Sweet Magnolia was nothing like this. He treated me and my tiny order as though it were a big, fancy, expensive order. In other words, I felt my needs and satisfaction were important to him. He worked with me on budget, gave me a variety of menu items to choose from, and put a lot of care into setting up the table with garnishments and presentation. Best of all, my co-workers could not stop raving about how delicious the food was.

If you want quality food and top-notch customer service, definitely go with Sweet Magnolia. Thanks Richard!
