Background
After the successful launch of Southern Smoke BBQ in the spring of 2014, owners Matthew and Jessica Register announced the debut of their catering company, South, which showcases the more upscale side of their cuisine. Through years of exploring the South, they have gained a wealth of inspirational knowledge to assist them in making every single event special. Since their start in 2014, the couple has gained accolades from The Today Show, Mens Health, USA Today, Food & Wine, Southern Living, Garden & Gun, and Our State. They have also appeared at some of the South’s most prestigious Food & Wine festivals such as Euphoria Greenville, Charleston Wine + Food, and the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival.
“Matthew and his team at South Catering truly impressed us when catering our wedding. As every bride knows, wedding planning is exciting but can be overwhelming- therefore, it’s important to find vendors that make life easier. Matthew took our vision and easily helped us make it a reaility. All of our guests keep talking about how great the food was! We are so thankful.”

Why South Catering?
When it comes to your special event, the South Catering team knows that experience matters and our clients shouldn’t have to settle. Over the last five years, South catering has successfully executed events ranging from in-home plated dinners to elaborate, upscale weddings.
The needs of our clients are very important to us. During the initial consultation, we take time to sit-down with each client and discuss their budget and personal preferences. On this site, you will notice that there are no set event menus. Our main reason for this is because we take great pride in making each menu unique and we like to work with every client to ensure their menu is aligned perfectly with their event.
We run our business on four basic principles: Family, Vision, Freshness, and Creativity.
Family
So many special memories have been formed around a table surrounded by friends and family, and your event should feel the same way. When you choose South Catering, you are not just a client. You become family! Most often, when you work with us, you will not be dealing with a random employee of our company. You will be dealing with the owners directly. We pride ourselves on keeping things personal and intimate, with the client’s vision at the forefront.
Vision
Often, in our initial meeting with clients, they may have an idea of what they want but no clear vision. When this happens, it’s our job to help clients brainstorm ideas and bring those ideas to life. We like to ask questions such as, “What time of year is the event?,” “What are your favorite foods?,” and “What do you want the overall feel to be at your event?” We take all of those questions to heart and, with your help, create the perfect menu to go along with your event.
Freshness
When we create menus, we love to work closely with local farmers to create the freshest and most seasonal menus that we possibly can. It is our goal to center our menus upon using fresh and local ingredients.
Creativity
We are also creating and revisiting recipes constantly so our menus never become monotonous. Often, our menu offerings cannot be updated quickly enough to reflect our newest recipes, so we always advise customers to ask us about what is new in our kitchen!
