Frequently Asked Questions

Planning a wedding or formal event comes with plenty of questions. From building your menu to choosing the right level of service, we're here to make the process simple and personal.

What types of events do you cater?

We cater weddings, rehearsal dinners, welcome parties and farewell brunches, along with galas, banquets, fundraisers, milestone birthdays, retirement and holiday parties, and other formal gatherings. You can choose individual menu items for pickup or delivery, or work with our team on a custom menu and service plan for your event.

How does your event menu pricing work?

Our catering menu is designed to give you flexibility. Instead of a fixed-price package, you choose your favorite foods by the pan, platter, dozen, pound, or gallon, and we help determine quantities based on your guest count and style of service. After your consultation, we put everything together in a custom proposal. Delivery, setup, staffing, rentals, and other service needs are quoted separately. Applicable tax and an 18% gratuity are added to all full-service weddings and formal events.

Do you offer full-service catering?

Yes. Our specialty is a beautiful, well-executed buffet, and our on-site staff can handle buffet setup, meal service, replenishment, breakdown, and cleanup as arranged. Every event is different, so full-service catering is quoted according to your guest count, venue, timeline, menu, and staffing needs.

What is your service area?

We're based in Farmville, Virginia. Full-service events are generally within 45 minutes of Farmville, and venue access and suitability must be confirmed. Delivery and service fees depend on your event location, guest count, and service needs. Travel charges or minimums may apply outside our standard service area.

What dinnerware and serving equipment do you provide?

Full-service events are served buffet style on high-end disposables. Our bulk catering menu includes disposable catering containers and serving utensils. Guest plates, napkins, flatware, beverage cups, ice, and hot-holding equipment are available separately, along with select chafing dishes and presentation pieces for a more polished buffet. Optional plate-clearing service is quoted separately.

Do you provide tables, chairs, or linens?

Select linens for buffet and service tables may be available as rentals. We do not include guest tables or chairs with our catering services. If your event needs additional rental items, we can talk through them during planning.

Do you offer tastings?

At this time, we do not offer private tastings. We invite you to experience our scratch-made cooking through our Wednesday Take-Home Meals. It's a wonderful way to get to know our food, flavors, and cooking style before your event.

How far in advance should we book?

As early as you can. For weddings, we recommend reaching out 12 to 18 months ahead, especially for popular spring and fall dates. For other formal events, the sooner the better, since larger or more complex events take extra planning time. If your date is coming up soon, contact us and we'll check availability.

Is a deposit required to reserve our date?

Yes. If your event is more than 12 months away, a $500 non-refundable booking fee reserves your date, and the remainder needed to reach 50% is due at the 12-month mark. If your event is within 12 months, a 50% deposit is due with your signed agreement. We schedule a planning call about 45 days before your event, and your final menu, headcount, and balance are due in full 30 days before.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

We offer a variety of menu selections, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. All of our chicken is halal. Please share any food allergies or dietary requirements early in the planning process so we can review appropriate menu choices and discuss preparation needs.

Can you make our cake and desserts?

We offer scratch-made cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes, dessert platters, and other celebration sweets. From a beautiful wedding cutting cake to an assortment of desserts for your guests, we can discuss options that complement your menu. Custom cake designs are quoted individually.

What makes Grateful Fed different?

We believe the food at your event should feel just as personal as the occasion itself. Our approach combines scratch-made cooking, genuine Southern hospitality, and the freedom to build a menu around the foods you love. Whether you're planning an intimate dinner or a large celebration, our goal is to make your guests feel welcomed, cared for, and gratefully fed.
