Vendor Spotlight: Caterers

There are several good Caterers in town. We love Rex Bradford Jones Catering, Simply Southern Catering, All Occasion Catering, and Rosa's Catering! You can't go wrong with any of them!

Today we want to highlight one of our favorites and give you some hints on picking your caterer!
Vendor Spotlight:

Rex Bradford Jones Catering (Abner's Attic)
Phone: (865) 522-5552
History: Mr. Jones originally started as Abner's Attic (Abner is family name). Rex has been catering in Knoxville and the surrounding areas for over 25 years! He recently opened a tea room called Abner's Attic located on Asheville Hwy. All of the following pictures are provided by Rex Bradford Jones Catering.


The food and atmosphere are fabulous! Often in this business vendors get caught up in so many events that they loose sight of their individual customers.


Rex has a personal touch of southern hospitality that is often missing with other vendors!

Potato skins: My favorite!
A sea of salads served in wine glasses!

Hints on selecting a caterer for your special day:
Choose professional vendors. They will show up regardless of what comes up. A professional caterer knows how much food to prepare and will not run out. They will also provide staff to bus tables and serve your guests. You don’t want to use trashcans or make guests clean their own tables. You also don’t want family to have to clean up after 150 guests!

If family members want to help, be sure they do not take on too much, especially if they will be needed in pictures. The stress of running errands, getting themselves ready, playing hostess, and then working food or flowers, can hinder their ability to enjoy the wedding.

Ever After’s caterer checklist:
- Food quality
- Food presentation
- Competitive pricing
- Professional staff in behavior and dress
- Quality service on the day of your wedding

Our top caterers meet all of our criteria! Don't skimp on any of these!

Bon appetit!
