1. Introduction: What's your story?

Good day beautiful people!

My name is Michelle Morris, owner and Executive Chef of Southern Cadence Cuisine. Our team has a passion for entertaining guests. We began our career with intimate dinner parties and special occasion gatherings. We specialize in a hands on approach to entertaining. We understand that a culinary experience can bring together friends and family to create memories that are unforgettable. I have always enjoyed the inner workings of creating a beautiful wedding and took the leap a few years ago to help brides have the wedding of their dreams. My favorite thing to add to a wedding service is a custom margarita bar or a caviar and champagne bar. What is your favorite wedding luxury?

2. How many weddings have you done in the past?

We recently started accepting brides in 2019. Our goal for 2020 was 20 weddings in 2020...but some crazy world event happened and it took the air out of veils. lol

Our pricing starts at $42 per person for a buffet that includes two appetizers, two entree choices, two sides, a soup or salad and bread service.
