Callanwolde

“We are a full-service event planning company in Atlanta that planned a wedding for our clients at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. From the minute we met Mark we knew we were in good hands! Mark and Heather were always responsive and accommodating to our requests. All the food is so fresh and the taste is outstanding! Every guest at the wedding raved about the food! The staff that night were so efficient – great bartenders, servers and kitchen staff. From set-up to serving their timing was perfect! They played an integral part in making the night run smoothly. We would highly recommend Mark Swearingen Events! Many thanks to Mark, Heather and their staff for making Rick & Nicole’s wedding day ‘the best day ever’ !”

Simply Remarkable

“To put it simply, Mark and Heather are remarkable. From the start, Mark gave us a wonderful tasting. If my 7 year old niece cleans her plate, you know you’re on the right track! He gave a very professional and informative presentation and was open to personalizing part of the main buffet and the cocktail hour to our liking. Trust me when I say, the man knows his pulled pork, too. In the end, my childhood minister (who knows a bit about wedding food!) made a point to tell me theirs was among the best reception food he’s ever had. True story. To add to that, we were fortunate to have Heather’s assistance in planning and day-of coordination. Planning a wedding from out of state was stressful but having Heather on my side was so enjoyable. I would often say, “Every time I get off the phone with her, I feel so much better.” From linen and chair rentals to floor plans and lighting, she had a hand in insuring every detail was executed to the tee. There are things I’ll never know happened because Heather fixed them. The woman is just plain great. I know this review may seem a bit over the top, but so were the results of their labor. I could go on, trust me. No nonsense day-of coordination, spectacular food, amazing communication, and a professional staff. These two know what they’re doing and having them at your event will give you amazing piece of mind. Thank you both so much!!!”

Spot On

“We contacted Mark and Heather to help us plan and cater our wedding rehearsal dinner. The experience could have not been better, all they way from the first meeting to the big night they were spot on. The food was fantastic and all of our guests left raving about how good the food was. I would definitely use them again!!”

A Pleasure To Work With

“Mark Swearingen events were a pleasure to work with! Our organization had a conservative per person budget as well as religious dietary restrictions and they were able to work within both and created a delicious stations menu. Our attendees were raving about the food. Mark and Heather were laid back and yet incredibly detail oriented. I would not only hire them again for a volunteer function (like this one) but for a personal function. They were amazing!”

Absolutely Fantastic

“Absolutely fantastic food and great service! Mark and Heather and their team did a fabulous job for our daughter’s wedding party. The food was delicious, all of our guests were impressed with the flavor, presentation and service. Mark and Heather are very easy to work with. Heather helps organize the menus and order process, delivery; she keeps everything moving on time. The staff was professional and polished, from set-up to clean-up. I was impressed with how quickly and thoroughly they cleaned up after the party was over. We highly recommend Mark Swearingen Events if it is quality you are looking for at favorable rates.”

Perfection

“What an amazing experience planning a Wedding with Mark Swearingen Events. From the meet and greet with Heather throughout the Wedding finale, perfection is the word that comes to mind. Attention to detail, impeccable service and the quality and flavor of food impressed all who attended, especially the Bride and Groom. It was magical how they made it all come together. We say Thank You but we mean so much more. We highly recommend Mark Swearingen Events if it is quality you seek at favorable rates.

Fabulous Job

“Mark and Heather and their team did a fabulous job for my husband’s 60th surprise birthday party. The food was delicious (my guests raved in particular about the beef tenderloin, the chicken skewers and the potato bar served in martini glasses). Every member of their team was professional and polished, from set-up to clean-up. These people know exactly what they are doing, and they are good at it. The whole thing was stress-free for me and I was able to enjoy my guests. I was particularly impressed with how quickly and thoroughly they cleaned up after the party was over, and they were very respectful of my home. In their hands, you needn’t worry about anything; they’ve got it covered. I HIGHLY recommend Mark Swearingen catering, and will definitely use them again!”

A Pleasure

“We had the pleasure of having Mark Swearingen Events come to our President’s home and cater our company Christmas party this year and we could have not asked for a more professional and personalized service. The menu selections, ease of communication and great pricing helped us decide they were the right caterer for our party! Not to mention the many outstanding reviews that they have received for their service over the years. Heather was prompt, efficient and very personable while making sure everything was set up and ready for the guests to arrive. The buffet presentation was perfect! All of the food was amazing with quantities that were more than enough. The guests couldn’’t complement the food and the presentation enough so of course, everyone wanted their contact information. We will be recommending Mark & Heather over and over! Looking forward to having them cater again for the next party!

Organized Process

“Mark Swearingen events catered for my corporate holiday party this season and I could have not asked for a smoother and organized process! When my team was going through the process of finding the right caterer, I talked to multiple people on the phone. Mark was the one person who stood out as he asked me the right questions and came up with unique ideas. His menu, organization, ideas, enthusiasm, ultimately made the decision for caterers very easy. We had a lot of requests and they made sure to fulfill those requests while adding their own great ideas. Throughout the process, Heather made the process problem free by always responding to my questions and clarifications (I had a lot). I never had to worry about communication because I knew they were always prompt with their answer. The night of the party went off without a hitch. I had many people come up to me to tell me that the food was amazing as well as the service. Not only was the food delicious, but Heather and Mark came up with ideas such as milkshakes that was a huge success. Clean-up also was problem free as the team left the house in the shape they found it. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better service, the exceeded all of my expectations (I have very picky and specific expectations) from beginning to end.”

Friendly Staff

“Mark and his team catered for a small buffet Christmas party in our home. The food was excellent. They were prompt, and efficient and I have to commend Brad, the gentleman who was our server, he was friendly with all our guests and kept the buffet looking good even at the end. Also he totally cleared up. All in all, I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”

Personal Attention

“Everything was just as described by Mark. Communication was great and timely. The food was phenomenal and will definitely use their services again. Heather came and made sure everything was as we expected and then she handed it over to our server Brad for the evening. It was great having him there because he kept everything stocked and picked up! There was little to do at the end of the evening. Very personal attention was given to us and again, I can’t say enough about the food. And the cream puffs are to die for! So glad we found Mark!”
