5 stars is not enough for this business. I hired Clarrisa to cater a surprise party for my mom and it was nothing short of amazing! She was more than just a caterer. She secured the DJ, photographer, and the decorator. Clarrisa and her husband James are so kind! When we met for the first time though we were conducting business and they were extremely professional it felt like I was planning a party with family. When my brother and I were unsure of what to do for a menu she took her time and went through options with us to craft the perfect one for our guests. What I appreciate the most was her communication! She would check in every so often to confirm there were no changes and to verify that she'd secured the appropriate people for the party. Her and James' venue is absolutely perfect for any gathering. I don't even have words to describe how good the food was. Clarrisa even did a cheese and fruit tray for a cocktail hour that paired perfectly with the Sangria bar. The night of the party she had another event and despite that, she still made time to come by before we left to see how everything went. Her staff members were so kind and professional! The price for renting the venue, food, photographer, decorator, and DJ was very reasonable. I had contacted 3 other caterers and either they never contacted me after filling out an inquiry or they stood me up. I'm so glad they did! If you are having an event or need a venue do not hesitate to book JC Legacy Event center and Clarrisa's Kitchen. You will not be...
Read moreThis is a very long overdue review and I’m so sorry it took me so long to write, but I highly recommend Clarrisa’s Kitchen to anyone who is looking for a caterer in Columbia/Lexington/Irmo area! Clarrisa catered my wedding at Southern Oaks venue in Gilbert, SC 1/14/23 and did an outstanding job. She is super sweet and responsive and what drew me to her is that she had such an extensive menu that offered almost everything I wanted for my wedding. I wanted American, Korean, and Vietnamese food at my wedding: being a Korean American myself and my husband being Vietnamese. Clarrisa provided me with American and Korean catering and although she couldn’t provide me with Vietnamese catering she was kind enough to lend serving dishes and a printed out menu for that portion despite it being from another caterer. Her whole team did a fantastic job setting up, serving us, and dancing with us through our reception. Clarrisa’s cooking is delicious and a year later I’m still hearing from our guests about how good our food was! Clarrisa was even sweet and thoughtful enough to send me a happy anniversary email on our anniversary and gifted us a dinner for 4 which was so nice. She now has an event space in Irmo that is beautifully renovated and is perfect for any occasion. Thank you to Clarrisa and her amazing team...
Read moreWe absolutely LOVED Mrs.Clarrisa and her crew! They did our wedding last Friday and they were very nice and helpful during our big day. The food was AMAZING!! Everything was seasoned well and very tasty. All of our guests loved it and even had some guests who wanted their contact information to book for future events. Let me brag on Mrs. Clarissa real quick! I was looking for this cake stand that I had to give back to the bakery who made our wedding cake. I was really panicking because I couldn’t remember where someone may have put it and didn’t remember seeing it that night before we left the Venue. I texted her to see have she seen it and y'allllllllll , when I say she went out her way to help me find the cake stand she went out her way! She reached out to the decorator and the venue for me without me having to do anything! That meant so much to me because she didn’t even have to reach out to them and I am so grateful for her for that!
