Wedding & Social Event Catering in Atlanta, GA and Fayetteville, GA
Seasons Bay Catering
produces weddings and social celebrations across Atlanta, GA with menus, staffing, rentals, and day-of execution organized under one plan. From a courtyard ceremony that turns into a lively reception to an intimate rehearsal dinner or a morning shower, our team builds a service timeline that matches the way your guests will use the room. The objective is consistent: food served at peak flavor, courses paced to your program, and a space that looks as polished at last dance as it did when the doors opened.
Planning and Coordination for Fayetteville Venues
Site Visits and Floor Plans
A walkthrough confirms how your venue really works on the day: load-in paths, back-of-house staging, power needs for stations, and bar placement. We translate those notes into scaled floor plans, so seating charts, dance floors, sweetheart tables, displays, and service aisles all coexist without friction.
Timeline and Run-of-Show
Ceremony, cocktail hour, grand entrance, toasts, cake, and send-off each carry service cues. We create a minute-by-minute with your planner or venue manager, aligning tray-pass, dinner pacing, and late-night bites to your music and program so the night flows naturally.
Vendor Integration
Photographers, DJs, rental houses, florists, and transportation influence service rhythm. We lock arrival windows, confirm electrical draws, and coordinate with each vendor’s setup footprint to keep the room clear and on schedule.
Tastings and Final Counts
A tasting, when appropriate for your event, finalizes flavor profiles, plating decisions, and portioning. Final counts are organized by adult meals, vendor meals, and children’s portions so procurement and staffing mirror your guest list.

Service Styles for Real Room Flow
Plated Service
A plated dinner underscores a formal timeline. Courses are paced to speeches and music cues, with captains coordinating quietly with the emcee and AV team so service remains precise and unobtrusive. Temperature holds and synchronized drops keep the room moving together.
Chef-Attended Stations
When you want energy and conversation, attended stations let guests graze while engaging with chefs. We manage queue control, power, sneeze guards, and replenishment, placing stations to protect sightlines and prevent bottlenecks near entrances and dance floors.
Elevated Buffets
A buffet can be elegant and efficient. Double-sided lines, risers, and disciplined replenishment shorten waits and keep textures where they belong—from crisp salads to warm roasts—throughout the service window.
Family-Style
Shared platters encourage table conversation without sacrificing pacing. Courses arrive in waves, with careful table management so centerpieces, glassware, and serving pieces all have a place.
Cocktail Receptions
If mingling is the goal, we balance passed hors d’oeuvres with anchored displays. Circulation routes guide tray-pass through the room, and replenishment schedules keep displays photogenic from first look to last bite.
Bar and Beverage Programs Aligned to Your Event
Rentals, Setup, and Day-Of Operations
Table-Top and Specialty Pieces
China, flatware, glassware, chargers, linens, risers, and specialty serviceware are specified to match your look and guest count. We manage orders, delivery windows, and returns so everything arrives together and leaves on time.
Back-of-House and Power
Portable ranges, induction burners, hot boxes, and chilled storage are configured to protect the venue and keep temperatures safe. Clear zones divide plating, wash, and trash so the kitchen runs clean and quiet behind the scenes.
Setup, Service, and Cleanup
We place table-tops, build stations, set the kitchen, and brief staff before guest arrival. After the last dance, we pack rentals by category, bag waste to venue standards, sweep service areas, and reset furniture per house rules.
Staffing and Briefings
Chefs, captains, servers, and bartenders are scheduled to your guest count and service style. Pre-shift briefings review menu notes, allergen flags, timing cues, and floor assignments so everyone works from the same plan.

Receive a Tailored Proposal
We’ll return a menu and service plan that reflects your floor plan, timeline, and budget, including staffing, rentals, and bar details. The proposal explains how courses, stations, and toasts will flow in the room you’ve selected.
Confirm and Prepare for the Week-Of
As we approach the date, final counts, diagrams, and vendor contacts are locked. Deliveries are scheduled, kitchen equipment is reserved, and staffing assignments are issued so every cue on the run-of-show has the right hands in place.
