Heather Spencer

We hired France’s Catering for my daughter’s high school graduation. BEST DECISION EVER!! She was easy to work with, the food was DELICIOUS, and the set up/clean up was done quickly. Everything tasted so good. I am still receiving compliments about the party and everyone talks about how tasty the food was. Thank you thank you thank you France’s Catering for making our graduation party so memorable.

Laura Herbert

Chef Francie prepared a meal for our dinner party that was fantastic! The food had great flavor! A group of us got together and each couple paid their own way. It was stress-free and we were able to enjoy the evening with friends. Chef Francie even washed all the dishes and left the kitchen spotless! Don't wait for a special ocassion to book your party! All you need are 10 people and Chef Francie!

Candy Fant

Airport High class of 1972 celebrated our 50th Reunion On October 8 & 9, 2022. Francie covered both days for us with outstanding food and service. Her staff are all so pleasant and helpful. Our food was amazing and such a wide variety of items. If you left on Saturday night hungry it was because you forgot to eat!!! On Sunday after our church service we had a good old fashion Sunday lunch. It too, was delicious and enjoyed by everyone. Thank you again for taking such good care of us and if anyone is looking for a stress free event and someone who will handle it all with ease, France's Catering is the place you need contact.

Susan Potter

After having such a wonderful experience with France's Catering for my oldest daughter's wedding three years ago, we didn't hesitate to secure their services again for my second daughter's wedding. Francie sat down with my daughter, worked within our budget and helped her design a menu that reflected what she envisioned. Once again, the food, service and presentation were exceptional! (The beef tenderloin was to die for!) Francie and Kevin at France's Catering's expertise and passion for what they do truly made Hannah's Wedding a "magical day". I still have one daughter to go and you can be sure that we will choose France's Catering!

Jeff Twiss

We just had France’s cater holiday drop in for co workers at my house. Food was great, both presentation and taste. Francie arrived on time and had everything set for guest arrival. On site staff (Megan) was professional and just perfectly there when needed. We will definitely be a repeat customer!

Hayden Rhodes

France's Catering was one of the best choices I made when wedding planning! Francie was super easy to work with and took care of everything behind the scenes so that I didn't need to worry on my big day. She has a HUGE selection of unique and delicious food and she puts her perfect touch on everything! Her displays were so elegant and inviting for our guests and everything tasted amazing. France's Catering also included alcohol in our package (plenty of beer and wine selections) which was one less thing I needed to plan for. Staff was professional and all of our needs were met. We still have guests talking about our food and how cold the beer was! France's Catering was a huge part of making our wedding perfect and I am so grateful!

Sue Smith

Francie and her husband Kevin and the rest of her staff work over and above to serve you an amazing variety of gourmet style appetizers, meals, and desserts. They do this with incredibly accommodating-and friendly service. Our guests are still talking about it, and we are still enjoying left overs ! ⭐️ 🌟 ⭐️ 🌟 ⭐️ …

Christi Fant

Francie and Kevin always do a beautiful job! The food is delicious, and they are dependable, easy to work with, and no other caterer can compare! 5 Stars is not enough!!!

Andrew Klasnic

France's Catering is simply THE BEST! Francie and her team catered my sisters wedding in Columbia, SC in 2016 and after the first bite of reception food I knew that I had to have her cater my wedding someday! Well, October 3rd, 2020 Francie and the team came to cater my wedding in Folly Beach, SC! Having a lot of out of town guests, we knew that we had to give them that southern hospitality! So what better way to do that than to have southern bbq as our spread! Francie and the team make the BEST pulled pork sliders, which doesn't even need sauce because the flavor is so rich! But, if you need them, her bbq sauces are so good too! We had mac & cheese, chicken tenders, and a variety of sides! She also catered towards a few plant based guests with amazing mashed potatoes and veggie options to go hand in hand with our bbq! The team is so friendly, professional, and will even bring a bartender if you need that service too! Everything was ready on time and our guests were so pleased with the food! I would recommend France and her team a million times over! 10/10 and I hope to have France's Catering again soon! We love you!

Toby Cummings

Prom for 10 Chapin High School students and France's Catering crushed it. Great menu selection to accommodate a vegetarian and the budget of high school. Quality food and service with Francie and her crew. I would easily recommend these folks for any and all events to impress.

Gigi Lewis

We got married 04/27/2019 and had Frances catered our wedding. My mother has known her for years and I've worked with her husband. They are a lovely pair and truly them and their team have gone above and beyond for us. We got married at a venue that had no kitchen and Frances certainly didn't let that stop them. The day went by successfully and I will say that the price was definitely worth the level of service we got for everything. My only complaint was that I didn't get a chance to eat more of it! Frances is worth booking. Thanks for making our day magically delicious, The Lewis Family

CHRIS A

France’s Catering did a fabulous job catering and bartending our event at beautiful Oakbrook Farms in Ridgeway, SC. Everything was arranged by communicating via email and phone calls with Francie; since I was out of town. She became my “rock”, putting me at ease in every step of the decision making process. The food was exquisite and abundant. Our guests raved about the quality, presentation and tastiness. I highly recommend Frances Catering. She made us shine ✨!

Candice Escoe

France’s Catering provided for my father’s memorial service this weekend. We had an unusual venue - an aircraft hangar - at the airport neighborhood which he built. Francie was on time, brought everything and set up quickly. Our guests raved about the Charleston Dip and the chocolate chip cookies especially. She worked with us to customize the menu to include my father’s favorite foods. We enjoyed working with Francie and would definitely do so again!

Chris Evans

Frances and her team are absolutely amazing! Very fairly priced, Very professional. They were an absolute pleasure to have as a part of our wedding. I strongly recommend using them for any event you have. The staff was on time and professional. The food was delicious. The pricing was more than fair and Frances was an absolute pleasure to interact with. Strongly recommend using them!

Taylor Remler

I used Frances catering for my wedding of 100+ people at my house about an hour from Irmo. I choose this catering company after either not getting any responses from others or being quoted $150 per plate. Francie was AMAZING. We purchased throw away plates and silverware that we forgot to put out for use, Francie did not even hesitate to use her own products to make my night go as smooth as possible! The food was hot, despite the long the drive is. Multiple people told me this was the best wedding reception food they have had. I would love to use Frances catering again and would definitely recommend this company.

James Anderson

We had the pleasure of engaging France's Catering to serve our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. What a special evening it was. First of all the food was spectacular and the service was excellent. They were on time, ready for us when we arrived, everything was served perfectly and the evening was wrapped up seamlessly. It could not have been better. We are currently talking with Francie about an upcoming event and in fact we're trying to find reasons to engage France's Catering in the future. We highly recommend France's Catering. Jim & Debbie Anderson

Kimberly Klasnic

France's catering did an amazing job at our daughter's wedding that had about 250 people! The displays are beautiful as well as delicious. The staff is completely professional, easy to work with and almost 2 years later people are still asking me who provided the food! We recently used France's for my son's Clemson graduation party and our Grandson's baptism. I will continue to use them for all of our events and highly recommend that you do, too! They never disappoint! Thank you France's!!!

Tutankhamun Baker

France's catered my Engagement Party! They did an amazing job! They made one of the most important days of my life even more memorable! They made sure that I received the most for my budget. All of my guests loved the food and took to-go plates! I've known Kevin and Francine Bridges for about 2 decades. They are hardworking, God-fearing, faithful people. They never settle for second best! I highly recommend France's Catering!

Lisa B. Gibson

France's Catering made my wedding day perfect! Great selection of items for any wedding. I used a brunch theme and she and her husband set everything up perfect. The Charleston Dip is a must! Great chicken salad along with a fruit and cheese display. I wanted a biscuit bar and pancakes and got more than I imagined. The rolled pancakes were light, crepe like and the beignets were hand made , on location. My guests all were so pleased with the food selection. France is very helpful and easily accessible to her clients. Would definitely recommend with confidence.

Cathy T

My daughter used France's Catering for her wedding and we couldn't be happier and highly recommend them.The food was delicious, especially loved the artichoke dip! Service was wonderful as well. Very professional and easy to work with.

Thomas L Lawhon

France's did an amazing and outstanding job catering for me and my wife Amanda's wedding on 05/18/2019 at StoneBridge Gardens and Events here in Columbia, SC. She took the time to meet with us a couple of months before the wedding to help us plan out the menu and all. She was very easy to reach from us for questions and she communicated well with our wedding planner leading up to our special day. She not only did a phenomenal job with the setup for the actual reception dinner, but also for the cocktail hour while us and the wedding party were taking pictures. She also took care of setting up and providing the bar for our guests. The food was outstanding! Every bite! Everyone that was in attendance at the reception keeps telling us how amazing the food was! Mrs. Frances is not only an outstanding cook, but a super nice caring lady that made our reception at our wedding even more special to always remember. I highly recommend her to anyone to ask her to take care of the catering for their special day! Thank you again Frances from the Lawhons!!!

Jerri R

WOW! What a BEAUTIFUL experience.. France's Catering catered my daughters High School graduation celebration. It was a very memorable evening. Francie and her "assistant" went well above and beyond our expectations. From the very beginning, with all the planning ,she communicated with me so well...........was very knowledgeable in regards to all aspects of party planning. ......Was extremely helpful in meal selection based on preference, event particulars, and suggested food selections complementing other items on the menu.......... AND The food was absolutely mouth watering DELICIOUS! Those in attendance were asking for seconds at the first bite. Her menu items were fresh and savory.......... guest were even requesting more bread! The manner in which she presented the dishes displayed her professional touch and attention to each and every detail. We will surely enlist her services again and again. If you are need of catering please don't hesitate to call France's Catering! you will NOT be disappointed.

Rachel Smith

Awesome! France’s catered my daughters wedding and the whole experience was fantastic! The initial meetings were informative, friendly and helpful. France’s helped the happy couple come up with the perfect menu and took all our needs and wants into consideration. We had people from all over the country coming with a lot of children and it turned out perfect! We were able to showcase South Carolina, take care of the children and give the adults a fantastic experience....all within our budget! Everyone was so impressed! I felt assured since they were so professional and yet like I was dealing with old friends, very genuine people. The food was fabulous and I wIll definitely turn to them again without hesitation.

Matt Day

France's catering helped cater our Valentine's day dinner and the food was fantastic. The spinach and artichoke dip and the herb crusted tenderloin were the stars of the meal but everything was on point. The servers did a great job and we truly enjoyed having France's catering be a part of our annual Valentine's day party. We look forward to using France's catering again in the future for our events & gatherings. Highly recommend!!

Courtney Macecevic

We had Francie and her team cater our wedding and they seriously came through with some delicious food and the displays were beautiful! Her staff were so quick to clean up empty plates and keep the food stations looking nice. Would recommend her for catering!

Lindsay G

Excellent service and delicious food! I used France’s catering for a family get-together, and I would highly recommend based on service, timely response, and of course, incredible food! France’s catering was extremely quick to respond to any question I had via email, text or phone call, and they really made our family celebration a success. We were able to enjoy the day, and I did not worry about a single thing in regards to planning the meal because France’s catering took care of it all! If you are searching for a catering company who will respond quickly, provide excellent service, and deliver delicious food (that all of your guests will rave about), France’s catering is the one for you!

Tom W

France's Catering did an excellent job catering my daughters wedding. We received numerous compliments from the guests. The bartenders did a great job. Definitely will use them again in the future.

Tammy Williams

I had the honor of managing the hospitality for this amazing show on Friday night. I reached out to France's Catering to cater the dinner for the performers, band, and crew with only a week's notice. Not only did she put together an amazing menu, but was able to do in between gigs that she had on the same day. Everyone really enjoyed the dinner. Dave Koz's first impression was "Wow, this is beautiful! I'm really looking forward to working with France's Catering for more events.

Susan Haile

I took a leap of faith and hired France’s Catering based on a recommendation from a friend who had enjoyed several business lunches Francie had catered. Francie was easy to work with and helped me plan a graduation party menu that would appeal to all ages. We returned from graduation to find the food beautifully displayed and served with a smile.Everything was delicious and abundant—no one in our large crowd left hungry. Kevin’s brisket station was especially popular—such tender and flavorful sliders! France’s set the stage for a lovely evening.

Harley Stokes

France did an AMAZING job with my wedding! She was very very quick to respond, she worked with our budget, and gave us many many options to choose from!! Her bartenders were also amazing! I would totally recommend them for any event and definitely your wedding!! Thank you guys so much!!!

Morgan Rosado

I hired Mrs France for my wedding October 7th, although It has been so long and she probably wouldn’t believe it when I say this, she was actually my Favorite vender from my wedding. When hiring her you won’t be disappointed, from the comforting words, to the support of all your choices, and lastly taking on any and every request. I had small disappointments from all of my vendors , except Mrs France. I know deep down she went above and beyond for me in a lot of ways. She handled everything that I asked her to do. She made amazing food that everyone one of my guest liked. And lastly, She is just such an extremely nice and loving person. Oh!, She even made me and my family an amazing cheesecake to try. I would highly recommend you hire her for any and all catering event. But DEFIANTLY for your wedding. I am personally slack at writing reviews, I don’t hold value in them anymore with the new pay to review situation. I go off of family and friends advice more these days. So if you see this Mrs France, I apologize in taking so long to write a much deserved review. Thank you for every encouraging word, and for everything you did for me and my family. You were honestly my favorite! And if I need anything catered I will be reaching out to you again.

Becky Schmitt

We used France's Catering for my husband's 80th birthday. We got rave reviews about the food, especially the Charleston Dip. She set up the food displays & stayed to help the entire time. I couldn't be more pleased with Francie & her team. She made the party & allowed me to spend time with guests & not worry about a thing. Kudos & thanks!

Tonya Hammond

My daughter's wedding was at the Lace House in Columbia, SC on March 23, 2019 and we had the privilege of having Frances Catering as our food vendor. It is really hard to just call Frances Catering a food vendor because Francie Bridges was so much more than that. Francie and I became friends when her son began attending the Citadel. My son had also attended the Citadel and I tried to be there for Francie, during her son's knob year, when she had any questions or concerns that she experienced while being a Citadel Mom. Boy, did she return the favor and be there for me as I planned my only daughter's wedding. From the very day my daughter got engaged, I knew that I wanted Francie to do the catering for the wedding. I appreciated the relationship that I already had with her, and I really wanted to give her the business. Through the whole wedding planning process, I felt that I had a friend working just as hard to help bring the wedding day of my daughter's dreams, to fruition. Francie and her staff provided not only the delicious food for the reception, but the bar service, tablecloths, and cake cutting as well. The food displays were carefully thought out and were just as beautiful as they were delicious. Not one minute was I ever concerned that something wasn't going to turn out as I hoped, because every time I would ask Francie a question about something, her consistent reply was simply "I got you", and boy did she ever. I am so very grateful and thankful for the experience that we had with Frances Catering. I would highly recommend Francie and her staff to anyone in search of a talented caterer of impeccable character. with a sweet and gentle spirit. I know that I was blessed to not only do business with a caterer that I hold in high regard, but also with a someone that I can call a friend. Tonya Hammond

Kate Postma

France’s Catering did an impeccable job for mine and my husbands wedding on 10/04/19 in Columbia, South Carolina. The owner, Francie Bridges, stayed in constant and consistent contact with me throughout the entire time that we booked her, which was over a year ago. She took the time to get to know my husband and I. Francie and her staff worked effortlessly to capture the vision of what we wanted for our food for our reception. We had the jumbo stuffed shells, slow roasted herb crusted chicken, and seasoned grilled steak. Our guests raved about the food. It was honestly the most delicious meal I’ve had in a while. I’m still dreaming of the stuffed shells! THANK YOU so much, Francie for everything. You made our day the best day it could possibly be.

Nancy Browder

Francie catered dinner for my Mom's 80th surprise birthday party at the Leitner House in Irmo. Francie was easy to work with in planning the big event. She and her staff arrived on time and worked with our family to decorate the house while her staff set up the bar and food buffet. Food was ample and delicious. The German chocolate birthday cake was the best. Thanks Francie for creating a memorable evening for our family!

Caryn Scoggins

Francie and her staff did a wonderful job with our dinner for Class of 2019 Ring Ceremony night. The food was outstanding and plentiful (always a plus with college students in attendance). Francie was easy to work with and made this mom look like I knew what I was doing.

France's catered an event for our church and we couldn't have been more pleased. The food was spectacular and Francie was a joy to work with. She accommodated every need we had and more. I plan to use her again next week and hope she will be available for future events.

We have used France's Catering many times for office lunches and office parties. They consistently deliver on time with appropriate quantities and a balanced meal with main course, salads, sides, drinks, and dessert. Some of our favorites are brisket, barbecue, short ribs, tenderloin, and especially the Thanksgiving meals!
