A Word from The Catering by Design Team

After spending so many years in the business, the team has learned a thing or two about North Carolina weddings and serving hungry guests.

“What one person loves, another can’t stand,” says chef James Murdock and catering director Kelli Albro. That’s why they love to bust out all of the options! The pair add that they are looking forward to self-serve buffets, action stations and grazing tables to make a comeback post-pandemic.
