We used Duvall for catering our food, decor, and flowers. They did a great job working with us. We had a few minor issues but things worked out fine. The food was delicious! Most of the flowers were perfect. The decor was beautiful!

We worked with Alicia to help plan our wedding at Magnolia Plantation in May 2017. Alicia was so very helpful and extremely easy to work with! She was so patient with us as we kept constantly changing our menu and even worked with the chefs to create personalized menu selections!
We used Duvall for our catering, bar, cake, floral, and decor. They have everything you need all within the same company making planning soooo much easier!
The food was absolutely delicious! I can honestly say that it wasn't your average "wedding food." Our guests were more than pleased and raved about the food - we're still getting compliments from friends and family!
The staff was very professional and kept our guests happy, as well. They were also very attentive to my husband and my needs - we didn't have to lift a finger all night!
The decor was stunning!!! Everything was so elegant and exactly how I envisioned it!
We worked with Zoe for the flowers and she was such a gem to work with. She listened to everything we wanted and was able to produce pictures to make sure everything was just how we envisioned it. She even changed my bouquet from my bridal portraits to the wedding and it was so stunning!!!
I can't recommend Duvall enough for all you party and wedding needs! Everyone was such a treat to work with and really made our wedding perfect!

Duvall handled all aspects of our wedding from food, decor, rentals to coordination. Our planning was unique in the fact that it was a destination wedding and due to our work schedules, we weren't able to actually meet with Duvall prior to booking. So the reviews were very important to us when choosing our catering and decor. Initially, I was the bride that thought I could do it all. I plan events for a living....however, about 6 months out and 1.5 military deployments in, I realized I was over my head with the stress alone. And this should be a time of enjoyment for a bride and groom. So Lauren jumped on as my coordinator and took charge of the bits and pieces I had thrown together from my Pinterest planned wedding. I can't say I was a great communicator with Lauren at all. But she never showed signs of agitation with me. With the few pictures I provided her of my vision and my budget, Lauren was able to work with her team and create a fairytale wedding and the wedding of my dreams. From the moss draped chandeliers to the mighty oak tree wrapped in lights, every aspect was perfect and romantic.
Our venue was the Carriage House at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. Duvall delicately dripped ivory fabric throughout the rafters and added moss with vibrant wine and burgundy flowers to the 6 hanging chandeliers. My bouquet made me cry...in a good way. I was so shocked at how beautiful it was and it fit my vision perfectly. Lets be honest, when you start planning a wedding....you know NOTHING about flowers, their seasons or cost. I found a picture I liked and gave it to Leanne and that was my extent of involvement on floral. The tablescapes were so delicate and whimsical with scattered branches, candles and lanterns. Our biggest reason for choosing the Carriage House was the beautiful oak tree on the grounds of the Carriage House. I love this tree. And I knew the moment Griff and I first saw it 2 year ago, that this is exactly the spot we want to get married. We asked Lauren if the oak could be wrapped in lights and she said YES! So Lauren and her team brought our most important vision to life when they wrapped our oak tree for our ceremony.
The food was phenomenal. For the cocktail hour, we chose oysters on the half shell and the antipasto display. The display itself was breathtaking. I didn't want anyone to eat it and mess it up! The display had grilled veggies, charcuterie assortment, assorted cheeses, caprese and crostini. The oyster bar was done outside and the chef was hilarious. I hope he had as good of a time with our guests as my gusts did with him! The dinner we chose was buffet style. We chose a herbed pork loin, chicken breast with mushroom cream sauce, a root veggie medley, green beans with garlic and southern baked Mac and cheese. The next day, all people talked about was how fantastic the food was! Lauren even packed us a to go box and we devoured it as soon as we got back to the hotel room! For dessert, we went with a mini sweet dessert display with coconut chocolate truffles, chocolate covered strawberries, peanut butter balls, chocolate mousse in a chocolate cup, mini cupcakes and banana pudding. The banana pudding was a special request from the groom and it was by far the best banana pudding I have ever had.
We also went with an open bar through Duvall. The bar tenders were so much fun and they remembered signature cocktails for both myself and my groom...I never had to wait for a drink. They just made sure it wound up in my hand! Thats first class service if you ask me.
We highly recommend Duvall for all aspects of your event. The ease of having a one stop shop made my like so easy during those last few weeks and everything turned out just perfect!

Is it possible to give them 10 stars!?! Cause they blew me away with their professionalism, communication, and talent.
The food was unbelievable. Our guest enjoyed everything from the cocktail hour to the desserts. Emma really helped us make the right selections for the number of people and dietary needs. She helped take my ideas and make them happen (ex. the tequila, lavender lemonade signature drink was a hit!)
My brother in law is very picky about cakes and said ours was the best wedding or any other cake he's ever had. (vanilla cake with caramel icing - seriously amazing)
Ashlyn on the decor team helped take my Pinterest dreams and make them reality. We had shotgun shell boutineres, which they'd never done before and I absolutely loved them. I wanted simple, chic, country style and she nailed it!!
They helped us pick the perfect table setup for our venue, got us an in-case-it-rains backup tent on standby, and arranged all the rentals needed.
One year later we are celebrating with a mini version of our meal and cake. This was something I asked not expecting it would happen as it's such a small order for them, but Emma made it happen for us. We're so happy to enjoy this delicious food once again!
Don't pick any other caterers - Duvall is it.
