Cockey Wedding 10/18/14

We had the privilege of catering Christina Fluet & David Cockey's wedding! They are a couple from Charlotte that owns their our cookie company, Vandough Cookies. We met the couple early this year and have been working with them since to help plan and perfect their special day. When we did their wedding tasting, they brought us some of their cookies to try! And they were such a lovely treat.


Christina & Dave wanted to have a casual reception with an old fashioned pig pickin' grill where their guests could eat right off of the grill! The weather was perfect and their vision for the evening was breath taking. This couple was such a joy to work with and we wish them all the best in the world for their marriage and their upcoming cookie business! 

               

The couple had their ceremony performed on site at Pepper Plantation by Michael Winship, their wedding coordinator. Their DJ for the night was Stephen Darby from Epic Charleston. The bar service for the night was Mix.

CVB Meeting




We are members of the Charleston Visitors Bureau and catered the meeting for the month of October. The meeting was held at the Boone Hall Cotton Dock in Mount Pleasant. The meeting was an opportunity for us to showcase our catering abilities and network with all of the attendees of the event. This was our first time catering at the Cotton Dock and it is such a beautiful venue for events and weddings.

Lee Wedding 10/4/14

We had the privilege of catering Ashleigh Nagel & David Lee's rehearsal dinner & wedding. Their rehearsal dinner was at Goldbug Island and their wedding was at a private residence on Hobcaw Creek. Both nights went off without a hitch. The couple had an oyster roast for their rehearsal dinner and Goldbug is the perfect place for it! Their venue is extremely accommodating and you are able to recycle your oysters onsite.

            

Their reception the following night was at the private home of a family friend. The house was gorgeous and sits back off of Hobcaw Creek. It was a bit windy that day, but we adapted and made it work with a few modifications! They had a simple ceremony with many friends and family. Their menu that night included Mini Crab Cakes, Vegetable Spring Rolls, Ham Biscuits, Pulled Pork BBQ, late night passed Mini Burger Sliders, just to name a few items. Elizabeth Morgan coordinated for the couple and the entire evening went smoothly.

September 26th - September 28th

What an eventful weekend it was! On Friday & Saturday night we catered for a Sunday School Class that has been together for over 30 years. They meet together once a year and do a retreat to spend time together and learn from a Guest Speaker. This year they met at the Homewood Suites in Mount Pleasant on Friday night and at a private residence on Saturday night. We were able to cater both nights for the group.

               


On Sunday we were able to be a part of the Jerry Zucker Ride for Hope. Their mission is to raise money to help local Charleston charities. The charities can then get the money to those that need it most. We provided the lunch after the ride for the participants and the volunteers that help set up the event. It was a beautiful afternoon out at Awendaw Green.

Watts Wedding 9/19/14

We had the privilege of catering Kathryn Teal & Shea Watts' wedding last weekend and what a joy it was! Kathryn is a third year dental student at MUSC and Shea is on staff at Seacoast Church.



The couple had their ceremony at Seacoast in their Chapel with the reception to follow at Alhambra Hall in the Old Village. The each grew up with a love of Chicken Bog- so planning the menu with them was a breeze! We served Chicken Bog, BBQ Pork Sliders, and a Macaroni & Cheese Station. The reception was so full of life and fun. They kicked off the night early with dancing starting as soon as dinner was done. There was even a special guest appearance from the Tooth Fairy!


             


The reception was absolutely GORGEOUS! The flowers were done by Branch Design Studio, the day-of coordinating by Fabulous Fete, the bar service for the night was Spike, and the DJ was Stephen Darby with Epic Charleston.

SaltWorks Aboard The Osprey



About once a month we try to invite our friends in the industry, clients, and their guests to come aboard the Osprey for a fun charter! Being aboard the Osprey is a unique experience in Charleston and we love to share it with the people we have partnered with. A typical trip usually has some Clients, other Event Planners and Specialists, local Photographers, DJs, and Venue Representatives. Our goal for having them all on board is to thank them for working with us in the past and to hopefully connect them with each other for future partnerships.

Last night we left from the Isle of Palms Marina and headed south. We traveled down the Intracoastal Waterway and stopped at a small island off the Waterway. Although the forecast called for heavy rains, we were able to dodge the raindrops and shoot skeet for a bit!

Mark Welker- Owner of SaltWorks Catering Company
Taylor Langford- Event Specialist at Charles Towne Landing

We served Low Country Boil, Smoked Pepper Cheese, assorted sandwiches and wraps, and our famous Peanut Patch Cajun Boiled Peanuts. We know that a lot of the times the people we are working with don't get to enjoy our food, so we try to showcase one of our signature dishes.


SaltWorks' version of Low Country Boil

What makes our Low Country Boil a little different: we start with making a base of Jalapenos, White Onions, Tomatoes, Celery, Garlic, Old Bay, and Texas Pete Hot Sauce, bring all of that to a boil and allow it to cook for 1 hour. Then we add the Potatoes, followed by Fresh Corn, then Sausage, and finally add the Shrimp (after you add the Shrimp- it only takes 60-90 seconds based on the size of the Shrimp). We top the Boil with our Seafood Butter- a combination of Unsalted Butter & Old Bay.

Puckett Wedding 8/31/14

We had the privilege of catering for Christina & Leigh Puckett for their wedding reception. The couple has actually been married for about a year, but they did not have the opportunity to have a ceremony until last weekend! Christina and Leigh wanted to wait and have a ceremony here in Charleston where she is from and where they met. They were able to celebrate on Sunday evening with all of their closest friends and family!




It was our first time catering out at the Charleston Yacht Club and the view was absolutely beautiful! The venue is a very 
accommodating space for wedding receptions or any kind of event warranting such a breath taking view. They wanted a traditional menu of Shrimp & Grits and Low Country style Grilled Chicken and Seasonal Vegetables. Their guests were a lively bunch and the atmosphere was filled with love, laughter, & dancing. 



The couple was such a joy to work with and we wish them the best of luck in their life together in Alabama.
