Ms Lynn was super attentive and helpful. She made our meet and greet dinner go smoothly, especially as it was raining and we were late getting started.
She worked to make our reception beautiful. Everything was perfect! -

Copper Cellar catered our wedding at The Reserve at Bluebird Hill. It was FANTASTIC!! People are still talking to this day about how delicious the food was. The brisket was a HUGE hit!! We absolutely loved it! Kimberly from the reserve decorated our food tables so beautifully!! I wish we had more photos of how incredible it all looked. You will not regret hiring them! -

User2070602 Sent on 03/18/2015I work at a resort which uses Calhoun's Catering for everything. The food is always on point and affordable. I have yet to have my reception with them, but I know that it will be wonderful and enjoyed by everyone present!! -
User2016919 Sent on 01/20/2015I had my wedding reception at Calhoun's on the River. They did a fantastic job and everything was great! I came in multiple times before the wedding. They were always polite and accommodating and could meet with me whenever I needed. They don't assign any specific person to your event, but I was surprised at how seemlessly I could transition from talking with one person to the next. Everything still went perfectly without one specific person helping me. The food an service was fantastic. My husband and I are big on craft beer, so it was great to have in house craft brews able to provide. They also had good wine options to serve. Everyone was so helpful leading up and especially at my reception. I am a detail person and was worried I was getting too specific and picky but they delivered on everything I asked to a t. I didn't have any stress over whether things were going how they were supposed to. I can't stress enough how easy they were to work with! Also our reception was in the evening so we had an amazing view of the river with the Henley Street bridge lit up. It was a great backdrop for pictures! Also, they were the best value I could find for the high quality they have. I compared several comparable venues with broken down venue, food, alcohol, linens, etc. costs. They came out as the best value (especially because there was no cost for the space rental itself) and there were no unexpected last minute charges. -

Celene Sent on 07/23/2014The food was wonderful!! My whole family enjoyed the beef brisket and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. They were very professional and very reasonable price wise. -

Missi Sent on 10/01/2008Debbie & the girls and Phillip were such a great help in getting my reception set up and were so flexible with my menu...I chose the traditional catering menu for my wedding, but wanted to have the corn pudding and they easily adjusted that for me. The reception space was just beautiful and the food was sooooooooooo good...the little bit I got to eat...the day went so fast, but Calhouns on the River helped make my wedding day so beautiful and memorable! Thank You!! -

User1779741 Sent on 08/25/2014Grand daughter's wedding (8/23/2014) Beef kabobs, grilled chicken, spinach maria, rolls were terrific. I didn't try the green beans, or mashed potatoes. The mac-n-cheese was blandand chewy, not very much flavor. I would recommend Calhoun's for another catering job, with maybe a few different side options (keep the spinach).

Stephanie Sent on 09/13/2018Patty is the absolute rudest person I had to deal with during this wedding process. She completely ruined my reception with her attitude and she was apparently rude to my guest before I even showed up... If you use Calhoun's ask for someone different because this girl is not who you want running the show (even though she is the GENERAL MANAGER!!) -

Avoid the copper cellar family
I got married at the Calhoun’s in Oak Ridge in March 2021. Overall, the food was great. Unfortunately, every other aspect of my experience with this company was incredibly disappointing and despicable. We were forced out an hour prior to the time written into our contract (written in by Brooke Brennan who assured us she would be present on our day but wasn’t) by Kimberly Sterchi, so we lost out on more memories with our friends and family and our DJ, photographer, and videographer’s time. Tea and coffee were not served with dinner though we paid for a beverage station, my guests and I were only given water. Our cake was not cut for our guests and no utensils/plate ware were put on our dessert table causing most of it to go to waste. The alcohol served at our hosted bar was completely inconsistent in price. Two of the same drinks went from $30, to $25, to $15. This caused some of our guests to go inside the restaurant bar to order drinks because they were cheaper. Rather than leaving for our honeymoon, my husband, his parents, and I went back the next day to bring all this information to whichever manager was present. It was Brooke. She apologizes for our day being cut short and says she’d have to look at the tabs to be able to explain the inconsistent alcohol prices. She tells us the alcohol was cheaper in the restaurant because of happy hour. When I ask what the hours are, we’re told it lasts about 4 hours but aren’t given any times. She gives us the contact number for Peter Jahn, their area director to further help us. Once we leave, we call the restaurant to go line to ask about their happy hour on the weekend. The staff member tells us there is no happy hour on the weekends, it is Monday-Thursday from 4-7pm. So, Brooke had no problem LYING to our faces. I contact Peter and he asks for a copy of my contract. When I pull it up, I see Brooke CHANGED our contract from 10am-8pm to 10am-7pm after our conversation a few hours prior. Luckily, I had a screen shot from that morning of when it read 10-8pm. I send both copies to Peter and he makes every excuse he can for everything we dealt with. He offers us a $100 gift card for our inconveniences, and I say that’s completely ridiculous and decline it. I have contacted the corporate office three different times over the last 4 weeks and have still not received a call back. About 2 weeks ago, I received a letter in the mail. It was a generic apology letter that was not even tailored to my event signed by Brooke. Not only was this already insulting, but the name it is made out to is completely incorrect. There is no excuse why that should've happened when I met with Brooke on multiple different occasions and she wrote my contract, not to mention has all my contact info. Not only was this completely insulting, but truly unbelievable. I have never been treated with such disrespect from a company and will NEVER return to this facility or any of their restaurant chains. I am embarrassed, hurt, disgusted and truly shocked by the unacceptable and unprofessional behavior of their managers/corporate staff. If you are even considering working with the Copper Cellar family for any event/banquet/wedding, I advise you to run the other direction. -
