Thoughtfully Crafted. Uniquely Charleston.
At Hamby Catering, delicious food has always been more than a menu—it’s our way of sharing Charleston’s spirit of hospitality. Since 1979, we’ve built our reputation on seasonally inspired menus, thoughtful presentation, and the belief that every gathering deserves to feel both effortless and unforgettable.
Whether you’re planning an intimate garden wedding, a corporate event, or a family celebration, our culinary team works with you to create a customized menu that feels personal, balanced, and distinctly Lowcountry. Every dish is crafted with intention, using fresh ingredients, timeless flavors, and a touch of Southern creativity.
Hors d’Oeuvres
Small Bites, Big Impression
Your first course should make a statement. Hamby’s hors d’oeuvres blend comfort and sophistication, from petite crab cakes with remoulade to mini ham biscuits and watermelon rounds with whipped feta. Each bite is designed to delight, whether passed by tray or displayed on an elegant grazing table.
Our team helps curate selections that complement the flow of your event—fresh, flavorful, and just the right mix of savory and sweet—setting the stage for the perfect event.
Stations & Displays
Interactive, Abundant, and Unmistakably Southern
Our station-style service invites guests to explore, engage, and enjoy. Think chef-attended carving boards, shrimp and grits bars, or a fresh coastal seafood display brimming with oysters, crab, and shrimp.
Each station is designed around your vision—from elevated Lowcountry classics to modern global flavors—and presented with Hamby Catering’s signature attention to detail. Every station tells a story, from the first slice to the final garnish.
Seated & Buffet Dining
Classic Service, Elevated with Care
For events that call for a more traditional experience, our seated and buffet-style menus offer a refined approach to Southern dining.
Guests might enjoy grilled filet with garlic-parmesan butter, blackened salmon with chimichurri, or Lowcountry shrimp and grits. Each entrée is paired with fresh seasonal sides, house-baked bread, and service that reflects true Charleston grace.
From rehearsal dinners to formal receptions, our plated and buffet options bring warmth and elegance to every table.
Brunch & Late-Night Bites
From mid-morning morsels to After-hours cravings, Hamby's got you covered.
For early celebrations or the perfect post-reception pick-me-up, our brunch and late-night menus keep the energy and flavor going strong.
Picture fried chicken biscuits, French toast with bourbon infused syrup, breakfast casseroles, or a spread of petite housemade pop tarts. After dark, keep the party alive with slider stations, truffle fries, or petite homemade pizzas—because no great Charleston night ends hungry.
Desserts
A Sweet Finish, Made from Scratch
From miniature Southern classics to full dessert bars, our pastry team knows how to end on a high note. Choose pecan tartlets, banana pudding shooters, strawberry shortcake minis, or even an interactive s’mores station.
Each presentation is crafted to match your event’s tone—refined, playful, or a little of both.
Bar & Beverage Service
Raise a Glass to Southern Celebration
Our bar services are as customizable as our menus. From signature cocktails to complete premium packages, every pour is served with care. Choose from Standard, Premium, Lowcountry, or Platinum tiers, or work with our talented team to create something uniquely yours.
We handle everything—staffing, mixers, garnishes, and setup—so your bar feels as seamless as your event.
