Big Flavors, Low Stress, and Scratch-Made Food Fitted to Your Budget.

Why we built a catering family meant to serve yours.
At Simple Southern Catering, we believe that planning your dream wedding or hosting an incredible corporate event shouldn’t mean blowing your entire budget on the menu. We are Denise and David Alcantara, and we are here to bring freshly prepared, crowd-pleasing Southern favorites with a touch of our native New Orleans heritage straight to your Chattanooga table. From intimate wedding celebrations to major company buffets, we combine years of professional catering experience with homemade family recipes. You deserve an unforgettable meal made with real ingredients, served by an experienced team that treats you like part of the family from day one.

Our Story: Born in New Orleans, Perfected in Chattanooga.

Simple Southern Catering evolved naturally from our deep love of food, our extensive experience in the food industry, and a shared mission to help couples and teams of all backgrounds enjoy outstanding meals at prices they can actually afford. But to us, outstanding service goes way beyond dropping off a tray of food. We believe in building true connections.

As part of that promise, we invite our prospective clients right into our home for a completely free, private tasting. We do this because we want to look across the table, hear your story, and get to know you personally. When we walk into your venue on the morning of your event, we don’t want you to see us as just another group of hired vendors—we want you to see us as family. Because at the end of the day, that’s exactly who we are.
