Proof of the Pudding

Can not say enough about Proof of the Pudding! Food is amazing! When throwing a party they are my «Go To». Friends and family always ask if they are catering! They make it so easy and efficient. From the large variety of menu, and ability to satisfy all taste, even the pickier. The food is the BEST! Always perfect and delicious! And can not forget the staff! They are the best. They are like family coming over and to help out! Each one is sweet, kind, polite and such a joy. They make all my party’s better! Wouldn’t even consider a party without them!

Proof caterers all of our client events at our office next to the airport. The food is phenomenal and the service is always fantastic! Our clients brag about the food every time they are in town!
I have also done an event that was catered by Barbara and she was so great to work with! Very creative and professional. I was very happy with my experience :)

I was so excited to use Proof of the Pudding for my wedding. Having used them for corporate events, I though they would be perfect. However, two weeks before my wedding I received an email saying that they were canceling and unable to do my event. I didn’t even receive a phone call. Simply a note of good luck. I tried to call management and still no return phone call. This was the worst display of hospitality and catering I have ever seen. Our rep, Barbara, was unresponsive and didn’t even seem knowledgeable about event planning. Luckily I found an amazing catering (Honeybrook Catering) who made our wedding amazing. As for Proof… if you need someone that is dependable, here’s some proof that they are not. Look for another caterer. I will be telling everyone in my corporate/​personal circle how unprofessional Proof of the Pudding is and how irresponsible… and quite frankly rude. I’m still puzzled and in shock. Who cancels 2 weeks before a wedding and thru email??? I wouldn’t even give them 1 star… a negative rating would be too high. Lisa

Proof of the Pudding catered our wedding reception in 2005, and the service we received there was consistently excellent. We chose them initially because they were so much more responsive than many of the other caterers we contacted. The tasting that they arranged for us was very nice and was hosted at the Carter Center, which was very cool and really fun.
For the reception, we had our meal served family-​style, for which they charged us about the same as they would have for a buffet. The food was excellent, and I’ve gotten several comments from folks that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We did have a slight glitch because the staff who were actually at the wedding didn’t seem to have received all the information that we discussed with the consultant ahead of time, but it was, all in all, a successful event.
While we could have selected options that would have made the meal cost much much more, the food we chose was really lovely, and the price tag was utterly reasonable. Many of the caterers we contacted didn’t even have options that would have fit into our (very modest) budget. So, no they aren’t a discount caterer by any means, but I wouldn’t classify Proof as insanely expensive either.

Susan, you should remove your review of Proof of the Pudding. Drew is right. Thank goodness social media sites are self-​correcting – posting a review of a business that you’re unfamiliar with and never been a customer of is just plain wrong. You’re wasting space. Your review is completely irrelevant and degrades the value of this site.
By the way, you should look up the word «incite» in the dictionary and then stay after school to practice writing it in giant green cursive lettering. 100 times on the blackboard, please. After that, you should still choose a more appropriate verb.
(If you remove your review, I’ll remove this preamble.)
Proof of the Pudding is actually pretty darn good. I’ve only had their box lunches at corporate events, but the ingredients have always been fresh. Our next door neighbor works for them, and his culinary skills are top notch.

Contrary to a previous review, Proof of the Pudding is NOT a furniture store. It started out as a single location bakery and small catering outfit over 20 years ago and has grown into one of the top caterers in Atlanta. Proof of the Pudding caters everything from gigantic corporate functions to small box lunch style meals for meetings. They also offer catering services for shows at Chastain Park, so you can have them do all the work for your picnic during a concert.
If we’re talking «negligent,» I think it’s negligent to rip a place with a bad review when you don’t even know that it’s a caterer and have never used their services. Proof of the Pudding may not be the best name in the world, but it’s a very successful business in Atlanta with a long track record of catering major events. The biggest corporations and huge events in Atlanta and the Southeast use these guys. They’re expensive, but if you’ve got a big event or client and the funds for it, they’re top notch.

This is the most well-​known caterer in the city. You’ll find their name mentioned across several states, with at least one sister caterer I have heard about in SC. But they come with a price tag that will make you think twice! The food is fantastic, but that bottom line made us have to look elsewhere for my workplace’s holiday party catering.
Frequently used for lavish affairs, from conventions to corporations to mega-​weddings, and THE caterer for the Carter Presidential Center and Chastain Park Amphitheater (among several others), they have made a reputation for themselves based on service and their food. They will do smaller affairs as well, but you’ll pay for it!
