Catering by George’s began in 1948 when Chris George’s grandparents, L.M. and Belva George opened a grocery store. When I first became acquainted with Catering by George’s, they ran a restuarant and catering service. Of course, Catering by Geroge’s was known throughout the Jackson community for their great food. Years later they purchased Reservoir Pointe where they could host celebrations and events. Catering by George’s still offers “off-premise” catering if the bride has another location in mind for her wedding and reception.
When asked what he liked most about what he does, Chris, one of the grandsons who operates Catering by George’s at Reservoir Pointe, answered that he enjoys the challenge of marketing all of his products and services.
A little about Catering by George’s at Reservoir Pointe: They are an off-premise (mainly corporate) catering service specializing in breakfast, lunches and special events. In addtion, Catering by George’s specializes in off-site weddings and rehearsal dinners. Finally, as the owner of Reservoir Pointe, Catering by George’s can host any event.
If you could give a bride one tip/one bit of advice, what would that be? Instead of contracting with numerous different vendors, find someone that is “full service” and see what they have to offer, then make your decision on what you may need.
Any funny stories to share? Chris relayed that he had a groom disappear for a very long time after the ceremony. Needless to say, the bride was not happy.
