Straton Hall

My daughter's wedding was two weeks ago at the Jones Center on St. Simons Island and Stacy with Straton Hall provided a reception that will never be forgotten! Food was fantastic with the delicious shrimp and grits, beef tenderloin and pecan crusted chicken! As mother of the bride, I had told Stacy that I wanted a few surprises and wanted people to be wowed when they walked into the reception! Well they were! He had gone that extra mile to display curly willows with little candles and also some elegant topiaries! It was truly beautiful! And my friends are still talking about how good the food was! Straton Hall is the very best caterer in the area! If you pick them, you will agree with me-----------they are awesome!!!!

I just wanted to say how AMAZING everything turned out for my wedding! Everyone has been raving about how great the food was! Also, my cake was PERFECT! It looked just like I dreamed it would, and probably the best tasting wedding cake ever! Your displays were outstanding and I loved the ladders and topiaries on the table tops! I can't say enough...I loved every second of the day and I'm so glad that I could count on you guys! You Rocked! Alexis

Stacy with Straton Hall did a perfect job with our wedding at Villa de Suenos on St. Simons Island. They took care of not only the flowers but our wedding cake as well as the food. I cannot say enough about the quality of each of these services. Their presentation was simply spectacular. The shrimp and grits has been raved about ever since and some of the guests said it was the BEST that they have ever tasted. We also had osso bucco which was fantastic. The attention to details was impeccable and their staff was efficient and very fun to be around. The flowers were amazing. Especially considering that I did not even see them until the day of! I felt as if their team were part of our perfect celebration. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a wedding that turns out just how they envision their special day. PERFECTO!!!

Straton Hall did a fantastic job with my wedding! Their presentation was beautiful and all my guests raved about how good the food was, especially the cake. I wish I could show you a picture, it was sooo elegant! The best part was how pleasant and easy they all were to work with. I just told Stacy what I wanted and he made it happen without my having to give it another thought. I never contacted them without getting a prompt response, and it all turned out exactly like I wanted. Great job!

Straton Hall catered my daughter, Marie's reception for 325 people on 6/25/2011 amidst a hellacious thunderstorm. The food was absolutely superb..Guests raved over the steamed oyster shooters, steamed GA shrimp, fried green tomatoes, beef tenderloin....The menu was without a doubt 5 Star! Stacy Bass was a calm anchor to this frazzled MOM. Choose Straton Hall. This company is worth the money!

What can I say! Stacey Bass and Jay at Straton Hall were Incredible. From the low country boil around the pool at the Beachview Club to the Fabulous food and service at the wedding reception under the tent, it all contributed to the perfect wedding weekend for Megan and Mark. You and Jay were always there with help and advice to make my job as mother of the bride much easier and stress free. Also, your staff was friendly and professional and on top of our every need both evenings. We received so many compliments on the food and the cake was delicious. We loved the kissing fish on top! Thanks again for everything. Janet McCormick

Stacy and Jay were very accommodating to our menu wishes when we went for our tasting and came up with an amazing menu for a great value. When our wedding day came, I had no idea how many additional things they would do to add to our decor. They had their own decor for the buffet line - dry pasta, vegetables, etc. in glass containers, 6-8 foot tall iced tea and water containers, etc. I thought we would get the basic catering deal with just the food, but they made our tent look even more amazing with the add-ons they bring with them. Not to mention, the food was AMAZING.

We knew from the minute we met Stacy that Straton Hall was for us. His parents home had burned to the ground earlier in the day but he still kept his appointment (our inital) with us! When my daughter and I reviewed his portfolio everything was stunning. She did not have a "vision" for her flowers so she simply turned to Stacy and said "you are the expert, do whatever you think would look best within our budget." He did not disappoint her! The wedding was held at The Jekyll Island Club Hotel at Crane Cottage and it was absolutely perfect! If there were any problems, Stacy and his staff made them disappear before we were aware. We also rented an antique car for the exit and it pulled up right on time. I can't say enough about Stratton Hall and would not hesitate to use them in the future!

I have been involved with a lot of weddings, and this was our son's wedding and I cannot say enough about how AWESOME these guys are to work with. We had approx. 100 guest and they were all talking about how wonderful the reception was, and the food was the best ever at a wedding. We highly recommend the shrimp and grits, and tortellini. Stacy and Jay ( owners of Straton Hall ) went well beyond the call of duty when one of the large centerpieces got destroyed by a delivery person, and re-made the whole thing and looked like new. We will also be back to see them at the Brunswick Manor bed and breakfast soon.

My son just got married this past weekend at St. Simons. We were given the name of Straton Hall Catering, from Curt at the Lighthouse. They came very highly recommended and we were not disappointed!!! From the time we met Stacy he went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we got exactly what we wanted and that things would be to our satisfaction. Any questions that we had over the course of the year leading up to our big event were answered promptly. My husband, son and fiance visited them this past February for the food tasting and were extremely pleased with their choice of caterers and couldn't wait for the wedding for everyone else to get to sample their delicious food!! Not only did they provide a better than five star meal for our guests, but Stacy came to the rescue before the wedding after a flower arrangement had been destroyed in delivery. he fixed it and you could not tell that anything had ever happened! He sure saved the day!!!! Jay fixed the most wonderful food for the evening. The guests were all talking about how fantastic the food was and a lot went back for seconds. Stacy was on hand to make sure everything ran smoothly and the wait staff was extremely friendly, they smiled and were friendly to the guests and made sure everyone was taken care of. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Straton Hall Catering, the owners and staff go above and beyond the call of duty and we are still getting compliments on the great food we had at the wedding. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding that wants the absolute best food at the best value and the best staff in town to carry it out and make sure everything goes as you want. thank you, thank you, thank you Stacy and Jay!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will be back to st. simons soon and plan to visit you all.

Our first of 4 daughters got married on May 6, 2011 and she and her man booked Straton Hall on St. Simon Island, GA. We live in Michigan so we were not familiar with Straton Hall. I must say I was very pleased with their choice of caterers. Stacy & Jay were very helpful with me in the decisions that had to be made from a long distance away. I dealt with Stacy in regards to the food & the bar for the wedding night. He was very friendly and helpful! the food was excellent. Everyone from Michigan that attended the wedding loved all the food! The wait staff was very friendly and attentive to the guests. Especially Nancy the bartender for the evening! She was the best!! I would defenitely recommend Straton Hall Caterers for any event!

Stacy and team did an amazing job on my wedding. Food was amazing, cake was amazing! We received compliments on the food by many guests all night long. Stacy was a saint and helped us all along the way. We also stayed at Brunswick Manor for food tasting. Great atmosphere! Thank you thank you Straton Hall! Jill and Tyler

Stacy and Jay did a terrific job making my wedding day so special! The flowers were stunning, the food was excellent, and the wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. It is a great convience to order food, flowers, and cake from one vendor. Everything was done punctually and they were very helpful in assisting us in making cost effective choices. I felt very comfortable leaving my special day in their hands and they did not disappoint me! Straton Hall's staff was excellent and the events of the day were carried out efficiently.

I hired Stacy Bass of Straton Hall Catering for my daughter's wedding that was held on April 23rd, 2011. Being that she is my only daughter, it was very important to me that I hire someone that I had no doubt would do a professional job and serve delicious food. Stacy and his staff did just that. I met with Stacy on several occasions. He was great in providing me with suggestions and guidance on not only the food items that were served, but on how they were to be served and displayed. His stations were elegant and inviting. All who attended had nothing but great things to say about the delicious menu. Straton Hall also created a beautiful wedding cake and did all the flowers for the wedding and reception. Everything was perfect. They made all the bouquets, boutonnieres, coursages, and floral arrangements. One arrangement was placed in the center of the venue's swimming pool and was absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend Stacy Bass and his staff at Straton Hall. Stacy is eager to make your event everything you want it to be and is responsive to all your questions and/or concerns. His staff consists of very courteous, hard-working professionals. Straton Hall is a caterer/floral designer that you can have confidence in and their performance will meet all your expectations. They exceeded mine.

I had always heard tons of great things about Straton Hall. The business actually started in my home town and then moved to Jekyll Island. Stacey the owner can be very difficult to work with, but his taste is amazing. To be fair the flowers were beautiful and the food was amazing. The reason that I rated them so low was all service related. At the time of my wedding he had a lady working for him named Cricket. At the first meeting she was great, but then the week of my wedding I went to review the last of the information with her and she had ordered the wrong flowers and hadn't take notes from ANY of the emails that I had sent her. She then shrugged it off and said that the flowers she ordered were pretty and basically for me to just deal with it (she ended up being fired the week after my wedding. Not because of me but I have a feeling she had done this to other people too.) I was a pretty go with the flow kind of bride so I shrugged off the flowers being different. They weren't what I wanted but they were nice all the same. My most frustrating moment was with Stacey. He had stored my cake for me since a bridesmaid made the cake (she has done it professionally for years). When she went to pick up the cake the day of the wedding all of the fondant had melted. Stacey tells my bridesmaid that she "better get the bride drunk before she sees the cake." He didn't offer an apology or even pretend to care that the cake was ruined. Then during the reception several people reported to me that he was bad mouthing the cake to his employees and said that his cakes were so much better and it would have never happened to his cake. (Cricket had also told me a story of how he melted another cake that had been stored with him the year before). I reported what happened to my husband and after our honeymoon he called Stacey to express his disappointment in his service. Stacey told my husband that the cake baker (my best friend) was a liar and he never said or did any of those things. So not only did he melt the cake and mock me, he also called my friend a liar. All we needed from him was a simple apology. I understand that mistakes happen, but when they happen you apologize.

Straton Hall really impressed us with the initial and final product. In between was a little so so but everything worked great. Food was great especially for the price! Well done Straton Hall!

Wonderful.....The beest food, the best decor, the best customer service... Simply the BEST!

They did an amazing job on my southern flared wedding in the old south colors... right down to helping pick out what type of food would satisfy the theme and the hungry guests....mini tomato sandwiches, lemonade, caramel and apples...
