About
We are passionate in what we do!
We love what we do, and we continue to strive for excellence for every guest. Yes we call our clients “guests", because we want them to become an extension of our family atmosphere. The combined almost two decades experience and knowledge we bestow allows us to be traditional but creative. Creating an unique experience is majorly important to demonstrate
to every guest.
As an example of the experience, we love our guests to be pleasantly surprised by the taste of a particular dish when they questioned if it could be done!…….When it goes from silence, to “Ooo's and yumm's” and the smiles on their faces appear. 🤩Success achieved!
Nevertheless, TGS would be honored to provide services for all. As all businesses incur cost, we incur more cost from every inquiry. And we take every inquiry seriously. Thus, we hope you are serious as well.
TGS have policies and procedures in place to benefit all parties involved. So when you’re ready we look forward to hearing from you.

The service provided by Grand Services was exceptional. I booked them for my family reunion, and from helping me select the menu to preparing and catering the food, the entire experience exceeded my expectations. The Chef was personable, attentive, and genuinely committed to making the day special. My family thoroughly enjoyed the food, and we truly appreciated the care and effort that went into making our reunion a wonderful experience.

Chef B was incredible!! We worked together to create a menu everyone would love and she came up with amazing ideas. She arrived at the home we rented during our wedding and when we got back she was already busy working getting everything ready for our amazing meal! The food was all delicious and our guests loved it too. She served us and cleared plates as well as hand washed dishes/loaded the dishwasher. She completely cleaned the kitchen, including vacuuming. She is so kind and sweet and we would absolutely book her again and recommend her!

Chef B delivered an absolutely unforgettable brunch experience for our friend’s 40th birthday celebration in Asheville! We wanted a relaxed Sunday send-off in our cabin, and waking up to the most incredible aromas drifting through the house set the tone perfectly.
Although prep took a bit longer than expected, the meal was so worth the wait. From the moment we connected by phone, Chef B was warm, responsive, and clearly passionate about bringing our vision to life. We simply requested bacon, potatoes, and biscuits with gravy, and trusted her with the rest — and wow, did she run with it! She surprised us with fresh fruit parfaits, perfectly cooked eggs, and delightful French waffles that truly elevated the entire spread.
I couldn’t have imagined a better brunch to cap off our weekend. Thank you so much, Chef B, for making it absolutely amazing!

Yes it begins with usually if the guest has a head count and base budget. But could change depending the menu and any additional amenities needed.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Talking to the guest and getting a feel of what the guest wants and needs. Gathering all the information needed at the beginning helps to have a great start for great service. If there is further development needed, we will then follow through to contact the guest back in a reasonable time.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended The Art Institute of Charlotte to study Culinary Art. Along with my extensive years of cooking with my family's catering business.
