Hamby Catering & Events has received national recognition from the International Caterers Association (ICA), winning Best Catered Wedding at the prestigious Catered Arts Through Innovative Excellence (CATIE) Awards. The award honors the most creative and expertly executed catered events across the country and is widely regarded as one of the catering industry’s highest honors.
Hamby earned the award for a wedding experience titled “Black Tie on the Back Forty,” a refined outdoor celebration that transformed a private family farm in Aiken, South Carolina into an elevated black-tie dining experience for 128 guests. The event impressed judges with its thoughtful culinary progression, polished service and ability to seamlessly balance luxury with the natural landscape.
“We are incredibly honored to receive this national recognition from the International Caterers Association,” said Candice Culbertson, president and owner of Hamby Catering & Events. “Our team approaches every event with the goal of creating something truly memorable for guests. This award celebrates the creativity, dedication, and craftsmanship our culinary and events teams bring to each experience.”…
