What G Catering does
G Catering is a Nashville-based full-service catering company founded in 2006 by Guy Haskins, providing catering, bar service, and event production for corporate events, weddings, and social gatherings throughout the Nashville area. The company operates from a single Nashville location with 11-50 employees and holds exclusive in-house catering agreements at premium Nashville venues including Mint Springs Farm, Diamond Creek Farms, and Cedarwood, while also serving as a preferred caterer at more than 50 Nashville venues.
The business is differentiated by integrated bar service capability: G Catering holds a full liquor license, making it one of the few Nashville caterers able to bundle food and bar service under a single contract. This regulatory advantage, combined with venue exclusivity arrangements, allows the company to compete for high-end weddings and corporate events that require turnkey food, beverage, staffing, and rental coordination. The company is a member of Leading Caterers of America, an industry peer organization signaling top-tier capability.
The business model is event-based with quoted pricing that includes a 20% operational fee, 9.25% sales tax, and a 25% deposit requirement at booking. Revenue is generated per event with menu customization, staffing, rentals, and bar service bundled into contracts. The company is privately held, bootstrapped (no external funding disclosed), and operates without disclosed revenue figures. Customer segments span corporate clients (e.g., Studio Bank, Nashville Wine Auction), nonprofit partners (Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee), and a long tail of wedding and social event clients served through both exclusive and preferred-caterer venue relationships.
