The Clean Plate Club

At its best, food inspires our sense of pleasure, comfort, and community. The inspired cuisine of The Clean Plate Club transforms your event into something remarkable. Monica Holmes, along with her son Chef Chris Holmes and their team of culinary artisans at Nashville’s Clean Plate Club, bring spectacular menus, extraordinary creativity and true Southern hospitality to the table.

A member of the select “Leading Caterers of America,” (among other professional associations), Monica and her staff can guide you from the initial consultation through the entire process of planning your guest list, designing the location space, and creating a personalized menu made of artisanal ingredients expertly matched with exquisite wines… down to the final glass of cognac. We are also equally happy to work with your chosen event or wedding planner.

Repeatedly voted as one of Nashville’s top caterers, the Clean Plate Club is a boutique, full-service company and the go-to caterer for high-profile weddings or a private photo session with Annie Leibovitz. We’ve fed Nashville’s top music stars, catered avant-garde art shows and buttoned-down corporate meetings, produced private parties in some of Nashville’s finest homes, and thrown holiday bashes for thousands. The Clean Plate Club was also chosen to cater a large event for wedding expert Colin Cowie, and was prominently featured on Food Nation with Bobby Flay.

Our accomplished chefs and bakers use the highest quality ingredients, and strive to use local sustainable foods whenever possible. From plated multi-course meals to breakfast buffets, our dishes are elegantly presented with panache and a pinch of fun for your guests’ enjoyment.

The Clean Plate Club has more than three decades experience creating outstanding, cutting-edge cuisine with flawless service for our clients, and designing literally thousands of events that include music, lighting and décor. We do this by working closely with a hand-selected group of florists, event designers, and décor companies to customize your event. This enables us to handle the most complex venue with flawless attention to detail that will put your mind at ease. From Southern plantations to enchanting gardens to historic architectural treasures, The Clean Plate Club has long-standing relationships with a wide range of breathtaking venues for vow exchanges or glamorous galas.

Whether your party is small or large or requires fine dining or fried chicken, our team's passion for excellence and perfection will make your special occasion the event of your dreams.
