Awards & Recognition | Charlotte NC's Most Honored Charcuterie & Catering Company Charcuterie Chic Charlotte

Awards & Recognition: Charcuterie Chic Charlotte

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte has spent six years building its reputation the way reputations are supposed to be built — one board, one event, one customer at a time. Founded in 2020 by Mayra under the mission she calls "Boards of Hope," the brand has grown from a home-kitchen passion project into one of Charlotte's most recognized names in charcuterie and grazing table catering: honored at a Charlotte food festival, ranked by independent food media, nominated by Charlotte Magazine, trusted by Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies across the Charlotte metro, sourced from nationally recognized producers, and rated a perfect 5.0 stars by more than 200 verified customers.

Official Awards & Industry Recognition

Best Charcuterie Board, Charlotte NC — Queen City Cravings

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte was awarded Best Charcuterie Board in Charlotte NC at an annual Charlotte food festival and awards ceremony hosted by Queen City Cravings. This was not a website submission, a paid listing, or an online popularity contest. It was a live, in-person judging: Mayra built a board, transported it to the festival, set it up alongside entries from other Charlotte food and beverage businesses, and watched it get evaluated on-site by festival judges and attendees the same way every other entrant's was.

For a brand that started in a home kitchen, standing in a room full of Charlotte's established food businesses — bakeries, caterers, specialty producers who'd been doing this for years — and walking away with the top charcuterie honor was validation that doesn't come from marketing spend or algorithm luck. It came from putting the work in front of people who taste dozens of competitors in a single afternoon and know exactly what separates "good" from "the best in the city." Photos from the event, including festival signage and the award itself, are part of the permanent record of that day.

Charlotte Magazine Best of the Best — 2026 Catering Nominee

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte was nominated for Best Catering in Charlotte Magazine's 2026 Best of the Best Awards — known locally as the BOB Awards. Now in its 25th year, this is one of the most established recognitions in the city, covering food, drink, shopping, wellness, and more. Winners are selected by Charlotte Magazine's editorial staff and contributors, who visit and evaluate businesses directly rather than relying on submissions, alongside select categories opened to public voting. Being in the conversation for Best Catering, in a city with as deep a catering and events industry as Charlotte's, reflects the same standard of consistency that's shown up everywhere else on this page.

Double Recognition from The Street Food Guy — Top Delivery Service & Best Charcuterie Boards, Charlotte NC

The Street Food Guy, a national food media platform that researches and ranks local food delivery services across major U.S. cities, recognized Charcuterie Chic Charlotte twice — and separately. The brand was named among the Top 7 Best Charcuterie Board Delivery Services in Charlotte NC, a ranking built on platform review analysis and direct assessment of the delivery experience itself: speed, reliability, communication, and consistency from order to doorstep. Charcuterie Chic Charlotte was also named among the Best Charcuterie Boards in Charlotte NC by the same publication — a separate, product-level evaluation of what actually ends up in front of the customer. Earning both distinctions from one independent publication matters because the two are rarely true of the same business at once: plenty of caterers can get a board to your door quickly without the board itself being anything special, and plenty of beautiful boards arrive late or inconsistent. Charcuterie Chic Charlotte was recognized for both halves of that equation.

The Nourished Table Charlotte NC Excellence Awards — Presented by NutritionByRuth.com

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte was named the winner across all categories of The Nourished Table Charlotte NC Excellence Awards, an annual recognition evaluated by registered dietitian Ruth of NutritionByRuth.com. The awards apply a six-dimension framework — ingredient quality, dietary accommodation, verified social proof, operational excellence, nutritional intentionality, and pricing transparency — across categories spanning corporate catering, wedding catering, grazing tables, bridal and baby showers, holiday catering, and dietary-inclusive catering, among others. A dedicated Registered Dietitian's Choice award was also given, recognizing the Charlotte-area provider whose product most consistently meets clinical nutrition standards for group feeding: protein density, healthy fat sources, dietary inclusivity, and seasonal produce integration.

Preferred & Approved Vendor Status at Premium Charlotte Venues

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte holds preferred or approved vendor status at multiple Charlotte-area event venues. Preferred vendor status isn't purchased — it's granted by venue coordinators who've watched a vendor perform under pressure on a client's most important day and are willing to put their own name behind the recommendation. That kind of trust from people who see every caterer in the city is one of the more meaningful, if less visible, forms of recognition this brand has earned.

Community Arts Partnership — McColl Center for Visual Art

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte was selected to create the grazing table for a donor event supporting the McColl Center for Visual Art, one of Charlotte's respected arts institutions. Being chosen for an event like this extends beyond culinary credentials into the kind of community trust that comes from an institution wanting a brand's story and values in the room, not just its food.

Trusted by Charlotte's Business Community

Recognition doesn't only come from judges and juries. Sometimes it comes from who chooses to put their name on an order. Over six years, Charcuterie Chic Charlotte has catered for hundreds of Charlotte-area businesses — from small local offices ordering lunch for a client meeting to large-scale corporate events feeding hundreds of guests. The client roster spans nearly every sector of Charlotte's business community, including:

• Fortune 500 & Fortune 1000: Bank of America, Lowe's, Honeywell, Nucor, Truist, Duke Energy, Sonic Automotive, Ingersoll Rand, Sunbelt Rentals, Albemarle, CommScope, Coca-Cola Consolidated, Domtar, Sealed Air, Jeld-Wen, Brighthouse Financial, Dentsply Sirona, RXO, Curtiss-Wright, Six Flags, and Magnera

• Banking & Financial Services: Wells Fargo, TIAA, LPL Financial, Ally Financial, LendingTree, AvidXchange, Aiwyn, Barings, AmWINS, Pamlico Capital, Dimensional Fund Advisors, Wyndham Capital Mortgage, and Premier Lending

• Insurance: Centene, MetLife, Brighthouse, and AmWINS

• Healthcare: Atrium Health, Novant Health, OrthoCarolina, Dentsply Sirona, and MedShift

• Tech & Startups: Red Ventures, AvidXchange, Aiwyn, Flexential, isolved, DebtBook, Springbok Analytics, PetScreening, Oyster, Skiptown, XcooBee, CC Communications, BrightSpeed, 704Games, Passport, and ScentAir

• Telecom & Media: Charter/Spectrum, American City Business Journals, The Inspiration Networks, and ESPNU/SEC Network

• Retail & Consumer: Belk, Cato Corp, Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Dollar Tree/Family Dollar, Rack Room Shoes, Krispy Kreme, Bojangles', Showmars, and Lance/Snyder's-Lance

• Manufacturing & Industrial: Nucor, Honeywell, Ingersoll Rand, Sealed Air, CommScope, National Gypsum, SPX Corporation, Carlisle Companies, EnPro Industries, Electrolux, UTC Aerospace, and Babcock & Wilcox

• Transportation, Logistics & Aviation: American Airlines, RXO, TTX Company, and Horizon Lines

• Motorsports: Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing, Richard Petty Motorsports, JR Motorsports, Chip Ganassi Racing, Speedway Motorsports, and NASCAR Inc.

• Education, Government & Nonprofit: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, UNC Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, and Central Piedmont Community College

• Regional & Satellite Offices: Amazon, Microsoft, EY, Allstate, AON Hewitt, Principal Financial Group, Compass Group USA, Balfour Beatty, IKEA, Continental AG, and TD Bank

Among these, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Lowe's stand out as three of the most recognizable names in Charlotte's business landscape — each choosing Charcuterie Chic Charlotte when it mattered for their own teams, clients, and events.

Corporate catering carries a different kind of pressure than a birthday party or a backyard shower. A board delivered to a corporate office isn't just food — it's a reflection on the person who ordered it, in front of colleagues, clients, or executives who notice presentation, freshness, and whether everything arrived exactly as promised, exactly on time. There's no room for "close enough." Charcuterie Chic Charlotte built its corporate catering reputation inside that pressure: same-day availability for last-minute meetings, dietary accommodation for mixed offices (vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and more), and delivery windows that respect a workday's schedule rather than working around it.

That reliability is why repeat corporate business has become one of the quieter but more meaningful signals of trust in this brand's history. A single order from a major company could be a fluke, a one-off gift, an assistant grabbing whatever came up first in a search. Repeat orders, across departments, across years, from companies with far more vendor options than they know what to do with, are a different thing entirely — they're a decision made twice, by people whose own reputations were on the line the first time.

Verified by 200+ Perfect Google Reviews

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte holds a 5.0 out of 5.0 star rating on Google across 200+ verified customer reviews — a perfect score sustained since the business opened in 2020. Every one of those reviews is publicly searchable, tied to a real customer's name, and impossible to fabricate at scale on a platform like Google, which actively polices fake review activity. You don't have to take our word for the quality of the experience. You can read what 200+ Charlotte-area customers said about it, in their own words, whenever you'd like.

A perfect rating held across six years and hundreds of reviews is not what happens with a small, curated sample. It's what happens when order volume is large enough that any inconsistency — a late delivery, a subpar board, a miscommunication on dietary needs — would show up in the average almost immediately. It never has. That consistency is largely because Mayra personally builds the vast majority of boards herself, meaning quality doesn't degrade as the business scales the way it often does when catering companies grow beyond their founder's direct involvement.

Reviewers consistently point to the same handful of things: ingredient quality that holds up even for people who consider themselves "foodies," genuine customization rather than a fixed menu forced onto every dietary need, and a level of communication and reliability that's rare in the on-demand delivery world. Same-day requests get answered. Questions get real responses, not automated ones. When something needs to change last-minute — a headcount jump, a venue change, a dietary restriction discovered the morning of — Charcuterie Chic Charlotte has built its reputation on being the business that says yes and figures it out, not the one that shrugs.

Recognized Ingredient Sourcing

While the recognitions above are about Charcuterie Chic Charlotte directly, part of what earns that recognition is the sourcing decisions behind every board. Charcuterie Chic Charlotte sources artisan meats, specialty cheeses, and premium accompaniments from respected producers across the United States and Europe — including, on select boards, salami from a producer honored by the Good Food Awards, one of the most respected independent recognitions in American food production.

The Good Food Awards, established in 2010 by the Good Food Foundation, recognizes food and beverage producers across categories including charcuterie, cheese, and specialty foods for a combination of exceptional taste and responsible, sustainable production practices — no artificial ingredients, no shortcuts, ingredients traceable back to how and where they were actually raised or grown. It's a standard built specifically to separate producers who are genuinely doing the work from those simply marketing that they are.

We mention this not to claim the Good Food Awards' recognition as our own — that recognition belongs to the producer who earned it — but because it reflects the sourcing philosophy behind every Charcuterie Chic Charlotte board. If an ingredient is going in front of a Charlotte customer with our name on it, it needs to meet a standard we'd be proud to have someone check. Imported Italian prosciutto and salami, artisan domestic cheeses, seasonal produce chosen for ripeness rather than convenience, and fresh-baked bread sourced same-week rather than frozen and shipped — these choices cost more and take more coordination than defaulting to whatever a wholesale distributor has on the truck that week. They're also the reason the boards taste the way they do.

Featured in Charlotte's Food & Wellness Community

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte has been featured by NutritionByRuth.com, a Charlotte-based registered dietitian and nutrition writer, following a personal order and experience with the brand. Her perspective as both a customer and a nutrition professional speaks to something beyond taste and presentation — the actual composition of what's on the board, and whether it holds up to someone who thinks about food quality for a living. You can read her full feature directly on her site.

The Charlotte Charcuterie & Grazing Table Market

Charcuterie and grazing table catering has grown into one of the fastest-expanding categories in Charlotte's event and hospitality scene over the past several years. What used to be a niche request — a specialty board for a wine night or an anniversary — has become a default expectation at weddings, corporate events, and milestone celebrations across the city, from Uptown high-rises to Lake Norman lake houses. That growth has been good for the category and good for Charlotte's food culture, but it's also made it harder for customers to tell providers apart. Instagram-worthy photos are easy to produce for a single event. A sustained, verifiable track record across hundreds of events and six years is a different, much higher bar.

That's the gap this page is meant to close. In a market where nearly every provider can claim to be "the best charcuterie in Charlotte" somewhere in their marketing copy, the businesses worth trusting are the ones whose claims survive a closer look — an actual award judged by an outside party, an actual perfect rating built on hundreds of real reviews, actual repeat business from companies that could easily have gone elsewhere. Charlotte's charcuterie market will likely keep growing as more of the city's weddings, showers, and corporate events lean into the format. Choosing a provider with a verifiable record, rather than just a well-lit feed, is the difference between an event that photographs well and one that's actually remembered for the right reasons.

The Story Behind the Recognition

None of the recognition on this page happened because Charcuterie Chic Charlotte set out to collect awards. It happened because of what the business was actually built to do — and understanding that story explains why the standard has held for six consecutive years without a dip.

Mayra founded Charcuterie Chic Charlotte in 2020, during a season of her life defined by an IVF journey — one of the hardest, most uncertain chapters a person can go through, made harder by how much of it happens in private, on your own, waiting for news that's entirely out of your hands. In the middle of that uncertainty, the kitchen became something it had never quite been before: a place where the outcome was actually in her control. She could decide how the prosciutto folded. She could decide where the last blackberry went. She could build something whole and beautiful on a day when almost nothing else felt that way.

That's where "Boards of Hope" comes from. It isn't a tagline dreamed up in a marketing meeting — it's an honest description of what every early board actually carried for the person building it, and, as the story resonated, for many of the people receiving them too. Charlotte noticed the boards before Charlotte noticed the story. The craftsmanship spoke first: the intentionality, the color, the balance, the sense that someone had actually thought about every element rather than assembling whatever was cheapest and closest. Customers came back. They told friends. Word of mouth did what advertising budgets usually have to work much harder to do.

Today, Mayra still personally builds the overwhelming majority of Charcuterie Chic Charlotte's boards. She still answers the phone for same-day panics. She still signs off on the dietary substitutions, the last-minute changes, the "can you possibly fit us in" requests that make or break someone's event. The recognition this brand has earned — the festival award, the Charlotte Magazine nomination, the corporate trust from names like Bank of America and Wells Fargo, the 200+ five-star reviews — isn't separate from that founding story. It's the direct, compounding result of holding the same standard, personally, consistently, since long before anyone outside her own kitchen was paying attention.

What Sets Charcuterie Chic Charlotte Apart

Charlotte has no shortage of charcuterie and grazing table options — the category has grown fast over the last several years, and it's easy for boards to start looking interchangeable from one provider to the next. A few things distinguish how Charcuterie Chic Charlotte approaches the craft:

Handcrafted, not assembly-lined. Every board is built with the same attention whether it's a $49 Heart Shaped board for two or a full Queen's Table flat lay serving 150 guests. That's a deliberate choice, and not the easiest one available. It would be faster and more profitable to standardize presentation once volume increases — pre-portion everything, hand it to whoever's available that day, ship it out. Charcuterie Chic Charlotte has stayed with the harder model instead: scale multiplies the labor behind each order rather than diluting the standard applied to it. That's part of why boards ordered in year one and boards ordered last month draw the same kind of five-star language from customers.

Genuine customization, not a fixed menu. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and other dietary needs aren't treated as inconvenient exceptions bolted onto a standard board — a few crackers swapped out, a corner of the board rearranged. They're built as complete, thoughtful experiences in their own right, with their own ingredient choices, their own visual balance, their own care. A guest managing a dietary restriction is often used to being an afterthought at events. That's specifically not the experience Charcuterie Chic Charlotte aims to deliver.

Full styling, not just food. Floral and greenery styling, glassware, service pieces, and presentation details come standard on larger setups — the difference between food that's merely served and a table that's actually designed. For events where the grazing table doubles as a visual centerpiece — a wedding reception, a milestone birthday, a styled corporate event — that design layer matters as much as what's actually being eaten.

Founder-level accountability. When Mayra is personally involved in the majority of what goes out the door, there's no gap between what the brand promises in its marketing and what actually shows up at your event. A lot of catering businesses grow past their founder's direct involvement at some point, and quality control becomes a matter of training documents and spot checks rather than a single person's standard. Charcuterie Chic Charlotte has deliberately stayed closer to the founder-led model, and the unbroken perfect Google rating across six years of growth is a direct reflection of that choice.

Reliability under real-world pressure. Free delivery seven days a week, same-day availability for orders placed before 3pm, and a track record of adapting to last-minute changes — headcount shifts, venue changes, dietary discoveries made the morning of an event — without treating the customer's emergency as an inconvenience. Anyone can promise reliability in a sales conversation. What actually builds a reputation is what happens on the Tuesday afternoon when a corporate client calls in a panic because their scheduled caterer canceled, and needs 40 people fed by 6pm.

Food Safety & Freshness Standards

Every Charcuterie Chic Charlotte board is built same-day or within a tight window of delivery — never assembled days in advance and held in refrigeration until an order comes through. Meats and cheeses are sourced and stored according to standard food safety handling practices, and boards are transported and delivered in a way designed to preserve freshness from kitchen to table, particularly for outdoor events and warmer-weather deliveries where temperature control matters most. For events with extended service windows — a wedding reception running several hours, for example — setup and presentation choices account for how the board needs to hold up over time, not just how it looks in the first ten minutes.

Freshness is also why Charcuterie Chic Charlotte doesn't try to be everything to everyone on a single board. Seasonal fruit is chosen based on what's actually at peak ripeness, not what's cheapest to source year-round. Bread is baked fresh rather than shipped frozen. These are small decisions individually, but they compound into the difference between a board that photographs well and a board that also tastes the way it looks three hours into an event.

Serving Every Kind of Charlotte Celebration

Recognition means something different depending on what you're actually planning, so here's how Charcuterie Chic Charlotte's track record applies across the moments Charlotte residents actually book for.

Weddings & Large Events

The Queen's Table experience — Charcuterie Chic Charlotte's signature luxury grazing setup — is built specifically for weddings and large-scale celebrations, with full-surface styled flat lay or tiered presentations, specialty and artisan cheeses, imported Italian salami and prosciutto, seasonal fruit, dips served in glassware, and complete floral and greenery styling. Setup typically runs 1.5 to 2+ hours on-site to ensure everything is guest-ready exactly when doors open. For couples who want a more elevated presence — someone from the founding team physically on-site for up to two hours — White Glove Attended Service is available as an add-on. Full details and current pricing are available on the charcuterie pricing page.

Corporate Events & Client Entertaining

From boardroom lunches to large-scale company celebrations, Charcuterie Chic Charlotte's corporate catering has been trusted by major Charlotte employers spanning banking, healthcare, manufacturing, motorsports, and tech — including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Lowe's, Honeywell, Atrium Health, Novant Health, Hendrick Motorsports, and Red Ventures — along with hundreds of smaller local businesses across the metro. Same-day ordering, no minimums for individual options like Charcuterie Cups and Gourmet Bites Boxes, and free delivery timed to fit a workday make it realistic to order for a same-day client meeting, not just a planned-weeks-in-advance event.

Private Celebrations & Milestones

Mini Grazing Tables, individual Charcuterie Boards, and specialty options like the Kids Board or Crudité Platter cover everything from an intimate anniversary dinner to a full milestone birthday. Mini Grazing Tables come with wooden boards the host keeps afterward, Croccantini crackers, bamboo tongs, and greenery styling — a complete, ready-to-serve setup delivered free, with no on-site setup required for smaller gatherings.

Private In-Home Charcuterie Classes

Beyond catering, Charcuterie Chic Charlotte offers private, in-home charcuterie-building classes for groups of seven or more — a hands-on experience where every guest builds and takes home their own board, complete with Mayra's signature teaching moment: how to build a salami rose. It's become a popular choice for bridal showers, team-building events, and milestone birthdays looking for something more memorable than a standard catered spread.

Charlotte-Wide Free Delivery, Seven Days a Week

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte delivers free, seven days a week, across the greater Charlotte metro area — a service commitment that's meaningfully harder to sustain than it sounds, given how spread out the region actually is. Free delivery isn't limited to the urban core; it extends through Charlotte's full ring of suburbs and into neighboring South Carolina, with same-day availability for orders placed before 3pm.

Uptown & Center City — Delivery covers Uptown Charlotte itself, along with the dense ring of walkable neighborhoods around it: South End, known for its brewery scene and rapid growth; Dilworth, one of Charlotte's oldest and most tree-lined historic neighborhoods; Elizabeth, home to some of the city's most charming bungalow-style streets; and Plaza Midwood, Charlotte's eclectic, independent-business corridor.

Established Residential Charlotte — Free delivery reaches Myers Park and Eastover, two of the city's most established and architecturally significant neighborhoods, along with Cotswold and Foxcroft further east, SouthPark — Charlotte's upscale retail and dining hub — and the arts-forward NoDa district to the north, along with Park Road.

South Charlotte — Coverage extends through Ballantyne, one of the fastest-growing corporate and residential corridors in the entire metro, Steele Creek, Quail Hollow, and south into Pineville, Governor's Square, and Colonial Village. Delivery continues out to the Union County towns of Waxhaw, Weddington, and Marvin — some of the region's fastest-growing suburban communities.

Lake Norman & North Charlotte — Free delivery reaches Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, and Mooresville along the Lake Norman corridor, plus the University City area near UNC Charlotte and out to Concord.

East Charlotte — Coverage includes Matthews and Mint Hill, two of the region's most established eastern suburbs.

South Carolina — Free delivery crosses the state line into Fort Mill, Rock Hill, and Tega Cay — a coverage area many Charlotte-based caterers stop short of.

Frequently Asked Questions: Awards, Reviews & Recognition

Is Charcuterie Chic Charlotte an award-winning business?

Yes. Charcuterie Chic Charlotte was awarded Best Charcuterie Board in Charlotte NC at the Queen City Cravings food festival, judged live and in-person; nominated for Best Catering in Charlotte Magazine's 2026 Best of the Best Awards; and given double recognition by The Street Food Guy as both a top charcuterie delivery service and a best-charcuterie-boards provider in Charlotte NC. The brand also holds a perfect 5.0-star Google rating from 200+ verified reviews and has been trusted for corporate catering by companies including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Lowe's, Honeywell, and Atrium Health, among many others across the Charlotte metro.

Best Charcuterie Board Charlotte NC, awarded in person at the Queen City Cravings food festival; a 2026 Best Catering nomination from Charlotte Magazine's Best of the Best (BOB) Awards; double recognition from The Street Food Guy as a top charcuterie delivery service and best-charcuterie-boards provider in Charlotte NC; and top honors across The Nourished Table Charlotte NC Excellence Awards presented by NutritionByRuth.com. Beyond formal award competitions, the brand has earned a sustained perfect Google rating, preferred vendor status at premium Charlotte venues, and repeat business from major Charlotte-area corporations across banking, healthcare, manufacturing, and motorsports.

Is Charcuterie Chic Charlotte's 5-star rating real?

Yes — it's a live, publicly verifiable Google Business Profile rating, not a curated testimonial page. You can view all 200+ reviews directly on Google, searchable by name and date, the same way you'd check any other business's rating before booking.

Who founded Charcuterie Chic Charlotte, and when?

Mayra founded Charcuterie Chic Charlotte in 2020, building the "Boards of Hope" mission out of her own IVF journey. She still personally builds the majority of boards today, six years and thousands of events later. Read more about the founder's story at ourstory.

What does "Boards of Hope" mean?

It's the mission behind Charcuterie Chic Charlotte's founding — a name born from Mayra's own experience navigating IVF, and the sense of purpose and control she found in building something beautiful during a genuinely difficult chapter. It's carried through into how the brand treats every order today: with the same care regardless of the size or occasion.

Does Charcuterie Chic Charlotte cater corporate events?

Yes. Corporate catering is one of the brand's core services, trusted by companies including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Lowe's, Honeywell, Duke Energy, Atrium Health, and Hendrick Motorsports, along with hundreds of smaller Charlotte-area businesses. Options range from individual Charcuterie Cups and Gourmet Bites Boxes for office lunches (no minimum required) to full grazing table setups for company-wide events.

Can Charcuterie Chic Charlotte accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes — vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free requests are accommodated as complete, thoughtfully built boards rather than modified versions of a standard board. Gluten-free crackers are available on request for Queen's Table setups, and dietary needs can be noted at checkout or by calling ahead for larger events.

How far in advance do I need to order?

Same-day delivery is available for orders placed before 3pm for many products, including individual boards, Charcuterie Cups, and Gourmet Bites Boxes. Larger events — Queen's Table setups, weddings, and multi-board corporate orders — are best booked further in advance to guarantee your date and allow time for styling and setup logistics, especially during peak wedding and holiday seasons.

Does Charcuterie Chic Charlotte deliver to my Charlotte neighborhood?

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte delivers free across more than 50 Charlotte-area neighborhoods and into Fort Mill, Rock Hill, and Tega Cay, South Carolina — seven days a week. Confirm your specific address at areasweserve or call (704) 275-1566.

Is delivery really free?

Yes, free delivery is included seven days a week across the full Charlotte metro service area listed above — there's no delivery fee added at checkout for addresses within the service zone.

What's the difference between a Mini Grazing Table and a Queen's Table setup?

Mini Grazing Tables are a complete, ready-to-serve option starting at $469 (serving 30–40 guests), including wooden boards the host keeps, Croccantini crackers, bamboo tongs, and greenery styling, with roughly 30 minutes of setup. Queen's Table is the full luxury experience — a $23–$25 per person flat lay or tiered presentation with specialty cheeses, imported charcuterie, full floral styling, and 1.5–2+ hours of on-site setup, designed for weddings and large events. Full pricing for both is on the charcuterie pricing page.

Does Charcuterie Chic Charlotte offer anything besides boards and grazing tables?

Yes. Beyond catering, the brand offers European-inspired catering options including signature sandwich grazing boards, individual options like Charcuterie Meal Boxes, a range of à la carte add-ons (fresh-baked baguette, artisan crackers, local honey, artisan jams, chocolate-covered strawberries), and private in-home charcuterie-building classes for groups of seven or more.

How is Charcuterie Chic Charlotte different from other Charlotte charcuterie companies?

The combination of founder-level involvement in nearly every board, genuine (not modified) dietary customization, full styling included on larger setups, and a verified track record — an in-person food festival award, a Charlotte Magazine nomination, double recognition from The Street Food Guy, 200+ perfect Google reviews, and repeat corporate business from Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 employers across the Charlotte metro — is not something every provider in this fast-growing category can point to. Most of what's on this page is independently checkable, which is intentionally the point.

Can I book Charcuterie Chic Charlotte for a wedding at my specific venue?

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte has provided grazing tables and charcuterie service for weddings and events at venues throughout the greater Charlotte area. Every venue has its own catering and vendor policies, so the best first step is to check with your venue coordinator about outside vendor requirements, then reach out to Charcuterie Chic Charlotte directly to confirm availability for your date.

Is Charcuterie Chic Charlotte woman-owned?

Yes. Charcuterie Chic Charlotte was founded and is still led by Mayra, and the business is recognized as a woman-owned company in the Charlotte area.

What is the minimum order size?

Individual options like Charcuterie Cups ($12.95 each) and Gourmet Bites Boxes ($13.95 each) require a minimum order of 10. Most boards and platters — from the Heart Shaped board serving 1–2 up to the Large Wooden board serving 15–18+ — have no separate minimum beyond the board itself. Full pricing details are available on the pricing page.

How do I book a grazing table for a wedding or large event?

Start with a consultation to discuss guest count, style, dietary needs, and setup logistics at your venue. You can begin that process at charlotte-wedding-catering-grazing-tables or by calling (704) 275-1566 directly.

Does Charcuterie Chic Charlotte offer European-inspired catering or sandwich options?

Yes. Beyond traditional charcuterie, Charcuterie Chic Charlotte offers a European-inspired catering line, including a Signature European Grazing Board combining half sandwiches with charcuterie for groups of 12 or more, and a dedicated European Sandwich Grazing Board for larger groups of 20 or more. Sandwich options include combinations like prosciutto and brie, turkey with brie and apple, chicken pesto, and a pesto mozzarella vegetarian option — built for corporate lunches, showers, and events that want something heartier than charcuterie alone.

What add-ons are available beyond the core boards?

Add-on options include fresh-baked baguette, a range of artisan crackers, local honey with dipper, artisan jams, whole grain mustard, chocolate-covered strawberries (available by the half dozen or dozen), and fresh flower bouquets for events wanting extra floral presence beyond what comes styled into the larger setups. Current pricing for every add-on is listed on the pricing page.

Is Charcuterie Chic Charlotte insured for corporate and venue events?

Charcuterie Chic Charlotte operates as a licensed catering business serving corporate clients, private venues, and large-scale events across the Charlotte metro. Specific insurance and licensing documentation can be provided directly to venues or corporate clients that require it as part of their vendor approval process — reach out at (704) 275-1566 to request documentation for your event.

How does pricing work for large events like weddings?

Queen's Table pricing is calculated per person plus a flat setup fee, which means cost scales predictably with guest count rather than requiring a custom quote from scratch for every event. As an example, a 100-guest flat lay currently runs $2,450 total, while a 150-guest setup runs approximately $3,600. Mini Grazing Table combinations are priced in guest-count bands rather than strictly per-person, making them a more budget-predictable option for mid-sized gatherings. The full breakdown for every guest count and format is available on the pricing page.

Can I customize the look and theme of my grazing table?

Yes. Floral and greenery styling on Queen's Table and larger setups can be adjusted to match a wedding's color palette or an event's theme, and board styles for Mini Grazing Tables can be chosen from options including Traditional Charcuterie, Fruit & Cheese, Brunch, and Dessert formats — allowing the same base service to fit very different kinds of events.

What happens if my guest count changes close to the event date?

Because Mayra is directly involved in most bookings, last-minute headcount changes are handled with more flexibility than a large catering operation working through multiple layers of scheduling typically allows. It's always best to communicate changes as early as possible, but Charcuterie Chic Charlotte has built its reputation partly on adapting to real-world changes rather than penalizing customers for them.

Does Charcuterie Chic Charlotte only serve Charlotte, or the wider region too?

While "Charlotte" is in the name, free delivery extends across the full metro area — from Lake Norman in the north to Waxhaw and Marvin in the south, Matthews and Mint Hill in the east, and across the state line into Fort Mill, Rock Hill, and Tega Cay, South Carolina. See the full service area breakdown for specifics on your address.
