Jodi Newland, Owner

The Experience

Upon your initial inquiry, you will be paired with an event designer who will guide you through the entire planning process.

With your vision and tastes in mind, your designer works with you to customize your menu.

Then, based on this menu, a comprehensive plan for the day will be created. This plan may include coordination of rentals, tabletop design, linens, floor plans, bar services, and staffing that you will need on your special day.

Our Signatures

Shrimp and Grits

A favorite for many years, these stone ground heirloom corn grits from the Mississippi Delta are topped with delicious garlic sautéed shrimp, scallions, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar.

Sweet Potato Encrusted Chicken Pot Pie

A Sweetwater best seller! A creamy filling full of tender chicken and vegetables is topped with our famous sweet potato biscuit dough and baked to a golden brown. A perfect addition to any menu, this dish can be served in creative ways – from shot glasses to mason jars to casserole dishes!

Gourmet Mac ‘ n’ Cheese

This grown up version of Jodi’s childhood favorite is made with penne pasta and six cheeses, but pleases young and old, alike.

Simply Sweetwater

A sweet, refreshing beverage with a light peach flavor and just enough bubbles to lift your spirits. It's innocent on its own, but also plays well with champagne and peach liquors.

Bread Pudding

This simple New Orleans classic is sinfully delicious and has stolen the show on Sweetwater dessert stage. Available daily in the café and the Penny Pantry.

Sweet Potato Biscuits

These delicious silver dollar sized biscuits are a staple at the Sweetwater table! Perfected over the years, these fluffy sweet biscuits pair perfectly with Edwards Country Ham and any flavor of homemade jam. These jewels are available in our Penny Pantry freezer!

Honey Pecan Fried Chicken

Our rendition of a southern classic! A honey, pecan butter elevates this classic buttermilk fried chicken to a gourmet meal that will leave your taste buds wanting more! It is a perfect complement to our Gourmet Mac ‘n’ Cheese!
