My inspiration for La Bella Catering comes from my Italian family roots, instilled in me at a young age by my mother and father. Growing up, I learned that food is more than a meal — it is a way of bringing people together, celebrating life’s milestones, and creating lasting memories. These traditions remain at the heart of everything I do.
With over 30 years of catering experience, I have honed my culinary skills to create homemade menu items that delight guests and reflect each client’s unique vision. As the former owner of Debra G’s Catering, Pawleys Tap House and Grill, and Bagel Café, I have been proud to serve the Pawleys Island community for over 15 years, building a reputation for exceptional food and hospitality. Many in the community know me by that name, and while the brand has evolved, my commitment to exceptional food and impeccable service remains the same.
One of my strengths lies in creative menu planning, where I carefully consider the wishes and preferences of each client. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or private gathering, I design menus that perfectly complement the occasion and exceed expectations.
​My commitment to excellence has been recognized by The Knot, where I have been featured for outstanding catering services — a testament to the quality and professionalism I bring to every event.
When you choose La Bella Catering, you can expect more than a meal. You’ll experience food inspired by family traditions, crafted with love, and designed to bring people together for your special day.
