The Next Chapter in a Family Legacy

For more than 18 years, Kathy’s Sugar and Spice Catering has been known for delivering Southern comfort food with unmatched hospitality. Behind the scenes of every sizzling skillet, perfectly seasoned brisket, and beautifully executed event is a team led by mother-and-son duo Kathy and Thomas Dennis.

Thomas has been full-time in the business for over 7 years, managing both the kitchen and event execution. What began as helping his mom with weekend events has become a passion-driven calling rooted in community, relationships, and service.

““Being able to serve people on one of the most important days of their lives? That’s what fills my cup.””
— Thomas
 

With his infectious energy, down-to-earth presence, and get-it-done mindset, Thomas is often the first one on-site and the last to leave. Whether he's prepping pans of white chocolate bread pudding or loading serving trays with care, his work is marked by intention, excellence, and joy.

WHAT SETS THOMAS APART:

Deep experience in food service & event operations

A true connector in the wedding and event world

Known and loved across Sumner County (and hugged in every room!)

A natural leader who’s hands-on from prep to clean-up

Committed to honoring Kathy’s legacy while growing the next generation of hospitality

Thomas ensures each client receives the full-service experience Kathy’s is known for. From overseeing staff and setup logistics to ensuring the mac and cheese is just right—he is the quiet engine behind events that run smooth and food that guests rave about.
