She/her/hersAbout Me
Tanya Gurrieri is a seasoned veteran in catering and event planning. Tanya not only brings her significant industry experience and relationships, but also her deep understanding of the South Carolina Lowcountry, its food, people, style, and scene.
A native Charlestonian and a graduate of the College of Charleston, Tanya worked for some of the region’s top hospitality and events companies before founding Salthouse. She was trained in catering with industry leaders at Bold Catering in Atlanta, GA before coming home to Charleston to launch and cultivate Holy City Hospitality’s catering division, Good Food Catering, and the Historic Rice Mill venue. Tanya also managed the start-up of Caviar & Bananas’ full-service catering arm before striking out on her own.
Married to a former chef who now works in the building industry, Tanya enjoys travelling, live music (especially The Avett Brothers), and entertaining their family and many friends, who never turn down a meal at the Gurrieri house. They have two children, one in college and one working locally in hospitality.
