Owners

Long time Charleston residents, Chris & Meghan Timby, have been shaking things up in the Food and Beverage industry for over a decade. Together the Timbys own and operate not only Squeeze Cocktail & Beverage Catering, but also one of Charleston’s top Wedding & Event Catering companies, Rosemary & Rye Catering.

Good food and strong drinks are the backbone of any great celebration and their aim is to deliver both in a way that exceeds expectations and ensures the good times roll.
