Great food and fair pricing

Great price and delicious food! There were many options to choose from and they let us do a tasting beforehand to choose from a few options. They were kind, efficient and easy to work with! Would recommend!

Delicious Food!

The bourbon glazed chicken is amazing! All the food tasted good and their desserts were a major hit. They were easy to work with and helped answer all my questions.

Great food and even better service

Working with Gourmet Goodies was simple and easy. I never felt so taken care of especially with fear of running out of food. The food was amazing and exactly what we asked for. Not only that but the service was seamless!

Ms Thelma and her crew were simply wonderful! From the first meeting to the taste testing right down to the wedding dinner... everything was fantastic. We got so many compliments on how good dinner was and the set up was beautiful. Thank you Gourmet Goodies for helping make my daughters wedding day perfect!

I can only say great things about Ms. Thelma and her team at Gourmet Goodies. From researching online, consultation meeting, tasting, to the wedding day was nothing but smooth sailing. The pricing is reasonable and you get quality/delicious food! My guests raved about everything we served, especially the Caribbean Jerk Chicken! The staff were polite, efficient, and quiet so much so I didn't know they had cleaned up and left once everything was done. I highly recommend Gourmet Goodies!
So many options and again everything was delicious! Thank you Ms. Thelma!

Thelma was so helpful and spent a lot of time with us. She provided everything we wanted and the food was delicious. Many of our guests commented that the food was some of the best that they had had at a wedding. The toughest part was deciding what entrees to pick. She offers so many! I would definitely recommend Gourmet Goodies!

We used Gourmet Goodies for our wedding and I can not say enough good things about Thelma and her staff. From signing the contract to the end of the wedding everything was perfect. She was so easy to work with and did exactly what we wanted. The pricing was great for all that was included. The day of the wedding her staff was top notch. They were so friendly and polite with all of my guest. I will definitely use her in the future and I will recommend her to others for sure.

From the time I found Gourmet Goodies' transparent menu (Buffet, $X per person, includes 1 entrée, 2 sides, 1 salad, beverages) I knew they were the caterer for me, if I could get them to my venue. Their website flyer had a list of different entrees, sides, salad I could choose from, and indicates what you can get for price upgrades (pricey entrees, extra entrée/side, appetizer, dishes). They aren't mysterious like other catering companies, providing only sample menus and hinting they can design a custom menu with sliding price points. I don't cook, and don't know how to design a menu. I am a person with a budget and need to know how much I will be spending, what I am getting, and whether it is worth it to upgrade to a more expensive entrée, add a second entrée, and get appetizers. I don't have time to research tons of food options and present it to the caterer. GG's base price is affordable enough I felt good about doing upgrades- but you don't have to upgrade & it'll be great.
Gourmet Goodies, led by the very competent and professional Thelma, has clear information on the website. The contact phone number and email is right there, and not hidden.
They arrived when they said they would, and got right down to business. Their presentation is beautiful. My photographer, a superstar at the area I held my wedding, asked who my caterer was because they seemed so professional. At the end, GG packed up leftovers for me and I was able to enjoy the next day.
Not only was Gourmet Goodies flawless, Thelma also went above and beyond to help me out with a few things, which I won't divulge specifics so no one expects it ;)
Lastly, the food was delicious- all my guests raved about it. I wanted to just drink their sweet tea all night too.
During the planning process, I had a lot of questions, but Thelma or one of her employees would always answer to the best of their ability, and everything was spot on. I was lucky to find them.

We got country ham biscuits with homemade honey mustard dipping sauce and it did not disappoint! The women were so great to work with and let us try one before we bought! They were so easy to work with and highly recommend if you are looking for local place to get some goodies!!
