    Easy Breezy

    When planning our wedding we wanted someone who would help take care of it all so we didn’t have as much to worry about. From the beginning Olive and her team were super helpful and informative and made us feel at ease, and of course the food was delicious. They constantly kept us updated and helped with creating a timeline of the day, and I would recommend them to anyone starting their wedding planning journey.

    Smooth Sailing Start to Finish

    I can't say enough good things about Olive & her team at Casual Gourmet. They were incredibly professional & the most responsive of any vendor I hired (even months before my wedding). They always eased any fear I had & were super accommodating of little details I wanted to add, even days before our big day. I really appreciated how clear & concise their quote was, and that they were willing to work with us to save some money where we could. Casual Gourmet is so experienced that I never had any doubts about over/under ordering, day-of logistics, scheduling, bar set-ups, staffing, inclement weather changes etc. - all big things that I know can make or break a wedding day. My husband and I felt so relaxed and at ease on our day because we knew we were in the best hands and the CG team would calmly handle any bump in the road. On top of all of this, the food, desserts & cake were outstanding. The passed apps and raw bar were abundant & delicious. We had a seated dinner for 185 at a private home (CG cooked in the garage), which they handled beautifully - with food coming out hot & on time. The cake and desserts were delectable and guests were still talking about them months later. Casual Gourmet also bartended our wedding & did such an amazing job at crowd control, while still keeping the bars looking beautiful. Overall, we are just so grateful for Olive & her team's herculean efforts, making our July wedding a dream come true!

    An evening we could only dream of

    From start to finish, Casual Gourmet was wonderful to work with. They worked with us to plan and execute a wedding we could only dream over. The food was excellent, and the service throughout the evening was superb. We recommend Casual Gourmet to anyone having a wedding on the Cape in the near future!

    Flawless!!

    I highly recommend Casual Gourmet. Mary Di Rienzo and her staff did an incredible job. They offer many choices. Our appetizers and entrees for the reception were absolutely delicious. Everything was beautifully and professionally served and enjoyed by all. Mary was our day-of-coordinator. She was with us every step of the way. She took charge and made sure the ceremony and reception ran smoothly. Huge success!

    Overcame Challenging Weather for a Memorable Day

    We planned an outdoor wedding for 85 guests under a tent at our home. Casual Gourmet was with us every step of the way, making recommendations to cover all contingencies. Our worst fears were realized when a torrential rainstorm drenched our event! Fortunately, the amazing organization and resourcefulness from Olive and the Casual Gourmet team saved the day! Everyone enjoyed the festive and delicious food, awesome wedding cake (!), great bar service, and friendly, professional staff taking care of every detail. Casual Gourmet went above and beyond to make sure our event was stress-free, enjoyable and beautiful from start to finish. They did an amazing job. Why entrust anyone else with your most important day?

    Casual Gourmet is the absolute best!

    From the minute we met Mary of Casual Gourmet, I knew we were in good hands for my son's 200+ wedding on our property. She was so professional and such a take charge kind of person, I could totally relax on the wedding day. And the food was outstanding, delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend them and should I have another large event, I will definitely use them again.

    Casual gourmet: professional, supportive and thorough!

    MY DAUGHTER WAS MARRIED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AT BOURNE FARM, A BEAUTIFUL VENUE! BOURNE FARM REQUIRES A LOT OF COORDINATION AND FROM THE FIRST TIME WE MET WITH MARY FROM CASUAL GOURMET WE KNEW WE HAD CHOSEN THE BEST. NOT ONLY WILL CASUAL GOURMET TAKE CARE OF THE CATERING, (THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT), BUT MARY ASKED FOR A LIST OF ALL THE VENDORS AND COORDINATED EVERYTHING. MARY HELPED WITH THE SCHEDULE, KEPT THINGS FLOWING AND HIT THE MARK WITH THE CEREMONY, COCKTAIL HOUR AND RECEPTION. SHE WAS IN TOTAL CONTROL AND EVERYONE SAT BACK AND HAD A BLAST! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CASUAL GOURMET, THEIR STAFF, AND MARY; AND THE WEDDING CAKE WAS DELICIOUS! MY ENTIRE FAMILY LEFT THE RECEPTION AFTER GIVING BIGS HUGS TO MARY, FOR MAKING MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING BEAUTIFUL AND JUST WHAT SHE WANTED IT TO BE!

    A++ Catering for Cape Cod Wedding!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Casual Gourmet. Casual Gourmet has an absolute rockstar team who helped me not only provide the best meal for my wedding (all of my 80+ guests said it was the best wedding meal they have ever had) but they were also amazing communicators with all my vendors. I had no stress leading up to the wedding or on the day of because of their expertise. One thing that really stood out to me on wedding day was that they set aside the passed apps at my table seat and saved me signature cocktails knowing that I wouldn't have time to eat or drink with all the craziness on wedding day. Thank you again Casual Gourmet - Olive, Mary, Ellen & Deb - you are all the BEST and made my wedding day so perfect.

    Outstanding food and service

    Superlative and perfection are words that come to mind when describing our experience with Casual Gourmet! Planning the menu was easy for a wedding in which we needed to accommodate individuals with gluten allergies, guests who were vegetarians, and children. Ellen was helpful in guiding us throughout the planning and a bonus was her outstanding orchestration of the event at the rehearsal and the wedding. The food was cooked to perfection and the staff were accommodating, flexible, professional and friendly. Ellen and the staff contributed to making the day stress free and we couldn’t have been happier that we chose Casual Gourmet. A big thanks to all who worked to make the day a perfect one for all!

    Absolutely Fabulous

    Olive and Ellen were incredible to work with. From the get go, it was clear that Olive was a seasoned professional. She had catered many weddings at our wedding venue, and truthfully helped us outline the entire timeline of our wedding day, which was incredibly helpful. We loved working with her to create a menu that our guests would love, and our taste testing before COVID was so much fun and delicious. It was so hard to decide what to serve at our wedding because everything was just that good. Despite having to postpone our party several times due to COVID, Olive and Ellen were supportive, patient, and great communicators, and they were determined to make our October party our dream come true. The food at the reception was absolutely delicious – from the passed appetizers (lamb lollipops, mac n’ cheese tartlets, lobster rolls to name a few) to the entrees (sliced sirloin and panko haddock) to our incredible funfetti / marble wedding cake. Our guests are still raving about the food. The drinks were fabulous. The servers were absolute professionals. Carolyn, our day of coordinator made sure our wedding day was smooth in its entirety. Thank you, Casual Gourmet for helping make our wedding day an absolute dream come true.

    Very organized, friendly, professional rockstars

    Everyone at Casual Gourmet was incredibly kind, accommodating and helpful with the chaotic planning and postponements of a pandemic wedding. Trying to plan a wedding and coordinating everything while being an out-of-state bride was also incredibly stressful, but everything to do with Casual Gourmet was made so easy with tons of communication. The day of the wedding turned out perfect, and having someone help coordinate everything was a huge weight off myself and my husband. Can't recommend them enough.

    Julie White Bowen (bride)

    We heard consistently from many of our guests that our wedding was the best wedding they ever attended. That, in part, was because of venue and 9-piece band, but Casual Gourmet was absolutely outstanding and a huge part of that compliment. We had a few “foodies” in the crowd who thought all the food was excellent and, as you know, this isn’t always the case. Between the delicious passed apps that were so original, the raw bar and the exquisite buffet, guests were amazed at the presentation and quality of food. Absolutely delicious!! We worked closely with Mary and she was amazing, detail oriented and always readily available. We plan to celebrate with them again at our first year anniversary by having another big “bash”. Thank you Casual Gourmet!! You’re voted best for a reason.

    Casual Gourmet is fantastic!!

    My husband and I worked with the Casual Gourmet for our wedding in September in Wellfleet and could not recommend them enough! When planning our event, food was one of the most important things to us... we love to eat and wanted to provide our guests with a high quality, elevated, delicious meal that also felt very "Cape Cod." The Casual Gourmet team was absolutely fantastic to work with. Mary Lyons (Di Renzo) helped with the planning and the tasting and Deb (not sure last name) was our day of planner. They were both so organized, communicative and professional. The service throughout the night was flawless and the food came out hot! We got many compliments and there were LOTS of clean plates. The appetizers were also incredible!! Mini lobster rolls and a raw bar!! We were in heaven. We truly had the best day and Casual Gourmet helped bring our vision to life!
