    Super Friendly & Flexible

    We booked Gooseberries for our wedding in Burlington, WI. They were absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire process and incredibly prompt with any questions we had. The food was excellent, the staff was phenomenal, and the price was great. We especially appreciated their flexibility since our wedding was delayed due to COVID and they actively worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. For example, we wanted to have Kopps custard at our wedding and they offered to store it in their freezers and serve it so we'd have one less thing to worry about on the wedding day!

    Excellent!

    We got our wedding cake from Gooseberries. We tried four flavors and were surprised that our favorite was the "Sweet Caramel" flavor. We did a three tier cake with flowers on it. I was able to send Gooseberries pictures of designs I liked from online as well as information about my flowers and they truly did an excellent job putting it all together! Everyone said oru cake was delicious!

    Delicious catering!

    Catering was never of huge importance to me. Of course, we wanted good food, but we wanted to create a fun and beautiful experience above everything else. Gooseberries was the cherry on top - the food was incredible!! Our guests were raving about how delicious it all was. Even the donuts were top notch. They are also so reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

    So many compliments!

    Gooseberries did an amazing job! We got so many compliments on our food and desserts! The staff was professional and accommodating. I wish we would have gotten the name of the woman in charge. She did a fantastic job and our contact Luanne kept us informed and on task.

    We purchased our centerpiece cakes, wedding cake, and grooms cake from Gooseberries bakery. We were able to try multiple flavors and then add extras for a nominal fee but well worth it. We cake tasted early in the wedding planning process and drooled over our choices for the next nine months. We were even able to provide a gluten/dairy free cupcake option for our guests so those unable to enjoy the other cakes could still partake in the celebration. They were willing to work with us as we needed to rent 26 cake stands for each table. Set up went smoothly with each table having a specific cake assigned to it and we had no issues at all. Cake boxes were even provided for the leftovers. We couldn't save our cake because it was too delicious but are looking forward to our first anniversary to order another.

    We got our wedding cake and some cupcakes for the dessert bar from Gooseberries. Their cake pricing was super reasonable especially for the simple cake that we wanted. Their delivery fee is also so reasonable. Their cake is super moist and delicious- I bet it will even taste good out of the freezer in a year! I highly recommend the Grand Marnier. Thanks Gooseberries- you are the best!!!

    Gooseberries supplied our food, flowers, and cake for our wedding. The food was delicious and got many compliments and Chef Mike helped us hand pick our stations. Cake was amazing also! They were very accommodating when it came to flowers as well. I DIY'd my centerpieces and they were so helpful when it came to figuring all of that out. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in Wisconsin!

    Now a day, there are endless options for catering services, but there is no comparison to the products and services offered by Gooseberries/Courtyard Catering. As a family-owned and operated company, they not only go above and beyond to accommodate your event, but they make you feel like family. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about the food! We’ve had Courtyard Catering several times and have never been disappointed so when it came time to plan our wedding, it was a no brainer to hire them! They allowed us to build our own delicious menu, while respecting our budget. Chef Mike and Doreen were honest, professional, and patient with me (the bride), as I regularly emailed them with questions, and they always answered in a timely manner. On the day of the wedding, they were prompt, organized, and neat. The staff was friendly and polite, assuring that each guest was well fed, even those with diet restrictions. Prior to leaving, they checked with my husband and I, to make sure there was nothing else they could do, and gave us hugs as they left. We had a wonderful experience and would recommend Gooseberries/Courtyard Catering to anyone hosting an event, no matter the size! Thank you Chef Mike, Doreen, and the Spiegelhoff Family for making our wedding day unforgettable! Love Always- The Ledgers

    Chef Mike and his staff were exceptional. Over the top and absolutely nailed it. Our guests could not stop talking about the food. Chef Mike was extremely helpful during the entire process in helping us make selections and pull everything together. His recommendations for a few other vendors also worked out great. We had a little intermittent rain early on and the staff was very flexible in setup and handled it without people really even knowing. I would absolutely recommend Courtyard Catering without hesitation.

    We hired Gooseberries as a caterer for our wedding, and they were absolutely amazing! Lauren was wonderful to work with, along with the head Chef who I spoke to personnally to customize our menu. The prices were great, and they were willing to work with us to provide exactly what we were looking for. They also provided the desserts and cake, and even had our linens ordered through an outside company (which was nice to minimize vendors/contracts). We had so many compliments on how good the food was! I think that the brisket was the best I had ever had, just perfect. The presentation also surprised me. We had chosen a buffet style, and the way they had arranged everything was beautiful. All of the staff on the day of were very professional, courteous, and prompt. Thank you to Lauren and Gooseberries for contributing to our perfect day!!!!!

    We used Gooseberries for our cocktail hour on the Lake Geneva Cruise Line for our wedding. Our guests are still raving about the food, especially the bloody mary shrimp shots! All of the food was delicious! Thank you for helping our day turn out perfectly!

    Courtyard Catering/Gooseberries did a phenomenal job catering our wedding on 10-25-14 at the Veteran's Terrace in Burlington, WI. Working with Chef Mike and Doreen was a great experience and I highly would recommend them to friends and family. People loved the food and the passed appetizers were a HUGE hit. The cake was beautiful and tasted even better. The staff was so friendly and kind. Any special requests were executed perfectly! Doreen even slipped a Wedding Card into our card box which was a sweet surprise when opening our gifts.

    They were incredible; you can tell they are a well oiled machine. Very professional and knowledgeable. Chef Mike was personable and his food was delicious! Everyone raved about his pasta casserole with mushrooms and leeks. We chose to go with a pig roast and pies- both did not disappoint and were so tasty. Definitely would recommend!

    Our cake was EXACTLY what I had envisioned it to look like, and tasted amazing. We had two flavors, both equally delicious. Gooseberries had several different flavors to choose from and we're so happy we ended up deciding on two very different flavors: a chocolate cake with peanut butter infused buttercream frosting and a white cake with fresh strawberries and a grand marnier infused buttercream frosting. Such extravagant selections, yet the cake taksted so light and moist. We would recommend Gooseberries to anyone looking for a wedding cake or a cake for a special event and will definitely use them in the future.

    Gooseberries (Courtyard Catering)—Mike, if you were on the Green Bay Packers, you would be the Aaron Rodgers of wedding caterers. Your service throughout this whole process was top notch. From driving to the Riviera with us to help with our layout, to serving me a ton of different kinds of chicken until it was just right, to the wonders of the brat and a shot appetizer, you blew me away. I’ll never figure out how you serve around 300 people, on schedule, with hot food, and make it look so seamless, but I’m so grateful to you and your staff. What a knack you have for food combinations, for customer service, and for making every little need we had a reality. Thank you!

    All the people at Gooseberries were amazing! The lady I talked to the most was Trish (I don't know about spelling) and she was amazing. Really gave me some good combinations to try and they had so much to offer...yellow cake, white cake, chocolate cake, fresh strawberries, raspberry jam, supreme cream, real buttercream frosting, etc. I tried other bakeries in the area and had tastings....trust me nothing is even close when it comes to the taste or quality than these guys!!!! They were absolutely amazing!!!

    Easy, beautiful, delicious and stress free! This was, by far, the easiest part of the planning process. Gooseberries had great recommendations and delivered a BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS product true to our vision. They were flexible with tasting times and helped us estimate how much cake we needed.

    Gooseberries did an outstanding job with our wedding cakes. They offered a wide variety of cake combinations that we had to order all the specialty cakes they offered and put one on each of our guest tables. Our guest absolutely loved it! They spent the evening trying different cakes and there was nothing left over to worry about taking home.

    Gooseberries floral did an outstanding job with our Bouquets, Boutonnieres and Corsages for out wedding. The staff was wonderful to work with during the consultation and were up front and honest about the cost of flowers. They were so knowledgeable about all flowers they could recommend alternatives if you had a budget to keep. The service the provided our wedding day was wonderful and full of smiles as they pinned all the Boutonnieres and handed out all the Bouquets and Corsages to the parents and wedding party.
