Look no further when searching for a caterer, Coastal Gourmet is hands down one of the best wedding decision you can make. Let me start by saying that we got married 08.14.22 at Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington CT. When you book Saltwater you have the choice of working with one of three caterers. We met with all of them and were immediately drawn to Coastal - more importantly to Jenna. From the moment with met with Jenna she made us feel immediately comfortable and we felt confident we were in the right hands. Jenna is VERY detailed, she asked us questions we hadn’t thought of, gave us options we didn’t think were possible, and talked us through everything – seriously EVERYTHING – we could possibly need. We got engaged in 2020 and had a long engagement. She kept in contact with us periodically, checked in when big decisions needed to be made, and was ALWAYS available with any question we had. When our wedding weekend finally came and we had our rehearsal, our decision to book with Jenna and Costal was even more apparent when we got a glimpse of how Jenna would conduct the day and control the flow – she made it look effortless while being incredibly efficient. On our wedding day I cannot stress how impressed we were. Jenna had the decorations for our venue set-up with pristine accuracy, we had very detailed décor and she somehow made it even more beautiful than we could have imagined. Every single server, bartender, attendant, chef, and employee we met was friendly, helpful, and always appeared to be one step ahead. Jenna and the Coastal team were a huge part of what made our day magic and we wouldn’t have had the happiest day of our lives without them. Thank you so much Jenna. Thank you so much Coastal. We will forever love you!

We chose costal gourmet for our wedding at saltwater farm vineyard. They were absolutely amazing. The food and drinks were out of this world. Jenna was an absolute pleasure to work with, she was very responsive, professional and her attention to detail is impeccable. Our wedding day ran so smooth because of her and the staff! I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding!

Coastal Gourmet was an absolute pleasure to work with when planning our wedding. In particular, Jenna Landon is an incredible coordinator who is detail oriented, flexible, and professional. We knew that we could fully trust Jenna to get any task or tiny logistic accounted for so that our special day would go off without a hitch!

Coastal Gourmet has so many options from appetizers, entrees, and displays that they can accommodate a variety of palates. The food and drinks were delicious and our guests are still complimenting how good everything was weeks later. The staff was professional as well ensuring that appetizers and drinks were consistently in our guests' hands.

We couldn't thank Jenna and the staff of Coastal Gourmet enough for helping to put together a reception that we will remember for a lifetime!

After months of researching caterers, comparing quotes, and learning the ins and outs of wedding budgets, I can confidently say choosing Coastal Gourmet Catering was one of the best decisions we made. The food was absolutely the best—people are still talking about it. Jenna is absolutely incredible—responsive, knowledgeable, creative, and attentive from start to finish. She helped us create the perfect menu, offered thoughtful guidance throughout the planning process, and made our wedding day run seamlessly. She also handled all of the setup and cleanup of our décor at a venue with both indoor and outdoor spaces, and somehow brought the whole space together from nothing into something truly stunning, allowing us to enjoy the day without worrying about a thing. Jenna always has a plan B, even though she doesn’t always have to use it. We couldn’t have asked for a better catering team and would recommend Coastal Gourmet to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

We are incredibly happy that we chose Coastal Gourmet as our caterer at Branford House, and we absolutely could not have pulled off our wedding without Jenna as our day-of coordinator!

Planning a wedding comes with so many different and intimidating choices. Early on, it felt like there were a million decisions to make, but Jenna stepped in and expertly wrangled all those moving parts together. She was extremely responsive throughout the planning process, helping us navigate all the options and turn our ideas into a plan that set the stage for a truly great wedding day. Jenna was both flexible in accommodating our ideas, while also sharing her experience and recommendations to guide us on decisions where we would have been otherwise lost. And even when we hit her with a few inevitable last-minute changes, she made it all work with ease!

On the catering side, Coastal Gourmet completely delivered. The food was absolutely delicious (definitely recommend trying the short rib and stuffed sole), and the service from the entire staff was excellent. They were attentive, professional, and made sure all our guests were well taken care of throughout the night.

But what really made the experience so perfect was Jenna's execution on the day itself. She took total charge of the vendor logistics while running point on everything from the big moments to the little details, organizing the ceremony rehearsal right down to queuing up our grand entrances.

We also loved our bridal attendant Barbara, who made sure we received drinks and were fed when we needed a break post-ceremony. She also boxed everything up at the end of the night, for an easy, quick clean up!

Managing the biggest party we will ever throw could have been incredibly stressful, but Jenna and the Coastal Gourmet team helped take the weight off our shoulders. Because we knew she had every detail covered, we were able to just let go, focus on ourselves, and actually enjoy the moment.

If you want fantastic food and an expert day-of coordinator, we highly recommend booking Coastal Gourmet and working with Jenna!

We cannot recommend Coastal Gourmet highly enough! From the very beginning, they were incredibly flexible and so willing to work with us to bring our exact vision to life. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and their team went above and beyond to make sure everything felt personal and seamless.
Somehow, the food was even more delicious on our wedding day than it was at the tasting (which we didn’t think was possible!).
Our wedding planner and her amazing team were attentive, kind, and always one step ahead, making sure everything flowed perfectly. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience—Coastal Gourmet exceeded every expectation and made our day unforgettable.

We had a great time working with Jenna and the Coastal Gourmet team. They were attentive, had amazing service, and great food (not easy at weddings!). Thank you!

We couldn't have asked for a better caterer and coordinator than Coastal Gourmet and Jenna. From day one, Jenna was organized, attentive, and went above and beyond to cover every detail, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.

On the wedding day, her coordination was flawless—everything ran seamlessly behind the scenes, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment. Her warmth and genuine care made it feel like she was celebrating with us, not just managing the event. The entire Coastal team was outstanding, from the stunning setup to the top-notch food and drink service. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was- the mini lobster rolls and hot chicken sliders were some of the fan favorites! We are so grateful for everything Jenna and the entire Coastal team did to make our day perfect and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.

Jenna & her team were so professional and organized in pulling off such a beautiful wedding for us. The service and attention to detail was far beyond expectations and, while we were super impressed, our families and our guests had many great things to say as well! We could not have made a better choice working with Jenna & her team to manage our day. We’re forever grateful for her! She did a fantastic job working around our budget, our menu, and coordinating vendors to make our day perfect for us. If you are considering choosing Coastal Gourmet for your wedding or event, you can’t go wrong with them!

We had an incredible wedding at the Branford House and a huge reason for that was because of Jenna and everyone at Coastal Gourmet. From our initial intro call (which was way more detail oriented than any other catering company I spoke to) to our tasting and meetings leading up to the big day, I was so confident in Jenna’s ability to execute our vision as we imagined. All of her suggestions and recommendations in terms of our menu, rentals, and timeline were so spot on – I think she knew what I wanted before I even did! She was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and someone I was so glad to have in our corner.

The week leading up to our wedding, the forecast was predicting rain and very cold weather for June, and Jenna made sure (before we even asked) that there were multiple options for rain plans, she had already reached out to someone for heaters for our tent, etc. We were luckily able to wait until close to the ceremony to make the call to have it outside, and Jenna had everything ready to go – I didn’t have to worry about anything. After the ceremony (which went perfectly) she had cocktails waiting for us and even bustled my complicated dress.

We also had an amazing bridal attendant, Britt, who made sure we were well fed and had a drink in our hand the whole night (she was even ducking in and out of the dance floor to get us cocktails!) We received so many compliments on the food and service for the night – the timeline was executed flawlessly. If you are looking for great food, fantastic service, and an amazing team that goes above + beyond for your wedding, I highly recommend Coastal Gourmet!
