My wedding was absolutely perfect but I cannot put into words how amazing GARY is!!! I felt like we became friends over the year planning our big day. He gave me all the advice and opinions about my entire wedding LOL he’s professional but also personable which I loved and appreciated. He’s been in the business for years and I could tell he knew what he was talking about. We had a destination wedding so his advice was certainly needed!!! His staff, also amazing and so down to earth. My guests made them laugh, they made my guests laugh:) The food was delicious and would definitely recommend the tuna tacos and pasta station. So yummy! And I can’t end this review without saying how I love Gary’s twang accent :) I appreciate everything they did for our special day! THANK YOUUUU SO MUCH! (ps. I don’t ever leave reviews so that means something, right?!)

Amazing!!!!

I can't begin to tell you how amazing Emerald Coast Catering is! Great response, unavailable food, and just a pleasure to work with. It's always scary to plan a destination event and not knowing anyone or business to turn to. I was blessed to find Gary. He had great options and was very responsive to emails and calls. Let Emerald Coast Catering be your go to if your in Destin or Miramar Beach, FL for an event or just a special dinner on your vacation.

Amazing catering professionals!

Chef Gary and his team were simply amazing! From our initial email consultation all the way through the end of the event, they were knowledgeable, helpful, and true professionals in their expertise! Gary was very responsive and gave great advice for my 50 person wedding. They have so many food options and were very willing to work with us on our wants/needs for our wedding. They helped customize our food and beverage service to create an incredible experience for us and all of our guests- which all of our guests were extremely complimentary of. You will not regret hiring Gary and his wonderful team for your wedding or event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
