Delicious and Flexible

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the services of a wedding catering company that truly stood out from the rest - the epitome of flexibility and excellence. From the moment I contacted them to the last bite of dessert, their commitment to accommodating our unique preferences and needs was unparalleled.

Amazing Catering Company!

I have only GREAT things to say about Frugal Gourmet Catering!! Aleta and her team catered my daughters wedding this past weekend at Sugar Hollow Retreat. From the initial tasting, everything in between , to the actual reception was "OVER the TOP"!!! All the guest raved about all of the food. Aleta was great, Val, Laural and girls were great! The Food was Amazing!!. I am so very thankful and humbled at the preparation, thought and care that they put fourth in their services, the food, the dessert table, the wedding cake to the table settings. I highly recommend Frugal Gourmet !!!

Frugal Gourmet was absolutely amazing!!

Frugal was amazing! The food was so good, especially the mashed potato bar! (I’m vegetarian) The desserts were super tasty as well including the cake which was a cannoli raspberry swirl cake and lots of other desserts like a raspberry tart and carrot cake. Aleta was super easy to work with, very responsive and professional. Her staff was great that served at our wedding. They were there on time and made me (mother of the bride) feel completely at ease. Thanks so much Frugal Gourmet!! Would definitely hire them again!!
