Excellent catering service

Working with Gance’s was a wonderful experience. It was so easy to make sure we had everything we need especially with dietary restrictions and having everything run smoothly at the event. I even had guests with dietary restrictions come up to me and explain how they felt very cared for with members of the teams making sure they had options for deserts and that their meal was safe for them. I would definitely recommend working with Gance’s and all of the food was delicious as guests could not say enough about how good it was.

10/10. Loree is amazing.

If I could give Loree and her catering company 10 stars I would. My husband and I feel so thankful that Gances showed up and showed out on our wedding day. Every detail was so well thought out, the look was everything, and our guests cannot stop talking about the kindness of the staff - and the FOOD! We cannot recommend Gances enough.

Highly Recommend Gance’s!

Gance’s Complete Catering was recommended to us by our wedding venue, and we are so glad we chose them! From the beginning, Loree was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and patient with all the questions my mom and I had throughout the planning process! She was always happy to help, whether it was coordinating linens, making adjustments, or even sending pictures of previous setups to help us envision our options. We also really appreciated having a tasting beforehand to help us make our decisions.

We opted for all action stations rather than a traditional plated dinner, and it was one of our favorite decisions! We had a mac and cheese bar, mashed potato bar, salad bar, and prime rib carving station. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the prime rib! Our guests loved the unique setup and being able to customize their meals with different toppings and choose from a variety of options. There was plenty of food for everyone, and the stations were a great way to accommodate different preferences. We also had a harvest table during cocktail hour that our guests raved about!

The service on our wedding day was just as impressive as the food. The staff was incredibly attentive, frequently checking on us and our wedding party to make sure we had everything we needed. They handled everything from clearing tables to packing up leftovers, and worked seamlessly with our venue to keep everything running smoothly. We never had to worry about a thing!

We couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The food, service, flexibility, and attention to detail were all fantastic. Gance’s truly helped make our wedding day so special, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning an event!

BEST Vendor for weddings!!

Gances & Loree were an absolute pleasure to work with. From our very first day meeting her at our tasting, she worked with us every step of the way to plan the catering for our wedding. She answered all my questions and coordinated/handled everything day of so I wouldn’t have to lift a finger. The food was delicious. What really stood out: the staff. The kindest people who worked effortlessly all night to make sure our guests were fed and drinking. Loree was there to trouble shoot every step of the way and even sent someone out to get ice in the middle of the wedding when we ran out (because I underestimated what we’d need). This was a no brainer decision for us and I hope to use them again for any future events in the area!

Catering needs

We have had Gance here at our venue to cater several different times. The staff is pleasant. The food looks delicious. they come in very professional and all our brides and groom seem to be very happy.. They are approximately one hour away from our venue which works out well for them and us. They do a great job as far as cleaning up and setting up.

Loree and her team helped to make our day perfect!!

From the first time I spoke with Loree, I could immediately tell she was professional, creative, sharp and organized! She covered every detail and made our day beautiful and delicious with a relaxed attitude that let me relax and know she had it covered. From the signature cocktail, perfect finger food for our cocktail hour, pristine service at our served lunch and the most beautiful petite desert table, everything was perfect!! We highly recommend Gance’s and appreciate how they made our day so special! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’d hire them 100 times if I could

Everything about Gance’s was amazing from start to finish. Loree was extremely patient and accommodating to not only my, but every guests dietary/allergy needs. We had multiple meetings regarding this and she made sure everything was perfect. The day of, the staff was amazing. So tentative and friendly. We had our nanny up at our Airbnb on property. I asked them to bring her a plate for cocktail hour. Not only did they find me and confirm they brought it up to her, they brought her dinner before I even had to ask. Everyone congratulated us on getting married and they were just so nice. I cant rave enough about how great they all were. I want to have 100 weddings just so I can hire them every time
