Dynamite!

Where do I start?! The food was magical, the service was exceptional! What more do you want from your caterer? They were so accommodating during the covid crisis and lovely to work with. If you know Garces, you know you can’t go wrong with their food. The service at the wedding was top notch. I never had an empty glass and they even brought us oysters from the cocktail hour since we didn’t get a chance to enjoy them there. If you’re lucky enough to have picked a venue with the option to have Garces catering….choose them! You and your guests won’t be let down!

Parrish / Bush Wedding 9/5/20

I chose Garces Catering for my daughter's wedding. Garces food is high quality and prepared perfectly. Simply delicious I worked with Claire , who is an absolute delight. She is full of energy and goes beyond the basics of making your dinner experience special. The Garces staff is highly professional and recommend Garces COMPLETELY

Incredibly delicious!

Claire and the Garces team were great to work with throughout the wedding planning process. We didn't do a traditional sit down dinner but wanted our guests to have the opportunity to try lots of Garces cuisines. We've received lots of feedback about how incredible the taco station (especially endless guacamole), paella station, and slider station were from our guests. Our guests also said they couldn't stop eating the passed appetizers during cocktail hour as every one of them were delicious. The servers were all super friendly and the bartenders kept the signature drink going all night long. Our only complaint was the lack of attention Garces paid to bride and groom during the reception. As part of our package, we were told we were going to have an assigned server that was focused specifically on us during the evening to help make sure we were brought plates of food and drinks; however, that never happened.
