Catering Review

Gary's was amazing to work with! Food tasted delicious and everyone loved it! We did the BBQ/grilling onsite option and this had to be the best decision. It was all so fresh and everyone was dying for the food after smelling it cook since they walked in. Would highly recommend!

Would highly recommend!

We used Gary’s catering for our wedding and could not be happier! We received so many complements on the food- it was unreal. If you do the summer BBQ menu they actually bring a huge grill and cook your food right there- no heating up any of your meat. Their sides were also fantastic! I highly recommend the garlic bread, tenderloin skewers, and Mac n cheese! The staff were very helpful and professional. 5 Stars!!!!

One Stop Shop!

Gary's Catering was awesome! Their prices are unbeatable, especially for the quality of service. I worked with Tina and she was awesome and so helpful while going over the menu with me and she didn't push anything on me! She just simply told me what they offered, explained everything, gave me options as well as telling me what people usually do for this and that, etc. Their food was AMAZING. All of it, and they even had a veggie burger option for me! The day of my wedding, an employee working by the grill helped me out with my food because i was carrying my dress and it was slightly raining (outdoor wedding). She was so sweet and all of the staff members were great. They have so much more than just food though! Take a look at their website and what all they have to offer. The response time is also VERY good when you're emailing them. Thank you to everyone at Gary's Catering! I would and will recommend you to anyone and everyone that I know!

We are so happy that Gary’s Catering helped us with our wedding! We wanted to do something a little different and they came through. We had the bbq setup with pulled pork, ribs, chicken skewers, and six sides. Everyone was raving about the food all night!!

Fantastic catering company! We all know that the food can make or break a wedding, and Gary's catering definitely made our wedding! Everyone is still coming up to me and telling me how great the food was at our wedding. Our wedding was in a barn and so we had to bring in just about everything ourselves. Before we had even booked, Gary's invited us in for a tasting (up to 6 people!) and we were able to try the entire menu that we were considering. Sherry, the event coordinator, was easy to talk to and very helpful in the planning process. We decided on the barbecue package, where they bring the grill and cook certain items on location. For us, this included BBQ chicken, beef tenderloin skewers, and garlic bread, all of which I highly recommend!! Their pulled pork also got many compliments from our guests. The waitstaff that came with Gary's was excellent: they carried my plate for me as the bride, dismissed the tables to the buffet line, and cleared the tables once our guests were done with dinner. We also rented a tent and water goblets through Gary's. The delivery of the tent, water goblets, and silverware was on time and professional. We were very happy with the service we received from Gary's catering throughout the whole process, planning - wedding day. I would highly recommend Gary's catering for your catering needs!

I am SO glad I chose Gary's Catering to cater my wedding reception. From the first phone call with Sheri, I knew I made a great choice. She was amazing to work with - courteous, professional, prompt, friendly - and she really worked with my budget. Since we lived far away from our reception location, Chef Joseph set up a tasting session outside of their normal business hours to accommodate us. In the days (weeks, months) leading up to the wedding, Sheri continuously checked in on me and accommodated all of my last minute changes and requests with no trouble. We were also able to rent our tables, plates, and silverware from Gary's for a fraction of the cost elsewhere, which saved us both money and hassle.
On the day of, I (as the bride) was hardly able to pay attention to and keep up with everything going on, but the site coordinator made sure that I was well taken care of so I didn't have to worry. She came to me at the head table to carry my plate and walk me through the buffet to select my food. She even frequently checked in on me to see if I needed anything - and by anything I mean she would refill my water (a service I hadn't opted to purchase for the wedding) and even get me drinks from the bar. Their staff even broke the buffet tables down and carried them off the dance floor, which was also a chore I never paid for - they just did it because it needed to be done! I was floored by their professionalism and service.
As far as the food itself, everyone RAVED about it (and still do).

Every single person that attended our wedding said it was the BEST wedding food they have EVER had! I was absolutely amazed at how well everything turned out! We had a June wedding with about 250 guests. The food was awesome & wait staff was awesome. They cleaned up after everyone ate and assisted with ANYTHING to be honest. Testing food went great with Chef Joe and Sherri was great emailing back and forth with all the details I kept throwing her way. We chose the upscale dinner buffet C - it was basil cream chicken breast, beef marsala, six cheese jumbo ravioli with spinch artichoke feta on the side, fresh greenbean almandine, rosemary roasted potatoes, michigan tossed salad & assorted rolls. I'm drooling typing it because it was just THAT GREAT! I highly highly suggest them and ANY catering I book in the future will ALWAYS be through Gary's!!!!!!

They are not the easiest company to get ahold of and get an appointment for a tasting but once that step is done...we fell in love with Gary's. We went to a handful of caterers before we met with Gary's. They only let you sample a small bite and Gary's fills your plate! They want you to get an actual taste of the food you are buying. I told the Chef what I was looking for and he ran with it. We loved him and this company. Sheri was quick getting back to us and letting me know prices. They even let us pay as we went, so the bill was zero months before the wedding. We did a backyard BBQ type food for our barn wedding and people raved about the food! The other vendors called it the best food they'd had at a wedding. People actually ate so much, there wasn't much dancing later in the night because people were so stuffed. I wanted the food and drinks to be memorable...and thanks to Gary's the food was :)
