Everyone raved about the food!

Sissy, was super easy to deal with, very responsive. Several members of the party have gluten issues and food allergies. Sissy went out of the way to ensure everyone had something good to eat. The servers were super nice and the presentation was beautiful. After the wedding, everyone was asking who the caterer was because the food was so good. we had pork loin and it was fantastic! I would recommend this caterer for any event, food is delicious.

Wedding Vendor

Working with Ghent Sandwich Shop for my May 2024 wedding was one of the best decisions I made for the entire event. Sissy was my point of contact and she was responsive, clear in communication and beyond sweet. Both cocktail hour and dinner service exceeded expectations and people are still talking about the cheeseburger skewers and pot roast!! I would 10/10 recommend and will keep them in mind for future events.

Summer wedding perfect bites

I’m a planner and have had the extreme pleasure of working with this crew on a supremely hot day that caught most of us off guard for the month it was in. Their team was punctual, extremely flexible as we had to shifts times and supremely pleasant and accommodating. I don’t typically eat when I plan but the food was tremendous and I had to try! Any weddings sharee with them is an automatic win in my book!

Sweet, kind, fun to work with!

Sissy and her husband Greg were professional, courteous, and timely in their responses. They know what they’re doing, and they put me at ease every step of the way. The food was delicious and they did an awesome job serving us and our guests. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone at an amazing price! Wonderful people.

PHENOMENAL Experience with Ghent Sandwich Shop!

Ghent Sandwich Shop was a PHENOMENAL caterer for our wedding celebration! Sissy and I worked together across the months leading up to the wedding to finalize food options and scheduling - she made the entire process so easy and customized to our needs! The crew showed up early and set up quickly, provided top-notch service (everyone there was so kind and supportive), and provided incredible food that accommodated all of our guests’ dietary needs. They provided all linens, plates and cutlery, and cups (all matching our wedding colors), and made the most adorable cake pops for dessert that matched our wedding theme! They packed up and left in a stealthy manner that didn’t disrupt the flow of the party - I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for event catering in the Crystal Coast area!

Ghent Crew Rocks!

We couldn’t have asked or hoped for a more amazing display! We weren’t sure exactly what we wanted for hors d’oeuvres but Sandra was patient and helpful in selecting an inclusive selection for all! We can’t say enough about the quality, service, and presentation Ghent provided us with! Words just don’t do it Justice!

Enjoyable !

Our church enjoyed working with The Ghent for a recent wedding. Not only was the food delicious, but the friendliness of the staff was very refreshing! Our church was left just as they found it, clean and organized! Highly recommend!
