Delicious Food and an Unforgettable Experience

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Gourmet Catering for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. The tasting was so much fun, and we were blown away by the flavors—every dish was better than the last, and it was clear that the team puts so much care into what they do. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, and our waitstaff made such a positive impression on both us and our guests. They were not only kind but also attentive, ensuring everyone was well taken care of throughout the evening. The food itself was nothing short of delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the meal was, and we are so grateful to Gourmet Catering for helping to make our wedding celebration truly unforgettable.

A+ service and food!

We couldn't be happier with Gourmet Caterers! Though the choice was locked in because they were the exclusive vendor for our wedding venue, the Peabody Essex Museum, the fact that those two work together all the time made things effortless. The whole process, working with Anne and Isa, was transparent from start to finish, and they really helped us figure out what options would work best for culinary and budget needs. They were also creative in helping put together our ideas, especially how we were trying to add some of our cultural elements to the signature cocktails and such. The food options are unique and tasty. We definitely knew it was going to be great when we were at the tasting. All of the items we chose to taste were excellent. How rare is that!? There was also a high level of attention to detail in terms of some of our guests’ dietary restrictions/allergies. They were super attentive during the wedding, and our personal attendant made sure we always had our food and drinks handy so that we could easily eat and see to our guests and such. Our guests were very happy with the food, and several of them raved about the chicken, since they said it's so easy for chicken to be dry, but not in this case! Thank you for helping make our celebration that much more special!

"Best Dinner At A Wedding I Have Ever Had!"

We were so lucky that Gourmet was the exclusive caterer at our venue. They were easy to work with and our guests said they have never had a better dinner at a wedding! They took all our requests and preferences very seriously and we really appreciated that.

Incredible Food, Terrific People!

Every bite at our wedding - from hors d'oeuvres to main courses to desserts - was absolutely delicious thanks to Gourmet Caterers! Their entire staff - especially Ann, who coordinated with us - were absolute professionals and experts at the timing and logistics of a larger wedding. They were extra attentive to every detail on the wedding day (including being extra attentive that the bride and groom always had a drink or dessert if they needed one)! The only difficult part of working with Gourmet Caterers is the wait between the tasting and the wedding when all you want to do is eat their scrumptious food!

Gourmet Caterers - 5/5, Best Caterers in New England!

Gourmet Caterers, where do I start? From the moment we began working with you for our wedding, you showed nothing but professionalism and high quality service. You made our wedding food tasting experience a day to remember, and the food we served at our wedding was the best wedding food I'd ever had! Our guests all came up to us saying they often had low expectations for wedding food, but everything from the appetizers to our meal was amazing! Also, the chocolate button cakes from Gourmet are incredible- we had guests fighting over them!

The best ever!

My husband and I were one of the many couples who were forced to postpone our July 2020 wedding for a year. As our July 2021 date was quickly approaching, the COVID restrictions in the city of Boston were not easing up, therefore we made the tough decision to switch our venue three months before our wedding date. I was uneasy (okay, totally terrified) with the idea of re-planning our entire wedding, however, my worries vanished the minute I got off the phone with Jeanne. Jeanne was extremely accommodating to our tight timeline and ensured that my parents, who live out of town, were involved with every step of the process. Jeanne and her team were professional, responsive and so incredibly supportive throughout our entire planning process and event. We relied heavily on Jeanne’s industry knowledge to help plan every detail of the event. Gourmet’s standards are top notch, therefore we were completely at ease the day of our wedding, knowing that every guest was given the white glove treatment. In addition to the quality service, the food was DELICIOUS! Jeanne worked with us to customize a menu that was out of this world! The variety of hors d'oeuvres was plentiful and ensured every guest would be satisfied (even those picky eaters!) The main course was a meal I am still dreaming about! Our guests could not stop raving about how the meals were not the typical “wedding meals”, but rather entrees that could be served at a 5-star restaurant. I could truly go on and on about how wonderful it was to work with Jeanne and the staff at Gourmet Caterers. Choosing Gourmet Caterers was hands-down the best decision we made, I truly can not recommend enough! Thank you for making our day absolutely perfect!

The best!!!

Gourmet Caterers catered our wedding at the JFK Presidential Library in September 2019. They were incredible every step of the way, and Courtney was amazing at coordinating even the finest details to ensure we had our dream wedding. She was so helpful throughout our wedding planning process and the team was always willing to provide advice on anything wedding related…from the food, to recommending excellent vendors (lighting, music, rentals, and more!), they are true experts. Jeanne and Courtney helped us create a great menu for our wedding, and the food and service was amazing. The team made sure that come our wedding day, we were able to sit back and relax, just focusing on family/friends and celebrating! We can't thank Courtney and co enough and would recommend them to anyone considering them for their wedding or any event. THANK YOU Gourmet!!!

Gourmet was perfect!

Gourmet was *awesome* to work with. We were late in planning and felt like we were on a super short timeline, but Courtney, Jeanne, and the rest of the team assured us everything would be fine and we wouldn't have to worry about a thing. True to their word, everything went off without a hitch. The guests raved about the food (including a pair of people who had a number of dietary restrictions who said it was the best they've ever been taken care of) and we got to enjoy the day to its fullest.

They were proactive in planning, incorporated our feedback, and helped out in countless unexpected ways. It was truly a joy to work with them!

Love Gourmet - Highly recommend to all!

Gourmet Caterers catered our wedding at the Artists for Humanity Epicenter in February 2020. They were incredible every step of the way. From the first call I had with Jeanne I hoped we would be able to work together. She was so helpful throughout our wedding planning process, she even went out of her way to suggest a wedding venue that might fit our budget better. Gourmet is really so much more than a catering company, Jeanne and her team were always willing to provide guidance on anything wedding related - from the band we chose to the seating layout to the flow of the overall event. They are experts in their field and know everyone in the Boston wedding circuit. They helped us design a great menu for our wedding, and the food and service was exceptional. We loved the menu tasting at their offices a few months before the wedding, and had so many guests comment on how great the food was at our wedding. We felt relaxed on our wedding day knowing that they had everything under control! We can't thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone considering them for their wedding or any event. I hope to be a guest at a Gourmet wedding in the future so I can experience this all again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
