The Guests LOVED them!

Maria was such a wonderful and helpful caterer!! My guests kept coming up to us during the reception to say how amazing the food was. And I couldn't agree more. It was that good! They have so many food options to choose from, and Maria made sure we had a balanced menu for our guests. What you need from any vendor is great communication, guidance, and advice. I got that all from them 🙂 Everyone from this business made my reception absolutely perfect.

Maria is wonderful!

I worked with Maria via email to set up a menu for our reception. She was super responsive, accommodating, very kind and helpful, and answered all of my million questions. Unfortunately, we ended up having to change our venue because our guest count became too large for the space, and we ended up using a restaurant to make things easier. Ultimately, I wasn't able to use Innovative Gourmet. However, I know it would have been a great experience with them, based on previous reviews I've read and how wonderful Maria was to work with! I highly recommend!! We will definitely use them in the future for any catering needs!

Delicious Food and Kind People to Work With

I loved working with Kim and Maria from day one! Kim answered the phone, and we started chatting like were best friends! From there on, every time we came in, she always made us feel like were here only priority. She helped us sort things during a chaotic time (planning a wedding in a pandemic) and always offered honest opinions when I asked. Maria helped to set up the day of, and while I didn't get to work as much with her directly, everyone who did said how hard she worked and problem solved! Thank you both!

The food was amazing! My guests are still talking about the passed appetizers. We got the Kona Crusted Bistro Loin: Filet of beef, rubbed with fresh tarragon, rosemary, olive oil, and cracked peppercorns, drizzled with creamy horse radish sauce and the Cod Mare Chiaro: Red and yellow cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, capers, parsley, and fresh lemon, and we would be happy to order either in a restaurant for dinner.
