We were married in February 2017 and chose to use the Gourmet Kitchen as the caterer for our wedding in Estes Park. We are located in Illinois so we were planning this as a destination event and had limited opportunities to travel to Colorado prior to the event. We reviewed the 4 caterers that the venue allowed and had tastings at each. The Gourmet Kitchen had by far the best food we tasted. That being said, it was their flexibility that ultimiately led us to choose them. Madhoo(Chef and Owner) met with us at our tasting, understood what we were looking for and ended up creating a unique custom menu for us. She accomodated Gluten Free, Vegan, and Dairy Free requirements while still making exceptional food for the majority of the guests without limitations. If you are looking for unique excellent food, then I cannot more strongly recommend The Gourmet Caterer. Another example of their flexibility is that they allowed us to fly in our favorite Ice Cream from Illinois and set up an amazing ice cream bar as part of the event.
The day of the event, Madhoo attended and was extremely attentive. They brought a plate of each of the appetizers and set it at the head table so my wife and I were able to try everything. They also made up several plates of food for us to take back to our room to eat following the event. Madhoo attended us and the guests without being invasive and genuinely seeme to care about making our day amazing.
I would choose The Gourmet Kitchen again in a heartbeat.

Reliable service
The Gourmet Kitchen was nicely organized. The food was delicious. Our courses were herb chicken, mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. Ours was buffet style. Everything was displayed nicely.

Madhoo and her team were incredible. From the first contact, Madhoo was prompt and accommodating. Madhoo took time and care in coming up with a special brunch menu and made as many changes as we asked for without hesitation to help us stay within our budget and keep our overall vision. Our tasting was so incredible we knew we had to have the Gourmet Kitchen for our wedding and rehearsal dinner too (with a greatly appreciated discount for booking both). The food was unique and displayed beautifully to fit the theme of our wedding. The Gourmet Kitchen was the most outstanding vendor of our entire wedding weekend.

We used The Gourmet Kitchen for our wedding and our rehearsal dinner. They offered 50% off the food for the rehearsal dinner since we booked our wedding with them, which was great! Madhoo herself worked both events, and made sure to come talk to me during the events to ask how everything was going, and if we needed anything. The food was great, and they were super flexible with all my (many) changes to the estimates/food choices/numbers throughout the entire process. Vipul was very responsive leading up to the events, and was also very nice in responding to my emails in a timely manner, and answering all my questions. They were very reasonably priced (and I got estimates from ~10 caterers), and were very flexible, customizing the menus to exactly what we wanted. They can make pretty much anything, so you just have to tell them what you have in mind. Definitely recommend them, they will put you at ease on your wedding day knowing they will take care of all the food/bar/service.

In August 2016, my daughter’s wedding and reception was held at Copper Leaf Gardens and Event Center with The Gourmet Kitchen catering the event. One of the reasons we chose The Gourmet Kitchen to cater was because they are housed in the same venue as Copperleaf, where we had ceremony, and reception. As such, our event greatly benefitted from the food being brought up straight from the kitchens, with no transporting between kitchen and venue. As mother of the bride I am so happy we made that decision. Vipul and Madhoo Seth were wonderful to work with. They were flexible in working with us with drink options for guests (and even set aside a particular bottle of wine for the bride). Rather than pushing a particular menu on us, they helped us create the perfect meal for my daughter’s big day. They went so far as to help create a brunch menu for the mid-morning affair that included “build your own” hash brown bar. Everything was cooked perfectly and our guests raved about the food (we highly recommend the bacon-wrapped dates). Additionally, I had the opportunity to peek into the kitchen while delivering the wedding cake (we brought in our own) and was very happy to find a clean kitchen and polite staff. We were delighted with the The Gourmet Kitchen, and absolutely recommend them to future brides (regardless of whether you have your event at Copperleaf or not).

Madhoo and her team were amazing! We want a unique experience that would be remembered. She was willing and excited to do a family style dinner (something most caterers are not up for) and when I said I wanted authentic Chinese food complete with chicken feet, they were all on board. The food was delicious and she always took time to understand what we wanted and even spoke with my grandfather at the wedding. Thank you Madhoo and Gourmet Kitchen! Everyone who attended is still talking about how good the food was.

Madhoo and her staff just helped us host a huge Indian wedding for our daughter. It was a major event and they catered twice for us. One was preplanned and the other was almost unplanned. We were suppose to have the indian wedding at home however due to weather we had to move to Copper Leaf Event Center abruptly. Madhoo and her staff helped us immensely and made every thing just beautiful along with delicious food.
All of our guests were treated with respect and lots of smile. Service was amazing. Food presentation was great as well. I do not have enough words to give praises to The Gourmet Kitchen Management and Staff. Food Indian and western were both amazing.
The care and warmth that went in towards our guests along with planning and executing both events were amazing, we highly recommend Madhu and her team for any event and specially for the important ones as the wedding.

I had the Gourmet Kitchen cater my wedding on July 4th at Hudson Gardens and it was a GREAT success! Kris who was the lead and bartender truly went out of his way multiple times to make sure that we were satisfied and had everything we needed! But here is the part that is truly exceptional. When you are planning a wedding, most of the work is done beforehand. Multiple meetings, time lines, pickup, drop off, and the list goes on. Mahdoo, the owner, made sure that our communication was truly a pleasure. The planning process was fun and I felt very spoiled on our special day due to some of the extras that she made sure were there for my husband and I. When you are picking a caterer the money and the food are very important yes, but equally as important is the customer service you are given. The Gourmet Kitchen excels in all three!

Madhoo and her team were amazing! We found Gourmet Kitchen at a vendor preview at Boettcher Mansion. Immediately, we were impressed. When we contacted Madhoo, she worked with us to create a menu within our price range and arranged a private tasting. We went with prime rib, mashed potatoes, asparagus, pasta primavera, and caesar salad. We loved the food & people at Gourmet Kitchen. Throughout the planning process, I felt like Madhoo went above and beyond. She helped us plan our timeline, room set up, colors, place settings, and decorations. On the day of the event, we were very happy with the service provided. The room was set up beautifully, and the staff were professional. The servers brought my husband and I appetizers while we took pictures. We so appreciated that! We were really hungry by then! We received many comments about the food & saw many people walking back to the buffet for seconds. At the end of our event, we received our full deposit back from the venue, so Gourmet Kitchen must have done a fabulous job cleaning up as well. They even packed up the left overs for us.
In summary, we had a great first impression of Gourmet Kitchen, experienced great service throughout the planning process, and had a great 'day of' experience. I would highly recommend Gourmet Kitchen!

The Gourmet Kitchen was the first catering company we visited. We were so impressed with the food and the price that we sealed the deal that day. Madoo owns and manages the business and she is amazing. I had my wedding at the Evergreen Lake house and they have a small kitchen and a lot of rules to follow on clean up and exact time to be out ect. Madoo was familiar with the venue and told me not to worry about a thing she would take care of it. I needed to make a couple changes throughout the process and everyone at the Gourmet Kitchen were very accommodating. Madoo worked out a payment plan for us that fit our budget and allowed us to give our guest the fantastic dinner we wanted. Leading up to the wedding day she was in touch, ensuring we were on the same page. Madoo always got back to me quickly either through and email or by phone. We used the Gourmet Kitchen for our rehearsal dinner too. All of my family and guests went on about how fantastic the BBQ pulled pork was. The day of the wedding Madoo and her team were there on time and hard at work. My wedding turned out more beautiful then I could have imagined. The food was perfect and the service was spot on. As promised she took care of everything. I give them 5 stars and would recommend them for any event needing amazing food!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
One of my favorite caterers. They can do any cuisine. Their staff service is the best!

Madhoo and her team produce wonderful food, pleasing displays and a personal touch that will make your events feel like a gift of feasting rather than a catered meal.
Gourmet Kitchen does a wonderful job customizing an ethnic menu that many other caterers are unavailable to accommodate. Their spanakopita made from scratch is the best I have ever tasted!
