Bischoff Wedding at Powel Crosley

We had our wedding on October 5th at Powel Crosley and I can’t say enough how great Becky and her team were. The food was delicious! Becky was amazing to work with throughout the whole planning process and was very thorough in answering any questions that came her way. Her team ensured for a seamless dinner experience. I would highly recommend booking Simply Gourmet for your wedding!

Simply the Best - Made Magic Happen

We used Simply Gourmet as our wedding caterer at Powel Crosley Estate in September of 2024. Dealing with Becky and her team was seamless and made the entire experience straight forward and easy. Despite the challenges posed by Hurricane Helene, which passed through the area the day before our wedding, the team went above and beyond to ensure the day was nothing short of perfect.
The food and beverage services were excellent all the way from the hors d'oeuvres through the main course to the cocktails. Each dish was absolutely delicious and a hit with all of our guests. We can't thank the team enough for their help and dedication in making our wedding so great!

Best Catering company in Sarasota!!!!

When I booked my wedding venue at Mote, I did not know that I would have to choose from their suggested vendors. However, there is a reason why Simply Gourmet is a suggested vendor for Mote. They were so easy to work with! Becky was very responsive to my emails and inquiries and I was never nervous or uneasy throughout the entire process, especially being a destination wedding bride. We flew down over the summer for their grand tasting and after tasting the food, it only confirmed we knew we had made the right choice. Becky, gave us great suggestions for food that worked into both what we were looking for in our reception meal that also was within our budget. Even our family and friends are still talking about how amazing the food was! If I could give more than 5 stars I would hands down! Thank you for making our day amazing! Also, a huge thank you to Carlos for indulging us and wearing a shark onsie while bartending.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Jam Band The Jam Band Wedding Bands

"My name is Jam, CEO of The Jam Band, and I had the pleasure working along side Becky and her staff at Simply Gourmet Catering on a wedding at The Ringling Museum in Sarasota. From my initial interaction with Becky, to the end of the event, she was a pleasure to work with. Becky catered to the band's needs and did so with ease even though she was consumed with keeping the bride happy and running the event smoothly. The food was delicious and the overall presentation was spot on. I was super impressed with her and her staff as she remained calm throughout and did not micromanage. You rarely run into event planners who can run an event as gracefully as she did. I highly recommend Simply Gourmet for all of your special occasions."
