Thank you French Gourmet!!!!!!!!

I was at a loss with a limited budget and no wedding planner and The French Gourmet team SAVED my wedding!!!!! Renee was absolutely fantastic, she heard all of my ideas and worked incredibly well with my budget. Renee was incredibly honest and helpful letting me know what was and wasn’t necessary, and that helped me so much. She understood my vision and ran with it, and the execution was perfection. The French Gourmet was my catering, bar, and wedding coordination service and they killed it. All the guests commented on the impeccable service. The bar was fantastic, all their drinks were on point and they created the best welcome cocktail ever!!!! Renee helped coordinate everything and was with me every step of the way, thank goodness! The day of, the talented Laura Reynolds was my wedding coordinator and I can’t say enough just how spectacular she was!!!! She took absolutely all the stress off of me and the wedding could not have gone more smoothly. THANK YOU for creating my most precious memory, and making it incredible!!!!

Good food, great service

The food was delicious, the staff was top notch for serving and clearing even though we had a buffet option, and the croquembouche we had as our "cake" was one of the best things I've eaten!

Most beautiful wedding cake

We thank the French gourmet bakery and Trang for the most beautiful and extremely tasty wedding cake they catered for us. Trang was very helpful, patient and kind and helped make our special day even more special! I initially went back and forth several times about selecting my cake but Trang was so patient with me and helped me make the perfect selection. Thank you to the entire team for the amazing job they did for our big day.

Beautiful and Tasty Wedding Cake!

The French Gourmet did a wonderful job with my wedding cake! I really liked how we could have each tier be a different flavor, and all of the flavors we chose were delicious. The hombre buttercream frosting was even prettier than I had imagined. Trang was responsive and easy to work with from the original tasting to the wedding day.

Culinary perfection

I could not rave more about my wedding food! My guests loved it. I did a duo plated with chicken and steak. Potato o gratin and asparagus. It was beautifully plated, came out piping hot and the meat was cooked perfectly. I did cherries jubilee as a surprise dessert In Addition to cake and my guests raves about it as well.

Absolutely Wonderful!

Simply put, The French Gourmet is the best! We worked with them for our wedding reception. From our initial inquiry to the day of our event they were kind, attentive, responsive, professional and wonderful to work with. They worked with us to create a menu that we loved and identify the type of service that best suited us. They did a formal walk through before the wedding to ensure all details were accounted for. The night of our wedding they were incredible. The entire staff was so professional, quick and kind to everyone at the event. They helped create a romantic and elegant environment through their food presentation and service. The food was absolutely delicious. Numerous guests made it a point to comment on how good the food was. They also worked very well with the many vendors that were part of our event. Weddings are so personal and special, The French Gourmet helped make our day memorable and wonderful! I would refer them to any person looking for delicious food and wonderful service, and give them my highest recommendation.

Delicious wedding cake

My husband loves cheesecake so for our wedding I thought a cheesecake wedding cake would be perfect. I had one once before at a wedding and thought it was a nice change. When I started the search for a baker I was surprised with how many did not offer that, or didn't want to try. The French Gourmet was the only baker I found that said they could make me what I wanted and Trang did a fantastic job at helping me to get exactly that. We had a beautiful and delicious 3 tiered traditional cheesecake with vanilla cake and raspberry purée. Thank you Trang for your responses to my countless emails, arranging the samples, and customizing our wedding cake. I had multiple guests ask where we got the cake from and how it was the best cake they ever had :) Thank you bakers at French Gourmet!

Cake was a hit!

This bakery was a package deal with our vendor so we did not have a choice - however, we were so happy with it and our guests raved about it as well! Delicious!
