Casual Gourmet was amazing! They definitely were organized and listened to our wants/needs with no issues. They were able to provide an extensive list of foods to choose from within our budget. Everyone from our wedding said the food was so tasty! -

Tia Sent on 10/19/2025Would do it all over again!
From the moment we spoke with Mary on the phone, we knew we made the right choice with The Casual Gourmet. This was confirmed when we met Mary in person at our menu tasting and experienced how incredible the food was firsthand.
On our wedding day, the team executed everything flawlessly—exactly as discussed—and went above and beyond to take care of every detail. They made me feel like a true guest at my own wedding, which is the best feeling. Because of them, we had such an enjoyable experience from start to finish, both throughout all of the planning and on the big day itself. Mary and her team really worked with us, answering every questions and accommodated requests throughout the whole process and helped us make our day feel as "us" as possible.
Nick and I already knew we were going to love our meals, but it was great to hear so many of our guests rave about the food—both throughout night and even weeks later! Don't even get me started on the cake; we had so much fun hand picking the flavors and mousse for every tier, and when I got to see the fully decorated cake on wedding day... just wow. It was everything I had hoped for. We can’t thank The Casual Gourmet enough for making our day so memorable and being so great at what they do. We’d work with them again in a heartbeat! -

The casual gourmet MADE my wedding - I can't thank them enough. Not only did this team craft my husband and I's favorite meals (Boston style steak tips, salmon, and pesto pasta), but they are the kindest and most professional team there is. I truly cannot recommend them enough. Mary and Cassidy were there if we had questions/concerns and even helped with our timeline! Our guests were raving about our food and our cake - both were exceptional. Thank you Casual Gourmet!!!! -

We could not recommend the Casual Gourmet more. We chose them because they had previously catered other family member's weddings and we were always so impressed. As expected, we were thrilled with our decision to have them at our wedding. They are quick to respond, flexible, and gave great insight and things to consider when planning our wedding. When Mary and her team arrived to the venue the day of our wedding, I felt like I blinked and everything was set up perfectly despite us being a bit unorganized on our end. Mary ensured everything ran smoothly, her staff was considerate and friendly, and the food was AMAZING. We will always recommend Causal Gourmet -

Olive at Casual Gourmet helped me plan a rehearsal dinner and welcome party held at Bourne Farm. Both events were a big success!
Olive was hugely helpful in working out tent, rental, layout and timing logistics for me as I had not been to the venue before. There was a hurricane predicted and she had lots of suggestions for managing the weather for our outdoor event, but the day turned out to be beautiful. When she arrived for the event, however, the wind had picked up and before I even got there she had gotten the tent company back on site to secure the sidewalls and cook tent so the wind was not an issue at all! Aside from the logistics, the food was SUPERB! The sit down dinner was three courses, each better than the previous and our guests ate every bit. We served a second dinner with food stations afterwards for the welcome party and everyone loved it. The best lobster roll and fantastic crab cake sliders were highlights! How Olive got such 5 star food out of a cook tent I will never know, but it was truly amazing, and I highly recommend Casual Gourmet. -

Kathleen Sent on 07/17/2024Never disappoints
This is the second event Casual Gourmet has catered for me personally. My first encounter was at my nieces wedding several years ago. The food choices are incredible and delicious, the attention to detail is spot on. What i didn't think of, they did. The servers are professional, polite, respectful and happy!! My guests could not stop commenting on how delicious everything was. I look forward to hiring them again. Highly recommended!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ -

Mark Sent on 12/18/2023A Wonderful Experience
The Casual Gourmet (CG) was wonderful and definitely helped make our wedding one of the best days ever! The whole day was beautiful and everything CG did was amazing. The food was awesome, really gourmet restaurant level cooking and beyond what we expected. Guests at the reception were raving about it. Of course, my special choice, the lobster rolls were probably my favorite, but the scallops with flan were amazing. Those got the most comments from guests. The ravioli was terrific. All the other choices were wonderful too. The desserts were very tasty and looked beautiful. The wedding cake was awesome; beautiful, delicious and exactly what I wanted. Perfect!
The reception room at our church never looked better. The setup looked great and their choice of hightops with two food tables plus bar was perfect. I'm happy we did a stand-up meal of heavy hors d'oeuvres as it gave the guests more opportunity to mingle and make a full luncheon of it. The dishware and glasses were great and everything was quickly picked up and cleaned away so there was no clutter.
The servers were wonderful, extremely professional and very discreet. I didn't even notice food tables being refilled and plates were quickly served making everything so easy for our guests.
Mary Di Rienzo from CG came out to Provincetown a few days before to review our space and go over final details. She was great to work with. She also came the day of the wedding and made sure everything ran like clockwork. This felt like an added bonus.
The whole event was really first class. I will be recommending The Casual Gourmet to my friends. In fact, I've already had folks request their info for future reference. -

Smooth Sailing Start to Finish
I can't say enough good things about Olive & her team at Casual Gourmet. They were incredibly professional & the most responsive of any vendor I hired (even months before my wedding). They always eased any fear I had & were super accommodating of little details I wanted to add, even days before our big day. I really appreciated how clear & concise their quote was, and that they were willing to work with us to save some money where we could. Casual Gourmet is so experienced that I never had any doubts about over/under ordering, day-of logistics, scheduling, bar set-ups, staffing, inclement weather changes etc. - all big things that I know can make or break a wedding day. My husband and I felt so relaxed and at ease on our day because we knew we were in the best hands and the CG team would calmly handle any bump in the road. On top of all of this, the food, desserts & cake were outstanding. The passed apps and raw bar were abundant & delicious. We had a seated dinner for 185 at a private home (CG cooked in the garage), which they handled beautifully - with food coming out hot & on time. The cake and desserts were delectable and guests were still talking about them months later. Casual Gourmet also bartended our wedding & did such an amazing job at crowd control, while still keeping the bars looking beautiful. Overall, we are just so grateful for Olive & her team's herculean efforts, making our July wedding a dream come true! -

Carolyn Sent on 09/24/2023Overcame Challenging Weather for a Memorable Day
We planned an outdoor wedding for 85 guests under a tent at our home. Casual Gourmet was with us every step of the way, making recommendations to cover all contingencies. Our worst fears were realized when a torrential rainstorm drenched our event! Fortunately, the amazing organization and resourcefulness from Olive and the Casual Gourmet team saved the day! Everyone enjoyed the festive and delicious food, awesome wedding cake (!), great bar service, and friendly, professional staff taking care of every detail. Casual Gourmet went above and beyond to make sure our event was stress-free, enjoyable and beautiful from start to finish. They did an amazing job. Why entrust anyone else with your most important day? -

The entire experience with Olive and her team was excellent. From our initial conversations about menu selections, the tasting session,follow ups on details,and of course the perfect execution on my Son's wedding day.

Superb Wedding Weekend Catering!
Ellen and Olive, and their entire staff at the Casual Gourmet did a superb job planning and executing our son and DIL’s wedding earlier this month at Highfield Hall in Falmouth. They were consummate professionals from initial planning steps, to menu tasting, to execution of the wedding day. They were also available to cater a brunch next morning as well, which was scheduled later in the process, and were able to execute a make-your-own breakfast sandwich buffet, an idea from the bride and groom. We felt totally relaxed going in to the weekend, knowing Olive and Ellen were in charge. And the hors d’œuvres and meal (and cake! and breakfast sandwiches!) were scrumptious. We would highly recommend the Casual Gourmet for any event, large or small! -

Caroline Sent on 07/07/2022A++ Catering for Cape Cod Wedding!
I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience with Casual Gourmet. Casual Gourmet has an absolute rockstar team who helped me not only provide the best meal for my wedding (all of my 80+ guests said it was the best wedding meal they have ever had) but they were also amazing communicators with all my vendors. I had no stress leading up to the wedding or on the day of because of their expertise. One thing that really stood out to me on wedding day was that they set aside the passed apps at my table seat and saved me signature cocktails knowing that I wouldn't have time to eat or drink with all the craziness on wedding day. Thank you again Casual Gourmet - Olive, Mary, Ellen & Deb - you are all the BEST and made my wedding day so perfect. -

Elizabeth Sent on 10/21/2021Casual Gourmet is fantastic!!
My husband and I worked with the Casual Gourmet for our wedding in September in Wellfleet and could not recommend them enough! When planning our event, food was one of the most important things to us... we love to eat and wanted to provide our guests with a high quality, elevated, delicious meal that also felt very "Cape Cod." The Casual Gourmet team was absolutely fantastic to work with. Mary Lyons (Di Renzo) helped with the planning and the tasting and Deb (not sure last name) was our day of planner. They were both so organized, communicative and professional. The service throughout the night was flawless and the food came out hot! We got many compliments and there were LOTS of clean plates. The appetizers were also incredible!! Mini lobster rolls and a raw bar!! We were in heaven. We truly had the best day and Casual Gourmet helped bring our vision to life! -

Caitlin Sent on 10/13/2021Absolutely Fabulous
Olive and Ellen were incredible to work with. From the get go, it was clear that Olive was a seasoned professional. She had catered many weddings at our wedding venue, and truthfully helped us outline the entire timeline of our wedding day, which was incredibly helpful. We loved working with her to create a menu that our guests would love, and our taste testing before COVID was so much fun and delicious. It was so hard to decide what to serve at our wedding because everything was just that good. Despite having to postpone our party several times due to COVID, Olive and Ellen were supportive, patient, and great communicators, and they were determined to make our October party our dream come true. The food at the reception was absolutely delicious – from the passed appetizers (lamb lollipops, mac n’ cheese tartlets, lobster rolls to name a few) to the entrees (sliced sirloin and panko haddock) to our incredible funfetti / marble wedding cake. Our guests are still raving about the food. The drinks were fabulous. The servers were absolute professionals. Carolyn, our day of coordinator made sure our wedding day was smooth in its entirety. Thank you, Casual Gourmet for helping make our wedding day an absolute dream come true. -

Lisa, Mary and Olive were amazing to work with and delivered on their promise. Our guests raved about the food, variety and the presentation at our daughter's wedding. I would highly recommend them and given the opportunity, would hire them again. -

Julie Sent on 10/08/2021Julie White Bowen (bride)
We heard consistently from many of our guests that our wedding was the best wedding they ever attended. That, in part, was because of venue and 9-piece band, but Casual Gourmet was absolutely outstanding and a huge part of that compliment. We had a few “foodies” in the crowd who thought all the food was excellent and, as you know, this isn’t always the case. Between the delicious passed apps that were so original, the raw bar and the exquisite buffet, guests were amazed at the presentation and quality of food. Absolutely delicious!! We worked closely with Mary and she was amazing, detail oriented and always readily available. We plan to celebrate with them again at our first year anniversary by having another big “bash”. Thank you Casual Gourmet!! You’re voted best for a reason. -

Michael Sent on 09/06/2021Simply Perfection.
I can't say enough good words about The Casual Gourmet. Weddings, especially now in a covid era, have stressful moments. The thing about Olive and her team, is that they are able to anticipate questions, concerns and obstacles and work seamlessly to make your perfect day. Her service is second to none; from the hors d'oeuvres to the cake, every bite was culinary perfection. Their connections with other vendors in the local and regional area make for easy coordination and alleviate much of the logistics that usually bog down the process.
On a personal note, as an LGBT couple, Casual Gourmet was extremely welcoming, professional and simply put a joy to work with and I can't imagine our wedding without Olive. We owe her and her staff gratitude for years to come as we look back on our special day. -

Sarah Sent on 09/02/2021Simply outstanding!!
Working with the Casual Gourmet was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Olive and Mary were extremely easy to communicate with and helped us work through all the coordination that goes into a tented backyard wedding. During the planning process, they communicated with our other vendors and made sure no detail was missed. On the day of the wedding, Mary and her team were phenomenal. Our wedding day was brutally hot, definitely not the easiest conditions to work in, and her team kept everything moving (and everyone hydrated) without missing a beat. On top of it all, the food was outstanding -- many guests said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! We cannot recommend the Casual Gourmet highly enough!! Thank you Mary, Oilve, and the whole Casual Gourmet team!! -

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Casual Gourmet!! Lisa cook is professional, organized and truly a pleasure to work with. When an issue occurred she was right there ready to remedy. Her heart is in this and you could tell! I would hire her for any catering event! -

Danielle Sent on 10/14/2020Delicious food!
Working with The Casual Gourmet was hands down the smartest wedding decision we made and led to a perfect wedding day. Olive and Mary were incredibly easy to communicate and work with, especially when it came to navigating COVID. Mary acted as our wedding coordinator and was perfectly organized and made sure everything went off without a hitch. Our guests could not stop raving about how delicious the food was, especially the steak and chocolate chip cookies. I would without a doubt recommend The Casual Gourmet for any catering needs on the Cape. -

Katie Sent on 08/01/2019Amazing to work with - Fresh, local and delicious food!
Casual Gourmet was so great to work with! Olive and her team don't skip a beat and have every detail covered. Any questions I asked would get answered... Olive is a fountain of knowledge, especially since the venue (Bourne Farm) had so many moving parts. I knew I could count on her and her team! To top it all off, the food was absolutely incredible - fresh, local, delicious and beautiful! People are still talking about how good everything was. -

Zach Sent on 11/28/2018Would do it all again with Casual Gourmet! (A++)
Olive Chase (and the entire Casual Gourmet team) is a pleasure to work with. She is super knowledgeable about the wedding industry in general and even more knowledgeable about the catering aspect. Olive worked to give us exactly what we wanted, even accommodating some of our more complicated requests. I especially love how Olive and her team source as much of the food locally from Cape Cod as possible - it really makes the entire experience feel that much more unique and authentic. The food was delicious (from appetizers to wedding cake) and the service unmatched. Our guests are still talking about how perfectly the event was executed by Olive and her team. I cannot thank The Casual Gourmet enough for making my wedding one of the best days of my life. If you're looking for delicious, locally sourced food with the best service on Cape Cod you cannot beat The Casual Gourmet! And P.S. Olive is great about providing recommendation to help minimize costs (i.e. we brought in all of our own liquor).
