    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.

    Outstanding Service

    For this father of the bride Mary and her staff were outstanding. The guests raved about the food (it was excellent). They handled all the decorations, both setting up and taking down, and had everything pulled together at the end of the evening. They made a special evening very easy and let everyone have a great time. Thank you Mary.

    Olive Chase and team were incredible. They heard our vision for the wedding and multi-course dinner and delivered.

    Casual Gourmet did an outstanding job for our daughter's wedding. They were very well organized, professional, and paid attention to all the details. It was a pleasure working with them from our first phone calls to the final glass of wine poured!

    Never 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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Wow. Wow. Wow.

    Olive and her team at Casual Gourmet did an incredible job of catering our wedding celebration for 150. From the menu selection to the tasting dinner to the event itself, everything was first rate. Our guests raved about the food. The professionalism and peace of mind they brought was priceless. Can’t say enough great things. Olive knows what she’s doing. You will not go wrong with Casual Gourmet.

    Cape Cod Wedding

    We used the Casual Gourmet for an outdoor wedding on the Cape and they were incredibly helpful in making our special day a success. We worked with Mary, who went above and beyond to coordinate with all of our vendors long before wedding day, and was always available to answer any of our questions as we prepared. She worked to ensure that our vision came to life, and it absolutely did!

    Additionally, the food and service on the day of was remarkable - our guests were especially impressed with the passed hors d'oeuvres and raw bar. I would absolutely recommend the Casual Gourmet to other couples in search of catering (and more!) vendor.

    A 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.

    Easy Breezy

    When planning our wedding we wanted someone who would help take care of it all so we didn’t have as much to worry about. From the beginning Olive and her team were super helpful and informative and made us feel at ease, and of course the food was delicious. They constantly kept us updated and helped with creating a timeline of the day, and I would recommend them to anyone starting their wedding planning journey.

    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!

    Overcame 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?

    An evening we could only dream of

    From start to finish, Casual Gourmet was wonderful to work with. They worked with us to plan and execute a wedding we could only dream over. The food was excellent, and the service throughout the evening was superb. We recommend Casual Gourmet to anyone having a wedding on the Cape in the near future!

    Flawless!!

    I highly recommend Casual Gourmet. Mary Di Rienzo and her staff did an incredible job. They offer many choices. Our appetizers and entrees for the reception were absolutely delicious. Everything was beautifully and professionally served and enjoyed by all. Mary was our day-of-coordinator. She was with us every step of the way. She took charge and made sure the ceremony and reception ran smoothly. Huge success!

    Casual Gourmet is the absolute best

    Mary and her team were absolutely amazing leading up to and on our wedding day. They set up our venue better than I could have ever imagined, and everything was perfect from the food to the service to the presentation. I cannot recommend Casual Gourmet enough!

    Seamless! Definitely recommend!

    Working with the casual gourmet team was great! They did a ton of coordination behind the scenes that made our planning so much more seamless! The team was very available to help coordinate with our other vendors and even came to site extra times (and within minutes notices!) to ensure everything would go well day of. Food was incredible and guests enjoyed it! Would definitely recommend as I would not have done anything differently if I were to do it again!

    Casual Gourmet at Highfield Hall

    I would recommend Casual Gourmet for someone looking to have a 'fancy' wedding reception - i.e., not pizza at the beach. They have a wide range of food items to choose from, and they are all good. I especially liked their Chowder Bar, where they have a pre-prepared base and you choose the items to put in your chowder. Very tasty. I note that they also helped us organize the wedding. We did not have a wedding planner, but Emily (from Casual Gourmet) stepped in and basically ran the show for us - much appreciated. Casual Gourmet is a bit on the pricey side, so probably not a good choice for those on a tight budget, but we felt we got good value.

    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!

    Casual Gourmet is the absolute best!

    From the minute we met Mary of Casual Gourmet, I knew we were in good hands for my son's 200+ wedding on our property. She was so professional and such a take charge kind of person, I could totally relax on the wedding day. And the food was outstanding, delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend them and should I have another large event, I will definitely use them again.

    A++ 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.

    Casual gourmet: professional, supportive and thorough!

    MY DAUGHTER WAS MARRIED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO AT BOURNE FARM, A BEAUTIFUL VENUE! BOURNE FARM REQUIRES A LOT OF COORDINATION AND FROM THE FIRST TIME WE MET WITH MARY FROM CASUAL GOURMET WE KNEW WE HAD CHOSEN THE BEST. NOT ONLY WILL CASUAL GOURMET TAKE CARE OF THE CATERING, (THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT), BUT MARY ASKED FOR A LIST OF ALL THE VENDORS AND COORDINATED EVERYTHING. MARY HELPED WITH THE SCHEDULE, KEPT THINGS FLOWING AND HIT THE MARK WITH THE CEREMONY, COCKTAIL HOUR AND RECEPTION. SHE WAS IN TOTAL CONTROL AND EVERYONE SAT BACK AND HAD A BLAST! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CASUAL GOURMET, THEIR STAFF, AND MARY; AND THE WEDDING CAKE WAS DELICIOUS! MY ENTIRE FAMILY LEFT THE RECEPTION AFTER GIVING BIGS HUGS TO MARY, FOR MAKING MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING BEAUTIFUL AND JUST WHAT SHE WANTED IT TO BE!
