Sophie Sent on 04/29/2024Amazing food!
My husband and I are both foodies and wanted food that our guests would talk about for months after the wedding. Gadabouts exceeded all our expectations. Every guest said how wonderful the food was and that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. From the grazing table to the prime rib carving station everything that was served at the wedding was phenomenal. Gadabouts was able to work with us to create our dream wedding menu and ensure that we had everything we could have wanted. Catie was there to answer all of our questions through the entire process. She helped us have our dream espresso martini tower and was able to take any and all suggestions we had and turn it into a reality. The day of the wedding we had the best servers and bartenders that took care of us and our guests. It was a night to remember and Gadabouts helped to make it possible. -

We used Gadabouts as our wedding caterer recently and we could not be happier about our experience with them. Everything including the food, bartending, planning and communication ahead of our event, and our initial tasting was absolutely excellent. As soon as we tasted the food we knew immediately we wanted to book with Gadabouts for our wedding. Everything we tasted was amazing and actually made it difficult to choose what we wanted to have at our wedding. They were also very flexible with the menu, both regarding how many/what types of items to include as well as the specific ingredients in a certain dish. They made several small changes to their menu items to align with our tastes and all the food was absolutely perfect on the wedding day. Additionally, Catie was a great help in planning the catering and bartending services in the months leading up to the wedding. She answered all of our questions, coordinated all the tableware, glassware, and linens, and even guided us through everything we would need to provide since we decided to stock the bar ourselves. If you are considering Gadabouts as your caterer for any event, you will absolutely not be disappointed. Both the food and the service are unmatched. P.S. Try the bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese - one of the best things I have ever eaten! -

Binny Sent on 08/01/2022Gadabouts is a team of wedding-making superstars!
We hired Gadabouts for our wedding catering, bar, and day-of-coordinator services. Eileen Gaddy and her team -- ALL of them -- were consummate professionals, eager to ensure all goes perfectly at every single step, and each person on their team had a wonderful personality!
I corresponded regularly with Eileen for many months prior to the wedding via email, and I was consistently blown away by how responsive, incredibly accommodating, and kind she was throughout the entire (stressful) process. To say that we found the coordinator/caterer of our dreams would be a drastic understatement; Eileen and Catie were an integral part of planning the greatest day of our lives, and we will be forever grateful for their help!
The food was also fantastic, the service was wonderful, and by the end of the night, the bartender and I had a legitimate friendship going on! Not to mention those dessert shooters... my goodness, those things were a hit. Gadabouts knows exactly how to ensure a perfect wedding, even when it's as untraditional as ours was in many ways. I could not recommend this group enough! Don't even hesitate! -

Gadabouts catered our micro-wedding at Overlook Barn and the food was excellent! They had a charcuterie board that was out of this world, with amazing cheeses, unique crackers/breads, fresh fruit, and different jams and spreads. Our guests went up for seconds, thirds, fourths...and we had to remind them that we had dinner coming :) Gadabouts was super flexible in planning our dream dinner and customized a BBQ pulled pork, mac 'n' cheese, and fried chicken spread for us. It was delicious and I was so happy we had some leftovers! They were also super thoughtful--they found out some of our guests were children and they added on some cupcakes with fun-colored frosting for the kids. They were a hit! -

Indiana Sent on 01/22/2023Wonderful & delicious wedding catering
Catie and the whole team at Gadabouts were incredible for our wedding. First off, the food far surpassed our expectations. The menu had so many choices it was dizzying, but we were helpfully shepherded through the decision process and narrowed it down ahead of our tasting. Generally wedding food is just food, but during and after our wedding multiple guests commented to us about how incredible the food was. The service was fantastic too, all of the servers were lovely and Catie herself was so easy to work with even while we worked through multiple rescheduling during the height of Covid. You can tell that this family run company really cares about not just the food, but the experience they provide too! Thank you so much! -

Amazing ladies and the food is pretty incredible too. Eileen Gaddy and her daughter Catie are fabulous people with a sense of humor that made them so down to earth, easy to talk to and work with throughout the wedding process. I found myself wanting to go hang out with them just to have a great laugh. Hiring a caterer for your daughter’s wedding is by far, in my opinion, one of the most important vendors to get spot on and hiring Gadabouts was a bullseye. Eileen helped us from the very beginning to establish a menu within our budget and meeting our many dietary restrictions (Lactosse free, gluten free, vegetarian, vegan). The contract with Gadabouts was so detailed (which I love) there was no room for miscommunication of expectations. Eileen even took time to review our equipment rental contract to help us make sure that we covered everything we may need for a beautifully presented and flawless service.
When my daughter and I went up to NC for a tasting, we were blown away by the seasoning and flavors that the chef put into every dish. No kidding, it was by far our favorite meal the whole time we were in the area. So much so that we ended up tweaking the menu to include grilled trout instead of chicken for a wedding with over 100 guests. Never in a million years would I have added grilled fish for that many people, the odds of getting every piece perfect is not in your favor, but Gadabouts did that and more. I know because our guests are still raving about the food.
I highly recommend hiring Gadabouts for any catering event. They are very accommodating; they provided a stress free professional service and setup for both our reception and bar. My only regret is not taking the time to chat with them after the wedding to let them know just how much we appreciated everything.

Mouth Watering food and a million options to choose from
Gadabouts Catering is absolutely the most enjoyable and easy to work with catering company ever. They make sure all your food requirements are met and that's saying a lot as I have a very picky husband who was over joyed with their food. They are all wonderful people to work with and you are missing out on their out of this world food if you do not hire them for your special occasions! -

If you are getting married in the high country, do your guests a favor and serve them some Gadabouts! The food is amazing, we had so many guests tell us it was the best chicken they've ever had. Not only was the dinner delicious, but the apps were also impressive - my husband was obsessed with the pork belly tacos, and I loved the chicken & waffle skewers. So just when you think it can't get any better, it does, because their customer service is next-level. We were a Covid couple, so regulations were changing every few weeks leading up to our date. Catie was so attentive to us, willing to jump on calls daily, and so quick to email back. We were making changes to our cocktail hour setup the week before, and it didn't even phase her. Catie, Eileen and team had everything set up perfectly on the wedding day, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We would recommend Gadabouts to anyone, they will truly make your day so easy and perfect. -

Eileen was amazing to work with! With COVID we had to make a lot of changes and she rolled with every change so well. We had to cut the number of people for the reception a o after the ceremony a few had to leave and she made to go meals for those leaving. We had everything planned and had to readjust our plans and went from a buffet to family style but it was even more perfect than a buffet in my opinion. Everybody raved about the food. The appetizer tacos were amazing - they were even great about making us a plate of apps since we were running around taking photos. My husband is a collard greens snob and said they were the best he’s ever had :) It was a magical day thanks to Eileen and her team! I HIGHLY recommend using them for any type of event. We’ll be coming back to Banner elk for her bbq, tacos and collards very soon! -

On October 12th, we had our dream mountain wedding! After reviewing numerous caterers we knew we hit the jackpot when we contacted Eileen. The possibilities with her menu are endless!

The wedding dishes we chose were absolutely delicious and our guests are still talking about them. The catering team's service was exceptional! Seriously, do not look further! Gadabouts is it!!! -

Gadabouts Catering made our wedding a hit with all of our guests! We had a guest list of 205 people. While it was a large guest list Gadabouts' quality remained a 5/5 stars. The quality of food was amazing, the presentation was beautiful and the service was incredible. The entire process was enjoyable from our first meeting to the day of our wedding. The service we received was extremely professional and went above and beyond our expectations. We loved the numerous options we were given for our menu and Eileen worked with us to make it exactly what we envisioned. She also provided all of the flatware, plates and glasses. I am so happy we chose Gadabouts! -

Jordan K. Sent on 03/21/2020Gadabouts and Eileen are a sheet joy!
Gadabouts Catering has truly exceptional food and was wonderful to work with! We got to do tastings that were so much fun and helped us build our wedding menu. Eileen is just a sheer joy! She and her staff have a wealth of catering knowledge and communicated so efficiently. Planning a wedding is stressful and Eileen’s calming nature made the catering planning fun and easy. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious and well presented the food was! We had around 200 guests and everyone was beyond pleased! From the stunning cheese, fruit, and bread display, to the passed hors d’oeuvres, to our buffet style dinner with carving stations, everything was truly perfect. We cannot thank Eileen and the Gadabouts staff enough for their support and making our guests and us so happy.Gadabouts Catering's reply:
Thanks so much for this, Jordan...especially now. this is such a stressful time for everyone and I need a little good news! Have a wonderful life together!
