    Great Service and BBQ Catering!

    Loree and her team went above and beyond to cater the 100-person welcome party for our wedding weekend at Estates by Brophy this October! Loree was easy to communicate with behind the scenes and she even coordinated with our venue in advance to ensure all went smoothly on the day of the event. We chose the “picnic on location” option and it was so nice that Gances took care of not only the food but also the extra details like plates, cups, silverware, napkins and linens. All the food was top quality, with the brisket and macaroni & cheese as the biggest hits! Additionally, when I reached out to Gances about hiring extra staff to support on our actual wedding day (for which had a different caterer) she was more than willing to help. She connected us with Andrew, who was friendly, professional, and jumped right in with the unfamiliar catering team! We highly recommend Gances for your next bbq-style event!

    Thank you for all your complimentary words. We are so happy that we were able to lend in to such a beautiful wedding weekend! It was a pleasure to work with you and your wonderful family!! Best of luck for an amazing marriage.

    Guthrie Board of Trustees Reception

    This was my first time working with Gances and it was such a great experience. From start to finish, Gances was very responsive with any questions I had regarding my event. The day of, the serving staff that was onsite was very friendly and professional. The food was so delicious. Everyone complemented it.

    Fantastic Caterer!

    Gance's Complete Catering was wonderful from start to finish. This was a destination wedding for my daughter, and Loree made me feel so at ease with everything and coordinated with the tableware rental agency as well as assisted with the dessert table and table arrangements. All of the food was delicious, and I highly recommend the butternut squash soup as it received many compliments! Prices were also very reasonable. I highly recommend Gances!

    Gance's Complete Catering's reply:

    Thank you Krista for such a lovely review. It was a pleasure to work through every detail of this special day with you! It was such a beautiful day! Thank you for choosing Gance's to take part in such a special day!

    Highly recommend

    Gance's Complete Catering went above and beyond for our wedding! We wanted a pig roast, buffet style dinner. Not only did we get the pork (a whole pig for the visual of a pig roast as well), but also 2 other entrées, sides, soda & assorted pie for dessert.
    The pork was delicious. The Cornell chicken and apple pie were to die for & everything else was so good. Several guests have complimented the food or asked who catered the wedding. No one went away hungry or dissatisfied.

    Loree and Christian were so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process from planning to the wedding itself. I can't thank them and their staff enough.

    Gance's Complete Catering's reply:

    Thank you for all the kind words, Crystal! I am so glad we were able to meet and exceed all of your expectations and deliver on the special vision you had!! It was a great wedding, so happy we could be there!!
    Thank you, again!

    The Gances team was nothing but professional and attentive from start to finish. Their professionalism and commitment to us in our special day was noticed by ourselves and our guests. From the harvest table, the passed hors d’oeuvres to the plated dinner. The food was absolutely amazing! I have recommended Gances to anyone in need of a caterer and will continue to do so.

    Gance's Complete Catering's reply:

    Thank you Melissa for your kind words. We were so glad to part of making your vision come to life. Have the most amazing marriage and thank you again!

    Exceptional!

    We used Gance’s to cater our wedding and couldn’t be more happy. They were a true delight to work with, especially Loree!

    Highlights: wonderful food, attentive service, and great communication. The steaks with herb butter had a wonderful charred flavor, the salmon was perfectly cooked and served with a scrumptious cream pesto, and the stuffed acorn squash was beautifully presented, well-seasoned, and very tasty. 



    While the day-of was superb, what we really appreciated about Gance’s was their willingness to collaborate, and lock in the taste and style that we wanted to serve. Our first tasting with them didn’t quite align with what we were looking for—but we offered feedback (on things like cook temperatures, salt levels, etc.). They listened, fully incorporated the feedback, then executed flawlessly at scale for our 134 guests.



    It was a joy to work with Gance’s, and I would partner with them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

    Gance's Complete Catering's reply:

    Lamees,
    Thank you for allowing us to take part in such an important day for you and Nick. It was a fairy tale wedding!! I am so happy you were pleased with our service. We made every effort to make sure your day was everything you wanted it to be. Best wishes to the most amazing marriage!!

    Loree & The team made this my favorite experience on planning my wedding!

    I had the honor of working with Loree who made this experience easy, breezy and fun! She took my vision and made it happen along side Brandi & the crew!!!! The food was delicious and my guest raved about it! The HARVEST TABLE at cocktail hour was the most incredible spread I have ever seen! Everyone loved it and I want to say thank you to the team for this incredible experience and I will forever be grateful for your professionalism, love of food and care for the client! I see your love put into your jobs and it shows!!!!

    Thank you so much for the kind words. It was such a great time planning and watching your dreams come alive. We have a great team here and I knew with Brandi, you were in the right hands.

    Highly recommend Gance's catering!

    We hired Gance's catering for our wedding in Ithaca, NY in July. We really enjoyed working with Gance's leading up to the day of the event, and the day of. They offered many options that worked well for us. Our tasting was relaxed and delicious and had us looking forward to the wedding. For our menu we chose chicken antonia, salmon, pesto penne, roasted potatoes, and grilled vegetables. Everything the day of was excellent, even after a decent travel time. Gance's also provided a harvest table spread for our cocktail hour, which the guests loved. We appreciated that Gance's set up our tables beautifully, including finishing our centerpieces and lighting candles before the meal. The staff were professional and attentive the whole time.

    Disney COVID Wedding- 10.10.2020

    Santino from Gances was excellent to work with! Planning a wedding in the middle of a global pandemic is definitely not the easiest or idealist thing to do, but they were incredibly flexible. Between us making venue changes and all the last minute changes that happened, they were very patient and accommodating. The food was delicious as well. My favorite was the Chipolte shrimp hors d'oeuvres! They were incredible! I am so glad I had them for our wedding caterers.

    Accommodating!!

    We had run into some issues with our previous caterer so needed to find one in a short time period- we contacted Gance’s and they were awesome enough to meet with us in the drop of a hat (as we are not from the area). We signed contracts and put down a deposit that day. Fast forward a few months, and due to COVID-19, we had to change our wedding date. Unfortunately, Gance’s was not available so they were nice enough to refund our deposit paid without an issue. Even though we weren’t able to use the as our caterer, they were super accommodating and for that we rate them highly.

    Hi!- Thank you for the kind words. Sorry that this didn't work out! Wish you two all the best in your married life together.

    Would hire Gance’s again in a second!

    My sister-in-law found Gance’s on Wedding Wire when my wedding venue cancelled last minute! From the start, Santino was so helpful! He was VERY responsive to emails and text messages, which I love about a business. We decided on the wedding package and that was definitely the right decision! This package came with a coordinator for the day of the wedding, which is where we met Andrew and staff! Andrew was friendly, helpful and more than we could have ever asked for along with the staff who were also very gracious! The food was PHENOMENAL! We had caprese and antipasto skewers and burger sliders for cocktail hour, they saved me and my now husband a plate to enjoy before dinner since we were busy getting pictures during cocktail hour! For dinner we picked chicken suzann, citrus pork loin, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese and grilled veggies! The Mac and cheese was some of the best I have had in a long time! We would hands down book with Gance’s again in a second! Thank you Santino, Andrew and crew for making our day so great!

    Amazing Experience

    Gance's was wonderful to work with. They catered our NYE wedding and were all extremely helpful and fair. We were able to access our venue 4 days before the wedding for setup and they came up to Syracuse to make sure everything on their end was taken care of.

    Once at the wedding, people raved about the food all night. We had a wedding of close to 250 and know that keeping food hot & tasty is no easy task but Gance's did it flawlessly!

    Santino & crew, thank you for all of your help and service. It was a pleasure to work with you all and we would recommend you to all of our friends going through the wedding process in upstate NY!

    Simply wonderful

    Gance’s was super helpful and thorough with every detail of our special day. Everyone loved the food. The staff was helpful and friendly. They were transparent about pricing which was very reasonable considering the level of services and quality of food! They even helped me nail down other vendors as I was a little clueless about some of the planning components. I can’t say enough good things about Gance’s!
