    Quality Quality Quality

    Gastons Culinary Services have been amazing the past few times I have seen them in action. They have been able to accommodate our breakfast order at the very last minute (Day Before) as well as coordinated an entire evening function to include live music and a bartender. The menu left nothing to the imagination and all of the guest were very pleased. the conch fritters and fried snapper were just icing on the top. I cannot wait until the next opportunity to experience the friendliness, service, and FOOD again!

    Wonderful Staff & Food!

    I utilized Gaston's Culinary Services for a corporate event and was beyond pleased with the food & service! They were more than accommodating with security protocol at the venue, maintained open communication, and the food was delicious. All of the employees I communicated with & met in person were professional and genuinely happy to be assisting with our event. It was wonderful getting to support a local & Veteran owned business. Thank you Chef G, Kathy, Chris, Danyell, & Fabiola!

    The BEST food and BEST service

    Kathy, Chef Gaston, and all the members of this wonderful company really made our wedding day special! To start, Kathy really makes her clients feel listened too and important. She is always quick to respond to messages, works magic with budgets, and is overall such a friendly person to talk with!

    Now, more importantly the food was outstanding! There were plenty of options to choose from and the prices were hard to beat! All of our guests absolutely loved the appetizers and entrees and we continued to hear how good the food was all through the night! We really can’t recommend Gaston’s enough. They we’re truly the best! (Still thinking about the delicious bruschetta and salmon we had 🤤)

    Responsive & Accommodating

    We hired them for a corporate party and they were so accommodating, helpful when dropping off/set up. Everyone raved about their food and business cards were gone in a 30 mins! Dani was wonderful and very responsive thought the entire process start to finish!

    Helped us in a bind

    Gaston's Culinary was awesome. They were one of the only catering companies I called that actually returned my phone call. Food was wicked good. Service was on time and they were available for any questions we had. They helped make our event extra delicious with prices that were very affordable. Everything came ready to go, which made it much less stressful the day of our event

    Great food, great people

    Everything was amazing! The guests could not stop raving about the food. The cheesecake shooters, angus sliders and Cod with Shrimp and capers were an all around crowd favorite. However every dish was mentioned by multiple guests. Thank you for making our party easy and a huge success! They were easy to work with, on time and quick setup.

    The Trifecta - Great Service, Food and Staff!

    I hired Gaston’s Culinary Services for a milestone event! They had a wonderful selection of food choice options which made it easy for me to customize. The FOOD was delicious and wonderfully presented. The catering manager, Danyell, was a pleasure to work with, I had 10 days to pull off the event and Gaston’s partnered with me to get it done. They scouted my venue and came up with a food presentation design that impressed the guest of honor and our guests. They are now my #1 Catering Choice! The Food is Fantastic!

    Chef Gaston and his team catered an outdoor event for me. We had 150 guests and couldn't be more pleased with their services. The food was delicious, presentation outstanding and the overall experience was very positive...we will definitely use Gaston's Culinary Services again!

    Professionals that serve yummy food

    Gastons Culinary Services is a family run business and are very professional and the 5-star reviews on their profile gave us a good hint as to what to expect. As for the service, it was great and they communicated exceptionally with the venue and also with is as we planned our menu. The food tasting was delicious. On the wedding day, we were so busy that we barely managed to enjoy our food and when we did it was already cold (typical I supposed), but we have heard only good comments from fam and friends.

    Wonderful food! Great team!!

    Choosing a caterer was a challenging experience being an out of state bride who couldn’t do any tastings. So, I had to rely on reviews to select my caterer. I selected Gaston’s with the reviews on their food and service. I’m so glad that I did! The team is great at Gaston’s. Kathy helped to coordinate my meal and was very communicative and kind at every step of the way. The team that came on my wedding day were very professional and friendly! The food was very tasty and all of my guests loved it! They were even kind enough to fulfill a special meal request for a guest with dietary restrictions - who also loved it! I’m so happy that I chose Gaston’s. They’re a great company that cares about their clients and their services took away one more thing to be worried about on my wedding day.

    Amazing Chef & Staff

    Chef Gaston and his entire staff were absolutely phenomenal to work with from beginning to end. While we used him for a charity event this time I am currently in the process of booking him for multiple other events. From customizing the menu to your theme, working with venue staff, and overall customer service I can say he is without a doubt one of the best caterers I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

    Best Service Ever!

    Chef Gaston provided an unbelievable selection of food for our guests. The food was delicious, the display was amazing and the service was outstanding. We received a high number of positive compliments from our guests on the food and layout. Amazingly, Chef Gaston accomplished this on short notice and in the middle of a pandemic...we will be forever grateful!

    Best Service Over All - 1/5/2020

    Gastons Culinary Services Staff went above and beyond to meet our wedding day needs and expectations. They were on time, courteous, and generous with their assistance on our special day. I have been trying to figure out what words would help me reassure another bride that they will not be disappointed.
    All I can really say is that I know for a fact that I will definitely be going back and recommending them again for any major events.

    You Will Not Regret It!

    Amazingly Delicious!

    we had Chef Gaston cater for our daughter's wedding and it was a pleasure from the beginning, his disposition to help and make suggestions about the menu. Every single guess had good comments about the food, flavor, presentation, and professionalism of not only chef Gaston but his whole team. The newlyweds could"t be happier. We do recommend chef Gaston All the way! for all events, gatherings, celebrations, etc.

    25th Wedding Anniversary

    We hired Chef Gaston of Gaston's Culinary Services for our 25th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal Celebration. From our initial site visit with him and his team, we knew we had selected the right caterer for our special event. He not only provided a wide array of food options, but went above and beyond to accommodate the special circumstances of our event. Furthermore, every member of his team demonstrated the same commitment and attention to detail during the event that contributed to its success.

    Chef G's passion for his work is clearly evident in his execution. He is dedicated to high quality food preparation, beautiful presentations, and timely service. His ability to adapt to any circumstance or challenge and to do so with a desire to please, separates him from caterers we have used in the past. Additionally, he provides his services at a very reasonable price.

    We would gladly recommend Chef G of Gaston's Culinary Services and his company to anyone seeking an EXCELLENT caterer.

    Not only is the food good and appealing to the palate, their level of attentiveness to your needs is a benchmark that all should strive towards. Our event had a few people who were vegan and their food was just as delicious.
