best. food. ever.
When I saw the pricing I thought “there is no way this is going to be good food at this price”. W R O N G! I may be biased because it was my own wedding, but based on our guests reactions as well, I feel like I can honestly say this is some of the best wedding food I’ve ever had. We had Caesar salad, pot roast, boursin chicken, roasted carrots, and garlic chive mashed potatoes. All the meat was SO fork tender, the carrots had this amazing taste to them, think that taste you get on the outside of a burned marshmallow, that very specific taste. The carrots had a hint of that with sweet and savory, I truly can’t describe it any other way. The mashed potatoes weren’t like most wedding potatoes, stiff and gross. They were fluffy and warm and truly amazing. Like, I would go back to have a meal by Gilmore Catering. Kim was amazing to work with helping me set up the bar, providing me options for my vegan friends, helping me select appetizers for a good variety (GET. THE. VEGGIE. SPRING ROLLS. Holy crap they were SO GOOD!!!!)

Great variety and quality of food
Gilmore was absolutely professional and a pleasure to work with. We did tastings before the wedding and were advised on which foods would be best based on seasonal items for our wedding. Everything worked out perfectly, and with a plated wedding we barely noticed being served as it was all done quickly and professionally without getting in anyone's way. The food quality was excellent and tasty and we would highly recommend Gilmore for your catering needs - especially the salmon!Gilmore was absolutely professional and a pleasure to work with.

Their food was WONDERFUL! We got all sorts of compliments on how good our food was. They were efficient in cleaning up (maybe a little too efficient... they took the grooms’ food really early and he was still hungry). They were on time and ready to go by the time pictures were done!Their food was WONDERFUL! We got all sorts of compliments on how good our food was.

We chose Gilmore to cater our wedding for approx. 100 people. The food was outstanding! It was everything we expected and more! They were professional on site and managed everything with a smile. We heard nothing but compliments from our guests. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer.We chose Gilmore to cater our wedding for approx. 100 people. The food was outstanding!

Gilmore did our outdoor wedding in July 2017. We could not have been happier with everything. The staff were so incredible and made us feel such at ease. The food was great, they were flexible, and worth every penny. Our day of manager was so comforting and I didn't have to worry about a thing.

We brought boxes for leftovers but never saw any. I'd imagine there was something. I'm not sure if it was just missed. But if that is the only complaint, I'm fairly lucky. Everyone raved about the food and Kim, the manager, was incredibly helpful and encouraging during what can be a stressful process.We brought boxes for leftovers but never saw any.

Hi Brittney! We are sorry to hear that you did not receive leftovers as you had requested. We do our best to fix these issues and will pass this note along. Aside from that we are happy to hear your experience with us was a positive one! Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback, we appreciate it! -

You couldn't ask for an easier caterer to work with. We had multiple guests comment that this was the best wedding food they had ever had. They were willing to go above and beyond to help with set-up. I had several guests with special dietary requests, and they were so accommodating to ensure all of my guests were taken care of. They quickly responded to all of my communications. I can't recommend them highly enough!!!You couldn't ask for an easier caterer to work with.

Gilmore catering helped make our day so incredibly special, our food was raved about from our guests and when they realized my husband and I didn't get to eat as much as we would have liked, they made to go boxes for us to enjoy later.

We're hosting our reception at The Top of the BOB, catered by the Gilmore Collection. The space is great for that downtown feel with plenty of room to not be cramped (approx. 200 guests) We were pleasantly surprised at the ample food and beverage service selections and how reasonable the pricing is. Everyone we've worked with so far has been very helpful and really quick to respond to questions. We're going for our private food tasting next month and we couldn't be more excited!We're hosting our reception at The Top of the BOB, catered by the Gilmore Collection.

We had our wedding reception at The EVE at the BOB with Gilmore Collection Catering. From the very first tour of the place the staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. I am so happy we went with them. Our reception turned out beautiful. Kari was our coordinator and Kauai was our manager the night of the reception. I really cannot say enough nice things about working with both of them. The food (appetizers and main course) were fantastic, the event ran very smoothly, and my mom really appreciated the staff's help with getting everything boxed up at the end of the night. Very professional group of people to work with and I would recommend having an event at the EVE to anyone!We had our wedding reception at The EVE at the BOB with Gilmore Collection Catering.

I used Gilmore Catering for my wedding in Saugatuck, MI. I was planning from Indiana and Gilmore made the planning process a breeze. Kim and Angela at the Gilmore were fantastic to work with and responded quickly to any questions I had. We had some odd requests and it did not throw them off one bit. As for the day of the wedding Charlie was on our onsite contact. He was the best thing ever! He was so professional and was prompt with how the evening went. All of my guests were raving about Charlie and the staff!I used Gilmore Catering for my wedding in Saugatuck, MI. I was planning from Indiana and Gilmore made the planning process a breeze.

We had the added fun of planning our wedding from out of town and Alicia and Kerry were a huge help in planning our reception at the Top of the B.O.B. The venue is beautiful, amazing food (we had many, many guests tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever had!), staff that goes above and beyond (even making my plate and carrying it to my seat for me), and a great location. Alicia was our manager for the night and she was wonderful in planning and helping the night flow flawlessly. Many guests commented on how amazing the venue itself is and then the service on top of that. Our only wish is that we could have taken the left over food home since it was so good! We couldn't be happier with our decision to have the B.O.B and Gilmore Catering for our reception.We had the added fun of planning our wedding from out of town and Alicia and Kerry were a huge help in planning our reception at the Top of the B.O.B.
