    Outstanding experience

    Gil’s recently catered our daughter’s wedding at Hickory Street Annex and did a fantastic job. Everything about their process was extremely professional and they were very responsive. The planning went wonderfully with the only exception of picking out which of the food to order. On the day of the event, the food was masterfully prepared and the service by the waitstaff and bartenders was tremendous. I would strongly recommend Gils for anyone looking for a caterer.

    Fantastic Service and Food

    Gil's was AMAZING to work with! Their team is extremely responsive and revised our menu as many times as we asked. They were super professional and the food was INCREDIBLE. Everyone was raving about how good the food was, and the bartending staff were on top of it the entire night! They provided all of the mixers too, including ingredients and garnishes for our signature cocktails! 10/10 recommend--they made this part of the wedding completely stress-free.

    Great food!!

    Gil’s was absolutely awesome at our wedding! Our buffet was absolutely delicious! We had kid meals for the younger ones. We had a complimentary late night snack courtesy of Gil’s. Jackie was very helpful answering questions! All of our guests loved the food! The salmon was my favorite! Thank you!

    Gil's Was Wonderful!

    Gil’s Elegant Catering was perfect! The food was delicious, and we received many complements. Jackie and her entire team were so great to work with. Jackie is very thorough with her proposals, and there are no hidden costs. She also gave us terrific advice on everything from the menu to table arrangement, and she and asked key questions that really made a difference in the flow of the venue.

    Fabulous food, service, and drinks!

    Jackie with Gil's was amazing to work with, not only did she help us with every step of the way, she gave honest opinions on the menu and really helped guide us to make the best decisions! We had 3 action stations at our wedding and picked the mac n cheese bar, avocado bar, and carving station with salmon and sirloin.

    I had so many guests come up to me at the wedding and tell me how amazing the food was. Everything was so elegantly prepared and plated. Jackie helped me with the linen selection as well to make it a seamless process. Her staff is phenomenal to say the least, they make great drinks, help the guests, and do not miss a beat. We’re so lucky to have been able to with Gil's!

    Experience and Service

    We hired Gil's for our wedding. They were incredibly helpful as we navigated all of the rule changes that COVID brought to our wedding. The team knew exactly how to pivot while keeping our vision in place. The food was spectacular and the service is top notch. You feel like you have a collaborator when planning your food & beverage choices

    Exceptional Menu Options and Outstanding Service!

    We looked carefully at several different caterers, but ultimately chose Gil's for the flexibility in menu choices they offered. Their service and responsiveness from our first tasting, to the night of our event was outstanding. We chose to have Stations at our wedding, and Brenda and Jackie were both extremely knowledgeable and flexible in making both large and small changes to our selections. On the night of, our Event Manager Alberto did an exceptional job of making sure our guests were well taken care of. The service staff not only did everything we asked them to do, but took care of so many details I had not even anticipated. The food quality was excellent, the menu options were creative, and the display was fun and inviting as well. I think choosing Gil's was among the best decisions we made for my daughter's wedding.

    Best caterer in dfw!

    Everyone should hire Gils Elegant Catering for their wedding! Jackie Alberts will make your reception perfect! She will dot every I and cross every T. I couldn't be happier with using Gils. I was blown away with how perfectly executed every detail of the reception was. The tables were beautiful set up; the food was perfectly displayed and THE BEST FOOD EVER; and the service was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Truly, the best service and food you could ask for. We had our reception at Four Corners Brewery. We had three food stations: a meat carving station, charcuterie station, and taco station. Everyone kept RAVING about how good the food was. The servers were incredible and catered to all our guests' needs. They passed around drinks and apps during cocktail hour, and they kept the venue clean! The night flowed perfectly, and we couldn't have done it without Gil's! Every detail was perfect: from how the tables and food were set up, to passing out cake, to passing out milk and cookies at the end of the night, to passing out our send off flags! Jackie came up with our send off idea: little Costa Rican flags (we were leaving for Costa Rica for our Honeymoon). The night was perfect! THANK YOU JACKIE AND GIL'S!

    Best Decision You Will Make on Your Wedding Day

    Seriously!!! Wow! Gil's Elegant Catering blew it out of the park on my wedding day! From contacting Gil's to the tasting, everything was so easy and fun! Jackie at Gil's elegant catering went above and beyond. At the tasting we wanted to try the steak with a different sauce and they brought it out right away! All the food was delicious. All of my guests said they never had such amazing food at a wedding before. They personalize everything for you! Easiest and best decision you can make on your wedding day!

    Amazing food and amazing service!

    By far, the most impressive catering company we met with - Jackie is so professional, responsive and friendly, and answered any questions we had. She was so knowledgeable about how the evening would flow, and how food stations would work throughout the event, and provided us great advice during the planning process. The food is UNREAL - every item delicious, displays are beautiful, and the staff is so attentive. Everyone raved about the food. Gil's hosts public events to give you time to experience their food and service, but they also do private tastings - and Jackie provided everything we wanted to try, including creating her version of a unique St Louis tradition that my fiancé was adamant about having. Can't speak more highly of this company - don't waste your time anywhere else.

    Fantastic Service!

    We hired Gil's for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, the service was top notch. Jackie was our point of contact and was very responsive throughout the whole process. We were able to do a food tasting prior to booking and knew from the quality of food and the service that we wanted to book Gil's. Our guests raved about the food and had nothing but great things to say about the staff. Book Gil's! You won't be disappointed.

    Delicious food, fabulous displays, great service

    Gil's was absolutely AMAZING! We had them cater our wedding at the Dallas Arboretum, and I cannot speak highly enough of them. They made the wedding day easy, and the food was fabulous. Delicious food, great display and great service! Brenda was my contact from the day I first requested information, and she was at our wedding making sure it was flawless. If my glass was empty, she was there filling it up. She even gave us a to-go box at the end of the night with some snacks, our wedding cake, and champagne to enjoy at our hotel afterwards! Everything was spot on and our guests raved about the food (and drinks) saying it was some of the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Overall, Gil's was one of the best vendors we picked for our wedding and I would highly recommend them!

    My parents and fiance at the time all went to the tasting with me, and Jackie treated us like royalty. She asked questions, answered questions, and really let us design a custom catering menu with passed apps, some served and some buffet, served and bar-tended alcohol, cake cutting, and late night pass. We changed our bar menu a few times, and they were happy to accommodate us each time, and it turned out perfectly. The food and the service were above and beyond - I cannot thank Jackie and her team enough for providing such excellent service and great tasting food!

    Gil's was AMAZING! I cannot speak highly enough of them and how easy (and delicious) they made my wedding day! Ethel was on site the day of the wedding and she ensured everything went according to plan. If my glass was empty, she was there filling it up! Prior to the wedding day, we had a couple different taste tests with Gil's and they always accommodated our schedule as out-of-towners. Thank you Gils for helping make our wedding day so special!

    Jackie, Alberto and the Gil's Team were so amazing to work with. From the responsiveness of emails from the get go, to the personal tasting with Jackie and Alberto, to the grand finale of our wedding, Gil's was absolutely top notch. Their food is phenomenal and very upscale. Our guests are still raving about the passed hors d'oeuvre and the melt in your mouth chicken piccata. Alberto and his team did the best job the day of the wedding. He always made sure my groom and I had what we needed food and drink wise. He was so attentive to our needs throughout the night. Look NO further, because Gil's is the caterer you need to use if you want the best food, drinks and service for your wedding!!

    We used Gil's for our wedding at the Dallas Arboretum and it was all so delicious! We received lots of compliments on the food - the fact that it was served promptly and was actually still hot! Brenda was so great to work with, made sure no detail went unnoticed, and was very clear about the whole process! She made the whole planning process a breeze! The night of the wedding, they also had a little to-go box for us with snacks, our cake, and champagne!
    The team for our wedding was so awesome and we could not be more pleased with our experience!

    We had a very hard time picking out our food for the wedding. So many caterers had confusing menu options or didn't really have what we were looking for. Then we met with Brenda and everything changed. Brenda is amazing and she was there every step of the way. Her menus and packages are super straightforward and there is no pressure at all. She did a great job explaining our options and giving her input. For example, we added salmon (based on Brenda's suggestion) for an extra $2 and it was a hit with all the guests. Gil's even threw in a free late night snack for all our guests for booking so early.

    Gil's won't disappoint. They go above and beyond, the food was phenomenal (many guests saying it was the best meal they ever had) and their service is top notch. And they are extremely budget friendly. Brenda and her team are the real deal.

    Brenda, Alberto, and the whole team did an amazing job with our wedding. They were very accommodating to customizing what we wanted and made it happen exactly that way. Everyone has told us over and over how great the food was! Presentation was beautiful, service was great, drinks and food were all great. They did a great job working with us prior to the event and delivered with perfection. Thank you!

    Highly recommended. Brenda and Edith were on top of everything. There were a few minor bumps but all were quickly and well resolved. The food was delicious (I hear because if didn't eat any!). But they very kindly brought myself and my broom prepared plates to eat asap as well as some appetizers in a separate room before we entered the venue. They must have flawlessly done the toast and cake serving because I didn't notice a hitch. My wedding coordinator said they were very helpful in the breakdown as well.

    I HIGHLY recommend Gil's for your wedding catering! All the staff is wonderful and very informative. Gil's offers multiple FREE open house events throughout the year.

    We were so happy that we chose Gil's for our daughter's wedding reception. The food was phenomenal - from the appetizers down to the late night snack of milk and warm cookies. Our guests were blown away by the quality of the food and the service. Brenda and Edith were great to work with and always quick to respond to our questions. We would not hesitate to use them again!

    Gil's catered my daughter's wedding reception at the Dallas Arboretum/Rosine Hall
    and it was SPECTACULAR! Everything was absolutely perfect!! We served salmon,
    chicken asiago, veggies, salad, rolls. The guests had nothing but praises to the chef.
    Gil's staff was also wonderful, professional, very easy to work with. They were flawless
    the entire night. I HIGHLY recommend Gil's to all my Brides. Wonderful service,
    Exquisite cuisine, great pricing, and Brenda is delightful to work with!

    They ran everything perfectly. Jackie and Edith is who I worked with and I have never been so stress free while arranging an event. There price point is really on point for how good the food is and they really go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. If you are considering anyone else don't, they are who you want on your big day.
