I had my ceremony and reception at Baker Street Station, which is managed by Goegleins Catering. They were so helpful and flexible as I was planning every detail of my big day. Everything turned out beautifully, and I’ve gotten so many compliments on the venue and the food!

Goeglein's is AMAZING! My husband and I chose to have our wedding ceremony and reception at the Homestead. It was a beautiful choice. Amy and her decorations staff handled everything for us. I wasn't stressed out about setting up because they did it all for us. Jeff and his staff met with us several time to decide on food, which was out of this world! Many, many guests complemented us on both the food and venue. If you are looking for an outdoor ceremony site and reception all in one place, I highly suggest Goeglein's. They will even decorate for you which is an amazing added bonus!

They are very easy to work with and made our reception planning stress free. Our ceremony is at the same site as the reception. All the food we tasted was divine and the decorator didn't push us to make a sell

Goegleins Catering was wonderful to work with for our wedding. We did a non-traditional cocktail buffet reception with no sit down dinner and they worked with us through every decision. It turned out great and everyone loved the food!

There are not great enough words that can be shared about Goeglein's.

For starters:
We were married at the Baker Street Train Station, a venue that we immediately fell in love with for its beauty, originality, and history. We also loved that we could use the space for both the ceremony and reception, a big plus for added convenience and monetary savings. Upon our visit of the venue, we learned that we must use Goeglein's for all of our catering needs- what we did not know, is how grateful we would later be for this.

Goeglein's service:
We had the privilege of working with Jeff Werling, a gentlemen who not only quickly responds to emails and phone calls, but also is quite hospitable and friendly. We planned our own wedding, in a city that is not our home town, and Jeff answered all of our questions about the venue (how big are the tables/ recommended lay out, etc) as well as offering references for other companies in the area (Our DJ for example, who also was great).
I also spoke with the secretary Sandy on several occasions, and enjoyed every one of them.
On the evening of our wedding, the catering staff were impeccable. Everything went without a hitch and everyone continued the sentiments of friendliness that Jeff had initially expressed. The bartender was particularly helpful as he checked with us every time a decision would be made that would alter our final bill due to the company.

The Food:
That's what we really need to know about when looking for a caterer, right? Well, I can assure you that the quality is top notch here. Many of our guests made a point to compliment us on how great the food was. And when I snuck in a few bites for myself, the mass quantities that were made for the wedding day tasted the same as when we had our amazing tasting months ahead of time- this is quite the feat, I think.

Absolutely wonderful on all accounts, and quite the savings for true quality!

We were very happy with all of Goegleins services. The only comment would be maybe at the beginning of the process to give a example of how the costs really look. Like the fees, and percentages. This would have helped with our budget early on.

Couldn't have asked for anything more.
Top quality, very responsive to emails/phone calls/changes. Always very professional, prices were in line if not a bit better than other places. I feel like they saved me time while they did the catering and decorating. I had total trust in him and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

The food, venue, service, flower centerpieces and bar service were amazing for the reception along with the ceremony venue, chairs and decor. Great experience and with their help I've gotten really good reviews of my wedding from people who came.

Jeff W. was great to work with. Very down to earth and always willing to answer all of our questions. We had the reception at The Baker Street Train Station and it was a beautiful venue. The staff made it easy to enjoy ourselves. A quick rundown with the reception coordinator and that was all there was to it. The service was awesome and the food was excellent!!!

Goeglein's meal at my wedding was by far one of the most delicious meals I have ever had! It was easy to set up a meeting with them. When my husband, mother, and I came in for the meeting, they had prepared several dishes for us based on what I had said I was thinking of serving at the reception. They were all so good, it was hard to decide! They also had a diagram of the reception hall I was using and were able to help me somewhat with a seating chart. At the reception, all the servers were very nice and professional. All our guests complimented us on the delicious food!

I absolutely loved this vendor! They were super flexible with our event time and the food was great! I had lot of people comment on how the coffee had a chocolate hint (I didn't get any because we were so busy) and it was consumed quickly! Excellent meals and the cakes(for dessert) were very well done.

Amazing place. Advice though would be to be in the upstairs hall like we were because of all the people dancing and jumping around I know for a fact the hall below would be able to hear it. Our photography gave that advice to us which we took.
They had to cater the food and alcohol which everything was perfect. No complaints at alll

I really enjoyed Goegleins. They were very flexible with the menu. They even specially made mac and cheese for our special day:) We were able to take the food home, and they even put it in containers for us so we didn't have to bring our own. They were on time and were very professional.

Goegleins is one of the top caterers in Fort Wayne. They were great in working with us on the menu and understand our budget constraints. We did a desserts menu and it was so much fun for us and for the guests. Something I would recommend for your reception if there is a tight budget is to provide punch or something similar and anything else is a cash bar. It saved us around 3,000.

We had such a great experience with Goegleins! Jeff was great to work with from day one as we searched for the perfect venue! As the decorating started Genia was a life saver!!! We did family style and the food tasted great and we had plenty!! The only problems were the staff were a little behind on things, no champagne at toast time, no plates when it was time to cut the cake, but they fixed these things right away!!
We highly recommend this vendor!!

They are kind of pricey if you are on a really strict budget or have a very large wedding, but I fed 120 people a full, sit-down meal on China with punch, coffee, and water for under $2400. It was AMAZING food, and very timely service. I didn't ever have to worry about anything.

Baker Street Bash

Goeglein's was incredibly flexible with us, being that our wedding reception was downsized several times with people being concerned about Covid-19. Beyond that, the food was amazing (and HEAVILY complimented by our guests), and Baker Street Station was THE perfect backdrop. I couldn't have imagined celebrating anywhere else. Go Goeglein's!

My husband and I loved our reception at Goegleins. We rented out the upstairs room and it was perfect. I love the feel of the room, it is semi rustic, without being over the top! The food was great, and they were so easy and wonderful to work with. WE are so glad that they were able to help make our special day amazing!

We used Geogleins to cater our 150-guest wedding at the Baker Street Train Station. Jeff was great to work with from beginning to end. He was also very responsive and embraced my detail-oriented self. We also relied a lot on Genie for decorations and our centerpieces. They really nailed the vision we had discussed over those months leading up to our wedding.

Goeglien's overall was a good caterer for someone that wants classy service people, and plated dinners on a reasonable budget. They offer packages which include glass diningware, linen service, and cake cutting service which is nice. A lot of caterers charge an additional fee for most of these items, but we were happy to find they came included with the seated meals. The waitstaff was incredible. Very professional appearance and service. They also worked with us to come up with a pasta dish that wasn't on the menu.

However, there were a few things that bothered my husband and I. They provided us the wrong type of bread side, and they overcharged us. However the overcharge was quickly taken care of within a few days of the wedding. One thing I would reccommend is asking and making sure you get a tasting before the wedding. My husband and I really didn't like our pasta dish. In fact, I didn't end up taking more than a couple bites. It was however, nicely presented. I also wasn't a big fan of our contact. It kind of felt like I was intereacting with a car salesman sometimes.

Overall I would reccommend Goeglien's based on their wide variety of food choices, their ability to work with you, the waitstaff's professionalism, and their reasonably priced packages.

Even though Goegleins did a great job in catering my grand daughters wedding reception, they 'cancelled' that all out by sending me a substantial bill after I had paid for the catering services in full several weeks before the wedding reception. The accomplishment of having the whole wedding paid for was quite rewarding until I received another bill a week after the wedding reception. When I contacted Goegleins Catering about the situation, Greg Goeglein stated that they 'forgot' to add a charge and that it was 'human error'. He was very rude, arrorgant and very condenscending with his 'so called' apology. Of course I paid the bill which by the way was MORE than a couple hundred dollars. And will never recommend Goegleins to anyone after that encounter.

The food was good but that's where it ended. Goeglein's coordinator showed up to our meeting drunk and also late. I should have known that that was just the beginning.

At the reception, they did not know how to work any of the lights and left the head table in the dark for the whole night. The pictures turned out horrible because of this. They did not serve the head table the wedding cake and they forgot about serving the champagne for a toast.

While we brought these up to them, they did not help out at all. They were very arrogant and unprofessional. I would not recommend them to anyone.

We sent a letter after the wedding with the items were not pleased with, but they never gave us an apology or any feedback whatsoever.
