Casey L. Sent on 01/13/2024Best Catering company in Sarasota!!!!
When I booked my wedding venue at Mote, I did not know that I would have to choose from their suggested vendors. However, there is a reason why Simply Gourmet is a suggested vendor for Mote. They were so easy to work with! Becky was very responsive to my emails and inquiries and I was never nervous or uneasy throughout the entire process, especially being a destination wedding bride. We flew down over the summer for their grand tasting and after tasting the food, it only confirmed we knew we had made the right choice. Becky, gave us great suggestions for food that worked into both what we were looking for in our reception meal that also was within our budget. Even our family and friends are still talking about how amazing the food was! If I could give more than 5 stars I would hands down! Thank you for making our day amazing! Also, a huge thank you to Carlos for indulging us and wearing a shark onsie while bartending.Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
Casey - what an awesome way for us to end our season - with such amazing clients like yourself! Carlos was so happy to put the cherry on top - and so was everyone on the team. We loved working with you both and couldn't have asked for nicer compliments! -

Where do I begin?! I just got married 5 days ago and used Simply Gourmet as our caterer and I can’t say enough great things! The venue I got married at (Powel crosley) gives you a few caterers to choose from and I am so grateful we went with Simply Gourmet. While the other caterers tried to upcharge for every little thing, Simply Gourmet was reasonable and accommodating and FLEXIBLE. Becky is a true angel and made my experience so seamless. I was a nervous bride and Becky answered all my annoying questions, even if I asked them multiple times. She even remembered things I forgot. She really went above and beyond and I feel like was on my team! The food was outstanding. I have a very Italian family who can be picky about food and I had multiple people compliment us about the food! The portions were large and the food was tasty. I had so many people with different allergies and they got everything correct! Everything from the lamb lollipops to the generous serving of shrimp skewers to my moms made up request of a tomato baked with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese was executed perfectly. Truly so accommodating and amazing! Thank you Becky for everything!!!Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
Arianna- where do I begin! The process of working with you was a dream! I thank you for trusting me with the biggest day of your life and was so happy that you got your dream day. It was an amazing day for an amazing family!

Chelsea Sent on 04/10/2022Great Experience with Buffet Style
Simply Gourmet did an amazing job with our small wedding at the Crosley Estate. We chose to do buffet style and there was plenty of food, with everything tasting delicious (Chicken alla rosa, roast beef, carbonara) and the day was smoothly executed. We would love for there to be more photos on their website of their various food items, but it sure looked great in person. Buffet style was fine during COVID as only the servers handled the serving utensils, not the guests. They offered the most reasonable pricing on food between the vendors we were allowed to use at our venue. Becky communicated very well, and everyone we encountered was a pleasure to work with. -

Eileen Sent on 01/10/2022Outstanding food and service!
I have my destination wedding at Sarasota end of 2021 and our special day wouldn’t be so perfect without Becky and the Simply Gourmet team! Becky has been extremely responsive and reliable throughout my planning process, which is one of the key reasons I picked Simply Gourmet among multiple caterers because I know communication is so important especially that I had not been to the venue. Indeed on the day I’m surprised by the high quality of food and service they provided. All the appetizers, salad, entrees, deserts and drinks are delicious! People are still taking about how good the food is - I love the appetizers, the salad and the signature drinks, and many also told me that the steak was perfectly cooked and the mashed potato was the best they had ever had. Their service was outstanding! We got some issues from other vendors and Becky and the team have been there all the time to help get everything handled so well, and there were staff following us to make sure we have food while we were taking photos. I have very high bar but Simply Gourmet definitely exceeds my expectations. Everybody had such a great time.I would highly recommend Sinply Gourmet! Thank you so much Becky and the team! -

Caitlin C. Sent on 05/15/2021100% Recommend Simply Gourmet!
We could not have been happier about the way our wedding went and how amazing of a job Simply Gourmet did. They supplied all tableware and catering for our wedding in March 2021. We had some last minute changes to our timeline given some delays and they were able to roll with the punches and deliver the most amazing meal and catering service. Every part of the meal was awesome. We completely forgot that they delivered the appetizers to our table (since we were busy taking photos during cocktail hour!) and were so pleasantly surprised when those arrived! Simply Gourmet delivered exemplary customer service and were awesome to work with every step of the planning process. Delicious food, amazing service, and reasonably priced especially for the amazing value they provide. We can't thank them enough and highly recommend their service.Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
Caitlin, Thank you so much for the kind words. We love what we do and we are so happy you had your perfect day! -

Becky and Simply Gourmet Caterers are literally the sweetest vendors I've had the pleasure of hiring. They go above and beyond for their couples. The staff was so kind to my guests and other vendors. They made sure that we were able to taste all the food we has on our wedding day. Becky brought over a plate of appetizers for my husband and I try have while we were taking pictures during cocktail hour. She was incredibly sweet and truly took care of us and our guests. My guests still rave about their beef tips appetizers and desserts.Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
Merna your wedding was amazing! As were you to work with. We love that you and your guests felt very well taken care of and loved all of the food! We wish you all of our best! -

I worked with Jaime and Becky at Simply Gourmet and they made the day flow seemlessly. Simply Gourmet was referred to us after our original caterer had to break up with us, no hard feelings at all towards them. In fact our original caterer is the one who referred Simply Gourmet. Jaime was so incredibly helpful in assisting with timeline for the day and helping to keep me on task, which I appreciated as I found the planning process to be very overwhelming. She was attentive to detail and made sure we managed to add time for us to eat on the schedule. Living in another state Jaime was very good at communicatiung with us and even arranged a tasting for my mother and niece since we were not able to make it. The food was sooooo incredibly delicious. I had so many compliments about the food after the wedding, the goat cheese appetizer was a fan favorite for sure. On the day Becky was our go to person and she was such a delight and fun person to work with. My husband and I were not expecting the level of personal attention Becky gave us. While we were getting our portarits taken Becky was there right along with us with drinks waiting. My husband even commented that he felt like Thor .. he would put out his hand and his drink would appear! HAHA! It was a true pleasure working with these ladies. I would recommend them to any brides I know. I am so grateful they were able to step in and help with our day. Their dedication to making this a great experience will not be forgotten.Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
Alicia -- We are thrilled that you enjoyed your special day! Thank you for all the kind words! Simply Gourmet takes great pride to serve you not only the most delicious food, but also to give you the best service we can so you to feel like royalty. -

Jamie and the team at Simply Gourmet could not have been better! They were so flexible and helpful when we had to postpone our October 2020 wedding a year due to the pandemic and kept in touch the entire time. The entire team was so professional, and the food was absolutely incredible! I'll definitely be recommending them to anyone looking for a local caterer!Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
Thank you Kaitlyn!
We are so thrilled that everyone enjoyed the food. It was certainly a joy to work with you and help you plan your special day!

Simply Gourmet & Becky were absolutely incredible! We used them for a Friday night "welcome party" and our wedding and both events were incredible. The food tasted exactly like it did at the tasting and the cheese board/table they did for the Friday night cocktail party was beyond! I got so many compliments on the wedding food and everything was hot & as expected. We chose the day-of wedding planner service and it was worth every penny. Becky made everything seem so easy and calm and kept the night moving. To me, everything went off without a hitch (and if it didn't, Becky did an INCREDIBLE job of making me feel calm). Becky was great at communicating and her & her team did an excellent job of executing our vision. We had a lot of personal touches (handmade by my mother) and Becky & her team made sure they were placed & ready to go at the venue. She did an excellent job managing our other vendors as well. I cannot recommend Simply Gourmet & Becky enough!Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
Caitlin - it was such an amazing weekend! I loved working with you, Vince, and your whole family. Your mom nailed the florals and all your DIY pieces out fo the park!! I was so happy that you enjoyed everything and I wish you and Vince all my best!! -

We hired Simply Gourmet for our daughter's wedding, and they were Simply Amazing! At the tasting we met Becky and decided we also needed her to be the wedding coordinator. Becky worked with us to create a very elegant event and delicious meal within our budget. She had great ideas and confidence that put our minds at ease. She helped us to have a plan A, B, and C for weather, and thank goodness because we ended up needing to use plan B. Jamie also helped coordinate the ceremony at the church, and her quick thinking saved the day when we forgot a boutonniere for the singer, she quickly fashioned one out of left over flowers! When we arrived at the venue, for pictures, we were greeted by Becky and staff with drinks and yummy appetizers. Our guests were inside having a great time and being well taken care of, they commented that the bar tenders remembered their drinks and had them ready as they approached. The dining service was impeccable. Becky had the venue looking gorgeous, a floor plan that kept the guests engaged and having fun, the vendors coordinated with a timeline, a calm confidence, and a staff that was there to please. Simply Gourmet and Becky exceeded our expectations with the food and service!Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
Liz - we absolutely loved working with you! What an amazing day for such amazing people! The vision for the wedding was stunning - and Jamie and I had such a great time working with you all! We wish all out best for Maddie and Matt! -

The food and wedding coordination was amazing. Becky did such a fantastic job. Worked with our changing of the menu several times and always responsive. On our wedding day, Becky kept everything organized and even removed a huge foot print stain from my dress. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you for making our day so effortless and smooth for us!Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
Lindsay - what a gorgeous day for you and Jake! We are so happy that everything was amazing - and that Becky's expertise was a huge benefit for you. We wish you nothing but the best! Happy Honeymoon!! -

Stacy Sent on 12/15/2018Delicious!
I had the pleasure of working with Becky and she was great! She went above and beyond for me during my planning process. I planned my wedding from out of state and she was so easy to communicate with. During our tasting they whole staff treated us so well, and the food was amazing! We worked with Chef Will, he was great as well. On our wedding day Becky made sure a server focused on my husband and I to ensure we ate and didn't miss out on appetizers during pictures. When we sat down for dinner we even had a plate with every appetizer to make sure we tried everything. We had just under 200 guests, dinner was served very timely and everyone loved their food. I highly recommend Simply Gourmet Caterers, thank you Becky!Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
Stacy - I was so thrilled to make your wedding experience a smooth and enjoyable one! Making sure the bride and groom are attended to is a top priority of mine, and I am glad that detail shined! Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your special day!

Rachael Sent on 06/16/2018I hired simply gourmet catering for my wedding catering after our first tasting, the food was absolutely delicious and it truly set them apart from the other caterers in the area. We also chose Jamie as our wedding coordinator. I am in graduate school and got married in the middle of it (YA IM CRAZY LOL), so without her help I don't know how I would have done it all! She was very organized and super prompt when answering emails. It is apparent she has a ton of experience under her belt! She was able to help us come up with Plan A, B, and even C if weather conditions were to change the day of the wedding --- and they did!! We were so happy with everything Jamie did-- from coordinating with all the vendors, making sure we were staying on timeline, and even saving us food that we missed out on eating because we were so busy getting pictures done!! Overall A+ rating!! Thanks again for everything Simply Gourmet! We highly recommend !
Simply Gourmet Weddings's reply:
I was delighted to be a part of your special day! Even though the weather was not 100% perfect. I am so happy that you trusted me to execute your vision for all plans. Matt and you wanted the ceremony outside and was so thankful that the weather held out for such an important moment.
Chef Larry is delighted that you and your guests enjoyed your food.
We wish you and Matt all best!
