Leslie M. Sent on 06/04/2021BEST FOOD & Amazing Staff!
Goodrich Gourmet was a perfect choice from the tasting, planning process, and the big day! We got to customize our menu, choose our settings, and have the most splendid dinner. Everything was DELICIOUS and got rave reviews from both the guests and ourselves. Lauren was incredible to work with and always available for any guidance. We also did the open bar selection which I highly recommend! Everything was divine. Thank you to Lauren and Goodrich Gourmet for helping me plan my dream day! I highly recommend Goodrich Gourmet to anyone!! -

Goodrich Gourmet was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. We
wanted to show our favorite people some love and feed them something delicious
on our big day. Goodrich Gourmet delivered on both loving our people well, and
feeding them well. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and many helped
themselves to second plates.
The staff members we worked with were professional, kind, and genuinely seemed
to love being part of our day. Our interactions were sprinkled with well wishes and
reminders to enjoy the day, as well as questions to ensure we as the Bride and
Groom had a chance to eat. It was clear that each of the staff loved being part of
someone's celebration, and that they had not lost their joy for the wedding business.
They made the logistics aspects so easy and were willing to make many adjustments
for us throughout our wedding process, especially when we saw a big change to our
guest count. Our bartender was wonderful, ensuring that there was never a line and
that our guests quickly returned to the dance floor. The ladies helping us during
dinner were so kind and attentive, always ensuring our drinks were refreshed and
we always had a cold beverage waiting for us at our sweetheart table. We also opted
to use our own plates and they diligently cleaned and repackaged them with care-
truly going above and beyond. I cannot recommend this vendor highly enough for
your next celebration.

I am SO thankful we found Goodrich Gourmet for our wedding. We were able to customize our menu to be exactly the meal we wanted: a build your own fajita bar and a southern BBQ slider station. Goodrich made my family recipe mac n' cheese and the pimento cheese station at cocktail hour was top notch!! I had guests coming up to me throughout the entire evening talking about how we had wedding food that was actually delicious, and my cousins are still fantasizing over the shrimp fajitas. I also can't emphasize enough how kind and helpful their staff was throughout our entire reception. Everyone checked in on the groom and I to make sure we had drinks, all the food we could possibly want, and brought over extras from cocktail hour for us to try. They even helped move our sweetheart table mid dinner because we were in direct sun and they wanted to make us more comfortable! The picnic basket they sent with extras of the food was adorable and we were so glad for the extra snacks. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff, interacting with you really made my day! -

Kadie F. Sent on 06/06/2022The best catering company we could have asked for
Lauren and her staff are wonderful. The prices were fair, food was amazing, staff was professional and the owner was very accommodating for we had to reschedule several times due to the pandemic. 10/5 stars across the board. -

Goodrich food is absolutely incredible. Our tasting experience was great and we were so excited to have Goodrich cater our wedding. Lauren was great to work with even when we had additional requests. We got so many compliments about the food and the service. Their bartenders were also so great to our guests and especially us - they had my preferred drink ready to go before I would even get over to the bar! Everything was 10/10, but we particularly loved the mini grilled cheese and tomato soup appetizer and the petite tenderloin! They also have us the cutest picnic basket with leftovers that was such a special touch! -

Woojin A. Sent on 06/01/2021So glad I went with this vendor
Catering was one of the most important vendor for us because we had a small wedding and wanted to treat our guests with some quality dish. I'm so glad I choose Goodrich Catering. Nic is so professional and easy to reach out. The whole process of choosing our perfect dish was very easy and they were willing to meet our personal requests. The plating was so beautiful and looked fancy. You will not regret with this vendor team. Highly recommended! -

Coral Sent on 01/14/2021The food stole the show at my wedding
I found Goodrich by searching for the top-rated catering company within our budget. I reached out early (like a year and half before my wedding), but they seemed to understand that because we are both teachers we had to do things over summer breaks. The wealth of information available on their websites made it easy to have a plan and an approximate cost before I reached out, and made it even easier to go back and forth with Beth as we figured out the perfect details. The tasting made it impossible for us to say no. When Beth found out we were having a Halloween wedding at the Edgar Allan Poe Museum, she decorated the tasting room to match from her own things. The food is DIVINE. They sent us home from the tasting with leftovers and we devoured them. At the wedding, the food stole the show from everything else. Because it was later in the evening, we had appetizers set up in the "wedding" space before the ceremony for our guests to enjoy and boy did they. Please, please, request the kicked up ham biscuits. They are addictive but perfect. The rest of the dinner was set up off to the side buffet style. Their COVID protocols were sound, well enforced, and everything still went off without a hitch that everyone ate their fill. No one went home hungry and people are still talking about the food, especially the kicked-up ham bisuits! They even gave my husband and I a beautiful picnic basket full of leftovers that we happily devoured that night and the next afternoon for lunch on our way home from the wedding.
We budgeted almost 50% of our entire budget for food, but they were still extremely reasonable and 100% worth it! -

At about 65 days out we realized our wedding as planned would not be able to happen and looked to move to another venue with this new location did not provide catering that’s when we found Goodrich. They were great at answering all of our questions, assuring us of COVID procedures, recommending other vendors to help with our change, and had the best food! Lauren and Nic were both delightful to work with and all of our guests raves about the service staff and food! -

Karin W. Sent on 10/20/2021Exceptional food and service
We had an amazing experience with Lauren of Goodrich Catering! We were planning our daughters wedding from Orlando, Florida and she was extremely helpful in all aspects of planning! Very thorough and made suggestions when I could save money! We had SO many guests compliment us on the dinner! We did a Buffett and it was exceptional! Would highly recommend the Lamb! It was amazing! Servers were all polite and well mannered and you could tell they had been with Lauren and company for a while! We had rain so it meant a lot of moving of things under the tent at Keswick and they did an amazing job! Would Highly recommend!! -

Julia V. Sent on 01/24/2020Quality, quantity and overall 10 out of 10!
Highly recommend Goodrich for Carter’s great needs. We had a cocktail hour with appetizers followed by family style dinner with beer and wine bar. The food was phenomenal very filling and they cooked it at our venue! The service staff was very attentive and friendly. Lauren came to our venue to make sure everything ran smoothly, she was so communicative and always got back to me with questions about tableware and random things I would forget to ask until a Month out. The most important thing for us was that we had a budget And Lauren worked so hard to help us meet that. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! -

Kelly G. Sent on 11/03/2019The best intersection of delicious, affordability, and service!
My husband and I loved working with Lauren and her team at Goodrich! We decided to have a buffet - chicken, brisket, potatoes, veggies - and our guests absolutely loved the food! From our initial tasting to our wedding day, everything was seamless with Goodrich. Lauren always offered advice when we needed it, and it made decision making so easy. Her team is professional, the food is delicious, and I would recommend Goodrich to any couple planning a wedding! -

Goodrich Gourmet was nothing slight of spectacular! From the beginning they were extremely organized which made planning a wedding from out of town easier. We thought we had to make some last-minute changes which was stressful but Lauren Goodrich calmly reassured us everything was fine which was helpful during a hectic month. Then when it came to the wedding day the Goodrich Gourmet staff was the sweetest and most attentive people we could have asked for! Everything tasted phenomenal and they set up the tables better than I could have imagined! I am forever thankful for the Goodrich Gourmet staff that was at our wedding and rehearsal! -

Maddy Sent on 04/03/2020professional & delicious
from our first tasting with lauren & the goodrich team, we knew they were the real deal. they even created samples of our signature cocktails, using unique ingredients like the NC-based soda cheerwine and strips of bacon for a bacon old-fashioned. lauren was nothing but professional, prompt, and eager to serve. the stations they made on the wedding day itself were delicious, filling, and hot. goodrich worked with us as we went through several iterations of beverage packages, and the bartenders the day-of were polite & enthusiastic. I specifically remember lauren telling me I looked beautiful when they brought us in to cut the cake, and that small interaction sticks to me even this day 18 months later. thank you, goodrich gourmet!
