We truly cannot thank Chris and his team enough. When our original caterer canceled just 30 days before our wedding, Chris stepped in and immediately put us at ease. He was calm, t...
houghtful, and always five steps ahead, making what could have been a stressful situation feel completely manageable and enjoyable.
In the final weeks leading up to our wedding, it was such a comfort knowing everything was being handled with so much care and attention to detail. On the big day, Chris was there himself and his staff was beyond wonderful - kind, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely a joy to be around. Our guests are STILL talking about how incredible the food was and how seamless everything felt.
Chris even worked magic the day before our wedding when we realized our cake hadn’t been ordered - my dream cake appeared like it was meant to be. We are so grateful for Chris and cannot imagine anyone better to have been part of the most special day of our lives. Thank you, Chris!! You truly delivered our dream day.
If there was one thing about our wedding that our guests are still talking about a month plus later - it is the food. Best in Gourmet delivered some of the absolute BEST food we’ve...
had to date. They made sure everything we wanted was there -from the apps, specialty cocktails, to the family style delivered main meal inclusive of Chicken parm and penne vodka - they went above and beyond. Chris, Ariel, Tony and the entire BIG team were so, so wonderful to work with. They helped us decide on a menu, gave us great direction on layout and table design that would work for family style, and the service was impeccable. You could never NOT find a bite to eat for the full length of the wedding! They made sure the passed apps were plentiful, and that every table at our reception got seconds and even thirds if they wanted! The team was easy to find, the bartenders were fast and generous, and overall, the entire staff was kind, and lovely to have as part of our day. I would work with BIG time and time again!
We hired Best in Gourmet to cater our wedding at the historic Lounsbury House in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and they were absolutely phenomenal. We knew the food would be excellent a...
fter our tasting, but the service on our wedding day was truly next-level.
The team anticipated our every need — my wife and I felt completely taken care of, almost like royalty. They managed every detail flawlessly and handled any challenges that came up with grace and professionalism.
Our expectations were high, but Best in Gourmet went above and beyond in every possible way. From start to finish, they were a pleasure to work with — responsive, organized, and genuinely dedicated to making our day perfect. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a true 5-star catering experience.
Chris and his team are exceptional - no doubt about it! We hired Best in Gourmet as the caterer for our wedding and it was the best decision we made! Not only was the food outstand...
ing (everyone was talking about it - and who talks about wedding food??) but the team made everything happen flawlessly. It was as if we hired a caterer and a day-of coordinator all in one! I would recommend Best in Gourmet to everyone!

d the main dishes were of high quality. Chris is a true professional and his staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran seamlessly on our wedding day. I would highly recommend their service for anyone having a wedding in Fairfield County!
Chris has been absolutely amazing, on top of everything and no detail missed. Chris was always available and very quick to respond to any questions we had. He made every effort to ...
accommodate whatever we wanted food and drink wise. The food was delicious, everyone at our wedding kept complimenting how delicious the food was. Ginny (I think the staff manager) was also fantastic day of the wedding. We had only just met her the day of, but she instantly introduced herself and said that she would do whatever we needed to make our special day perfect — simply put she really did and we really appreciated that considering we didn’t have a separate wedding coordinator. She went above and beyond what we felt she had to do which was incredibly helpful. We happened to have Chris cater our brunch the next morning (unplanned coincidence) and Chris even had his staff bring the leftover alcohol from the night before. He accommodated this very generously and it was actually a huge help considering all of the other items that we had to bring back from the venue night of. Chris, Ariel, Ginny and staff were all fantastic, thank you so much!
Best in gourmet is truly the best caterer we could have asked for! They were extremely accommodating throughout the whole process. There were tons of little details and emails back...
and forth and best in gourmet accommodated all of our requests. During the wedding, they ensured that everything ran smoothly, that we were following our timeline, and that my husband and I were well taken care of! The food was to die for. Some of our favorites were the lobster roll, Peking duck rolls, and the filet mignon. Best in gourmet also made sure that we were well fed throughout the entire event. During the cocktail hour, we were pulled aside and given a tray of all of the hors d’oeurves for us to eat privately. Then during the actual cocktail hour, we were offered even more food. The second our dinner was served, they made sure that we sat down and enjoyed our meal. We also had green bows that were on the aisle chairs for the ceremony. They decided to reuse our green bows throughout the reception to decorate the sweetheart table and the cake table! It was such a thoughtful touch! Again, I cannot recommend best in gourmet enough!
Chef Chris and his entire team were a delight to work with for our wedding. From the first tasting, the entire event started to feel real to us in an exciting way because we knew, ...
if nothing else, the food was going to be amazing!
It can be anxiety inducing to have to select from a list of caters provided by your venue, as it was in our case, but we ended up being so glad that Best in Gourmet was served up to us on a silver platter. Their event manager, Ariel, was on top of everything—coordinating our rentals, ordering beverages, and attending on site meetings that left no stone unturned.
During the event, the front of the house staff had us absolutely dazzled. Our drinks were never empty, our guests were served quickly, and even my friends from culinary school who are notoriously hard to please were raving about the dinner. Someone brought my husband a PBR on a platter and he has been acting different every since lol. The only picture I took on my cell phone the entire day was of my steak, because it was so beautiful I wanted to remember it forever.
As a former wedding cake decorator myself, I was loathe to pass the task of making my cake to someone else but their pastry team made a beautiful and delicious cake for us to cut, as well as assorted bite sized desserts like French macarons and bars.
The B.I.G. team was not only incredibly professional but they knew our venue inside and out, offering insight where we needed it and working with me to make my most minute aesthetic dreams come true.
Thank you so much Best in Gourmet!!
Truly the best of the best! The food, the service, the staff - could not have trusted a better group with the most important day of our lives. Guests still talk about the food at o...
ur wedding and I am so grateful we got to work with them!
Chris from Best in Gourmet saved our Wedding after we had another caterer pull out on us at the last minute. Best in Gourmet not only was able to reset and match our menu in 2 days...
but all everyone talked about at the wedding was how amazing the food was. Thank you Best in Gourmet for the amazing service and delicious food.
Best in Gourmet Catering was out of this world incredible!! Chris is a complete gem and did such an amazing job of bringing our wedding vision to life. He went above and beyond to ...
fantastically coordinate with the other vendors and we felt so at ease knowing he was our guy!
All our guests raved about the SUPERB service at the wedding. The staff was beyond friendly and super accomodating. Our guests also raved that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding!! Ginny was our captain and was absolutely fantastic! She made sure we were taken care of the entire time and kept us on track! I cannot say enough good things about the entire operation, and it was above and beyond what we could have ever imagined. Thank you Best in Gourmet!!
It is difficult to explain how in awe I am of what an incredible job Best In Gourmet did with our event. From the most amazing captain I could have dreamed of, Ginny, to all of the...
servers, they were kind, attentive and flexible -- really just the best.
They clarified any and all discrepancies throughout our wedding day and allowed us fully soak in the evening without any worry. There were so many details that went into this event that could have gone wrong, and somehow nothing did thanks to this amazing company.
Melissa and Chris spent endless hours planning this event, making sure every detail was accounted for. They worked amazingly well with other vendors they partner with to ensure everyone was on the same page. We were so glad we left many of the details to them They helped us think through an entirely unique event that changed many times due to COVID, and we are so appreciative.
Beyond their amazing service, the food was delicious and the presentation of the appetizers and small plates were absolutely beautiful. Countless people told us they never had such amazing food, and especially not at a wedding. If you book these guys, do not worry at all about the quality of the food - I promise it will be good!
I highly recommend Best In Gourmet to anyone. They are the best in the business!

liments on the food at a wedding, ever. In addition to the quality of the food, I also received many compliments on the service. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a flexible but reputable catering company. WELL DONE! :)
