Lindsay and her staff were beyond helpful! They helped create the most delicious elegant but country BBQ for our rustic barn wedding. The staff went above and beyond not only with the excellent service and set up but assisted me getting ready as well. My guests still rave about the food. I'm so sad that my left overs were left behind. Just gives me another reason to hire them again!

Allen and Lindsay were amazing to work with and super accommodating. Not to mention how amazing everything taste. They were so professional and by far my best vendor they were the first ones there and one of the last to leave. They greeted me when they arrived and let me know they were set up and ready for guest and was Professional and friendly with everybody. Even boxed us up two huge to go boxes and prepared our cake topper for the freezer for our one year anniversary!!

I cannot express enough how amazing the food and catering service was for our wedding, 1/23/21. We had so many compliments on the food itself, we love the chicken!! The catering side of this business is absolutely amazing. Lindsay was great setting it up with us, the tasting, the contract and the prices. The day of help was amazing and complimented as well. Our guests were beyond impressed with the service and support to guests with walkers/canes. Thank you all SO much, for everything. We will be lifelong customers and sending all of our support!! Thank you for being amazing and for your delicious food!!

The food was very good according to all our guests. It was served hot and on time. They were also able to adjust to a change from outside to under a tent dinner due to weather. They were professional in their communication. Would recommend them as wedding caterer.

So, so happy we went with GCS! We were planning a destination wedding in Venice, FL, and it was so easy to communicate with Lindsay for our catering preferences. On the day of, their set-up was seamless and looked absolutely beautiful. And most importantly, everything was so delicious!! We loved being able to have a local, family-run caterer, and GCS really helped to make our day extra special. Cannot recommend them enough.

GCS was amazing! Lindsay, her husband, and their team were absolutely incredible from the moment we met them up through our wedding. From working with us on the menu to going out of there way to help setup at the wedding, they were definitely the best caterer we could have asked for. Their food was nothing short of delicious and was exactly what we were imagining. From their outstanding helpfulness to their incredible food and team, they were a hit at our wedding and my husband and I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married!

Lindsay and her team are absolutely THE. BEST! Amazing and super delicious food! Amazing people! Beautiful display and set up. Extremely professional and so easy to work with. GitChewSum is not your average BBQ catering, these guys are the best of the best! If you are looking for the most phenomenal BBQ in Florida, look no further than GitChewSum.

GotChewSum BBQ was amazing! When we had to find a new caterer 3 months before our wedding, it was very stressful. Luckily GCS was super helpful and even honored the pricing as best they could from the previous caterer. Not only were they great in this last minute change, but the food was amazing and the staff that worked our event were phenomenal. Super professional and always there for help with our guests getting food and drinks as well as cutting and serving our cake. If I have another event, I will definitely be going back to them.

Gitchewsum BBQ was amazing! They caterered my wedding with about 100 guests and it was so smooth and plenty of food. All of my guests were asking about the caterer and loved it! I requested food that wasn't on their menu and they happily made it for me and it was delicious. They went above and beyond with set up and clean up! This was the second wedding they had catered that I was at and both weddings the food was a hit!! Definitely recommend!!!
