Ghent Sandwich Shop was a PHENOMENAL caterer for our wedding celebration! Sissy and I worked together across the months leading up to the wedding to finalize food options and scheduling - she made the entire process so easy and customized to our needs! The crew showed up early and set up quickly, provided top-notch service (everyone there was so kind and supportive), and provided incredible food that accommodated all of our guests’ dietary needs. They provided all linens, plates and cutlery, and cups (all matching our wedding colors), and made the most adorable cake pops for dessert that matched our wedding theme! They packed up and left in a stealthy manner that didn’t disrupt the flow of the party - I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for event catering in the Crystal Coast area!

We would also like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Ghent Sandwich Shop for the delectable culinary experience they provided. The delectable hors d'oeuvres and exquisite main courses were absolutely divine. The attention to flavors, presentation, and dietary restrictions was flawless. Our guests were truly blown away by the quality and taste of the food, and it truly added an extra layer of magic to our reception.

Short and sweet. I never, I mean NEVER! In my opinion there is always room for improvement in any organization, however, I stand corrected when it comes to Ghent Sandwich Shop. Their food is second to none, their service is second to none. I had an issue with our wedding cake (purchased from a local bakery) the issue was no one’s fault, I was warned transport of this would be challenging, OHHHH BOY IT WAS!… LOL!
Back to the story. When Sissy saw the patient she jumped right in with no questions asked, she dressed it up and saved the day. Thank you Sissy and Ghent Sandwich Shop for the DELICIOUS FOOD! Very reasonable price, and making our reception a memorable one. I gladly give them 5 ⭐️ ‘s.
I will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
Thank you,
Howard Eastmond

Thank you so much for your review. I laughed and cried at this one. That cake gave me heart failure! But there was no way I was letting your beautiful bride not have a cake! Wishing you many wonderful years and blessings.

Ghent Sandwich Shop went above and beyond for our wedding that was literally planned in 45 days. They allowed us to come taste test food before deciding our menu, the Staff was amazing and Mr and Mrs Collins made sure OUR day was just how we pictured it to be. Our wedding day turned out amazing, we got the most compliments on the food. If you are planning a wedding and need a caterer I would definitely recommend Ghent, and chose the Pot Roast as one of your proteins!!!

You will not be disappointed.

We couldn’t have asked or hoped for a more amazing display! We weren’t sure exactly what we wanted for hors d’oeuvres but Sandra was patient and helpful in selecting an inclusive selection for all! We can’t say enough about the quality, service, and presentation Ghent provided us with! Words just don’t do it Justice!

They catered our wedding and were absolutely PERFECT in every way. They went out of their way to ensure we loved every aspect of our menu before the wedding and truly exceeded every expectation possible.

I attended my cousins wedding last year and Ghent Sandwich shop is who catered, and the food was amazing. Baked chicken, pot roast, with all the fixings and desert too. 10/10 recommend for home cooked food.

My husband was a cook in the Navy and both of our fathers are Vietnam Veterans. We take pride in our military background and especially love to work with the military couples getting married. I believe in communication and planning and strive to make sure every detail is met for your food service.
